The cultural heritage of the city of Wrocław provides a perfect opportunity to practice educational tourism. It can serve to shape the desirable attitudes of acceptance and tolerance based on closer cognition of diverse cultures. The aim of this chapter is to indicate the tourist potential inherent in the Jewish cultural heritage of Wrocław. The culturally complex history of the city is analyzed, and then the most essential elements of the cultural output of Wrocław are presented in order to better recognize the background of the Jewish heritage. The following step is to locate the presented assets within the operating tourist products fulfilling educational function assumed to be within the city's tourist strategy. The products arise the interest of receivers of any age: from kindergarten children to seniors. Also, in this chapter, the authors observe good practices of the Four Denominations District (depicting a close coexistence of the Jewish heritage and the Christian world – Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox) or the City Museum of Wrocław, with the Old Jewish Cemetery as its division. The pedagogical, training, and cultural educational functions fulfilled with the implementation of the cultural product are emphasized.

Development Practice

Lesson study (LS) is a teachers’ professional development practice with a Japanese origin that, at present, is practiced in more than 30 countries. Literature on LS acknowledges the works of Stigler and Hiebert and of Yoshida in 1999 as the origin of its internationalization. However, earlier studies described its practice and have mostly remained under the radar of LS previous researcher. This historical and documentary literature review sheds light on these previous studies describing LS, analyses their bibliometric relevance, and uncovers the first use of ‘lesson study’ as the terminology adopted in the international literature. Results reveal eight studies clearly describing LS before 1999 and more oblique references in the 1980s. ‘Lesson study’ appeared first in 1997, but we make the case for the previous use of other terminology. Findings also show that only those studies written by authors who later became key in the field of LS have received a high number of citations. These results bring attention to LS-related literature that has infrequently been cited, granting it recognition in the international history of LS, and expanding our current view in relation to its practice.

PurposeThis paper aims to provide an overview of the origins of bansho, how it has developed to be an indispensable practice in Japan and its influence on countries outside Japan. The integration of bansho into lesson study (LS) will also be presented.Design/methodology/approachThis paper draws on the vast literature on bansho from both in and outside Japan to illustrate the points mentioned above.FindingsRecapitulation on the history of chalkboard and bansho in different eras in Japan illustrated its endurance towards the test of time, geographical space and functions. While bansho remains a constant presence in LS research, there has not been any work that outlines how bansho is integrated into the LS cycle. Thus, a guideline on how bansho can be incorporated in the LS cycle is provided.Originality/valueA comprehensive overview of bansho allows educators and researchers outside Japan to move beyond the know-how and know-what of bansho; it would serve as an invaluable source to understand the core concepts underlying this classroom practice, thus avoiding the mere adaptation of bansho superficial aspects. This study also provides precise instruction on how bansho can be integrated into each step of the LS cycle, which will guide teachers and researchers in the future implementation of LS.

Polish Association of Equal Rights for Women (1907–1914) in the Light of Autobiographical Relations, Women’s Press and Feminist Historiography The text investigates the history of the Polish Association of Equal Rights for Women (1907–1914) – one of the first legal feminist organisations in the Kingdom of Poland. The Association was the product of ideological and social clashes within the environment of the emancipationists gathered at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries around Paulina Kuczalska-Reinschmit, the leader of Polish suffragettes. The group was organised around the Women’s Labour Circle attached to The Society for Support of Industry and Trade (1894–1905), and then in the informal Polish Union of Equal Rights for Women. In 1907 the suffragettes formed the Union of Equal Rights for Polish Women, and the proponents of the integration of the fight for gender equality and Polish independence established the Polish Association of Equal Rights for Women. The relations between the Union and the Association were characterised by competition for succeeding in being the first to introduce new ideas into the mainstream and good practices inside the organization.

Set Up

The aim of this study is to stimulate reflections and determine the effects of teaching mathematics by integrating its history through Lesson Study. Lesson Study was utilized as a process to delve into the possible outcomes of incorporating history of mathematics in teaching angle of elevation to 15 freshmen college students taking BS Air Transportation. The researchers followed the three steps in conducting a Lesson Study; planning, implementing, and conducting the post-lesson discussion. The implementation of the lesson and the post-lesson discussion were video and audio recorded which later on transcribed. Three issues in attaining the objectives of the lesson were identified: (1) Being Able to Set-up the Condition and Being Clear with the Instructions (2) Being Realistic with Examples, and (3) Importance of Processing Methodologies, which greatly play an important share on maximizing the learning process and students’ success. Furthermore, feedbacks from the observers and students suggests that using history of mathematics enhanced students’ curiosity about the significance of the lesson in real life. This study may contribute to the advancements of innovative teaching strategies to the rest of educators and researchers.

The Comparative Study

Most port cities have a long history of investment in the waterfront, adapting these spaces to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants and increase the tourist interest of the city, in a 50-year process of waterfront regeneration that started in the late 1960s. Even though one of the drivers of development in today’s port cities continues to be the transfer of knowledge and experiences between different cases, not all these cities have achieved their goals, nor have all done so in a sustainable way. This article exposes a new methodology, motivated by the need to carry out a comparative study of good practices of port–city integration for twelve specific cases. To enable a comparison of intangible realities such as port–city integration, it is mandatory to have a common benchmark to quantify features of cities from different cases. The 3DPortCityMeasure methodology is intended to provide a framework for analysing port-city integration, with results that supply an immediate understanding of each case. This tool enables direct comparative evaluation and provides support for land use planning and urban design approaches. The results show that the proposed approach for measuring intangible factors in the field of the port–city relationship is a very useful tool, novel in this discipline, and fully applicable to other cases and other urban issues.

Crisis In Psychology

There is growing interest and pressure in the social sciences to find ways to address the so-called “replication crisis” in psychology. This includes increasing transparency and good practices in all areas of experimental research, and in particular to promote attempts at replication. Comparative psychology has a long history of efforts to replicate and extend previous research, but it is often difficult to do this when highly specialized methods or uncommon species are being studied. I propose that comparative researchers make greater use of pre-registration as a way to ensure good practices, and I outline some of the ways in which this can be accomplished.

Abstract Growing old with lifelong disabilities is a recent reality that is catching healthcare providers unprepared. While there’s little extant federal or state public policy on aging with lifelong disabilities, and aging, disability, and healthcare systems lack a history of intersystem collaboration, Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEPs) can lead the way in developing curricula, training, policy, and standards to respond. The GWEPs can intervene to create meaningful intersystem knowledge and skills and better prepare providers. Two GWEPs are filling the best practices void, operationalizing de facto public policy and “pretty good” practices to improve care for individuals with lifelong disabilities. In metro Richmond, VA, the GWEP at the Virginia Geriatric Education Center (VGEC) has built on the successful Area Planning and Services Committee on Lifelong Disabilities (APSC) intersystem partnership to provide this expertise. In Rhode Island, the RI Geriatric Education Center (RIGEC) has aligned its GWEP Alzheimer’s disease supplemental funding with other federally funded programs to build dementia capability into the systems that support adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (I/DD). RIGEC incorporated expertise previously gained through the University of Rhode Island’s CMS-funded LivingRIte Innovation, which established pilot centers to support individuals with I/DD living with dementia and other chronic conditions, through novel person-centered approaches. This symposium examines how the two GWEPs expanded upon a foundation of previous efforts to serve older adults with lifelong disabilities, the methods by which they built and fostered effective networks, the resulting system improvements, and suggested strategies to move from “pretty good” to best practices.
