Forest Education

Forest products managers indicate that it is important for college graduates to have an understanding of marketing in order to be competitive in the workplace. This research, in part a replication of a study completed 30 years ago, was conducted to elicit information that would be useful to faculty, students, administrators, and managers concerning the current role of marketing in forestry schools. A questionnaire was sent to 443 forestry professors at universities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Two interesting findings include the apparent existence of a misconception about the functions of economics and marketing in forestry education, and, although industry consistently calls for more marketing emphasis in forest products curricula, these results suggest that forestry schools could do much more to meet this need by encouraging and funding forest products marketing programs. Key words: marketing, forest education

The Future

The Canadian wood products industry continues to have an overwhelming reliance on commodity sales to the United States housing market. The industry has extracted attractive profits from this approach in the past, first by taking advantage of abundant, inexpensive old-growth fibre and then by investing in cost-minimizing technologies. But like all investments on inputs for production, diminishing returns have been reached and new solutions must be sought to recapture competitiveness and profitability into the future. This paper addresses this challenge by focusing on the role of research and development and the transition into a sustainable, knowledge-based industry. Key words: Canadian forest industry at the crossroads, productivity, competitiveness, knowledge-based, role of research and development

Digital Environment

The digital environment of children is not an extra option, but a habitat. When a person does not have a knowledge in coding, he is forced to accept the devices and software provided by the developers. This puts him at a disadvantage: he spends a lot of time in a digital environment, where the rules of conduct have not been developed by himself. Knowledge of coding, according to the formed opinion, will help the user to better "navigate the situation". Digitally literate children will stop judging websites by their attractiveness and range of services only — they will be capable to critically and purposefully build their interaction with the websites. The dynamics of the situation with teaching informatics in schools in the United States of America from 2005 to the present and in Estonia from 2012 to the present has been analyzed in the article. The features of the approach to the formation of educational programs in informatics in schools of different states and the role of external organizations that are not related to the education system have been considered.

Happy Mood

This study demonstrates the significance of individual difference factors, particularly gender and sensation seeking, in predicting media choice (examined through hypothetical descriptions of films that participants anticipated they would view). This study used a 2 (Positive mood/negative mood) × 2 (High arousal/low arousal) within-subject design with 544 undergraduate students recruited from a large northeastern university in the United States. Results showed that happy films and high arousal films were preferred over sad films and low-arousal films, respectively. In terms of gender differences, female viewers reported a greater preference than male viewers for happy-mood films. Also, male viewers reported a greater preference for high-arousal films compared to female viewers, and female viewers reported a greater preference for low-arousal films compared to male viewers. Finally, high sensation seekers reported a preference for high-arousal films. Implications for research design and importance of exploring media characteristics are discussed.
