Hermeneutic Process

The objective was to interpret the meaning of the pedagogical practice that teachers carry out to carry out an industrial technical education oriented toward innovation, in the context of the Industrial Technical School “La Carucieña” in the city of Barquisimeto, Venezuela. The interpretive ethnographic method was used in the qualitative methodological perspective; participant observation was used in classrooms and workshops, and the in-depth interview of five teachers was used. The coding and categorization procedure resulted in two guiding categories: (a) Innovation in the pedagogical act of the Industrial Technical Schools, and (b) Pedagogy of Learning for Innovation, to which the hermeneutic process was carried out. As a final reflection it is necessary that the essence of the innovative being in the pedagogical act is the teacher, because his students will be the reflection of the attitude towards the need to improve, to incorporate changes and the dedication to overcome the education of routine and inertia.

Interpretive Perspective

This paper examines the establishment of two pioneering technical schools in Ontario - the Toronto Technical School in the 1890s, and Windsor-Walkervile Technical School in the 1920's - in a comparative perspective. Though separated by geography and chronological era, there are significant similarities in their development, from idealistic schemes in the minds of a few visionaries to bricks-and-mortar reality as thriving stand-alone technical high schools. The analysis, while based on primary documents from the historical period, utilizes both the classical interpretation of Robert Stamp and the work of subsequent revisionists. An examination of evolving educational policy and changes in regional economic geography helps to situate this comparative institutional study in a broader interpretive perspective. The conclusion, that each school in its time was innovative, popular and respected, will provide valuable historical context for current debates about the appropriate role, if any, of technical schools in public education.

ABSTRACT Objective The objective was to analyze the interactions between food and identity by exploring the daily food eaten by a rural community. Under the gift theory view, the aim is to present readings concerning a rural identity that the research participants constituted through eating; this aim is premised on the assumption that analyzing the relationship between the identity of a group and eating becomes important because of the marked influence that belonging to a collective has in food. Methods An ethnographic approach was used including participant observation, field diary annotations, and interviews with 21 interlocutors. Results The activity of eating produced at least two categories that characterized rural identity: one marked by the stigma of the past, and the other by values that, above all, denote a reaction to stigma; a reaction to stigma is linked to the work that also sustains the honor of a family, the consumption of food/goods common in the city, inclusion in a larger society, and commitment to the collective. Conclusion Eating, in addition to the biological and individual, can also be apprehended as a complex and revealing sociocultural phenomenon, including ways of belonging to a group. With food a marked rural identity appears, mainly through reactions to stigmata.

This research discusses the adaptation of speech code among Madurese students in Yogyakarta. Speech code adaptation involves intercultural communication; perception, verbal communication, and non-verbal communication. A qualitative method is employed in this study, using ethnographic approach as well as participant observation and in-depth interview. Speech code adaptation  among Madurese students in Yogyakarta could be seen from their intonation, accent, expression, and gesture. Different background of these students has contributed to their different perception and the way they construct the foundation for the process of adaptation with native citizen in Yogyakarta. It is found in this study that students from Madura who live in Yogyakarta adapt their speech code in such manners as; assimilation, separation, integration, and cultural hybridity. Assimilation is used among them to equate the two cultures in a way to maintain their Madurese culture and their attachment to the new culture in Yogyakarta. Separation is the way used by Madurese students to subsist in their own culture, to minimize the interaction, and to their way to cluster themselves in their own culture. Integration is one option among them to keep their own culture in regards to speech code, while it enables them to interact with Yogyakarta people. Cultural hybridity is a way that Madurese students carry out negotiation and adaptation process to gain positive perception within the host culture of Yogyakarta.[Penelitian ini membahas adaptasi logat di kalangan mahasiswa Madura di Yogyakarta. Adaptasi logat melibatkan komunikasi antar budaya yaitu persepsi, komunikasi verbal, dan komunikasi non-verbal. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnografi serta observasi partisipan dan wawancara yang intensif. Adaptasi logat di kalangan mahasiswa Madura di Yogyakarta dapat dilihat dari intonasi, akses, ekspresi dan gerak tubuh yang mereka gunakan. Latar belakang para mahasiswa yang berbeda turut membentuk persepsi mereka dan cara mereka dalam proses adaptasi dengan penduduk asli Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa mahasiswa yang berasal dari Madura di Yogyakarta mengadaptasi logat bicara dengan cara asimilasi, separasi, integrasi, dan hibrid budaya. Asimilasi dilakukan untuk menyamaratakan budaya yang berbeda dengan mempertahankan budaya Madura dan keterikatan mereka dengan budaya baru di Yogyakarta. Separasi adalah cara yang digunakan mahasiswa Madura ini untuk hidup dengan budaya mereka sendiri dan meminimalkan interaksi dengan cara mengelompokkan diri dengan teman sebudaya mereka sendiri. Integrasi adalah salah satu pilihan mereka untuk menjaga budaya mereka sendiri dalam hal logat dan memungkinkan mereka supaya dapat berinteraksi dengan masyarakat Yogyakarta. Hibrid budaya adalah cara mahasiswa Madura ini melakukan proses negoisasi dan adaptasi untuk memperoleh persepsi positif dalam kehidupan budaya tuan rumah yakni Yogyakarta.]

The research aimed to identify the current feed of Xerente people in Indian villages Porteira and Funil in the city of Tocantinia / TO. It was used a qualitative ethnographic approach. Conducted from September 2013 to August 2014. The data were presented in a diary, through participant observation of food practices with the guidance of a script. A process of dietary change that permeates the culture of this people is taking place. Factors such as the deficit in the planting gardens, the recent arrival of energy, and therefore the technology has allowed access to processed foods. But some families still maintain the farming of cassava, yam, and beans. The main animals that are hunted in the village are peccary, deer and armadillo. It was possible to point which foods are inserted in the Xerente feed and factors related to this situation.

This article examines the existence, role, and practice of Art for Children (AFC) Yogyakarta as a community art center for children in Yogyakarta. Due to its cultural and educational setting, the children’s art center serves as an alternative for non-formal art education. The data were gathered by the passive participant observation, in-depth interview, and document review and analyzed by using the interactive model. The research results in four things. First, the establishment of the Art for Children (AFC) meets the needs of the self-actualization of both the artists and the parents in nurturing children’s art. Teaching art to children becomes the honorable way for the artists to reach his self-fulfillment as artists as well as members of a society and, on the other hand, engaging their children’s in the art center is the responsibility for the parents to fulfill their aesthetic needs and to support their children’s education. Second, the lesson emphasizes the process rather than the result; it is oriented to the development of art educational values rather than artistic skills. The training process involves collaboration between the artists and the parents. The artists engage the parents in active participation of guiding the children. Third, through this strategy the children have produced original and creative drawings and paintings worthwhile for children’s aesthetic education and cultural activity in the city.

Education for sustainable development (ESD) has emerged during last years as a way to promote a better culture of respect, balance and justice for the environment and society. This document aims to describe relevant results of a study conducted in the city of Hermosillo, Mexico, about sustainability programs in secondary technical schools. The study was addressed in two ways: A survey was applied to ten (10) local institutions and a case study was conducted to one of them in order to identify behaviors and beliefs of its faculty members under sustainability approach. Two of the main outcomes are that ESD has not been as effective in the city as it was thought; and that the perceptions and values of the participant institution might be redirected towards a more environmental empathy.

Sports Tourism as a segment is growing exponentially in Brazil. The sports mega-events that occurred in the period from 2007 to 2016 helped strengthen this sector significantly. This article examined tourism mobility during the Summer Olympic Games Rio 2016, hosted by the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This study expands the understanding of the relationship between tourism and city infrastructure, therefore being relevant to academics, professionals of the area and to the whole society due to its multidisciplinary field. The existence of a relationship between means of transportation and the Olympic regions as well as tourist attractions for a possible legacy was observed. Data were collected from official sources, field research and through participant-observation and semi structured interviews. Data were coded and analyzed. The results indicate that the city was overall successful in its execution of sufficient mobility. New means of transportation were added and others updated. BRT's (Bus Rapid Transit) were the main use of mass transport to Olympic sites. However, a lack of public transport access was observed for the touristic sites.

AbstractIn the attempt to foster circular economy (CE), cities are increasingly adopting urban living labs (ULLs) as sites of co-production aimed at testing alternative solutions based on the reuse of products, reduction of consumption and recycling of materials. Taking this perspective, our study adopts an exploratory research design to discover the pragmatic implications emerging from a case study. The City of Turin joined proGIreg, a European project that entails the regeneration of former industrial districts by means of nature-based solutions (NBS). Ranging from aquaponics to green roofs, seven NBS have been experimented in Turin, which rely on the use of natural systems to tackle social, economic and environmental challenges efficiently and sustainably. Among them, the most promising is related to the production and test of the ‘new soil’, a blend obtained by mixing earth materials coming from construction sites with compost, zeolites and mycorrhizae. The case herein presented is interesting to analyse for the multi-stakeholder management setting used, where public institutions, private companies, research institutions, citizens and associations collaborated in the co-creation and testing phase of the NBS. Consequently, the data collected through participant observation and direct interviews allow researchers to describe multi-stakeholders’ dynamics and how they work. Thus, this paper narrates a micro-contextual experience while providing a critique. Results include an analysis of the unique combination of different stakeholders, which strongly impacted on the management and the effectiveness of the entire project. By consequence, the paper offers both theoretical contributions to the relational branch of stakeholder theory and practical evidence in demonstrating the importance of the relational branch of the theory over a more traditional transactional view.

This article explores the use of sound, lyrics, and performance as tools for spatial reorientation and reimagining, identity formation and affirmation, and counternarrative or counterarchive in a rapidly gentrifying contemporary Detroit, Michigan. Two discrete, yet discursively linked case studies are presented—performances by the same artist in two different spaces—that exhibit various modes of “flipping,” slang that can refer to multiple transformative practices in contemporary Detroit. These practices include the use of overdetermined spaces, or spaces that have been declared abandoned or vacant, for something other than their original intent—i.e. using a decommissioned automobile plant as a music video set; sampling, which can be understood as using sonic components from previously recorded songs in the creation of new hip-hop beats; buying homes in a state of disrepair, fixing and reselling them at large profits; and inverting meaning itself, via slang or coded language. Additionally Black techniques of sounding and performance are illuminated, with a focus on echo as a mode of co-creation. These various practices are all responses to the growing wave of gentrification that gains momentum in the city daily. The analysis draws primarily from ethnographic research conducted from 2016 to 2018, culling data from participant observation, recorded interviews, informal conversations, field notes, lyrical and video analysis, and the analysis of mediated accounts, both print and online. As the analysis shows, the strategies utilized by artists in Detroit ensure that no matter how much the spaces in Detroit continue to change, and no matter how much an attempt is made to provide racially curated space through various forms of violence, you’re only ever a block from the ‘hood.
