Measured lives in educational psychology

Why is the work of educational researcher John Hattie’s work so popular today? This is the question we will try to answer in this paper. Based on a very large empirical database, Hattie calculates the effects of numerous educational interventions and factors influencing student achievements. Despite documented methodological flaws in his work, Hattie’s work keep attracting the attention of policy makers, teachers and educational researchers all over the world. We propose to understand thepopularity of Hattie’s work in relation to the ongoing debate about the legitimation of schooling – using Habermas’ (1976) work Legitimation Crisis as point of departure. Our claim is that Hattie is offering a theoretical synthesis of effective teaching as a way to legitimize modern schooling. However, there are a number of problems with this synthesis, most notably that it does not include the pupils’ intentions for participating.

FUNCTIONAL ASPECT OF GROUPING UNIFIED FORMS OF WORKING DOCUMENTATION ON THE MODEL OF PRODUCTION CLOTHING

The problem of unification of forms of technical description by grouping of types of clothes by functional purpose is investigated. An empirically substantiated empirical database of technical description for the analysis of the optimal version of the control information about the conformity of the sample-reference. Intertype unification is used in nodes not subordinated to the main size: overlays, pockets, collars, cuffs. The pockets are not subject to the size of the unified structural basis, so they are grouped into a module of types of pockets. The mechanism of detection of discrepancies in control measurements of models of a product between standard unified constructive bases and details of models of pockets is offered. The main feature of the basic unified structures is that when changing the design increase, the lengths of the sections change only at the level of the armhole, waist and bottom (files and backs). The lengths of the remaining segments remain constant. The basic bases of the pants design have a constant value of balance and a constant position of the horizontal design lines (waist, hips, knees, bottom). The choice of design and technological solutions given in the technical description on the model of trousers and overalls is made. A matrix of combinations of technical information for control of constant data in a group document is proposed. The module of sorting of forms of the technical description of foreign firms for fixing of unification of constructive and technological parameters of performance of the basic knots of a product is developed. The use in the forms of technical documentation of gradation of the level of quality on the basis of homogeneity of manufacturing technology is based on imitation of the general constructive elements. The results of the calculation of the repetition rate for waistwear confirm the homogeneity of the modifications and the affiliation of units that are not subject to the main size to the design document of the group.

How subjective are Mandarin reason connectives?

Studies in several languages find that causal connectives differ from one another in their prototypical meaning and use, which provides insight into language users’ cognitive categorization of causal relations in discourse. Subjectivity plays a vital role in this process. Using an integrated subjectivity approach, this study aims to give a comprehensive picture of the semantic-pragmatic distinctions between Mandarin reason connectives jìrán ‘since’, yīnwèi and yóuyú ‘because’. The data come from spontaneous conversation, microblog, and newspaper discourse, while most previous studies have focused only on written data. The results show that, despite the contextual differences in discourse from each corpus, the connectives display distinctive and robust profiles. Jìrán is subjective. It prototypically expresses speech act and epistemic causalities featuring speech act and judgment in the consequent. Speaker SoC (subject of consciousness) is actively involved yet remains implicit in the utterances. Yóuyú, by contrast, is objective. It typically expresses volitional and non-volitional content causalities featuring the consequent of physical act and fact, which are usually independent of SoCs. Yīnwèi is neutral in general, with a slight preference to volitional content and epistemic relations, to the consequent of fact, and to speaker SoC. Only one interaction with discourse style is found: in relations introduced by yīnwèi, the linguistic realization of the SoC varies across corpora: significantly more implicit yet few explicit cases in microblogs, yet the opposite is true in conversations. The specific profile of yīnwèi, depending on the ordering of the antecedent and the consequent, is robust across corpora. Furthermore, the relative importance of the associated subjectivity features is determined. In conclusion, the study contributes to our understanding of causal coherence and extends the empirical database that supports the claims of a cognitive account of causal coherence relations.

Sociological methods of studying the history of the great patriotic war: opportunities and limitations

The article reveals the possibilities of using sociological methods to collect the empirical information that relates to the spiritual sphere of everyday life. One of these is the oral history method. Its application allows you to create an empirical database of subjective emotional-sensory data. The necessity of not only knowing this data, but also translating it into the educational space, which ensures the sociocultural continuity of the natural historical process of the development of society, is substantiated.

Parental Knowledge and Child Disclosure as They Relate to Prosocial and Antisocial Behaviors

The chapter focuses on parents’ knowledge of their children’s whereabouts and activities, as well as children’s disclosure of their whereabouts and activities to their parents. Knowledge and disclosure have their conceptual and empirical roots in research on parental monitoring, so the chapter begins with a brief historical review of the parental monitoring research. The review is followed by the presentation of a conceptual model of the processes anteceding child disclosure and parental knowledge, and processes linking parental knowledge and child disclosure with children’s prosocial and antisocial behavior. The conceptual model is followed by a review of empirical studies providing tests of the links and processes specified in the theoretical model. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the limitations of the empirical database and identifies promising avenues for future work on potential connections among knowledge, disclosure, and moral development.

SOCIO-CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION IN THE REGIONS OF NORTHWESTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT: GENERAL AND SPECIAL

The article is devoted to the study of socio-cultural characteristics of the population in several regions of the Northwestern Federal District: the Vologda, Murmansk, Kaliningrad, Novgorod regions and the Republic of Karelia. The unevenness and dynamics of the development of socio-cultural subsystems of these regions are considered based on official statistics using the author's methodology. The socio-cultural characteristics of the population, in particular, the territorial identity, attitude to the place of residence, confidence in the future, migration attitudes, value field and basic interests are analyzed using the current empirical database of opinion polls, conducted in 2016 and 2017. Comparative analysis, which allowed identifying similar and distinctive features of the population in different regions, was used as a research method. The features of the Kaliningrad and Murmansk regions and the Republic of Karelia, which are conditioned by their border position, became especially evident. The findings of the general and distinctive features of socio-cultural characteristics of the population in the studied regions can contribute to improving the effectiveness of socio-economic and migration policies in the development of measures aimed at preserving and enhancing human capital.

The diagnostic information valuation method in servicing tractors

The objective of the article was to develop a method of evaluating diagnostic information basing on the existing systems of agricultural tractors diagnostic used in authorized service centers, which will improve of the quality of the evaluation process. Initially, available tractor diagnostic systems were identified in order to gather information about individual diagnostic signals. Following that, the information was verified by empirical evidence concerning a given failure. Thus, the work presents an original evaluation method of the information obtained from the agricultural tractor diagnostic. Obtaining diagnostic information generates certain costs, hence, it is necessary to rationalize and make the processes efficient. Further part of the thesis contains a description and logical verification of the developed method using empirical database. Finally, we presented the method's application for evaluating diagnostic information obtained from the tractor computer diagnostic, in order to examine its effectiveness and for a final verification.The described method of validating diagnostic information creates new cognitive and pragmatic possibilities.

IMPLEMENTASI JURIMETRI DALAM PENENTUAN JUMLAH NAFKAH ANAK / Jurimetrics In Deciding Child Support Allowances

Berbagai pendekatan dilakukan dalam menganalisis nilai-nilai keadilan, yang secara ontologis merupakan nilai abstrak dan ideal, yang kemudian ingin ditampilkan dalam suatu bangunan pemahaman yang lebih empiris. Jurimetri merupakan salah satu perwujudan dari hal itu. Jurimetri ingin melahirkan satu analisis hukum berbasis data-data empiris yang dianggap lebih objektif dan teruji. Jurimetri diterapkan dalam aspek-aspek tertentu, seperti perhitungan ganti rugi dalam perbuatan melawan hukum dan penghitungan jumlah nafkah anak yang adil dan layak. Jurimetri sangat kompatibel diterapkan dalam hal-hal tersebut, terutama sekali jika Hakim ingin menetapkan suatu nilai yang dianggap paling adil dan layak melalui suatu rangkaian pengumpulan, pengolahan, dan analisis data kuantitatif, baik dengan pendekatan matematis sederhana atau yang lebih kompleks.There are some perspectives in analyzing justice as an empirical and testable concept. Jurimetrics is one of those perspectives to perform justice as a value to be measured and tested. Jurimetrics concern on analyzing legal issue based on empirical database. Jurimetrics mainly applied in some cases, such as indemnity based on unlawful act and deciding child livelihood. Jurimetrics is highly compatible for those matter notably if Judges want to established a testable and comprehensive value. Jurimetrics is applied by retrieving, processing, and analyzing quantitative database either by simple or complex mathematical approach.

CzEngVallex: a Bilingual Czech-English Valency Lexicon

This paper introduces a new bilingual Czech-English verbal valency lexicon (called CzEng-Vallex) representing a relatively large empirical database. It includes 20,835 aligned valency frame pairs (i.e., verb senses which are translations of each other) and their aligned arguments. This new lexicon uses data from the Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank and also takes advantage of the existing valency lexicons for both languages: the PDT-Vallex for Czech and the EngVallex for English. The CzEngVallex is available for browsing as well as for download in the LINDAT/CLARIN repository. The CzEngVallex is meant to be used not only by traditional linguists, lexicographers, translators but also by computational linguists both for the purposes of enriching theoretical linguistic accounts of verbal valency from a cross-linguistic perspective and for an innovative use in various NLP tasks.
