Weed science has been and will continue to be an evolving discipline. The evolution and future of weed science will depend greatly on our visions of the future and our willingness to effect and implement change. Thus, the principal question we must ask ourselves is, what do we want weed science to be in the future? This paper, which is only one part of the symposium on the Future of Weed Science, will address the issues involved with teaching. This requires identification of future students and employers, their educational needs based on professional goals, and packaging and presenting the information. Most future agriculture undergraduates and weed science graduate students will need to be recruited, will have minimal background in agriculture, and will include more minorities and women than in the past. We will offer a more interdisciplinary and internationalized curriculum to future students. The curriculum will include traditional courses with greater emphasis on communication skills, business and economics, computer science, agricultural ethics, and interpersonal skills. Courses will be taught to future students by a regional teaching concept that uses electronic media. Teaching and learning about weed science in the future will be exciting, challenging, and unquestionably different from today.

Kazakhstan’s recent history has transitioned from that of nomadic clans to domination by Russia to today’s independent nation. During these 20 years of independence, universities often educate leaders by translating and adapting traditionally Western models and research instruments. This article will report the findings of three such instruments on leadership, career management, and stress tolerance that were administered to graduate students at the University of International Business in Kazakhstan within the past year and consider their importance for the future of leadership development that is rich with technology.

Integrate Teaching

Learning history is closely related with the life of humans in the past, at present, and in the future. Basically, history is a continuous dialogue between the past, the present, and the future. The purpose of this study is to integrate teaching and learning local history with national history (moment). The students are expected to know the local heroes who fought not only for their country but also in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency. Local heroes have the good character which can adapted in students life. To explore the character values, this research used naturalistic method (natural setting), it is also known as qualitative approach. The result of observation and interviews show that the learners understand the character of heroic event of the struggle of people against colonialism. From this research it can be concluded that the cultivation of values of local history is closely related with the values of national history, which is very important to improve patriotism of the learners. Thus the development of the values derived from the view of life and the values found in local residence (region).Keywords: history, local, learning, character

Anders Högberg is a Swedish archaeologist whose research offers an original perspective on prehistoric flint technology but he has also been directing some innovative projects in archaeological teaching and learning. In this interview I am exploring some of the ideas that have been guiding his work in both realms. Although part of the interview is about work conducted in the past, equal weight is given to new opportunities and developments that affect the future of archaeology. Anders Högberg's ideas cannot be said to be typical or representative for any larger community, but he is operating in very specific historic circumstances that are shared to a greater or lesser extent by many other archaeologists living and working today. This interview documents the particular views on material culture, public archaeology, and the field of archaeology more generally that were held by one European archaeologist in 2008.

The Future

In this paper, I invite you into some considerations of what autoethnography might do in research, what it might teach us as researchers. In doing so, I return to an autoethnographic study I engaged in a few years ago which was contoured through the question: How do teachers experience student voice pedagogies? In that study, I experienced autoethnography as a creative methodology that allowed me to go back to two experiences I had with youth, or student voice projects. The paper embodies a return to the autoethnographic study of my doctoral research, which itself was a return to the previously experienced student voice projects; a return that is being propelled by my new position as a professor, supervising students in the mappings of their research landscapes. Returning, thus, becomes a central motif that invites dwelling in the simultaneity of pastpresentfuture – wherein the present is the folding in of the past and the future through attuning to embodied ways of knowing, sensing, being, and doing -- disrupting colonial epistemological legacies of progress and linearity found in conventional and taken-for-granted research practices. I ask, what does it mean to go back, in efforts oriented towards a future (such as social justice)? What might it mean to conceptualize time differently within our research, teaching, and learning? I argue that autoethnography, when engaged through an active nomadism, opens space for learning about our research practices, ourselves as researchers and pedagogues, as well as deeper understandings of our research topics.

The Impact

British Agriculture has existed for at least a thousand years, and it would require a book to record the major developments in weed control. My concern today is with the events of the past 25 years during which weed control has become established as a science, and herbicides have been given a widespread introduction. I hope to set these events against a historical background as they relate to Great Britain, and thereafter, to draw out some thoughts on the impact that modern weed science is making and will make in the future on crop production and land use.

Epistemological Pluralism

Abstract: We currently live in digital times, with educators increasingly coming to realise the need to prepare students to productively participate in such a coding-infused society. Computational Th inking (CT) has emerged as an essential skill in this regard. As with any new skill, the ways it is theorised and practiced vary greatly. In this paper, we argue for the importance of Unplugged Programming (UP) as a hands-on and practical approach to teaching and learning, which emphasises embodied and distributed cognition. UP has the potential to open up what it means to enact CT in the classroom when computational devices are put to the side. Preparing for the issues of the future is a matter of reconnecting with the past, in particular with ideas such as epistemological pluralism. By appreciating the diversity of ways that students can undertake CT and teachers can support them in doing so – from coding with digital devices to pencil-and-paper programming – we can work to make the classroom a place in which students can explore and undertake CT in rich and diverse ways.

Market Driven

The world of librarianship has undergone a sea change in its understanding of itself and of its role as a contributor to scholarship, teaching and learning during the past twenty years. It now seems poised to facilitate the opening of new vistas on future knowledge access and interpretation. It has become a leading force in the evolution of new intellectual landscapes while at the same time becoming ever more conscious of its traditional custodial role in preserving the media of knowledge transmission. There are so many facets of change taking place, so much research, so many reports, so many scholars and so many commercial companies contributing to create the knowledge society; a knowledge economy. So much of the language and culture of the knowledge society is derived from the world of commerce. Its evolution seems to be more and more market driven. But what might happen if knowledge was no longer the focus of the marketplace? Would production cease? This paper speculates about such a future and the knowledge landscape which might emerge.
