Abstractlimitations on the hard module and the lack of availability of technology-based learning media led to a lack of student motivation in learning physics. As a result, it is necessary to develop a constructivism-based electronic physics module. The objective of this research is to know the validity of constructivism-based electronic physics module for 1st student in Senior high school. This research is research and development research. Feasibility tests of the electronic module are carried out through the validation. Validation was carried out by three validators. Based on validation, it showed that constructivism-based electronic physics module that was developed is very valid with a percentage of 89.08%.AbstrakKeterbatasan pada modul cetak serta kurangnya ketersediaan media pembelajaran yang berbasis teknologi menyebabkan kurangnya motivasi siswa dalam mempelajari fisika. Untuk itu perlu dikembangkan sebuah Modul Elektronik fisika berbasis konstruktivisme. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan Modul Elektronik Fisika yang valid untuk siswa Kelas X SMA. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian pengembangan (research development) dengan menggunakan model 4-D. Pada tahap develop dilakukan pengembangan modul dengan divalidasi oleh 3 orang validator. Berdasarkan hasil validasi terhadap modul elektronik fisika berbasis konstruktivisme yang dikembangkan adalah sangat valid dengan persentase 89,08%.

In February 2001, the USS Greeneville, a nuclear submarine carrying sixteen “distinguished visitors” as part of a U.S. Navy public relations program, collided with the Ehime Maru, a fisheries training boat operated by Uwajima Fisheries High School, off the coast of Hawaii. Nine Japanese perished, including four high school students. Nearly nine months later, the U.S. Navy succeeded in raising the boat from its deepwater crash site and in locating the bodies of eight victims. This retelling focuses on the ways in which both governments emphasized repeatedly the special emotional needs of Japanese victims’ families and of Japan as a whole. By calling attention to inherent contradictions within these representations as well as to tensions surrounding the victims’ families, it separates emotion itself from its political representation, and suggests that the analytical lens ought to focus on the latter rather than the former.

This article starts with an overview of the existing literature on mobile communication and then presents a more detailed account of the current scientific knowledge in mobile communication and deaf studies, followed by a summary of the findings from the two case studies that the author recently conducted. The first study investigated how texting was used by deaf adolescents in Japan. The second study examined text messages written by U.S. deaf adolescents. Both studies collected a small corpus of dyadic messages exchanged via cell phone between two deaf high-school students at each residential school to examine the unconventional spellings typically used in text messages, or “textisms.” The characteristics of each text-message corpus (356 messages produced by the Japanese pair, and 370 messages by the U.S. pair) were analyzed in order to explore the features of textisms adopted by these deaf adolescents.

Dr. Hopkins is one of the few American women to have held a doctorate in science and a license to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Her career included academia, industry, and government. Esther was born Esther Arvilla Harrison on September 16, 1926, in Stamford, Connecticut. She was the second of three children born to George Burgess Harrison and Esther Small Harrison. Her father was a chauffeur and sexton at a church, and her mother worked in domestic service. Neither of her parents had an advanced education. Her father had some high school education; her mother attended only primary school. However, both of her parents wanted to make sure their children had a good education. When Esther was three and a half years old, her mother took her along to register her older brother for school. Because Esther was taller than her brother, the teacher suggested that she take the test to start school. She passed the test and was able to start kindergarten at the age of three and a half! She and her brother went to school together all through elementary school. Boys and girls were separated in junior high school; in high school they remained separate but attended the same school. She decided in junior high school that she wanted to be a brain surgeon. This was because she met a woman doctor in Stamford who had an office in one of the buildings that her father cleaned. The woman was a physician and graduate of Boston University Medical School. Esther decided that she wanted to be just like her. Therefore, when Esther entered high school, she chose the college preparatory math and science track. She took as many science courses as possible in order to get into Boston University. She spent a lot of time at the local YWCA, becoming a volunteer youth leader. One speaker at a YWCA luncheon discouraged her from entering science and suggested that she become a hairdresser. Esther was hurt but not discouraged by this. She graduated from Stamford High School in 1943.

This chapter illustrates the unique cross-sector visual arts exchange program between Cuba and the U.S. This collaborative project is situated in the Cuban educational perspective of Pedagogía de la Ternura (Pedagogy of Tenderness) and La Cláse Magica (Magical Class), contextually driven bilingual model for diverse student population in the U.S. The role of art in Cuban context of national and cultural identity is also discussed. The CreArte in Cuba, a voluntary cultural community inspired organization, aims to improve the cultural life and the realities of all the local participants. In the U.S., CreArte project was implemented at a local high school to create a positive learning space for the most disenfranchised local high school students enrolled in a remedial reading program. The juxtaposition of two apparently disparate and contrasting realities formed an amazing collage of hope and trust beyond the visible cognitive, behavioral, and affective literacy outcomes for the students and adults in both countries traveling across 90 miles of troubled water between Cuba and USA.
