From ignorance to knowledge: Sexual consent and queer stories

The problem of sexual assault has received increasing public attention over the last few years, with an increasing focus on the concept of sexual consent to solve the problem. Education efforts focus on teaching people what consent is and how to explicitly communicate about sex, constructing consent as a knowledge problem. Using the stories of queer adults, this study calls for the development of an epistemology of sexual consent. I argue that the current research and scholarship fail to recognise existing knowledge about sexual consent, relegating sexual consent to an epistemology of ignorance. Queer participants in this study demonstrated sophisticated knowledge of sexual consent through their talk on the role of verbal consent cues and articulating how they “tune in” to their partners during sex. Within their talk, verbal consent was sometimes viewed as essential to consent, while at times was not necessary, and at other times was not enough to understand a partner's sexual consent. Importantly, they described deep knowledge about partners’ comfort, discomfort or hesitation through “tuning in”. Developing an epistemology of sexual consent requires recognising and valuing what participants tell us about what they know about their partners’ willingness to engage in sex.

METAPHYSICS OF LANGUAGE AS A TEACHING ABOUT DEEP KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE WORLD AND MAN

In linguistics, there are traditions coming from W. von Humboldt, to consider language not just as a system of signs or an instrument of cognition, but also as a spiritual entity. The article shows the importance of metaphysical teaching about language for revealing indepth knowledge about the world and man. The purpose of the article is to explore the deep and irrational aspects of the language that are almost inaccessible for rational comprehension, but they play a huge role in the formation of the spirituality of both an individual and the spiritual code of a nation. As a result, we were able to identify the fundamental deep connection of language with religion and metaphysics.

Re-Membering and Naturing my Life and Work in a Fifth Province

This paper will outline my own systemic journey of engagements and movements in and away from a more natured inclusion in my life and work. Looking back, I can see that from childhood my life was filled with sustainability practices in that I had parents who planted much of our food and never threw away anything that might be useful in the future. In my team, the Fifth Province Associates, one was a farmer’s daughter and grew up with a deep knowledge of our countryside and the other was an ecological and climate activist. How had I managed not to put all this together into a more coherent systemic roadmap before now? I thank Roger Duncan (2018) and many of my colleagues here in this issue for re-minding me of what I already knew and experienced, and how it could be recycled as it were for a possible more useful future (Simon & Salter, 2020; Palmer, 2014; Santin, 2020; Triantafillou et al., 2016; Edwards, 2020). They have facilitated me to re-member experiences around nature practices, the possibilities for love and colonisation in our practices, the co-creation of an indigenous Irish therapy practice and my experiences of a deep spiritual practice which I have seen over and over again to foster resilience and equanimity1 not only in my own life but also in the lives of clients and those in our Sangha. In the Irish language, the word for resilience, athléimneacht is interesting. Athléimneacht directly translated means jumping (across/in) a ford, an open space or a hollow between two objects. I resonate with this translation as it points to a liminal space so important in Celtic consciousness and of course a fifth province space. Maybe resilience or athléimneacht has been called forth as a need in all of us by the sudden advent, fear and stress of a world in panmorphic crisis (Simon, 2021).

LITERARY AND PICTORIAL SOURCES OF THE SHEETS PAINTED BY THE YENISEI OLD BELIEVERS OF CHAPEL CONCORD

The article is devoted to the monuments of modern Old Believers’ culture – hand-drawn wall sheets with large text fragments created by the Old Believers of the Chapel Concord living on the Yenisei. These sheets are both a continuation of the Old Russian and Old Believer traditions and a form of modern propaganda art. In this article, the works of the Old Believers of the 20th century are considered in the context of their historical origins. Statement of the problem. Since the Old Believers’ culture as a whole is characterized by deep knowledge of the previous book culture and traditionalism of thinking, for comprehensive assessment of the painted sheets as a cultural phenomenon, it seems necessary to establish to what extent the creators of these monuments, which have an ultramodern form, were guided by tradition. The purpose of the article is to identify the literary and pictorial sources of the painted sheets of the Yenisei chapels and to characterize the features of their use. Review of scientific literature. The monuments were recently put into scientific circulation by a group of scientists who conducted archaeografical expeditions in Yenisei Siberia. The published works by A.A. Prigarin, E.V. Bykova, A.V. Kostrov, and A.A. Storozhenko are mainly devoted to the problem of visualization of images and characteristics of the environment for these sheets. Methodology. Classical historical, philological and comparative methods are used in the work. The results of the study. Specific sources of such sheets as “Two Roads – Two Ways”, “Ship of Faith” (“Ship of the Cross”), “World Wide Web. The World Wide Net” revealed the exact textual and pictorial quotations used by their creators from various editions of the facial Apocalypse, and the Life of Basil the New. In addition, the tradition is shown, within the framework of which the sheet “The inner state of the human heart during a righteous and sinful life” was created. Conclusion. A detailed analysis of the hand-drawn pictures that exist among modern Yenisei Old Believers of the Chapel Concord, shows that with all their modern content and form, they continue and creatively develop the age-old Old Believers’ tradition, which is based on a high book culture and religious thinking. Deep knowledge of this tradition is precisely confirmed by a variety of not only textual, but also pictorial quotations from the Apocalypse and other authoritative eschatological writings.

ORGANISING COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITIES EFFECTIVELY IN TEACHING ENGLISH GRAMMAR IN A HIGH SCHOOL IN CAN THO CITY, VIETNAM / TỔ CHỨC CÁC HOẠT ĐỘNG GIAO TIẾP HIỆU QUẢ TRONG DẠY NGỮ PHÁP TIẾNG ANH TẠI MỘT TRƯỜNG TRUNG HỌC PHỔ THÔNG Ờ THÀNH PHỐ CẦN THƠ, VIỆT NAM

This study was conducted to investigate the effective organization of communicative activities in the periods of teaching English grammar skill. The site of this study was High school Teacher Practice-Can Tho University, in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The questionnaire and semi-structured interview protocol were the two main tools in gathering data from students and teachers of English at a high school. First, the research analyzed the problems of organizing “communicative activities” in teaching English grammar in high school. The problems related to teachers’ communicative method preference, the deep knowledge of communicative activities, and methodology compromise between teachers and students. They also were the noise and disorder acceptance, readiness for hard work, and the deep knowledge of English and wide understanding life. Moreover, role play is the challenge for weak students and the requirement for them. The troubles concerning with a structure were the most difficulties for students. On the other hand, this study found that noise, disorder, grouping were some suggestions for more effective communicative activities. Besides, furniture and seating arrangement, choice of genres and topics of game, monitoring and time limitation also were the best solutions for better communicative activities in teaching grammar. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0901/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

HELP-DKT: An Interpretable Cognitive Model of How Students Learn Programming Based on Deep Knowledge Tracing

Student cognitive models are playing an essential role in intelligent online tutoring for programming courses. These models capture students' learning interactions and store them in the form of a set of binary responses, thereby failing to utilize rich educational information in the learning process. Moreover, the recent development of these models has been focused on improving the prediction performance and tended to adopt deep neural networks in building the end-to-end prediction frameworks. Although this approach can provide an improved prediction performance, it may also cause difficulties in interpreting the student's learning status, which is crucial for providing personalized educational feedback. To address this problem, this paper provides an interpretable cognitive model named HELP-DKT, which can infer how students learn programming based on deep knowledge tracing. HELP-DKT has two major advantages. First, it implements a feature-rich input layer, where the raw codes of students are encoded to vector representations, and the error classifications as concept indicators are incorporated. Second, it can infer meaningful estimation of student abilities while reliably predicting future performance. The experiments confirm that HELP-DKT can achieve good prediction performance and present reasonable interpretability of student skills improvement. In practice, HELP-DKT can personalize the learning experience of novice learners.

Dsadvisor: A Tool to Support Predictive Tasks in Data Science

Currently, professionals from the most diverse areas of knowledge need to explore their data repositories in order to extract knowledge and create new products or services. Several tools have been proposed in order to facilitate the tasks involved in the Data Science lifecycle. However, such tools require their users to have specific (and deep) knowledge in different areas of Computing and Statistics, making their use practically unfeasible for non-specialist professionals in data science. In this paper, we propose a tool, which aims to encourage non-expert users to build machine learning models to solve predictive tasks, extracting knowledge from their own data repositories. More specifically, DSAdvisor these professionals in predictive tasks involving regression and classification
