Teacher, Gatekeeper, Or Team Member: Supervisor Positioning In Programmatic Assessment, Janica Jamieson, Simone Gibson, Margaret Hay, Claire Palermo

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Competency-based assessment is undergoing an evolution with the popularisation of programmatic assessment. Fundamental to programmatic assessment are the attributes and buy-in of the people participating in the system. Our previous research revealed unspoken, yet influential, cultural and relationship dynamics that interact with programmatic assessment to influence success. Pulling at this thread, we conducted secondary analysis of focus groups and interviews (n = 44 supervisors) using the critical lens of Positioning Theory to explore how workplace supervisors experienced and perceived their positioning within programmatic assessment. We found that supervisors positioned themselves in two of three ways. First, supervisors universally positioned themselves …

Kartini In Two Lenses: The Shifting Image Of Indonesian Modern Woman In R.A. Kartini (1982) And Kartini (2017, Aidatul Chusna, Shofi Mahmudah Budi Utami, Moh Imam Subuhi

Informasi

This paper aims to examine the construction of Kartini figure in two Indonesian films titled R.A. Kartini (1982) and Kartini (2017) and how it represents the idealization of Indonesian woman in both eras. By utilizing textual analysis, the study finds different images of Kartini presented in the films. The 1982 film tends to emphasize on the critical nature of Kartini and her anti-colonial attitude. Moreover, Kartini is also presented as a figure of Javanese woman who is characterized by her feminine gestures and manner. Meanwhile, the 2017 film constructs Kartini figure differently. Instead of focusing on her femininity, the film …

Can Superman Save The Supreme Court After Dobbs? Using Analogical Reasoning To Teach The American People The Superpower Of Stare Decisis, Brandon Stump

Cleveland State Law Review

In this Article, I propose that in this post-Dobbs America, if Americans are ever able to believe in, or even understand the magnitude of the Supreme Court’s power, practitioners, scholars, and educators should rely on the power of analogical reasoning, something attorneys are taught beginning their first weeks of law school. Using the power of analogy, we should take the simple story of Superman to explain the magnitude of the power held by the Supreme Court and the critical role that stare decisis must play in the Court’s decision-making. Perhaps if we explain legal principles and the judiciary by …

Jun Upregulation Drives Aberrant Transposable Element Mobilization, Associated Innate Immune Response, And Impaired Neurogenesis In Alzheimer’S Disease, Chiara Scopa, Samantha Barnada, Maria Cicardi, Mo Singer, Davide Trotti, Marco Trizzino

Farber Institute for Neuroscience Faculty Papers

Adult neurogenic decline, inflammation, and neurodegeneration are phenotypic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mobilization of transposable elements (TEs) in heterochromatic regions was recently reported in AD, but the underlying mechanisms are still underappreciated. Combining functional genomics with the differentiation of familial and sporadic AD patient derived-iPSCs into hippocampal progenitors, CA3 neurons, and cerebral organoids, we found that the upregulation of the AP-1 subunit, c-Jun, triggers decondensation of genomic regions containing TEs. This leads to the cytoplasmic accumulation of HERVK-derived RNA-DNA hybrids, the activation of the cGAS-STING cascade, and increased levels of cleaved caspase-3, suggesting the initiation of programmed cell death …

Sinusuri ng American Tropics ang teoretiko at historikong muhon ng terminong ito sa mga araling postkolonyal, Americano, Asyano Americano, at pampanitikan. Nagpepresenta ang “tropikong Americano” buhat sa imperyal na pagnanasa at pantasyang Americano ng iba pang mukha ng kultural na harayang Asyano Americano upang madesentro ang imigrasyon at eksklusyon bilang pangunahing tuon ng pagbubuong panlahi ng Asyano Americano.

Mga Pinto, Jhoanna Lynn Cruz, Emiliana Kampilan

Katipunan

Ang talang ito ay naglalayong talakayin ang konteksto at proseso ng proyektong “Doors,” isang hybrid nonfiction na humahamon sa tradisyonal na estruktura ng naratibo. Ang proyekto ay isang nonlinear at nagbabagong-anyong sanaysay na maaaring basahin sa anumang pagkakasunod-sunod sa gawang-sining na origami. Ang kolaborasyon sa proyektong ito ng may-akda at ng komikerang si Emiliana Kampilan ang kumakatawan sa pagnanasang lesbiana na maaari lamang mailahad sa pagsusulat na radikal, ayon sa teorya ni Nicole Brossard. Bagamat limitado ang pisikal na kopya ng zine, ang bersiyon sa video na may voiceover, pati na rin ang mga retrato ng bawat tupi, ay nagpapalawak …

Sa kuwentong itong nasa sipat ng isang beterinaryo, isinasalaysay ang pagbabago ng tauhang si Into mula sa pagiging mapayapang indibidwal tungo sa isang taong handang pumatay. Nakalunan sa isla ng Talim sa Rizal ang nasabing kuwento, at iinog sa asong si Puti na tanging kasama ni Into. Sa kuwento, ipinababatid din ang mga pagbabagong hatid ng industriyalisasyon at pangangamkam ng lupa, hindi lang sa tauhan, kundi pati sa kalikasang ginagalawan. Ito ang naging mitsa sa pagsasakatuparan ng paghahanap ng hustisyang hindi maibigay ng mga awtoridad sa kuwento.

Understanding Students' Racial, Ethnic, And Cultural Identities Through Art, Kelsey Rose Long

Art 895 Research Papers

My study aims to understand how students’ beliefs and feelings about their racial, ethnic, and cultural identities impact the creation of artwork in the art classroom. This is achieved by examining students' interactions with their teachers in the art classroom through autoethnography and ethnography. This study finds that students express their complex cultural identities through artmaking by incorporating visual culture and lived experiences connected to their families and the cultures they grew up in. This research provides art teachers with practical strategies to design and implement more culturally sustaining art lessons so they can better understand their students’ cultural identities.

The Qualitative Report

This study explored the multiple intelligence representation in the micro-credentials designed by Malaysian educators and the reasons for integrating multiple intelligences in their course materials. The study was guided by the eight indicators of multiple intelligences suggested by Howard Gardner. We conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with 20 educators from a university in the northern region of Malaysia. The thematic analysis guided by Braun and Clarke shows a number of reasons why educators included the indicators in designing their content for micro-credential. Educators generally demonstrated that they used all the multiple intelligences indicators in designing the micro-credentials. The findings are encouraging …
