Technology And School Reform: A View From Both Sides Of The Tracks, Mark Warschauer Jan 2000

Technology And School Reform: A View From Both Sides Of The Tracks, Mark Warschauer

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

A discourse of reform claims that schools must be transformed to take full advantage of computers, while a competing discourse of inequality warns that technology-enhanced reform is taking place only in wealthy schools, dooming poor and minority students to the wrong side of a digital divide. A qualitative study at an elite private school and an impoverished public school explored the relationship between technology, reform, and equality. ...

Social Science Research Findings And Educational Policy Dilemmas: Some Additional Distinctions, Steven I. Miller, Marcel Fredericks Jan 2000

Social Science Research Findings And Educational Policy Dilemmas: Some Additional Distinctions, Steven I. Miller, Marcel Fredericks

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The article attempts to raise several distinctions regarding the presumed relationship of social science research findings to social policy making. The distinctions are made using Glymour's critique of the Bell Curve. An argument is made that (1) social science models and research findings are largely irrelevant to the actual concerns of policy makers and (2) what is relevant, but overlooked by Glymour, is how ideological factors mediate the process. The forms that ideological mediation may take are indicated.

Contribution To The Knowledge Of The Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) Of Albania, Plamen Mitov Jan 2000

Contribution To The Knowledge Of The Harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) Of Albania, Plamen Mitov

KIP Articles

The opilionid fauna of Albania is still poorly known. In the entire literature on this topic from thecterritory of this country are recorded 31 species, some of which have vague taxonomical status or need confirmation. As a result of examination of material from the collections of the author and of the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia, 20 species were established altogether. Ten of these (Paranemastoma titaniacum (ROEWER), Mitostoma cancellatum (ROEWER), Trogulus nepaeformis (SCOPOLI ), Opilio saxatilis C. L. KOCH , Opilio transversalis ROEWER, Metaplatybunus carneluttii H ADéI, Metaplatybunus strigosus (L. K OCH ), Rilaena balcanica äILHAV› , Lacinius …

Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology: A Critique, Suzanne Joseph Jan 2000

Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology: A Critique, Suzanne Joseph

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

The goal of this paper is to critically evaluate Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology (AEE) as a paradigm by utilizing the method for theory framework developed by Pickett et al. (1994). While AEE can contribute in some ways to our understanding of human behavior through methods and techniques derived from neo-Darwinian theory (as well as current approaches in animal behavior and decision theory), AEE as a paradigm remains theoretically ill-equipped for the study of human ecology. This critique will focus on Anthropological Evolutionary Ecology, however, references will be made to Biological Evolutionary Ecology (BEE) since AEE relies heavily on theoretical components derived …


The Conceptual Utility Of Models In Human Ecology, Mitchell A. Pavao-Zuckerman Jan 2000

The Conceptual Utility Of Models In Human Ecology, Mitchell A. Pavao-Zuckerman

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Anthropology and bioecology are currently at a point in their development where researchers in both fields are working towards an integration, which can be described as a form of human ecology. Integration of such disparate disciplines is not easily achieved. Important steps which facilitate integration are the clear definition of terms relevant to the disciplines, and the development of a common framework which would allow the overlapping of domains of the disciplines. The objective of this paper is to contribute to an understanding of human ecosystems by discussing (1) the definition of human ecosystems, and (2) the use of models …


Tourism, Globalization, And A Multi-Sited Approach To Fieldwork In Nepal , William R. Van De Berg Jan 2000

Tourism, Globalization, And A Multi-Sited Approach To Fieldwork In Nepal , William R. Van De Berg

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Social researchers must recognize that their field sites are not isolated entities that can be understood by way of an in-depth, single-site approach, but rather that field sites are nodes in a continuum of social, economic, and environmental relationships that are interdependent. An example of multi-sited research is provided using the river tourism industry in the Himalayan region of Nepal. The multi-sited approach enabled a more thorough analysis of this global industry, including an understanding of how rafting companies ran their operations and the ability to situate environmental and social impacts within issues that occur at multiple levels of analysis, …


The Significance Of The Category "Insect" For Folk Biological Classification Systems, Eraldo Medeiros Costa-Neto Jan 2000

The Significance Of The Category "Insect" For Folk Biological Classification Systems, Eraldo Medeiros Costa-Neto

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

In most human societies, the term "insect" denotes a category that includes organisms other than those of the Linnaean class Insecta, such as bats, snakes, toads, spiders, lizards, scorpions, and slugs. Such a pattern of ethnozoological classification occurs because human beings tend to project feelings of noisomeness, danger, disgust, and disdain toward some non-insect animals (including people) by allocating them to the culturally determined category "insect". Metaphors related to this lexeme highlight the negative aspects that are normally associated with real or imaginary perceptions of "insects". This article briefly discusses this cultural pattern. It is suggested that researchers who carry …

Human Taste And Cognition In Tzeltal Maya Medicinal Plant Use, David G. Casagrande Jan 2000

Human Taste And Cognition In Tzeltal Maya Medicinal Plant Use, David G. Casagrande

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

Results of recent research strongly suggest that people find beneficial phytochemicals by selecting plants to use as medicinals and that taste plays a major role in this process. The research reported here involved an experiment performed with Highland Tzeltal Maya of Chiapas, Mexico to determine if bitterness served as a chemical cue for plants appropriate for treating gastrointestinal versus respiratory illnesses. Eight Tzeltal men and two women were asked to taste common medicinal preparations, describe the taste, and provide the name and medicinal use of the source plant. They were also shown dried specimens of the same plants and asked …

Homeschooling And The Redefinition Of Citizenship, A. Bruce Arai Sep 1999

Homeschooling And The Redefinition Of Citizenship, A. Bruce Arai

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

… This paper reviews the research on homeschooling, as well as the major objections to it, and frames these debates within the broader issues of citizenship and citizenship education. The paper shows that homeschoolers are carving out a different but equally valid understanding of citizenship and that policies which encourage a diversity of understandings of good citizenship should form the basis citizenship education both for schools and homeschoolers.
