Incremental Process

In all walks of life individuals are involved in a cumulative and incremental process of knowledge acquisition. This involves the accessing, processing and understanding of information which can be gained through many different forms. These include, deliberate means by picking up a book or passive by listening to someone. The content of knowledge is translated by individuals and often recorded by the skill of note-taking, which differs in method from one person to another. This article presents an investigation into the techniques to take notes including the most popular Cornell method. A comparative analysis with the Outlining and Mapping methods are carried out stating strengths and weaknesses of each in terms of simplicity, usefulness and effectiveness. The processes of developing such skills are not easy or straightforward and performance is much influenced by cognition. Therefore, such associations regarding cognitive conceptions involve the exploration into note-taking processes encoding and storage, attention and concentration, memory and other stimuli factors such as multimedia. The social changes within education from the traditional manner of study to electronic are being adapted by institutes. This change varies from computerising a sub-component of learning to simulating an entire lecture environment. This has enabled students to explore academia more conveniently however, is still arguable about its feasibility. The article discusses the underlying pedagogical principles, deriving instructions for the development of an e-learning environment. Furthermore, embarking on Tablet PC’s to replace the blackboard in combination with annotation applications is investigated. Semantic analysis into the paradigm shift in e-learning and knowledge management replacing classroom interaction presents its potential in the learning domain. The article concludes with ideas for the design and development of an electronic note-taking platform.

Traditional e-Learning system displays the same content to all the learners irrespective of their knowledge level and relevance. This paper enumerates insight into the learner‟s perspective and expectation on medium of study such as regional language verses English language at education institute in fathoming the core subject or e-content provided to them in English and proposes a design for developing an adaptive e-Learning system personalized to the learner. To investigate into the learner‟s individual desire the best cutting edge practice of applying statistical tools along with a plausible framework is being adapted. The results implied that the medium of instruction (Regional language / English) at school has greater impact on the performance compared to the region (Rural / Urban) the students hailed from, when the same content is given to them in English using traditional e- Learning. However, often there exists a widespread difference among regional language as a medium of learning in rural area and English as a medium of learning in urban area. Therefore, this study intend to develop e-learning content based on individual student capability to understand using systematic decision making and customized rules. The social implication of this study reveals that adaptive elearning based on individual personal capacity and customized e-learning content has been successfully implemented and effectively established a balanced trade-off between regional language as a medium students and English as a medium of learning student‟s knowledge and performance.

Poetry is one of the most vibrant artistic forms for socio-economic and political reconstruction of society among the Tiv of North Central Nigeria. The poets fix themselves in the forefront of arousing and propagating cultural consciousness, exposing vices, extolling virtues and personalities with such attributes, mobilizing people for unity and development, ensuring progressive change, maintaining social order and cohesion, unmasking socio-economic contradictions of class and polity, expressing the unheard voices of the voiceless in society and charting out a direction for the future of society. By reflecting the jeers, fears, aspirations, visions and general character of the society, they occupy a popular place and position in the social structure of Tiv society and their poetry is reinvigorated, in the usual popular way, in the new sensibilities of the digital technology being they dynamic in thematic exploration, traditional or modern. This article presents an exploratory overview of Tiv poetry in its changing digital forms of "secondary orality" which not only preserve the material but transform its productive, aesthetic and performance bounds to unending digital spaces creating in the wake a new character, a special effect, a new transmitting and storage pattern and the commodification of an individual's creations. The paper finally locates digi-orature, this new way of interrogating oral poets and their creations, within the ambience of postmodernity capable of attracting audiences outside the Tiv linguistic and geographical space.

The Japanese concept KOKORO and its axiological aspects in the discourse of moral educationThis article on the axiological aspects of the ‘Japanese mind/heart/soul’ focuses on the native Japanese word kokoro, which is extremely polysemous, frequently appears in various contexts and can be considered one of the Japanese cultural concepts or key words. The primary concern here is the axiological aspects of KOKORO in the discourse of contemporary moral education. The first part presents the basic semantic structure of the word kokoro and its comparison with similar words in other languages. The next section summarizes the social changes leading to the emergence of kokoro as a key word, and its way to the discourse of moral education. It also examines what cultural and moral values of Japanese society can be revealed through the study of the cultural key word kokoro. The final part presents the results of a content and semantic analysis of a four-volume edition of study material for moral education classes Kokoro no nōto (2002, revised in 2009). Japońskie pojęcie KOKORO i jego aspekty aksjologiczne w dyskursie wychowania moralnegoNiniejszy artykuł poświęcony aspektom aksjologicznym ‘japońskiego umysłu/serca/duszy’ koncentruje się na rodzimym japońskim leksemie kokoro, który charakteryzuje się dużą polisemicznością i często pojawia się w różnych kontekstach, i który można uznać za jedno z japońskich pojęć kulturowych czy słów-kluczy. Artykuł omawia aspekty aksjologiczne KOKORO przede wszystkim w dyskursie współczesnego wychowania moralnego.

The Impact

In this research, the impact of technology on this process has been highlighted following the idea of social change and the phases reached by mankind. Social changes are then dealt with and the circumstances that arise via interaction between the three ideas are articulated in the framework of education, which has a link with technology. The ideas of distant education and e-learning that have been developed are described and the capabilities and impacts of social networking and social media -this links the virtual and real world through Web 2.0- are taken into account on individuals and society. Positive improvements can be made using the potential of social networks in the social changes, technology and education triangle but, if certain matters are ignored, such potential might damage them.

SummaryEgeria, a 4th century pious woman from the south of present-day Spain, retold, after visiting Palestine with the Bible in hand, her observations to her sisters. If the linguistic aspects of her letters are quite well-known, much less is known about its stylistic value, inappropriately called “simple”.What seems to be boringly the same again and again, is in fact a constantly renewed and perfectly mastered “variation on a theme”, just as in a well-composed piece of music. Her apparent objectivity is indeed a wish to focus on what she considers the most important, namely to tell her community, as closely to reality as possible, what she observed during her pilgrimage. However, Egeria’s latin is also a testimony of the christian lexicon in construction and of the social changes that were in progress by that time.Linguistics and stylistics work together here, the choice of a word or a grammatical formula reveals hidden information about the proper style of an author who, despite her supposed objectivity, had real personal purposes.

Political Turmoil

Every literary work emerges from the particular alternatives of its time. This is ostensibly reflected in the attempted innovative renderings of these alternatives in the poetry of contemporary Nigerian poets of Yoruba extraction. Discernible in the poetry of Niyi Osundare and Remi Raji is the shaping and ordering of the linguistic appurtenances of the Yoruba orature, which themselves are sublimely rooted in the proverbial, chants, anecdotes, songs and praises derived from the Yoruba oral poetry of Ijala, Orin Agbe, Ese Ifa, Rara, folklore as well as from other elements of oral performance. This engagement with the Yoruba oral tradition significantly permeates the poetics of Niyi Osundare’s Waiting laughters and Remi Raji’s A Harvest of Laughters. In these anthologies, both Osundare and Raji traverse the cliffs and valleys of the contemporary Nigerian milieu to distil the social changes rendered in the Yoruba proverbial, as well as its chants and verbal formulae, all of which mutate from momentary happiness into an enduring anomie grounded in seasonal variations in agricultural production, ruinous political turmoil, suspense and a harvest of unresolved, mysterious deaths. The article is primarily concerned with how the African oral tradition has been harnessed by Osundare and Raji to construct an avalanche of damning, peculiarly Nigerian, socio-political upheavals (which are essentially delineated by the signification of laughter/s) and display these in relation to the country’s variegated ecology.

AbstractThe authors analyze the changes in value patterns—patriarchy, authoritarianism and nationalism—in Serbia in the context of the social changes that have marked the postsocialist transformation period. They focus on the extent and intensity of two sub-patterns within each of these three basic value patterns: private and public patriarchy, general and specific authoritarianism, organic (natural) and ethnic nationalism. The conclusions about changes in these value patterns are drawn on the basis of three empirical studies conducted in 2003, 2012, and 2018. They show the prevalence of private patriarchy, general authoritarianism, and organic (natural) nationalism over their counterparts. Private patriarchy has weakened, which is largely to be explained by the significant structural changes in Serbia. On the other hand, support of general authoritarianism and organic (natural) nationalism has been on the rise, which clearly mirrors the unfavorable economic and political situation in the country.

Recent debates about the future of the European Union have focusedin large part on institutional reforms, the deficit of democratic legitimacy,and the problem of economic and agrarian policies. As importantas these issues may be, the most crucial question at the momentis not whether Europe will prevail as a union of nations or as a thoroughlyintegrated federal structure. What is of much greater concernis the fact that political structures and their corresponding politicaldiscourses have lagged far behind the social changes occurring inEuropean societies. The pivotal transformation of 1989 has not beengrasped intellectually or politically, even though its results areincreasingly visible in both the east and west.
