The Future

This paper describes a qualitative survey of professional statisticians carried out in New Zealand in 2014. The aim of the study was to find out if the issues this group faced were consistent with those identified in the literature. The issues identified were integrity, legitimacy, isolation, workforce shortage, communication, and marginalisation. They represent points of frustration for statisticians that may impact on the future of the profession as it responds to increasing demands and higher expectations. We found that these issues resonated for many of the statisticians included in our study and we have discussed a number of strategies to address them. They include raising our profile, attracting a broader range of people to the profession, increasing our communication skills, raising the statistical literacy of the people we work with, and a commitment to making it easy to engage with our colleagues.

Oral Communications

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the experiences of tertiary students learning oral presentation skills in a range of online and blended learning contexts across diverse disciplines. Design/methodology/approach – The research was designed as a “federation” of trials of diverse online oral communications assessment tasks (OOCATs). Tasks were set in ten courses offered across all five faculties at University of Newcastle, Australia. The authors collected and analysed data about students’ experiences of tasks they completed through an anonymous online survey. Findings – Students’ engagement with the task was extremely positive but also highly varied. This diversity of student experience can inform teaching, and in doing so, can support student equity. By understanding what students think hinders or facilitates their learning, and which students have these experiences, instructors are able to make adjustments to their teaching which address both real and perceived issues. Student experience in this study highlighted five very clear themes in relation to the student experience of undertaking online oral communications tasks which all benefit from nuanced responses by the instructor: relevance; capacity; technology; time; and support. Practical implications – Using well-designed OOCATs that diverge from more traditional written assessments can help students successfully engage with course content and develop oral communication skills. The student experience can be used to inform teaching by catering for different student learning styles and experience. Student centred approaches such as this allows instructors to reflect upon the assumptions they hold about their students and how they learn. This understanding can help inform adjustments to teaching approaches to support improved student experience of learning oral communications tasks. Originality/value – The importance of learning oral communication skills in tertiary education is widely acknowledged internationally, however, there is limited research on how to teach these skills online in a way that is student centred. This research makes a contribution toward addressing that gap.

Relapse Prevention Model

We studied 28 female arsonists and 28 female controls admitted to Holloway Prison over four months to examine the psychological and situational antecedents to firesetting so that the behaviour could be targeted for treatment. Over 92% of the arson group had received a psychiatric diagnosis. Both groups had similarly high rates of early deprivation and abuse. None of the female arsonists had set a fire for financial gain. There was no evidence of sexual arousal being associated with firesetting; only two women described their firesetting in terms that suggest a level of compulsion - one of these was alcoholic, the other was diagnosed as severely personality disordered. Several behavioural and psychological antecedents to offending were identified which could be targeted for treatment: low self-esteem, depression, limited communication skills, and deficits in anger management. The relapse prevention model is suggested as a possible intervention for recidivistic arsonists.

<p>This study used the descriptive correlation survey research method to establish the relationship between the learning styles and basic communication skills of the Information Technology Education students who were officially enrolled in English 1 during the first semester of the school year 2011-2012 in the University of the Immaculate Conception. The researchers then identified the types of secondary school and elementary schools attended by the respondents. Survey questionnaireswere used to determine the respondent’s profile and the student learning styles scales by Grasha –Reichmann (2008). The statistical tools used were frequency, percentage and Chi-square test. The researcher concluded that an almost similar number of respondents had high school grades equivalent to 85 and above in comparison to those with high school grades below 85. Moreover, majority of the respondents were from private elementary and secondary schools. Most of them registered poor English proficiency and reported collaborating learning styles. Furthermore, the learning styles, high school average grade in English, and the types of elementary and secondary schools attended by the respondents did not significantly affect respondents’ English proficiency. Only teacher factors influenced it. It is therefore crucial for teachers to ensure that their preferred teaching styles could optimize students’ learning.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords.</strong> Learning styles, basic communication skills, descriptive-correlation, University of the Immaculate Conception, Davao City, Philippines.</p>

Consonant Sounds

This study examines the ability of phonological production or the ability to produce language sounds, namely vowels and consonants in Indonesian with Down syndrome, a student of the Banyuwangi An-Moerty Extraordinary Primary School. Phonological sensitivity has an important role in communicating creativity, including for persons with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to describe phonological production capabilities, and to find out the causes of the inability to pronounce language sounds of persons with Down syndrome, Bagus Chandra. This research is a qualitative research. This research data in the form of words spoken by Bagus Candra collected by the method of observation or observation with note-taking techniques and data in the form of information from the people closest to home and school were collected by interview method with note-taking techniques. Language data that have been classified are analyzed by distributional methods or agih methods with basic BUL techniques and advanced techniques: skipping, replacing, inserting, and changing the meanings, while data in the form of information are analyzed by descriptive analytical methods. The results of this study indicate that Bagus Chandra's phonological production ability in producing vowel sounds and consonant sounds is mostly perfect, because all vowel sounds [a], [i], [u], [e], and [o], and consonant sounds which includes sounds [b], [c], [d], [g], [h], [j], [k], [l], [m], [n], [p], [q] , [s], [t], and [y] can be pronounced correctly without obstacles. In this case, only a small part of the consonant sound, namely: sounds [r], [f], [v], [w], [x], and, [z] cannot be pronounced perfectly. Physically, the inability is caused by abnormal growth of the tongue, which is the size of the tongue that is longer and wider, and often extended.

AbstractThis paper aims to contribute to recent research on bilingualism and emotions from a discourse approach, analyzing extracts taken from a spontaneous conversation between two Spanish/Galician female bilinguals. Spanish is the base language of this interaction and the dominant language of the speakers, but the extracts selected correspond to sequences of gossip and complaints about third parties including switches into Galician. The analysis reveals that these Spanish/Galician bilingual uses contribute towards the structure of the conversational activity and to foreground different affective stances. Spanish is employed to signal indignation at the arrogant attitude of the people talked about, while Galician is selected in producing a derogatory discourse on their social status or moral condition which displays contempt for them. While previous research on code-switching and emotions has linked the affective functions with the dominant language(s), this paper highlights the relevance of both the dominant language and the less dominant language in displaying affective stances. It is proposed that the specific emotive role of Galician in the contextualization of contempt could be related to the external symbolism of this language and its traditional lack of prestige.

In a Moment of Reflection Ives asked himself, ‘Are my ears on wrong?’ Like so many composers he had to contend with periods of self-doubt, and during the first two decades of this century, when his mature works were written, he was presented with very few opportunities to hear them played in public. Yet he continued to jot down a muddled host of experimental ideas; his imagination fuelled by personal experience. From childhood in Danbury Connecticut Ives had possessed a phenomenal memory: for the kinds of literature that he read, the people that he met and the music-making that he heard. All these impressions were later collated and presented in his Memos. Dictated in the 1920's and 1930's, they make fascinating reading, both in terms of their vivid accounts of local bandcalls, revivalist singsongs, barn dancing, blacked-up minstrelsy, and ad hoc performance practice together with the composer's opinions about American musical life as he knew it. However, none of this was mere objective note-taking: Ives often expresses himself in the vernacular and doggerel of his boyhood.
