This study examines how two types of word knowledge, word associations and grammatical suffix knowledge, change over time both receptively and productively. Ninety-five secondary and postsecondary Japanese students were tested on three word associations and inflectional and derivational suffixes for each of 20 verbs, once near the beginning of their academic year and once near the end. The results showed their average vocabulary gain was 330 words. The students showed rather poor knowledge of the allowable suffixes for the verbs, especially the derivative suffixes. Likewise, the subjects did not show very good mastery of the verbs' word associations. Even for verbs rated as known, the students as a group were able to produce only about 50% of the word associations possible on the test as judged by native speaker norms. Word association knowledge and suffix knowledge were shown to correlate with each other and with total vocabulary size. The subjects overall had from 19 to 25 percentage points more receptive knowledge than productive knowledge.

Em uma investigação apoiada pelo MCTI/CNPq, realizada em parceria interinstitucional entre a UFPE, a UFSM e a UFPR, buscamos examinar as práticas pedagógicas adotadas pelos docentes que atuam em disciplinas cuja finalidade é o ensino de criação publicitária. Atenção especial recai ao processo de orientação - estratégia de ensino em que o professor acompanha os estudantes de forma sistemática e colabora na superação de dificuldades. Observamos, a partir do trabalho de campo ancorado em gravações de aulas em áudio e vídeo, que o professor publicitário necessita de contínua formação para converter a atividade de orientação em um instante estratégico de troca de conhecimento, interação e produção de sentido, a fim de favorecer a mediação e a formação de um ambiente adequado para aprendizagem em que o estudante queira se lançar nos desafios do querer aprender criatividade.Palavras-chaveEnsino.

Special attention relapses on the orientation process - teaching strategy in that the teacher accompanies the students in a systematic way and it collaborates in the overcoming of difficulties. We observed, starting from the field work anchored in recordings of classes in audio and video, that the advertising teacher needs continuous formation to convert the orientation activity in a strategic instant of knowledge change, interaction and sense production, in order to favor the mediation and the formation of an appropriate atmosphere for learning that the student wants to set in the challenges of wanting to learn creativity.KeywordsTeaching.

The dynamic epistemic logic for actual knowledge models the phenomenon of actual knowledge change when new information is received. In contrast to the systems of dynamic epistemic logic which have been discussed in the past literature, our system is not burdened with the problem of logical omniscience, that is, an idealized assumption that the agent explicitly knows all classical tautologies and all logical consequences of his or her knowledge. We provide a sound and complete axiomatization for this logic.

Halford, Wilson & Phillips argue that cognitive development is driven by increases in processing capacity. We suggest that changes in relational knowledge are as important or more so. We present evidence that 3-year-olds' analogical abilities are sharply improved by teaching them relational labels; over a 30-minute experimental session children gained approximately 2 years in effective performance. These results mandate caution interpreting age-related change as indicating maturational change, and call for a deeper consideration of the role of epistemological change in cognitive development.
