Pedagogical Curricula and Educational Media: The Malignancy of Saffronised Otherisation in India
Authors: Biswas Titas
Published: December 2020

Saffronisation, a neologism that is derived from the saffron robes worn in particular by holy Hindu men, is used to denote the conflation of linguistic, semiotic and political actions taken by the far-right Hindu nationalist brotherhood in India to mechanically alter Indian history so that it resonates with the rest of the Hindu nationalist propaganda and policymaking. The process of Saffronisation, when coupled with westernised pedagogical curricula, has been inculcated within and beyond the periphery of educational institutions since the early twentieth century. While education in India has remained a concentrated resource in the hands of the communities that constitute the upper castes within the social hierarchy, the exclusivity of available academic resources and intellectual capital in the hands of a selected few has come off as the result of intersectional crises that collectively act as a bridge in connecting class and caste politics. This paper explores the impact of Saffronisation as a socio-political movement on educational institutions, the changes that have been made in textbooks in the recent times and in a holistic sense, attempts to analyse the effects of a neo-Fascist governance on schooling and how it affects students hailing from backgrounds that have been marginalised for generations. It is also an exploration of the role of the saffron propaganda in enabling otherisation of non-Hindu identities in higher education institutions.
Larval Morphological Development and Seasonal Variation of the Mediterranean Sand Eel, Gymnammodytes cicerelus (Rafinesque, 1810) in the Shallow Waters of Gökçeada Island, North Aegean Sea
Authors: DABAN İsmail Burak , İŞMEN Ali
Published: December 2020

Mediterranean sand eel, Gymnammodytes cicerelus (Rafinesque, 1810) is a demersal subtropical fish species belonging to the family Ammodytidae. In this study, the morphological development and temporal variations of Mediterranean sand eel larvae were studied. Ichthyoplankton samples were collected between September 2015 and April 2016 in the shallow waters of the Gökçeada Island, northern Aegean Sea. Samples were collected with horizontal tows, using a WP-2 plankton net (57 cm frame diameter equipped with a 500 µm mesh, 3 m total length). Early life stages were photographed and morphological features of individuals between 2.73–7.91 mm in standard length were described comprehensively. It was determined that spawning occurred between November and February and peaked in December. Larval abundance ranged between 6.36 and 69.96 individuals/1000 m3. In this study, the abundance and distribution of the species in the Mediterranean was revealed for the first time.
Catching the Fastest Boomerangs
Authors: Delaune Stéphanie , Derbez Patrick , Vavrille Mathieu
Published: December 2020

In this paper we describe a new tool to search for boomerang distinguishers. One limitation of the MILP model of Liu et al. is that it handles only one round for the middle part while Song et al. have shown that dependencies could affect much more rounds, for instance up to 6 rounds for SKINNY. Thus we describe a new approach to turn an MILP model to search for truncated characteristics into an MILP model to search for truncated boomerang characteristics automatically handling the middle rounds. We then show a new CP model to search for the best possible instantiations to identify good boomerang distinguishers. Finally we systematized the method initiated by Song et al. to precisely compute the probability of a boomerang. As a result, we found many new boomerang distinguishers up to 24 rounds in the TK3 model. In particular, we improved by a factor 230 the probability of the best known distinguisher against 18-round SKINNY-128/256.
Tightness of the Suffix Keyed Sponge Bound
Authors: Dobraunig Christoph , Mennink Bart
Published: December 2020

Generic attacks are a vital ingredient in the evaluation of the tightness of security proofs. In this paper, we evaluate the tightness of the suffix keyed sponge (SuKS) bound. As its name suggests, SuKS is a sponge-based construction that absorbs the key after absorbing the data, but before producing an output. This absorption of the key can be done via an easy to invert operation, like an XOR, or a hard to invert operation, like a PRF. Using SuKS with a hard to invert absorption provides benefits with respect to its resistance against side-channel attacks, and such a construction is used as part of the authenticated encryption scheme Isap. We derive two key recovery attacks against SuKS with easy to invert key absorption, and a forgery in case of hard to invert key absorption. The attacks closely match the terms in the PRF security bound of SuKS by Dobraunig and Mennink, ToSC 2019(4), and therewith show that these terms are justified, even if the function used to absorb the key is a PRF, and regardless of whether SuKS is used as a PRF or a MAC.
Fake Near Collisions Attacks
Authors: Derbez Patrick , Fouque Pierre-Alain , Mollimard Victor
Published: December 2020

Fast Near collision attacks on the stream ciphers Grain v1 and A5/1 were presented at Eurocrypt 2018 and Asiacrypt 2019 respectively. They use the fact that the entire internal state can be split into two parts so that the second part can be recovered from the first one which can be found using the keystream prefix and some guesses of the key materials.In this paper we reevaluate the complexity of these attacks and show that actually they are inferior to previously known results. Basically, we show that their complexity is actually much higher and we point out the main problems of these papers based on information theoretic ideas. We also check that some distributions do not have the predicted entropy loss claimed by the authors. Checking cryptographic attacks with galactic complexity is difficult in general. In particular, as these attacks involve many steps it is hard to identify precisely where the attacks are flawed. But for the attack against A5/1, it could have been avoided if the author had provided a full experiment of its attack since the overall claimed complexity was lower than 232 in both time and memory.

REFERÉNDUM Y DELIBERACIÓN
Authors: LÓPEZ RUBIO DANIEL
Published: December 2020

Una de las críticas más habituales que se realiza contra el empleo del referéndum como cauce de decisión de los asuntos públicos es aquella que hace referencia a sus carencias deliberativas. El referéndum serviría como mero instrumento de agregación de intereses, sin preocupación alguna por la reflexión y el diálogo. El presente artículo estudia pormenorizadamente todos aquellos elementos que resultan claves para la consecución de un grado razonable de deliberación en la campaña previa a la votación popular, como la claridad de la pregunta, la información facilitada al votante o el reparto de los recursos públicos entre las partes en liza. Con apoyo en experiencias nacionales e internacionales, se defiende la tesis de que una regulación adecuada de todos ellos podría servir para salvar muchos de los déficits que enfrenta la institución. En definitiva, el trabajo pretende demostrar la escasa utilidad que tiene la formulación de críticas globales a la figura del referéndum, cobrando mucho más sentido dirigir la mirada hacia su concreto diseño en cada sistema.

Erreferenduma gai publikoak erabakitzeko bide gisa erabiltzearen aurka egiten den kritika ohikoenetako bat honako hau da: erabakitzeko gabeziak dituela. Erreferendumak soilik balioko luke interesak gehitzeko, hausnarketaz eta elkarrizketaz kezkatu beharrik izan gabe. Artikulu honek zehatz-mehatz aztertzen ditu herri-bozketaren aurreko kanpainan eztabaida-maila arrazoizkoa lortzeko funtsezkoak diren elementu guztiak, hala nola: galdera argia izatea, boto-emaileari informazioa ematea edo baliabide publikoak banatzea tartean dauden alderdien artean. Nazioko eta nazioarteko esperientzietan oinarrituta, tesi hau defendatzen da: horiek guztiak behar bezala arautuz gero erakundeak aurrez aurre dituen gabezietako asko gaindituko lirateke. Azken batean, lan honen bidez frogatu nahi da erreferendumari kritika globalak egitea alperrekoa dela, askoz zentzu handiagoa baitu sistema bakoitzean modu jakin batean diseinatzea.

One of criticisms usually made against the referendum as a way for citizens to take part in public decision-making processes refers to its deliberative disadvantages. The referendum would be simply an instrument to gather opinions, with no interest in reflection or dialogue processes. This paper thoroughly analyses the key elements to achieve a reasonable level of deliberation in the previous campaign, such as the clarity of the question, the information provided to the voter or the distribution of public resources among the contestants. Considering national and international experiences, the author supports the idea according to which an appropriate regulation of these key elements would allow us to overcome many of the shortcomings faced by the institution. Ultimately, this paper shows the futility of general criticisms against the referendum while considers that it would be more useful to pay attention to the design of the institution made in each system.
ACTOS Y DISPOSICIONES DE LAS JUNTAS GENERALES, ¿SE SITÚAN AL MARGEN DEL CONTROL CONTENCIOSO-ADMINISTRATIVO?
Authors: AGIRREAZKUENAGA ZIGORRAGA IÑAKI
Published: December 2020

Frente a la interpretación de que la disposición adicional 1ª de la Ley 29/1998 solo somete a control contencioso los ¿actos y disposiciones en materia de personal y gestión patrimonial sujetos al derecho público adoptados por las Juntas Generales de los Territorios Históricos¿, se sostiene que todos los actos o acuerdos ¿parlamentarios o administrativos¿ de las Juntas Generales, que causen efectos jurídicos, están sujetos al control jurisdiccional contencioso-administrativo. Y todas las disposiciones que aprueben las Juntas Generales son controlables ante la misma jurisdicción, aunque en el caso de las Normas Forales fiscales su control será compartido entre la jurisdicción contenciosa y la constitucional, en los términos interpretativos que ha fijado el FJ 3º de la STC 118/2016.

29/1998 Legearen 1. xedapen gehigarriak "Lurralde Historikoetako Batzar Nagusiek Zuzenbide publikoari lotutako langileen eta ondare-kudeaketaren arloan hartutako egintza eta xedapenak" soilik auzi-kontrolaren mende jartzen dituela dioen interpretazioaren aurrean, esaten da ondorio juridikoak dituzten Batzar Nagusien egintza edo erabaki guztiak ¿legebiltzarrekoak edo administratiboak¿ administrazioarekiko auzien jurisdikzio-kontrolari lotuta daudela. Eta Batzar Nagusiek onartzen dituzten xedapen guztiak jurisdikzio beraren aurrean kontrola daitezke, nahiz eta foru-arau fiskalen kasuan haien kontrola auzien jurisdikzioaren eta jurisdikzio konstituzionalaren artean partekatuko den, Konstituzio Auzitegiaren 118/2016 Epaiaren 3. oinarri juridikoak ezarritako interpretazioaren arabera.

Facing the interpretation that the 1st additional provision of Law 29/1998 only submit ¿the acts and provisions in matters of personnel and property management subject to public law adopted by the General Assemblies of the Historical Territories¿ to contentious control, it is upheld that all acts or agreements ¿parliamentary or administrative¿ of the General Assemblies, which cause legal effects, are subject to contentious-administrative jurisdictional control. And all the provisions approved by the General Assemblies are controllable before the same jurisdiction, although in the case of the Fiscal Foral Rules their control will be shared between the contentious and the constitutional jurisdiction, in the interpretive terms established by the 3rd legal basis (FJ) of the Constitutional Court Judgment (STC) 118/2016.
LAS COMUNIDADES DE REGANTES ANTE LA LEGISLACIÓN DE CONTRATOS DEL SECTOR PÚBLICO
Authors: EZQUERRA HUERVA ANTONIO
Published: December 2020

En el presente trabajo se aborda el estudio acerca de la sujeción o no de las comunidades de regantes- y, por extensión, de cualesquiera comunidades de usuarios de aguas públicas- a la Ley de Contratos del Sector Público. Se trata de una cuestión controvertida, tal como lo demuestra el hecho de que sobre la misma se hayan defendido interpretaciones radicalmente opuestas por parte de algunos tribunales administrativos de recursos contractuales. La conclusión que se sostiene es contraria a la consideración de las comunidades de regantes como parte integrante del ámbito subjetivo de aplicación de la legislación de contratos del sector público, toda vez que las mismas no hallan encaje ni en el concepto de administración pública, ni en el de poder adjudicador que no tiene la condición de administración pública ni, en fin, en la categoría de las entidades del sector público que no tienen el carácter de poder adjudicador.

Lan honetan, aztertzen da ureztatzaileen komunitateak -eta, hedaduraz, ur publikoen erabiltzaileen edozein komunitate- Sektore Publikoko Kontratuen Legeari lotuta dauden ala ez. Gai eztabaidagarria da, eta horren erakusgarri da zenbait administrazio-auzitegik kontratu-errekurtsoei buruz egindako interpretazio erabat kontrajarriak defendatu izana. Defendatzen den ondorioa ez dator bat ureztatzaileen komunitateak sektore publikoko kontratuen legeriaren aplikazio-eremu subjektiboaren zati gisa hartzearekin; izan ere, komunitate horiek ez dira sartzen ez administrazio publikoaren kontzeptuan, ez administrazio publikoaren izaera ez duen botere adjudikatzailearen kontzeptuan, ezta, azken batean, botere adjudikatzailearen izaera ez duten sektore publikoko entitateen kategorian ere.

This paper addresses the subjection or not of the irrigation communities -and of any communities of public water users- to the Public Sector Contracts Law. This is a contentious issue, as demonstrated by the fact that radically opposed interpretations of it have been advocated by some contractual administrative courts. The sustained conclusion is contrary to the consideration of the irrigation communities as an integral part of the subjective scope of application of the public sector contracts legislation, since they do not fit either in the concept of public administration or in the contracting authority that lacks of the status of public administration nor, finally, in the category of public sector entities which do not have the character of contracting authority.
New President, Old Problems: The Challenges of Post-Nazarbayev State-Building in Kazakhstan
Authors:   Eurasia Institutes, Terzyan Aram
Published: December 2020

This paper explores post-Nazarbayev state-building in Kazakhstan, focusing on domestic and foreign policy implications of the power transition. After thirty years of incumbency, President Nursultan Nazarbayev stepped down in 2019, smoothly transferring the power to his nominee, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, and thus plunged the country into a sensitive phase of power transition. This study suggests that the power transition in Kazakhstan has not led to significant improvements in terms of human rights and political freedoms protection, leaving the state of the weak opposition and constrained civil society intact. Kazakhstan keeps maintaining the core features of oil-rich countries, with hydrocarbon-based economy and regime stability stemming from an “authoritarian bargain” between the state and society. Besides, there has been continuity in foreign policy, with Kazakhstan further pursuing a multi-vectoral foreign policy agenda.
'Academia Inc.': The Perspective of University Presidents
Authors: Mount Joan , Belanger Charles
Published: December 2020

With the erosion of public funding, Canadian universities have increasingly diversified their funding base. An upsurge of entrepreneurial initiatives has displayed significant earmarks of privatization which have alarmed some faculty and student stakeholders, drawing reactions particularly from among those from the arts domains. They accuse senior university administrative officers of distorting academic values. This study is an attempt to capture and understand the views of presidents of Canadian universities (N = 89) through a 60-item questionnaire focused in broad terms on academic values, funding, institutional directions, and the impact of the corporate sector.
Testing the Effect of a Cohort Grouping Model as a Form of Instructional Grouping in Teacher Education
Authors: Dyson Lily , Hanley Betty
Published: December 2020

The study examined the effect of cohort grouping as a form of delivering teacher education programs on student social adjustment and acadmic performance. A sample of 94 students entering a Canadian Faculty of Education was divided into two groups: the cohort (n = 46) and the non-cohort group (n = 48). The former shared five courses and learned together from the same instructors for the academic year, and the latter took courses individually. The results showed that while there were no group differences on the measures of social support, self-efficacy, and university adjustment, the non-cohort group made greater gains than the cohort group in the academic performance as measured by the grade point average (GPA) over the academic year.
A Matter of Discipline: Open Access, the Humanities, and Art History
Authors: Tomlin Patrick
Published: December 2020

Recent events suggest that open access has gained new momentum in the humanities, but the slow and uneven development of open-access initiatives in humanist fields continues to hinder the consolidation of efforts across the university. Although various studies have traced the general origins of the humanities’ reticence to embrace open access, few have actually considered the scholarly practices and disciplinary priorities that shape a discipline’s adoption of its principles. This article examines the emergence, potential and actualized, of open access in art history. Part case study, part conceptual mapping, the discussion is framed within the context of three interlocking dynamics: the present state of academic publishing in art history; the dominance of the journal and self-archiving repository within open-access models of scholarly production; and the unique roles played by copyright and permissions in art historical scholarship. It is hoped that tracing the discipline-specific configuration of research provides a first step toward both investigating the identity that open access might assume within the humanities, from discipline to discipline, and explaining how and why it might allow scholars to better serve themselves and their audiences.
A Profile of Undergraduate Student Parents in Canada
Authors: Van Rhijn Tricia , Quosai Trudy Smit , Lero Donna S.
Published: December 2020

Student parents are a significant minority population on Canadian post-secondary campuses. As research exploring this population has been extremely limited to date, this study provides the first national profile of Canadian student parents. We explore student parent enrolment patterns over time and examine current demographic characteristics. The data for this study were drawn from two datasets collected by Statistics Canada: the Labour Force Survey 1976–2005 and the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics 2004 cross-sectional data file. Student parents accounted for between 11% and 16% of all post-secondary enrolment between 1976 and 2005. Further analyses explore participation patterns based on type of institution (college/university), study status (full-/part-time study), age, gender, and marital status. Future research directions and implications for policies and institutional practice are discussed.
Teaching Creativity Across Disciplines at Ontario Universities
Authors: Marquis Elizabeth , Henderson Jeremy A.
Published: December 2020

While a wide variety of publications have suggested that the development of student creativity should be an important objective for contemporary universities, information about how best to achieve this goal across a range of disciplinary contexts is nonetheless scant. The present study aimed to begin to fill this gap by gathering data (via an electronic survey instrument) about how the teaching and learning of creativity are perceived and enacted by instructors in different disciplines at Ontario universities. Results indicated points of both convergence and divergence between respondents from different fields in terms of their understandings of the place of creativity within courses and programs, and in terms of strategies they reported using to enable creativity in their students. We discuss the implications of these findings, including the ways in which the data speak to ongoing debates about the role of disciplines within teaching, learning, and creativity more broadly.
Barriers to Differentiation: Applying Organizational Studies to Ontario Higher Education
Authors: Pizarro Milian Roger , Davies Scott , Zarifa David
Published: December 2020

Ontario’s Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities is currently attempting to increase institutional differentiation within that province’s post-secondary education system. We contend that such policies aimed to trigger organizational change are likely to generate unanticipated responses. Using insights from the field of organizational studies, we anticipate four plausible responses from universities to the ministry’s directives: remaining sensitive to their market demand, ceremonial compliance, continued status seeking, and isomorphism. We provide several policy recommendations that might help the ministry overcome these possible barriers to further differentiation.
Immigration et cheminements scolaires aux études supérieures au Canada : qui y va et quand ? Une analyse longitudinale à partir du modèle de Cox
Authors: Kamanzi Pierre Canisius , Bastien Nicolas , Doray Pierre , Magnan Marie-odile
Published: December 2020

Le présent article vise à analyser les cheminements scolaires de jeunes Canadiens issus de l’immigration qui font des études supérieures. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons le modèle de risque proportionnel de Cox. Les résultats obtenus à partir des données longitudinales de l’Enquête auprès des jeunes en transition (EJET) montrent que le risque d’accès aux études supérieures est plus élevé chez les étudiants issus de l’immigration que chez leurs pairs dont les parents sont Canadiens de naissance. La différence varie de 3 à 35 points de pourcentage parmi ceux de première génération et de 4 à 13 points de pourcentage parmi ceux de deuxième génération. Par ailleurs, il existe des différences marquées entre les différents groupes d’étudiants issus de l’immigration, en ce qui concerne l’âge d’entrée aux études supérieures, la persévérance et le type de diplôme obtenu à l’âge de 24 ans. Bien que cette différence diminue relativement lorsqu’on tient compte des ressources des parents et des variables associées à l’expérience scolaire de l’élève au secondaire, elle demeure statistiquement significative.
The Importance of University Students’ Perceived Ability to Balance Multiple Roles: A Comparison of Students with and without Disabilities
Authors: Reed Maureen J. , Kennett Deborah J
Published: December 2020

Canadian students have academic and non-academic obligations, and their ability to balance them may impact university experience. Involvement in academic and non-academic activities, and the perception of balancing them was compared between students with and without disabilities. Results revealed that both groups of students participated in employment, social activities, and family obligations. Furthermore, perceived ability to balance academic and non-academic activities was associated with higher academic self-efficacy and resourcefulness in all students. Relative to non-disabled peers, students with disabilities spent fewer hours participating in non-academic activities, had fewer course hours, but studied as many hours. Students with disabilities who had difficulties balancing their multiple roles were less adapted to university. The time to access accommodations for learning may act as a barrier to adaptation. Creating university policies around accommodations for learning would benefit students with disabilities, and the incorporation of resourcefulness and time-management into university curriculum would benefit all students.

Published: December 2020

El objetivo del artículo ha sido determinar si la Ley de Wagner se cumple en el Perú durante el periodo 1980-2018. La Ley de Wagner propone que el crecimiento del Gasto Público se explica por el crecimiento del PBI. En la medida que existen distintas formas funcionales para estimar dicha relación, hemos tomados las tres primeras versiones de las seis que sintetiza Jaén (2014) para la economía española y las hemos estimado para el caso peruano. La primera versión que propone que el Gasto Público es una función del PBI; la segunda versión que propone que el Consumo Público es una función del PBI y la tercera que propone que el Gasto Público es una función del PBI per cápita. En ese sentido, hemos tomado datos reales sobre dichas variables publicados en la web del Banco Central de Reserva del Perú, se ha analizado su evolución y hemos estimado las tres formas funcionales propuestas. Las estimaciones prueban que, en las tres versiones analizadas, se cumple la Ley de Wagner en el Perú para el periodo 1980-2018

El presente artículo discute y utiliza un diseño experimental que aplica SPPS en una regresión lineal en la que la competitividad representa la variable dependiente  y la tecnología, la comercialización y las exportaciones son las variables independientes. El diseño experimental consiste en analizar las variables que se ejecutan a través de una "Godness of Fitness", entre sí y en comparación con la variable dependiente. Por lo tanto, el modelo permite analizar los niveles de correlación de cada variable ajustada a Godness of Fitness.

Este artículo emerge de la investigación de carácter exploratorio realizada a partir de enero de 2017 a 2019  en  la  región  del  Totonacapan,  denominada  “Producir,  reproducir  y  resignificar  las  artes regionales. Para no quedarse sólo con la dimensión espectacular y turística fue necesario articular diversos saberes interdisciplinarios que giran alrededor del patrimonio cultural, el arte indígena y la perspectiva de género; de tal forma que permitió una comunicación intercultural con los autores de las danzas del Totonacapan.
A construção da identidade profissional do professor cooperante de Educação Física [The construction of the Physical Education cooperating teacher’s professional identity]
Authors: Cunha Mariana , Batista Paula , Graça Amândio
Published: December 2020

This research focuses on the construction of the supervising teaching practice professional identity of the cooperating teacher. To this end, it explored the discourses on the teaching practices and teacher education experiences; the legitimate participation in teacher education and working spaces; and the teaching perspectives that substantiate the pedagogical relationships and learning trajectories in the context of professional practice. A case study was conducted to examine the narratives of cooperating teachers, an experienced and a beginner on the supervisory roles and tasks of the pedagogical practice of Physical Education pre-service teachers during an academic year. Data were gathered through interviews. The qualitative inductive thematic analysis was informed by grounded theory coding procedures. Themes included: i) challenges in interacting with the pre- service teachers; and ii) challenges in the (re)configuration of the supervisory practices. The reconstruction of the cooperating teacher’s professional identity happens in the doing of their roles, the confrontation with the challenges encountered, the negotiation of interactions with the pre-service teachers, and the implementation of teaching perspectives that inform their practices and pedagogical supervision relations.
Estágio Supervisionado em Educação Física na Educação Infantil e no Ensino Fundamental: Narrativas (Auto)Formativas [Supervised Practicum in Physical Education in Early Childhood and Elementary Education: (Auto)Biographical Narratives]
Authors: de Souza Luana Nunes , Barros Priscila , Venâncio Luciana , Sanches-Neto Luiz
Published: December 2020

The objective of this article is to describe educational practices between students in teacher education and professors as practicum supervisors. The study is methodologically based on (auto)biographical narratives from the practicums at a military school and a municipal school in Fortaleza, in northeastern Brazil. The participants are two physical education undergraduates at the Federal University of Ceará – who followed through classes in early childhood and elementary education – and two university professors as practicum supervisors. The content analysis of themes from the narratives was dialogical, using a virtual learning environment. The narratives were compiled from field records, shared readings and nine meetings during one semester. The mediation of reflections took place weekly through the Google Docs platform. The results pointed out some problems and challenges, such as the context, structure and accessibility of each school, preparation of classes, school teachers’ educational practices, as well as the specificity of physical education. We consider that educational practices between the students and supervisors were close to the positions taken by one teacher; however, there was a distance from the dispositions of other teachers at both schools. We conclude that narratives situated ways of coping with adversity, contributing to the students’ process of self-study.

The suspension of all in-person teaching activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a reconfiguration of face-to-face teaching for distance learning. A qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study was carried out with the purpose of examining the perceptions of students interns about the formative and pedagogical processes experienced in the context of Covid-19 confinement. Data were obtained through the analysis of the Final Reports of Supervised Teaching Practice developed by twenty-seven trainee students of the second cycle of studies in Physical Education Teaching in Basic and Secondary Education of the University Institute of Maia (ISMAI), in the academic year 2019/2020. The qualitative analysis of the data used thematic analysis strategies and codification procedures of the grounded theory. The following themes emerged: (i) Context with profound changes in the organization and management of schools, both in teaching and learning; (ii) Planning and Implementation using innovative teaching and evaluation methodologies, supported by new technologies; (iii) Evaluation with different strategies and focus on the students motivation for the discipline and (iv) Reflection, which evidences a feeling of challenges successfully overcome and (dis)virtualization of the figure of the teacher in the educational process.
Personalised Web search and user satisfaction: a user-centred evaluation.
Authors:   Ernst Young, Australia, Salehi Sarah , DU Jia ,   University of South Australia, Ashman Helen ,   University of South Australia
Published: December 2020

Introduction. Most university students depend significantly, sometimes exclusively, on the Google search engine for their academic information needs. User satisfaction leads to users’ deeper engagement with an information system that is shown to improve learning in an educational setting. This paper evaluates students’ satisfaction with results from personalised Web search against non-personalised Web search. Method. During semi-structured study sessions, twenty-eight participants (university students) were required to complete a series of search tasks using both personalised and non-personalised Web search. Analysis. Evaluation was based on participants’ explicit feedback as well as their implicit behaviour including search time, number of queries and clicked result links per task, finding the answer and relevance of the search results. Results. There was no apparent significant increase in the participants’ overall level of satisfaction with personalised search results compared to non-personalised results. However, it was found that personalised search reduced the time spent to finish a task and reduced the number of clicks required to arrive at the selected outcome. Conclusions. Personalisation of search results does not increase students' satisfaction with their search results. However, it does reduce the time spent by students in locating information they judged to be satisfactory answers to their questions.
Shadow bodies and information sharing: analysing obstacles in mental health care provision

Published: December 2020

Introduction. In the context of mental health, obtaining adequate care requires accurate information sharing across diverse actors, institutions and technologies. Yet, information sharing is often complicated by the vast range of institutional structures involved, creating multiple constraints for both providers and care-seekers. Method. This study seeks to analyse these obstacles to information sharing through an exploration of provider experiences within a local mental health care system. We conducted sixteen semi-structured interviews with mental health care providers in Philadelphia, USA in order to provide a localized portrait of obstacles to information sharing related to mental health care. Analysis. Conceptually, we expand on Balka and Star’s (2016) framework of individuals’ shadow bodies to understand how information is shared and fractured within the scope of mental health. Results. We outline three dimensions of (or obstacles to) information sharing: physical spaces, inter-institutional referrals, and the influence of external institutions. Together, these factors decontextualise and scatter information in a way that complicates the provision and quality of care. Conclusion. Our paper concludes with a discussion of how our findings can inform information science theory, the design of health data systems and policy related to personal health information.
