Huang, Jing. "Heteroglossia, ideology and identity in a Birmingham Chinese complementary school : a linguistic ethnography." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2016. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/6887/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a linguistic ethnographic case study on a large Chinese complementary school (CCS) in Birmingham, England. Guided by Bakhtin’s theory of heteroglossia, the study investigates multilingual practices of adult participants in and around the school, focusing on the changing constructions of language ideology, Chinese teachers’ professional identity and the ethnic identification of Chineseness. It documents the impact of globalisation on the shifting relations among Chinese varieties and English in the Chinese diaspora. The 10-month fieldwork for the study was conducted in 2013/14 academic year, with observations and interviews as dominant methods for data collection. Main findings are: (1) an ideological ecology including ‘separate bilingualism’, ‘translanguaging’, ‘a hegemony of Putonghua’, and ‘a preferred school-wide monolingualism’ is dynamically constructed in the school. ‘Language as pride’ and ‘Language as profit’ are simultaneously in play leading to the dynamic ecology; (2) Chinese teachers’ professional identities are shaped by the changing structure of Chinese diaspora, the shifting power balance among different Chinese varieties and English, and teachers’ own biographical trajectories of settlement into English society; (3) practices in CCS context reflect an evolving ethnic identification of diasporic Chineseness which ‘de-freezes’ from a cultural heritage affiliated purely with the past and the national homeland.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past twenty years, parental choice has become the favoured Government policy governing school allocation and the dominant legislative approach for improving educational attainment. The existing sociological research on school choice has primarily focused on the ways in which families of different socioeconomic backgrounds have engaged with the process of listing preferences for secondary schools; while class has been emphasised, the choice processes of ethnic minorities have received little attention. Yet the persistent educational challenges faced by Afro-Caribbean students across class boundaries since the early years of migration to England raise questions about whether choice policies’ promise of improved academic performance extends to all ethnic groups. This study focuses on Afro-Caribbean families and their engagement with the process of selecting secondary schools in Birmingham. Twenty individual families in semi-structured interviews and ten additional mothers in two focus groups shared their experiences of listing school preferences. To develop a fuller understanding of how these Afro-Caribbean families made their school choices, this study draws upon Courtney Bell’s (2005) application of ‘choice sets’ to education. Families’ choice sets – the schools which they perceived to be available options – were shaped by various factors, including past school experiences, the schools available in the local authority, and Birmingham’s school allocation criteria. Additionally, geographic considerations, the ethnic mix of a schools’ student population, and families’ access to social networks also influenced which schools families saw as possibilities. Ultimately, while there was no single ‘Afro-Caribbean’ way of selecting schools, this study highlights the circumstances and structures faced by many Afro-Caribbean families which constrained their choice sets, and consequently, the schools to which their children were allocated. Though this thesis is limited in its generalisability, its conclusions lay the foundations for future research into the ways in which ethnic identity is lived in the educational context.

With a growing focus on sustainability many companies are proactively assessing their product and supply chain footprints. Cisco is a leader in the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) industry and is working to define best practices and standards. Product life cycle assessment (LCA) capability is an important competency as customers begin to request environmental impact data. The current LCA standard is to use a commercial software package, such as GaBi or SimaPro, but these tools require significant workforce resources. Often the majority of the time spent completing the assessment is focused on areas that have a minimal contribution to the overall product footprint. Industry specific estimation techniques are being developed which will allow for assessments to be completed with fewer resources. The goal of this work is to evaluate the footprint of a single rack unit router using a full life cycle assessment. Results from the life cycle assessment show that the use phase contributes over 95% of the total global warming potential (carbon footprint) given the selected assumptions. For the production phase, printed circuit boards and integrated circuits contribute over 70% of the total global warming potential. The iNEMI Eco-Impact Evaluator methodology allows for a significant reduction in analysis time to calculate a footprint and offers a valid option for creating life cycle assessments. The footprint results from this estimation technique show similar trends when compared to the results of the full life cycle assessment. The use phase is predicted to be the dominant phase. Based on a detailed comparison, the iNEMI Eco-Impact Evaluator methodology shows great promise as an option to generate product life cycle assessments with lower analysis time. This technique will allow users to integrate LCA capability into the design cycle and make valuable trades to reduce the environmental impact of future products.

Hoban, Sally. "The Birmingham Municipal School of Art and opportunities for women's paid work in the Art and Crafts Movement." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2014. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/5124/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the first to examine the lives and careers of professional women who were working within the thriving Arts and Crafts Movement in Birmingham in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It utilises previously unresearched primary and secondary sources in art galleries, the Birmingham School of Art and local studies collections to present a series of case studies of professional women working in the fields of jewellery and metalware, stained glass, painting, book illustration, textiles and illumination. This thesis demonstrates that women made an important, although currently unacknowledged, professional contribution to the Arts and Crafts Movement in the region. It argues that the Executed Design training that the women received at the Birmingham Municipal School of Art (BMSA) was crucial to their success in obtaining highly-skilled paid employment or setting up and running their own business enterprises. The thesis makes an important new contribution to the historiography of The Arts and Crafts Movement; women's work in Britain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; the history of education and the industrial and artistic history of Birmingham.

3D printing (additive manufacturing) has been around for more than 30 years. A lot of technological progress has been made in that time, most recently with new innovations such as metal 3D printing. Although the technology seems to hold a lot of promise, the rate of adoption has not lived up to the hype. The aim of this thesis is to research what has stopped 3D printing from catching on faster? What factors are hindering large scale adoption for mass production? We apply the "Iterating to Insights" framework to analyze technology limitations, market dynamics, business models and industry structure and to develop strategic insights that are surprising yet compelling. Our end goal was to develop a set of insights that can be used by an investor in a 3D printing company to evaluate whether an application or market being pursued by a potential investment is worthwhile or not.

For Johnson & Johnson (J&J), a healthcare industry leader, speed to market is a valuable component of any New Product Development (NPD). This is especially so in its Medical Devices (MD) franchise increased salable lifetime, first mover advantage, customer loyalty, and company reputation for innovation are just some of the reasons that accelerating the pace of development is a priority at J&J. Despite the incentives to speed up the development process, a typical MD product introduction takes three years from initial prototyping to full launch. Over this period, the product is repeatedly refined, prototyped, and tested for reliability and safety prior to production at high volume to meet expected demand. Throughout this process, J&J has historically favored proven manufacturing techniques such as machining and injection molding, which are well understood by the company's designers and manufacturing engineers but lead to long development cycles and high costs when used iteratively, as in NPD. Because new products can improve patient care-which is at the core of J&J's Credo-the company is currently investigating methods to accelerate the NPD process. One way to accelerate development that is being explored is enabled by the burgeoning field of additive manufacturing, or 3D Printing. Traditionally used only for early prototyping and development, innovation in 3D Printing over the past decade and recent FDA guidance on the subject opens the opportunity for its use in late-stage development, tooling, and even end production healthcare products. The scope of this effort was to investigate how MD can use 3D Printing to shorten NPD time from early prototyping through launch, with a target of two months acceleration. Through literature review, expert interviews, and close work with three project teams at J&J over the sixmonth duration of this effort, a portfolio of technical and organizational improvements were identified to improve New Product Development speed in Medical Devices. The use of 3D Printing was found to have a positive impact on all phases of development, ranging from initial design through high-volume manufacturing, with a cumulative effect of over 8 weeks of project-dependent improvement. An organizational structure was proposed to speed adoption of any new technology by using a twofold approach, which focuses on improving both organizational knowledge and internal processes to optimize company value. Additional proposals for using 3D Printing to reduce time to market include: using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) for improved injection molding tooling; increasing developer access to local 3D Printing technologies; establishing decision rules to determine appropriate investment in new technology; using polymer 3D Printed injection molds for improved prototyping; increasing minor design iterations to minimize major reliability tests; improving availability of cutting-edge high-volume additive manufacturing technologies; and developing Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) guidelines to decrease the learning curve for engineers. In compilation, these proposals show significant potential to increase the rate of organizational learning around 3D Printing and accelerate the pace of NPD in MD. 3D Printing therefore has the ability to benefit not only J&J's financial position, but also the patients it serves through new products and improved clinical outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of policy-making and practice in design education in England from 1837-1992. It takes a longue durée approach to the history of the development of design education to provide a new narrative which shows a pattern of recurring debates concerning the purpose of design education and how it should be taught. Using the curricula of furniture design courses at three art schools to illustrate the way policy was put into practice, this thesis argues that historical context is key to understanding why debates regarding the way designers should be trained for industry have recurred since 1837. Based on a wide variety of primary source material the thesis contributes to historiography by extending the scope of previous histories of art and design education, and also, for the first time, focuses solely on the development of design education, whilst acknowledging its place in the wider development of art and design education. Following the introduction, chapter two of this thesis examines the events which led to the 1835-6 Select Committee and argues that many of the issues raised during the Committee influenced the teaching of design education through the remainder of the nineteenth century; this is further demonstrated through chapter three. Charting the development of design education into the twentieth century through chapters four, five and six, this thesis shows that changing historical contexts, such as the development of industrial methods or wider changes in higher education, have also had an impact on design education. In the light of changing historical contexts, policy makers for design education have continually questioned what design students should be taught and how they should be taught, which accounts, in part, for the recurring nature of debates in design education.

Full textAbstract:
The world is becoming a global place in which science, technology, engineering and mathematics hold a key to a successful future. To help secure this future it is important to engage students early with relevant curriculum that sparks interest and success in STEM fields. However, education reform occurs slowly, so this paper looked at a potential paradigm that can help to bring about change in a middle school environment that harnesses the long standing strengths of learning and education with the integration of technology to create changes in the pedagogy of learners and teachers. The study implemented a transmedia STEM book and evaluated the impact it had on student perceptions of STEM, school attitude, academic achievement, and preferred activity types, providing an example vehicle for change that can be adopted over time. The main findings showed that students who used a 3-Dimensional printer had higher math achievement and a more positive perception of math.

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on the use of American Invention Kits from the Smithsonian Institute in conjunction with a 3D printer. In conjunction with a large dataset from a study funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), this innovative research focuses on the effect the digital fabrication curriculum unit has on gifted and talented students' knowledge and affinity toward the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Students from two rural middle schools in north-central Texas (N = 190) took part in this quantitative study; the students were divided among four subgroups: gifted-contrast (n = 12), gifted-treatment (n = 8), nongifted-contrast (n = 76), and nongifted-treatment (n = 94). The surveys utilized include the STEM Semantics Survey, TIMSS-Limited, and a knowledge assessment for the specific curriculum unit focused on the solenoid. The STEM Semantics Survey is divided into five subsets. Thirty-two separate one-way repeated measures ANOVAs were performed across the surveys and subgroups. Statistically significant results were found on four comparisons. This research holds implications in the areas of advocating for gifted education, collecting field data, utilizing large datasets, and understanding rural schools.

This research aimed to investigate whether and how eighth-grade middle school students who have difficulty in solving mathematical operations with natural numbers deepen their knowledge in this field when they have the opportunity to work with technological tools that are not frequently used in classroom. Data collection was based on twelve semi-structured interviews, which were done according to André (2008) concept of study of case. The students conceptions about solving mathematical operations with natural numbers were analyzed based mainly on the APOS theory. It was concluded that by introducing technological tools that are not frequently used in classroom, such as abacus and printing calculator, the students were allowed to deepen their knowledge about natural numbers and, consequently, reframe their conceptions about it

Reconnue pour son rayonnement littéraire dans "L'Eloge" d'Erasme de 1515, la ville de Sélestat doit sa notoriété à son Ecole Latine. Elle a formé nombre de ses compatriotes qui sont devenus de fins lettrés dans le contexte de l'éclosion de l'humanisme rhénan.L'Ecole Latine de Sélestat s'est développée en même temps que l'humanisme rhénan auquel elle a participé aux XVe et XVe siècles.L'objet de notre étude nous a permis d'entrer au coeur de cette institution scolaire et des retombées qu'elle a eues sur les lettrés de son époque.Composée d'un ensemble de sources disparates, l'enquête n'a pas été facile dans un premier temps. Les difficultés de traitement des sources ont conduit à de nombreuses interrogations auxquelles nous avons essayé de répondre. La mise en perspective avec d'autres écoles latines a été indispensable permettant de replacer Sélestat dans un contexte scolaire étendu à l'Empire. La comparaison est devenue notre outil méthodologique dans un premier temps. Nous nous sommes ensuite intéressée aux méthodes pédagogiques et aux modes d'accès au savoir. L'Ecole Latine sélestadienne s'inscrit-elle dans la pérennité d'un enseignement médiévale ou est-elle novatrice?

In this study, we applied 3D printing in an elementary school Visual Art course to improve student’s achievement and creativity as well as attitudes toward learning. The instructional design applies a 3D modeling software to design a piggy bank, and then uses a 3D printer to print out the artifact. A quasi-experimental design was conducted to evaluate the effects of our instructional design. Participants were seventy-three 6th grade students from a local school, forty-nine students were in the experimental group using the 3D printing approach, whereas twenty-four students were in the control group using traditional approach. The results show that the 3D printing approach developed in this study helped students foster their creativity and enhance their achievement as well as their attitudes towards learning. Besides, they were more willing to share ideas with their peers. These effects might attribute to the 3D modeling software provided students with flexibility in design and also avoid the limitations caused by the teacher- or self- provided materials. In future implementation, we suggest teachers should put more efforts on instructing students using the 3D modeling software, particularly on changing physical attributes of an object. By doing so, the teacher should equip him/herself with competency on using the 3D software and hardware. Although the 3D machines are safe, the safety protocol of using the machines should be applied.

Abstract This study developed a 3D printing course suitable for elementary schools, examined its teaching effectiveness and improved it after the implementation. It also constructed a model of 3D printing course for elementary schools. The research purposes are: 1) to develop a 3D printing course suitable for elementary schools; 2) to examine the development and implementation effectiveness of the 3D printing course for elementary schools; 3) to construct the development model of 3D printing course for elementary schools. This action research adopted the methods of participant observation and content analysis, collected and analyzed the research data. This study enrolled the 5th graders in a certain elementary school as the research subjects, and implemented the teaching for 3 semesters. After the 1-semester pilot teaching stage of the course, this study performed an expert validity evaluation and then corrected the course. The researcher then implemented the teaching for 2 semesters. The data were collected using multiple methods, including student learning feedback form, student learning self-evaluation form, 3D printing slicing software operation checklist, 3D printer operation checklist, result report evaluation form, drawing software basic modeling practice checklist, 3D printing work evaluation form, 3D printing project portfolio scoring form, teaching checklist, and teachers’ log, in order to evaluate and analyze the effectiveness of both teaching and learning. The following conclusions were reached according to the findings: 1.The core concepts of curriculum development are knowledge, technology, creativity, and exploratory levels. The cohesive and gradual spiral development of curriculum themes can help students gradually accumulate learning experience and strength and acquire a complete concept, skills and integration ability of 3D printing courses. 2.In the course of curriculum development, it is necessary to complete the construction of teaching platform and the compilation of practical digital teaching materials, make good use of the functions of digital teaching materials and information media, integrate life contexts into teaching materials and use multiple evaluation methods, which can help the interaction and guidance of 3D printing course learning and promote students' effective learning. 3.The curriculum model of exploring the integration of technology into curriculum themes can improve students' learning performance of 3D printing technology and knowledge and cultivate a positive attitude towards practical implementation. 4.The design-oriented curriculum model can improve students’ learning performance from basic 3D drawing design to advanced work design, cultivate their creative potential and enhance their ability of design creation. 5.Project-based curriculum model can improve students’ learning performance in the course of technological creativity, as well as their synthesizing cognition, attitude, skills and integration ability, and make them practice technological creativity and cultivate good technology literacy through action. 6.The development model of 3D printing curriculum in primary schools in this study can be applied to the 3D printing curriculums in the technological education at the primary school stage of 12-year national education. Its curriculum content conforms to the spirit of literacy oriented instruction and the new curriculum.

Through the theme of “learning by doing” and group works, the students’ learning efficiency was increased, which inspired the researcher to integrate 3D printing with cultural and creative goods and development into the courses. The purpose was to understand the students’ abilities to integrate 3D printing and cultural and creative goods. Also, through this teaching procedure, the students’ learning nature was also studied. The research consisted of a case study with data analysis primarily based on qualitative study and supplemented with quantification. The objects of study were 23 students of IT program and food and beverage department of indigenous high schools in Yilan County. They were divided into six groups. The teaching experiment course consisted of eighteen lectures (a total of nine) within six weeks. There were three units: (1) product planning, creative idea and thinking; (2) product design and development; (3) product realization and report. Through the teaching procedures of the three units, the indigenous students’ visual design abilities of cultural and creative goods in 3D printing as well as the learning experience were studied as to explore their abilities of 3D printing, visual design abilities and oral expression during the learning procedure. Through the feedbacks, students’ problems encountered during the learning procedure and the learning situations were explored. In the end, there were five experts evaluating the design of the students’ 3D printing cultural and creative goods during the final result presentation. Qualitative analysis was based on tutor’s records of pre-class interview, tutor’s observation records and students’ after class feedback. Quantitative analysis was based on proficiency assessment scale of the design of 3D printing cultural and creative goods (Likert 5-point scale). Through data analysis and cross-matching, the following results are discovered: 1.In terms of print creative thinking, the overall performance score is 3.96, almost 4, which means good. Students were able to associate circles with other things and to draw them. The overall part to be strengthened is creative thinking as the students were prone to be limited to the same direction. They required constant practices as to inspire more creativity from the students. 3D pattern design was conducted in group work. The overall average score is 4.2. The members would help each other as to achieve the learning goal. 2.The overall average score of the visual design of the 3D printing cultural and creative goods is 3.96, almost 4, which means good. In terms of novelty, the first item is 4.2, which means good, indicating that the students have better personal and original styles. The part to be strengthened is feasibility; the first item is 3.81, indicating that students shall be fortified in mastering of the Atayal aesthetics. 3.In terms of oral expression, there were six groups of students reporting in the form of PPT. The overall average score is 3.73, which is fine. In general, the reports obtained the principal and the professors’ approval. The part to be strengthened is their shyness during the reports. They should have more practices as to achieve a more precise and complete report. 4.In their learning feedbacks, the students indicated that they like this teaching activity, felt satisfied about it and found it interesting.
