New Knowledge

Is there a way to know how to deal with and to act when unexpected challenges press on? In this article, I will explore how to educate for learning new knowledge in value-based professions. Taking a starting point in the sociomaterial learning theories of Paavola and Hakkarainen (2005) I analyse the course descriptions in the professional pastor education in the Netherlands and in Norway. The findings show unexpected and various practices of learning new knowledge in the Dutch and the Norwegian pastor education. Based on these findings I present a model for how professional education can develop learning new knowledge.Nøkkelord: Profesjonell læring, faglig utdanning, kunnskaping, endring av kunnskapssamfunn, pastorutdanning

New Knowledge

The quality of programs in library and information activity offered by various advanced professional training centers are discussed along with the issues and vectors of advanced training of the RNPLS&T staff. The RNPLS&T has to choose between expensive courses when new knowledge and skills are guaranteed, and online express courses (fast, easy, cheaply) where no new competences are guaranteed though employees get standard certificates. This trend facilitates establishing more and more online training centers that are just making money due to the demand for standardized certification. The double standards of education programs evaluation influence the quality of knowledge, though documented and certified. The authors argue that the above mentioned educational organizations have to be controlled, the more so, as the libraries are to accomplish their staff appraisal.

AbstractAs a work of propaganda, graphics Austroseraphicum Coelum Paulus Pontius should create a new reality, make appearances. The main impression while seeing the graphics is the admiration for the power of Habsburgs, which interacts with the power of the Mother of God. She, in turn, refers the viewer to God, as well as Franciscans placed on the graphic, they become a symbol of the Church. This is a starting point for further interpretation of the drawing. By the presence of certain characters, allegories, symbols, we can see references to a particular political situation in the Netherlands - the war with the northern provinces of Spain. The message of the graphic is: the Spanish Habsburgs, commissioned by the mission of God, they are able to fight all of the enemies, especially Protestants, with the help of Immaculate and the Franciscans. The main aim of the graphic is to convince the viewer that this will happen and to create in his mind a vision of the new reality. But Spain was in the seventeenth century nothing but a shadow of former itself (in the time of Philip IV the general condition of Spain get worse). That was the reason why they wanted to hold the belief that the empire continues unwavering. The form of this work (graphics), also allowed to export them around the world, and the ambiguity of the symbolic system, its contents relate to different contexts, and as a result, the Habsburgs, not only Spanish, they could promote their strength everywhere. Therefore it was used very well as a single work of propaganda, as well as a part of a broader campaign

This chapter takes as its starting point the contemporary idea that the Netherlands is one of the least corrupt countries in the world; an idea that it dates back to the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. In this chapter, the authors explain how corruption was controlled in the Netherlands against the background of the rise and fall of the Dutch Republic, modern statebuilding and liberal politics. However, the Dutch case also presents some complexities: first, the decrease in some forms of corruption was due not to early democratization or bureaucratization, but was rather a side-effect of elite patronage-politics; second, although some early modern forms of corruption disappeared around this period, new forms have emerged in more recent times.

Phage lytic proteins are a clinically advanced class of novel enzyme-based antibiotics, so-called enzybiotics. A growing community of researchers develops phage lytic proteins with the perspective of their use as enzybiotics. A successful translation of enzybiotics to the market requires well-considered selections of phage lytic proteins in early research stages. Here, we introduce PhaLP, a database of phage lytic proteins, which serves as an open portal to facilitate the development of phage lytic proteins. PhaLP is a comprehensive, easily accessible and automatically updated database (currently 16,095 entries). Capitalizing on the rich content of PhaLP, we have mapped the high diversity of natural phage lytic proteins and conducted analyses at three levels to gain insight in their host-specific evolution. First, we provide an overview of the modular diversity. Secondly, datamining and interpretable machine learning approaches were adopted to reveal host-specific design rules for domain architectures in endolysins. Lastly, the evolution of phage lytic proteins on the protein sequence level was explored, revealing host-specific clusters. In sum, PhaLP can act as a starting point for the broad community of enzybiotic researchers, while the steadily improving evolutionary insights will serve as a natural inspiration for protein engineers.

This article surveys reinforcement learning approaches in social robotics. Reinforcement learning is a framework for decision-making problems in which an agent interacts through trial-and-error with its environment to discover an optimal behavior. Since interaction is a key component in both reinforcement learning and social robotics, it can be a well-suited approach for real-world interactions with physically embodied social robots. The scope of the paper is focused particularly on studies that include social physical robots and real-world human-robot interactions with users. We present a thorough analysis of reinforcement learning approaches in social robotics. In addition to a survey, we categorize existent reinforcement learning approaches based on the used method and the design of the reward mechanisms. Moreover, since communication capability is a prominent feature of social robots, we discuss and group the papers based on the communication medium used for reward formulation. Considering the importance of designing the reward function, we also provide a categorization of the papers based on the nature of the reward. This categorization includes three major themes: interactive reinforcement learning, intrinsically motivated methods, and task performance-driven methods. The benefits and challenges of reinforcement learning in social robotics, evaluation methods of the papers regarding whether or not they use subjective and algorithmic measures, a discussion in the view of real-world reinforcement learning challenges and proposed solutions, the points that remain to be explored, including the approaches that have thus far received less attention is also given in the paper. Thus, this paper aims to become a starting point for researchers interested in using and applying reinforcement learning methods in this particular research field.

Training Opportunities

Dietetic educators and practicum coordinators (PC) play critical roles in preparing students for practice. Dietitians have made significant progress in the development of educational curricula, competencies, and other resources to support knowledge and skill attainment in public health. There are identified gaps in the literature concerning practical training in sustainable food systems and public health, creating barriers in knowledge exchange and improvements in practicum programs in Canada. This paper discusses the potential opportunities and challenges associated with the number of placements for practical training in public health based on interviews with PCs in Ontario. The findings are limited to the perspectives of 7 PCs with experience in practical training and are a starting point for ongoing evaluation. Identified opportunities within traditional and “emerging settings” for practical training in public health included: the uniqueness of the experience, the potential for students to learn outside their comfort zones, and greater possibilities for dietitians in new roles and settings. Challenges included the need for significant PC engagement with nondietetic preceptors and a narrow view of dietetic practice among some dietitians. Interprofessional teams, emerging settings, and flexible learning approaches may create and support practical training opportunities in food systems and public health going forward.

<p class="Paragraph1"><span lang="EN-US">The paper of Barber, Donnelly &amp; Rizvi (2013): “An avalanche is coming: Higher education and the revolution ahead”  addresses some significant issues in higher education and poses some challenging questions to ODL (Open and Distance Learning) administrators, policy makers and of course to ODL faculty in general.  Barber et al.’s paper does not specifically address the area of teaching and learning theories, strategies and methodologies per se.  In this paper I would therefore like to reflect on the impact that the contemporary changes and challenges that Barber et al. describes, have on teaching and learning approaches and paradigms.  In doing so I draw on earlier work about future learning paradigms and navigationism (Brown, 2006).  We need a fresh approach and new skills to survive the revolution ahead.  We need to rethink our teaching and learning strategies to be able to provide meaningful learning opportunities in the future that lies ahead.</span></p>

Every new writer faces the problem of right directions in writing research papers. Many researchers cannot start writing because they do not have a right starting point, or they do not know how to write an article. I have tried to simplify the process of writing a research article by providing a step wise guide. I have used some sources which are cited here; (Crack, Grieves, & Lown, 2011; Farooq et al., 2019; Henningsen, 2015; Jindrich, 2018; Springer, 2019).

O presente trabalho traz os resultados de uma pesquisa que procurou identificar de quais abordagens e teorias de aprendizagem provêm os princípios didático-pedagógicos que os Projetos Pedagógicos de Curso (PPCs) dos cursos de Pedagogia a distância oferecidos por universidades federais da Região Nordeste propõem para o planejamento e desenvolvimento de suas tecnologias educacionais (ambientes, materiais e atividades). Após a revisão de literatura sobre abordagens e teorias de aprendizagem, seguida das análises documental e de conteúdo dos PPCs, identificamos que preponderam princípios escolanovistas, construtivistas e socioconstrutivistas. Contudo: a) a forma de operacionalização de tais princípios no planejamento e desenvolvimento dos ambientes, materiais e atividades é pouco objetiva; e b) os processos de avaliação da aprendizagem (e instrumentos utilizados) não são descritos ou o são de forma imprecisa. Tais achados sugerem que os PPCs, documentação balizadora dos cursos, não são utilizados como referência para o planejamento e o desenvolvimento das tecnologias educacionais empregadas nos cursos investigados. Palavras-chave: Educação a distância, Pedagogia, Teorias de aprendizagem, Tecnologias educacionais, Projeto pedagógico de curso. Approaches and Theories of Learning Proposed by the Projects of Pedagogy Distance Education Course for the Development of Educational TechnologiesAbstractThis paper presents the results of a study that aimed to identify from which learning approaches and theories come the didactic and pedagogical principles that the Courses Pedagogical Project o (PPCs) of Pedagogy distance courses offered by federal universities in the Northeast region propose to design and develop their educational technologies (environments, materials and activities). After a literature review of approaches and learning theories, followed by the documentary and content analysis of PPCs, we identified that the prevail principles come from New School, Constructivist and Socioconstrutivism. However: a) the documents are not objectives on how to operationalize these principles in designing and developing environments, materials and activities, and; b) the learning evaluation processes (and instruments) are not described or are inaccurate. These findings suggest that the PPCs, the basic documentation of the courses, are not used as references for designing and developing the educational technologies used in the investigated courses.Keywords: Distance education, Pedagogy, Learning theories, Educational technologies, Course projects.
