Double Stimulation

An attempt was made to reproduce L.S. Vygotsky’s study on development of concepts, in order to identify ways that contemporary 7- and 9-year-olds use to solve the task of the Vygotsky’s cubes (double stimulation technique). The assumption about the relationship between the dominant method of abstraction used by elementary schoolchildren and their level of intellectual development was tested. For the purposes of the study 197 children enrolled in 1st (n = 102) and 3rd classes (n = 95) were tested. Our results partially coincide with those obtained by other authors, and the differences and similarities are discussed. Qualitative differences in performance on the double stimulation technique were also found between the children scoring high versus low scores on the Raven’s SPM test, showing different thinking processes between those groups. We discuss the significance for further research of obtained relationship between the elementary schoolchildren approach to the double stimulation technique and the level of their intellectual development.

The basic vision of learning science has changed as scientific culture concepts evolution and the nature of the teaching of science go along. From a model essentially based on information acquisition, science instruction has included the practice of the science method when the importance of emphasizing the development of personal skills, thinking processes, and action was considered. The concern about citizens’ education in matters referring to the relationship between science and society and enlightened social participation demanded a special attention in investigation and in students’ participation in issues related to urban, natural, and technological environment. This research seeks to develop an integrative model of curriculum organizations based on these three axes or perspectives: science, individual, and society. A matrix enabling the analysis of curricular proposals and organization plans of didactic units is built, as well as the observation of teachers’ representations in the teaching of science.

To keep up with rapid evolutions in technical and scientific developments, countries must create competitive dynamics that enable key actors to generate high-tech projects, boosting both a country’s productivity and economic development. Higher education institutions (HEIs), with their intellectual capital and as core generators of knowledge, are one of the main actors in these dynamics, particularly given their societal responsibilities and contributions to intellectual development and technical knowledge in the community. This article aims to identify the relationship patterns required for actors to create a fully participatory and integrative process between HEIs and the production sector (PS). This integrative and linking process generates and improves technical projects in the region. Through a literature review and an analysis of current empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the relationship between these two sectors in the region, an interrelational map has been developed. This map aims to highlight key activities to be considered during the execution of the linkage and to identify an ecosystem of necessary elements to develop a diagnostic evaluation tool. This tool may be used to define the ideal conditions that should lead to project development between the HEIs and the PS. The article presents the region of Ciudad Juárez in Mexico as a case study.

The article presents the results of the study of the personal socio-psychological features in the bailiff service officers. The study involved 675 bailiff executors, 410 men (60.7%) and 265 women (39.3%) aged 21 to 59 years. In our study, we used a number of diagnosis tools, such as MMPI - a multifactorial questionnaire for the personality study, Brief Indicative Selection Test developed by V.N. Buzin and E.F. Wonderlic, K. Leonhard - N. Shmishek diagnostic test to determine character accentuations, the projective technique "House-Tree-Person" by J. Book, as well as observations and interviews. Our study revealed mean indicators of intellectual development level related to the range of values "above average", absence of pronounced character accentuations with a tendency to hypertension and demonstrativeness and risks of a tendency to depression and rigidity. The analysis showed the relationship of certain characteristics to the subjects’ age and gender. Factor analysis identified the major social and psychological personality traits of bailiffs which are the most significant for their professional activities. The study results can be used for professional psychological selection of bailiff service officers, their psychological support and the development of techniques in order to prevent burnout syndrome and professional deformation.

This paper critiques the literature on the relationship between sibling structure and academic abilities and achievement since Cicirelli’s (1978) earlier commentary on this topic. Assessed is the extent to which the confluence model, a theoretical explanation of the influence of sibling structure, fits the empirical observations made recently on the association between sibship structure and intellectual development. Since the studies reviewed in general tend to refute the confluence model, alternative interpretations of the impact of sibling structure on academic consequences are presented. Implications for future research are also provided.

The Relationship

Some of Herder's most striking ideas stemmed from his early evaluation of German literary publicity, which to his mind stood in stark contrast to conditions in the sociable world. Such a predicament bespeaks the importance of considering the relationship between printed text and lived sociability in the Enlightenment. By charting the heady twists and turns in his intellectual development from 1765 to 1769, this essay treats the young Herder in what for him became an aesthetically charged field between the two. The “phantom” public which he came to envision would be manifest to the senses, at least to the extent that it might be “felt” by the reader of print, but it also amounted to a surrogate for the more tangibly sensual experience of face-to-face community.
