Involving stakeholders in systematic reviews is common practice and is advised in the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence (CEE) Guidelines (v.4.2). Frameworks for engaging stakeholders exist and should be used; however, there are additional lessons to be learned in a country, or region where evidence-based environmental management is an emerging paradigm. Based on our experience working wi...

Since 2007, low and middle-income countries (LMICs) have gained experience delivering HPV vaccines through HPV vaccination pilots, demonstration projects and national programmes. This commentary summarises lessons from HPV vaccination experiences in 45 LMICs and what works for HPV vaccination introduction. Methods included a systematic literature review, unpublished document review, and key inf...

The idea that music makes you smarter has received considerable attention from scholars and the media. The present report is the first to test this hypothesis directly with random assignment of a large sample of children (N = 144) to two different types of music lessons (keyboard or voice) or to control groups that received drama lessons or no lessons. IQ was measured before and after the lesso...

One of the most challenging issues in Project Management is dealing with Lessons Learned, which are present throughout the project. Web 2.0 technologies, e.g. wikis, blogs and social networks, can support the processes of collecting, storing, sharing, applying and reusing Lessons Learned in a project. Using such technologies to manage Lessons Learned evolve changes and technology implementation...

This study investigates teachers’ understanding of underlying unit structures including: the relationship between lessons and curriculum design principles; and the connections among lessons in a unit. We investigated: (1) teachers’ understanding of curriculum design principles; and (2) the role of teachers’ experiences with curriculum units in their understanding of underlying unit structures. ...

Schellenberg (2004) assigned 144 6-year-old children to one of four treatments in a pretest-posttest design. Subjects experienced either keyboard, Kodaly voice, drama, or no lessons over an academic year. Schellenberg reported a significant difference of 2.7 IQ points if the keyboard and voice results were combined and contrasted against the combined drama and no-lessons results. Steele (2005) ...

This study investigated French /y/ and /u/ produced by one native speaker (NS) and seven Japanesespeaking learners; four of them received lessons on /u/ with ultrasound visual feedback of the tongue shape and position. Acoustic measurements of 10 repetitions of six words (coronal context) are compared to those of isolated /y/ and /u/, and of the non-words /tyty/ and /tutu/, both before and afte...

Accidents and incidents involving safety-critical software systems often provide lessons to the systems’ users and designers, to industry, and to the software engineering community at large. Proper identification and documentation of these lessons is critical in order to prevent the recurrence of an untoward event. In this paper we examine two commercial aviation incidents involving failures of...

This study of knowledge management in the Australian Public Service sought evidence of lessons learned in what reportedly is a mature field of endeavour, having been prominent since the last decade of the previous century. Two web-based surveys and a series of follow-up interviews provided the basis for a number of lessons learned. To some extent what was learned was a reinforcement of conventi...
