The Pervading Influence of Cultural BorderCrossing and Collateral Learning on theLearner of Science and Mathematics
Creators: name: Ezeife, Anthony N.
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: Declining enrollment in mathematics, science, and related fields has plagued schoolsall over the globe fo r a long time. In recent years, the flight from science andmathematics has more or less turned into an exodus. Hardest hit are schools indeveloping nations o f the world and in cultures different from the Euro-American(Western) culture. Although many students from Western cultural backgrounds alsoshy away from science and mathematics, the flight from these subject areas anddisciplines is concentrated among students from non-Western cultural backgrounds,jegede and Aikenhead (1999) proposed the constructs— cultural border crossing andcollateral learning— to explain how students move between their everyday life-worldculture and the culture o f school science and how they deal with cognitive conflictsbetiveen the two worlds. This article closely examines these constructs in relation tothe fields o f science and mathematics generally, and in particular with regard tocurrent teaching and learning practices. The main focus is on students from minorityand Indigenous cultural backgrounds across the globe, and its goal is to proposeclassroom strategies and approaches that would make science and mathematics moreattractive to these students.

description: I wish to present here some of the ideas that I write about in my dissertation. While helping to explain the motives of some of the non-Indigenous people who have conducted research on us in the past, I hope that my work honors and builds on the work of Indigenous scholars who have gone before me. It is also my wish that future Indigenous researchers will be able to use this progression in their own work.

A Missing Link: Between TraditionalAboriginal Education and the WesternSystem of Education
Creators: name: Curwen Doige, Lynda A.
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: This article continues the ongoing discussion o f culturally appropriate education fo rAboriginal students and focuses on students' spirituality as the missing ingredientthat makes traditional Aboriginal education and the Western system o f educationcompatible. Spirituality unites the human part o f all o f us and permits the differencesto exist; through our spirituality we fin d our connectedness to one another. Thecounsel o f Aboriginal educators must be heeded if Aboriginal education is to becomespiritually grounded and thus culturally appropriate. They hold the answers to whatmore we need to know about the role o f spirituality in learning and education. Thisarticle examines spirituality in learning and education from three perspectives:(a) Aboriginal epistemology to discover the foundation fo r spirituality in learning;(b) Aboriginal educators' knowledge to understand the implications fo r teachers andtheir pedagogy; and (c) students' comments to see how they experience spiritualityoperating in a university course fo r beginning teachers.

Application of catastrophe theory to transient stability analysis of multimachine power systems
Creators: name: Parsi-Feraidoonian, Raiomand
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Transient stability analysis is an important part of power planning and operation. For large power systems, such analysis is very time consuming and expensive. Therefore, an online transient stability assessment will be required as these large power systems are operated close to their maximum limits. In this thesis swallowtail catastrophe is used to determine the transient stability regions. The bifurcation set represents the transient stability region in terms of power system transient parameters bounded by the transient stability limits. The system modelling is generalized in such, that the analysis could handle either one or any number of critical machines. This generalized model is then tested on a three-machine as well as a seven-machine system. The results of the stability analysis done with the generalized method is compared with the time solution and the results were satisfactory. The transient stability regions determined are valid for any changes in loading conditions and fault location. This method is a good candidate for on-line assessment of transient stability of power systems.

Year: 2021

description: Conference Presentation: If knowledge is power then understanding is liberation. What does that really mean, and how does that relate to Indigenous research issues? What is hermeneutics and what do we bring as Indigenous people to the dialogue? Can the experience of hermeneutics escort us into Paulo Freire's "Critical Consciousness" phase in his Theory of Conscientization? Will we wake up or stay asleep with regard to how best to research/understand, and thus educate our children in this time of homogenization, fear, and amoral intentions.

Pathway-centric computational approach identifies molecular changes associated with antibiotic resistance in staphylococcus aureus
Creators: name: Harris, Laura
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Background: Antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections are a major medical concern due to loss of antibiotic sensitivity. Genome-wide analyses, including sequencing and gene expression, identified genes associated with antibiotic resistances, such as vraSR whose mutations are associated with vancomycin, daptomycin, and oxacillin resistances. Pathway enrichment analysis using Fisher’s Exact Test (FET) provides insight into pathway activity, though pathway roles in resistance are not fully elucidated. These studies applied a pathway-centric computational approach to examine antibiotic resistance (i.e., vraS-driven) and response (i.e., treatment inducible) changes in S. aureus.Method: This is the first application of Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, which improves upon FET by removing gene selection requirements, to obtain pathway signatures (i.e., pathways ranked by activity change) from normalized enrichment scores reflecting 164 individual pathway activities in S. aureus. The pathway panels were obtained (most up- or down-regulated pathways separately), for vraS- and graSR-driven resistance signatures. A similar process was repeated to examine vancomycin susceptibility (i.e., difference in response between resistant and sensitive strains). Pathway activity in vraS-driven resistance panels was then examined in various antibiotic (vancomycin, oxacillin, or linezolid) susceptibilities to identify commonalities and differences in individual pathway activities. One novel pathway was selected and its association to antibiotic sensitivity was experimentally verified.Results: This approach correlated pathway activity changes, like up-regulated histidine biosynthesis, with established genetic associations to antibiotic resistance. Further, pathway activity changes with known associations to vancomycin susceptibility such as down-regulated TCA cycle activity was also identified. Both examinations identified pathways with no prior association to antibiotic resistance. Inverse correlations between pathway activity changes and susceptibility to vancomycin and oxacillin/linezolid were seen (pathway activities up-regulated in vancomycin susceptibility were down-regulated in linezolid susceptibility) regardless of strain resistance level. Lysine biosynthesis was identified as a top candidate pathway for targeting to overcome resistance and verified by lysine or aspartate supplementation. Thus, lysine biosynthesis as a co-therapeutic target could restore antibiotic efficacy.Conclusion: This pathway-centric approach identified pathway activity changes associated with antibiotic sensitivity which can be targeted to help reverse antibiotic resistance.
State and Universities in Greece (1974-2018): From the Demand for Democratization to the Constellation of Neoliberalism
Creators: name: Souvlis, George
name: Gounari, Panayota
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2019

description: This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the current developments in higher education in Greece. Towards this direction, it offers a historicized overview of the relation between the state and higher education in Greece over the last forty years by situating it within a broader context, that is, by taking into consideration both students’ protests from below and the wider global transformations from above. In order to conceptualize the historicity of these dynamics, we propose a periodization in three temporally discrete, though dialectically interlinked, phases as we set to explain the substantial penetration, through specific policies, of neoliberalism in the Greek university after 2008, a project that until that time had not been successful.

Control and estimation of a chaotic system
Creators: name: Ghofranih, Jahangir
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A class of deterministic nonlinear systems known as ”chaotic” behaves similar to noise-corrupted systems. As a specific example, Duffing equation, a nonlinear oscillator representing the roll dynamics of a vessel, was chosen for the study. State estimation and control of such systems in the presence of measurement noise is the prime goal of this research. A nonlinear estimation suitable for chaotic systems was evaluated against conventional methods based on linear equivalent model, and proved to be very efficient. A state feedback controller and a sliding mode controller were applied to the chaotic system and both techniques provided satisfactory results. Investigating the persistence of chaotic behavior of the controlled system is a secondary goal. Simulation results showed that the chaotic behavior persisted in case of the linear feedback controller, while in case of the sliding mode controller the system did not exhibit any chaotic behavior.
Lessons on the Land: The Role of Kaska Elders in a University Language Course
Creators: name: Moore, Patrick J.
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: The 13 Kaska Elders who participated in a recent university-level Kaska language course held in three locations on the land took different approaches to teaching than those associated with institutional settings. The diversity of Elders facilitated the modeling of gender roles, the mentoring of family members, and the representation of dialect diversity. They demonstrated a depth of experience and knowledge including a particularly wide-ranging knowledge of narrative traditions, prayers, and cultural practices. They provided balance to academic modes of instruction by communicating orally; by providing models of complex, extended use of native language; and by using the language in the context of daily activities.

Learning from Bad Teachers: The Neoliberal Agenda for Education in Popular Media
Creators: name: García, José
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: This paper examines representations of the neoliberal agenda for education in a recent school genre film, Bad Teacher (2011) and an episode of The Simpsons (2009). I argue that the explicit and implicit messages in these cultural products simultaneously shape, reinforce, and normalize contemporary popular discourses of education. As public pedagogy, Hollywood films are the primary sites where education takes place in contemporary times (Giroux & Pollock, 2010). Rather than dismissing these films for their face value messages, I propose we critically analyze them to understand how the neoliberal project is naturalized within films and television shows as capitalist realism. As teacher educators, it is crucial that we critically read these films with our students to identify and counter the subtle messages in films informed by the neoliberal agenda for education.

#TFA: The Intersection of Social Media and Education Reform
Creators: name: Brewer, T. Jameson
name: Wallis, Matthew
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: Teach For America (TFA), a teaching not-for-profit organization that recruits and places non-certified teachers in traditionally difficult to staff schools and districts, has without doubt helped shape the growing conversation of education reform.  And while this contribution can be found in the teachers it trains and the alumni who venture into education leadership roles, it can be readily found in the realm of media, and in particular, the social media of Twitter.  This paper provides an analysis of 15,304 “tweets” that were sent by, or to TFA and its top officers as well as all “tweets” including the “hashtag” of #TFA. As an exploratory analysis of the content and audience of tweets sent by core TFA individuals and including TFA related “hashtags,” we show that TFA rarely engages with critics as it uses the media of Twitter to reinforce its reform rhetoric within its own reform coalition.  Moreover, we assert that the action of ignoring questions and counter-narratives in social media, for example, is grounded on the assumption that neoliberal educational reforms are seemingly above reproach and beyond critique.

description: This volume covers Leg 65 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Legs 64 and 65 were planned as a coordinated drilling investigation of the Gulf of California. Leg 65 was designed to study the processes of crustal accretion along the relatively fast spreading East Pacific Rise for comparison with the slow-spreading Mid-Atlantic Ridge. On Leg 65 it was planned to drill a transect across the East Pacific Rise just south of the Tamayo Fracture Zone and to penetrate deep into the crust at one site near the ridge crest. The purpose was to sample crustal sections formed at a relatively fast spreading ridge to investigate the processes of crustal accretion in this environment. The final sites selected for Leg 65 were designed not only to test models for crustal accretion at the rift axis but to make possible several downhole experiments. During Leg 65, three principal sites (482, 483, and 485) were drilled on the flanks of the ridge at 23 °N, together with a less successful site (484) in the Tamayo Fracture Zone. These sites, together with one site (474) drilled in older crust on Leg 64, represent an axial transect along an approximate spreading flow line. The Glomar Challenger departed San Pedro, California in January 1979, and returned to Mazatlán, Mexico in March 1979.
Engagement with the mainstream media and the relationship to political literacy: The influence of hegemonic education on democracy
Creators: name: Carr, Paul R
name: Pluim, Gary W. J.
name: Howard, Lauren
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: This article focuses on teacher candidates' perspectives of media literacy in the context of education for democracy as a possibility to enlighten students to address the mainstream media’s predisposition towards the neoliberal privatization and corporatization of education. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative data from research at two campuses of a university in Ontario, Canada, we illustrate how this sample of future educators demonstrates a normative inclination to embed media literacy in their teaching; however, real barriers exist that can diminish their engagement with controversial issues, alternative media, and, even, democratic education, and education for democracy, itself. This contradiction, we argue, underscores the difference between media awareness that many teacher candidates possess, and media literacy, a quality that requires greater focus at education institutions. Set against the backdrop of the television news media’s largely imperceptible neoliberal predisposition towards education, education for democracy must necessarily incorporate a critical approach that enables future teachers to identify and critique the mainstream media’s support of, and entanglement with, the neoliberal cooptation of education. The article ends with several proposals to address the democratic deficits created through limited engagement with media literacy.

Teach For America in the Media: A Multimodal Semiotic Analysis
Creators: name: Faltin Osborn, Sarah Rose
name: Sierk, Jessica L.
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: Teach For America (TFA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, recruits college graduates, often from outside of the educational domain, from some of the United States’ most prestigious universities to teach for two years in low-income, oftentimes racially diverse, schools around the country.  This social semiotic approach to multimodal critical discourse analysis seeks to uncover and explore the ideologies found in the discourse surrounding TFA’s media representation. The purpose of this analysis is to describe how TFA is represented by it’s own organization and how it is represented by the media both positively and negatively, giving explicit attention to how social actors are either collectivized or individualized.  TFA’s media portrayal enables individuals who have not interacted with the organization, and also may have very little understanding of it, to form an opinion about its work and effectiveness, thus creating and reinforcing beliefs that align people for or against TFA.

Analyzing the Visual Discourse of Charter Schools in the News
Creators: name: Feuerstein, Abe
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: This study examines a number of political cartoons focused on various aspects of charter school reform.  These images illustrate the ways in which political cartoons are able to tap into dominant cultural beliefs in order to call attention to particular issues often from a critical perspective.  The paper unpacks the meaning embedded in these cartoons through the use of tools borrowed from both the study of semiotics and the field of visual rhetoric.  With regard to semiotics, the study focuses on identifying the signs and symbols embedded within the images.  With respect to visual rhetoric, the study focuses on the way the images condense and combine ideas, present opposing position, and seek to normalize or challenge particular perspectives. More generally, the study uses political cartoons as a means to identify currents of opposition and possibilities for contestation in relation to the dominant direction of educational reform. In the case of charter school reform, political cartoons open up a discursive space for consideration and critique of current policies and their consequences. These cartoons provide access to a discourse that questions the benefits of charter school reform and stands in opposition to the dominant neoliberal discourses now shaping educational policy.

Of Hating, Hurting, and Coming to Terms With the English Language
Creators: name: Keeshig-Tobias, Lenore
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: This article explores the power of language and some of the barriers that face Native literacy and attempts to describe by being a culturally appropriate way of framing "literacy" for Aboriginal peoples. It begins with an introduction in the traditional manner, albeit in the English language, and then illustrates how "literacy" was taught at home. It then looks at an emerging awareness and ability to articulate what was amiss in Native life and the power of language. Whether a mother tongue or the colonizers' language, language can create or destroy. As a weapon it has been and still is used to disenfranchise Aboriginal peoples. As a tool it is used to empower Aboriginal peoples. But what is the difference? Many of our Elders survived physical and psychological abuse in residential and mission schools because of language. Sadly, the fallout from this trauma falls on the younger generations and those who for a multitude of reasons have been denied our mother tongue. We are told by some of our Elders, "You're not a real Indian if you don't speak the language." We are told by the dominant society, "English is the only language you speak; therefore, it is your mother tongue. ” And when we make the effort to learn our Aboriginal language we are told, "It is one of the hardest languages in the word to learn.” Language as a tool always empowers our people, yet all tools to work properly for us must be respected.

Neoliberal education reform's mouthpiece: Analyzing Education Week's discourse on Teach for America
Creators: name: Gautreaux, Michelle Therese
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: This article explores the relationship between neoliberalism, corporate education reform in the United States, and the news source Education Week. In order to understand the present context of the US school reform debate and the expansion of Teach for America (TFA), this first part of this paper begins with an analysis of the global education reform movement as part of neoliberalism, the globally dominant economic and political ideology since the 1980's. Within the context of neoliberalism, I focus on the impact of the report A Nation at Risk, the standards movement, and the founding of TFA. I then discuss the media's role in the corporate education reform context and in particular Education Week 's historical connection to the neoliberal education agenda in the US. In the second part of this article, I employ Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine Education Week's coverage of TFA between 2009-2014, to illustrate how power, ideology, marginalization, and social domination are manifest and reinforced in the language and discursive strategies of the paper's columnists. By focusing on “teacher quality” and test score improvements based on problematic studies, Education Week uncritically proclaims the success of TFA teachers and marginalizes the voices of veteran teachers and teachers’ unions, ultimately serving as a mouthpiece for corporate education reform in the US.

A STUDY ON EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERVIEW PROCESSES AT OMEGA HEALTHCARE
Creators: name: Priyanka S
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025
Subjects: Talent Acquisition, Interview Evaluation, Candidate Experience, Recruitment Strategies, Selection Process, Employer Branding

description: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the recruitment and interview process at Omega Healthcare from the perspective of job applicants. The research focuses on understanding how candidates perceive various aspects of the process, such as communication, interview structure, transparency, and professionalism. A structured questionnaire containing 20 questions was used to collect data from 95 respondents. The results of the percentage analysis show that most respondents had a positive experience, especially in areas like clarity of communication, relevance of interview questions, and timely updates. Correlation analysis revealed significant relationships between communication and overall interview experience, as well as between job expectation clarity and candidate satisfaction. The Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.88 indicates a high level of reliability in the questionnaire. However, Chi-square tests showed no significant relationship between some demographic factors and recruitment experience. Based on the findings, suggestions have been made to improve areas such as post-interview communication and better alignment of job expectations. The study concludes that Omega Healthcare’s recruitment process is generally well-received, but there is scope for further enhancement through feedback-driven improvements.

description: Many o f us are fluent speakers in an Aboriginal language o f our people. For the past 41 years I have been a speaker of the Ojibwe/Odawa language. I learn new ideas about teaching when visiting various people who struggle with the same issues as I do concerning language retention and revitalization. In order to become a fluent speaker ofOjibwe, or any other language, you must be in an environment where the language is spoken all the time. In my home community there were many opportunities to speak the language. When I started school all the students were speakers o f the language. If we were caught speaking the language in school, we were punished severely. As you learn the language, you get a better knowledge of the culture.

Re-Privatizing the Family: How “Opt-Out” and “Parental Involvement” Narratives Support School Privatization
Creators: name: Shuffelton, Amy B.
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: To speak of the “neoliberal privatization of education” is discursively to acknowledge a distinction between “public” and “private,” which “privatization” seeks to override.  To critics of school privatization, the erosion of the distinct sphere of the public is a regressive move.  It is noteworthy, therefore, that progressive feminists, who are also concerned with the distinction between feminized “private” and masculinized “public” spheres, have historically supported the erosion of this distinction. There are, this paper contends, importantly gendered dimensions to neoliberal privatization that feminist analysis of the “private” brings into focus.

Genetic algorithms in system identification and control
Creators: name: Kristinsson, Kristinn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Current online identification techniques are recursive and involve local search techniques. In this thesis, we show how genetic algorithms, a parallel, global search technique emulating natural genetic operators can be used to estimate the poles and zeros of a dynamical system. We also design an adaptive controller based on the estimates. The algorithms are shown to be useful for continuous time parameter identifications and to be able to identify directly physical parameters of a system. Simulations and an experiment show the technique to be satisfactory and to provide unbiased estimates in presence of colored noise.

My good friend Ernestine LaCroix and I begin with a demonstration of using American Sign Language (ASL), which is a way of communicating in the Deaf culture. I also talk about my early experience in the school system before I realized I had hearing and vision disabilities. Eventually I was able to enter a training program in residential school at the Ontario School for the Deaf (OSD) in Belleville. I was just turning 16.1 am culturally diverse and am able to bridge the gap for our Aboriginal people who need access to our traditional way of life. I know how to move between communities, I have become productive, and I continue traveling the healing path of the Sweet Grass Trail. You cannot have a hearing person lead a Deaf Native literacy program any more than you can put a second-language speaker of any tongue to teach the language and culture. Such a person will not have the cultural grounding.

description: Manuskriptauszug «Gerade in segregierten und benachteiligten Räumen, in denen soziale Ungleichheiten oft über Gegenrationen hinweg vererbet werden und soziale Spaltungstendenzen zu einer Gefahr für den Zusammenhalt unserer Gesellschaft werden, ist die Frage zentral, wie es gelingen kann, Bildungsungleichheiten abzubauen und ein respektvolles und lernförderliches Miteinander von Lehrkräften, Schüler*innen, Eltern und auch Akteuren aus dem Sozialraum herzustellen. [...] Der vorliegende Beitrag skizziert in Kapitel 2 mit Bezügen auf die Konzepte der Anerkennungsgerechtigkeit, Arbeiten zu Habitusdifferenzen und dem Konzept der Defizitorientierungen, Herausforderungen, die sich für die Ausgestaltung von Lehrer-Schüler-Interaktionen, die Haltung und das Verhalten von Lehrkräften, sowie Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklung für Schulen in benachteiligten Lagen ergeben können. In Kapitel 3 wird ein Projektansatz vorgestellt, mit dem zwischen 2015 und 2018 Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklungsprozesse in 36 sozialräumlich benachteiligten Schulen im Ruhrgebiet bearbeitet wurden. In 14 dieser Schulen standen der Aufbau einer Anerkennungskultur, der Abbau von Defizitperspektiven und das stärken positiver Beziehungen im Zentrum der Entwicklungsbemühungen. Mithilfe von quantitativen Daten einer Lehrkräftebefragung zu zwei Messzeitpunkten, wird in Kapitel 4 dargestellt, ob und inwiefern sich Veränderungen in den bearbeiteten Themengebieten während der Projektlaufzeit nachzeichnen lassen. Die quantitativen Ergebnisse werden in Kapitel 5 mithilfe von Gruppendiskussionen, die zum Ende der Projektlaufzeit mit Vertreter*innen der teilnehmenden Schulen geführt wurden, kontextualisiert und eingeordnet. Der Beitrag wird mit Schlussfolgerungen und Konsequenzen, die sich aus den berichteten Ergebnissen für zukünftige Initiativen zur Herstellung von mehr Bildungsgerechtigkeit in Kapitel 6 beschlossen.» [130f.]

Lessons from the “Pen Alongside the Sword”: School Reform through the Lens of Radical Black Press
Creators: name: Hussain, Khuram
name: Stern, Mark
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: This study considers the historical and contemporary significance of radical Black press in both challenging mainstream media discourse on school reform and posing an alternative vision rooted in grassroots Black political thought. Our proposition is that this history is educative in the contemporary neoliberal moment in terms of how it argued about education, what it argued for, and to what end. As neoliberalism attempts to divorce ideas of liberty from social justice, radical thinkers of the 1960s-70s offer creative insight on countering the material and discursive practices of the current corporate reform paradigm. Their journalistic practices are put forward in the spirit of Malcolm X’s call for a “broader interpretation” of social justice and democratic possibilities. Moreover, the enduring lessons of the radical Black press direct us to look for multiple modes of analysis and strategies of resistance against the frenetic expression of neoliberalism in the media and in schools.

The News Media, Education, and the Subversion of the Neoliberal Social Imaginary: An Introductory Essay
Creators: name: Ford, Derek R.
name: Porfilio, Bradley J.
name: Goldstein, Rebecca A.
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: In this introductory essay, the special issue editors examine the relationship between the media and the neoliberal privatization of education in the U.S. They first take up an examination of news media journalism in late modernity and highlight how neoliberal politics under the guise of democratization of the news media have resulted in both the gutting of professional education journalism and the intensification of the representation of the interests of the economic elite. They next turn to the task of establishing a common and critical understanding of the term neoliberalism, locating it as an extension of Marx’s concept of primary accumulation, an important logic that defines the relationships between individuals, communities, the state, and capital. Finally, they consider how people can disrupt the powerful processes that serve the interests of the neoliberal social imaginary. Highlighting the political actions of Raymond ‘Boots’ Riley to disrupt the destructive practices of neoliberalized education, they illustrate the possibilities of engaging with alternative media to reframe educational debates, while remaining critical of alternative media.

Motivating Learners in Northern Communities
Creators: name: Swanson, Sharon
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: The ideas presented in this article are based on insights and understandings that have evolved while teaching in the Literacy and Basic Skills program for the Moose Cree Education Authority in Moose Factory, Ontario. Moose Factory is located in the district of James Bay, and its nearest neighbor is Moosonee, which is about three miles away. Moose Factory is an island community approximately three miles by two miles and sits 18 feet above sea level, with a population of 2,500. These isolated communities are accessible by plane, train, boat, or snow machine depending on the season. To get to Moose Factory from Moosonee, you need to board a water taxi during the summer months. An ice road connects these two communities during the winter months, while during freeze-up and break-up community members use helicopters to travel back and forth. Although means of travel are unique to the area, the purpose of the Moose Factory literacy program is not unlike those in Southern communities.

Breathing Secondhand Smoke: Gatekeeping for “Good Education," Passive Democracy, and the Mass Media. An Interview with Noam Chomsky
Creators: name: Wubbena, Zane C.
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2015

description: Noam Chomsky and I dialogue about various topics grounded in the context of the mass media, democracy, and the neoliberal privatization of education. The topics discussed were understood in terms of dichotomies (i.e., at ends of a spectrum) related to paradigms with different purposes of education, different conceptions and functions of democracy, and different types of thinking that are ingrained in our patterns of thought. These patterns serve the function of gatekeeping by imposing constraints on thinking that is “supportive of power that just becomes second nature. Just like the air you breathe, so you can’t question it.” Thus, this dialogue works to clear the air of secondhand smoke clogging our potential to reach what it might do to think about “bad education”—that is, to maximizing the air (advantage) of the least advantaged in society.

Self-Management and Self-Direction in the Success of Native Literacy Learners
Creators: name: Jones, Chrstianna
Publisher: name: Canadian Journal of Native Education
Year: 2021

description: The M'Chigeeng Literacy and Basic Skills full-time program, M'Chigeeng First Nations ofManitoulin Island, Ontario, began in February of 1994. It was determined and agreed that this was not just an academic program; its purpose was to help learners become more aware of themselves, their skills, family dynamics, and community involvement. An awareness of the Seven Grandfathers' Teachings of the Ojibway helped us to identify the philosophy we used to run our program. This article discusses these teachings and how we incorporated them into our program. It was not so much a conscious choice that we should use the Seven Grandfathers' teachings in the running of our program; it was rather a matter of conscience. This article describes the overall way our program works; the Seven Grandfathers' Teachings and how they influence our program; what self-direction and self-management mean; and a brief overview of the research that has been undertaken by the Ontario Literacy Coalition about the self-management and self-direction domain.

description: Urban flood risk assessment requires attention in inland areas with intensifying climate change and an increasing probability of extreme precipitation. This study describes the developments and testing of a sub-catchment-based multi-index fuzzy evaluation approach that can provide adaptation guidance for municipal decision-makers at a local level. We first built a comprehensive flood risk assessment system considering three categories: hazard, urban system, and social environment. The proposed evaluation system includes hybrid uncertain information that involves random indicator sources and hesitant fuzzy judgments from experts. The storm weather management model combined with geographic information system tools was then applied to obtain random indicators. Subsequently, hesitant fuzzy linguistic sets and the Euclidean distance method were adopted to solve the problem of uncertainty and vagueness from subjective hesitant information. Therefore, the aggregation method provides a beneficial way to assess flood risk in a hybrid uncertain environment. In addition, the proposed approach was applied to the Jinjiang district in an inland city in the P. R. of China. This supports efforts to prioritize locally tailored policies and practical measures for higher-risk sub-catchments within large urban systems.
