The awareness that mathematics exists at the respective culture needs to be developed in students’ mind through the integration of ethnomathematics at school. School mathematics is different from pure formal mathematics, while ethnomathematics studies pure informal mathematics as well as applied mathematics. This article contains conceptual reviews focused on the comprehension and scope of ethnomathematics, as well as some views on school mathematics to find out the connection between ethnomathematics and school mathematics, also the role of ethnomathematics in school mathematics. The philosophical foundation that connects ethnomatematics and school mathematics is the nature of mathematics as a social construction. Based on this view, it is identified that there are three connections between ethnomatematics and school mathematics, namely ethnomatematics as a learning object of school mathematics, bridge of informal knowledge leading to formal mathematics, and didactic or pedagogical foundations of school mathematics.

This article advances a conceptualization of service innovation as socially constructed through resource integration and sensemaking. By developing this view, the current study goes beyond an outcome perspective, to include the collective nature of service innovation and the role of the social context in affecting the service innovation process. Actors enact and perform service innovation through two approaches, one that is more concerted and another that emerges in some way. Each approach is characterized by distinct resource integration processes, in which the boundary objects (artifacts, discourses, and places) play specific roles. They act as bridge-makers that connect actors, thereby fostering resource integration and shared meanings.

The authors discuss the method of designing the distance learning didactic materials for the asynchronous mode. The approach is based on the modular structure of the fundamental knowledge. The new role of the teacher is being discussed as well as its impact on the didactic materials’ structure and content. The paper introduces the knowledge representation model designed to meet the requirements of theoretical knowledge presentation in a selected domain using the Learning Object concept.

There has been much concern with the abundance of misinformation in public discourse. Although misinformation has always played a role in political debate, its character has shifted from support for a specific position to a “shock and chaos” stream of misinformation and conspiracy theories. Exposure to conspiracy theories can have considerable adverse impact on society. I argue that scholars therefore have a responsibility to combat conspiracy theories and misinformation generally. Exercising this responsibility requires an understanding of the varied rhetorical roles of conspiracy theories. Here I focus on instances in which people reject unequivocal scientific evidence and invoke conspiracy theories, or radical anti-institutional positions, based on ideological imperatives. I argue that those positions do not always reflect true attitudes. Instead, people may deploy extreme rhetoric as a pragmatic tool of political expression. I investigate this possibility by focusing on the role of conspiracy theories in the rejection of science. Conspiracist cognition and rhetoric violate the epistemic standards that underpin science. Ironically, this violation of epistemic standards renders conspiracy theories useful as a rationally deployed tool that serves political purposes. I present a study that confirms that conspiracy theories can be deployed to support worldview-motivated denial of science. I provide suggestions how scholars can debunk or defang conspiratorial rhetoric.

Using a societal analysis perspective that articulates structural, institutional and cognitive dimensions, this article outlines a model examining the contribution made by the schooling system to the social construction of elites. The model is put to the test by a comparative study of elitist educational pathways and their contrasting organisational modes in France, Belgium and Chile. The article shows that both the education of elites, and the role played by school in providing access to privileged social positions, continue to be marked by the distinctive historical construction of each society and education system, despite cross-cutting trends that are linked to globalisation.

This article is based on the role of female lecturer as working women in assigning meaning and building her marriage. Several perspectives were used as theoretical framework, i.e. Phenomenology, and Social Construction of Reality.  Subjects for research were purposefully sampled, and consisted of six female lecturer in Unisba. This research employed in-depth interview as data collecting technique. This research has resulted in some findings. Marriage behavior is actually a conscious action, means that it doesn’t exist in one consciousness without special effort to comprehend it. Furthermore, marriage behavior is based on goals which could be clustered to normative, psychological, social and economy goals. Meanwhile, adjustment in marriage appeared on some phases faced by husband and wife as couple.  Ideal communication situation was enabled based on support, trust, openness, and proper time.
