Influencing Metacognition Through Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning: Lessons Learned From A Faculty Learning Community, Sara Ahten, Rob Anson, Ingrid Brudenell, James Goodman, Eric Orton, Kathy Reavy

Sara M. Ahten

Over an academic year, five faculty and one staff member from diverse disciplines at Boise State University formed a faculty learning community (FLC). Meeting in-person twice a month, the community members worked to complete scholarly group and individual learning projects. Metacognition emerged as a theme and goal for collaborative computer-supported learning activities. They developed a model that fostered metacognition within the FLC as well as in student-focused learning projects. Overall, the projects illustrate the model and how faculty can influence metacognition though computer-supported collabora- tive learning. Specific applications and suggestions to promote learning are included.

Tsen Brider: A Jewish Requiem, Joshua R. Jacobson

Joshua R. Jacobson

In 1939 a Jewish choral conductor imprisoned in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp organized a clandestine choir. The choir and its conductor managed to rehearse and perform secretly for three years. Sensing that the end was near, in 1942 the ensemble was rehearsing its own "Jewish Requiem" when the deportation order arrived. Neither the conductor nor any of his singers survived, but the "Jewish Requiem" did survive. This article chronicles the origins and fate of this unique composition.

Shaking The Closet: Analyzing Johnny Mathis’S Sexual Elusiveness, 1956-1982, Vincent L. Stephens

Vincent L Stephens

Though pop crooner Johnny Mathis inadvertently revealed his homosexuality in a 1982 “off-the-record” interview his sexuality had long been an open secret prior to this disclosure. “Shaking the Closet” argues that the notion of “the closet” is insufficient for understanding Mathis’s career and those of many other seemingly “closeted” queer public figures. The presentation suggests that the non-threatening sexual image Mathis presented in the 1950s was an overt commercial strategy intended to appease white audiences and adhere to an imperative for public respectability, an enduring theme within African-American cultural politics. Despite these seeming compromises close critical attention to his musical …

Mortal Motivations: Reflections On 15 Years Of Perfect Beat (1992-2007), Philip Hayward

Professor Philip Hayward

Research journals are established for a variety of (often overlapping) reasons. Those emanating from academia often reflect the agendas and aspirations of individuals, departments, inter-departmental teams, institutions and/or sectors. Other factors are broader: encompassing politics, intellectual fashions, the zeitgeist (as perceived from a particular standpoint) and/or the opportunities opened up by funding (etc). But whatever the initial motivation, simply establishing a journal is in many ways the easy part of the process. In terms of enabling and sustaining it, two principal tasks arise. The first is to identify, nurture and/or mentor contributors. The second is to create a SUbscription and/or …

From The Top: Local Difference And Issues Of Heritage Identity In The Formulation Of Music Policy For Darwin, Philip Hayward

Professor Philip Hayward

In November 2004 Ian Buchanan, Professor of Cultural Studies at Charles Darwin University (Darwin), arranged for me to meet Dr Rolf Gerritsen, Director of Economic Policy in the Department of the Chief Minister, Northern Territory Government, to discuss his idea for the development of Darwin as a 'creative city' along the lines suggested by Richard Florida (2002, 2005). The particular aspect of Gerritsen's plans that interested me was his desire for music culture to play a strong role in establising and promoting that identity. During the discussion with him I made strong arguments that any such development should be informed …
