    Cut-elimination, substitution and normalisation

    Date of Acceptance: 01/2015We present a proof (of the main parts of which there is a formal version, checked with the Isabelle proof assistant) that, for a G3-style calculus covering all of intuitionistic zero-order logic, with an associated term calculus, and with a particular strongly normalising and confluent system of cut-reduction rules, every reduction step has, as its natural deduction translation, a sequence of zero or more reduction steps (detour reductions, permutation reductions or simplifications). This complements and (we believe) clarifies earlier work by (e.g.) Zucker and Pottinger on a question raised in 1971 by Kreisel.Peer reviewe

    Adults’ Involvement in Social Pretend Play in the Context of Early Childhood Education

    No full text
    Educational positions on adult involvement in social pretend play vary. Some view it as an interference that could disrupt children's play (e.g., Korat et al., 2002), while others believe that adult involvement could enhance the quality or complexity of children's play, leading to improved learning and social development (e.g., Bodrova et al., 2013; Weisberg et al., 2013). The role that adults take on during play matters. Research suggests that less involved behaviour, such as running back and forth or being unavailable is negatively related to children’s engagement in play (Singer et al., 2014). On the other hand, taking a more active role as a co-player or play leader has been shown to increase children's social interactions with peers and their level of social play (Gaviria-Loaiza et al., 2017). We conducted a controlled intervention study with a pre-, post-test, and follow-up design on pretend play tutoring and children’s social development. The study sample consisted of 27 Swiss play groups with N=215 three- to four-year-old children, who were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: Pretend play tutoring, provision of role play material, or usual interaction. The results showed that taking an active role in children's pretend play improved the quality of their play compared to solely providing play materials or usual interaction. This ultimately enhanced children's social competencies (Kalkusch et al., 2020; Jaggy et al., 2023). Implications for the design of child-centered learning environments that encourage peer interactions and social development are discussed.)

    I remember teaching English at Seabrook

    No full text
    In this "I remember" memoir, Isabell Waugh, a former teacher at Seabrook, compares and constrasts the different groups of students she taught. She remembers that native-born American teenagers tended to be more concerned with athletics and social activities, than academic matters. In comparison, Estonian and Japanese parents did not tolerate low academic performance, so students from the two groups often competed intensely with each other for academic achievement and recognition. Isabelle recalls that the Estonians were, in general, more sophisticated and better educated. Most of the children knew 3-5 languages, and were more advanced in math and science. She sensed that some Estonian parents felt that their homes at Seabrook were temporary, and that they would be returning to Estonia at some point. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms

    Isabelle Bell to Susan Niemcewicz, December 23, 1800

    Isabelle Bell wrote to Susan U. Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Bell expressed her disappointment in not receiving a line from Susan. She sent Bell Lucretia Rephans subscription epistle, but Susan refrained from writing a letter to her. Bell did not execute any of Susan’s commissions in New York because her time there was short. Miss Resham heard that Mr. B Livingston told his sister, Mrs. J. Livingston that he would offer Bell a salary to live in his house and take charge of his children’s education. Asked if Susan what she thought of her being an author and if Susan would subscribe to a small volume that may have the good fortune to rival the poems of the immortal Scarron.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1143/thumbnail.jp

    Formalization of Isabelle Meta Logic in NuPRL

    No full text
    NuPRL and Isabelle are two general purpose theorem provers. Both of them are based on a version of Constructive Higher Order Type Theory. In an earlier work the author has proposed an informal semantics of Isabelle Meta Logic in an extension of NuPRL Type Theory. An automated converter, based on this semantics, has been developed, that translates Isabelle theorem statements into NuPRL. This work presents a formalization of the above semantics in NuPRL. It starts with a deep embedding of Isabelle type and term syntax into NuPRL Constructive Type Theory. Next, two internal NuPRL functions are defined. One of them maps Isabelle types into NuPRL types and the other maps Isabelle terms into elements of appropriate NuPRL types. These two functions provide an interpretation of Isabelle in NuPRL. Finally, interpretations of all Isabelle Meta Logic rules are proven as theorems in some classical extension of NuPRL Type Theory. This formalization is aimed to provide a more secure foundation for the interaction between two systems
