The Subject

This small-scale action research reports on a design and implementation of a ‘Talking Cells’ project which aims to teach students the subject of “Cell” through an integrated STEAM approach. For this project, the school’s ICT teacher, science teacher and educational technology specialist worked collaboratively to design a series of activities that provided a context for children to solve real-life problems. In total 3 teachers from different subject fields worked as a team on this project with 51 sixth grade students. The students experimented with the ideas by designing solutions for real-life problems that were given to them. The students transformed organelles from cells into objects by using different materials and programming these using digital tools and electronics. The study which took place during lessons totaling 400 minutes, allowed students to experiment with STEAM concepts and skills. The study found that learning through solving real-life problems using programming and STEAM skills had a significant effect on students’ performance.

The Relationship

AbstractLearning is a complex phenomenon. Contemporary theories of education underline active participation of learners in their learning processes. One of the key arguments supporting this approach is the learner’s simultaneous and unconscious development of their ability of “learning to learn”. This ability belongs to the soft skills highly valued by employers today.For Mathematics Education, it means that teachers have to go beyond making calculations and memorizing formulas. We have to teach the subject in its social context. When the students start understanding the relationship between real-life problems and the role of numbers and formulas for their solutions, their learning becomes a part of their tacit knowledge. Below we explain the theoretical background of our approach and provide examples of such activities.

Face recognition programs have many practical usages in various fields, such as security or entertainment. Existing recognition algorithms must deal with various real life problems – mainly with illumination. In practice, illumination normalization models are often used only for Small-scale futures extraction, ignoring Large-scale features. In this article, new and more direct approach to this problem is offered, used algorithms and test results are given.

The Subject

JISIB here presents six new articles. As in the first issue these contributions come from scholars all over the world; from Africa, North America, Asia and Europe. We are very pleased about the diversity of these contributions, also with the fact that we have a good number of female authors. The subject they all have in common is problems related to how private organizations work with information to gain a competitive advantage. More precisely they are occupied with a particular kind of information, the need-to-know, or intelligence. Some of the articles are, as before, more technical, others more qualitative. They are all focused on management practices, that is, solving real life problems. As more technology is being implemented in our corporations, the ability to understand and use new applications distinguishes the skilled from the unskilled, be it in the IT department, the marketing department, in accounting and finance or in human resource management department, where most of those working with intelligence tasks are found.For the first time the journal has opened an opinion section, allowing for contribution which does not fit the format of empirical studies, but offer critical perspectives on the subject studied in this journal. We believe these are important contributions. A discipline should always question what it is doing and it must be able to welcome other methodologies, be it from Critical theory, Post modernism or the Historical school.It is with great interest that we have noticed the attention paid to Open Access journals recently, in particular by an editorial in the newspaper the Economist and by the decision at Harvard University to demand that all research from the institution be published in this format. Right now many other universities are thinking about demanding the same thing from their researchers. This will give Open Access journals a great boost in the time to come. We welcome this development.The journal works in symbioses with a number of conferences. It relies heavily on the contributions of scientific papers presented at these conferences, in particular for these first issues. Among these we would in particular like to mention the more scholarly conferences, like VSST, ECIS, ICTICTI and SIIE. In the near future we also hope to receive contributions from INOSA and ECKM. We also receive support from members in the more professional conferences related to Intelligence Studies like ICI and SCIP. We are most grateful to the organizers and contributors at all of these conferences.As always, we would first of all like to thank the authors for this issue.

Teaching Statistics

Teaching statistics through computer-assisted simulations eliminates the constraints and challenges associated with teaching the course using mathematics. It also provides students with a practical means for solving real-life problems and a solid conceptual grasp of the problem-solving nature of the discipline. A text that deemphasizes mathematics and introduces simulation as a means of understanding concepts, along with software designed for computer-intensive statistical methods and a workbook of journal article selections provide the foundation materials for such a study of statistics. A special course guide also was developed to provide a clear introduction to the software for naive users, show how the software and the text are related, and connect the simulation techniques to standard statistical tests. Altogether these materials not only provide a positive experience for students studying statistics, but they allow them to study the subject independently and at a distance.
