In this study, the collage "The Hitler Gang" dated 1944 by Kurt Schwitters who is one of the Dadaism artists has been analyzed based on "iconographic and iconological criticism method" which was developed by an art historian, Erwin Panofsky, in 20th century. The said work has been examined under three stages which are natural subject matter (factual and expressive meaning), conventional subject matter (secondary meaning) and intrinsic subject matter (content) according to this method of Panofsky; it has been aimed to make the work more understandable by the viewer with this method. The positions and expressions of the visuals within the composition have been examined to find the natural subject matter; the relationships of the visuals with one another have been examined by addressing the points at which the work points to find the conventional subject matter and various resources have been employed to reveal this relationship; the life of the artist and the conditions of the period have been examined to find the intrinsic subject matter. Panofsky states that intrinsic subject matter provides the real meaning of the work. It can also be stated that the technique of the work is effective for expressing the period in which it was made. The collage technique employed by Schwitters corresponds to the destruction of the war. The collage "The Hitler Gang" emphasizes the dictator Adolf Hitler and his gang as can be understood from its name. In this regard, the study focuses on how policies applied by Hitler during First and Second World Wars changed the art and artistic perception through the work of Schwitters. Keywords: Erwin Panofsky, Art Criticism, Iconography, Iconology, Kurt Schwitters, The Hitler Gang

From a pool of secondary students (n = 161), 20 students were chosen who had high (formal operations) scores and 20 who had low (concrete operations) scores on two paper-and-pencil measures of Piagetian formal reasoning (the Test of Logical Thinking and the Longeot Test). The students made similarity judgments among all possible concept pairs from 13 geometric concepts and 10 mathematical expressions from a unit on ratio, proportion, and similarity. Multidimensional scaling procedures showed that despite idiosyncrasies in individual structures, clear prototypical maps could be derived for both the formal and concrete groups. In addition, formal operational students structured subject matter content significantly more like subject matter experts than concrete operational students did.

The Regional Research Program has potential for being the elite among research programs and to be a high status symbol for those associated with it. That it is not so means that it is not achieving its potential and that it is falling short of the original objectives. Since its inception, the regional research program has been praised and condemned. There appears to be more dissatisfaction than satisfaction with both the administrative procedures and the subject matter content of the program. Control of the program, the administrative structure and its effectiveness have been the subject of much discussion and debate. Some say the program has yielded little, and some of those who defend it do so on the basis that it has enabled researchers to meet and discuss their work, which in itself is worthwhile.

Purpose – entailed assessing directions in subject matter content and the types of research strategy employed. In research using human participants, the purposes were to assess: sampling strategy, statements limiting generalizability, incentive use, and the use of undergraduates (UGs) as participants. Finally, with studies utilizing UG participants, the purpose of this paper was to assess: directions in subject matter content, research strategy, sampling strategy, justification of participants, statements limiting generalizability, and incentive use. Design/methodology/approach – A content analysis of fashion/clothing research articles (n=963) appearing in three scholarly journals between 1996 and 2013. Findings – Consumer behavior was the most frequent research topic and survey methodology dominated the research strategy employed. Majority of samples were nonprobability, slightly over half of the authors provided statements limiting generalizability of their findings, use of incentives was routinely not reported, and a little over a third used UGs as participants. Of researchers using UGs, consumer behavior was the most frequent topic, UGs were justified as participants, and when both UGs and nonstudents were included as participants, comparisons in responses were typically not made. Research limitations/implications – Articles included were limited to those published in three journals. Practical implications – Author/reviewer guidelines should suggest providing: an appropriate rationale for UG use; descriptive population statistics; statements limiting generalization; information describing the sampling technique; and information on the use of incentives. Also when authors have UGs and nonstudent adults as participants it would be useful to analyze for significant differences between the two groups. Originality/value – First investigation of use of UGs as participants in clothing/fashion research.

This study aims to describe the improvement of the learning process for writing argumentative paragraphs through a group investigation model for X6 grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Wonomulyo. This type of research is classroom action research which is carried out in two cycles. The subjects in this study were 39 students. Data collection is done by writing paragraphs in the form of argumentation tests and observations. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that the number of students who were active in choosing subject matter, exercises in determining facts or evidence that support paragraphs based on observations made, writing argumentative paragraphs, teacher performance in directing students, assigning students to choose subject matter, looking for references then conducting investigations, and writing argumentative paragraphs in the first cycle is 60,16% while in the second cycle it is 80,55%. The results of paragraph learning based on six aspects of scoring include argumentative characteristics, alignment of content with the subject matter, content organization, use of language (effective sentences), accuracy and accuracy of diction, and spelling and reading showed improvement. In the first cycle, the average value of writing argumentative paragraphs obtained was 71,53 with a sufficient score, students who got a score of 75 were 11 students (28,20%). In cycle II, the average value of writing argumentative paragraphs was 81.74 with good scores. Students who got a score of 75 were 33 students (84,16%). This shows that the learning outcomes have met the standard of success, namely 75%.
