We define epistemic order as the way in which the exchange and development of knowledge takes place in the classroom, breaking this down into a system of three components: epistemic initiative relating to who sets the agenda in classroom dialogue, and how; epistemic appraisal relating to who judges contributions to classroom dialogue, and how; and epistemic framing relating to the terms in which development and exchange of knowledge are represented, particularly in reflexive talk. These components are operationalised in terms of various types of structural and semantic analysis of dialogue. It is shown that a lesson segment displays a multi-layered epistemic order differing from that of conventional classroom recitation. Un estudio de caso del orden epistémico en el discurso de la clase de matemáticas Definimos orden epistémico como el modo en que se produce el intercambio y desarrollo de conocimiento en el aula, de acuerdo con un sistema de tres componentes: iniciativa epistémica respecto a quién y cómo establece la agenda del diálogo de clase; evaluación epistémica respecto a quién y cómo valora las contribuciones a este diálogo; y marco epistémico respecto a los términos en los cuales el desarrollo e intercambio de conocimiento se representa, particularmente en el habla reflexiva. Operativizamos estos componentes mediante varios tipos de análisis estructurales y semánticos del diálogo. Con los datos de un segmento de clase, se muestra un orden epistémico de múltiples niveles que difiere de formatos convencionales de relato en el aula.Handle: http://hdl.handle.net/10481/42388WOS-ESCINº de citas en WOS (2017): 1 (Citas de 2º orden, 0)Nº de citas en SCOPUS (2017): 1 (Citas de 2º orden, 0)

Resumen:A partir del análisis del discurso y tomando como estudio de caso el tema de la propiedad intelectual de las variedades vegetales, así como el control y acceso al germoplasma agrícola, se muestra la manera en que, en las negociaciones internacionales, los actores sociales participantes van modificando sus interpretaciones y reestructurando los contenidos y significados del discurso. El documento muestra de qué forma la presencia de representantes de las empresas trasnacionales han logrado tener una mayor eficacia en la imposición de sus intereses, en menoscabo de los intereses de los estados nacionales, particularmente de los países del sur.Palabras clave : negociaciones internacionales; globalización; agricultura; germoplasma; propiedad intelectual; AGAC; OMC; TRIPS. Abstract:Beginning with the discourse analysis and considering as a case study the subject of the intellectual property of the plant varieties and the control and access to the agricultural germoplasm, it is shown how, in international negotiations, the participating social actors modify their interpretations and restructure the contents and meanings of the discourse. This document shows particularly the way the representatives of the transnational companies have managed to impose their interests,to the detriment of the national states' interests, especially the southern countries.Key words: international negotiations in agriculture; globalization; agriculture; germplasm; intellectual property; GATT; OMC; TRIPS.

This article aims at analyzing the organizational culture in a major textile industry from Brazil and tends to study the way through which this structure can become a motivational tool for the decision makers. From a qualitative research, this investigation is characterized as a case study, whose data were collected through interviews composed of predefined questions and which were applied in writing and in an articulated way. The technique used in the interview was that of focus group, and the collected data were analyzed through text transcription, voice recording and the establishment of an analytical matrix. The results showed the existence of an integrated and shared organizational culture, besides being a motivational tool relevant to the actions of the decision makers’ intermediate managers.Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la cultura organizacional en una importante industria textil de Brasil y tiende a estudiar la forma en que esta estructura puede convertirse en una herramienta de motivación para los que toman las decisiones.

This aims to review and analyze the Jordanian experiment in the developmental regional planning field within the decentralized managerial methods, which is considered one of the primary basic provisions for applying and success of this kind of planning. The study shoed that Jordan has passed important steps in the way for implanting the decentralized administration, but these steps are still not enough to established the effective and active regional planning. The study reveled that there are many problems facing the decentralized regional planning in Jordan, despite of the clear goals that this planning is trying to achieve. These problems have resulted from the existing relationship between the decentralized administration process’ dimensions from one side, and between its levels which ranged from weak to medium decentralization from the other side, In spite of the official trends aiming at applying more of the decentralized administrative policies, still high portion of these procedures are theoretical, did not yet find a way to reality. Because any progress or success at the level of applying the decentralized administrative policies doubtless means greater effectiveness and influence on the development regional planning in life of the residents in the kingdom’s different regions. So, it is important to go a head in applying more steps and decentralized administrative procedures, gradually and continuously to guarantee the control over any negative effects that might result from Appling this kind of systems.   © 2018 JASET, International Scholars and Researchers Association

This study analyzes the English teacher candidate’s use of instructional media in the teaching practicum. The English teacher candidate who became the participant in this study was doing their teaching practicum in MTsN 5 Jember. This study applied the qualitative case study design. Interview and observation were done one time to select the participant. The four-times classroom observations and questionnaires were used in order to collect the data. This study employed the model of Creswell in analyzing the data. The findings of this study showed that the English teacher candidate applied one type of instructional media namely Visual Media. Those were Picture and Whiteboard. The way the teacher candidate implemented the instructional media was almost the same in each meeting of the teaching and learning process. However, the students’ participation and response were not always the same in every meeting. It depended on the way the teacher candidate managed the class activity.

The chapter discusses management consultants and consulting knowledge in health care, highlighting significant expenditure on consultancy and how consultants have shaped thinking in public services, which some critics suggest has served consultants’ own (financial) interests. The chapter then discusses the way consultants mobilize management knowledge and frame clients’ problems and solutions. It discusses an empirical case study of a consultancy project to redesign NHS organizations to make substantial ‘efficiency savings’. Here, consultants framed the NHS’s problem and solution, and then imposed an organizational redesign. Local NHS managers and clinicians framed the NHS’s problem differently, doubting the consultants’ framing and proposing redesign, but feeling unable to engage in dialogue about these concerns. Consequently, they engaged with the project in a calculated and defensive way, superficially accepting the redesign while waiting for its implementation to fail. Thus, the chapter demonstrates framing politics surrounding management consulting knowledge.
