Así mismo, ofrece información sobre el nombre científico, familia, nombre común, ubicación, características y usos de cada una de las especies que allí se observan.
Finalmente, a través de este catálogo pretendemos coadyuvar los esfuerzos de los pobladores de esta zona, para lograr incluirla como uno de los lugares preferidos; destino turístico nacional e internacional
Digital Humanities Futures, Open Social Scholarship, and Engaged Publics
Full text linkAre academics alone responsible for the evolution of the digital humanities, and its future? Will the future of digital humanities be shaped by pieces in collections such as this, typically written for other academics? We think not, or at least, not entirely. Rather, we begin with the premise that, while the exact future of the digital humanities is ultimately unknowable, it will be shaped by a number of current and emerging forces—academic, individual, institutional, social, societal, and infrastructural among them. More than an academic thought experiment, the impact and influence of these broader forces draw on the interrelation of theory, praxis, and extra-academic involvement, and necessitate the involvement of all those who have a stock in that future. In this context, we are increasingly invested in the concept of open social scholarship, and how the digital humanities embraces, and may one day even fully embody, such a concept. Originating in partnered consultations among a group representing these broader perspectives, the term open social scholarship refers to academic practice that enables the creation, dissemination, and engagement of open research by specialists and non-specialists in accessible and significant ways.1 Our contribution to the present volume suggests that open social scholarship supports many possible futures for the digital humanities, especially as its foundation incorporates a shift from notions of audience for academic work to publics engaged by and in that work
Chinese and Taiwanese Histories Recorded by Circulation Coins
Full text linkLawrence K. Wang (2023). Chinese & Taiwanese Histories Recorded by Circulation Coins; In: "Evolutionary Progress in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM)", Lawrence K. Wang and Hung-ping Tsao (editors). Volume 5, Number 10B, October 2023; 5(10B), 90 pages, . Lenox Institute Press, MA, USA. https://doi.org/10.17613/gfnr-v592 ...... ABSTRACT: Chinese and Taiwanese histories are introduced through the coins in circulation from ancient time to current years, with emphasis on modern histories of Qing Dynasty, Republic of China (mainland China up to 1949), People’s Republic of China, and Republic of China (Taiwan, 1949 to present). The circulation coins used for trade along the ancient Land Silk Road and Sea Silk Road are introduced. The technical presentation was held in August 2011, and the color slides are updated in 2023 for academic publication

‘Daisyfield in the crucible’: Afrikaners, education and poor whites in Southern Rhodesia, 1911–1948
Full text linkThis article examines the history of Daisyfield School, an Afrikaner children's orphanage and school in Southern Rhodesia. The existence of an Afrikaner school in a self-consciously British settler colony represented a distinctive settler project within the settler state, one supported by the school’s transnational connections and one whose aims often conflicted with the state. These aims centred around the rehabilitation of poor white children, and we demonstrate how non-state institutions engaged in far-reaching interventions into the lives of children identified as poor whites. We also show how the children who were recipients of this treatment could resist it by crossing social and geographical boundaries. Challenges to Daisyfield’s regime produced a kind of solidarity between the school and state to suppress this challenge as the existence of poor whites threatened racial boundaries in the colony
Evaluación formativa y autorregulación del aprendizaje: El modelo Zimmerman aplicado a los estudiantes de educación superior
Full text linkLos países europeos han reconocido la importancia de la evaluación formativa en sus nuevos currículos, este énfasis en la evaluación no es un desarrollo reciente, ya que la evaluación formativa se ha asociado durante mucho tiempo con la diferenciación educativa y la igualdad de oportunidades en la educación. Para los profesionales que ya trabajan en sus respectivos campos, a menudo es necesario buscar una mayor especialización para avanzar en sus carreras en la educación superior. Esto incluye oportunidades en universidades, instituciones no universitarias, así como en escuelas pedagógicas superiores y tecnologías. Las investigaciones realizadas en América Latina durante las últimas cuatro décadas han demostrado consistentemente que los métodos de enseñanza tradicionales, que se enfocan principalmente en la transmisión de conocimientos, son ineficaces para promover un aprendizaje significativo.
La evidencia acumulada en diversas materias indica que la verdadera comprensión y el desarrollo de prácticas científicas requieren de la participación activa de los estudiantes en la construcción de su propio conocimiento. En el mundo globalizado de hoy, la educación superior es ampliamente reconocida como un factor crucial en el desarrollo de un país. Esto es especialmente cierto ahora, ya que los profesionales de todos los campos buscan especializarse en sus áreas de especialización, existe una tendencia creciente entre los estudiantes a explorar diversos temas y ampliar sus horizontes profesionales. En Perú, el sistema de educación superior ofrece a los profesionales de todos los campos la oportunidad de realizar una formación integral y especialización. Por lo tanto, la autorregulación se vuelve crucial y es necesario abordar varias teorías para apoyar a los estudiantes en este sentido
Citas fantasmas en artículos científicos: problemática creciente ante el uso de la inteligencia artificial
Full text linkn la última década, el campo de la inteligencia artificial (IA) ha experimentado avances significativos. Uno de los desarrollos más notables es el modelo de lenguaje Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), que ha revolucionado la forma en que las máquinas pueden interactuar con los humanos. Su capacidad para comprender, generar y responder texto ha llevado a su aplicación en una amplia variedad de campos, incluyendo la redacción de artículos y documentos científico-técnicos
Teaching with Learner Corpus Data
Full text linkOne type of resource that can facilitate teachers’ access to texts is the language corpus (plural corpora), which is defined as an electronically searchable collection of texts organized by text types and context representation, such as news articles, blog posts, dialogues, and others. While access to these texts provides teachers with an array of possible topics to inform both grammar and writing classes, it may be difficult to select texts that are appropriate to course content and students’ proficiency levels. In other words, texts from native-speaker corpora may lack examples of text types relevant to learners' proficiency levels as they are full of vocabulary and grammar that is unfamiliar to students, especially at the novice and intermediate levels. For this reason, we turn to learner corpora as an alternative. In this article, we discuss how to create corpus-informed activities using learner corpus data to teach language in context, facilitating analysis of grammar and writing in an integrated manner. First, we briefly discuss the basic elements of corpus search and their pedagogical applications. Then, we share a sample hands-off lesson created using the corpus Multilingual Academic Corpus of Assignments Writing and Speech (MACAWS), which contains written and oral assignments produced by students in the University of Arizona's Portuguese and Russian foreign language programs (Staples et al., 2019-, available at macaws.corporaproject.org). We hope that teachers use these examples as a springboard to expand this approach to other languages. To do so, we conclude by giving directions on where to find similar corpora resources and how to adapt these principles to their own contexts
