Loving Language: Poetry, Curriculum, & Ted T. Aoki
No full textAs a curriculum researcher and poet, I am committed to honouring complexity, asking questions, acknowledging tensions, and challenging answers. As curriculum theorists, scholars, and educators, we need to attend to language. Ted T. Aoki (2005a) reminds us to attend to “the voice of play in the midst of things—a playful singing in the midst of life” (p. 282). Poetry can invigorate our curriculum studies by helping us imagine new ways of attending to language, new ways of knowing and becoming, and new ways of inquiring about living experiences. In this paper, I offer a sequence of poems, anecdotes, and ruminations composed as responses to Ted T. Aoki’s curriculum scholarship.En tant que poète et chercheur penché sur les programmes d’études, je suis engagé à respecter la complexité, à poser des questions, à reconnaitre des tensions et à remettre en question les réponses. Comme théoriciens du curriculum, universitaires et éducateurs, nous devons porter attention à la langue. Ted T. Aoki (2005a) nous rappelle de porter attention à « la voix ludique au milieu des choses – un chant joueur au milieu de la vie » (p. 282). La poésie peut dynamiser nos études de curriculum en nous aidant à imaginer de nouvelles façons de concevoir la langue, de nouvelles façons de savoir et de devenir, et de nouvelles façons d’étudier le vécu. Dans cet article, j’offre une série de poèmes, d’anecdotes et de ruminations composés en guise de réponses aux recherches de Ted T. Aoki sur les programmes d’études.
Tectodamaeus Aoki
No full textSubgenus Tectodamaeus Aoki Tectodamaeus Aoki, 1984: 110 –111; Enami & Aoki, 1988: 33 –36; Xie & Yang 2009: 73 –82. Damaeus (Tectodamaeus), nov. stat. by Wang & Cui, 1994: 63. Type species: Tectodamaeus armatus Aoki, 1984. Distribution. Palaearctic and Oriental Regions. Diagnosis. Large, dark-colored mites with long legs. Propodolateral apophysis (P) always present. Three pairs of tubercles (Da, Ba and Bp) on prodorsum and 4 pairs of tubercles (E 2 a, E 2 p, Va and Vp) on ventral side well developed. Epimeral setation: 3 – 1–3 – 4. Leg IV always longer than total body length. Genu IV bearing only 2 setae. Setae d of genu present on legs I–III. Solenidion of tibia has no protecting seta d on legs I–IV. Remarks. Damaeus (Tectodamaeus) and Damaeus (Damaeus) are both large mites with leg IV always longer than their body length, and no protecting seta on the tibia of each leg. Initially, we considered the distinct difference of two setae on genu IV remarkable, and suggestive of genus level-status for Tectodamaeus, but reductions also occur within Damaeus on other genua (I–III). Therefore, we follow Wang and Cui (1984) by regarding Tectodamaeus as a subgenus of Damaeus. Consequently, we transfer two species, Tectodamaeus daliensis Xie & Yang, 2009 and Tectodamaeus longus Xie & Yang, 2009 to Damaeus, i.e., Damaeus daliensis comb. nov. and Damaeus longus comb. nov. Prior to this work, nine valid species belonged to the subgenus Tectodamaeus: D. (T.) armatus, D. (T.) exspinosus, D. (T.) wulongensis, D. (T.) spiniger, D. (T.) brevisetus, D. (T.) yaoi, D. (T.) exsertus, D. (T.) furcatus, D. (T.) cuii.

Why the critical temperature of high-<i>T<sub>c</sub></i> cuprate superconductors is so low: The importance of the dynamical vertex structure
No full textTo fathom the mechanism of high-temperature (T-c) superconductivity, the dynamical vertex approximation is evoked for the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model. After showing that our results reproduce well the cuprate phase diagram with a reasonable T-c and dome structure, we keep track of the scattering processes that primarily affect T-c. We find that local particle particle diagrams significantly screen the bare interaction at low frequencies, which in turn suppresses antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations and hence the pairing interaction. Thus we identify dynamical vertex corrections as one of the main oppressors of T-c which may provide a hint toward higher T-c's
Curriculum in a New Key: The Collected Works of Ted T. Aoki
No full textTed T. Aoki, the most prominent curriculum scholar of his generation in Canada, has influenced numerous scholars around the world. Curriculum in a New Key brings together his work, over a 30-year span, gathered here under the themes of reconceptualizing curriculum; language, culture, and curriculum; and narrative. Aoki\u27s oeuvre is utterly unique--a complex interdisciplinary configuration of phenomenology, post-structuralism, and multiculturalism that is both theoretically and pedagogically sophisticated and speaks directly to teachers, practicing and prospective.Curriculum in a New Key: The Collected Works of Ted T. Aoki is an invaluable resource for graduate students, professors, and researchers in curriculum studies, and for students, faculty, and scholars of education generally.https://repository.lsu.edu/facultybooks/1578/thumbnail.jp

Toward a Phenomenology of Curriculum: The Work of Max Van Manen and T. Tetsuo Aoki.
No full textIn this study an attempt was made at understanding contemporary thought and application of phenomenological research to the field of curriculum and instruction. More specifically, it sought to identify a place and need for a methodology in curriculum research that exposes and clarifies the dynamics of pedagogy as a result of investigating the existential/ontological nature of pedagogical activity. In accomplishing this, the works of two major North American phenomenological curriculum theorists, T. Tetsuo Aoki and Max van Manen were examined. The work of these two significant contemporary curriculum theorists was used due to the international recognition their seminal phenomenologically oriented research activities in curriculum has received. The work of van Manen and Aoki was not only examined for its theoretical foundations and principal themes, but was also used as the guide to a modest phenomenological investigation by the author into the interpretation given to the phenomenon of experiencing knowledge by thirty-three Developmental Reading students from Louisiana State University. This examination of the study was prefaced by a review of three theoretical emphases from which the research of reading has been approached. This examination of the field of reading included a positing by the author of the necessity and benefits a phenomenological perspective of reading can offer to its curriculum development and instruction. Based on this discussion and the work of van Manen and Aoki, the phenomenological analysis of these students\u27 written responses to the reading of the novel Flowers For Algernon provided the researcher with the basis for several recommendations to curriculum development and instructional approaches in teaching reading to developmental education students. The conclusion of this study found that phenomenology, as part of an eclectic research methodology, can uniquely contribute to curriculum research and allows for the creation of a more lifeworld sensitive pedagogical praxis
