Acumen: An interactive multimedia simulation based on situated learning theory
No full textThis paper describes the development and evaluation of a multimedia simulation for teaching research skills to business students. Graphics, sound and video are used to create semi- realistic ' microworlds' which students explore in order to solve a relatively unstructured problem, a process quite different to learning from textbooks, lectures or videos. One advantage of microworlds is that students construct meaning by actively and selectively working through a variety of information sources, a process which mimics real-world learning and enhances higher- order learning outcomes. We describe the theoretical principles used in designing the simulation, particularly situated learning theory which claims a number of advantages for teaching that is 'situated' in the context of real world problems. There is also evidence that the 'immersive' quality of microworlds may be more motivating than other teaching/ learning modes, at least to some students. As the technology for creating media- rich simulations is still new, we discuss the issue of how realistic simulations should be. Our multimedia package can be related to a long tradition of teaching methods in business that attempt to put theoretical principles into life-like contexts, via case studies, experiential learning, internships, or real-world projects. The advantages and disadvantages of computer microworlds over such methods are explored
Nota betreffende onderzoek naar de veranderingen van de hogere- en hoogste standen voor het gebied van de Beneden-rivieren in den loop der jaren
No full textBij de berekening van de te verwachten hoogste standen in het gebied van de benedenrivieren in verband met de verschillende plannen voor afsluitingen en indijkingen, doet zich de vraag voor in hoeverre vroegere waterstaatswerken in dit gebied de hoge vloedstanden hebben beinvloed. In het algemeen blijken de tot stand gekomen waterstaatswerken geen belangrijke wijzigingen tot gevolg te hebben gehad. Men zou den indruk kunnen krijgen, dat de standen na een eventueele wijziging de neiging vertonen hun oude hoogte weer te bereiken. Een en ander zal nader kunnen worden bestudeerd aan de hand van de lijst van uitgevoerde werken, welke blijkens de Notulen der Vergadering van 13 December 1943 door den Secretaris zou worden opgemaakt

Snapshots to re-imagine teacher quality in southern Chile
No full textConsidering the important role of teachers in improving learning outcomes, teacher evaluation is considered a priority for educational policy makers. This dissertation addresses three issues related with teacher quality and teacher evaluation in Chile. The first paper examines the political-educational discourse that underpinned the design of the National Teacher Evaluation System (NTES) and the conditions that could potentially favor the implementation of a new system. The second paper explores the levels of alignment and misalignment between teachers’ understanding of quality and the criteria of teacher quality defined in the Framework for Good Teaching (FGT) and evaluated through NTES. The third paper is a methodological reflection on the process of contextualizing qualitative research on teachers and teaching. Together, these papers support rethinking the conceptual and methodological framework of the current teacher evaluation system currently used in ChileSubmission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2017-12-01The student, Maria Carolina Hidalgo Standen, accepted the attached license on 2015-11-24 at 08:28.The student, Maria Carolina Hidalgo Standen, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2015-11-24 at 09:00.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2015-11-25 at 10:16.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #8835 on 2016-03-02 at 14:06:34Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-02T20:23:45Z (GMT).

Pneumatische bekrachtiging van een twee-standen mechanisme
No full textBij de pneumatische bekrachtiging van pro/ortesen is een laag energieverbruik belangrijk. In dit rapport wordt aangetoond dat theoretisch een belangrijke energiewinst te verkrijgen is door het gas in de motor te laten expanderen. De ontwikkeling van het pneumatische logika-circuit dat nodig is voor een dergelijke expansie wordt besproken. De energiewinst die door expansie verkregen kan worden werd experimenteel geverifieerd.Biomechanical EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin

Re-thinking the victim: representations of gender violence in the narratives of Dacia Maraini
No full textThis thesis explores representations of gender violence in the works of Dacia Maraini, tracing a pathway from early novels in which her protagonists suffer predominantly non-physical oppression, to later works which foreground victims of more extreme bodily violence. Taking a chronological approach, it contextualises her work and situates individual texts in their broader cultural framework, highlighting the changes and continuities that these differing backgrounds have provoked. Maraini’s unique position as both author and social commentator is similarly established, with the interplay of her narrative and feminist commitment emerging as a central concern. Fundamental to the thesis is the figure of the female victim, through whom motifs that are recurrent in Maraini’s oeuvre are identified and analysed.
The thesis proposes two main lines of argument. Firstly, that there is a change in the way in which Maraini represents gender violence: from signifying one manifestation of women’s overall oppression under patriarchy, it becomes the dominant theme in a number of texts, presented as a specific phenomenon to be understood and exposed. Secondly, that whilst in many of her early texts her protagonists develop strategies for resisting their abusive situations, Maraini’s later female victims demonstrate little agency and, moreover, appear to submit to the violence they undergo

Wellington 2013 – «Solo le storie sono capaci di colmare gli squarci del dolore. Solo le storie ci aiutano a sopravvivere»: Autobiographic Traces in the Narratives of Dacia Maraini
No full textThe publication of Dacia Maraini’s "Bagheria" in 1993 and "La nave per Kobe" in 2001 indicate a significant foray into life writing by the author, and the beginning of a more concerted move towards self-representation, which continues in texts such as "La grande festa" (2011) and "Chiara di Assisi – Elogio della disobbedienza" (2013). It is, however, a genre that Maraini had previously admitted to being challenging for her to confront. This article considers a number of ‘autobiographic traces’ in Maraini’s earlier works as examples of fictionalized articulations of traumatic events and, likewise, how Maraini’s perceived difficulty with the genre manifests itself in "La nave per Kobe" through a certain level of textual turbulence. It explores the trouble that Maraini has in constructing the autobiographic ‘I’ before arguing that the inclusion of her mother’s diaries in this particular work gives Maraini the confidence needed to do so.The publication of Dacia Maraini’s "Bagheria" in 1993 and "La nave per Kobe" in 2001 indicate a significant foray into life writing by the author, and the beginning of a more concerted move towards self-representation, which continues in texts such as "La grande festa" (2011) and "Chiara di Assisi – Elogio della disobbedienza" (2013).

Si tratta comunque di un genere con cui per Maraini è arduo confrontarsi, come ha già ammesso in passato. Questo saggio considera alcune ‘tracce autobiografiche’ presenti nelle sue prime opere, considerandole esempi di come l’autrice articoli in forma romanzata degli eventi traumatici. Ipotizza poi che la difficoltà di Maraini verso questo genere letterario si manifesti tramite un certo grado di disordine narrativo in “La nave per Kobe”, ed esamina la difficoltà che Maraini incontra nel costruire l’‘io’ autobiografico, sostenendo che è l’inclusione dei diari della madre in quest’ultimo libro a darle la fiducia in sé stessa necessaria a farlo
