Time Regulation as Institutional Condition for Children’s Outdoor Play and Cultural Formation in Kindergarten

Time regulation is an important aspect of the everyday life in any kindergarten and has an impact on which activities are given priority. In this case study, the outdoor playtime in one kindergarten in China and one in Norway is compared based on the understanding that children’s cultural formation develops in a dialectical relationship between children’s interests and motives and societal, institutional, and weather conditions. The aim of the article is to identify how time regulations provide conditions for children’s play and cultural formation during outdoor playtime. The research question is: How does institutional time regulation interplay with the pedagogical practice and children’s activities in the outdoor playtime? Employing a cultural-historical approach, drawing on Hedegaard’s concepts of development and cultural formation as an individual, institutional and societal process, the dialectical interplay between institutional time regulation and children’s engagement in outdoor activities is the unit of analysis in this study. Our findings indicate that the kindergarten teachers in the Chinese kindergarten as well as the Norwegian kindergarten aim to adjust the pedagogical content and time schedule to the traditions, values, and conditions in both countries. This chapter contributes to knowledge about the interplay between institutional conditions and children’s activities and cultural formation in outdoor play.

Construcción y validación de una escala de medición de condiciones institucionales para promover la innovación educativa con TIC

A measurement scale is described as a contribution to the field of ICT (information and communications technology) integration in a particular set of dimensions partially explored in the scientific literature. The institutional conditions for ICT integration has been recently studied as determinant for successful educational innovation. This work describes four dimensions that are necessary to understand those institutional conditions: technology leadership, management of innovation with ICT, and the appropriation of ICT policies at institutional and individual levels. The principal contribution of this work is to provide a valid and reliable scale (α=.96) with metric properties that are useful for researchers on ICT in education. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrates the grouping of the items in the proposed subscales and their relevance to understand the institutional condition for ICT innovation. The scale allows the institutional diagnosis in relation to the conditions that are decisive for the successful integration of ICT as support for educational innovation processes.

Strategi Pemberdayaan Kelembagaan Petani

<strong>English</strong><br />Decision making process among farmers is a community-based action which is viewed as an entry point of technology dissemination. Institutional empowerment has strong ties with farmer’s techno-social condition. Success in an empowerment program is a result of interaction among empowerment elements and the applied empowerment strategy. Empowerment effort and strategy is an overlapping pendulum of evolution-revolution paradigms in a proportion relevant to the farmer’s institutional condition and needs.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Proses pengambilan keputusan dalam masyarakat petani merupakan suatu tindakan berbasis kondisi komunitas (community-based action) yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai salah satu celah masuk (entry-point) upaya diseminasi teknologi. Dengan demikian setiap upaya pemberdayaan kelembagaan petani memiliki keterkaitan kuat dengan kondisi tekno-sosial komunitas petani. Keberhasilan suatu program pemberdayaan merupakan resultan interaksi elemen-elemen pemberdayaan dengan strategi pemberdayaan yang diterapkan. Upaya dan strategi pemberdayaan merupakan suatu pendulum antara paradigma evolusi dan paradigma revolusi yang saling mengisi (overlap) dalam proporsi yang sesuai dengan kondisi dan kebutuhan kelembagaan petani.

Institutional Analysis of Watershed Manangement in Batam Island

This study aimed to look at the institutional condition of the current watershed management and institutional models (management authority) which were relevant to Batam Island in the future. The data collection was conducted by interview techniques and was validated through focus group discussions. The data were described and analyzed with SCP (structure, conduct, performance) method for relevant stakeholders’ data, legislation, and with KIPA (quadrant interpretative performance analysis) method for data of interest and power of stakeholders. The results showed that the watershed management institutional in Batam Island was still overlapping. According to the regulations, the Management Board (BP) of Batam Island was given the authority to manage and to use land and water; on the other hand the Local Government (Mayor) was facilitated by BPDAS KEPRI (Watershed Management Institute of Riau Islands) to also arrange an integrated watershed management. The results of discussions showed that BP Batam was an institute of having interest and power as well as key position in achieving successful watershed management.

Beyond East and West: Reorienting Political Theory through the Prism of Modernity

While critiquing the dominance of the Western tradition in the discipline of political theory, recent methodological discussions in Comparative Political Theory (CPT) fail to move beyond the East-West dichotomy. More specifically, CPT does not offer the resources to deal with global convergence as embodied in the phenomenon of modernity. I focus on the emergence of the sovereign state in the modern period and argue that the universal acceptance of the state form creates a globally-shared institutional condition. This condition, in turn, necessitates a shared normative and conceptual apparatus centered on ideals like constitutionalism, rights, and democracy. Two implications follow from my argument. First, we should reconceptualize the history of political thought such that we move from an East/West division to a modern/pre-modern division. Second, alternatives to the dominant (“Western”) model are not real alternatives unless they transcend the sovereign state itself, charting a new course of multilayered local, regional, and global political arrangements.
