Educational Pluralism and Tolerance

Year: 2018

description: The issue of intolerance is increasingly being brought to our attention. (See, for example, a recent publication by Jay Newman, Foundations of Religious Tolerance, Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1982). A task force recently appointed by the Government of Alberta in response to the Keegstra affair was assigned to study the problem of intolerance within our education system and in our society generally. The committee's report gives expression to a very commonly held position, namely, that the key to fostering tolerance in a society is to maintain a strong and uniform public school system, and that the proliferation of private/alternative/separate schools will foster intolerance in our society. The purpose of this article is to refute this belief by clarifying the concept of "tolerance,'' uncovering some problematic assumptions underlying the opposition to educational pluralism, and considering relevant empirical evidence.

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a theory-based questionnaire to measure road crossing attitudes and potentially risky pedestrian behavior. Methods: A cross-sectional validation study was carried out on a total sample of 380 young adults aged 18 to 25 years who live in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected from January 27 to May 20, 2015, using a self-administered structured pool of 76 items that was developed from research on the theory of planned behavior. A panel of subject-matter experts evaluated the items for content validity index and content validity ratio, and the questionnaire was pretested. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to test construct validity. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analyses were done to assess internal consistency and stability of the scale. Results: From the initial 76 items, 38 items were found to be appropriate for assessing the pedestrian road crossing behavior (PEROB) of young adults in Tehran. A 9-factor solution revealed an exploratory factor analysis that jointly accounted for 63.8% of the variance observed. Additional analyses also indicated acceptable results for the internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha value ranging from 0.67 to 0.88 and ICC values ranging from 0.64 to 0.96. Conclusions: This psychometric evaluation of a self-administered instrument resulted in a reliable and valid instrument to assess young adult pedestrians' self-reported road crossing attitudes and behaviors in Tehran. Further development of the instrument is needed to assess its applicability to other road users, particularly older pedestrians.

description: Many North American school districts and post-secondary academic institutions are acknowledging the importance of becoming a critical thinker. Future citizens will need to be to informed consumers of technology, science, sociology, and ethics, to name a few. After all, the world has become vastly more complicated, necessitating such skills as reasonableness and logical thinking. By engaging students at a crucial time in their developmental process, we can lay the foundation for good critical thinkers. The purpose of this paper is to examine the importance of critical thinking in science education, both at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Evidence regarding its suitability will be drawn from critical thinking and science education literature, as well as previous studies using bioethical decision-making and generic question stem strategies with middle school and university students.

Envisioning Technological Literacy in Science Education: Building Sustainable Human-Technology-Lifeworld Relationships

Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Present discourses on technology education are taking a positive and value-neutral approach with utilitarian and vocational overtones. The discourses generally lack discussions of human agency and human responsibility for techno-scientific activities and technological literacy. To support the emergence of a collective civic literacy, we argue in this text that technology education needs to take up critical and value-acknowledging aspects with emphasis on building sustainable relationships among human beings, technology, and lifeworld. To understand the relationship between human agency and modern technology, we examine the nature of technology in the dimensions of technology as causality and technology as a relationship of lifeworld. Discussing Martin Heidegger's perspectives on the causalities of technology, we question how the nature of technology situates human beings in power-related relationships to the world. Understanding technology as process and relationship of lifeworld, the paper extends its discussion of the responsibility of a dialectical human-technology-lifeworld relation based on a socio-technical and ethico-moral framework of technology. By recognizing human responsibility of and for modern technology, we outline a critical and reflective approach to technological literacy. The approach challenges the position of current approaches to technology in the attempt to provide a foundation for a contemporary pedagogy of technological awareness and values.

description: Introduction Currently, the role of argumentation is accepted as the focus point when constructing explanations, models, and theories, just as scientists use argumentation in order to connect their defended hypotheses with data or initial starting points (Gross, 1990; Siegel, 1995). The argumentative node corresponds with ideas that permit one to solve doubts through pros and cons which give rise to a stronger conclusion (Figure 2).\n (8) when a Fe chain corrodes naturally, in other words in open air, it oxidizes because of environmental factors, its colour changes due to the formation of FeO (iron oxide).

description: Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence and potential risk factors of farm vehicle–related road traffic crashes among farm vehicle drivers in southern China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was used to interview 1,422 farm vehicle drivers in southern China. Farm vehicle–related road traffic crashes that occurred from December 2013 to November 2014 were investigated. Data on farm vehicle–related road traffic crashes and related factors were collected by face-to-face interviews. Results: The prevalence of farm vehicle–related road traffic crashes among the investigated drivers was 7.2%. Farm vehicle–related road traffic crashes were significantly associated with self-reported vision problem (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 6.48, 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.86–10.87), self-reported sleep disorders (AOR = 10.03, 95% CI, 6.28–15.99), self-reported stress (AOR = 20.47, 95% CI, 9.96–42.08), reported history of crashes (AOR = 5.40, 95% CI, 3.47–8.42), reported history of drunk driving (AOR = 5.07, 95% CI, 2.97–8.65), and reported history of fatigued driving (AOR = 5.72, 95% CI, 3.73–8.78). The number of road traffic crashes was highest in the daytime and during harvest season. In over 96% of farm vehicle–related road traffic crashes, drivers were believed to be responsible for the crash. Major crash-causing factors included improper driving, careless driving, violating of traffic signals or signs, and being in the wrong lane. Conclusion: Findings of this study suggest that farm vehicle–related road traffic crashes have become a burgeoning public health problem in China. Programs need to be developed to prevent farm vehicle–related road traffic crashes in this emerging country.

description: An examination of how science instructions are impacted by the sociological nature of the learner and the cultural astuteness of the teacher. When students bring their history into the classroom, what impact does this have on their scientific reasoning abilities? Equally, when teachers permeate their history into the teaching and learning process, what impact does this have on the cultural sensitivity or insensitivity of the teacher? Addressing the history gaps between teachers and students will help to formulate the model paradigm for effective science instructions.

description: Agrochemicals significantly contribute to environmental pollution. In the USA, atrazine is a widely used pesticide and commonly found in rivers, water systems, and rural wells. Phytoremediation can be a cost-effective means of removing pesticides from soil. The objective of this project was to investigate the ability of prairie grasses to remove atrazine. 14C-labeled atrazine was added to sterilized sand and water/nutrient cultures, and the analysis was performed after 21 days. Switchgrass and big bluestem were promising species for phytoremediation, taking up about 40% of the applied [14C] in liquid hydroponic cultures, and between 20% and 33% in sand cultures. Yellow Indiangrass showed low resistance to atrazine toxicity and low uptake of [14C] atrazine in liquid hydroponic cultures. Atrazine degradation increased progressively from sand to roots and leaves. Most atrazine taken up by prairie grasses from sand culture was degraded to metabolites, which accounted for 60–80% of [14C] detected in leaves. Deisopropylatrazine (DIA) was the main metabolite detected in sand and roots, whereas in leaves further metabolism took place, forming increased amounts of didealkylatrazine (DDA) and an unidentified metabolite. In conclusion, prairie grasses achieved high atrazine removal and degradation, showing a high potential for phytoremediation.

description: Multireference configuration interaction method was used in order to generate accurate potential energy curves of the OH, SH, OH− and SH− electronic states correlating to the three lowest dissociation limits. These curves were used in addition with core–valence correlation and scalar relativistic corrections for the calculations of accurate spectroscopic constants of bound states, which generally are found in excellent agreement with best available experimental and theoretical values in the literature. The spin–orbit interactions between electronic states have been calculated for the cases in which the couplings were assumed to be responsible for perturbations and used to explain the predissociation of A2Σ+ state of OH and SH by dissociative states 14Σ−, 12Σ− and 1 4Π. Dipole moment functions were also computed along internuclear distances and used to explain polarity of these molecules in different calculated electronic states. In addition, stability and metastability of electronic states (X 1Σ+, A1Π and a3Π) of OH− and SH− molecular anions have been studied relatively to curves of neutral parent electronic states. Finally, we have computed adiabatic electron affinity of OH and SH and these values have been found in very good agreement with the best experimental values and resort as among the best achieved values.

description: This investigation involved pre-service education students who were enrolled in a one-year full -time professional Bachelor of Education program in Ontario, Canada. Each of the students completed an educational philosophy survey to identify their current philosophical orientation. Overwhelmingly, most preservice students selected and identified with the statements emanating from the progressivist school. The majority (+90%) of pre-service student teachers who completed the survey strongly agreed with the statements underpinning progressivism. A minority (3%) or 15 of the 520 surveyed indicated they were Social Reconstructionists (an outgrowth of progressivism) and only 1 % or five participants indicated that they strongly identified with Existentialist statements.

description: The geometry, interaction energy and bonding properties of ternary complexes O3Z···NCX···NCY (Z= Ar, Kr, Xe; X = Cl, Br, I and Y = H, F, OH) are investigated with ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level. Two different types of intermolecular interactions are present in these complexes, namely, aerogen bond (Z···N) and halogen bond (X···N). The formation mechanism and bonding properties of these complexes are analysed with molecular electrostatic potentials, quantum theory of atoms in molecules and non-covalent interaction index. It is found that the cooperativity energies in the ternary complexes are all negative; that is, the interaction energy of the ternary complex is greater (more negative) than the sum of the interaction energies of the corresponding binary systems. Also, the cooperativity energies increase with the increase of the interaction energies. The cooperative effects in the ternary complexes make a decrease in the total spin–spin coupling constants across the aerogen bonding, J(Z–N), which can be regarded as a proof for the reinforce of Z···N interactions in the ternary complexes with respect to the binary systems.

description: How does one successfully launch a teaching career? In what ways do teacher preparation programs, schools, and school districts support an individual's transition into the challenging world of teaching? These questions are addressed through the narrative of one new teacher's successful transition from the University of Calgary's BEd Master of Teaching Program into the teaching profession. The first year teacher, a district administrator, and a teacher preparation educator describe the structures, programs, and forms of learning that have enabled the teacher to "live well" as a novice educator. This successful induction into teaching began in a district with a self-described "mentoring culture." Recruitment, orientation, coaching, and evaluation processes are deliberately fashioned to provide a framework of supportive and learner-focused relationships. With these structures as launching points, the teacher's journey unfolds. Her explorations, discoveries, challenges. and questions encourage inquiry into best practices and foster the evolution as an innovative educator.

description: Introduction: Several studies suggested a possible association between certain polymorphisms in the N-acetyl-transferase 2 (NAT2) gene (which encodes a very important enzyme involved in xenobiotic metabolism) and the risk for Parkinson’s disease (PD). As the results of studies on this issue are controversial, we conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis of eligible studies on this putative association. Areas covered: The authors revised the relationship between NAT2 polymorphisms and the risk of developing PD using several databases, and performed a meta-analysis using the software Meta-Disc1.1.1. In addition heterogeneity between studies was analyzed. A description of studies regarding gene-gene interactions and gene-environmental interactions involving NAT2 polymorphisms is also made. Expert opinion: Despite several recent meta-analyses showing an association between several polymorphisms in genes related with detoxification mechanisms such as cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6), and glutathione transferases M1 and T1 (GSTM1, and GSTT1), data on NAT2 gene polymorphisms obtained from the current meta-analysis do not support a major association with PD risk, except in Asian populations. However, data from many studies are incomplete and therefore insufficient data exists to draw definitive conclusions. Several studies suggesting gene-gene and gene-environmental factors involving NAT2 gene in PD risk await confirmation.

description: Rate constants for the reactions of C2H6, C2H5D and C2D6 with .CCl3. for the production of CHCl3 and CDCl3 (k1, k2, k3 and k4) were computed using variational transition state theory coupled with hybrid-meta density functional theory (MPWB1K) over the temperature range of 200–2900 K. The ground-state vibrational adiabatic potential was plotted for all channels. Small- and large-curvature tunnelling were determined to include quantum effects in the calculation of rate constants. Harmonic vibrational frequencies along the reaction path were calculated in curvilinear coordinates with scaled frequencies. Anharmonicity was included in the lowest-frequency torsion. The position of formation and dissociation of bonds was specified using the variation in harmonic vibrational frequencies along the reaction path. Representative tunnelling energy and the thermally averaged transmission probability at 298 K (P(E)exp ( − ΔE/RT)) were determined for the reactions in which tunnelling is important. The kinetic isotope effect was used to calculate the considerable contributions of tunnelling and vibration. The expressions for rate constants were determined using nonlinear least-square fitting over the temperature range of 200–2900 K.

Ziel der Forschung ist die Förderung der Kreislaufwirtschaft durch Wiederverwendung von Bauteilen aus dem anthropogenen Lager bei gleichzeitiger Einbindung zirkulärer, natürlicher Baustoffe aus dem lokalen Kontext. Hier zeigen sich zwei Baustoffe als besonders vielversprechend: Lehm als regional in großen Mengen verfügbare Ressource und Stahl als langlebiges und widerstandsfähiges Material aus der urbanen Mine. Untersucht wird das Zusammenwirken beider Baustoffe in hybrider Bauweise für den mehrgeschossigen Wohnungsbau mit dem Fokus auf Entwicklung eines Kappendeckensystems. Dabei werden Stahlprofile für die zugbeanspruchten Träger eingesetzt [1], während Stampflehm in den druckbeanspruchten Decken Anwendung findet [2] (Abb.1). Die Idee dieser Symbiose beruht auf dem intelligenten Ausnutzen der gegensätzlichen Materialeigenschaften. Auf diese Weise sollen im Vergleich zu konventionellen Bauweisen deutliche Einsparungen in der Ökobilanzierung erzielt und beide Baustoffe für den Geschossbau skalierbar gemacht werden [3]. Als konzeptionelle Grundlage fungiert ein exemplarisches Modellgebäude, um den Einsatz beider Baustoffe hinsichtlich ihrer konstruktiven und bauphysikalischen Eigenschaften in einem plausiblen Anwendungsfall zu demonstrieren, wobei materialbedingte Herausforderungen zum Brand- und Wasserschutz thematisiert werden.

description: Converting from conventional to organic production systems requires the use of approved practices in every phase of crop production. In addition, farmers cannot be certified organic until 3 years after they have adopted organic practices. These organic requirements may decrease crop yields and increase labor requirements. However, organic price premiums help offset the cost of organic production.

description: Grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana (Lep. Tortricidae) is a key pest of grape in Iran and other vineyards of the world. In this study, eight constant rearing temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 32 and 35 ± 1 °C) along with 60 ± 10% RH and a 16:8 (L:D) h photoperiod were chosen for demographic studies of the grapevine moth. Immature stages were unable to develop when reared at 5 and 35 °C, and the progeny moths were unable to successfully mate at 10, 15 and 32 °C. The overall developmental time of juveniles decreased at 30 °C (from 320.7 ± 3.4 d at 10 °C to 34.2 ± 0.2 d) followed by an increase to 42.5 ± 0.6 d at 32 °C. Based on values of the stable population growth parameters, the temperature of 25 °C was found to be optimal for propagation of grapevine moth. The highest values of the intrinsic rate of increase, gross and net reproductive rates were 0.0719 d −1, 55.5 and 23 females per generation, respectively, at 25 °C. Since jackknife and bootstrap estimates of mean and standard error were mainly similar, both methods may equally be used for uncertainty estimates. Our data suggest that cold storage of grapes will help to control grapevine moth infestations and damage. In many grape growing regions of Iran, the first generation is expected to cause damage. It is expected since our reproductive life table analysis suggests that the hot summer temperatures may restrict pest development during subsequent generations.

description: The Powderhorn Lake volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit is hosted within the Ordovician Buchans-Roberts Arm (volcanic) belt (BRAB) in central Newfoundland. The deposit is hosted by coherent and clastic rhyolitic rocks that are interpreted to have formed within a rifted continental arc setting. The stratigraphy, alteration, and mineralization of the deposit is preserved within multiple, imbricated thrust panels that comprise a regional domal antiform. Mineralization occurs as multiple stacked lenses consisting of stringer to semimassive and massive pyrrhotite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and minor galena. Sulfide lenses typically contain relicts of host rocks and are interpreted to have formed by replacement-style processes at or below the seafloor. Hydrothermal alteration assemblages at Powderhorn Lake consist of weak to intense quartz-sericite and quartz-sericite-chlorite+/- pyrite. Lithogeochemical data, mass change calculations, and short-wave infrared spectroscopy identified key element associations and alteration assemblages that provide vectors towards mineralization. The lithogeochemical data have been used to create a 3D alteration model of the Powderhorn Lake deposit that highlights spatial relationships between key alteration characteristics and stratigraphy.

enumeration

description: SMT solvers generally tackle quantifiers by instantiating their variables with tuples of terms from the ground part of the formula. Recent enumerative approaches for quantifier instantiation consider tuples of terms in some heuristic order. This paper studies different strategies to order such tuples and their impact on performance. We decouple the ordering problem into two parts. First is the order of the sequence of terms to consider for each quantified variable, and second is the order of the instantiation tuples themselves. While the most and least preferred tuples, i.e. those with all variables assigned to the most or least preferred terms, are clear, the combinations in between allow flexibility in an implementation. We look at principled strategies of complete enumeration, where some strategies are more fair, meaning they treat all the variables the same but some strategies may be more adventurous, meaning that they may venture further down the preference list. We further describe new techniques for discarding irrelevant instantiations which are crucial for the performance of these strategies in practice. These strategies are implemented in the SMT solver cvc5, where they contribute to the diversification of the solver’s configuration space, as shown by our experimental results.

description: Agriculture is a backbone of Indian economy. As per the census, about 68.8 percent of population resides in rural area and depending directly or indirectly upon agriculture for their livelihood. The contribution of this sector to the gross domestic product (GDP) is however declining very rapidly and is presently about 14.5 percent (in 2010-11) and this sector is also showing deceleration in growth rates. Therefore, it is very important for this sector to achieve higher growth rates and also be an engine of growth, so that growth in other sectors and overall growth rate of the economy can be achieved. The primary agricultural credit co-operative societies are considered to be the pillars of the entire cooperative edifice. The PACSs continue to be the main source of agricultural credit to the farmers in rural areas.

description: Freire addresses an eclectic range of topics in the essays and letters - social change, literacy, technology, adult education, hope, and Utopia, among other subjects - and in so doing he revisits, reworks and extends key themes in his philosophy of education. A pedagogy of convergences is also a pedagogy of conversations - across cultures, spiritual traditions, disciplinary boundaries, and time - and continuing those conversations, by expanding the list of thinkers and activists considered, is an important task for the future.

The Chinese, Diversity, and the History of Science

description: The following special issue of JET includes some of the papers from the recent Ninth International History and Philosophy of Science Teaching Education (IHPST) conference held at Calgary, Alberta in June of 2007. They are all fine papers and worth reading by any student of science, the history of science, and the philosophy of science. But one thing is missing from the papers because it was missing at the conference and indeed all the earlier versions of this conference, namely, some sense of science originating other than in Europe or North America. For we tend to think of natural science as something invented in Europe in the 16th and especially the 17th centuries and thereafter progressing along the lines there laid down. And indeed the achievements of European scientists of that era are unparalleled and astonishing. But they did not spring out of nowhere. And part of that somewhere from which they did spring had wider roots and deeper origins.

The Game of Prediction and Retrodiction: A Radical-Constructivist Perspective on the Notion of Time in Physics
Creators: name: Quale, Andreas
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: The notions of prediction and retrodiction, and the role they play in the natural sciences, are discussed. These notions derive from our perception of the fundamental category of time, as an ordering scheme for our experiential world. The issue of philosophical determinism vs. human free will is examined from a perspective of radical constructivism, and contrasted with the issue of solipsism vs. shared experience; and it is argued that both philosophical determinism and solipsism may be rejected, on the same (existential, not logical) grounds. Both prediction and retrodiction are discussed, in the context of some sciences (notably, classical and quantum physics), and are shown to be realisable only to a very limited extent. Some consequences of this, for the ability of science to forecast what will happen in the future, or to infer what has happened in the past, are reviewed. It is concluded that scientific knowledge, of both the past and the future, is (and must be) constructed in the present, based on presently observed data and theoretical arguments. Hence there can be no conception of true knowledge, either of the future or of the past.

Can our Conception of the Nature of Science be Tentative Without Qualification?
Creators: name: Perla, Rocco J.

Year: 2018

description: The tentative and revisionary character of scientific knowledge is believed to play a central role in nature of science (NOS) studies by teachers, researchers, and curriculum developers. However, some educational researchers and scholars have recently expressed serious concerns about the view of tentativeness and change espoused in the science education literature claiming that it is simplistic, one-dimensional, inconsistent, irresponsibly vague, and self-contradictory. Despite these concerns, there are few detailed examples of how these types of problems manifest themselves in the science education literature and the difficulties they might pose for learners and other researchers. Accordingly, this article isolates and critically examines a single foundational proposition about the tentativeness of science made by leading NOS researchers. It is demonstrated that this generalization has some important inconsistencies and limitations that are problematic at the philosophical and instructional level. Throughout the article, it is argued that a logico-linguistic analysis of epistemic propositions made by researchers is desirable in NOS studies and that seemingly benign propositions can give rise to different viable, yet diametrically opposed, interpretive frameworks.

description: Data mining services require accurate input data for their results to be meaningful, but privacy concerns mayinfluence users to provide spurious information. To preserve client privacy in the data mining process, a variety of techniques based on random perturbation of data records have been proposed recently. One known fact which is very important in data mining is discovering the association rules from database of transactions where each transaction consists of set of items. Two important terms support and confidence are associated with each of the association rule. Actually any rule is called as sensitive if its disclosure risk is above a certain privacy threshold. Sometimes we do not want to disclose sensitive rules to the public because of confidentiality purposes. There are many approaches to hide certain association rules which take the support andconfidence as a base for algorithms and many more). The proposed work has the basis of reduction of support and confidence of sensitive rules but this work is not editing or disturbing the given database of transactions directly .The proposed algorithm uses some modified definition of support and confidence so that it would hide any desired sensitive association rule without any side effect. Actually the enhanced technique is using the same method (as previously used method) of getting association rules butmodified definitions of support and confidence are used.
Nature of Science Knowledge and Astronomy Workshops: A Case Study

description: Astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology workshops represent a way for students to better understand the nature of science. In this paper we have analysed the development of this kind of workshop organized in Argentina. This is qualitative, holistic, and interpretive research. We have found this to be a way for students to become aware of modern science and to understand how science is built today, recognizing its daily growth, and it is an introduction to the way science works. Students come to recognize science as developed by humans, an image of science different from the fictional view than that often shown in textbooks and by science teachers.
