The Impacts of English on Taiwan’s Elementary Curriculum: Homeroom Teachers’ Perspectives
Creators: name: Ke, I-Chung
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2015

description: Increasingly non-English speaking countries start to mandate English as a compulsory subject starting from the elementary level. Since elementary education with its focus on character development is mostly based on homeroom teaching, consequently homeroom teachers could play a critical role in English education at the elementary level. This study investigates the impacts and possible implications of compulsory English teaching in the elementary school from homeroom teachers’ perspective. In-depth interviews were conducted with eleven Taiwanese homeroom teachers with more than six-year homeroom teaching experience. The findings suggest that English as a powerful language has created more inequality in school as well as a dilemma within homeroom teachers’ mind and practice. Teachers were fully aware of the importance of English, thus perpetuated its role as the global language, but they seldom made any effort in assisting students’ English learning. The impact of English was more symbolic than material. Policy suggestions include adjusting the curriculum timetable to increase the periods of main subjects (national language, math, and English), transforming more homeroom teachers into qualified English teachers, and changing the discourse of English in Taiwan by advocating a post-colonial ideology that calls for awareness of the various symbolic meanings of English in Taiwan.

description: PT symmetric Aubry-Andre model describes an array of N coupled optical waveguides with position dependent gain and loss. We show that the reality of the spectrum depends sensitively on the degree of disorder for small number of lattice sites. We obtain the Hofstadter Butterfly spectrum and discuss the existence of the phase transition from extended to localized states. We show that rapidly changing periodical gain/loss materials almost conserves the total intensity.

description: This paper presents the approach adopted at ArianeGroup in the study of Solid Rocket Motors ignition. A focus is made on the necessary stages to perform a calculation of a small-scale SRM ignition. The first step consists in characterising the thermal properties of the propellant. The second addresses the determination of the ignition time for a small sample of propellant subjected to a given flux. A first validation of the numerical model is obtained with the simulation of such tests. A dedicated test was designed to measure the flame spreading over the propellant surface sample. As for the ignition time, the model successfully predicts the measured velocity. Based on two models calibrated on the moulded or machined propellant surface tests, simulations of the ignition of a small SRM are performed. The effects on the delay or evolution of the ignited surface are analysed and understanding elements are obtained on the physics involved in the ignition process. This last stage validates the overall approach and allows its use to the simulation of the ignition of full-scale SMR.

description: Leah Fowler’s (2006) seven orbitals of narrative analysis provide a safe space for containing and framing curricular stories that are difficult to tell. In this article, the narrative of a Canadian teacher in an international context is contained in the story Pedagogy. Through the story, it becomes possible to explore how moments of difficulty frame our teaching lives, and how the art of narrative reflection can move us toward possibility. Narrative is presented as an ethical methodology for provoking complicated curricular conversations about Canadian educators teaching internationally.

Fear and Cheating in Atlanta: Evidence for the Vulnerability Thesis
Creators: name: Khan, Steven K
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2014

description: In this paper I foreground the widely reported and highly visible case of cheating in Atlanta Public Schools (APS) in order to argue that the descriptions presented in the report can be taken as providing some of the missing empirical evidence for Callahan’s (1962) Vulnerability Thesis. The thesis seeks to explain why North American (US) administrators in the early 20th century gave in to demands that had little educational merit. It was Callahan’s proposal that their vulnerability to criticism and insecurity of tenure explained a significant part of the ease with which they capitulated to administrative pressure. I propose that revisiting earlier work in education and curriculum studies to provide evidence (or comment on lack of evidence) is important for the development and health of the field. Further, I suggest that, assuming that the concept of ‘vulnerability’ will be an explicit focus of work in this century, new curriculum discourses and frameworks will have to be developed in order to better study the inter-related vulnerabilities of educators as is already occurring in other fields.

Year: 2014

description: Oral history has gained significant interest in the past few decades in the social sciences and humanities, including education. Established toward the end of 1940’s, today it is undertaken by many qualitatively inclined researchers who work with human subjects. Additionally, many oral history projects are being implemented in schools, as scientists and teachers recognize the direct educational benefits of oral history. In this essay I present an oral history project, the first of its kind in Cyprus. Emphasis is placed on the performative aspects of the storytelling and the variety in the narration styles, presented through the diverse capacities of the research participants. The educative process and the notion of experience, as observed in the data, illustrate the association between oral history and curriculum studies and their potential gains and enrichment from their systematic interconnection.

description: This work presents a methodology to find manufacturing tolerances for surfaces designed for natural laminar flow to reduce friction drag. The methodology informs the tolerances based on the largest allowable waviness profile with minimum L2-norm of surface deformations that might cause early transition due to the existence of waviness on the surface. The growth of convectively unstable disturbances is computed by solving Euler, compressible boundary layer (BLE), and parabolized stability equations (PSE). The gradient of perturbation energy is found by solving the adjoint of governing equations, and manufacturing tolerances are found using gradient ascent and SLSQP optimization teclmiques.

description: Fusion cross-sections are computed for the $^{40}$Ca$+^{40}$Ca system over a wide energy range with two microscopic approaches where the only phenomenological input is the Skyrme energy density functional. The first method is based on the coupled-channels formalism, using the bare nucleus-nucleus potential calculated with the frozen Hartree-Fock technique and the deformation parameters of vibrational states computed with the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) approach. The second method is based on the density-constrained TDHF method to generate nucleus-nucleus potentials from TDHF evolution. Both approaches incorporate the effect of couplings to internal degrees of freedoms in different ways. The predictions are in relatively good agreement with experimental data.

description: The present study highlights the benefits of using vortex generators as a passive boundary layer control method to delay the flow separation. Using high fidelity CFD analysis, a parametric study regarding the optimal position of vortex generators is carried out using an in-house automation procedure. After that, relevant quantities like wall shear stress, turbulent kinetic energy, pressure coefficient distribution and oil flow visualization are analysed and corresponding conclusions are drawn. The use of turbulent and energy quantities allows to quantify the impact of the generated vortices on the boundary layer and to identify the optimal positioning of vortex generators for improved aerodynamic performance.

description: 1 D modeling were developed to predict an ignition time in a vacuum of space propulsion systems. Bipropellant liquid propulsion system with hypergolic propellant have been generally used for attitude control and orbit maneuvering of spacecrafts and satellites. In a pulse-firing mode of the space propulsion system, the prediction of the ignition time is very important to guarantee a minimum impulse bit. In this paper, ignition experiments were conducted in a vacuum to clarify the ignition process. An ignition model for ID simulation were proposed based on the ignition test results. The simulation reproduced the ignition time for the thrust level changes.

The high frequency measurement resolution that can be now achieved by comparing two CSOs permit for the first time to observe clearly the non-linearity of the resonator power sensitivity. These observations that in turn allow us to optimize the CSO operation, are well explained by the Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) saturation of the paramagnetic impurities contained in the sapphire crystal.

description: When a closed quantum system is driven periodically with period $T$, it approaches a periodic state synchronized with the drive in which any local observable measured stroboscopically approaches a steady value. For integrable systems, the resulting behaviour is captured by a periodic version of a generalized Gibbs ensemble. By contrast, here we show that for generic non-integrable interacting systems, local observables become independent of the initial state entirely. Essentially, this happens because Floquet eigenstates of the driven system at quasienergy $ω_α$ consist of a mixture of the exponentially many eigenstates of the undriven Hamiltonian which are thus drawn from the entire extensive undriven spectrum. This is a form of equilibration which depends only on the Hilbert space of the undriven system and not on any details of its Hamiltonian.
Assessment Of and For Learning in Higher Education: from the Traditional Summative Assessment to the More Emancipatory Formative and Educative Assessment

Year: 2014

description: This article examines the concepts of assessment “of” and “for” learning and their relationship with summative, formative and educative assessment. Aiming to identify the types of assessment used at the University of Porto in the last three years, during the transition period into the Bologna Process, questionnaires were employed to gather data from students and teachers. Surprisingly, comparing two programs (Integrated Master’s Programs in Engineering and Psychology), we conclude that the subject area of study does not interfere significantly with the respondents’ perceptions. SPSS was used for data analysis and, beyond other conclusions, we identified a transition phase in which different assessment methods coexist. However, summative assessment is no longer the only used or even the most commonly applied form of assessment. There is already a greater use of components of formative assessment. Nevertheless, formative and educative assessment methods with emancipatory characteristics are not yet consistently used.

Hakbeolism: A Historical and Curricular Consideration of Korean Test-Focused Education
Creators: name: Jung, Jung-Hoon
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2014

description: A study of curriculum requires consideration not only of the history of the field but also of a country’s history, and culture, since interactions among these elements may contribute to our understanding of curriculum today. Korean curriculum, for instance, while being strongly influenced by the U.S., has nevertheless retained its fundamental traditions. The strong emphasis on standardized tests in Korea today points to hakbeolism, a kind of social symbolic capital people achieve based on a shared academic background, which was established in the tenth century. The strong force for hakbeol continues to drive educational fever in the society and to degrade students’ efforts in their learning into only preparation for tests. This paper introduces the concept of hakbeolism and analyzes its historical, cultural, and political influences on Korean curriculum today. It concludes with a discussion of hakbeolism’s dire consequences from societal (also political), curricular, and personal (psychological) viewpoints.

description: CuCrO2 offers insights into the different types of spiral magnetic orderings that can form spontaneously due to frustration in triangular-lattice antiferromagnets. We explore the magnetic phase diagram up to 65 T along all the principle axes, and also use electric polarization to probe changes in the spiral order at high magnetic fields. It is known that at zero magnetic field a proper-screw spiral of the Cr S = 3/2 spins forms that in turn induces electric polarization with six possible orientations ab-plane. Applied magnetic fields in the (hard) ab-plane have been shown to induce a transition to cycloidal spiral magnetic order above 5.3 T in those domains that have spins perpendicular to the applied magnetic field. We show that the cycloidal order remains unchanged all the way up to 65 T, which is one quarter of the extrapolated saturation magnetization. On the other hand for magnetic fields along the (easy) c-axis, we observe a transition in the electric polarization near 45 T, and it is followed by a series of steps and/or oscillations in the electric polarization. The data is consistent with the a proper-screw-to-cycloidal transition that is pushed from 5.3 to 45 T by easy-axis anisotropy, and is in turn followed by stretching of the magnetic spiral through commensurate and incommensurate wave vectors. This work also highlights the ability of the magnetically-induced electric polarization to probe complex magnetic orders in regimes of phase space that are difficult to reach with neutron diffraction.
An Exploration of “Ethics” in a Post-modern, Complex, Global Society

Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2013

description: This paper is a foray, a tentative one, into the relation between moral acts and ethical principles, particularly as that relation is played out in our post-modern, complex, global society. The position taken here is that a traditional view of ethics sees an act being determined as moral (or not) according to its fit into a set of a priori principles. The alternative, post-modern view explored here is that the concept of ethics emerges from the acts themselves. The morality of these acts derives from the everyday decisions we make, decisions made with humility and uncertainty. From such decision making, the ethics that emerges is a provisional ethics. This is the nature of our being human; our decisions are never made with certainty. We are, though, responsible for the decisions we make.

description: General classical theories of material fields in an arbitrary Riemann-Cartan space are considered. For these theories, with the help of equations of balance, new non-trivially generalized, manifestly generally covariant expressions for canonical energy-momentum and spin tensors are constructed in the cases when a Lagrangian contains (a) an arbitrary set of tensorial material fields and their covariant derivatives up to the second order, as well as (b) the curvature tensor and (c) the torsion tensor with its covariant derivatives up to the second order. A non-trivial manifestly generally covariant generalization of the Belinfante symmetrization procedure, suitable for an arbitrary Riemann-Cartan space, is carried out. A covariant symmetrized energy-momentum tensor is constructed in a general form.

Currere and Critical Pedagogy: Thinking Critically about Self-Reflective Methods
Creators: name: Smith, Bryan A. B.
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2013

description: As a self-reflective method of inquiry, currere, and by extension autobiographical work, engage with the personal histories, aspirations and subjectivities of our students. Extensive academic work has gone into refocusing scholarly work to privilege the student and teacher experience in an attempt to foreground these histories and subjectivities. However, such work is subject to censure that problematizes this type of work’s utility as a method of eliciting more systemic understandings of the educative experience. In this paper, I explore the ways in which a seemingly opposed theoretical framework, critical pedagogy, might be able to offer some insights for a more attuned and structurally responsive personal reflection. Although critical pedagogy is not without fault, the cognizance of the structural and political context that it demands can help students and teachers develop insights into the ways in which the political, ideological and social world may structure our lives. Consequently, I argue that critical pedagogy (or, given the context, a different but equally critical paradigm) can help to texture autobiographical methods such as currere by invoking in students and teachers critical engagements with the contexts that shape(d) their lived experiences.

description: We study the quantum Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift and the tunneling transmission at a curved step potential by investigating the time evolution of a wave packet. An initial wave packet is expanded in terms of the eigenmodes of a circular step potential. Its time evolution is then given by the interference of their simple eigenmode oscillations. We show that the GH shift along the step boundary can be explained by the energy-dependent phase loss upon reflection, which is defined by modifying the one-dimensional (1D) effective potential derived from the 2D circular system. We also demonstrate that the tunneling transmission of the wave packet is characterized by a free-space image distant from the boundary. The tunneling transmission exhibits a rather wide angle divergence and the direction of maximum tunneling is slightly rotated from the tangent at the incident point, which is consistent with the time delay of the tunneling wave packet computed in the 1D modified effective potential.
Towards a Curriculum of Vulnerability and Blandness: Insights from Levinas and Classical Chinese Thought
Creators: name: Wu, Jinting
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2013

description: This article examines two counterintuitive notions—vulnerability and blandness—to rethink the possibility of ethics in our troubled times and the capacity of education to forge potentials and bonds in curriculum spaces. By reading Emanuel Levinas and classical Chinese thought, this article considers vulnerability and blandness not as the limits of human existence, but as the very condition of how to live as humans. In the context of Levinasian and classical Chinese thought, vulnerability and blandness are not something to dispel, but a rich link with the world and our intimate involvement with the great process of things. A curriculum of vulnerability and blandness is unthinkable within the ontological structure of western historiography and the curriculum studies canon. It opens subjectivity onto inderdependence, prevents us from slipping into particularity and partiality, and provokes a deep moral tenor both through the Levinasian “awe” with which we approach the others, and through the Taoist “blandness” with which we strive for the true flavor. Blandness and vulnerability, prompting one to perpetual and never-ending discovery, is the richest and most meditative of pedagogical modes.

description: MoS2 is one of the important members of transition metal dichalogenides which is emerging as a potential 2D atomically thin layered material for low power electronic and opto-electronic applications. However, for MoS2 a critical fundamental question of significant importance is how the surface energy and hence the wettability is altered in nanoscale -- in particular, the role of crystal quality in low dimensions. Present work reports the synthesis of large area MoS2 films on insulating substrates with different surface morphology via vapor phase deposition by varying the growth temperatures. The crystallinity of the samples is examined by transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. From contact angle measurements, it is possible to correlate the wettability with crystallinity at nanoscale. The specific surface energy for few layers thick MoS2 is estimated to be around 46.5 mJ/m2. Our results shed light on the MoS2-water interaction which is significant for developing important devices based on MoS2 coated surfaces for micro-fluidic applications.
Teachers’ viewpoints about other’s actions: Implications for multicultural education

Year: 2013

description: This study examines how teachers in different national contexts respond to the actions taken by the main characters as they are represented in two short stories and one movie that embody multicultural themes. The assumption is that the teachers’ viewpoints displayed in their responses to actions of others in the short stories and movie in this study may very well manifest in and impinge upon their teaching diverse student population and translation of multicultural curriculum. More specifically, embedded in the teachers’ responses to actions of others are their assumptions about success, failure, right, or wrong in everyday life including in multicultural curricular and education. The questions that guided this study are: How are actions of others represented in the short stories and movie understood and represented by the participating teachers? What categories are used by these teachers to represent their viewpoints? Where do these categories come from and how might they relate to relevant external forces and structures of society? What are the consequences of the teachers’ viewpoints about the actions of others represented in the short stories and movie with respect forging more productive forms of multicultural education?

Talking Back: Autoethnography and the Contact Zone
Creators: name: Beck, Kumari
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2013

description: The focus of this paper is an exploration of Pratt’s notion of the contact zone in understanding and enacting curriculum in international education. The last two decades have seen a rapid growth in the internationalization of higher education, which needs to be understood alongside the conditions of globalization and the consequential market orientation of higher education, and neo-colonial contexts of history, culture and power. In searching for conceptual lenses that advance understanding of curriculum in these conditions, I use Mary Louise Pratt’s (1992/2008) book ‘Imperial Eyes: Travel writing and transculturation’, an account of travel writing in the European colonial era. The book is an analysis of ‘centre-periphery relations and a critique of the political, cultural and economic ideologies that drove colonialism. Pratt’s framework of the contact zone and concepts such as anti-conquest are useful in identifying the pitfalls of an uncritical enactment of international education in current times, and in identifying the characteristics of the status quo of curriculum in the contact zone. I argue that Pratt’s notions of transculturation and autoethnography could decenter and disrupt the inequitable relations in the contact zone of the globalizing university by illuminating the possibilities of improvisation and appropriation as desirable outcomes. Thus, the internationalization of curriculum in the context of the globalizing campus encourages and recognizes the role of transculturation in provoking a curricular ‘talking back’.

description: This document is Deliverable 8.1 of the Co-UDlabs project, funded under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101008626. This deliverable is an output from Task 8.1.1 of Work Package 8 "Improving resilience and sustainability in urban drainage solutions". The lead beneficiary of Work Package 8 is University of A Coruña, who is also the responsible partner for this Deliverable.
The Deliverable is a report on the main activities and results obtained within Task 8.1.1. Different innovative technologies and methodologies to analyze the hydrodynamic performance of urban drainage infrastructures were developed and tested in the laboratory. Special emphasis was put on the application of new optical and laser imaging techniques as Structure from Motion (SfM), Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) or depth cameras, that are readily available within other fields but must still be adapted and tested on urban drainage infrastructures. The geometrical effects on hydraulic energy losses during sewer to surface flow interactions has also been investigated
Curriculum Discourses Within a TESOL Program for International Students: Affording Possibilities for Academic and Professional Identities

description: This article investigates the curriculum discourses circulating in a TESOL Masters Program for international students at a Canadian university. It focuses on issues around academic and professional identity constructions and language viewed through dialogical (Bakhtinian) and ecological perspectives. The article examines possibilities for agency for the students who accommodate, negotiate and resist identities, practices and program discourses inflected by broader neo-colonial and global/local tensions. The authors, two teacher educators in the program, interrogate their own practices in an attempt to denaturalize and historicize discourses available in the program and in current conditions of internationalization of higher education. The study illuminates the symbiotic relationship that develops between the discourses circulating in an educational setting and the internally persuasive discourses/identities that are available for uptake in this setting. The authors conclude that certain ideologies and discourses in the environment limit the possibilities for students to see themselves as ‘successful’ graduate students in the new for them academic context or, as they complete their degree, to imagine themselves successful within the profession. Other forces afford relations of possibility that yield positive academic and professional identity formation of these students. The curriculum of TESOL programs needs to engage head on with powerful broader discourses which impact the construction of academic and professional identities of international students in these programs in order to align TESOL programming with ethical practice.

description: Next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD predictions for the production of heavy quarks in proton-proton collisions are presented within three different approaches to quark mass, resummation and fragmentation effects. In particular, new NLO and parton shower simulations with POWHEG are performed in the ALICE kinematic regime at three different centre-of-mass energies, including scale and parton density variations, in order to establish a reliable baseline for future detailed studies of heavy-quark suppression in heavy-ion collisions. Very good agreement of POWHEG is found with FONLL, in particular for centrally produced D^0, D^+ and D^*+ mesons and electrons from charm and bottom quark decays, but also with the generally somewhat higher GM-VFNS predictions within the theoretical uncertainties. The latter are dominated by scale rather than quark mass variations. Parton density uncertainties for charm and bottom quark production are computed here with POWHEG for the first time and shown to be dominant in the forward regime, e.g. for muons coming from heavy-flavour decays. The fragmentation into D_s^+ mesons seems to require further tuning within the NLO Monte Carlo approach.

The Journal Transnational Curriculum Inquiry and the Space-Time of Cosmopolitan Hospitality and of Curriculum Field Studies’ Deconstruction
Creators: name: Carvalho, Janete Magalhães
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2013

description: The research seeks to analyze how the speech of the Transnational Curriculum Inquiry Journal (TCI) speech, published throughout 2004-2009, expressed the internationalization and transnationalization process of the curriculum field studies. As theoretical support, categories of hospitality and of deconstruction, as formulated by Derrida (2003) are used. The study problematizes, regarding the authorshipsin TCI, whether the welcoming of the foreigner (legally/politically/morally), adjusts only to those that come from countries with crescent influence in the world, as well as if unconditional hospitality was not impaired due to the small participation of Latin American authors as well as those from other African Countries in this debate.

Can an Itinerant Curriculum Theory Travel?
Creators: name: Anwaruddin, Sardar M
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2013

description: It has been a decade since the Louisiana State University Conference on the internationalization of curriculum studies. In this decade, scholars such as Pinar (2003) and Gough (2004) have taken up the idea of a worldwide field of curriculum studies. Organizations, e.g. IAACS, have been established, and journals such as Transnational Curriculum Inquiry have been launched. In spite of all these initiatives, the field is still dominated by the scholars located in the English-speaking West. Drawing on the works of Santos (2008), João Paraskeva (2011) proposes an itinerant curriculum theory which, he believes, will help to deterritorialize the field. However, I argue in this article that the itinerant curriculum theory—or any other similar proposal for internationalizing the field—needs to challenge and overcome three major obstacles, namely, linguistic imperialism, geopolitics of academic writing, and academic capitalism. Otherwise, the vision of a worldwide field of curriculum studies may remain unfulfilled.

The influence of local majority opinions on the dynamics of the Sznajd model

description: In this work we study a Sznajd-like opinion dynamics on a square lattice of linear size $L$. For this purpose, we consider that each agent has a convincing power $C$, that is a time-dependent quantity. Each high convincing power group of four agents sharing the same opinion may convince its neighbors to follow the group opinion, which induces an increase of the group's convincing power. In addition, we have considered that a group with a local majority opinion (3 up/1 down spins or 1 up/3 down spins) can persuade the agents neighboring the group with probability $p$, since the group's convincing power is high enough. The two mechanisms (convincing powers and probability $p$) lead to an increase of the competition among the opinions, which avoids dictatorship (full consensus, all spins parallel) for a wide range of model's parameters, and favors the occurrence of democratic states (partial order, the majority of spins pointing in one direction). We have found that the relaxation times of the model follow log-normal distributions, and that the average relaxation time $τ$ grows with system size as $τ\sim L^{5/2}$, independent of $p$. We also discuss the occurrence of the usual phase transition of the Sznajd model.

Curriculum, Culture and Investigation with Routine or About the Creation of Educational Policies in Schools
Creators: name: Ferraço, Carlos Eduardo
Publisher: name: TCI (Transnational Curriculum Inquiry)
Year: 2013

description: The text in question aims at problematizing the curricula carried out in the routines of six institutions of the Municipal School Network of Vitória, ES, Brazil weaved with the practical theories invented by their actors, highlighting the relationships they made between curriculum and culture. This is about the unfolding of our investigations that aim at understanding the different meanings negotiated by teachers and students concerning curricular processes going on in our schools. At the same time, these studies rely on a theoretical-methodological-epistemological perspective that can question and understand the multiple space and time determinations of the curriculum, and thus contribute to broadening the possibilities of these actors’ knowledge, action, and power. The present emphasis on the discussions about the relationships between curriculum and culture derives from our own condition of researchers of school routines, which allowed us to realize that even when engaged in projects intended for combating a number of cultural discrimination processes at the institutions, teachers and students carry on producing new forms of exclusion. At the same time, under anonymousness, they develop survival tactics inspired by micro resistance that are the basis for micro freedom. Thus, in our study, understanding the networks weaved between culture and curriculum does not mean to analyze how actors follow current curricular prescriptions and teaching projects that are based on cultural aspects deriving from these prescriptions. It does not mean to make classroom procedure propositions either, but it aims at questioning the practical-theories devised by these actors while weaving their own networks.
