Economic Education Support Act: Changes in the Past 10 Years and Revision Directions

Although there are dozens of countries with present day border disputes, few have received such unrelenting international focus as Israel. Maps, cartography and geographic education support the developing doctrine of national boundaries that form collective national identity and ideology. Geographically, throughout the past century, the borders of Israel have become a melding of the phenomena of national identity with physical territory – also referred to as territorial socialization. My paper argues that Israel’s use of geographic description of borders specifically through cartography over time is an example of how boundaries are a powerful tool in the naturalization of ideology of Jewish Israelis. This argument is analyzed by examining historical and biblical cartography, territorial evolution, geography curriculum and textbooks, the Atlas of Israel and mental mapping by citizens. Varying portrayals of Israel’s historical, biblical, natural and political boundaries creates an ambiguous definition of Israel’s borders for citizens. In turn, this importantly shapes the present day religious and seculargeographies of the population of Israel as well as the political behaviours by the democratically representative Israeli government.

The Invisible

Over the past decade, there has been a rapidly declining trend in the prevalence of students with learning disabilities in South Korea. In 2019, only 1.5% of students receiving special education support were identified as having learning disabilities. This column reports on three current issues related to learning disabilities to provide a greater understanding of this declining trend in South Korea: (a) the ongoing debate on the definition of students with learning disabilities, (b) the continuing disagreement on the identification criteria for students with learning disabilities, and (c) the public’s limited understanding of learning disabilities. Suggestions for future directions are also discussed.

We examined the characteristics of the authors who published academic articles in the Journal of Economic Education ( JEE) during its first 50 years and identify those economists who were most productive in developing economic education as a specialized field. Employing bibliometric data, we review trends in the salient characteristics of authorship with special attention paid to gender, geography, institutional affiliation, and other factors. We also explore the JEE’s impact on the development of teaching-related research through citation analysis over the course of the journal’s various editorial regimes. The results reveal the relative impacts of authors and their economic education scholarship over the past half century and provide some insight into the possible future of the field.

AbstractThis paper provides an overview of the Australian Indigenous higher education sector commencing from its development in the early 1970s to the present. It outlines how the first Indigenous higher education support program was developed, the reasons behind the development, and how and why it has been replicated across the Australian higher education sector. The whole process over the past 30 years of formal Indigenous participation within the higher education sector has been a very difficult process, despite the major gains. On reflection, I have come to believe that all the trials and tribulations have revolved around issues of “cultural safety”, but we have never named it as such. I believe that it is time that we formally named it as a genre in its own right within the education sector. We need to extend it from our psyches and put it out there to be developed, discussed, debated and evaluated. This is what is beginning to take place within Indigenous health - so why not Indigenous education?

Per Capita

The Integrated Poverty Index (IPI) is a summary measure of poverty/deprivation that includes “poor” across economic, education and health/nutrition-related dimensions. Estimates across three decades since 1991 show a slow reduction in IPI, notably in mainly small states with middle per capita income. The growth–poverty linkage seems to be dwindling away. States with higher per capita income have not been able to reduce their IPI values in recent times, raising concerns of “IPI-trap”. Further, low-income states have been at the same level of IPI and PCNSDP for the past two decades raising concerns of both growth-led and development-led initiatives. The paper concludes that since there is a strong “income and population effect” to IPI reduction, there is a need to build synergies to secure sustainable capabilities expansion.

Results: The various historical stages in the development of the economic thought of the Pribuzhie region are described, as well as new, unpublished facts relating to individual economic doctrines. Conclusions: Political activity and public administration activities should involve economic education, which defines the essence of economic policy, its objectives and ways of realization in the practical sphere.

A continuum survey of the galactic-centre region has been carried out at Parkes at 20 cm wavelength over the areal11= 355° to 5°,b11= -3° to +3° (Kerr and Sinclair 1966, 1967). This is a larger region than has been covered in such surveys in the past. The observations were done as declination scans.

History Of

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.
