The Effects Of A Facilitator In The Performance Of A Heterogeneous Working Group : A Service-Learning Exploration In Technology Education, Shing Sun Li
Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議
The importance of scientific knowledge and technology in daily life is duly emphasized in the reformed curriculum. Also, the mode of learning and teaching is to change from teacher-centered approach to cooperative approach. ‘Learning-by- doing’ and ‘cooperative-learning’ are considered as effective means to learn. Being a pioneer in science and technology education, the researcher’s school organizes workshops for primary students and their families across the Territories each year. In the workshop held last November, secondary students who acted as facilitators, practiced their ‘generic skills’ whilst the primary students and their parents ‘constructed’ knowledge and consequently ‘valued’ their family activities. The …

The Quest For Learning In Service-Learning : Approaches And Variations In The Asia-Pacific, Betty Cernol-Mccann
Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議
The practice of Service-Learning as a teaching methodology has varying approaches across learning communities. This is to be expected of a methodology that recognizes diversities, context-based learning, and meaning-making in teaching-learning. As a communal learning enterprise, how can learning be enhanced in Service-Learning? How can Service-Learning aid the formation of a learning community? Based on her observation of the Service-Learning practices in the Asia-Pacific, the author proposes ways to maximize learning outcomes through partnerships and building of alliances.

Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議
This presentation focuses on the history, theoretical foundations, and broad practice of Service-Learning in two different contexts; the United States and South Africa. It examines Service-Learning pedagogy’s design and practice - curricular, co-curricular, or non-formal – utilized in both countries noting the influence of evolving theories of student development - intellectual, moral, civic - in order to engage conference participants in reflecting on appropriate application and possible futures in Hong Kong and elsewhere.

Cross Boarders And Reap Beyond The Obvious Outcomes, Jane Szutu Permaul
Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議
What borders are we talking about, and how might we be enriched by crossing these borders? Answers to these questions can broaden our horizons with reference to the borders that we need to cross in order to develop and institutionalized Service-Learning. Furthermore, identification of outcomes from Service-Learning beyond the obvious is essential to integrate Service-Learning into the academic curricula. We know that Service-Learning yield student learning, but is it worth academic credits? We know community service is performed, but what else?

Service-Learning As A University-Wide Program : Rationales And Issues, Kwan Yiu, Edward Chen
Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議
Service-Learning plays a significant role in liberal arts education which is the preferred form of undergraduate education for meeting the challenges of the New /Creative Economy of today. The modern world has brought about issues such as dealing with uncertainty and change, diversity, and inequality resulting from digital divide. Liberal arts education emphasizes the importance of teaching and learning processes such as interactive relationships, community services, transdisciplinarity, and international exposure. Service-Learning is a useful medium through which the liberal arts teaching and learning processes can be practiced and the issues of the modern economy can be studies or even resolved.
Ageing And Family In Asian Society : Future Roles Of Our Younger Generations, Keiko Osaki
Ageing And Family In Asian Society : Future Roles Of Our Younger Generations, Keiko Osaki
Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning 亞太地區服務研習會議
Owing to a long-term decline in fertility and improvement in longevity, the rapid process of population ageing has become an emerging reality that challenges Asian society. Along with such transformations, the family in Asia is also experiencing unprecedented changes, in terms of its structure, function and value. Prof. Osaki addresses inevitable socio-demographic changes shaping the societies in Asia and calls attention to the needs to strengthen inter-generational solidarity. Using the framework of the United Nations World Programme of Action for Youth (WAPY), she stresses that the facilitation of interdependence between younger and older persons should be a prerequisite to meeting …
U.S. Human Rights Activism And Plan Colombia, Winifred L. Tate
U.S. Human Rights Activism And Plan Colombia, Winifred L. Tate
Faculty Scholarship
Non-governmental organizations claim to play a central role in defining U.S. foreign policy, particularly in the field of human rights. Here, I will examine the role of human rights and humanitarian groups in the debates over U.S. foreign policy towards Colombia, focusing on the design and subsequent additional appropriations for Plan Colombia, a multi-billion dollar aid package beginning in 2000. I argue that NGOs were able to build on the legacy of prior human rights activism focusing on Latin America, but failed to achieve significant grassroots mobilization around this issue. I examine the structural issues limiting such mobilization, as well …

Life Long Education Experience At Lingnan University, Ying Po Cheung, Chi Ping Kwan, Che Kau Li, Kit Ha Tong, Fat Hing Yip
APIAS Monograph 專題論文
Owing to the advancement of medical technology, food availability, improved environment and health conditions, population ageing is a phenomenon that is occurring both globally and locally. In Hong Kong, the elderly population defined as comprising people aged 65 and over, was 653,700 in 1996 (Census & Statistics Department 2005a). By 2006, it will be 839,600 (Census & Statistics Department 2004), representing a net increase of 33%. During the same period (1996—2006), the increase in the old-old group (aged 75 and over) is 59%. In Hong Kong, the decrease in birth rate coupled with an increase in average life expectancy, and …

Cultural Innovations And Demographic Change, Peter J. Richerson, Robert Boyd, Robert L. Bettinger
Cultural Innovations And Demographic Change, Peter J. Richerson, Robert Boyd, Robert L. Bettinger
Human Biology
Demography plays a large role in cultural evolution through its effects on the effective rate of innovation. If we assume that useful inventions are rare, then small isolated societies will have low rates of invention. In small populations, complex technology will tend to be lost as a result of random loss or incomplete transmission (the Tasmanian effect). Large populations have more inventors and are more resistant to loss by chance. If human populations can grow freely, then a population-technology-population positive feedback should occur such that human societies reach a stable growth path on which the rate of growth of technology …

Inspiring The Retirees Towards Active Ageing : A Case Study Of The Elderly Shop Project, Kwok Fai, Tony Leung
Inspiring The Retirees Towards Active Ageing : A Case Study Of The Elderly Shop Project, Kwok Fai, Tony Leung
APIAS Monograph 專題論文
The “elderly shop” project is a project for retired elderly who are commonly identified as recipients of care and assistance, to venture into business. It provides a platform for them to be actively engaged in productive activities. This project is based on the “self-financing” business model. With the elderly as role models other social groups such as housewives and non-engaged/unemployed youths are also enlisted to provide support to this project. Together they form the service team. The transfer of “know how” and consultative support provided by the business community and professionals enable this project to provide services to those who …

Chinese Democracy: How Elite Thinking On China's Development And Change Influences Chinese Practice Of Democracy (1839–The Current Time), Rey-Ching Lu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Will China become a multiparty democracy? This is the research problem of this dissertation. My hypothesis is this: the greater the extent that Chinese elite thinking on development and change reconciles the tension between Chinese nationalism and collectivist, family-like ethics on the one hand, and the western democratic ideals based on each self-seeking individual’s subjectivity on the other hand, the greater the chance that China’s political development will lead to a multiparty democracy. The dissertation includes two parts: Chapters two to five are historical analyses, and chapters six to eight are the interviews. It is my assumption that Chinese elite …

Quand On Vient Aussi De L’Autre Monde: Appartenance(S), Conflit(S) Et Déchirement(S) Dans L’Enfant Des Deux Mondes De Karima Berger, Carla Calargé
Quand On Vient Aussi De L’Autre Monde: Appartenance(S), Conflit(S) Et Déchirement(S) Dans L’Enfant Des Deux Mondes De Karima Berger, Carla Calargé
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
My essay analyzes Karima Berger’s first novel, L’enfant des deux mondes (1989). The author who has been living in France for more than 25 years tells the story of a Muslim Arab girl (herself ?) educated in the French school system of pre-independent Algeria. In this study, I examine linguistic, cultural and religious issues raised by the novel in an effort to identify the factors that keep the protagonist imprisoned in a permanent state of being in-between-two-worlds without fully belonging to any of them.

The Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom Hierarchy And Its Antithesis, Jay H. Bernstein
The Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom Hierarchy And Its Antithesis, Jay H. Bernstein
Publications and Research
The now taken-for-granted notion that data lead to information, which leads to knowledge, which in turnleads to wisdom was first specified in detail by R. L. Ackoff in 1988. The Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom hierarchy is based on filtration, reduction, and transformation. Besides being causal and hierarchical,the scheme is pyramidal, in that data are plentiful while wisdom is almost nonexistent. Ackoff’s formulalinking these terms together this way permits us to ask what the opposite of knowledge is and whether analogous principles of hierarchy, process, and pyramiding apply to it. The inversion of the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom hierarchy produces a series of opposing terms (including misinformation,error, …
Conversion To Islam In Colorado, Patrick D. Bowen
Conversion To Islam In Colorado, Patrick D. Bowen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the scholarship concerning conversion to Islam in the West, few books or articles have been written that examine non-African American US converts. Furthermore, this literature generally neglects using models of conversion for analyzing US Muslims. This thesis is an attempt to begin such a project. For this thesis, I interviewed 13 converts to Islam over the course of a month and a half at a local mosque: 8 females and 5 males; 9 white, 3 Latina/o, and 1 non-African American black. These converts told me their stories of conversion: beginning with their life prior to conversion, the process leading …
Rediscovering Reo: Reflections On The Life And Anthropological Career Of Reo Franklin Fortune, Caroline Thomas
Rediscovering Reo: Reflections On The Life And Anthropological Career Of Reo Franklin Fortune, Caroline Thomas
Pacific Studies
Reo Fortune’s legacy to anthropology has been overshadowed by his relation- ships with friends and colleagues, many of whom came to see him as difficult. Professional differences and personality clashes pervaded his career. Despite this, he was once regarded as the foremost anthropologist of his era. Fortune’s contribution to anthropology is reflected in his major publications and journal articles that illustrate the diversity and complexity of his fieldwork.
Analytical Jurisprudence And The Concept Of Commercial Law, John Linarelli
Analytical Jurisprudence And The Concept Of Commercial Law, John Linarelli
Dickinson Law Review (1908-2003)
Commercial lawyers working across borders know that globalization has changed commercial law. To think of commercial law as only the law of states is to have an inadequate understanding of the norms governing commercial transactions. Legal comparativists have argued unpersuasively for a transnational conception of commercial law based on common content among national legal systems. Some have argued for a transnational conception of commercial law, but their grounds of justification have been unpersuasive, often grounded on claims about the common content among national legal systems. Legal positivism is a rich literature on the concept of a legal system and the …

The Determinants Of First Nation And Inuit Health: A Critical Population Health Approach, Chantelle A.M. Richmond, Nancy A. Ross
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Environmental dispossession disproportionately affects the health of Canada’s Aboriginal population, yet little is known about how its effects are sustained over time. We use a critical population health approach to explore the determinants of health in rural and remote First Nation and Inuit communities, and to conceptualize the pathways by which environmental dispossession affects these health determinants. We draw from narrative analysis of interviews with 26 Community Health Representa- tives (CHRs) from First Nation and Inuit communities across Canada. CHRs identified six health determinants: balance, life control, education, material resources, social resources, and environmental/ cultural connections. CHRs articulated the role …
