AbstractThis essay examines the first detailed study of gifted African American youth: Lillian Steele Proctor's master's thesis from the late 1920s on Black children in Washington, DC. Unlike formative research on gifted children by educational psychologists, Proctor's investigation emphasized children's experiences at school, home, and community in determining their abilities, opportunities, and accomplishments. Proctor's work also anticipated African American intellectuals’ critiques of racist claims about intelligence and giftedness that would flourish in the 1930s. In focusing on the nation's capital, her investigation drew from a municipality with a high proportion of African American residents that was segregated by law. Proctor pointed directly to systemic racism as both contributing to the relative invisibility of gifted African American youth and in thwarting opportunities to realize their intellectual potential. In an environment of racial subordination and segregation, these gifted children found themselves excluded from cultural resources and educational opportunities.

ABSTRACT Introduction A wide variety of different types of wearable sensors are being developed around the world and introduced into the armed forces for military purposes. Competing states must rapidly develop ready-to-use systems that are robust, functional, valid, and practical. There appears to be potential for optimizing the successful and effective introduction of wearable sensors into the German armed forces (Bundeswehr) for military medical applications. The purpose of this study was to identify specific options for improving and optimizing the introduction of modern technologies such as wearable sensors into the structures of the German armed forces. Materials and Methods Nine stakeholders were identified who could provide a qualified statement on the introduction of wearable sensors, of which six agreed to participate in an expert interview. The six qualitative expert interviews, which were conducted for a master’s thesis at the Bundeswehr University in Hamburg, were selected on the basis of their thematic involvement and readiness for an interview and provided the basis for exploring processes that can possibly optimize the introduction of wearable sensors into modern armed forces such as the Bundeswehr. These interviews were carried out and analyzed using the Lamnek’s method. Results Six expert interviews were analyzed and the most relevant statements were summarized and presented. Thirteen options for optimization were identified and included, for example, interdisciplinary networking, optimization of information flow, and strategic weighting. Conclusions Several potential options have been identified that can optimize the introduction of wearable sensors into the German armed forces to a greater or lesser extent. Bundeswehr experts agree that above all structurally relevant improvements such as “development of data analysis standards,” “legal requirements,” “interdisciplinarity,” “acceleration of development,” and “centralization and structured cooperation” should play an important role in the implementation of wearable sensors.

Learning English

Teaching and learning English is an energizing, purposeful, and vital experience for developing learners’ competence, confidence, and creativity. It is only possible when we let our learners think critically and creatively in our ELT classroom. This article deals with the theoretical concept of critico-creative thinking as a pedagogy reflecting the practical experiences in general and in ELT in particular. It aims to suggest both teachers and learners to adopt the critico-creative pedagogical strategies while teaching and learning English. Journal of NELTA Surkhet Vol.4 2014: 70-75

Universities are undertaking transformation projects that align their work with the Sustainable Development Goals. This paper describes how Ocean I3, an educational innovation project that aims to reduce plastic in the sea, has made an impact on its community over its three editions (2018/19 to 2020/21). Methodologically, it has been approached by the people who make up the technical team and academic coordination as an exploratory study using discrete, non-reactive techniques, mainly from the public domain (websites, blogs, press releases, etc.), and instruments, such as field notes and work material to manage, organize, and train within the project. The analytical procedure has represented a dynamic and systematic process of categorisation. The results highlight the repercussion of the project in terms of capstone projects, master’s thesis, coursework, etc., produced by the students involved; association with employability; collaborative work from the teaching teams; monitoring experience for research purposes, and social dissemination of the project. It concludes by suggesting lines for Ocean I3 to work on in the future to make its footprint sustainable in institutions over time.

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado concluída. Pretendemos analisar como a organização curricular influencia a produção de significados que professoras de matemática do ensino médio atribuem a uma proposta desenvolvida à luz da Educação Matemática Crítica (EMC), ao se engajarem no desenvolvimento, aplicação e avaliação de uma Trajetória Hipotética de Aprendizagem (THA) de medidas estatísticas. Trata-se de um estudo de cunho estritamente qualitativo. A partir do material empírico, inferimos que as professoras atribuíram alguns significados para a proposta desenvolvida: uma atividade estranha, que incomoda, que gera angústia, que estressa e que necessita de vários conhecimentos para ser realizada. A demanda da organização curricular, assim como a formação docente, é tomada como importante fator na atribuição destes significados.This article presents some of the results from one master's thesis. We intend to analyze how the curricular organization influences production of meanings that high school math teachers attribute in a proposal based in the critical mathematics education (CME). Teachers engaged in the development, implementation and evaluation of a hypothetical trajectory learning (HTL) of statistical measures. This is a strictly qualitative nature study. From the empirical material, we infer that the teachers gave some meanings to the developed proposal: a strange activity, that bothers, that generates anxiety, which stresses, that needs a lot of knowledge to be accomplished. The demand of the curricular organization, as well as teacher training, is taken as important factor in the attribution of these meanings.
