the aim of this study is investigation of the relation between theoretical and practical knowledge of teachers in curriculum implementation paradigms. in this article, three relationships between theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge were presented. these were formed with regard to three paradigms in curriculum studies field which based on relationship between theory and practice. three...

The Gautreaux data for this paper were created with the assistance of the Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities under special agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the National Center for Health Statistics. Generous support for data construction and analysis was provided by Daniel Rose and the MIT Center for Real Estate, the National Bureau of Ec...

In order for techniques from Model Driven Engineering to be accepted at large by the game industry, it is critical that the effectiveness and efficiency of these techniques are proven for game development. There is no lack of game design models, but there is no model that has surfaced as an industry standard. Game designers are often reluctant to work with models: they argue these models do not...

The questions we ask include: Why don’t economic institutions spontaneously adjust to the requirements of economic growth? Why did the Industrial Revolution originate in England, and why did it spread only to some countries? Why have transition-to-markets reforms failed in some post-Soviet economies and succeeded elsewhere? In the “New Economy”, what adjustments in property rights are needed to...

More than 3⁄4 of large software projects suffer large cost and schedule overruns or fail outright. Deficits in project requirements cause more than half of these failures and overruns. This is in part because the establishing of software requirements is fraught with complexity. Finding ways to manage that complexity might be an important step in reducing the risk of software development. Group ...

Large engineering programs like sociotechnical infrastructure constructions of airports, plant constructions, or the development of radically innovative, high-tech industrial products such as electric vehicles or aircraft are affected by a number of serious risks, and subsequently commonly suffer from large cost overruns. Significant problems in program execution can be traced back to practices...

Despite many works in CSCW, groupware, workflow systems and social networks, computer support for human-to-human interactions is still insufficient, especially support for agility, i.e. the capability of a group of human beings, collaborators, to rapidly and cost efficiently adapt the way they interact to changes. In this paper, requirements for computer support for agile H2H interactions are p...

This study examines structural incongruences between organizational and product domains and their implications for coordination effectiveness in large-scale software development. We use the ongoing shift from on-premise to cloud-based software solutions to examine longitudinal effects of structural incongruences, i.e. the mismatch between organizational structures, including knowledge and task ...

Documenting argumentation (i.e., design rationale) has great potential for serving design. Despite this potential benefit, our analysis of Horst Rittel's and Donald Schon's design theories and our own experience has shown that there are the following fundamental obstacles to the effective documentation and use of design rationale: (a) A rationale representation scheme must be found that organiz...
