Spaces of Mediation: Excavating Art's Boundaries

Ideas of social responsibility and exploring art's place in society are widespread and prevalent. Access, community, participation, empowerment are words that appear with increasing frequency within disparate discourses. From Glasgow's successful bid to be UK City of Architecture and Design 1999, [1] to lottery guidelines [2] and policy research [3], there appears to be a preoccupation with such terminology. However, does this demonstrate a true desire to find a point of mediation between discourses, between one place or one group and another? Do projects establish sustainability in the relationships that are built up between apparently disparate elements or are these terms linked mainly to high profile events that intervene, then move on, leaving people with little more than a memory of the encounter? This paper proposes that in order to shift the topography of art practice – the where, how and on whose terms it occurs – spaces and forms of mediation have to reconstruct the very sub structure on which they are founded.     

Searching the Web: New Tools-New Dilemmas

Drawing on their experiences as researchers and teacher educators, the authors discuss issues concerning student research that uses web-based references. This article describes ways the authors: 1) structure the inquiry process for student research, 2) help students manage the quantity of information, and 3) provide a model for analyzing the quality of information that students find on web sites. The web-site analysis form provided to students requires them to evaluate information provided about the “who, what, when, how, and where” of a web site. The authors conclude with a discussion of the ways this model helps students engage, organize, and publish information in ways that share the knowledge that the students have constructed and the process of their inquiry.

双空间搜索进化的遗传算法

传统的遗传算法由于采用固定长度的编码,使提高进化速度与收敛精度之间存在矛盾,据此提出了一种双空间搜索的方法,即在进化过程中生成动态的子空间,并同时在全局解空间与生成的动态子空间中搜索最优解,解决了二进制编码的串长与速度、精度之间的矛盾,对大范围解空间的寻优不仅提高了求解的速度,也提高了解的精度。

班级管理研究:需要“上下求索”之道

班级管理研究的现状是:摸索于同一层次,缺乏向上之理论建树和向下之有效实践.班级管理研究需要上下求索.班级管理研究的向上求索之道应是自觉采用教育学立场,辨析班级管理境界,主动提升班级教育价值;相应地,向下求索之道应是整合班级管理思路,形成系统的班级管理方法,并将系列主题活动作为班级建设的关键途径,全面规划班级发展.

Searching for Educational Technology Faculty

Since educational technology has become an integral component in teacher education programs, an analysis was conducted of educational technology positions listed in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Weekly job listings were coded from August, 2000 through July, 2001. Over this time period, 70 positions were advertised. Results found that the majority of the positions were tenure track and tended to be at nonresearch/doctoral granting institutions. These positions were typically for a generalist rather than a specialist.
