Computational thinking: the developing definition
No full textSince Jeanette Wing’s use of the term computational thinking in 2006, various discussions have arisen seeking a robust definition of the phrase. With no consensus having been found in the intervening years, there are even suggestions that a definition is not important. Perhaps focus should be on how computational thinking is taught and how its acquisition might be observed. However, in order to facilitate consistent curriculum design and appropriate assessment, it is argued that a definition should still be sought. In order to contribute to the discussions surrounding a definition of computational thinking, this review of literature spans the years since 2006. The most frequently occurring terms, descriptions, and meanings are identified. Consideration is given to the motivation for inclusion or exclusion of a term by each individual author. Where possible, if a description has been given, an associated term is supplied.Criteria are developed for the objectives of a computational thinking definition, in accordance with the needs identified in the literature. Using the criteria as a guide and the collected terms as the vocabulary, a definition of computational thinking is proposed. <br/

David Mayer Selby
No full textDavid Mayer Selby was born on 13 March 1906 at Melbourne, Victoria, the son of Herbert Basil Selby and his wife Aimee Henriette nee de Beer. The family moved to Sydney when David was a child. He was educated at Sydney Church of England Grammar School and at the University of Sydney (BA 1927, LLB 1931, Hon D 1991). He was Business Secretary of the Sydney University Arts Society in 1926. (1)<br /><br />Selby was admitted to the New South Wales Bar on 30 September 1931. He practiced in many jurisdictions, particularly in divorce. He was a member of the Council of the New South Wales Bar from 1948/49 to 1957/58. He was made a Queen's Counsel in 1960. (2)<br /><br />Whilst an undergraduate, Selby joined the University of Sydney Scouts Infantry, which was the university's AMF regiment, and later transferred to the 1st Medium Artillery Battery. In August 1941 he was sent to command 'L' Anti-Aircraft Battery at Rabaul, New Britain. On 4 January 1942 it was the first militia unit to fire on the Japanese and the first Australian troops to fire at the enemy on Australian territory. After the fall of Rabaul on 23 January 1942, Selby survived with his men and two other officers in the jungle for three months until they reached the safety of a plantation at Drina. Six weeks later they arrived in Port Moresby by ship and eventually reached Townsville. He enlisted in the AIF on 3 November 1942. From 1943 to 1945 he was a legal officer with the Australian New Guinea Administrative Unit (ANGAU) reaching the acting rank of Major. At the time of his discharge on 6 December 1945 he was described as a Captain at the Anti Aircraft Battery at Rabaul. After the war he served as Chief Legal Officer, Eastern Command, retiring from the Civilian Military Forces with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He was awarded the Efficiency Decoration. (3)<br /><br />Selby had a long connection with the University of Sydney. He was Challis Lecturer in Divorce and Domestic Relations at the Faculty of Law from 1954 to 1962. He was a Fellow of the Senate of the University of Sydney from November 1964 to 1989. He was Deputy Chancellor from 1971 to 1986. He was a Member of the Council of the Sydney University International House from 1988 and an Honorary Fellow of International House in 1989. He was past president of the University Arts Association by 1962. He was president of the Sydney University Law Graduates Association from 1971 to 1972. The University made him an Honorary Doctor of the University on 4 May 1991. (4)<br /><br />In July 1961 Selby was appointed an Acting Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea for a period of six months. He was made a Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales on 29 June 1962. On 10 April 1964 he was appointed Judge in Divorce and on 20 April 1973 Chief Judge of the Family Law Division. Also on 20 April 1973 he was made an Additional Judge of Appeal. He retired on 13 March 1976. Following his retirement from the Supreme Court, Selby was a member of the Parliamentary Remuneration Tribunal NSW from 1977 to 1980. (5)<br /><br />Selby sought reform and simplification of the Commonwealth's Matrimonial Causes Act, 1959, which outlined fourteen causes for divorce. He wanted the legislation to include equal rights for both parents, protection of the rights of the children, and legal aid for some cases. His work in the area of family law led to the Commonwealth's Family Law Act, 1975 which introduced a single ground for divorce, that is irretrievable breakdown of marriage. (6)<br /><br />Selby was active in the community. He was chairman of the Handcrafts Committee of the Australian Red Cross from 1971 to 1990. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by the Australian Red Cross in 1981 and made an Honorary Life Member in 1990. He was Life Vice-president of the Marriage Guidance Council of NSW by 1962. He was president of the Medico-Legal Association of NSW from 1976 to 1978. He was also a member of the Medical Ethics Review Committee from 1981 to 1990. On 26 January 1988 he was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his services to learning, to legal education and to the community. (7)<br /><br />Selby published two partial autobiographies. 'Hell and High Water' (1956) detailed his experiences during the war on New Britain. 'Itambu' (1963) described his experiences as a judge in Papua-New Guinea in the 1960s. He was also the author of 'Supplement to Mackenzie's Practice in Divorce, fifth edition: with amendments to date, notes and forms and including the text of the Commonwealth Matrimonial Causes Act 1945 and rules (N.S.W.) thereunder and the legislation of the States and Territories relating to grounds for divorce' (Sydney, 1946) and he contributed a chapter entitled 'The anaesthetist and Australian Law' to Geoffrey Kaye's 'Anaesthetic Methods' (Melb., 1946). (8)<br /><br />David Mayer Selby died at Bowral, NSW, on 16 September 2002, survived by his wife Barbara nee Phillips whom he married on 29 March 1939, and one son and two daughters.

Principle and Pragmatism in the Liberation Struggle: A Political Biography of Selby Msimang
No full textThis book zeroes into the life of Selby Msimang a politician and activist of the early 20th century South Africa. Msimang’s life is thrust against the social and political backdrop of South Africa beginning in the middle 19th century in colonial Natal. The historical context of conquest and colonialism is an important setting for this life story. It is this background of black oppression and struggles that Msimang navigates as he dedicates his life to the fight against black oppression and his own personal tribulations as a man and political activist. Whilst the author does not overtly express the linkages between the protagonist’s life at micro level of social interaction and the macro level historical institutions that structure and shape Msimang’s journey, the connectedness is quite glaring
Patterns of conflict for school administrators, 1985
No full textAn attempt was made to determine if principals in high, middle, and elementary schools have different or the same opinions regarding the order of conflicts and the causes and methods of resolution. A selected sample of high, middle and elementary schools were asked open-ended questions as follows: (1) Name three conflicts that occurred in your school, give the order of the conflict and state the causes of each conflict. (2) How do you deal with each conflict and what is the method of resolution? (3) What is the degree of success? (4) If you had to solve the problems over again, how would you solve them? (5) What proportion of time do you spend resolving conflict? The results indicated the major conflicts were non- complicance with rules and discipline in all schools. The causes of the problems were unclear rules while the conflicts in elementary and middle schools were linked to teacher-student interactions. Principals attempted to resolve conflicts by creating more rules. The middle school had the greatest success rate of resolving problems, followed by the elementary and high schools. Of the thirty conflicts resolved, principals indicated that they would resolve nineteen in the same way, again. This, despite the fact that there were eleven conflicts which received less than 70 percent success rate. Overall, the majority of the principals made the decisions and attempted to sell the decision to staff members. Teachers were not allowed the autonomy to make and implement decisions. Principals did not generate alternative solutions to problem solving. It is recommended that a larger sample be investi-gated and the biodata of teachers and principals be included as variables. In addition, principals who generate alternatives to solutions should be investigated to determine the impact on teacher satisfaction
