W.M. Rupert letter, October 7, 1914
No full textW.M. Rupert wrote this letter on October 7, 1914, in response to a letter he received. He explained that although he was an ordained minister, he had been working as a salesman for six years. However, he said he would gladly speak on behalf of temperance and the women's suffrage movement. He believed that he would be able to deliver a better speech and draw a larger crowd on account of the fact that he was a working man. He said he would be pleased to speak in any type of settlement in Ohio, and he would pay his own expenses if the organization (the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association) would provide the rooms and announce his speaking engagements. He requested rooms along car lines in order to be able to show the people what women have done.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

Evaluating Teachers' Quality Improvement Policy in Indonesia: To meet the UNESCO-EFA criteria
No full textIndonesia as one of the state members of UNESCO committed to achieve main goal of Education for All (EFA) UNESCO which is to improve education quality in the world. The education quality is inseparable from the teacher quality. Therefore the UNESCO and Indonesia put high concern to improve the teacher quality. Since Indonesian Government put high effort to achieve the UNESCO goal, the policies need to be evaluated in order to analyze whether those policies have met the criteria of EFA-UNESCO or not. A policy recommendation is presented if the policies are not effective to improve the teacher quality in Indonesia. Three research questions are answered in this research: (1) To what extent has the Indonesia government met the teacher quality of EFA? (2) What factors influence the criteria that have (not) met the EFA goal? (3) What role can the Ministry of National Education put to support the Indonesian government to achieve the EFA goal in more effective way?. In order to answer the research questions, three major methods were used: desk research, interviews, and policy analysis using causal relation diagram and multi criteria decision making. The desk research includes the literature studies of the related institutions reports such as UNESCO and Ministry of National Education. The interviews are executed via telephone to the related actors. The causal relation diagram is used to analyze the problem by capturing the teacher quality system and to identify what are the influencing factors. The policy analysis methods like system diagram, means end diagram, and actor network analysis is used to analyze what policy means can be proposed to solve the problem. Lastly, the proposed policy robustness is tested using a scenario analysis. Based on six criteria from Task Force on Teacher for EFA (TFTA) UNESCO, Indonesia is considered to fulfill the number of teacher needed, gender balance in teaching profession, and has good policies to improve teacher quality. However Indonesia still has to increase the student survival rate, lower the student repetition rate, and has to train and recruit many teachers. Indonesia is categorized as a country with the moderate level of achievement. When we look deeper to the Indonesia teacher condition and compare the assessment based on TFTE UNESCO criteria and Indonesian Government criteria, we can capture a different conclusion. According to UNESCO criteria, Indonesia fulfilled the teacher number needed but the unbalance teacher distribution leads to shortage number of teachers in many areas, especially the rural areas. The UNESCO also concludes that the gender balance in teaching profession has been achieved but we can see gender disparities since more male teachers are holding undergraduate degree. Moreover although the certification policy to improve the teacher quality is good in its implementation; a problem occurs after a teacher is certified. Many teachers cannot acquire their professional allowances because they cannot fulfill their obligation to teach 24 hours. There are two big problems which hamper the teacher quality improvement: (1) the unbalance teacher distribution between cities and rural areas and (2) the high teacher workload. The unbalance teacher number hampers teachers to fulfill their obligation to teach 24 hours per week. Meanwhile the high teacher workload limits teacher self-study time. The formulation of new teacher distribution management policy at province and national level is recommended to balance the number of teacher in the rural areas and the cities. When the district cannot fulfill their need of teacher, the province government helps to manage the teacher movement from one district to other district within the province; and when the province cannot fulfill the need of teacher, the Ministry facilitates the teacher movement from one province to other province. Meanwhile comprehensive teaching method development is recommended to reduce the teacher workload and to increase their quality. This comprehensive teaching method includes the teacher guidebook, student book, evaluation book and innovative teaching tools.Policy AnalysisMulti Actor SystemsTechnology, Policy and Managemen

No full textProblems and promise of managed recharge in karstified aquifers: the example of Lebanon
No full textManaged aquifer recharge can store surface water as safe and reliable groundwater for later recovery. However, most options are problematic in karstic aquifers due to complex hydrodynamics reducing their effectiveness and hence general applicability. River bank filtration and urban stormwater infiltration systems are among the main managed recharge approaches to cope with this complexity. Experiences in Lebanon demonstrate the viability of these and other options in karstic domains.Accepted Author ManuscriptGeo-engineerin

РЕАЛИЗАЦИЯ ПРИНЦИПОВ ИНТЕРАКТИВНОГО ОБУЧЕНИЯ В.М. РИВЕРС (W.M. RIVERS) В ОБУЧЕНИИ ИНОСТРАННОМУ ЯЗЫКУ КУРСАНТОВ АВИАЦИОННОГО ВУЗА
No full textCivil aviation industry is constantly changing. The changes are associated not only with flight operations and air navigation services, but also with aviation personnel compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) language proficiency standards. Language proficiency requirements were sufficiently increased after the ICAO representatives had revealed a direct link between the aviation accidents and incidents and low proficiency in English of the participants of these events. Increased ICAO language proficiency requirements raised the issue of foreign language competence as an integral component of professional competence of aviation specialists. Thus, the development of foreign language competence, being a high-priority competence of an aviation specialist requires exploring educational technologies that will allow structuring English language training at aviation school and improving the quality of language training of pilots and air traffic controllers. The purpose of the article is to give the rationale for the implementation of W.M. Rivers’ interactive language teaching principles in teaching aviation school cadets a foreign language. The methods used are analysis of the regulatory documents of higher education and the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) legal documents regulating aviation safety and the method of deduction. The methods of interactive teaching, proposed by a professor of Harvard University W.M. Rivers were discussed. The author revealed the compliance of the interactive principles with the principles adopted by Russian pedagogical science. What is more, the uniqueness of the principles was specified. The comparison of teaching principles adopted by European education environment with the principles adopted by Russian scientific pedagogical environment was considered for the first time. The consistent implementation of the principles of interactive language teaching introduced by W.M. Rivers in foreign language teaching will allow the lecturers of higher education institutions to improve the quality of language training at non-language institutions of higher education.Отрасль гражданской авиации постоянно претерпевает изменения, которые связаны не только с выполнением полетов гражданских судов и их аэронавигационным обслуживанием, но и с соответствием персонала языковым стандартам Международной организации гражданской авиации. Вопрос ужесточения языковых требований встал после того, как представители ИКАО выявили прямую связь между авиационными катастрофами и происшествиями и знанием английского языка участниками этих событий. Ужесточение языковых требований затронуло проблему развития иноязычной компетентности как неотъемлемого компонента профессиональной компетентности авиационных специалистов. Таким образом, развитие иноязычной компетентности, являющейся приоритетной для авиационного специалиста, требует поиска образовательной технологии обучения, позволяющей структурировать обучение английскому языку в авиационном вузе и повысить качество языковой подготовки пилотов и диспетчеров. Цель статьи – научно обосновать реализацию принципов интерактивной образовательной технологии В.М. Риверс (W.M. Rivers) в обучении иностранному языку курсантов авиационного вуза. Для достижения поставленной цели был использован анализ нормативных документов в сфере высшего профессионального образования и нормативно-правовые документы Международной организации гражданской авиации (ИКАО), регламентирующие деятельность по обеспечению авиационной безопасности, метод дедукции. Обоснованы методы интерактивного обучения, предложенные профессором Гарвардского университета В.М. Риверс. Выявлена степень их соответствия принципам, принятым в российской педагогической науке, и их уникальность. Впервые проведено сравнение педагогических принципов, принятых в европейской образовательной среде, с принципами, принятыми в русскоязычной научной педагогической среде. Последовательная реализация принципов интерактивного обучения В.М. Риверс в обучении иностранному языку позволит преподавателям образовательных учреждений высшего профессионального образования повысить качество языковой подготовки в неязыковых вуза
