The Upper Paleolithic Revolution

■ Abstract The transition from the Middle Paleolithic to the Upper Paleolithic is considered one of the major revolutions in the prehistory of humankind. Explanations of the observable archaeological phenomena in Eurasia, or the lack of such evidence in other regions, include biological arguments (the role of Cro-Magnons and the demise of the Neanderthals), as well as cultural-technological, an...

a paradigm shift away from method-wise teaching to strategy-wise teaching: an investigation of reconstructive strategy versus communicative strategy

چکیده: هدف اصلی این مطالعه ی توصیفی تحقیقی در حقیقت تلاشی پساروش-گرا به منظور رسیدن به نتیجه ای منطقی در انتخاب مناسبترین راهکار آموزشی بر گرفته از چارچوب راهبردی مطرح شده توسط والدمر مارتن بوده که به بهترین شکل سازگار و مناسب با سامانه ی آموزشی ایران باشد. از این رو، دو راهکار آموزشی، راهکار ارتباطی و راهکار بازساختی، برای تحقیق و بررسی انتخاب شدند. صریحاً اینکه، در راستای هدف اصلی این پژوهش، ر...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Are Upper Paleolithic blade cores more productive than Middle Paleolithic discoidal cores? A replication experiment.

It is widely believed that the change from discoidal flake production to prismatic blade-making during the Middle-Upper Paleolithic transition in Europe led to enhanced technological efficiency. Specifically, blade-making is thought to promote higher rates of blank production, more efficient and complete reduction of the parent core, and a large increase in the total length of cutting edge per ...
