College Work

It has generally happened in the past that teachers of elementary mathematics have had little or no acquaintance with what is generally called the higher mathematics. Even when a boy went to college he promptly forgot his elementary mathematics, and if by chance he became a teacher in the secondary schools there was no one to advise with him on means of applying what he had learned to the work in hand. Necessarily he drifted into the stereotyped manner of teaching the subject and his college work was only a pleasant memory. The college teachers were often recruited from men who naturally had very little knowledge of the problems of elementary education. Very few would have been able to grasp the point of view of the youthful mind: many were thoroughly ingrossed in their subject and had found ideals of rigidity of statement and proof as far beyond the ken of the elementary schools as they were in advance of the notions of those who intuitively founded the subject wiser than they knew.

I feel that I should explain to you that my acquaintance with the work of the secondary schools is entirely second hand and it may be that my ideas on the subject of graphics in secondary work are colored by what I may wish were possible instead of being entirely true to the facts. In my own experience as an instructor of freshmen I have found but little evidence indicating previous instruction in graphics and frequently the subject is thrust suddenly upon a freshman by the immediate needs of his college work. In many cases it is looked upon as only another novelty introduced to make college mathematics a thing to be dreaded and avoided if possible. I assume that it is proper for an instructor in first-year college work to expect a greater or less degree of familiarity with graphics on the part of incoming students and from this standpoint consider the question as to what may be gained by the study of graphics in connection with all branches of elementary mathematics. The subject should appeal to teachers of mathematics for at least three reasons, first, it is the simplest of our many symbolisms for magnitudes and in the order of nature precedes all the others: second, it often appeals to certain pupils who would otherwise be uninterested: third it affords connecting links among all branches of mathematics.

The background of this study is to examine the profile of child terrorist and the motivation behind the crime of terrorism in children by using child development theory and sosial ecology theory. This research is a qualitative study using a phenomenology approach. The phenomenology approach aims to describe the meaning of the life experience of a terrorist child so that the level of belief or paradigm of the terrorist child changes, so to learn and understand it must be based on the point of view of a terrorist child as a subject who directly experiences the incident. The subject of this research is a child who commits a terrorist crime. Data collection techniques by conducting deep interviews, observation and documentation study. This research was conducted at the Juvenile Penitentiary Class I Tangerang (LPKA). The results of this study indicate that the profile picture of a child terrorist can be assessed based on the child's speaking style, behavior, motivation, beliefs, and experiences in the past. The main factor for a child committing a terrorist crime comes from the lack of figures and supervision from parents in their teens so that children look for other figures to be used as examples.

In this article the author discusses the teaching of history in Iceland, first and foremost in relation to the environment in which the subject finds itself, the legislation relating to it and the curriculum. Curriculum development over the past decades is examined, in addition to changes in teaching material and the general attitudes that have influenced both of these from the time of the struggle for national independence in the former half of the twentieth century. There is a discussion of the disputes that have arisen as a result of tampering with the curriculum and teaching material in history in recent years, both when new emphases were introduced in the eighties and when history teaching in upper secondary schools was substantially reduced with the new curriculum in 1999. Considerable attention is given to history teaching in upper secondary schools, despite there being a dearth of research at this level. There is quite a degree of evidence that history is popular amongst Icelandic students and the public at large. In this article, an attempt is made to analyse the state of history as a school subject in Iceland, not least in the light of the extensive freedom enjoyed by teachers in their jobs, bearing in mind that there are no standardized exams in the subject and no supervision of teaching methods. At present there is a review of the curricula at all school levels in Iceland and the future of history as a subject is therefore rather uncertain.

This work reconstructs opinions concerning national education in independent Poland presented in 1916-1918 in the magazine titled Szkoła Polska (Polish School) – a body of a local division of Stowarzyszenie Nauczycielstwa Polskiego (Polish Teachers’ Association) in Lublin. The main goal of education was understood as instilling patriotism in the young generation of Poles based on their own most valuable achievements rather than on remembrance of injuries and persecution suffered at the hands of the enemy. It was believed that the memory of the past should be cherished, yet it could not dominate the present and the future. It was demanded that 7-year obligatory elementary schools should be established as well as 4-year secondary schools and 3-4-year occupational schools. What was deemed important was the need to involve illiterate adults in mandatory schooling and to provide additional education to graduates. It was maintained that the reborn Polish education system should be open to the latest pedagogical trends and, most of all, it should replace verbalism and teaching from books with teaching through experience. It was the teachers that were supposed to guarantee good education of children and teenagers, as they were active, creative, independent, had requisite professional qualifications, and were willing to self-educate.

The Subject

The author is a scholar of teaching practice and also an elementary mathematics teacher. Her work, like that of her colleagues at the Institute for Research on Teaching, focuses on teaching practice from the point of view of the practitioner. Here, in two case studies, she views the teacher as dilemma manager, a broker of contradictory interests, who "builds a working identity that is constructively ambiguous." To emphasize her conviction that teaching work is deeply personal, the author makes herself the subject of one of these studies. She concludes with an examination of how her view contrasts with prevalent academic images of teachers' work.

The Way

The humour of the passage in the Frogs (1419 ff.), in which the tragic poets reply with riddles on burning political issues, is explicable: research on the Eumenides shows that in this play Aeschylus projected political notions in much the way that he is presented by Aristophanes speaking in the Frogs: concentrating the attention of the spectator on the past of the Areopagus and on the circumstance of its foundation, he touches directly on the question which arose in 462–1 through the abolition of the political competence of this body, but he replies to it through a parable which is enigmatic for us. It is obviously such an expression as this that Aristophanes had in mind. It rests with philological and historical criticism to show whether in surviving tragedies other than Eumenides themes of an immediate public interest are put forward under the cover of myth, themes which, through ignorance of the date or of the exact conditions of the composition of the plays, have so far not been revealed. This essay examines from this point of view the Danaid tetralogy of Aeschylus.The subject of the Danaid tetralogy is taken from the story of Danaos and his daughters. For this, Aeschylus could draw on both a literary source, the Danais, and probably also on Argive traditions.Very little is known about the Danais. It did, however, include an account of the events which took place in Egypt between the houses of Danaos and Aigyptos, and it is likely, therefore, that it traced the course of this quarrel from the beginning.

Представлен анализ станковой сюжетной композиции монтажного типа с точки зрения системного подхода на примере работ известных художников прошлого и произведений современных авторов, в том числе обучающихся художественных школ и вузов. Станковая сюжетная композиция монтажного типа исследована с позиций системного подхода, выявлены закономерности построения станковой композиции как системы через инструменты системного подхода. Использование этих закономерностей в обучении станковой композиции как детей, так и взрослых способно привести к качественно новому уровню усвоения знаний и приобретению навыков. Описаны принципы работы над станковой сюжетной композицией (в том числе и монтажной) с применением системного подхода в рамках обучения изобразительному искусству. Доказано, что композиция – целая система, всегда предполагающая замкнутость и завершенность, а ее элементы всегда фиксированы. Все элементы композиции связаны единством смыслов, без которого композиция невозможна. Композиция выступает как система внутренних связей, объединяющая все компоненты формы и содержания в единое целое. Практическая значимость исследования просматривается в области преподавания композиции в художественных и общеобразовательных школах, профильных вузах и ссузах. The article presents an analysis of the easel plot composition of the assembling type from the point of view of a systematic approach on the example of the works by famous artists of the past and works by modern authors, including learners of art schools and universities. The easel plot composition of the assembling type was investigated from the points of view of the system approach, the laws of constructing the easel composition as a system through the tools of the system approach were revealed. The use of these patterns in training the easel composition of both children and adults can lead to a qualitatively new level of assimilation and acquisition of skills. The principles of work on the easel plot composition (including assembling) with the application of a systematic approach in the framework of teaching fine art are described. It has been proved that the composition is a whole system, always assuming closure and completeness, and its elements are always fixed. All elements of the composition are connected by the unity of meanings, without which the composition is impossible. The composition acts as a system of internal bonds, combining all the components of the form and content into a single whole. The practical significance of the study is visible in the field of teaching composition in art and general education schools, specialized universities and secondary schools.

The Subject

This paper is motivated by the Regulation of the Governor of East Java Number 19 of 2014 about the subject of local language as a local content that is required to be taught in elementary schools/madrasah, Madura and Javanese language. In the regulation, Using language is not included as one of the local contents. Meanwhile, the Local Regulation of Banyuwangi stated that Using language should be thought in elementary schools and junior high schools since 2007. It certainly caused paradox between the Regulation of the Governor and the Local Regulation of Banyuwangi Regency. This paper highlights how Using Bayuwangi language has high language vitality and is able to accommodate with other languages (i.e. Gintangan Village, Rogojampi District, Banyuwangi). The ability of Using language to survive within the society obviously draws questions as to why the Regulation of the Governor is unable to observe from the ethics and emic point of views. The ethics point of view mostly theoretically, which is probably temporary and needed to be verified, while the emic point of view tends to be practical, historical and concrete. A compromised solution may needed to be sought, for example only languages that are truly maintained by its people and proved to have high ethnolinguistic vitality that should be preserved, while others probably should be sacrificed. ABSTRAK Makalah ini bertolak pada Peraturan Gubernur Jawa Timur Nomor 19 tahun 2014 tentang mata pelajaran bahasa daerah sebagai muatan lokal wajib diajarkan sekolah/madrasah yaitu bahasa daerah Madura dan bahasa Jawa. Di dalam Peraturan Gubernur Jawa Timur tersebut Bahasa Using tidak diikutsertakan dalama muatan lokal tersebut. Sementara itu, Peraturan Daerah Banyuwangi yang memberlakukan bahasa daerah Using diajarkan di SD dan SMP sejak tahun 2007. Hal ini tentunya timbul paradoks di dalam Peraturan Gubernur dan Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Banyuwangi. Tulisan ini menyoroti bagaimana bahasa Using Banyuwangi memiliki vitalitas bahasa yang tinggi dan mampu berakomodasi dengan bahasa di luar bahasa Using (sampel Desa Gintangan, Kecamatan Rogojampi, Banyuwangi). Kemampuan bahasa Using yang dapat bertahan di masyarakatnya tersebut tentunya memunculkan pertanyaan mengapa Peraturan Gubernur tidak melihat dari sudut pandangan etik dan emik dalam bahasa. Pandangan etik lebih banyak bersifat teoretis, masih bersifat sementara dan perlu diuji kebenarannya. Sementara pandangan emik lebih bersifat praktis, kesejarahan, dan kenyataan yang konkret. Untuk itu perlu dicari penyelesaian kompromistis, hanya bahasa yang benar-benar dipelihara oleh masyarakatnya, yang terbukti vitalitas etnolinguisnya tinggi, dan yang perlu dilestarikan.

Shed Light

Point of View I am a white, mother of three children, and the product of a progressive elementary education. I have worked as a qualitative educational researcher for the past 25 years in the areas of equity and arts-integrated and student-centered practices in K-12 education. My experiences have shaped my worldview and deep concern with the ways our current system is damaging the humanity of all our children, particularly our most disenfranchised. My race, socio-economic status, and education have afforded me tremendous privilege and access to resources and advantage. I seek to use my privilege to shed light on what is possible and to show how we can envision a more hopeful, positive, and loving world for young people that truly nurture their spirits, hearts, and minds. Value of Submission The future of our planet depends upon an engaged, compassionate, brave and thoughtful citizenry. We are not currently on a trajectory to meeting those needs as far too many of our children are stuck in a broken system intended to feed our commerce-based economy rather than nurture our collective humanity. This visioning piece is designed to serve as an inspiration and call to action to do better by our children, especially those most underserved, undervalued and squashed by the inequities in our society.

Present Section

The purpose of the presented study is to analyze the social representations about the information security of children and adolescents in groups of teachers. The study is based on the ideas of the social representations theory, in particular, on the connection between social practices and social representations. The object of the study was teachers of secondary schools, the sample was 102 people aged 22 to 65 years, (M = 39.36 years, SD = 11.12 years, 91 women and 11 men). As a matter of the experience of schoolchildren all respondents were divided into three groups: teachers of children, teachers of adolescents, teachers of children and adolescents. The subject of the study was to reveal the specificity of the representations of teachers about the information security of children and adolescents. The supposed to revel the specificity of the representations as a matter of experience with schoolchildren of various ages. To test the assumptions, a questionnaire was developed, it consisted of 6 parts: In the first part, respondents were asked to evaluate this or that type of information, in terms of the threat it poses to the safety of children and adolescents. In the next four parts of the questionnaire, respondents were asked to answer questions of so-called «vignettes» (hypothetical situations), in each case it was necessary to propose a plan of action in the situation. The last part contained socio-demographic issues. As the volume of the article is limited, the present section discusses the results of the threat assessment and two hypothetical situations out of four.
