Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of augmented reality (AG) and the flipped learning model on the attitude of 4th-grade students towards the science and technology course and to determine the opinion of students concerning videos presented through AG. Another objective of the study is to determine parents' opinions concerning AG and FL in science and technology courses. A pre-test / post-test quasi-experimental design was used with the control group to obtain quantitative data. Qualitative data were also included in the analysis to support quantitative data obtained from a case study pattern. In the study, the Science and Technology Attitude Scale was used to measure students' attitudes. The Opinion Scale for Experimental Videos was used to evaluate video usage opinions in science and technology courses. Besides, parents' opinions concerning AG applications and the FL model were collected through the researchers' interview form. Independent sample t-test and ANCOVA tests were conducted to interpret the quantitative data of the study. Qualitative data were evaluated with the content analysis method. The results showed that the AR and FL model's application provides students with a positive attitude towards science and technology; it also helped them solve problems. Besides, families have also expressed positive opinions about AR and FL applications.

Full text
Abstract:
While much has been published in anthropological discourse and teaching forums about the skills, practices and positionality of ethnographic writing, very little attention has been paid to the practices and experiences of ethnographic reading. Our project set out to investigate the potential for ‘slow reading’ within anthropological pedagogy. We invited anthropology undergraduates to select a book and engage in a period of slow reading over the vacation, before reporting back on their experiences through a focus group discussion. Students found that their ideals for slow reading were hard to realise, and we learned about the importance of appropriate spaces, times, and communities in practices of reading ethnography.

Abstract:
Mind-body practices such as yoga and meditation are often believed to instill a “quiet ego,” entailing less self-enhancement. In two experiments, however, Gebauer et al. (2018) demonstrated that mind-body practices may actually increase self-enhancement, particularly because such practices become self-central bases for self-esteem. We conducted preregistered replications of both of Gebauer et al.’s experiments. Experiment 1 was a field study of Canadian yoga students ( N = 97), and Experiment 2 was a multiwave meditation intervention among Canadian university students ( N = 300). Our results supported Gebauer et al.’s original conclusions that mind-body practices increase self-enhancement. Although the self-centrality effects were not clearly replicated in either experiment, we found evidence that measurement and sampling differences may explain this discrepancy. Moreover, an integrative data analysis of the original and the replication data strongly supported all of Gebauer et al.’s conclusions. In short, we provide new evidence against the ego-quieting perspective and in support of the self-centrality interpretation of mind-body practices.

Abstract:
The impact of urban experimentation on urban planning approaches is so far insufficiently assessed and discussed. This thematic issue sets out to investigate the possibilities and limitations of ‘urban planning by experiment,’ defined as an approach that uses experimentation to innovate and improve urban planning instruments, approaches, and outcomes. It brings together eight contributions presenting original research on urban experimentation and its relation to urban planning. All contributions are empirically grounded in (illustrative) case studies, mostly from European cities. Here, we summarize and discuss the major findings across the eight contributions with respect to three key themes: the practices of urban experimentation, its outcomes, and its impacts on urban planning. We conclude that the practices of urban experimentation described in the contributions generated a wide variety of substantive and learning outcomes, which, according to the authors, represent worthwhile additions or alternatives to the current repertoire of approaches and instruments of urban planning. However, except for a single case, large-scale integration of experimentation in established approaches to urban planning was not observed, let alone a complete transformation of urban planning practices. An area for further research concerns the relation between the way urban experiments are organized and conducted, and their impact on urban planning.

Abstract:
With recent developments in X-ray sources, instrumentation and data-analysis tools, time-resolved crystallographic experiments, which were originally the preserve of a few expert groups, are becoming simpler and can be carried out at more radiation sources, and are thus increasingly accessible to a growing user base. However, these experiments are just that: discrete experiments, not just `data collections'. As such, careful planning and consideration of potential pitfalls is required to enable a successful experiment. Here, some of the key factors that should be considered during the planning and execution of a time-resolved structural study are outlined, with a particular focus on synchrotron-based experiments.

Abstract:
This thesis draws on previous engagements between art and Geography in experimental geographies to explore relationships between artists and different forms of institutions. It focuses on experimental artists and associated experimental artist-led collectives, which I term ‘artist-led groups’, to explore how these artists and groups have experimented with different forms of institutions’ as part of their work around science and technology. These experimental artists and groups draw on successive waves of institutional critique in the art world, alongside forms of social practice, to ask key spatial and social questions of institutions. This thesis explores the approaches these experimental artist-led groups and two other key artists have used to experiment with key facets of institutions, allowing them to ask critical questions of science and technology. In doing so, this thesis demonstrates creative approaches to engaging publics around science and technology which offer potential for expanding inter- and cross-disciplinary conversations in geographical discourse. This thesis uses an experimental methodology combining a form of artistic practice as research method on the one hand and ethnographic methods on the other. It combines these methods as part of an ethnography to explore how these artist-led groups associate with one another in a social network. The thesis then focuses on two experimental artists in this social network whose works are becoming increasingly heard within geographical discourse. These experimental artist-led groups and artists are shown to operate different creative approaches when engaging with institutions. I show these in three ways, showing how 1) artist-led groups experiment with different modes of institutions to bring contemporary science and technology issues into the public realm; 2) experimental artist Neal White uses artistic experiments to critique science and technology; and 3) experimental artist Richard Pell uses his Center for PostNatural History to experiment with ways of prompting public discussions around science and technology. Accordingly, this thesis argues that these experimental engagements highlight the benefit of inter- and cross-disciplinary conversations in better understanding and shaping institutions. For geographers, this experimental approach can create novel forms of knowledge to help better understand the social nature and implications of institutions.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of professional development designed to enhance vocabulary instruction on four first-grade teachers’ vocabulary instructional practices. The study incorporated a formative design methodology and the collection of baseline data on current instructional practices to inform the design of the professional development and subsequent intervention. According to Nagy and Scott (2004), word knowledge encompasses aspects and stages that surpass the common acceptance of what it means to know a word, definitional knowledge, and into the incorporation of that word into a child's working vocabulary knowledge. The teacher participants were provided with vocabulary instructional strategies through professional development with the goal of improving their vocabulary instructional practice. Following the professional development, the researcher initiated an eight-week intervention including observations, group meetings, and interviews to evaluate the impact of the professional development. Findings indicated that the professional development and intervention positively impacted the vocabulary instructional practices of the four first-grade teachers. Implications for future research include the benefit of using effective practices in professional development and a formative design framework to impact the instructional practice of primary teachers.<br>Ph.

Abstract:
Context. Agile methods address the challenges of an unpredictable world by relying on “people and their creativity rather than on processes”, accelerate delivery of software and considered as a reaction to plan-based or traditional methods. Distributed software development helps to access a pool of skilled personnel, completion of tasks around the clock and more. Incorporating of agile methods in distributed software development could help to solve some problems of distributed software development such as lack of communication and its dependencies, close collaboration and so on. Objectives. In this study we investigate the proposed benefits of pair programming, an XP development technique used by agile, and its effects on performance and social practices in distributed software development. Methods. Systematic literature review and an experiment are utilized to fulfill the objectives of this study. In the systematic review a sub-set of the research articles are selected relevant to the subject of this study from the electronic sources including, ACM Digital Library, IEEE, Xplore, EiVillage (Compendx, Inspec), Science Direct and ISI Web of Science. Experiment is conducted to investigate the pair programming effects on performance and social practices. Results. Many proposed benefits of pair programming in existing literature are identified and reported in both collocated and distributed settings. Pair programming is reported as an effective software development technique as well as a pedagogical tool. Experimental results showed that pair programming also effects performance in distributed software development, and positively impacts the social practices (human or social factors). Conclusions. There are many benefits of pair programming reported in collocated settings and less in distributed software development. Pair programming impacts the performance and social practices positively. However, we also conclude that the effective use of pair programming in distributed software development will yield the concrete results as well as the programmers’ pairs should be trained, experienced and well motivated for an effective use of pair programming and to overcome the challenges of distributed software development.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a behavior based, theory driven multi-component nutrition education Intervention promoting healthy eating among two (17 to 19 year old) Lebanese adolescent samples from contrasting socioeconomic statuses. The effects of the intervention were examined in a quasi-experimental control design trial among two hundred and nine adolescent males and females from Beirut, Lebanon: one hundred and ten belonged to a high socioeconomic status (HSES) population and ninety nine belonged to a low socioeconomic status (LSES) population of adolescents. There were four study groups: two intervention and two control. The intervention groups received twelve nutrition lessons, one hour each, involving class based teaching, print materials and activities delivered by a dietitian. Intervention Mapping protocol was applied and constructs from the Social Cognitive Theory were used for the development of the intervention. At baseline and after the intervention, food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) were administered and three 24-Hour Dietary Recalls were used to examine dietary practices and nutrient intakes while semistructured interviews were conducted to gain insight to underlying determinants of food choice. Quantitative data were analyzed using Mann Whitney U Test and Chi-Square analysis. Post intervention, adolescents in both the HSES and LSES intervention groups showed a significant improvement (p<0.05) in some dietary practices and nutrient intakes; however, the impact was higher in the HSES group. In both intervention groups, positive changes were observed in some personal determinants of food choice but none were noted for external factors. These results propose that the developed nutrition education intervention is a promising instrument to promote healthy eating among similar groups of Lebanese adolescents; however, further research is needed for interventions that specifically target LSES groups.

Abstract:
There are several concerning issues with passwords today; one of them being weak passwords, but password management also plays a big role e.g. when the users reuses passwords over several services or don't change their passwords on a regular basis. With the usage of passwords for several aspects of our daily lives comes the responsibility of trying to mitigate these issues, a role that often falls on to the users themselves. The usage of guidelines has proved helpful in this regard but still lacks important aspects. This paper suggests the usage of education in the form of a lecture to help with the problem. In this paper we conducted a study of password leaks, a literature analysis of the area around passwords and perform some qualitative interviews with different kinds of people with varying education and usage of passwords. The results from these studies will then lay the foundation for the lecture in the experiment part of the paper, two experiment groups will be used, one given a lecture as education on the matter and one control group not given any education. The study has showed that the usage of a lecture can help increase the entropy, average length of user‟s passwords. These results can be interpreted together with another study that did a similar experiment to that a lecture can be a more efficient way to teach users about passwords.

Abstract:
Deterministic computer simulations of physical experiments are now common techniques in science and engineering. Often, physical experiments are too time consuming, expensive or impossible to conduct. Complex computer models or codes, rather than physical experiments lead to the study of computer experiments, which are used to investigate many scientific phenomena of this nature. A computer experiment consists of a number of runs of the computer code with different input choices. The Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments is a rapidly growing technique in statistical experimental design. This thesis investigates some practical issues in the design and analysis of computer experiments and attempts to answer some of the questions faced by experimenters using computer experiments. In particular, the question of the number of computer experiments and how they should be augmented is studied and attention is given to when the response is a function over time.

AbstractThis chapter focuses on the process of learning from experiments or observation by induction, broadly understood. It examines how this process has been both conceived and practiced as more or less rigorous and more or less strictly controlled in its various steps. Rigor and control might appear on many levels, such as conceiving and performing the experiment or drawing conclusions from its outcomes. They secure or enhance the reliability of the inductive process and its results. The chapter begins with a specific example of eighteenth-century optical research. The historical case serves as illustration of three theses. First, experimental control in the physical sciences has different dimensions, which are connected to different experimental traditions. Second, the ways experimental control was practiced and reflected in historical cases are related to specific epistemic goals. Third, in nineteenth-century experimental optics, at least two different traditions of experimental control and rigor were intertwined, which gave rise to most remarkable optical achievements.

Abstract:
AbstractExperimentation has been considered critical for successful software product and business development, including in video game startups. Video game startups need “wow” qualities that distinguish them from the competition. Thus, they need to continuously experiment to find these qualities before running out of time and resources. In this study, we aimed to explore how these companies perform experimentation. We interviewed four co-founders of video game startups. Our findings identify six practices, or scenarios, through which video game startups conduct experiments and challenges associated with these. The initial results could inform these startups about the possibilities and challenges and guide future research.

Abstract:
AbstractYoung children develop conceptual understandings in science from early infancy and through involvement in various institutions and activity settings. Daily interactions with peers, families, care givers, early childhood educators and teachers create conditions for young children to enhance their conceptual learning and theoretically model their understandings. However, not enough is understood about how children 5 years and under use theoretical modelling to represent their thinking in science. Recognising this gap necessitates research that applies suitable tools and, a methodology to capture and understand young children’s scientific concept formation and theoretical modelling. This chapter will discuss the use of digital methodologies and multiple strategies initiated during the Covid19 crisis. These include dioramas, drawing, and three-dimensional modelling in an educational experiment to gain deeper insights into the theoretical modelling of young children in early childhood settings involving the scientific concept of light. Importantly, the advantageous use of digital tools will be explained as a method enabling researchers to actively apply other creative tools and to participate in the children’s activity settings towards the acquisition of authentic data for analysis.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, we focus on aspects of analysis of typical simulation chamber experiments and recommend best practices in term of data analysis of simulation chamber results relevant for both gas phase and particulate phase atmospheric chemistry. The first two sections look at common gas-phase measurements of relative rates and product yields. The simple yield expressions are extended to account for product removal. In the next two sections, we examine aspects of particulate phase chemistry looking firstly at secondary organic aerosol (SOA) yields including correction for wall losses, and secondly at new particle formation using a variety of methods. Simulations of VOC oxidation processes are important components of chamber work and one wants to present methods that lead to fundamental chemistry and not to specific aspects of the chamber that the experiment was carried out in. We investigate how one can analyse the results of a simulation experiment on a well-characterized chemical system (ethene oxidation) to determine the chamber-specific corrections. Finally, we look at methods of analysing photocatalysis experiments, some with a particular focus on NOx reduction by TiO2-doped surfaces. In such systems, overall reactivity is controlled by both chemical processes and transport. Chambers can provide useful practical information, but care needs to be taken in extrapolating results to other conditions. The wider impact of surfaces on photosmog formation is also considered.

Abstract:
The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the intermediate gearbox (IGB) grease service level can be characterized through existing condition-based maintenance (CBM) practices, which include vibration monitoring sensors and analysis algorithms, in the IGB of the AH-64D. A secondary objective is to quantify a common phenomenon in the gearbox–the expulsion of lubrication during different times of operation. If both goals are achieved then common maintenance practices on the aircraft can be changed to reduce workload. Three different gearboxes of similar condition were used for this experiment. Each gearbox was run in a two hour test under different loading conditions five separate times. In each iteration, the gearbox contained a different volume of grease that increased in 25% increments of the standard service level (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). The vibration data analyzed was collected through the modern signal processing unit (MSPU) to find a trend against the different amounts of grease. To complete the secondary goal, the amount of grease ejected during the initial parts of the runs was captured and weighed. This will be used to obtain a constant number at which to service the IGB and prevent the "burping" of grease during operation. . More research should be conducted to discover whether higher-order vibrations analysis will allow this fault to be detected.

Abstract:
Access to ordinary sports clubs or video games is limited for blind and visually impaired people (BVI) which reduces mixed ability practices and social inclusion. To adapt shooting video games and sports to BVI, we analyzed the literature to find sonification methods able to support targeting tasks. We identified four convenient methods ("Pitch Only", "Tempo &amp; Pitch", "Tempo &amp; Binary Pitch", "Chroma, Beats &amp; Roughness") outcoming from other application fields such as medical assistance, navigation, or photography. To determine the best suitable sonification for shooting contexts, we carried out a within subject experiment in a 3D virtual reality environment. 24 sighted participants were asked to shoot as fast and accurately as possible on invisible targets, guided by sonic feedback only. With future mixed ability practices in mind, sighted participant’s performances were also evaluated through a visual control condition. Results showed that participants were shooting faster in the visual condition, but more accurately in the audio-only conditions. "Chroma, Beats &amp; Roughness" sonification lead to slower aiming time and more mentally demanding efforts than the three other methods. Analyses finally suggest that participants preferred to associate both pitch and tempo. Lastly, future participation of BVI persons will allow to deepen the results.

Abstract Equipment has been designed and installed for a field trial being conducted on a coastal reinforced concrete bridge with a newly installed cathodic protection (CP) system. The purpose of the field trial is to determine the optimum form of intermittent CP for protecting coastal bridges. The forms of CP that were considered for the field trial are: (1) impressed current CP as the control; (2) current-interrupted ICCP; (3) corrosion rate monitoring device controlled ICCP; (4) constant voltage CP; and (5) sacrificial anode CP. Once the test is initiated, the performance of these four forms of CP on a coastal RC bridge and their effectiveness in providing protection to reinforcing steel will be is compared with that achieved by present Oregon Department of Transportation ICCP practices. Details are presented on the set up of the experiment and the logic used to control CP intermittently. The field trial is scheduled to be started early 2007.

Abstract:
Abstract. The Polymer concrete is first established in the year of 1950s and gained popularity in 1970s repair works, building cladding and floors, as precasts components. The Polymer concrete has found applications in particularly specialised sectors due to its qualities such as high compression strength, quick curings, high specific strengths, and chemical resist. The objective of this experiment is to use destructive and non-destructive experiments to analyse the mechanical behaviour of Polymer concrete using various lightweight aggregates. Using destructive and non-destructive testing, this experiment evaluates mechanical characteristics of a lightweight polymeric concrete comprising four different types of polymeric ratios. The most important component is to reduce weight. Pumice, perlite, vermiculite, saw dust, and rice husk were utilized as light weight aggregates. Destructive tests revealed that raising the polymer ratio increased the compressive, impact strengths, and splitting-tensile, and the energy absorption of light weight polymer concrete. The properties such as ductility, impact energy, energy absorption shows decrease in efficiency. Pumice was discovered to have the best outcomes among the various lightweight aggregates. These study's findings are significant in understanding a performance of Lightweight polymer concrete and ensuring its safe deployment in a engineering applications which requires a high performance of strength to weight ratio material.

Abstract:
Predictive and agile strategies are the two main strategies for project management, however, the difference between them in terms of management efficiency in different project contexts (such as the complexity and uncertainty of the project) is not clear. In response to this problem, we transform the problem of efficiency of project management strategies into the problem of efficiency of an optimal search algorithm on a project landscape in this paper, and the difference in efficiency between the two strategies on complex and uncertain landscapes is compared using the computational experiment method. First, we develop the computational model for project and project management strategies respectively. In the project computational model, the project is considered a “project landscape” of interdependent tasks with different landscape characteristics, such as complexity (described by the number of nodes, density, and the number of node states) and uncertainty (represented by the confusion matrix), which correspond to real project characteristics. In the PMS computational model, the predictive and agile strategies are computationally represented as specific optimal search algorithms on the project landscape that capture their respective management characteristics. Then, four sets of computational experiments are designed to compare the search efficiency of two algorithms on different project landscapes. We find that agile strategies have better efficiency on the (low complexity, low uncertainty), (low complexity, high uncertainty) and (high complexity, high uncertainty) landscapes, which provides useful insight into the problem of studying the efficiency of real project management strategies.

Abstract:
In this study, we investigate the extent and mechanisms of gender-based discrimination in urban Ecuador's hiring practices, a critical issue for understanding persistent gender disparities and informing policy. Using an artifactual field experiment with 392 recruiters evaluating observationally equivalent male and female job candidates, we uncover a significant preference for female candidates. Our results show that women were preferred by a margin of 15%, despite equivalent productivity assessments between genders. This suggests that hiring decisions are influenced by factors beyond assessed productivity differentials. We hypothesize that social norms advocating for gender equality significantly drive these preferences, and demonstrate that the preference for women aligns with the observed trend of narrowing the employment gender gap in survey data

Abstract:
Introductory political science courses are usually considered Gateway courses to student success in college, yet those courses often use minimal high impact practices. This study investigates a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) as a means to increase students’ self-assessed learning gains and motivation to acquire critical thinking skills. This study used a quasi-experiment across two online sections of POLS 1101, American Government, taught at a large public Southeastern university. The experimental section made use of a CURE, and the control section did not. Pre- and post- surveys indicated significant differences in self-assessed learning gains. The section with the CURE showed more confidence and a better understanding of political science. No difference was found in motivation for acquiring critical thinking skills.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the impact of the Strengthening Women Entrepreneurship in Peru (SWEP) program. SWEP trained female micro entrepreneurs in business management practices (such as accounting and marketing). The training, which was provided in 4- to 5-hour sessions, used soap operas and practical exercises specifically designed for the program. A field experiment was conducted among a group of micro entrepreneurs based in two Peruvian cities (Lima and Piura) to investigate whether SWEP had a positive impact on its beneficiaries. The results show that the program positively affected the adoption of business practices taught by the program. In particular, those who received the training were 4 to 6 percentage points more likely to assign themselves a fixed salary (rather than taking cash from their businesses based on personal needs) and 6 to 11 percentage points more likely to keep better records of potential business contacts. Some positive impacts were found on the adoption of bookkeeping practices (4 to 6 percentage points), although this result is not significant across all of the specifications. Although these changes in adoption rates were large compared with their baseline levels, they were rather small in absolute terms. Therefore, the study did not find any impact on average business performance, household expenditures, or women's empowerment in the household. Qualitative information suggests that micro entrepreneurs were satisfied with the training, but considered that many of the practices taught by the program were difficult to follow because of time constraints.

Langlais, Pierre-Carl. Research transparency. Comité pour la science ouverte, 2024. https://doi.org/10.52949/61.

Full text
Abstract:
A 2016 survey by Nature showed that 70% of researchers have failed to reproduce an experiment by someone else. Half of the respondents have even failed to reproduce their own experiment. This is not a new phenomenon. In 1966, it was estimated that 73% of publications in psychology delivered invalid conclusions. Science historians have highlighted that even well-known experiments and scientific findings relied on inadequate demonstrations. The reproducibility crisis has drawn an unprecedented public attention to long-standing issues of data management, reporting and workflows that equally concern non-experimental disciplines. Verifiability and accessibility to primary sources and materials are fundamental issues for fields like history, the humanities or medicine. Disciplines involved with policy regulations and social debates may require some form of “value transparency” to help contextualize the research. The lack of transparency of the editorial and curation process in scholarly publication negatively affects the other forms of research transparency as it creates a large range of problematic incentives. Open science has recently become the leading framework for implementing good practices, and norms of research transparency. Community initiatives like the TOP Guidelines (2014) aim to integrate transparency standards at all the stages of the research lifecycle. Major reforms include the generalization of data sharing, the implementation of extended citation standards, the pre-registration of studies and analysis plan and the development of open editorial policies. On a broader scale, the development of open science infrastructures have contributed to relieve individual researchers from some key tasks of data maintenance. Common and interoperable infrastructures ensure that transparency is not only a scientific value but a concrete ethical framework embedded in the daily work of research.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to review relief well practices within the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). A literature review was performed on the history and use of relief wells relief and the state of practice within the USACE. As part of this study, a survey about relief well use and maintenance practice was prepared and distributed to selected Districts containing a large number of relief wells to determine their standard operating procedures for using those wells and to learn the history of their use. Responses obtained from these Districts were tabulated and classified according to the subject categories requested. Research needs and tools were requested as part of the survey, and a large portion of the responses indicated that there is an important need for research into biofouling prevention and remediation. Finally, a laboratory experiment was performed on several commercial-off-the-shelf sensors to measure effluent flow remotely. The results of the experiment showed that remote sensing of relief well flow is viable. It was found that pore pressures could be used to measure the relief well flows over a wide range of flow rates and with an error of 10 percent or less on average. Ultrasonic sensors also performed well during testing, with an average error of 10 percent or less.

Abstract:
This paper studies whether household surveys precisely identify the LGBT population and are suitable to measure labor market discrimination in Colombia. We first quantify the size of the LGBT population and estimate labor market inequalities from these data, highlighting potential pitfalls from using this approach. We then present findings from a list experiment in Bogotá, Colombia. Results show that household surveys underestimate the size of the LGBT population and may yield biased estimates of labor market inequalities. While survey estimates range between 1-4%, we find that LGBT people constitutes around 12-22% of the total population. We find heterogeneous reporting by sex, age groups, educational attainment, and marital status. Our findings suggest that while current measurement practices are a step forward for the LGBT populations statistical visibility, additional steps are required before household surveys may be used to consistently estimate discrimination and guide policy responses to protect this population.

Full text
Abstract:
The Learning Through Play (LTP) at School Research Study Ukraine was a four-year intervention study funded by the LEGO Foundation and implemented by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and the Ukrainian Educational Research Association (UERA). The intervention was a two-year professional learning program that blended online, and face-to-face learning called the Teacher Innovative Play Program (TIPP). The TIPP was designed based on documented evidence that reports that teachers need opportunities to experiment and reflect to change practice. The study was guided by three research questions which were revised following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian armed forces on February 24, 2022. The revised questions were as follows: 1. What are the barriers and enablers that limit and/or support effective implementation of LTP in intervention school classrooms? 2. How do teachers in intervention schools implement LTP and adjust their classroom practices to promote learners’ literacy and social and emotional development? 3. How do children’s literacy and social emotional skills compare between testing time points including prior to and during the invasion of Ukraine by Russian armed forces?

Abstract:
Digital games are a global cultural force, of which music is a foundational aspect. Music is crucial for digital games to develop atmosphere, convey narratives, and frame player interactions. At the same time, digital games provide musicians exciting new opportunities to experiment with dynamic, adaptive, and non-linear music structures. However, writing, producing, licensing, and implementing music for digital games also poses new challenges to existing screen music practices and business models. This benchmark is the first ever investigation into the scope and scale of Australia’s game music sector. It reveals a great diversity of working arrangements, career pathways, and skill sets among game music workers. It exposes entrenched and emerging challenges facing the field that require a rethinking of conventional approaches, and identifies new opportunities for Australian game music to flourish and grow.
