title: Challenge’s of the Consumer Generation: Teaching experiences within the Certificate of University Preparation

authors: Piercy, Gemma Louise

subjects: Certificate of University Preparation

abstract: The University of Waikato’s Certificate of University Preparation (CUP) was offered for the first time in 2000. The purpose of CUP is to provide a second opportunity to students under 20 who failed to gain University Entrance at school. The cohort group has unique needs. The purpose of this paper is to present a case study of my experiences with the first cohort group and the strategies that were developed to meet their needs.

title: The reality of culture in the development of a national special education training initiative

authors: Medcalf, John

subjects: New Zealand special education

abstract: The New Zealand Government is supporting a major new initiative in special education through the creation of a nationwide network of 750 Resource Teachers Learning and Behaviour (RTLB) whose role is to provide specialist mainstreamed services through direct support of teachers working with students who have moderate learning and behaviour difficulties. This paper introduces and discusses the national professional developmental programme for Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour (RTLB).

title: Reliquaries and a Poetic Sensibility

authors: Rinehart, Robert E.

subjects: investigative poetry

abstract: Reliquaries are forms for remembrance, but they are also enactments, processes of just that remembering. In this piece, through five exemplar poems, I examine "reliquary" as noun and "reliquary" as verb.

title: Cooperation in Maori and European children

authors: Vercoe, Glynis Price

subjects: Maori children

abstract: The object of this study is to compare the cooperative behaviour of Maori and European children and to investigate and compare the effects, upon the performance of the two ethnic groups, of working under cooperative conditions and under competitive conditions. Certain differences are expected to exist between the two ethnic groups as a result of the different child rearing practices employed by the Maoris and by the Europeans.

title: Group-delay measurement of frequency-converting devices using a comb generator

authors: Scott, Jonathan B.

subjects: microwave measurements

abstract: We propose a new method for the measurement of (group) delay from the radio-frequency (RF) input to the intermediate-frequency (IF) output of a mixer or a receiver. The method is particularly convenient for measuring the change in group delay with the local-oscillator (LO) tuning frequency of the receiver since the method does not require access to, or even knowledge of, the LO signal. The method employs a calibrated comb (impulse) generator. Other required equipment is limited to a reference signal generator and a digitizer of modest bandwidth, allowing the measurement to rely on a low-frequency generator and an oscilloscope. Simulated and measured data are presented to verify the approach.

title: Re-interpreting old dates: Radiocarbon determinations from the Tokelau Islands (South Pacific)

authors: Petchey, Fiona

subjects: radiocarbon

abstract: A re-evaluation of available archaeological radiocarbon dates from the Tokelau Islands in West Polynesia demonstrates that careful assessment is essential when developing chronologies from previously published radiocarbon data. The new calibration results point to concurrent and continual human occupation of Fakaofo and Atafu from at least 750-550 years ago up until European contact in AD 1765.

title: Will the teacher's laptop transform learning?

authors: Harlow, Ann

subjects: education

abstract: This article explores how Year to 3 teachers have made use of laptops for teaching and learning in their classroom, examining how they fit with current recommendations for effective teaching, and whether teachers' use of a laptop has lead to a transformation in teaching and learning. Findings show that there was an increasing degree of laptop integration into all areas of the curriculum over the three-year evaluation period. It appears that teachers are providing their students with the opportunity to experience transformative learning.

authors: Masters-Awatere, Bridgette

abstract: Within this section, the authors encourage the reader to look back into history and then consider the future. We are invited to re-examine deeds from this country’s past. To immerse ourselves in a narrative that may be different to the one we have been taught in school, or heard among our friends and family. Through their stories we can see multiple narratives. Readers are invited to understand, embrace and own the past. By recognising and accepting the past — our collective histories — we can determine our collective present and future.

title: Travel writing and the first Marists in New Zealand

authors: Jennings, William

subjects: travel writing

abstract: French Marist missionaries arrived in New Zealand in 1838 and travelled extensively throughout the country during the next two decades. The letters they sent to France, now published in Girard's Lettres recues d'Ocanie (2009), include accounts of journeys that reveal the Marists' different perspectives of New Zealand's landscape and inhabitants. French romanticism and their religious vows emphasised a spiritual connection with the landscape, in sharp contrast with prevailing utilitarian European views. The Marists' status as Frenchmen in a British colony meant they encountered two alterities: British and Maori. Influenced by the noble savage of the French Romantics and by anti-Protestant bias, the Marists portrayed Maori favourably, reserving their more hostile comments for the British missionaries.

title: Conscious enterprise emergence: Shared value creation through expanded conscious awareness

authors: Pavlovich, Kathryn

subjects: conscious enterprise

abstract: We propose conscious awareness as a mechanism for creating "shared value"; a form of value that Porter describes as putting social and community needs before profit. We explore the mechanism empirically in an entrepreneurial context and find that spiritual practices increase conscious awareness which, in turn, shapes entrepreneurial intentions and venture characteristics focused on shared value.

title: A simple approach to ordinal classification.

authors: Frank, Eibe

subjects: Machine learning

abstract: Machine learning methods for classification problems commonly assume that the class values are unordered.  However, in many practical applications the class values do exhibit a nature order, for example, when learning how to grade.  The standard approach to ordinal classification converts the class value into numeric quantity and applies a regression learner to the transformed data, translating the output back into a discrete class value in a post-processing step.  A disadvantage of this method is that it can only be applied in conjunction with a regression scheme.
In this paper we present a simple method that enables standard classification algorithms to make use of ordering information in class attributes.  By applying it in conjunction with a decision tree learner we show that it outperforms the naïve approach, which treats the class values as an unordered set.  Compared to special-purpose algorithms for ordinal classification our method has the advantage that it can be applied without any modification to the underlying learning scheme.
