Our culture has seldom been inclined to confront the profound changes that accompany technological innovation. Like a carrot prompting a cart horse, technology entices us forward in a way that keeps us from noticing much about the road ahead, each offering results in such a slight movement that by the time we realize we are far from home, no serious re-examination of our fate seems possible. — ...

Increasing interest is now focused on how adults learn from experience, but there is no adequate framework to assist learners and those who facilitate learning promote learning in the midst of experience. This paper provides a way of conceptualising experiencebased learning which considers the personal foundation of experience of learners, their intent and their interaction with a learning mili...

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and ... try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will g...

Here we point out that the four-nucleon terms incorporate into lowest order nonlinear chiral effective Lagrangians the same description of bulk nuclear matter contained in the Walecka model, that is generally considered satisfactory. We find this point worth noticing because, while the Walecka model is an entirely phenomenological renormalizable model, non-linear chiral Lagrangians have a deep ...

Science teachers should be able to notice student preconceptions in order adapt instructions their students’ needs and support the learning process. Noticing as a core practice of teaching thus implemented early science teacher education. A crucial prerequisite for noticing is knowledge about preconceptions, which an important element teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge. To enhance pre-serv...

Fossilization has become the focus of many L2 studies since its introduction in 1972 as many learners fail to achieve native-speaker competence. Researchers have tried to unravel the causes of fossilization, among which noticing has been claimed to be of great importance. This  study  aimed  to  explore  the  effect  of  noticing  on  fossilization.  To  achieve  this  aim,  a mixed-methods app...

pointing at the mouse, shouted triumphantly, 'There it is!' Order having been restored by catching the mouse, the surgeon advanced once more towards the operating table. In doing so he struck his head violently against the rim of the operating lamp, not noticing that it had been placed somewhat lower than usual. He collapsed on to the floor, briefly concussed, and the patient sat up again, gazi...

a f (x) dx− b− a n n ∑ i=1 f (a+ xi (b− a)) ∣∣∣∣ 5 2m+ 5 4 (b− a)m+1 (m+ 1)! (S − s) (?) holds, where S := supa5x5b f (m)(x), s := infa5x5b f (m)(x) and for suitable x1, x2, . . . , xn. It is worth noticing that n,m are arbitrary numbers. This means that the estimate in (?) is more accurate whenm is large enough. Our approach is also elementary. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
