…working with (a) rhizoanalysis…and…working (with) a rhizoanalysis…
Authors: Sellers Marg
Published: December 2018

In this conversation rhizoanalysis is introduced as a way of processing through an assemblage involving research methodology, generation of data and analytical possibilities entwined within. As a research methodology, rhizomethodology (Author, 2009) is a way of putting the Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophical imaginary of rhizome (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987) to work; it is a way of working (with) data, complexly. With/in/alongside this methodological approach, the rhizoanalysis becomes the inquiry of the research, happening throughout the whole research process. The analysis is not a constant thing relegated to a place of its own, rather, the rhizoanalysis as ‘some of rhizome’ (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987, p. 9) happens throughout. With/in/through processes of thinking rhizome in flux, working rhizome (im)provis(at)ionally is an ongoing experiment with and exploration of my own thinking. Rhizoanalysis (dis)continuously (e)merges with/in/through every dimension of the thinking, ebbing and flowing with/in/through matters of always already becoming so that writing (about) rhizoanalysis is also affected by writing (the) methodology and doing (the) rhizoanalysis; nothing was/is separate or linear in the thinking or writing up~down of the research project drawn on here. Rather, there was/is an ongoing intermingling of data, methodology and analysis with theorising the literature and practicing the theory, each becoming the other(s).
Navigating the Turbulent Waters of School Reform Guided by Complexity Theory
Authors: White David G. , Levin James A.
Published: December 2018

The goal of this research study has been to develop, implement, and evaluate a school reform design experiment at a continuation high school with low-income, low-performing underrepresented minority students. The complexity sciences served as a theoretical framework for this design experiment. Treating an innovative college preparatory program as a nested complex adaptive system within a larger complex adaptive system, the school, we used features of complex adaptive systems (equilibrium, emergence, self-organization, and feedback loops) as a framework to design a strategy for school reform. The goal was to create an environment for change by pulling the school far from equilibrium using a strategy we call “purposeful perturbations” to disrupt the stable state of the school in a purposeful way. Over the four years of the study, several tipping points were reached, and we developed agent-based simulation models that capture important dynamic properties of the reform at these points. The study draws upon complexity theory in multiple ways that have supported improved education for low-achieving students.
Complexity Theory in the Mathematics Lab-Classroom
Authors: Sinclair Margaret
Published: December 2018

The main thesis of a recent article by Davis and Simmt (2003) is that “mathematics classes are adaptive and self-organizing complex systems”. This thesis is intriguing. It helps explain a phenomenon teachers often witness—the spontaneous emergence of a special learning community in a particular class. And it raises the question—if this thesis applies to all mathematics classes how do the additional elements of a computer lab environment affect the evolution of the “learning system”? In this article three technology experiences have been analyzed in light of the thesis, to determine how software, organization, and task impact the blossoming of a complex learning system in the lab-classroom.
Complexity, Teacher Education and the Restless Jury: Pedagogical Moments of Performance
Authors: Fels Lynn
Published: December 2018

This article explores the generative relationship between complexity, performance, and teacher education. In a moment of crisis, a drama educator comes to recognize the potential of role drama as a teaching strategy to introduce student teachers to the complexity of teaching and learning with students. With the assistance of cantankerous judge and a restless jury, the author illustrates how exploratory spaces of performance bring participants to the “edge of chaos” where new learning and insights emerge. The use of role drama as a strategy in teacher education creates valuable learning opportunities for student teachers that encourage mindful awareness and reflective practices.
The Potential of Reflective Journals in Studying Complexity 'In Action'
Authors: Phelps Renata
Published: December 2018

As educators embrace theories of complexity to inform their teaching and research practice, theoretically relevant methods will be required to appropriately conduct and study complexity-based approaches to education. Action research has been identified as offering significant potential for studying complexity, acting as a form of ‘real life modeling’ for learning and teaching. In this paper it is argued that reflection, a key aspect of action research, can be a productive method for both studying and working with complexity in educational contexts. Reflective journals, more specifically, provide scope not only for gathering research data but also for promoting learning and change. As a teaching approach, reflective journals can reduce the impact of external control while providing opportunities to promote and document instability and disequilibrium. Reflective journals allow for documentation of emergence and bifurcation and embrace participants’ involvement in interpretation of data in inherently non-linear ways. Reflective journals assist to build up an holistic picture of the interplay between individuals’ histories and their current and emergent ‘state’, thus providing insight into ‘sensitivity to initial conditions’. This paper illustrates these theoretical ideas through a case study derived from a course in information and communication technology (ICT) for practicing teachers.

Ecological Systems and Complexity Theory: Toward an Alternative Model of Accountability in Education
Authors: Johnson Eileen S.
Published: December 2018

The call for accountability within education has led to the increased examination of the academic achievement of students across the nation. Too often, however, schools and school districts are scrutinized by means of overly simplistic linear models that fail to consider the complexity of interactions that result in student achievement. This paper postulates that student achievement is instead best understood as a developmental outcome that emerges as a result of interactions among layers within a complex system. Organizations such as schools can be modeled using Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems and analyzed using complexity theory as an appropriate and useful alternative to the linear models that often form the basis of educational research and policy. Key elements of both Bronfenbrenner’s ecological-contextual theory and complexity are explained and applied at the level of an individual school.
Evoking Desire…and Irreverence: A Collection of Women Writing Women
Authors: Collective Women Writing Women
Published: December 2018

We draw from the diverse life experiences of women who have supported their academic and life journeys through membership in the Women Writing Women (WWW) collective. We come from diverse backgrounds in curriculum, new media studies, drama, english, art, science, creative writing, elementary, secondary, higher and adult education, and bring these multiple perspectives to our monthly dialogues. We explore how writing can evoke desire, longing, fear, reverence, irreverence, joy and awe rather than merely represent. The community offers an emergent space for these deeply personal, yet public explorations into meaning‐making. We share personal stories, perform writing, dialogue on the evolution of this collective, and co‐create with the audience gathered.

Throughout the four years of conforming, unforming, reforming and transforming within this collective, we have come to understand that the simple and seemingly isolated act of personal and academic writing is a complex social reality. We articulate singularities in our writings and discussions as we simultaneously discover overlapping links within personal and collective metaphors. The paper opens a much‐needed dialogue on the complexity of transformational learning communities, particularly within academia. We hope to evoke dialogue and inspire among our readership to also create writing collectives as a form of ‘joyful revolt’ against isolating hegemonics, opening up a new space to explore collectivity and emergent possibility.

The Complexities of Interdisciplinarity: Integrating Two Different Perspectives on Interdisciplinary Research and Education
Authors: McMurtry Angus
Published: December 2018

The aim of this article is to open a conversation between the complexity & education community and the field of interdisciplinarity (as well as its close relative, interprofessionalism). It starts by describing two very different streams of thought in the literature on interdisciplinary research and education: One that focuses on the socio-cultural dynamics among disciplinary ‘knowers’ and one that emphasizes the complexity of the phenomena studied by these disciplinary knowers. Next, the author argues that recent epistemological thinking associated with the complexity & education community can help to integrate these streams of thought—offering a way for interdisciplinary inquiry to respect both the complexity of knowers and the complexity of the known.

Adaptive Reuse of Sport Stadiums and Collective Memories: Rexall Place as a Site for the Continuation of the Oilers Dynasty and Civic Pride
Authors: Submissions SUSA , Skillings Alec
Published: December 2018

Sports stadiums work to shape the identity of cities and reflect their cultural attitudes. From the Luzhniki Sports Complex’s material representation of Soviet Russia’s political leanings and ideologies to the Houston Astrodome’s display of technological advancement, stadia architecture has strong connections to regional zeitgeists. In this paper, I explain the importance of stadia architecture and how it is embedded in the collective memories of sports fans and citizens. As well, I explain how stadia architecture carries political and social consequences. Adaptive reuse or demolition of abandoned stadia also carries social and political consequences as stadia have the ability to embody the social history and civic imagination of their cities. I then present the case of Edmonton's Rexall Place arena, and provide an account of why it is important to repurpose the structure as a place for hockey. Ultimately Edmonton's collective memories and identity are held within the cement walls of Rexall Place, and the demolition of the structure would be detrimental to the hockey-centric civic identity and history.
The Overrepresentation of Aboriginal Women in Prisons: A Cycle of Victimization, Discrimination and Incarceration
Authors: Submissions SUSA , Holmes Alysa
Published: December 2018

This paper examines the contemporary issue of the overrepresentation of Aboriginal women in Canadian prisons and suggests that the systemic discrimination and myriad disadvantages that these women face, both within the context of the justice system and in society in general, results in an ongoing cycle of victimization and offending. Specifically, this paper addresses the historical and contemporary forms of violence and victimization that these women face, and examines the impact that this victimization has on offending behaviors. Finally, through an exploration of policing practices, and the complex issue of sentencing Aboriginal offenders, this paper concludes that Aboriginal women are severely disadvantaged at all stages of the criminal justice system, largely as a result of pervasive cultural stereotypes, resulting in worse outcomes for these offenders, and ultimately contributing to the issue of overrepresentation.
"Freshest advices"?: the currency of London news in Dublin City newspapers, 1790 - 1801
Authors: McDonald Sarah Catherine
Published: December 2018

This paper summarises a MLIS dissertation which studied the currency of news, sourced from London newspapers and re-printed in Dublin City newspapers, during the final decade of the eighteenth century. London was a vital communications network hub for the dissemination of information, consisting of British and Foreign Intelligence, to Irish port cities such as Dublin. Using the resources of recently digitised London and Dublin newspaper series, it was possible to build a model which accurately represents the transmission time for London 'News' into Dublin editorial offices. The model provides a frequency distribution from which the minimum, maximum and average transmission times are established. It is argued that the same method can reliably be applied to determine the transmission time for news from the main European cities to London and Dublin.
Methods for demonstrating the value of public libraries in the UK: a literature review
Authors: Rooney-Browne Christine
Published: December 2018

This paper summarises the findings of a report commissioned by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals' (CILIP) Library and Information Research Group (LIRG) to produce a comprehensive review of existing quantitative and qualitative evaluation methodologies for demonstrating the value of public libraries in the United Kingdom (UK).

A thorough literature review of existing research was carried out and an investigation into best practices for evaluating impact was conducted. A wide range of journals and books published within the fields of library and information science and social research have been consulted. Relevant White Papers and Reviews; such as those published by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP), the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC); the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), the Department of Culture, Sport and Media (DCMS); and the American Library Association (ALA) have been analysed. Additional online searches helped to identify models of best practice; and the most up to date methods currently in use for measuring value outside of the UK.

During the early stages of the literature review it became clear that a limited amount of research has been carried out in the UK field of public library valuation. Although academic researchers at Loughborough, Sheffield and Strathclyde University have published various journal articles and reports on this topic there is a lack of evidence that local authorities have been implementing the methodologies that the academics have recommended. Although it is possible that some local authorities may be working in isolation to implement bespoke evaluation methodologies it has been difficult to uncover examples of best practice in the UK. Therefore, as the literature review progressed the author expanded beyond the UK public library sector, and into the broader areas of economics, sociology and psychology. This enabled a more thorough understanding of the increase in evaluations, incentives, benchmarking, objective setting, accountability; and social and economic auditing.

It is anticipated that the findings of this research will help the sector to develop more appropriate models for demonstrating the value of public libraries in the 21st century.

The original report was compiled in June 2010.
Differences and Similarities in Attitudes towards Intellectual and Visual Culture within the Ukrainian-Canadian Community in Edmonton, Alberta
Authors: Lynn Susanna M.
Published: December 2018

Ukrainian-Canadians are a relatively well-established group in Canada. This paper draws on data gathered from ten interviews about ethnic identity discourses which I conducted with new and established members of the Ukrainian-Canadian community in Edmonton, Alberta. Using critical discourse analysis, I investigate the responses to nine of the original thirty-seven interview questions, which included two ranking questions; these questions inquired about participants’ opinions and evaluations of [Ukrainian] literature, language, music and important “kinds” and aspects of culture. Responses exposed some of the similarities and differences in attitudes the two groups held towards intellectual and visual culture, highlighting the evolving nature of this community, and providing detail that enhances understanding of these attitudes. I present key arguments as to why these similarities and differences may, at least in part, correlate to the unique socio-cultural environments in which each group has been developing culture since Ukraine’s Independence. In particular, I posit that “the linguistic factor” (a term I use to summarize the interconnected influence that language, literature, and linguistic ability have on each other) is one of the most salient forces in shaping and informing these similarities and differences in attitudes towards intellectual and visual culture.
Fatigue in The Aviation: An Overview of The Measurements and Countermeasures
Authors: GÖKER Zeynep
Published: December 2018

Fatigue is a crucial and cumulative factor
for aviation safety causing human errors via decrease in the abilities to conduct
tasks that require higher-order intellectual processing. Chronic form of fatigue
is more insidious and subjective. Factors causing fatigue are lack of sleep,
crew scheduling, a long duty period, Jet or shift lag, high workload, and lacking
of physical or mental fitness. There are subjective and objective measurements
to estimate fatigue levels. Subjective techniques are based on self-report of
the sleep and tiredeness whereas objective interventions are built on the basis
the physiological features of the subject (brain waves, eye gaze, facial
feature recognition) or their physical manifestations (muscle tone, wrist
inactivity, head orientation) and support to maintain alertness and performance
during long or uneventful duty period. Fatigue contermeasures are mainly based
on self-reported data and there is a need for “safety” factor for self-reports.

Miten Raja-Karjalan murre eroaa suomesta?
Authors: Palander Marjatta , Riionheimo Helka
Published: December 2018

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan kuuntelutestimenetelmää käyttäen ei-lingvistien havaintoja karjalan kielestä. Kohderyhmänä on 31 rajakarjalaistaustaista pohjoiskarjalaista, jotka edustavat karjalankielisiä siirtokarjalaisia tai heidän jälkeläisiään. He ovat syntyneet v. 1917–1969, ja heidän sukunsa ovat olleet kotoisin Ilomantsin itäkylistä, Suojärveltä, Suistamolta, Impilahdelta tai Salmista. Testissä he kuuntelivat lyhyen eteläkarjalaismurteen näytteen, josta heidän tehtävänään oli arvioida, miltä osin näytteen kieli vastasi heidän lähtöperheidensä karjalan kieltä ja miten se poikkesi Pohjois-Karjalan murteesta eli itäisistä savolaismurteista.

                      Kuuntelutesti osoittautui monelle osallistujalle vaikeaksi: 31:stä kahdeksan ei eritellyt näytteestä yhtään kielenpiirrettä. Silti ero Pohjois-Karjalan nykymurteeseen yleensä tunnistettiin ja näytettä kuvailtiin yleisluonteisesti. Eniten huomiota kiinnitettiin fonologisiin piirteisiin, kaikkein yleisimmin affrikaattaan (iče ’itse’). Myös jälkitavujen h (järkieh ’heti’), astevaihtelusuhde st : ss (muišša ’muista’) ja ensi tavun aa:n tai ää:n diftongiutuminen (hoaššettih, piässä) kuuluivat piirteisiin, joita jäljiteltiin tai kuvailtiin yleisimmin. Morfologisiin, sanastollisiin ja syntaktisiin piirteisiin huomio kiintyi harvemmin, mutta eräillä oli tarkkoja havaintoja mm. suomesta poikkeavasta sanajärjestyksestä.

                      Testiin osallistujat hahmottivat kuulemiaan karjalan piirteitä eri tavoin. Näytteessä esiintyviä muotoja saatettiin tuottaa Pohjois-Karjalan murteen mukaisina, hyperdialektaalisina tai yleiskielisinä, mikä kertoo siitä, että karjala ei enää ole äidinkieli tai aktiivisesti käytössä. Runsas puolet osallistujista toisti kuitenkin ainakin osan muodoista sellaisina, kuin karjalainen puhuja ne tuotti. Noin kolmasosa mainitsi muotoja, joita näyte ei sisältänyt.

                      Nuorimmat, 1950–1960-luvuilla syntyneet, poimivat karjalaispiirteitä eniten, mutta vanhemmille näyte saattoi palauttaa mieleen karjalankielisiä ilmauksia ja fraaseja, ja heidän karjalan kielen taitonsa näytti aktivoituvan rajakarjalaismurteen kuulemisesta. Verrattaessa kuuntelutestin tuloksia saman testiryhmän karjala-imitaatioihin on nähtävissä, että ryhmän vanhimmat jäsenet eivät välttämättä eritelleet näytteen kielenpiirteitä mutta he tuottivat pitkiäkin imitaatioita. Testin perusteella voidaan varovasti olettaa, että karjalan kieli on jokseenkin tuttua vielä siirtolaisten lasten ja lastenlastenkin keskuudessa ja sen taitaminen olisi aktivoitavissa, mikäli tilaisuuksia kuulla ja puhua karjalaa olisi enemmän.

Microballoons: A better approach for gastro retention
Authors: Negia Rakhi , Goswamia Laxmi , Kothiyal Preeti
Published: December 2018

The purpose of this review is to accumulate the recent study on floating drug delivery system with special emphasis on microballoons as drug delivery. Microballoons are emerging as the most promising drug delivery as it overcome many limitations of conventional drug delivery system. As microballoons delivery system provides longer retention in gastric pH, hence longer is the residence time and therefore enhance the solubility of drugs that are less soluble in high pH environment. The formation of cavity inside the microsphere depends upon the preparation temperature and the surface smoothness determines the floatability and the drug release rate of the microballoons. The review includes the classification, advantages, disadvantages, method of preparation and future aspects of microballoons. Basic anatomy and physiology of stomach is also studied.
Microbial polyhydroxybutyrate production by using cheap raw materials as substrates
Authors: Mahitha G. , Madhuri R. Jaya
Published: December 2018

Bioplastic, Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is well known for it’s environmental friendliness and complete decomposition into water and carbon dioxide by microorganisms. The main drawback of PHB commercialization is it’s high production cost which is 10 times higher than that of synthetic plastic. So, the present research work mainly focussed on the fermentative production of PHB by Bacillus amyloliquifaciens and Nocardiopsis potens using low cost raw materials like Molasses, wheat bran, rice bran, ragi bran, jambul seed powder, orange peel and whey as substrates. Bacillus amyloliquifaciens and Nocardiopsis potens gives maximum PHB 16.5 µg/ ml and 26.8 µg/ ml respectively in the medium containing molasses and wheat bran as a substrates. Further the functional groups of extracted PHB were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Lavaderos de la acequia de Aynadamar y el uso público del agua
Authors: Quesada Morales Daniel Jesús
Published: December 2018

La acequia de Aynadamar actuó como agente organizativo del espacio geográfico de la zona por la que discurría. A lo largo de su trazado se conformó un nuevo paisaje histórico y su creación, supuso la aparición y el desarrollo de una cultura del agua en sus diferentes manifestaciones agrícolas, industriales y sociales. En su trayectoria, entre nacimiento y destino, se fue desarrollando un amplio abanico de aprovechamientos de los recursos hídricos consolidados mediante su dilatada historia de siglos. El uso social del agua supone una de las demandas propias de los núcleos urbanos. De este modo, el agua pasa a formar parte de la vida cotidiana, ya sea para el aprovisionamiento en el hogar o abrevaderos, así como para el abasto e higiene de pilares, fuentes y lavaderos públicos. Vinculados con la acequia de Aynadamar se ha constatado e identificado la existencia de varios lavaderos, algunos públicos y otros de titularidad privada, que desempeñaron un servicio básico para la población granadina.
Helmut Newton y el maniquí: la ambigüedad de lo artificial
Authors: García Calvente Pablo
Published: December 2018

A lo largo de su carrera, el fotógrafo Helmut Newton ha sentido fascinación por los maniquíes, debido a la capacidad de estos seres inanimados de cobrar vida en la obra fotográfica. Acorde con su propia visión filosófica y mediante calculados paralelismos, Newton ha desarrollado la idea de humanización del maniquí y cosificación del ser humano. En las páginas de la revista Vogue o en sus propios catálogos, el fotógrafo alemán mostrará maniquíes de escaparate luciendo ropa de grandes modistos en escenarios casi imposibles o en poses deliberadamente sexualizadas, dando el protagonismo a los maniquíes hiperrrealistas de las firmas Rootstein y Hindsgaul, que bajo el encuandre del artista, traspasan el límite de su verdadera función, poniendo, en cambio, de manifiesto su carácter subversivo.
La transformación del mundo agrario en un territorio turístico de montaña. Las comarcas de Alta Ribagorça, Aran y Pallars Sobirà
Authors: Armesto López Xosé Antón , Gómez Martín María Belén , Cors Iglesias Martí
Published: December 2018

En el Pirineo catalán, partiendo de una economía tradicional de base ganadera y forestal, el territorio se ha especializado desde la perspectiva económica en el sector terciario; hecho que también ha supuesto importantes cambios demográficos y sociales. En este territorio de montaña, el turismo -y en especial el turismo ligado a la nieve- ha sido uno de los principales motores de cambio y transformación territorial. Este artículo muestra la evolución del sector primario de los municipios de tres comarcas catalanas de montaña (Vall d’Aran, Pallars Sobirà y Alta Ribagorça) en las que el turismo de nieve ha tenido y tiene una importancia considerable. Para acometer este fin, y a partir de la consulta fundamentalmente del Censo Agrario, se han elegido algunos indicadores que han permitido observar las transformaciones en las actividades primarias de los 27 municipios considerados. Además, se ha analizado la evolución del sector bajo la perspectiva de la transición postproductivista. Los resultados indican que el área de estudio tiene una dinámica regresiva del sector primario en general parecida al resto del mundo rural catalán, aunque la existencia de un sector turístico muy desarrollado dota a este territorio de algunas sinergias de distinta índole entre ambos sectores.
Sobre ideas y acciones políticas: una relación tempestuosa
Authors: Jiménez-Díaz José Francisco
Published: December 2018

La Teoría Política puede concebirse como una herramienta práctica para la reflexión pública que contribuya a que los agentes e instituciones políticas sean conscientes de las tensiones y conflictos en su quehacer diario. Esta concepción práctica de la Teoría Política ha sido descuidada frecuentemente por la Academia al centrarse ésta en las teorizaciones abstractas. El propósito del presente ensayo es aclarar en qué sentido o sentidos puede ser problemática la relación entre ideas y acciones políticas. Los argumentos son ilustrados con dos miradas paradigmáticas sobre la política que vislumbran las relaciones problemáticas entre ideas y acciones políticas: la ética política propuesta por Max Weber y las dos ideas de libertad definidas por Isaiah Berlin. El escrito concluye reflexionando sobre dichas relaciones a la luz de otras aportaciones similares y, a su vez, se muestran futuras líneas de investigación.
Autoevaluación y autocalificación en el Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte: Estudio censal de las guías docentes
Authors: Fraile Juan , Pardo Rodrigo , Panadero Ernesto
Published: December 2018

Resumen:El Proceso de Bolonia concibe la evaluación como parte del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, denominándose ‘evaluación formativa’, pudiendo ser la autoevaluación una parte esencial del mismo. Esta se entiende como dos acciones: metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje; o autocalificación, evaluándose cuantitativamente con repercusión en la nota final. Se analizaron 1.761 guías docentes de las asignaturas de 40 universidades españolas que imparten presencialmente el Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte, siendo un estudio con el 100 % de la población. Los resultados mostraron que el 7,55 % de las asignaturas emplea la autoevaluación como metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje; el 9,43 % como autocalificación y el 1,65 % emplea ambas; encontrando diferencias significativas en función de la titularidad, la universidad, la comunidad autónoma y el número de créditos. Estos resultados son muy inferiores comparados con un estudio con datos autorreportados por docentes (Panadero, Brown, y Courtney, 2014), declarando el 89,7 % emplear la autoevaluación y el 66,2 % la autocalificación. Esta investigación constituye su relevancia al aportar una completa visión sobre la implementación de la autoevaluación y la autocalificación en el grado de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte en España. Abstract:The Bologna Process understands assessment as a part of the teaching and learning process. It is so-called formative assessment, being self-assessment an essential part of it. Self-assessment can be conceived having two potential actions. First, as a teaching and learning method, being its purpose to teach students how to assess their own work. Second, as self-grading, in order to grade their own achievement with direct impact in their final mark of the course. This study aims to explore the use of self-assessment and self-grading processes in the Degree in Sport Science. 1,761 teaching guides from the syllabus of the 40 Spanish university faculties with attendance studies were analyzed. Thus, this is a population-based study. Results showed that self-assessment is presumably used in 14.99% of subjects: 7.55% with formative purposes, 9.43% as self-grading and 1.65% employ both. Significant differences were found for ownership, university, region and number of credits. Increased use in some regions and universities shows the territorial influence and the existence of teachers´ communities of practice. These results are far lower compared both to another similar research based on self-reported data collected by surveys (Panadero, Brown, & Courtney, 2014), in which 89.7% of teachers reported they use self-assessment and 66.2% self-grading.

La voz del futuro profesorado de Educación Primaria sobre sus experiencias previas en Educación Física: De los contextos de participación a los de exclusión
Authors: Prat Grau María , Camacho-Miñano María José
Published: December 2018

Resumen:Este trabajo se centra en analizar las experiencias previas del futuro profesorado generalista de Educación Primaria (EP) en la asignatura de Educación Física (EF) cursada a lo largo de su escolarización obligatoria. Su interés radica en que dichas experiencias constituyen el lente o filtro a través del cual los estudiantes dan sentido a su aprendizaje universitario, por lo que es preciso darles voz para ayudarles a reflexionar y repensar sobre estas prácticas pedagógicas con el objetivo de transformarlas. El estudio se ha realizado a partir del análisis de contenido cualitativo de las narrativas de 155 estudiantes que cursaban la asignatura troncal de EF y su Didáctica en el Grado de Maestro de EP de dos universidades españolas. Los principales hallazgos del estudio ponen de manifiesto que existe una evolución negativa en las experiencias previas en EF, ya que en Primaria son visibles contextos en los que predominan experiencias de carácter placentero, lúdico y participativo, mientras que en Educación Secundaria prevalecen los deportes de equipo, la formación selectiva de equipos, la carga de competitividad y los test de rendimiento, generándose contextos de exclusión y de rechazo de la asignatura. Abstract:This paper is focused on the analysis of the previous experience of future generalist Primary Education teachers in the Physical Education (PE) subject coursed throughout their compulsory schooling. Its interest is that these experiences are the lens or filter through which students make sense of their university learning, so it is necessary to give them a voice in order to help them in the reflecting and rethinking process about these pedagogical practices as a way to transform them. The study was conducted from a qualitative content analysis of the narratives of 155 students who were studying the core subject of Teaching PE in the Degree of Primary Education in two Spanish universities. The main study findings show that there is a negative evolution in the previous PE experiences, since in Primary Education are visible contexts in which pleasurable, playful and participatory experiences predominate, while in Secondary Education prevail team sports as well as the selective formation of teams, the competitiveness and the performance test, therefore generating contexts of exclusion and rejection of the subject.
Hacia una reconstrucción de las paces creativas para la ciudadanía global
Authors: París Albert Sonia
Published: December 2018

A través de un recorrido por algunas de las características de la creatividad, este texto propone la reconstrucción de lo que viene a denominar como paces creativas para la ciudadanía global. Así, entendiendo la creatividad desde una perspectiva relacional e intersubjetiva, pone el énfasis en una metodología que pretende poner en conexión a la creatividad con la paz. Para ello, llega a la conclusión de que el fluir del actuar creativo requiere grandes dosis de motivación intrínseca, así como la recuperación de nuestras capacidades para hacernos las paces, las cuales identifica como el elemento de las paces creativas. De esta manera y haciendo hincapié en el papel de la educación formal, estas páginas hallan que las paces creativas son aquellas que priorizan la puesta en práctica de la creatividad en la construcción de la paz y en la transformación de los conflictos por medios pacíficos, tras definirlas como plurales, performativas y comunicativas.
El doblaje y la traducción literaria de El Capitán Alatriste en italiano: la variación diacrónica
Authors: Zamora Muñoz Pablo
Published: December 2018

Las marcas diacrónicas pueden suponer un obstáculo para la comprensión por parte del lector o del espectador tanto del texto fuente como del texto meta debido al alejamiento cronológico lingüístico y cultural existente. El traductor, cuando debe traducir textos distantes espacial y temporalmente, se enfrenta al dilema de modernizar o arcaizar la versión meta. En el presente artículo se compara, en primer lugar, el número de rasgos temporales presentes en la novela El capitán Alatriste y en su adaptación cinematográfica; posteriormente, se analiza las pautas de traducción seguidas en sendas versiones meta en italiano. La finalidad última del estudio es corroborar, por una parte, si en la obra literaria original se registra un mayor número de ocurrencias de marcas diacrónicas que en el filme de producción propia; por otra, si los textos meta resultan menos arcaizantes que los productos originales y en cuál de las versiones de llegada se ha tendido a una mayor estandarización lingüística. Asimismo, es nuestro propósito exponer las posibles causas y factores que han condicionado la escritura de la obra literaria, la elaboración del guión, la traducción de la novela y el doblaje del filme.
Percepción de referentes culturales audiovisuales por parte de una audiencia normovidente
Authors: Sanz-Moreno Raquel
Published: December 2018

El presente trabajo deriva de un estudio descriptivo previo sobre 119 referentes culturales identificados en películas comercializadas en España con audiodescripción (AD). Partiendo de que el objetivo de la AD es que el espectador ciego o con baja visión perciba de la forma más parecida a como ve una persona normovidente (AENOR 2005), nuestra finalidad era determinar cómo describe un espectador normovidente medio lo que ve en pantalla, para comparar esa percepción con la AD ofrecida al espectador ciego. Para ello, se diseñó un cuestionario en línea compuesto por 54 preguntas sobre 20 referentes culturales audiovisuales. El análisis de las respuestas de los 200 participantes prueba que la AD española ofrece más información de la que dispone un espectador normovidente medio que, o bien no percibe determinados detalles, o bien carece de una comprensión detallada del referente en cuestión. Se observa que a mayor grado de familiaridad del referente cultural, mayor grado de comprensión y, por tanto, menor necesidad de intervención del descriptor.
La direccionalidad en traducción: Aspectos cualitativos de la traducción directa e inversa entre el checo e inglés
Authors: Obdržálková Vanda
Published: December 2018

El artículo presenta los resultados de un experimento traductológico llevado a cabo para investigar el fenómeno de direccionalidad en traducción entre el checo e inglés. Se analizó un total de 80 traducciones (de dos tipos de texto – publicitario y jurídico, producidas por dos grupos de traductores – profesionales y estudiantes, en las dos direcciones) para describir distintos aspectos asociados con la calidad de la traducción directa e inversa. Los resultados indican que la calidad de la traducción directa es, por lo general, superior a la calidad de la traducción inversa. Los textos jurídicos parecen más compatibles con la traducción inversa que los textos publicitarios. Solo en la traducción directa se ha observado un efecto positivo de la experiencia previa del traductor. Los datos sobre tipos de errores confirman la hipótesis de que la traducción inversa presenta más problemas de comprensión, mientras que los errores estilísticos son la categoría más frecuente en ambas direcciones y ambos tipos de texto.

RELATIVE ADJECTIVES REPLENISHMENT IN THE TATAR LANGUAGE: NEW UNITS WITH THE AFFIX -ЧЫЛ/-ЧЕЛ
Authors: Galieva Al’fiya Makarimovna
Published: December 2018

Language contacts are an important cause of lexical changes, and in some cases, regular borrowing processes have a significant impact on the typological characteristics of a language. Numerous direct borrowings of relative adjectives from the Eastern and European languages or various methods of their calquing conditioned the formation of the lexico-grammatical class of relative adjectives in the Turkic languages. According to corpus data, in the modern Tatar language there are many relative adjectives not recorded in dictionaries, formed according to different word-formation models. The article describes the permanent process of the replenishment of the class of relative adjectives by the material of new units with the affix -чыл/-чел . The semantics and frequency of using such units are studied basing on the data of the Tatar national corpus “ Туган тел ”.
PRAGMATICS OF APHORISM IN COORDINATES OF FICTION TEXT PRECEDENCE
Authors: Goryacheva Elena Dmitrievna
Published: December 2018

Published: December 2018

The article describes the basic types, means and models of adjective composition in the sphere of the modern English customs terminology. The paper focuses on the principles for differentiating between a compound and a word combination and identifies the mechanisms of the basic word formation processes. The authors conclude that in the analysed terminological system the hyphenated spelling of adjectives prevails along with the model N + Part II , which allows tracing a possible tendency in customs terminology formation. The basic types of stem composition are represented by the terms consisting of simple stems and complex-derivative terms.
