Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces
No full textThe term participatory research is now widely used as a way of categorising research that has moved beyond researching "on" to researching "with" participants. This paper draws attention to some confusions that lie behind such categorisation and the potential impact of those confusions on qualitative participatory research in practice. It illuminates some of the negative effects of "fitting in" to spaces devised by other types of research and highlights the importance of forging spaces for presenting participatory research designs that suit a discursive approach and that allow the quality and impact of such research to be recognised. The main contention is that the adoption of a variety of approaches and purposes is part of the strength of participatory research but that to date the paradigm has not been sufficiently articulated. Clarifying the unifying features of the participatory paradigm and shaping appropriate ways for critique could support the embedding of participatory research into research environments, funding schemes and administration in a way that better reflects the nature and purpose of authentic involvement
Reading with the Author's Sex: Α Comparison of Two Seventeenth-Century Texts
No full textΗ διαφορά μεταξύ γυναικείας και ανδρικής γραφής είναι τελικά διαφορά στην ανάγνωση του ανδρικού και του γυναικείου κειμένου. Εφόσον ιστορικά οι γυναίκες και οι άνδρες δεν καταλαμβάνουν ίση θέση ως κοινωνικά υποκείμενα, η συγγραφική τους θέση είναι εξίσου άνιση και τα κείμενά τους δεν μπορούν να αναγνωστούν με τον ίδιο τρόπο. Ίδια "σημαίνοντα" αντιστοιχούν σε διαφορετικά "σημαινόμενα". Επομένως το φύλο του/της συγγραφέα θα πρέπει να αποτελεί σημείο αναφοράς στην κατασκευή εννοιών από τον αναγνώστη—αντίθετα με την άποψη των μεταδομιστών ότι ο/η ομιλών/ούσα είναι θέμα αδιάφορο. Η σύγκριση μεταξύ των έργων της Elizabeth Cary, The Tragedie of Mariam, και του Philip Massinger, The Duke of Milan, δείχνει ότι οι ελευθερίες τις οποίες παίρνει ο άνδρας συγγραφέας σε θέματα γλώσσας, κατασκευής χαρακτήρων και δραματικής μορφής βρίσκονται εκτός της κλίμακας επιλογών για την γυναίκα συγγραφέα, η οποία γράφει σε μια κουλτούρα που θεωρεί την συγγραφικότητα αποκλειστικά ανδρικό προνόμιο, αποσιωπά την γυναίκα, και συσχετίζει την δική της πνευματική φωνή στο δημόσιο χώρο με τη σεξουαλική διαφθορά.The difference in the writing of men and women is actually a difference in reading their texts. Since men and women have occupied greatly unequal subject positions in history, their texts cannot be read the same way. The same “signifiers” correspond to different “signifieds” in the male and the female text. Thus the sex of the author-or the gender of the speaking voice-should be a point of reference in constructing meaning, contrary to the post-structuralist view that the author-function is a matter of indifference. The comparison between Elizabeth Cary's The Tragedie of Mariam and Philip Massinger’s The Duke of Milan illustrates that liberties taken by the male author in language, characterization and dramatic form are outside the range of options for the female author, who is writing in a culture that considered authorship an exclusively male prerogatiνe, confined woman to silence and linked her voicing of ideas in public to sexual promiscuity
Review of Tina Krontiris, \u3ci\u3eOppositional Voices: Womtlen as Writers and Tanslators of Literature in the English Renaissance,\u3c/i\u3e and Isobel Grundy and Susan Wiseman, editors, \u3ci\u3eWomen, Writing, History: 1640-1740\u3c/i\u3e
No full textThese two books on women writing in early modern England are very different and both make an important contribution to a growing body of critical studies. Krontiris\u27s study centers on six fairly well-known writers: Isabella Whitney, Margaret Tyler, Mary Herbert, Elizabeth Cary, Aemilia Lanyer, and Mary Wroth. The purpose of her study is to explain how the same culture that produced a prohibitive ideology for women about what were their capabilities could also produce at least some women who wrote, published, and sometimes voiced criticism of this system. Krontiris did not intend to be exhaustive; rather, she was interested in those who raised an oppositional voice, and chose the above six writers for close study. Krontiris argues that for women writers of the time the language with which they wrote was the language of men and had within it a misogynist bias. Using such language often made escaping stereotypes and establishing new meanings all the more difficult. Krontiris points out that a woman writer in a patriarchal culture must develop strategies against her own internalization of the oppressive ideologies that surround her. One of the key points to Kronitiris\u27s thesis is that a woman\u27s writing must be read differently. Krontiris makes the important distinction of what was theoretical and what were the lives women actually lived. What was presented as cultural norms were not always practiced, and ideologies were changing and contested, especially with competing social groups who held divergent interests. Krontiris frames her study with a discussion of cultural attitudes toward women in the Middle Ages and how the impact of the Reformation changed these attitudes in the early modern period. The collection edited by Grundy and Wisemnan is a very different book from that of Krontiris, containing essays that express a variety of methodologies. The editors identify all the contributors as feminist scholars and critics (p. 10), but beyond that the contributors do not share a single critical perspective. The title reflects the divisions within the book and the central ideas its contributors hope to explore. The editors\u27 purpose for the collection is to map the interrelationships of writing, gender, and historical circumstances through the contradictions found in the writings of early modern women. The book concentrates on the period 1640-1740, after print had become the dominant mode of literary production. Many of the issues raised by Krontiris are further explored in this collection. Some readers will find too much jargon and cumbersome writing in Krontiris\u27s work, and even more in some of the essays in the Grundy and Wiseman collection. But if readers persevere, they will find both books iimnensely valuable in understanding the connections between cultural constraints and women seeking voices in early modern England

Who says it's still a man's world?: questioning the myth of male privilege in America
No full textWomen in our American society today claim they must continue their fight for equality. Statistics are often cited regarding the wage gap and violent acts against women as proof that women are denied the same rights and protection as males. This paper argues that in many situations men are often denied the same rights and privileges that women have today. This discussion concentrates mainly on family law proceedings as well as criminal court cases and investigations in which men are not given equal consideration. Primacy for women’s issues had its time and place, but now it appears as though the pendulum has swung too far and as a result our society is losing empathy for men.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Tina D.

[[alternative]]An Experimental Research on Digital Circuit Skill Instruction Using TINA and EWB Computer Assisted Courseware
No full text[[abstract]]The purpose of this study was to investigate the instruction achievement of computer assisted instruction(CAI) on digital circuit skill instruction, with TINA, EWB and a self-developed multimedia system as skill instruction courseware.
The nonequivalent pretest-posttest design is used to test the effectiveness of two new CAI methods. Electronic Workbench (EWB) is a simulation training system, and Toolkit for Interactive Network Analysis (TINA) is a training system with additional test cards. Both of EWB and TINA systems were developed for digital circuit training. Thirty six students were selected from Taipei Municipal Sung-Shan Vocational Industrial-Agricultural School as experimental objects. They were divided into two groups. The experimental group used TINA system and the comparison group used EWB system for studying digital circuit skill. The achievement of knowledge and skill in both two groups were evaluated through the posttest. The retention test was given to the students three times week after week to check their learning condition.
The results of this research was summaried as the followings;
1.In knowledge studying, there is no significant difference between experimental group and comparison group；but in skill learning，there is significance between these two groups. The achievement of experimental group is higher than the comparison group. Therefore the effectiveness of EWB is no less than that of TINA in knowledge instruction, and the effectiveness of TINA is higher than that of EWB in skill learning.
2. The satisfaction of experimental group is higher than comparison group in courseware and environment design. The students preferred to study skill with both hands and brain.
3. In the retention of knowledge and skill abilities, there is no significant difference between experimental group and comparison group. But the average score of experimental group is higher than that of comparison group. Therefore the retention of learning system with both hands and brain is better than that of a pure simulation learning system on digital circuit skill instruction.
Keywords: computer assisted instruction(CAI), TINA, EWB, digital circuit learning, retention.
