Existence of a wide variety of virtual laboratories leads to dilemmas among practitioners in terms of selection of such programs and their adaptation to the subject matter in the pre-service and in-service teacher training processes. The aim of this study is to inform physics educators, teachers, and pre-service teachers of the virtual labs used in teaching physics nowadays, as well as the scope, design, and features of such software. They are used in teaching physics, particularly from primary education to the university level, are introduced and compared, their superior and weak aspects are highlighted, and target audiences, design characteristics, scopes and details, experiment analyses levels, levels of proximity to reality, and user friendliness are presented considering the data obtained from the literature review carried out based on the content analysis method. Thus, this study is intended to contribute to utilization of virtual physics labs by users with expected efficiency.

This volume brings together thoroughly reworked versions of a selection of papers presented at the conference The Notion of Commitment in Linguistics, held at the University of Antwerp in January 2007. It is the companion volume to a collection of essays in French to be published in Langue Française and devoted to La notion de prise en charge. Commitment is a close counterpart toprise en charge, and two contributors, Celle and Lansari, use it essentially as a translation of the French term. However, commitment and its verbal cognates (to commit NP to and to be committed to) do not cover the exact same range of meanings as prise en charge. For a thorough assessment of the French term, we refer readers to the introduction to the Langue Française volume. In the present article, we focus entirely on commitment. The term is widely used in at least three major areas of linguistic enquiry:1 studies on illocutionary acts, studies on modality and evidentiality, and the formal modelling of dialogue/argumentation. In spite of its frequent use, the notion has rarely been theorised and has never been the subject of a monograph or a specialised reader. In keeping with this is the fact that none of the many dictionaries and encyclopaedias of linguistics or philosophy that we have consulted devotes a separate entry to it. Section 1 of this introduction briefly reviews what commitment means in the three fields just mentioned. Now and then, with respect to a particular issue, pointers are given to which articles in this collection have something to say about the issue. In section 2, we take a lexical and syntactic look at the ways in which the contributors to the present volume use the term. In section 3, we outline each of the contributions, with a focus on the role that commitment plays in them.

Objective: The objective of the project is to actively integrate students partially dispensed from school sport through an adapted form of sports dispensation as well as a customized selection of exercises. Method: By means of two online questionnaires, both structured similarly with respect to questions and main themes, a needs assessment was carried out. The questionnaires were sent by e-mail to 2600 members of three Swiss medical associations, doctors of the University Children’s hospital of Basel as well as to approximately 4000 sports teachers of the Swiss organization for sports at school. The addressees were asked to complete the questionnaire within two weeks. The sample size was n=87 (doctors, return rate of 3%) and n= 213 (sports teachers, return rate of 5%). A catalog of 54 exercises was developed using physiotherapeutic and school sport specific literature. The exercises were picturised and were published together with the dispensation form on a newly designed website. Results: Feedback from online questionnaires showed the necessity for a consistent partial dispensation with precise information on permitted and to be avoided stress. Furthermore it is important to clarify which parts of the body are allowed to be stressed or must not be stressed. Additionally the results made it clear that although the form of dispensation should show all relevant information for sports teachers, the time needed to fill in this form should be minimal. After the pilot phase the interest in the subject among doctors and sports teachers was great. However their cooperation turned out to be the most difficult and challenging part, with regard to integration of the project across the country. Discussion: Sports dispensations are an on-going very important topic in Swiss schools. The respondent group of doctors mostly agree on the layout of such a dispensation form and content needed. The same applies to sports teachers. However the most difficult part when talking about sports dispensations appears to be the collaboration of both groups and the functioning as a unity.

The article refl ects the notion of additional teaching resources on the school subject “Physics” as an implicit characteristic of the subject content of physics. Illustration of the minor nature of learning in the classroom for physics is an example of implicit possibilities of formation of outlook of the pupils in the study of school physics course. On the basis of the key tasks of physics teaching method through the process of building knowledge about the basic methods of physical cognition such as theory and experiment, scientifi c outlook of pupils. With the support of the inclusion of a complex psychological process of the formation of beliefs, attitudes, principles refl ected the fact that in the process of teaching physics in the formation of a scientifi c outlook aff ected by personal subjective attitude to the subject knowledge acquired. Possible ways of implementation of the formation of scientifi c outlook on employment in physics through the use of implicit methods, techniques, forms of learning are shown.

David Hornbrook's articles in NTQ4 and 5 offered a challenging perspective to the history of drama in education, a critique of present practice and practitioners, and some positive proposals for the future place of the subject in the curriculum. These have provoked widespread interest, and we are now publishing a first selection of comments from fellow drama in education workers, and offering a welcome to further contributions in subsequent issues. These initial responses are from David Morton, adviser to the Leeds City Council's Department of Education; Jon Nixon, a research fellow in the Department of Education at the University of Sheffield; and Tony Graham. Head of Drama at Haverstock School, in the Inner London Education Authority's area.

In the selection of acceptance of lecturers at a university can be done when the selected applicants have a good competence in accordance with they’re background because this can affect the teaching service. Lecturers who have good competence has the ability for understanding the subject matter that in line with the background, extensive pieces of knowledge, be able to speak English both oral and written and be able to provide a positive example and teaching methods that are easily understood by students. This can provide a good image for the university because the selected lecturers have a good potential. To help determine the acceptance of lecturers then we needed a decision support system. One method that can be used for Decision Support System is using Simple  Additive Weighting (SAW). This method is chosen because it is able to select the best alternative from a number of alternatives, in this case, the intended alternative is to determine the acceptance of lecturers

The educative innovation presented was developed at the Official University Master of Psychopedagogy at the University of Seville, Spain. An approximation to the Flipped Classroom methodology was carried out. Postgrad students are not normally exposed to this methodology, and therefore, they were not familiarised with it. To implement it, firstly, the class was divided into groups and, from a selection of the curricular contents of the subject; each group was assigned a particular topic. Each group had to prepare a presentation in which three tasks were to be fulfilled: the creation of an explanatory video to be projected during a presentation session with the aim of illustrating the theoretical contents, a reinforcement activity to enhance meaningful learning and an assessment of the presentation made. At the end of the study, the subjects received a questionnaire to analyse their degree of satisfaction according to the methodology. Results showed that the methodology was perceived as satisfactory or very satisfactory by most of the participants.

Aim. The paper presents the result of research how people study in older age. Method. The method of biographical research was used. The research presented was embedded in the strand of qualitative research in an interpretative paradigm, in which cognitive science places emphasis on the subject who is learning. In recruiting subjects for research intentional selection was used, based on the typical cases method. One of the basic criteria for selection of candidates was an intention to undertake educational activity. In effect, 12 people participated in my research – 8 women and 4 men. Results. In the biographies analysed, education proceeds in both non-formal and informal areas, so both these area merge with each other and complement each other. The return line of education in late adulthood is characteristic for those biographies in which learning occurs above all in the area of non-formal education. These seniors usually undertake learning in institutions with an educational character which are aimed at that age group, such as the University of the Third Age, Seniors’ Academy, or various kinds of EU training whose beneficiaries are older people. On the other hand, those whose biographies take the form of continued education in late adulthood realise their goals most effectively in informal education. In this area, the most frequent form of activity is self-education. This is undertaken by those who have a previous knowledge of the subject, but were unable to dedicate themselves to it fully because of their professional work.
