Cultural Predicaments: Designing Role-play Simulations Involving Intercultural Communication
This paper describes, analyses and compares the learning objectives and design of four roleplay simulations involving intercultural communication contexts. The aim is to elicit some practical observations in the search for an effective strategy for the creation of online roleplays that meet learning objectives involving intercultural communication settings. Can learning objectives be designed i...
متن کاملWhat Role Does Heritable Epigenetic Variation Play in Phenotypic Evolution?
To explore the potential evolutionary relevance of heritable epigenetic variation, the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center recently hosted a catalysis meeting that brought together molecular epigeneticists, experimental evolutionary ecologists, and theoretical population and quantitative geneticists working across a wide variety of systems. The group discussed the methods available to invest...
متن کاملInter-allelic interactions play a major role in microsatellite evolution.
Microsatellite mutations identified in pedigrees confirm that most changes involve the gain or loss of single repeats. However, an unexpected pattern is revealed when the resulting data are plotted on standardized scales that range from the shortest to longest allele at a locus. Both mutation rate and mutation bias reveal a strong dependency on allele length relative to other alleles at the sam...
متن کاملThe role of play objects and object play in human cognitive evolution and innovation
In this contribution, we address a major puzzle in the evolution of human material culture: If maturing individuals just learn their parental generation's material culture, then what is the origin of key innovations as documented in the archeological record? We approach this question by coupling a life-history model of the costs and benefits of experimentation with a niche-construction perspect...
متن کاملPlay in evolution and development
In this paper we examine the role of play in human ontogeny and phylogeny, following Surplus Resource Theory. We consider how juveniles use play to sample their environment in order to develop adaptive behaviors. We speculate about how innovative behaviors developed in play in response to environmental novelty may inXuence subsequent evolutionary processes. Play during this period of immaturity...
