This chapter examines in further detail the practical work undertaken by the early piano soloist within the piece, David Tudor. It details the work he undertook to realise the piece for performance in three separate versions, which function in three separate contexts: with orchestra, as a part of Cage’s piece ‘Indeterminacy’, and alongside choreography. The chapter also discusses the additional frames in which the piece might be read when it is thought of in the context of that choreography, Merce Cunningham’s Antic Meet.

Individual Risk Factors

This study monitored the evolution of psychologists' (n = 31) conceptions of suicide prevention over the 9-year course of the National Suicide Prevention Project in Finland and assessed the feasibility of the theoretical model for analyzing suicide prevention developed in earlier studies [ Upanne, 1999a , b ]. The study was formulated as a retrospective self-assessment where participants compared their earlier descriptions of suicide prevention with their current views. The changes in conceptions were analyzed and interpreted using both the model and the explanations given by the subjects themselves. The analysis proved the model to be a useful framework for revealing the essential features of prevention. The results showed that the freely-formulated ideas on prevention were more comprehensive than those evolved in practical work. Compared to the earlier findings, the conceptions among the group had shifted toward emphasizing a curative approach and the significance of individual risk factors. In particular, greater priority was focused on the acute suicide risk phase as a preventive target. Nonetheless, the overall structure of prevention ideology remained comprehensive and multifactorial, stressing multistage influencing. Promotive aims (protective factors) also remained part of the prevention paradigm. Practical working experiences enhanced the psychologists' sense of the difficulties of suicide prevention as well as their criticism and feeling of powerlessness.

Theoretical Perspectives

Is it possible to speak of conceptual conjunctions between Fritz Morgenthaler and Jacques Lacan? This question is explored in relation to the practical work of an analyst as she engages with their – at once completely different and yet complementary – theoretical perspectives. Both emphasize the active, demanding-desiring position of the analyst while simultaneously refusing any metapsychologically oriented interpretive technique. Both criticize the normative, denigrating impetus of too much psychoanalytic thinking, especially in the context of developmental psychology and pathologizing doctrine. They warn against too-certain knowledge on the analyst's part. Both emphasize primary-process drive-strivings and the emancipatory possibilities of psychoanalysis – as they both also attend particularly to the formal aspects of the analysand's speech.

Development Of Students

The purpose of this study is to create students’ worksheet based on characters through scientific approach of statistical fluid material, to examine the feasibility of worksheet according for experts, teachers and students, to investigate the effectiveness of  the development of students' character and skills of the students in doing practical work after using worksheet. This research uses design R & D with model Dick and Carey. The research procedure includes four stages, which is analizing, designing, creating, and evaluating stage. The feasibility of worksheet was examined using a questionaire. Based on the result questionaire validity tested by the experts, the worksheet was declared to be valid and it is apliable to be used and tested,, whereas the response of the teachers and students about the worksheet, it stated that the worksheet categorized as a very good one. Meanwhile the data of character development and students skill on doing practical work that gained from the observation sheet. Analysis of the character development shows that the character of the students are in the category began to evolve become as a habit (culture of the students), while the influence of worksheet to the students’ skill on doing practical are in good criteria.

Quasi Experiment Study

Students nowadays grow up with electronic devices and are adept at navigating the virtual world. Practical activities may be more of a novelty for them than simulations. Using the topic of electric circuits as a context, we examined the ways in which Grade 11 students perceived and learned from practical work and simulations, respectively. In this quasi-experiment study, a group of 19 students used a free online simulations package “Circuit Construction Kit,” while another group of 17 students learnt through practical work. We administered a validated instrument to both groups and found that practical work and simulations supported students’ learning in similar ways. The interventions were then reversed so that all participants experienced both practical work and simulations. Finally, seven students from each group were selected for a group interview. Through the interviews, we identified features of simulations and practical work respectively that students believed contributed to their learning.

Animal Preparation

Summary The teaching objectives of practical pharmacology classes are defined as being: 1. illustration and exemplification of drug effects; 2. acquisition of general laboratory skills and manual dexterity; 3. acquisition of specific skills required in practical pharmacology, and 4. development of a flexible and self-reliant approach to practical work. The properties of a typical computer simulation of an animal preparation are described and the ability of simulations to help students attain the above teaching objectives is discussed. It is concluded that simulations can help students achieve some of these teaching objectives and could be used extensively instead of animals for some, but not all, groups of students. Lack of cost-effectiveness and the restricted availability of suitable computer programs are major reasons why simulations are not used widely in areas where they could help students attain appropriate teaching objectives.
