The Relationship

Sensory and sensorimotor gating deficits characterize both Tourette syndrome (TS) and schizophrenia. Premonitory urges (PU) in TS can be assessed with the University of Sao Paulo Sensory Phenomena Scale (USP-SPS) and the Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale (PUTS). In 40 subjects (TS: n = 18; healthy comparison subjects [HCS]: n = 22), we examined the relationship between PU scores and measures of sensory gating using the USP-SPS, PUTS, Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI), and Structured Interview for Assessing Perceptual Anomalies (SIAPA), as well symptom severity scales. SGI, but not SIAPA, scores were elevated in TS subjects (p < 0.0003). In TS subjects, USP-SPS and PUTS scores correlated significantly with each other, but not with the SGI or SIAPA; neither PU nor sensory gating scales correlated significantly with symptom severity. TS subjects endorse difficulties in sensory gating and the SGI may be valuable for studying these clinical phenomena.

The interview with Professor Maria Beatriz Borba Florenzano of the Museum of Archeology and Ethnology of the University of São Paulo (MAE-USP), discusses the professional and academic career and the transition of her object of study made between numismatics and the ancient city. The interview highlights the history and importance of the Labeca laboratory in achieving the research objectives. The interview also focuses on the new perspectives and contributions of history and archeology that reveal the complexity and diversity of ancient Greek cities, beyond Athenocentrism and concepts of polis, city-state, colony and periphery. Finally, Maria Beatriz Borba Florenzano considers the relationship and importance of these debates in contemporary Brazil, also speaking also about the reception of the MAE exhibition “A Pólis: viver na cidade grega”.

ABSTRACTThe article seeks to demonstrate the relationship between project theory and design practice in the course of Architecture and Urbanism at the University Anhembi Morumbi - São Paulo - Brazil from the application of the Theory of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in order to understand the interrelationship between teaching, research and extension. As a case study we opted for an architectural and urban project, called Boulevard Immigration which is being developed by students and teachers in the Model Office of Architecture and Urbanism at the University Anhembi Morumbi in partnership with Immigration Museum in São Paulo. The importance of this theme is to promote a debate on the relationship between theory and practice in the development of education in Architecture and Urbanism courses, stimulating critical, creative, collaborative and reflective student formation. As investigative procedure method was chosen a bibliographic exploratory research on the Project-Based Learning as a teaching tool that encourages the development of reflection, collaboration and responsibility with social manners and democratic behavior. As final considerations it is clear that the application of PBL provides the students and teachers a set of tools that stimulates the relationship between theory and practice in teaching and learning.RESUMOO artigo visa demonstrar a relação entre teoria e prática projetual no curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Uni-versidade Anhembi Morumbi- São Paulo- Brasil, a partir da aplicação da Teoria do Aprendizado Orientado ao Projeto (AOP) visando compreender a inter-relação entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Como estudo de caso optou-se por um projeto arquitetônico/urbanístico, denominado de Boulevard Imigração que está sendo desenvolvido por alunos e auxiliados por professores no Escritório Modelo de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Anhembi Morumbi em parceria com técnicos do Museu da Imigração, em São Paulo. A importância deste tema é de promover um debate sobre a relação entre teoria e prática no desenvolvimento do ensino nos cursos de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, estimulando a formação crítica, criativa, colaborativa e reflexiva do estudante. Como método de procedimento investigativo optou-se por uma pesquisa exploratória bibliográfica sobre o Aprendizado Orientado ao Projeto como um instrumento de ensino que estimula o desenvolvimento da reflexão, da colaboração e da responsabilidade com modos sociais e democráticos de comportamento. Como considerações finais percebe-se que a aplicação da Teoria AOP fornece à discente e docentes um conjunto de ferramentas que estimula a relação entre teoria e prática no ensino e aprendizagem. Contato principal: [email protected]

Computer Programming forms the basis from which most students in the IS/IT discipline launch themselves into further endeavors in the discipline. However, statistical analysis of students performances in programming related assessments tasks reveals that the mastery of computer programming skills is not easily acquired. This assertion is supported by the reports of high failure rates in programming courses at several academic institutes. This trend is also confirmed at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) where programming related assessments have resulted in failure rates as high as 50%. The study encompasses a hybrid model consisting of a semi-structured interview and an error analysis of student responses in a programming examination. Students were grouped into cognitive level 1, 2 and 3. A qualitative theoretical framework of Piaget and error classification using Naidoo (1996) The results indicate that cognitive group 1 exhibited the most structural errors whilst the cognitive group 3 exhibited the least structural errors. .

The study was conducted in the educational sector in the city of Erbil, in order to obtain the necessary information for the field through a questionnaire prepared for this purpose and distributed to six universities. The number of respondents was (73) (Presidents of universities, their assistants, deans, their assistants, heads of departments) at the universities in question. The value of the study: The main conclusions of the study are the existence of a significant relationship between the variables of the study and the existence of a significant effect of the independent variable marketing of university services and the leading trend in the dependent variable universities reputation and the existence of variation of the effect of independent variables in the dependent variable in the universities investigated, A set of recommendations, the most important of which is the establishment of a center for the marketing of services at the university level and at the level of each college.

To assess the progressive teaching practicums included in an English Teaching Programme at a Chilean university, 60 former student-teachers answered a questionnaire with both Likert-scale and open-ended questions. The issues assessed included the relationship between the progressive teaching practicums and the curriculum’s modules and sequence, and the skills developed while implementing innovation projects during the student-teachers’ two final practicums. Quantitative and qualitative data analyses allowed us to identify both strengths and weaknesses. The participants highlighted strengths in the areas of teaching strategies, critical thinking skills and professional and pedagogical knowledge. Among the weaknesses, they identified limited supervision and feedback, and diverging views on teaching education between the university and the schools as the most difficult to deal with. These findings may be useful for introducing improvements in Initial Teacher Education aimed at reducing problems and discrepancies and devising suitable induction processes.
