<i>Abstract</i>.—MinnAqua, a program of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) Division of Fish and Wildlife, educates the state’s youth about angling and aquatic resources. In 2001, MinnAqua began developing a leaders’ guide so educators could carry out MinnAqua activities in their own setting. As part of the development process, a formative evaluation was undertaken to answer two questions: (a) to what extent are MinnAqua’s rewrite guidelines addressed in individual lessons and the leaders’ guide as a whole?, and (b) to what extent does the leaders’ guide meet the educational needs of intended users in both formal and informal education settings? Evaluative feedback was gathered from a variety of individuals over two stages of data collection, with revisions occurring after each stage. During stage one, formal and informal educators pilot tested lessons in their respective educational settings and provided input through surveys, critiques, and focus groups. DNR Fisheries staff also critiqued lessons to ensure the scientific accuracy of the biological information. Stage two involved instructional design experts verifying educational content in the lessons, educational outreach partners commenting on how the leaders’ guide could be used to support their outreach efforts, and an accessibility expert determining how to adapt MinnAqua lessons for use with individuals with physical disabilities. The evaluation results were used to verify the incorporation of the rewrite guidelines, identify ways to strengthen the extent to which the guidelines were addressed, and modify the leaders’ guide to more fully meet educators’ needs.

This research aims to produce a valid, practical, and having potential effects PISA-like mathematics problems using taekwondo context in Asian Games. The subjects were MIA 3 student of SMA 10 Palembang. This study was design research of development study in which had two stages: the preliminary and formative evaluation. The formative evaluation includes self-evaluation, one-to-one and expert review, small group, and field test. The context is used to have the students estimate maximum numbers of exercising athletes in a hall with a specific size. The result of the analysis shows that the problems which were reviewed by three expert reviews are valid qualitatively based on the PISA framework; it is also practical and easy to understand the problem. Based on the analysis of students’ answer, the developed problems display potential effects on student’s diverse basic mathematical abilities on the various process of answering the problems. The basic mathematics abilities emerging among which are reasoning and argument ability. It appears that students can develop and solve the problem by modeling using their assumptions. Also, the other ability is designing strategies to solve problems in which students use various procedures in solving problems leading the conclusion.

The article presents the peculiarities and trends of the implementation of peer assessment in the educational process of institutions of higher education, analyzes the view of world scholars on the changes in the theory and practice of assessing academic achievements of students in the context of emphasizing personality-oriented learning, namely recognition of the formative evaluation function through which students become not only observers of the process of evaluation by the teacher, and are involved in the use and development of evaluation criteria, self-assessment and peer assessment. The peculiarities of formative and peer assessment are analyzed, advantages and disadvantages of traditional and peer assessment are determined. Among the suggested ways to avoid the disadvantages of traditional assessment is the combination of traditional and peer assessment, the implementation of ICT tools to support peer assessment. The digital evaluation tools were analyzed and the results of the survey of teachers regarding the interest in possession of digital evaluation tools were presented, which was attended by 769 teachers from six Ukrainian partner universities of the MoPed project. The results of the survey on the use of assessment techniques and the use of digital tools for assessment, which was attended by scientific and teaching staff of the Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, were presented. The results of the survey showed that today peer assessment is used in the educational process by 15.6% of respondents, 62.3% use it in part, 22.1% do not use it. At the same time, 51.9% of the respondents are ready to use peer assessment in the educational process after a closer look at this method. According to the survey results, the digital instruments used by scientific and teaching staff in the learning process are the most popular ones: e-mail, computer tests that are checked automatically, and work with shared documents or presentations, but some resources that can be used for peer assessment, less than a third of teachers are used and their use does not always take into account all possibilities of such means.

This essay offers a broken narrative concerning the early history of anti-oppressive practice as an approach in the U.K. to youth and community work and the struggles over this in the context of UK higher education between the 1960′s and the early 2000’s. Educating informal educators as youth and community workers in the UK has been a site of contestation. Aspects of a genealogy of that struggle are presented in ways which link publicly available histories with personal memories and narratives, through the use of a personal archive developed through collective memory work. These are chosen to illuminate the links between theory and practice: on the one hand, the conceptual field which has framed the education of youth and community workers, whose sources lie in the academic disciplines of education and sociology, and, on the other hand, the social movements which have formed the practice of informal educators. Six have been chosen: (1) The long 1968: challenging approaches to authority; (2) the group as a source of learning; (3) The personal and political: experiential learning from discontent; (4) Paolo Freire and Critical Praxis; (5) A critical break in social education and the reality of youth work spaces as defensive spaces; (6) New managerialism: ethics vs. paper trails. The approach taken, of linking memory work with present struggles, is argued to be a generative form for current critical and enlivening practice.

What strategies should be adopted to select cases in a qualitative research ? Illustration from a comparative study on the changes in the structure of the executive branch in Ecuador. In a qualitative research design – particularly a comparative one - case selection is undoubtedly one of the most critical issues. The literature proposes a series of individual selection strategies, but in practice, researchers use them in combination. This discrepancy between theory and practice motivated us to propose a sequential combination of qualitative techniques for case selection that meet four objectives: to achieve variation in outcome, to respect the diversity of the set, to highlight the different degrees of a continuum, and to highlight the substantial importance of each case. The process was carried out in two stages: first, a pre-selection made directly by the researcher, and second the selection itself, carried out with the participation of experts by means of the Delphi method. The empirical basis of the proposal is the design of a comparative research on changes in the structure of executive power in Ecuador during the three presidential terms of Rafael Correa Delgado (2007–2009, 2009–2013, 2013–2017).

<i>Abstract.</i>— In 1950, Congressman John Dingell (Michigan) and Senator Edwin Johnson cosponsored a piece of legislation that changed the face of fisheries conservation. The Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act (Public Law 81-681), also known as the Dingell- Johnson Act, allowed excise taxes collected on rods, reels, creels, and artificial baits to be placed into a special account for apportionment to the states. In 1984, the Sport Fish Restoration Act was further strengthened by additional legislation that increased available funds and formed the new Aquatic Resources trust fund. The Wallop-Breaux Amendment, in addition to increasing funds for conservation programs and boating access, allowed states to use up to 10% of the states’ annual apportionment on Aquatic Resources Education. Since 1984, states, nongovernmental organizations and industry have developed numerous programs that engage and educate the public on sound conservation issues that protect and enhance the environment for the next generation. This chapter provides an overview of successful, research-based conservation education programs that augment the overall effort to sustain the fisheries of the United States.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the studies about workaround behavior in the Information Systems (IS) area, addressing its positive and negative aspects and raising the key related issues. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review was conducted to verify how workaround behavior has been approached in IS studies. A qualitative method was adopted and implemented in two stages: selection of articles from the time period 2007-2017 in the databases Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Scopus and analysis of the selected articles. Findings The results showed that many studies have been concerned with identifying the principal reasons for the manifestation of workaround behavior and the measures taken to reduce its impacts. Many studies from international journals examined the implementation of an ERP along with the workaround behavior. The need to expand the national studies on workaround behavior is emphasized, because the majority of the identified studies are international. Research limitations/implications The key limitation is related to the period of analysis, because only articles published since 2007 were selected. Practical implications This paper contributes to both theory and practice, bringing relevant concepts about workaround behavior, and corroborating the importance of the studies on workaround in the IS area. The literature review of the 20 articles analyzed reveals the main features in each article, such as theoretical and methodological aspects that support the research. Based on this analysis, a conceptual map was developed presenting the most relevant points about workaround behavior, where the causes, the negative and positive consequences, the types of solutions and the organizational and individual impacts are presented. Originality/value Research into workaround behavior has increased in recent years, however very few studies have been conducted in Brazil. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no articles regarding Brazil and this subject were published between 2007 and 2017. Thus, this paper seeks to redress this imbalance.

Competitive advantage is originated from core competence. Design talent should not only master professional skill but also possess fashion awareness and get familiar with fashion trend, thus to constantly offer originality for design industry. This study aims to construct indicators used for checking “methods of enhancing fashion awareness” and provide a reference for design students and relevant personnel. As this is an exploratory issue, the present study is conducted through two stages. The first stage uses qualitative grounded theory to establish original theory of ways of enhancing fashion awareness. At the second stage, questionnaires are made based on the constructed theory and then tested among students of fashion design. A total of 1330 valid questionnaires are recycled and sampling error is ±2.69 percentage points under a confidence level of 95%. Research findings are as below: 1. results obtained through qualitative research and quantitative research are highly correlated. It is demonstrated that multi-factor authentication can significantly increase reliability and validity of research. 2. Ways of enhancing fashion awareness include three aspects namely “knowledge internalization”, “information analyzing & processing”, and “profession improvement & practice”. 3. Average score of experts and fashion design students’ identification of fashion awareness enhancement methods is 4.04 (full score being 5). Based on above results this study proposes following suggestions: when making curriculum plan, design departments should put a greater emphasis on contents and courses about three aspects of fashion awareness enhancement; theory and practice should be considered simultaneously; they should also increase courses related with design methods and originality inspiration so as to enhance design students’ competitive advantages.
