Currently, politicians, university representatives, scholars and leading NGOs share a strong belief in the ability of educational systems to generate positive attitudes to sustainable development (SD) among citizens, with the idea of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) as perhaps the most apparent expression of this conviction. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether ESD might h...

Due to toxicity concerns and variation in resistance patterns, minocycline is a viable treatment option against A. baumannii. Additional studies are warranted. Disclosures. K.

In teacher education at universities, general pedagogical and psychological principles are often treated separately from subject matter knowledge and therefore run the risk of not being applied in the teaching subject. In an experimental study (N = 60 mathematics student teachers) we investigated the effects of providing aspects of general pedagogical/psychological knowledge (PPK) and pedagogic...

Lost in Translation? Teacher Training and Outcomes in High School Economics Classes Using data on 24 teachers and 982 students from a 2006 survey of California high school economics classes, we assess the effects of student and teacher characteristics on student achievement. We estimate value-added models of outcomes on multiple choice and essay exams, with matched classroom pairs for each teac...

It is our purpose, with this article, to discuss the statement “while developing Modelling activities, teacher no longer a transmitter but becomes mediator-advisor in teaching process” regards mediation-advising practice sphere of Mathematical Modelling, which considered from discursive dimension. The theoretical-methodological inputs are linked philosopher Michel Foucault’s theorizing, form di...

there is a growing interest among the higher education principals and policy makers to improve teacher evaluation methods and more important than that to use the evaluation data. a number of research studies implied the ineffective instruction of esp courses in iran (atai, 2002; eslami, 2005; hayati, 2008; ahmadi, 2008; sherkatolabbasi & mahdavi, 2012; boniadi, ghojazadeh & rahmatvand, ...

Abstract Background Cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) infection carries significant morbidity, mortality, and financial burden. Bacteremia in patients with CIED increases risk of infection. While several investigations have examined Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia infection, data regarding non-S. gram-positive coccal (non-SA GPC) has been both limited dated. The current stud...

We use methods of Reverse Mathematics to analyze the proof theoretic strength of certain graph theoretic theorems involving the notion of coloring number. Classically , the coloring number of a graph G = (V, E) is the least cardinal κ such that there is a well ordering of V such that below any vertex in V , there are fewer than κ many vertices connected to it by E. A theorem which we will study...

Those who have classroom teaching responsibilities in the academy more or less take for granted the process we engage when we prepare classes for a new semester. Among other matters, we research and select the subject matter, determine the sequence in which to present information, think about ways both to engage students in the learning process and to access their understanding of the material....
