An Exploration of Teachers’ Integration of Visual Literacy in the Egyptian Secondary English Language Classrooms
Authors: Mostafa Asmaa Abdel-Moneim
Published: June 2016

Recognizing the need for students to be literate in  the more traditional areas of reading and writing, professional organizations such as the NCTE, IRA, and NCATE as well as NAQAAE, The National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education in Egypt, have put in place English language standards that address other literacies, including visual literacy. Yet, it has been unclear how secondary English language teachers feel about and understand what is expected of them in teaching non-print literacy, and if they indeed are teaching concepts related to comprehension and production of information in non-text format. This study attempts to discover teachers' attitudes toward, understanding of, and use of visual literacy concepts through a survey of the secondary English language teachers in Egypt. Based on the information from the responses to the survey, secondary English language teachers have received no formal training in teaching visual literacy and that their informal training consists mainly of discussions with colleagues and independent study; among others.

Phonology in Teacher Education in Nigeria: The Igbo Language Example
Authors: Nkamigbo Linda Chinelo
Published: June 2016

The goals of education cannot be achieved without language. Language is actively involved in the production of qualified teachers who will teach at various levels of the educational system. Furthermore, linguistics is the area of study that is concerned with objective and empirical study of language, and phonology undoubtedly is a crucial aspect of this set up. This paper addresses the issues of phonological facilitation and interference in both teacher training and general education in sub-Saharan Africa. These phonological phenomena are critically examined as they feature in Igbo, one of the major African languages, spoken predominantly in South-Eastern Nigeria. The sound system of Igbo influences that of the English of the native Igbo speakers. Therefore, this paper recommends that the language instructor should focus on the variations in the English of the native Igbo speakers in order to achieve a near Standard English by the Igbo speakers of English.
TOWARDS UTILIZING NEW DIGITAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PROMOTION OF PEACE EDUCATION IN NIGERIA
Authors: Okolie-Osemene James
Published: June 2016

Recent events in Nigeria have shown that the country cannot move forward without considering peace education in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions. To make this realistic, it is crucial, if a wider audience is to be reached, that new digital media technologies are utilized in the processes of peace education teaching and learning. This article examines the possibilities of utilizing digital media technologies in promoting peace education in Nigeria based on primary and secondary sources of literature relevant to the issues. With the help of new digital media technologies, peace education will improve the public’s sense of security in Nigeria. The study advocates for immediate use of new digital media in peace education teaching and learning. The argument this article presents is that using new digital media in peace education must be seen as a core national project and therefore taken seriously by stakeholders because peace is synonymous with development.
The Developmental Conditions of Classroom Teaching and Learning in a Primary School in Zimbabwe
Authors: Ndlovu SIBONOKUHLE NIL , Muthivhi Azwihangwisi E.
Published: June 2016

The paper bases upon the research that was carried in 2010 to investigate the prevailing conditions of schooling and classroom teaching and learning in Southern Zimbabwe, using the Vygotskian socio-cultural theory to analyse the consequences that the breakdown of schooling and classroom teaching and learning had on learners'performance and cognitive development. Using a case study of the specific primary school in Gwanda district, the findings were that classroom teaching and learning in rural Zimbabwe was adversely affected by a conglomerate of contextual factors and worsened by the prevailing socio-economic and political problems resulting in contradictory classroom practices of teaching and learning.The analysis revealed the extent to which classroom teaching and learning had deteriorated and how the cultural practices of this specific tradtion of schooling impede on the possibilities for meaningful learning activities in the classroom. The paper contributes towards an understanding of the effects of the specific cultural conditions of schooling on learners' learning and cognitive development within the prevailing context of socio-economic and political instability in Zimbabwe and suggests ways in which teachers could organise pedagogy to assist their learners' learning and cognitive development.

Ethical Conflicts and Moral Dilemmas Experienced by Physical Education Teachers in Tanzania
Authors: Mabagala Stephen
Published: June 2016

The purpose of this study was to explore the ethical conflicts and moral dilemmas (ECMD) experienced by Physical Education (PE) teachers. The study also thought to explore the influence of demographic and institutional characteristics on the ECMD experienced by PE teachers. The experience of PE teachers is unique because of the nature of their duties in and outside the classroom and school environments where there are a lot of interactions. The study utilized descriptive survey design and was conducted in secondary schools and teachers’ colleges that had PE and sport programs. Purposive sampling was adopted to select PE teachers, students and heads of institutions and data were collected through questionnaire. Results revealed that PE teachers faced ethical conflicts and moral dilemmas in their duties (M =3.4, SD = .79). ECD facing PE teachers differed significantly across institutional location [t (411.33) = 2.453, p =.015)], institutional ownership [F (3, 788) = 5.01, p =.002)] and type of institution [(t (50) = -2.45, p = .019)]. There were no significant differences across age categories [F (4, 47) = .500, p = .736)], educational levels [F (3, 48) = 1.648, p = .191)], gender [t (50) = .383, p = .703], marital status [t (50) = .439, p = .663] and teaching experience [F (3, 48 =.638, p =.594]. It was concluded that ECD are prevalent in secondary schools and teachers colleges. PE teachers whose institutions are located in urban areas face more ECD than those located in rural areas. Religious and military-owned institutions face less ECD than government and privately-owned institutions. Moreover, PE teachers in secondary schools face more ECD than those in teachers’ colleges. It was recommended that there is a need to strengthen professional development courses for teachers and emphasize the teaching of moral and professional ethics in the teacher education programs; and improve the teaching and learning environment.

Authors: Osuafor Abigail Mgboyibo , Okoli Josephine N
Published: June 2016

This study was aimed at finding out the attitude of non-science specialist teachers to teaching of basic science and technology and the difficulties they encounter while teaching the subject. The descriptive survey involved 126 Primary six non-science specialist teachers in Primary schools in Anambra State of Nigeria. The study was guided by two research questions. A structured 20-item questionnaire developed by the researchers was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using frequencies and mean. Results show that: (1) Non-science specialist teachers teaching basic science and technology have positive attitude towards the subject. (2) The teachers do not find it difficult to comprehend basic science and technology textbooks, they can operate the equipment and perform simple experiments, they can improvise the equipment and materials they use in teaching and they understand the concepts involved. (3) Inadequate teaching materials, pupils not being able to understand science and technology lessons, difficulty in explaining some concepts in mother tongue and teacher training program being mainly theory-oriented were some of the problems encountered by the non-science specialist teachers in teaching basic science and technology. Based on these results, recommendations were made some of which are that the serving teachers should be provided with regular in-service training through workshops, all pre-service (trainee) teachers should be exposed to the rudiments or introductory aspects of science and technology, and efforts should be made to create Igbo names for the science and technology terminologies and equipments to enable the teachers to communicate ideas to the pupils clearly.

This study contributes to the limited research available on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) literacy of language teachers in Nigeria. The advent of ICT brought new opportunities that require a skill set to operate better and faster, even in the education sector.  The case for teachers’ ICT literacy is cogent in the information age to update them on their areas of specialization. The use of ICT requires some skills to enhance the access and retrieval of the required information without undue stress. The level of ICT skills a teacher possesses may affect the extent to which the teacher puts ICT to use. This study revealed that majority of the respondents made use of ICT resources. The study revealed that aggregately a large proportion of the teachers are ICT literate. This study made recommendations to improve ICT skills training and access to ICT resources.
FAILURE TO ACHIEVE DEVELOPMENT IN SPITE OF A SERIES OF REFORMS: WHAT IS WRONG WITH EFL TEACHERS’ ENGLISH PROFICIENCY?
Authors: Birbirso Dereje Tadesse
Published: June 2016

This study focuses on one of Ethiopia’s unfading education policy problems, namely the poor English proficiency of EFL teachers and their students. Qualitative data was collected through unstructured questionnaire and participant observation from twenty-five randomly selected highly experienced EFL schoolteachers and tertiary EFL educators coming from all corners of the country. Relevant archival data were also collected. Besides, four expert informants were also involved as critical consultants for the study. The data was analyzed qualitatively with the reflective and iterative constant comparative method. The results show that for Ethiopian EFL teachers, the problem of the so-called “poor” English proficiency is actually an outcome or a result of poor socio-educational preconditions that inhibited their holistic development as dignified, full-fledged professional citizens. Particularly, meager living conditions, alienating working environments, and a totalitarian policy and practices known as “Cascade Model” are the chief stumbling blocks to their development as fully proficient EFL teachers.

“A exceção e a regra”: fragmentos de uma reflexão jurídico-literária
Authors: Ribeiro Iara Pereira
Published: June 2016

Análise do texto teatral “A Exceção e a Regra”, escrita em 1929/1930 pelo dramaturgo alemão Bertolt Brecht. A peça trata do julgamento de um comerciante rico, que durante uma viagem de negócios pelo deserto, matou o homem que lhe servia de carregador e guia. O texto escolhido permite abordar a semelhança entre encenação e julgamento, caracterizada pela oralidade e publicidade; constatar a atualidade do tema e a coincidência entre ficção e realidade; e realizar a crítica da inversão lógica do uso da regra e da exceção, que faz da exceção, a regra.
Peri no advento da república: a construção da ideia política de nação pela literatura romântica no século XIX
Authors: Campos Juliana Cristine Diniz
Published: June 2016

Busca-se investigar de que modo a arte e, mais especificamente, a literatura foi utilizada na construção do ideário político do Brasil do século XIX. Entendida como instrumento do processo de cristalização da identidade nacional a partir da exaltação da natureza exótica e das virtudes do nativo, a literatura romântica é utilizada com uma clara função simbólica e ideológica no advento das instituições republicanas, para além de seu papel recreativo declarado. O artigo analisa, ainda, o papel que a literatura teve no projeto civilizatório da República, por meio da educação em costumes na burguesia urbana. O trabalho apresenta uma análise interdisciplinar entre literatura, arte, história e política para o fim de aprofundar a investigação sobre os processos de construção identitária no período imperial brasileiro.
Cosa accade di là dall’oceano? Diritto e letteratura in Europa
Authors: Mittica M. Paola
Published: June 2016

Obiettivo di questo contributo è delineare il quadro attuale degli studi di “Diritto e letteratura” da intendersi come una metodologia che riflette sull’interdisciplinarietà come via necessaria per elaborare un’osservazione complessa dei fatti dell’uomo e delle sue relazioni. Ma può divenire anche un movimento nell’orizzonte dell’impegno civico e politico, qualora alla cultura dell’interdisciplinarietà si coniughi quella dell’alterità e della responsabilità. Nel riassumerne le linee essenziali, l’esperienza europea sarà messa a confronto con quella statunitense per evidenziare la necessità di un recupero critico dell’identità culturale europea, da cui muovere in modo più costruttivo e originale all’evoluzione della prospettiva. Con particolare riferimento alla “rinascita” italiana degli studi di Diritto e letteratura dell’ultimo ventennio, saranno poi delineate alcune distinzioni di campo, utili a individuare tra i diversi versanti di Law and Humanities quelli che segnano l’ambito specifico di Diritto e letteratura, per tracciare, infine, all’interno di quest’ultimo, alcune direttrici di ricerca condivisibili interdisciplinariamente.
Il potere del linguaggio e le narrative processuali
Authors: Vespaziani Alberto
Published: June 2016

Il testo indaga la relazione ambivalente che lega il potere del linguaggio al linguaggio del potere; quindi esplora il concetto di narrazione, nella doppia dimensione di narrazione nel processo e di narrazione come processo. La narratività viene discussa sia in riferimento alla giurisprudenza costituzionale, sia alla costituzione stessa, intesa come un processo pubblico. Lo studio culturale del diritto considera il linguaggio giuridico non come uno strumento, ma come un insieme di segni che richiedono interpretazioni plurali.

"Ceci n’est pas un oiseau" – O juiz como crítico e o conceito de obra de arte no direito tributário
Authors: Franca Filho Marcílio Toscano , Maia Mariana Lima
Published: June 2016

A definição de obra de arte é elusiva e mutável, disputada há tempos no âmbito da filosofia e da teoria da arte. Contudo, as práticas e objetos envolvidos na atividade artística são suscetíveis à regulação jurídica. O direito, para cumprir sua função de tutelar interesses e dirimir conflitos numa sociedade complexa, adota definições operacionais vinculantes. Partindo dessas constatações, o caso Brancusi v. Estados Unidos serve como paradigma para uma análise do direito tributário, com o objetivo investigar qual a definição de obra de arte para o direito, estabelecer um diálogo entre os conceitos jurídico e não-jurídico de obra de arte, identificar áreas em que proteção jurídica diferenciada é concedida a objetos classificados como arte e as tensões entre a abrangência cada vez maior da arte contemporânea e a necessidade de certeza jurídica do direito.
An Adaptive Ensemble Smoother With Multiple Data Assimilation for Assisted History Matching
Authors: Le Duc H. , Emerick Alexandre A. , Reynolds Albert C.
Published: June 2016

Recently, Emerick and Reynolds (2012) introduced the ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilations (ES-MDA) for assisted history matching. With computational examples, they demonstrated that ES-MDA provides both a better data match and a better quantification of uncertainty than is obtained with the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). However, similar to EnKF, ES-MDA can experience near ensemble collapse and results in too many extreme values of rock-property fields for complex problems. These negative effects can be avoided by a judicious choice of the ES-MDA inflation factors, but, before this work, the optimal inflation factors could only be determined by trial and error. Here, we provide two automatic procedures for choosing the inflation factor for the next data-assimilation step adaptively as the history match proceeds. Both methods are motivated by knowledge of regularization procedures—the first is intuitive and heuristical; the second is motivated by existing theory on the regularization of least-squares inverse problems. We illustrate that the adaptive ES-MDA algorithms are superior to the original ES-MDA algorithm by history matching three-phase-flow production data for a complicated synthetic problem in which the reservoir-model parameters include the porosity, horizontal and vertical permeability fields, depths of the initial fluid contacts, and the parameters of power-law permeability curves.
A Multiscale Restriction-Smoothed Basis Method for Compressible Black-Oil Models
Authors: Møyner Olav , Lie Knut-Andreas
Published: June 2016

Simulation problems encountered in reservoir management are often computationally expensive because of the complex fluid physics for multiphase flow and the large number of grid cells required to honor geological heterogeneity. Multiscale methods have been proposed as a computationally inexpensive alternative to traditional fine-scale solvers for computing conservative approximations of the pressure and velocity fields on high-resolution geocellular models. Although a wide variety of such multiscale methods have been discussed in the literature, these methods have not yet seen widespread use in industry. One reason may be that no method has been presented so far that handles the combination of realistic flow physics and industry-standard grid formats in their full complexity. Herein, we present a multiscale method that handles both the most widespread type of flow physics (black-oil-type models) and standard grid formats such as corner-point, stair-stepped, and perpendicular bisector (PEBI), as well as general unstructured, polyhedral grids. Our approach is derived from a finite-volume formulation in which the basis functions are constructed by use of restricted smoothing to effectively capture the local features of the permeability. The method can also be formulated easily for other types of flow models, provided that one has a reliable (iterative) solution strategy that computes flow and transport in separate steps. The proposed method is implemented as open-source software and validated on a number of two- and three-phase test cases with significant compressibility and gas dissolution. The test cases include both synthetic models and models of real fields with complex wells, faults, and inactive and degenerate cells. Through a prescribed tolerance, the solver can be set to either converge to a sequential solution or the fully implicit solution, in both cases with a significant speedup compared with a fine-scale multigrid solver. Altogether, this ensures that one can easily and systematically trade accuracy for efficiency, or vice versa.

Experience of meeting God constitutes an interresting phenomenon and become the focus of interrest of many disciplines. Psychology and tasawuf are two disciplines which focusedly study this phenomenon applying different approaches. Ghazali is the representative of the dicsipline of tasawwuf and William James is the representative of the dicsipline of psychology. The both experts applied the different approaches in studying the religious experiences. Epistemological base on which William James used , has the scientific accountability but less accurate in the source of knowledge. In other side, Ghazali has a deep source of knowledge but less of rationality. An effort to compromise the both approach in order to study about the experience of meeting God will result in a comprehensive, deep, and objective depiction.

Pengalaman bersua Tuhan merupakan fenomena yang menarik dan menjadi titik perhatian banyak disiplin ilmu. Psikologi dan tasawuf merupakan dua disiplin ilmu yang memfokuskan kajiannya pada fenomena ini dengan menerapkan pendekatan yang berbeda. Ghazali adalah representasi dari disiplin ilmu tasawuf dan William James adalah representasi disiplin ilmu psikologi. Kedua ahli tersebut menggunakan pendekatan yang berbeda dalam mengkaji pengalaman keagamaan. Basis epistimologi yang digunakan oleh James memiliki akuntabilitas ilmiah namun kurang akurat dalam sumber pengetahuannya. Di sisi lain Ghazali memiliki sumber pengetahuan yang dalam namun kurang dari sisi rasionalitas. Upaya untuk mengkompromikan kedua pendekatan dalam rangka untuk mengkaji pengalaman bersua Tuhan akan menghasilkan penggambaran yang dalam dan obyektif.

Authors: Muhlis Muhlis
Published: June 2016

The Ngali-Renda conflict is habituated. It has taken for years. It has grown in its severity. It is not the case that the people of Ngali and Renda and the government do nothing in dealing with the conflict. However, the conflict is still there and waiting its trigger to appear. This research is significant in that it analyzes the traditional factors and interventions of the conflict. Applying qualitative research and historical, socio-cultural and phenomenological approaches showed that the Ngali-Renda conflict transformed from ndempa (empty-handed fighting) to lewa (armed fighting). Ndempa implied the spirit of honesty, openness and patriotism. It occurred every year in rest period of cultivation and took one or two month. Although ndempa was kapoda ade (serious and violent), it was kadihi ade (no intention to do harm) and for play and pleasure. On the contrary, lewa was more violent and caused casualties because the fighters used big knifes, arrows and firearms.

Konflik Ngali-Renda merupakan konflik yang sudah biasa terjadi. Konflik ini merupakan konflik kekerasan. Masyarakat Ngali-renda maupun pemerintah telah berupaya untuk mengatasi konflik tersebut, namun belum menampakkan hasil. Penelitian ini memiliki ati penting untuk melihat faktor-faktor tradisional dan penanganan konflik yang telah dilakukan. Tampak dalam penelitian ini bahwa konflik Ngali-Renda merupakan transformasi konflik dari ndempa (perkelahian tanpa senjata) menjadi lewa (perkelahian dengan senjata). Ndempa memiliki makna semangat kejujuran, keterbukaan, dan patriotisme. Tradisi ini merupakan tradisi tahunan, yang dilakukan setelah musim tanam dan berlangsung selama satu hingga dua bulan. Walaupun ndempa disebut kapoda ade (sungguh-sungguh dan keras) namun kadihe ade (tidak berniat untuk menyakiti), dan hanya untuk tujuan permainan dan kesenangan. Sementara lewa lebih keras dan me­nyebab­kan korban luka karena pelaku menggunakan pedang, panah, serta senjata api.

This study is about the potential prejudice sparked internal conflict of Muslims, especially between the group Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and the Council of Tafsir Al-Qur'an (MTA) in Surakarta. Lately there is a conflict between NU and the MTA congregation. MTA is questioned by NU in some areas because of the materials and methods of preaching/dakwah considered to be provocative and less likely to appreciate the difference fiqhiyah and abusive deeds done by NU. From the reason above, the conflict between these two Islamic organizations appeared. One of the triggers that caused the internal conflict among Muslims is the certain group of Muslims can not understand well the other religious groups, which have different ideological backgrounds; that it affects the way of thinking, behaving and acting that are different from themselves. As a result, the internal relations marred by religious conflict, caused by the internal religious prejudice. Similarly, the possibility that occurred among the group of NU and MTA.

Akibatnya, hubungan internal yang dirusak oleh konflik agama, disebabkan oleh prasangka keagamaan internal. Demikian pula, ke­mungkin­an yang terjadi di antara kelompok NU dan MTA.

Vertentes da Educação Ambiental: da conservacionista à critica
Authors: Santos Jéssica De Andrade , Toschi Mirza Seabra
Published: June 2016

Ao longo de sua história a Educação Ambiental recebeu várias denominações, desse modo o presente trabalho visou analisar as vertentes da educação ambiental presentes atualmente, assim como, entender sua formação histórica. Para isto foi realizada revisão de literatura utilizando como aporte teórico, o trabalho de Layrargues e Lima (2011). A Educação Ambiental surge em 1965 em um contexto de preocupação com os recursos naturais. No Brasil, porém, esta prática educativa só foi instituída na década de 1980. Até este período a educação ambiental possuía enfoque estritamente ambiental. Atualmente existem várias vertentes e, neste trabalho, foram consideradas três macrotendências principais, conservacionista, pragmática e crítica, que se diferenciam principalmente por seus objetivos com relação ao meio ambiente e à sociedade.Palavras chave: História; Macrotendências; Sociedade.
