In the performing arts, including music, theater, dance and so on, theoretical issues both about artworks and about performances of them must be dealt with, so that their theoretical analysis is inherently more complex and troublesome than that of nonperforming arts such as painting or film, in which primarily only artworks need to be discussed. Thus it is especially desirable in the case of th...

John Dilworth Plays, symphonies and other works in the performing arts are generally regarded, ontologically speaking, as being types, with individual performances of those works being regarded as tokens of those types. But I show that there is a logical feature of type theory which makes it impossible for such a theory to satisfactorily explain a 'double performance' case that I present: one i...

In this paper we focus on the interaction between performers and machines using linguistic tools. Indeed the Computing with Words (CW) framework is well-suited to human performances when linguistically expressed. We thus address the problem of designing a library that implements such concepts in the performing arts framework. The proposal takes place in the Max/MSP software where our patches ha...

The objective of this study was to establish an association between academic performance in Math, Language Arts, and Science and the presence of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) among healthy schoolchildren from the city of Concepción, Chile. Healthy children were defined as those without comorbidities. Outcome measures of interest included the analysis of academic performance in Math,...

The arts have long been valued for their aesthetic contributions to education, and studies have been conducted to demonstrate their contribution to academic performance in an attempt to justify their inclusion in the curriculum. Art integration involves learning core content subjects (math, reading, language, science, social studies) through the arts (drama, dance, music, visual arts). The focu...

Learner construction of their understanding is one of the basic tenets of a constructivist framework of learning. Technology-supported learning environments have been developed to support construction and allow students to employ resources to express their ideas and arguments. A new product, StageStruck, has been developed to extend the process of knowledge construction to knowledge domains in ...
