One does not approach a challenge with a backward view. Rather, we take on challenges by looking forward. In scholarship, taking a forward view is known as research. Law schools define themselves by their research. Scholarly work is what garners prestige from without and solidarity from within. Without a doubt, teaching itself also ranks highly, but excellent teaching begins with proper research. The connection between research and teaching is indispensable. Teaching flourishes where students are gradually introduced to the processes of research, giving them a feeling for the excitement of scholarly work. This forms the nexus between the older and younger generations of academics, continually opening and reopening their perspectives to innovation and the undiscovered.

ABSTRACT Ellen Gleditsch (1879-1968) became Norway's first authority of radioactivity and the country's second female professor. After several years in international centers of radiochemistry, Gleditsch returned to Norway, becoming associate professor and later full professor of chemistry. Between 1916 and 1946 Gleditsch tried to establish a laboratory of radiochemistry at the University of Oslo, a career which included network building, grant applications, travels abroad, committee work, research, teaching, supervision, popularization, and war resistance work. Establishing a new field was demanding; only under her student, Alexis Pappas, was her field institutionalized at Oslo. This paper presents Gleditsch's everyday life at the Chemistry Department, with emphasis on her formation of a research and teaching laboratory of radiochemistry. Her main scientific work during this period is presented and discussed, including atomic weight determination of chlorine, age calculations in minerals, the hunt for actinium's ancestor and investigations on 40K.

AbstractThe Nunavut Land Claim Agreement commits federal and territorial governments to the recruitment and training of Inuit for positions throughout government. In the justice sector, there is currently a major shortage of Inuit lawyers or future judges. However, there also appears to be a fundamental mismatch between what existing law schools offer and what Inuit students are prepared to accept. A northern-based law school might remedy some of these problems. However, support for a law school requires un-thinking certain key tenets of legal education as we know it in Canada. In particular, it may require a step outside the university-based law school system. Universities appear to be accepted as the exclusive guardian of the concept of academic standards. Admission standards, in particular, serve as both a positivist technology of exclusion, and a political rationale for the persistence of majoritarian institutions as the major means of training members of disadvantaged communities. Distinctive institutions – eventually working with university-based law schools – have the potential to help bridge the education gap between Inuit and other Canadians. In so doing, they have the potential to train a critical mass of Inuit to meaningfully adapt the justice system to become a pillar of the public government in the Inuit homeland of Nunavut.

This paper examines the prevalent notion that that the production of knowledge, academic research and teaching can and ought to be audited and assessed in the same manner as the production of other goods and services. The emphasis on similarities between industry and the academy leads to a neglect of fundamental differences in their aims and, as a consequence, a tendency to evaluate scientific research in terms of patents and product development and colleges and universities in terms of the labour market. The article examines the idea of the free academy, on the one hand, and compares and contrasts it to the idea of free enterprise, on the other. It is argued that the view of the university as a supplier of specific solutions for pre-determined, non-scientific needs (a workforce with skills currently in demand, innovations for commercial partners, justifications for political decisions, etc) undermines the public legitimacy of university science and weakens the fabric of scientific training and practice. The article proposes that the university’s main purpose must be to provide a recognized neutral, autonomous agency of rigorous, disinterested investigation and scientific education, which constitutes a necessary condition for an enlightened liberal democracy: an informed, capable and critical citizenry.

[first paragraph of article]Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), professor of mathematics at the University of Padua from 1592 to 1610, was a pillar in the history of our University and a symbol of freedom for research and teaching, well stated in the university motto ‘‘Universa Universis Patavina Libertas’’ (Total freedom in Padua, open to all the world). He invented the experimental method, based on evidence and calculation (‘‘science is measure’’) and was able, by using the telescope, to confirm the Copernican heliocentric theory, a challenge to the Bible. Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), in his book ‘‘The Problems of Philosophy’’ stated: ‘‘Almost everything that distinguishes modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved the most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century. Together with Harvey, Newton and Keplero, Galileo was a protagonist of this scientific revolution in the late Renaissance’’.

The Relationship

This paper illustrates a case study of teaching and research applied to the abandoned mining landscapes of the Sulcis area, located in the south-east side of Sardinia, one of the poorest in Europe. Although the region’s critical condition in the present, the area is nevertheless extremely rich in fascination and history. It offers unique natural landscapes, mostly pristine, a variety of archeological sites and, as mentioned, the ruins of the mining installations. All of this makes fore-seeable a concrete possibility of regeneration for the area, based on tourism, one of the island primary resources. The local institutions of Sulcis started a partnership with the University of Cagliari aiming to pursuit not just a practical and economical outcome in the immediate present, more a cultural and deeper rescue with a wider perspective. In the following pages, we present our academic activities in this mark and how we managed to guarantee fruitful superpositions of pedagogy, design, and research in our work within this kind of cooperation.Our focus is, therefore, the relationship between researching and teaching activities and the actions in support of the territory, pursued in a joint venture with the political institution. During these experiences, we defined a strategy to intercross these different layers, bringing the real and concrete dimension into our classroom, sharing our work with the students, and, at the same time, transferring the fruits of the teaching experiences to the territory. The correspondence between these two levels is not free of ambiguity and contradictions, however, we are convinced that it might show very important and fruitful outcomes.

ABSTRACTThe following analysis aims to investigate the present and the future of the Ecuadorian university, its relationship to work, citizenship and identity, higher education and learning, knowledge ecologies to link research and teaching in higher education and the pre service education: policies, programs and practices. The information society and knowledge required of citizens better prepared and more committed to the environment in which they live and develop. Aware of this reality, the university must rethink the principles that led to its creation. Moving from theorizing (conceptualization - observation) to the practical (research - reflection – criticality - involvement) valuing and respecting diversity and multiculturalism in tandem to raise awareness on the social responsibility of their knowledge. This rethinking of contemporary university must analyse as proposed by some researchers (Montero, Patricio. 2010) the megas educational trends and challenges for higher education that have implications on key educational decisions related to the relevance and validity of higher education. In particular, for curriculum development, methodologies for both teaching and assessing also the management of teaching. 1.- Globalization marked by the knowledge society. 2.- Training for a highly dynamic interdependent labour structure. 3.- The survival of organizations depends on the knowledge possessed by its staff. 4.- Changes in the design of intelligent behaviour and productivity of people. 5.- Changes on the conception of learning, emphasizing the concern of internal processes of people for learning.RESUMENEl siguiente análisis pretende investigar el presente y el futuro de la universidad ecuatoriana: su vinculación al trabajo, la ciudadanía y la identidad, la enseñanza superior y el aprendizaje, ecologías del conocimiento en cuanto a enlazar la investigación y la docencia en la educación superior, así como el pre servicio de la educación: las políticas, programas y prácticas. La sociedad de la información y el conocimiento requiere de ciudadanos mejor preparados y más comprometidos con el medio en que les toca vivir y desenvolverse. Consciente de esta realidad la universidad debe de replantearse los postulados que la llevaron a su creación. Pasar de la teorización (conceptualización - observación) a la practicidad (inves-tigación – reflexión - criticidad- involucramiento) valorando y respetando la diversidad y la multiculturalidad a la par de concienciar en la responsabilidad social de sus conocimientos. En este replanteo la universidad de hoy debe de analizar, como lo proponen algunos investigadores (Montero, Patricio, 2010) las megas tendencias educativas como desafíos para la educación universitaria que tienen implicaciones en las decisiones educacionales claves vinculadas a la pertinencia y vali-dez de la educación superior. En especial, para el desarrollo curricular, las metodologías tanto para la enseñanza como para la evaluación y para la gestión de la docencia. Cinco son las que se plantean: 1.- La globalización marcada por la sociedad del conocimiento. 2.- Formación para una estructura laboral altamente dinámica e interdependiente. 3.- La super-vivencia de las organizaciones depende centralmente del conocimiento que posee su personal. 4.- Cambios en la concepción de comportamientos inteligentes y la productividad de las personas. 5.- Cambios sobre la concepción del aprendizaje, enfatizando la preocupación de los procesos internos de las personas para el aprendizaje. Contacto principal: [email protected]

This paper presents the scientific and educational activities of Professor Andrzej Jaczewski in the field of training pedagogues in the biological and medical foundations of development and upbringing. These activities were an important part of the concept of comprehensive student care advocated by Professor Jaczewski. His scouting experience, his work as a doctor, a secondary school teacher, or a research and didactic staff member at the Medical Academy and the Institute of Mother and Child at the University of Warsaw, as well as his cooperation with other research and teaching centres in Poland and abroad, played an important role in shaping his views on the training of pedagogues in medical issues. The paper presents the process of implementation and realisation of the subject “Biomedical foundations of development and upbringing” at pedagogical faculties in Poland with particular emphasis on the role of Professor Andrzej Jaczewski in this process. The article discusses activities concerning education in medical issues of the local and nationwide range carried out at the Faculty of Education of the University of Warsaw. Finally, Prof. Jaczewski’s suggestions and dreams concerning the future of the subject “Biomedical foundations of development and upbringing” in the education of pedagogues are referred to.

Principles Of Learning

Over the years that I spent as a co-oper for my three children in this parent co-operative school, I gradually came to understand the philosophy and become part of the structure of this learning community. It took a long time for me to grasp the underlying principles—the “common thread” that weaves through the practices of this community. An understanding of the principles gives participants a basis for knowing what to do, but at the same time, it seems that participating is essential for finding the principles. When I was a new co-oper, my career as a developmental psychologist was largely unrelated to my activities in the classroom. My choice to send my first child to the OC, over a decade ago, was based on the suggestion of a colleague in the psychology department at the University of Utah, who said, “Just think of all the research you can do in the OC!” and talked me into coming to visit his daughter’s classroom. At the time, although I liked what I saw for my daughter, I could see no way that I could make use of the OC as a research site—it didn’t connect with the way I was studying children’s learning. Over time, though, what I learned from the challenges of seeking this program’s principles of learning, in order to participate in it, has transformed my research and scholarly work. It opened my eyes to this way of thinking about learning, which I believe can contribute to advances in developmental and educational research and theory. The program philosophy is apparent in my 1990 book, Apprenticeship in Thinking, though at the time I wrote it I did not recognize the depth of its influence in my work. A key question that perplexed me as I struggled to understand how to participate in a community of learners, as a parent new to the OC, was how adults and children can collaborate in learning. This is a puzzle to many parents as they enter the program; it is also a classic issue in the fields of developmental psychology and education.
