The Influences of Organizational Structure in the Hidden Curriculum: Implications in School Practice

The school as a social variable is an important driver and agent of change. At its heart is the curriculum, which gears the school of different teaching-learning experiences as well as supporting activities that also contribute to the overall school experience. Curriculum, as a knowledge, equates to the stakeholders transmitting the content developed to the learners; as a process, involves the stakeholders in the actual teaching-learning practice; and as a product, is what the students have been equipped with— knowledge, skills, and values. All approaches underpin the involvement of various stakeholders in the school as an organization. The relationship between curriculum and stakeholders has been sought out, however, in the deeper context of the unseen curriculum, it is yet to be properly scrutinized. This paper attempts to review the hidden relationship between the school as an organization and the curriculum. An implication and future direction are drawn out from the existing pieces of literature.

Sex differences in response to environmental and social breeding cues in an amphibian

The relative influence of climatic and social factors on sex-specific variation in reproductive behaviour remains poorly understood. Here, we examine the influence of multiple climatic cues in combination with a social cue on the reproductive behaviours of males and females in a terrestrial breeding toadlet (Pseudophryne coriacea). Over a 115-day breeding season, arrival patterns of each sex, and male calling activity, were recorded daily, while climatic variables were logged continuously. Multivariate analysis showed that arrival of males at the breeding site, as well as male nightly calling activity, were most strongly influenced by a climatic variable (rainfall). By contrast, female arrival was strongly correlated with a social variable (male calling activity), with abiotic conditions having no influence, other than a moderate influence of lunar phase (lunar illumination). These results suggest that cues used for breeding are sex specific and provide new evidence that combinations of climatic and social cues can be integrated into breeding decisions.

INVESTIGATING COMPLIMENT RESPONSE STRATEGIES IN AMERICAN ENGLISH AND VIETNAMESE UNDER THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL STATUS

The present study seeks to investigate the effect of the social status on the use of compliment response (CR) strategies in American English and Vietnamese. To this end, two sets of data were collected with the help of a discourse completion task (DCT) illustrating twelve situational settings in which compliments were produced by ones of higher, equal, and lower status with the informants. Statistical analysis provides descriptive statistics results in terms of CR strategies on macro- and micro-level, i.e. these findings demonstrate the CR strategies of acceptance, amendment, non-acceptance, combination, and opting out. Furthermore, inferential statistics have revealed if there is a global standard in the use of CRs between American and Vietnamese native speakers. Finally, the results suggested a significant effect for the treated intervening social variable of status in determining the type of CRs.

De las fichas de marfil a la inteligencia artificial: panorama histórico de la evolución del juego como herramienta de enseñanza de lenguas

El artículo esboza un panorama histórico de la evolución de la noción de juego como herramienta de enseñanza de lenguas y, especialmente, de lenguas extranjeras desde la antigüedad hasta nuestros días. Se parte del postulado de que el juego no remite a un referente fenomenológico único, sino que debe ser estudiado como una construcción social variable, cuyo universo semántico es rico y contradictorio, pues opera según una lógica sedimentaria. A través de la revisión de la literatura pedagógica en general y de los textos en didáctica de lenguas y culturas en particular, se elucida las razones por las cuales diferentes corrientes de pensamiento han relacionado a lo largo de los siglos tanto juego y educación como juego y didáctica de lenguas y culturas. Este recorrido diacrónico precede a una reflexión en torno al estatus actual del juego, en una época dominada por el enfoque orientado a la acción y marcada por una creciente ludicización.

L' impact des relations interpersonnelles et du soutien social sur la santé psychologique des policiers

Selon la littérature, le travail du policier est un métier à risque étant donné son contexte d’intervention souvent urgent et imprévisible (De Soir, Daubechies et Van den Steene, 2012; cités par Desjardins, 2018). Le métier de policier comporte également un double mandat, soit celui de protéger la population tout en faisant régner l’ordre (Oligny, 1991). Ces particularités rendent le travail des policiers plus à risque que d’autres métiers sur le plan de la santé mentale (Marchand, 2007). Malgré l’importance accordée à la santé au travail et les risques associés au métier de policier, peu d’études empiriques sont répertoriées à ce sujet au sein de cette population. Silveri (2017) a identifié dans son article le soutien social par les collègues et par les supérieurs comme faisant partie des ressources les plus importantes pour atténuer les « effets des exigences du travail sur le stress ». La présente recherche s’intéresse plus spécifiquement à l’effet des relations interpersonnelles (variable indépendante) et du soutien social (variable indépendante) sur la santé psychologique des policiers (variable dépendante). Le modèle théorique de Gilbert, Dagenais-Desmarais et Savoie (2011) a été retenu pour définir la variable dépendante composée du bien-être psychologique (BEPT; sérénité, engagement et harmonie sociale) et de la détresse psychologique (DET; anxiété, désengagement et irritabilité). La présente étude suppose que la qualité perçue des relations interpersonnelles avec les collègues et le supérieur ainsi que le soutien social sont reliés positivement au bien-être psychologique. L’étude suppose également que la qualité des relations et le soutien social [...]

Ethnicity and the Pragmatic Strategies in American Christian Sermons

This study is concerned with the pragmatic aspects in American Christian sermons by White-American and African-American preachers. The study aims at detecting the noticeable differences between preachers in terms of the pragmatic strategies and tracing the social variable of ethnicity. The data under scrutiny are selected from official websites in forms of videos transcribed by the researchers and then analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The two types of analysis help the study to arrive at a variety of conclusions, the most central of which is there are considerable differences between the White-American and African-American preachers regarding their use of the pragmatic strategies. It also concludes that the social variable of ethnicity affects the African-American preachers more than their counterpart.
