Intrinsic Feedback

The paper proposes a new interdisciplinary approach to helping low attaining learners in basic mathematics. It reports on the research-informed design and user testing of an adaptive digital game based on constructionist tasks with intrinsic feedback. The approach uses findings from the neuroscience of dyscalculia, cognitive science research on conceptual understanding in mathematics, and mathematical education research to inform the detailed pedagogic design. It is interdisciplinary in the sense that it synthesises the results from multiple disciplines in the design principles. It then exploits the new capabilities of digital technologies to develop the design for testing with learners, and capturing appropriate data. The initial pilot has shown that the game supports learners age 5-7 years for independent learning of the kind that low attaining learners will need in order to keep pace with mainstream learners. The experimental work will evaluate this and similar games for learners of all ages who have low numeracy. In general, the approach is to (i) focus on a problem at the intersection of robust evidence in both education and neursocience; and (ii) use this data to design and test a digital intervention that fully exploits the adaptive and interactive features of learning technology.

The subject of this research is the institutional transformations of educational space associated with the global processes of digitalization of social relations, as well as internal factors in cooperation between society and the state with regards to determination of the criteria of security for their development. Using the general methodology of institutional analysis, methods of analogy and summary, as well as interdisciplinary approach towards studying the educational space, the author considers the questions of implementation of digital education technologies under the conditions of current sociocultural transformations. Special attention is turned to the balance between rational and immaterial factors that affect the formation of modern educational space, and thereby, specification of the new institutional challenges to the security of social development. The conducted analysis of the problems of implementation of such technologies in the system of higher education leads to the conclusion on the need for assessing the effectiveness of implementation of digital technologies in accordance with the institutional criteria that imply not only the impact of both, rational and immaterial factors of social development. The institutional nature of these factors is insufficiently studied, however determines the possibility of application of cognitive models in solution of the tasks aimed at ensuring national security in the conditions of digitalization of sociocultural processes. Therefore, the crucial institutional criterion that defines the effectiveness of implementation of digital technologies in the educational space consists in its security in all regards. The proposed institutional-criteria approach allows the state and society to focus on ensuring security of the educational space in the context of solution of relevant tasks of ensuring national security of the Russian Federation.

Robust Evidence

There is increasing emphasis on providing patient-focused health care and ensuring patient involvement in the design of health services. As health technology assessment (HTA) is meant to be a multidisciplinary, wide-ranging policy analysis that informs decision making, it would be expected that patients’ views should be incorporated into the assessment. However, HTA is still driven by collection of quantitative evidence to determine the clinical and cost effectiveness of a health technology. Patients’ perspectives about their illness and the technology are rarely included, perhaps because they are seen as anecdotal, biased views. There are two distinct but complementary ways in which HTAs can be strengthened by: (i) gathering robust evidence about the patients’ perspectives, and (ii) ensuring effective engagement of patients in the HTA process from scoping, through evidence gathering, assessment of value, development of recommendations and dissemination of findings. Robust evidence eliciting patients’ perspectives can be obtained through social science research that is well conducted, critically appraised and carefully reported, either through meta-synthesis of existing studies or new primary research. Engagement with patients can occur at several levels and we propose that HTA should seek to support effective patient participation to create a fair deliberative process. This should allow two-way flow of information, so that the views of patients are obtained in a supportive way and fed into decision-making processes in a transparent manner.

A água, enquanto elemento e bem natural, possui papel relevante como agente do espaço geográfico. Neste sentido, considerando os objetivos da Geografia na educação escolar, julga-se que a compreensão e análise de questões socioambientais que envolvem a água são fundamentais para construção do raciocínio geográfico. Perante esse contexto, este artigo versa sobre o estudo das águas na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), diante o campo de investigação da ciência geográfica, tendo por objetivo analisar a abordagem dada ao tema da água na BNCC em Geografia – anos finais do Ensino Fundamental e Ensino Médio – e as possíveis repercussões à formação inicial de professores de Geografia no Brasil. Por meio de revisão de literatura e análise documental verificou-se o enfoque interdisciplinar da BNCC a partir dos objetos do conhecimento, direcionando de forma efêmera a perspectiva hidrogeográfica no componente escolar de Geografia. Diante dessa premissa, entende-se que os cursos de licenciatura em Geografia precisam adaptar de forma inter e transdisciplinar, os conteúdos relativos ao estudo das águas, a fim de potencializar a compreensão geográfica do profissional em formação para aplicação na educação básica. PALAVRAS-CHAVE Educação geográfica, Hidrografia, Formação docente, Interdisciplinar.   THE STUDY OF WATERS IN THE TRAINING OF GEOGRAPHY TEACHERS BEFORE THE COMMON NATIONAL CURRICULAR BASE IN BRAZIL ABSTRACT Water as an element and a natural resource has a relevant role as an agent of geographic space. Thus, considering the objectives of Geography in school education, it is believed that the understanding and analysis of socio-environmental issues that involve water are fundamental for the construction of geographic reasoning. Before this context, this paper deals with the study of water in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), in the field of geographic science research, aiming to analyze the approach given to the theme of water in BNCC in Geography - final years of Teaching Elementary and High School - and the possible repercussions for the formation of Geography teachers in Brazil. Through literature review and documentary analysis, the interdisciplinary approach of BNCC was verified from the objects of knowledge, directing the hydrogeographic perspective in the school discipline of Geography in an ephemeral way. From this premise, it is understood that undergraduate courses in Geography need to adapt in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary way, the contents related to the study of waters, in order to enhance the geographical understanding of the professional in training for application in basic education.
