This paper describes the views of student teachers of craft about the future of craft as a school subject. The study was conducted at the University of Turku, Department of Teacher Education, in Rauma in 2014. The literature review revealed that the subject of craft in Finnish basic education is understood as a dialog between the maker and the materials. However, teaching and learning craft in schools and in teacher education has a strong gender-based tradition. The aim of this study is to investigate student teachers’ understanding of craft as a school subject in the future and their solutions to teaching craft in basic education. The data were collected from essays (N = 20) written by student teachers of craft. The essays were analyzed qualitatively using content analysis. The results showed that the student teachers of craft viewed holistic craft, reflective action readiness, entrepreneurial behaviour, multiple skills, the use of versatile materials, and craft as sources of pleasure and the main solutions for the future of craft as a subject.

As NCAA President, Myles Brand championed three major college sports initiatives: academic integrity, diversity, and sustainability. This paper is about the last. The first step is to distill the elements of college sports that Brand identified repeatedly in his documents and speeches on sustainability. The central elements are the NCAA definition of “amateurism”, athletic department finances, and balance between athletic and academic spending as a part of the university mission. An assessment of these three suggests that NCAA amateurism has changed since his death, in ways Brand stated should raise worries about sustainability. Finances and balance within the university have changed very little over the past ten years and appear sustainable into the future.

The problem and purpose of the research lies in the specifics of substantiating the readiness of students-choreographers for rehearsal activities. The assessment of the elaboration of the proposed research topic in the scientific and methodological literature on the art of choreography and dance pedagogy is carried out. The aim is to identify and substantiate the pedagogical conditions for increasing the efficiency of developing the skills of rehearsal activity among studentschoreographers in the process of mastering choreographic disciplines at the university. The definition of “rehearsal activity or rehearsal component of choreographic activity” has been clarified. There are four main directions for the development of pedagogical conditions. A step-by-step algorithm for rehearsal activities has been developed, which formed the basis of the pedagogical conditions for the professional readiness of a student-choreographer.

Mobile devices and apps are placed in a prominent position in the daily routine of all people. The fast evolution of these devices and their main advantages have caused a real impact in the society. Currently, they are essential tools to be totally connected anywhere and to consult and access information of any field. The use of these devices has been increasing since the last decade. The emergence of new and sophisticated devices and new services has contributed to this sparkling uptrend. One of the fields that society is using these mobile technologies is in learning. The aim of this chapter is to describe the current situation of these technologies and to make an approach of the future tendencies of these tools. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to conduct a survey and involve different undergraduate students of the university and different professionals. Results reveal that students are using more and more apps and mobile devices but there is an important gap between students and professionals so it is still necessary to boost their relevance to improve their potential use.

We can sketch a number of scenarios for the future of education. All these scenarios involve heavier use of the computer than at present. A number of important or auxiliary devices, such as the videodisc, will also play a role. The trends in modern technology suggest that stand-alone systems, perhaps incorporating the videodisc, will represent the major systems of the future. These systems will be widely available in homes, libraries, and educational institutions. Their use in education will expand greatly. Alfred Bork is director of the Physics Computer Development Project at the University of California, Irvine. He holds a joint appointment in physics and in computer science. The Irvine group has a worldwide reputation for the development of effective computer-based learning material, and for the development of courses employing such material along with other media. Of particular concern is the development of authoring systems for producing such material. Bork has published extensively in this area; a list of papers is available on request. He received a Distinguished Service Award from The American Association of Physics Teachers in 1976 and was the Millikan Award Lecturer in 1978. Bork is the Physics Series editor for CONDUIT, and is on the Steering Committee of the Conference on Computers in the Undergraduate Curriculum.

In May 2004, the delegates of the Library Commission of the CRuI had already identified the issue of electronic publishing as one of the strategic aspects to be addressed and explored with the utmost attention. The setting up of the working group on Electronic Publishing, co-ordinated by the University of Florence, formalised this interest, stimulating the analysis of the state of the art in this field in Italy, the opportunities which it offered to the academic world and the definition of possible lines of development. The "Recommendations" comprised in this publication are addressed to the delegates of the Chancellors of the Italian universities and their collaborators, and intended to provide information and suggestions for the development of electronic publishing initiatives. They are consequently designed not only as a tool for help and guidance for those who are already moving in the direction of a University publishing initiative, but also as an invitation to reflect on the importance that electronic publishing is acquiring for the teaching and scientific activities of the future.

Dieter Misgeld: A Philosopher’s Journey from Hermeneutics to Emancipatory Politics, by Hossein Mesbahian and Trevor Norris (2017), is a book-length transcript of a set of wideranging and extensive conversations with Professor Emeritus Dieter Misgeld. These interviews were conducted in 2005, on the occasion of his retirement from teaching at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. The “journey” referenced in the title reflects the sharp distinction between philosophy and politics that appears to inform Misgeld’s views throughout the text. In response to Misgeld, I propose that, while his understanding of philosophy as apolitical or quietist arguably holds on a narrow definition of the term “philosophy,” this definition forecloses a more radical understanding of philosophy as critique. A deeper and broader conception of philosophy as “theory,” I submit, can and should be drawn from the work of first generation Frankfurt School theorists Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno. Properly conceived and undertaken, philosophy as critical theory can and does subvert political power, albeit not in ways that one might predict on the basis of the customary separation of theory and practice. I refer to numerous moments of the discussion to make this case so as to convey the breadth and richness of the book.

Abstract A lecture/analysis given by John Rea at the University of Toronto, March 1968, discusses various topics in the composition such as: concepts (performance time, production time, subjective perception of time, moment time, moment characteristics), discussion of particular Moments, hardware, overall formal organization, definition of structure, parameter of space (an example), temporal transformation, and performance practice. The lecture text is also notable for the fact that Rea spoke to the pianist who had premiered Kontakte, David Tudor, who was in Toronto at that time to participate in a four and a half hour ‘happening’ known as Reunion (on March 5, 1968) organized by John Cage, and featuring Marcel Duchamp with whom he played chess on a photo-sensitive electronic chessboard.

Introduction: Interventional radiology (IR) is an emerging specialty which is more established in the western nations but yet to take root in Nigeria. It involves the use of radiological imaging modalities to perform minimally invasive procedures for patients. The specialty can only grow and be sustained when there is continuous supply of manpower which starts by engendering the interest of medical students. Objective: To assess the level of awareness of IR among medical students following exposure to radiological posting. Methods: This was a cross sectional prospective questionnaire based study carried out at the University of Benin. Subjects were final year and penultimate final year medical students of the school of medicine of the University of Benin. The questionnaires consisted of 16 questions that assessed the students' awareness of interventional radiology. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Science, SPSS statistics (Version 23; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Eighty six of the students (90.5%) knew the definition of IR. Sixty five of the students (69.4%) had poor knowledge of IR. Sixty six students (69.5%) knew that IR patients can be admitted into the hospital while 74 students (77.9%) knew that IR doctors can conduct ward rounds in the hospital. Seventy nine (83.2%) of the students knew that IR outpatients' clinic can be conducted. Many (63.2%) knew the pathway of training for interventional Radiologists in Nigeria. Only 24 of the students (25.3%) were interested in IR in the future. The most common reason for not considering a career in IR in the future was lack of interest (46). Conclusion: There is an abysmally low level of awareness of IR among students in this centre, although this may not be true reflection of the whole country. Hence, a nationwide study may need to be conducted.
