Silver Lining

When the COVID-19 pandemic closed her university campus, Jamie Hipp had to move her popular arts integration class for preservice teachers to a virtual format. She was surprised to learn that her students wanted more than regular sessions during their scheduled class times; they wanted additional opportunities for “real teacher talk” about going on interviews, setting up a classroom, and other practical matters that weren’t being covered in their preservice program. Hipp set up a series of virtual sessions on topics of interest to students, in addition to regular class sessions. The sessions went so well that Hipp intends to continue having them, even after the pandemic is over and her campus reopens.

Interpretive Flexibility

The article examines science-policy conversations mediated by social science in attempts to govern, or set up terms for, scientific research. The production of social science research accounts about science faces challenges in the domains of emerging technosciences, such as nano. Constructing notions of success and failure, participants in science actively engage in the interpretation of policy notions, such as the societal relevance of their research. Industrial engagement is one of the prominent themes both in policy renditions of governable science, and in the participants’ attempts to achieve societally relevant research, often oriented into the future. How do we, as researchers, go about collecting, recording, and analyzing such future stories? I examine a series of recent interviews conducted in a number of US universities, and in particular at a university campus on the West Coast of the United States. The research engages participants through interviews, which can be understood as occasions for testing the interpretive flexibility of nano as “good” scientific practice and of what counts as societal relevance, under what circumstances and in view of what kind of audiences.

Set Up

Connecting data and chance is fundamental in statistics curricula. The use of software like TinkerPlots can bridge both worlds because the TinkerPlots Sampler supports learners in expressive modeling. We conducted a study with elementary preservice teachers with a basic university education in statistics. They were asked to set up and evaluate their own models with TinkerPlots by using a real and open dataset they were given. In this article we present students’ processes of setting up and evaluating their models and focus on their reasoning during this process.

The Virtual World is a technology that has created countless opportunities for teaching and learning, innovating traditional and online education, and promoting a more sustainable and accessible education. Through their avatars and digital representations, students can navigate, observe, and manipulate virtual objects, while interacting with their classmates inside the simulated 3D environment. This study examined how preservice teachers experience and participate in a VW that simulates a university campus, considering three main components: interactivity, sense of presence, and state of flow. A total of 103 pedagogy students, enrolled in an educational technology course, participated in the study. A postintervention survey was implemented, as well as a self-report about the immersive experience. The results show a high level of agreement with the survey’s affirmations, which allows for the determination of the favorable levels of interactivity, presence, and flow, as well as the meaningful and positive associations among these technological properties. Guidelines are argued to deepen the Virtual World’s potential and are given for the design of pedagogical activities in those environments.

<p>This study is an attempt to examine classroom interaction which specifies teacher and student talk in International Class Program (ICP) at non-English departments at State Islamic University Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. ICP class is different from regular class in which English and Arabic are used as medium of instruction in the teaching and learning process. This study is intended to answer two questions: (1) What categories of teacher talk are used by the teacher in giving stimuli in the process of teaching and learning? and (2) How do the students respond to the teacher’s instruction in the process of teaching and learning? The subjects of the study are the teacher and the students in ICP class. The data are elicited through non-participant observation, interview with the teacher and the students, field notes and recording of utterances between the teacher and the students. Data are analyzed using the ‘interaction model’ of Miles and Huberman, following FLINT system. This article reports the results of the analysis of classroom interaction that focuses on teacher and student talk in ICP class.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>classroom interaction, teacher and student talk, ICP class</em><em> <strong></strong></em></p>

What might become if teachers were asked to view themselves as curators? And, in turn, in what ways might curatorial work draw attention to how analytic spaces are continuously created as teachers and teacher educators move through pedagogical and research processes? This paper extends an invitation for readers to engage with curatorial impulses (Hofsess, 2015, 2016, forthcoming) and co-curatorial moments (Thiel, forthcoming) as living/aesthetic analysis by remixing a series of constructs and technologies explored by a cohort of preservice teachers. Finding inspiration in Nordstrom’s (2017) antimethodology, the authors grapple with how curating might set up “conditions of possibility” (Barad, 2007) that offer a new way to engage in the theoretical work of qualitative inquiry—a way that begins to invite the student, the art material, the political, the affectual, etc., into the entanglement of theorizing from the start because they were always, already there to begin with.

Choral Rehearsal

The purpose of this study was to examine and compare self-estimates, peer estimates, and actual time preservice teachers spent talking in rehearsal. Participants ( N = 32) conducted a short choral rehearsal and estimated their teacher talk (expressed as a percentage of total rehearsal time). Their peers also reported estimates, and the researchers took data on actual time. Later, participants observed themselves on video and used stopwatches to compute teacher talk percentages on the same session. Participants then conducted a second rehearsal and again estimated their teacher talk percentage. Results indicated that by the second rehearsal, participants reduced their teacher talk by about half, and their estimates became closer to actual time. Significant differences were discovered between all estimates from the first rehearsal and the second rehearsal. Self-analysis through videotapes appears to be a useful tool for reducing teacher talk and increasing estimation accuracy.

China FSAE race introduced formula racing gradually in the university campus in order to make FSAE racing have better ride comfort, handling and stability. Design and strength analysis of FSAE suspension were also proposed. Firstly, according to the whole layout of FSAE racing, the suspension mode was selected, both front and rear suspension were unequal push rod type double wishbone independent suspensions. Secondly, the main parameters and the orientation structure of the front and rear suspension were preliminarily designed. The wheels alignment parameters were selected with all kinds of stiffness, damping coefficient, followed by cross arm length calculation. According to the design parameters, suitable rim and shock absorber were chosen to determine the structure of the suspension’s main components . Thirdly, the front and rear suspension models were set up by the SolidWorks 3D software. Finally, the analysis of static stress on the main components of FSAE racing using the simulation module was performed to form the car suspension system so that it meets the design requirements of the FSAE regulations. This paper could provide references for the real vehicle development.

Perceptions Of Teachers

The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions of teachers, ensemble members, and outside observers when evaluating the effectiveness of rehearsals conducted with reduced amounts of verbal instruction. Preservice teachers led choral rehearsals employing Archibeque’s “rule of seven,” wherein instructions were delivered in seven words or fewer. Immediately following the teaching session, participants responded to the question: “What was your perception of this assignment and what did you notice about teaching effectiveness?” Outside observers responded to the same prompt. Findings indicated that choral members preferred rehearsals with reduced verbal instruction because they were able to perform more, with fewer interruptions. The preservice teachers favored the opportunity to organize their thoughts and focus instruction, but they expressed frustration with feeling stifled in leading rehearsal. The outside observers approved of the rehearsal pacing but were concerned by the lack of specificity in instruction and feedback.

Second World

During the ‘golden age’ of British scientific research funding, that is, the two decades following the end of the Second World War, the two biologically orientated research councils, medical (MRC) and agricultural (ARC), would sometimes establish personal research units. Although staffed by career scientists, units differed from institutes in being small and personal, i.e. a small team of researchers, employees of the Council, would be attached to a distinguished research leader. The leader would usually be an academic, on the staff of a university, and would thus become an honorary director, but sometimes the director would be employed by the Council, and might then have an honorary academic position as well. Most units were located on a university campus, or more rarely within one of the Council's research institutes. Units were very effective scientifically, being both productive and economical; the ARC set up 24 during its history and in 1960, its peak period for units, it was supporting 15. However, the problems of redeploying staff, which arose when the unit's leader retired, emigrated or died, made them unpopular with administrators. When a unit was sited at a university the understanding had often been that the university would absorb the staff, but as university expansion came to a standstill this became impracticable. In later decades the ARC's units were gradually closed.
