Abstract:
Thesis (MEd (Education))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016.<br>Numerical and algebraic equations require understanding of the equal sign as an equivalence relation. Teachers and learners, however, often have an operational, rather than a relational, understanding of the equal sign. This conception is viewed as a misconception. This study investigates the extent to which Grade 6 learners at a particular school have this and other misconceptions regarding equality, with the equal sign as focus. It also investigates this school’s Grade 1 to 6 teachers’ specialised content knowledge (SCK) regarding equality, again focusing on the equal sign. Ultimately the study wishes to establish whether there might be a possible relationship between the level of these teachers’ SCK of the equal sign and learners’ misconceptions of the equal sign. In particular, it tries to answer the question whether teachers’ SCK of the equal sign could possibly promote or prevent the forming of such misconceptions in learners, as well as whether teachers’ SCK of the equal sign could possibly help them identify learners’ misconceptions and help learners form the correct conceptions. This research project is framed within an interpretive paradigm. It focuses on one school taking the form of a theory-led case study in which a mixed method approach is used. Data collection methods include teacher questionnaires followed by two focus group interviews with teachers, based on data collected from questionnaires. In addition, data is collected through a series of lesson observations on number concepts and assessment. Grade 6 learners answered a set of questions structured in the form of a test to investigate their understanding of equality and the equal sign. Six learners were purposefully selected, based on their answers to the questions, and interviewed. Although this school is a high-performing academic school, results indicate that few learners have a flexible operational or basic relational view of the equal sign. The same group of learners that struggle with closure seems to struggle with the misconception of using all the numbers in an equation to solve a particular equation. The majority of Grade 6 learners cannot define the equal sign correctly. According to results, the nature of Grade 1- 6 teachers’ SCK of the equal sign shows that teachers lack skills to prevent, reduce or correct misconceptions about the equal sign.

Abstract:
An extensive literature review has been undertaken to create an accurate portrayal of North American Indian Sign Language as used by both deaf and hearing American Indians. Historical accounts are stressed as the primary source for understanding the extent of signed language use among the American Indians of North American and its decline to the present status as an endangered language. This sign language has functioned in two significant ways: (1) primarily (for hearing tribal members) as an alternative to the spoken language and (2) as a primary, or first language for deaf tribal members. It is critical to bear this distinction in mind for future investigations into the linguistic status of North American Indian Sign Language. Additional historical accounts related to American Indians' encounters with the signed language use among Deaf Anglos are also included. An ongoing research project involving the preservation of old film in which North American Indian Sign Language has been documented in 1930s and the current data collection of deaf NAISL signer is discussed as a potential source for future research and as a viable access to the heritage of American Indians.

Abstract:
Experimental observations have shown that economic agents behave in ways different from the maximization of any utility function. Herbert Simon sought to deal with this by positing that individuals do not maximize, but rather "satisfice." This was a radical departure from the traditional economic framework, and one that still has not been adequately formalized. But Simon's suggestion is only the smallest part of what is needed for a theory that reflects the actual behavior. For instance, Simon's framework cannot deal with the observation that the act of choice changes the chooser. This dissertation is further developing Simon's original ideas through embracing John Dewey's transactional thinking to attain an adequate theory of economic choice that accounts for boundedly rational agents. I clarify that substantive rationality and bounded (procedural) rationality share the same basic utilitarian assumption of predetermined goals. In terms of a Deweyan (transactional) analysis, the idea of utilitarian "optimization" ultimately guides and constrains both theories. But empirical study of choice behavior and the behavior of subjects in experimental laboratories, both indicate that neither substantive nor procedural rationality can effectively account for actual economic choices. I emphasize the importance of treating bounded rationality without reference to the rational framework. To me, bounded rationality implies a realistic picture of behavior, which is associated with emerging goals and not ones that exist prior to the making of a choice. I consider uncertainty as a normal characteristic of the situation, which in turn allows consideration of acting based on inconsistent information, just as people actually do. The basis of a systematic approach to behavior that can capture inconsistency is developed by Tom Burke. He mathematizes Dewey's logic. He allows for impossible worlds in the set of states. Thus, not only can the initial state space hold inconsistent states, the information set can include mutually inconsistent elements. So the current neoclassical paradigm resembles the representative realism, but is there any good reason why we should accept this methodology as economists? Whatever one's ultimate metaphysics and epistemology, I want to show that an alternative approach to economic decision-making may prove highly useful in theory and practice.<br>Ph. D.

Abstract:
This dissdertation concerns the evolution of the collective remembrance of the Fifteen-year War (1931-1945) in China between 1945 and 1982. Exploring how the Fifteen-year War has been remembered in mainland China is an essential step in understanding the origin of the currently explosive Si no-Japanese History Problem. Moreover, remembrance of the war has been entangled with Chinese international relations and various domestic affairs in the postwar era. However, despite its importance, research on the evolution of mainland China's Fifteen-year War remembrance is a relatively new genre. Most of this research argues that the Fifteen-year War remembrance was discouraged in China before 1982, and the current problematic aspects of the Chinese Fifteen-year War remembrance should be attributed to the patriotic campaigns sponsored by the CCP regime since around the 1982 Textbook Incident, which was considered as the first large-scale diplomatic conflict between China and Japan over the Fifteen-year War history. Nevertheless, two major shortcomings of this research's examination on the pre-1982 period - a lack of thorough firsthand study and a strong government-centred view - render its above argument oversimplified and partial. This thesis aims to overcome these shortcomings and present a new picture as to the situation of the Fifteen-year War remembrance in mainland China before 1982. The thesis's first chapter examines pre-1982 Sino-Japanese relations to find out what the correlation was between the Fifteen-year War remembrance and China's relationship with Japan. Chapter 2 explores the manoeuvre of glorifying the Fifteen-year War Martyrs before 1982. Chapter 3 examines the realms of the Fifteen-year War remembrance constructed by the state as an agent: the national anthem, the school history textbooks and history museums; and pays attention to the central-local dimension of the Chinese war remembrance. Chapter 4 examines the realms of the war memory constructed by unofficial agents - the Fifteen-year War themed arts, scholarly works and grassroots memories -and emphasises the interaction between the state and unofficial agents in constructing the PRC war remembrance. The thesis's Conclusion consists of two parts. Firstly, I argue that the Fifteen-year War was well remembered in China before 1982, although not on a scale as large as today. Central as well as local authorities and various unofficial agents of the war memory interacted with each other to shape a relatively unified remembrance of the Fifteen-year War in China. The core part of the national memory promoted by the central CCP regime, as reflected in school history textbooks and national history museums, was the series of heroic and tragic wartime events which could justify the CCP's wartime leadership. On the top of that were various memories that thrived in the local areas and were remembered privately by individuals. Further, this thesis' empirical research has provided evidence to invalidate the three explanations which are given in the existing literature to support the pre-1982 'Chinese generous amnesia' argument. Secondly, I argue that, as in China, the Fifteen-year War remembrance was also an integrated part of postwar Japanese society. However, unlike its Chinese counterpart, the Japanese war remembrance was highly contested. Still, there was one thing which was shared by almost all groups in postwar Japanese society - the victim mentality. Moreover, both the PRC and Japan's war remembrance after 1982 is a natural continuation of that of before 1982; the origin of the current problematic war remembrance in China and Japan comes from this period as well.

Abstract:
碩士<br>立德大學<br>工業管理研究所<br>97<br>Under the period of knowledge explosion, the few-babies tendency and the respect to the educational idea of diversification, teachers’ work has transferred from one-way instruction of knowledge to the education policy that emphasizes concern and love. This study focus to find out the most important volunteer services items for students and support teachers what they are insufficient and eliminate improper items that students and teachers consider by using the Kano’s quality model. From the questionnaire of volunteer services items, we can maintain or raise what belong to Attractive and One-Dimensional qualities and eliminate all the Reverse qualities to enhance the competition of the school. According to the Importance-Satisfaction model, the volunteer services items can be divided into Excellent, To-Be-Improved, Surplus and Care-Free areas for schools to consider when the volunteers are recruited. The study reveals that volunteers are highly valued in participating in abnormal behavior counseling and supporting community characteristic teaching under the quality classifications of Kano’s model. By the classifications of the Importance- Satisfaction model, what belong to Excellent area are as follows:“volunteers help clean the circumstance”, “volunteers help counsel students’ deviant behaviors”, “volunteers institute disadvantaged families holiday educational activities”, “volunteers participate in abnormal behavior counseling”, “volunteers help after-school tutoring”, “volunteers help weed”, “volunteers sponsor activities”, “volunteers conduct traffic during the activities” and “volunteers help conduct traffic during attending and leaving school periods”. After cross matching, some service items really can enhance the satisfaction of educational quality and also deserve schools paying attention to, such as “volunteers help counsel students’ deviant behaviors”, “volunteers help weed” and “volunteers help after-school tutoring” and so on.

Full text
Abstract:
Vanadium extraction methods were developed for iron-vanadium-phosphorus (Fe-V-P) melts derived from processing of V-bearing titanomagnetites and steel slags. Studies on phase relationships of V slags were carried out to provide important understanding of the extraction processes. Phase relationship in vanadiferous slag was investigated experimentally at 1573K, 1673K and 1773K, for the compositional range of 0-6mass% Al2O3, 1-5mass% CaO, 10-17mass% SiO2, with MnO and V2O3 fixed at 5.5mass% and 30mass%, balanced with FeO. The slags were found to be solid-liquid mixtures, of liquid, spinel and in some cases free silica. Alumina was identified as the preferred additive to prohibit precipitation of free silica. A method for V extraction to vanadiferous slag was developed based on Fe-V(2mass%)-P(0.1mass%) melts at 1677K using a semi-industrial scale BOF. Oxidation was carried out with an oxygen enriched air jet and iron ore pellets. The complete dissolution of pellets was achieved by deliberately creating good stirring conditions utilising high momentary decarburisation rates. The P distribution to the slag was low when good stirring conditions was obtained. Phase relationship in Al2O3-CaO(25-35mass%)-SiO2-VOx slag was investigated experimentally at an oxygen partial pressure of 9.37•10-11atm and 1873K. The maximum solubility of V-oxide in the slag was 9-10mass% V2O3. Two solid phases were found, a solid solution of Al2O3 in V2O3 (karelianite) and hibonite with fractionation of V into the crystal structure. V extraction experiments to Al2O3-CaO-SiO2 based slags were carried out in 150kg scale by blowing CO2 gas into the metal bath consisting mainly of 1-10mass% V and 1mass% P. At these conditions, oxidation of V was favoured over Fe. Up to 10-13mass% V2O3 could be dissolved in the slag before a viscous slag saturated in V-oxide was observed. The phosphate capacity in the slag was low and as a result this slag could at once be subjected to a final reduction step for production of ferrovanadium with 40-50mass% V.<br>Metoder för att utvinna vanadin till högvärdiga vanadinslagger från metallsmältor innehållande främst järn (Fe), vanadin (V) och fosfor (P) utvecklades. Metallsmältorna framställs genom att processa primära V råvaror, såsom titanomagnetit, och sekundära råvaror av i huvudsak vanadinrik stålslagg. Fasstudier av högvärdiga vanadinslagger genomfördes som grund för utvecklingsarbetet. Experimentella fasstudier av vanadinspinellslagg med 30vikt% V2O3 och 5.5vikt% MnO genomfördes vid en temperatur av 1573K, 1673K och 1773K. Övriga komponenter i slaggen varierades inom ett intervall av 0-6vikt% Al2O3, 1-5vikt% CaO och 10-17vikt% SiO2, viktad med järnoxid. Samtliga slagger var sammansatt av både flytande- och fastfas. Den fasta fasen utgjordes främst av en vanadin- och järnrik spinellfas och i vissa fall även av fri SiO2. Genom försök i en stålkonverter i semi-industriell skala utvecklades och validerades en metod för vanadinutvinning från råjärnsmältor innehållande 2vikt% V och 0.1vikt% P, vid en temperatur av 1677K. Oxidationen utfördes med syreanrikad luft via en vattenkyld topplans och genom tillsats av hematit pellets. Omsättningen av pellets säkerhetsställdes genom god omrörning som erhölls under korta perioder med höga gasvolymer som en effekt av hög avkolningstakt. Råjärnet efter behandlingen innehöll cirka 3vikt% C och 0.1vikt% V. Producerad vanadinspinellslagg bestod av upp till 30vikt% V2O3. Fosforfördelningen till slaggen var låg under processbetingelser med god omrörning. Experimentella fasstudier av Al2O3-CaO(25-35vikt%)-SiO2-VOx slagg genomfördes vid en temperatur av 1873K och ett syrepartialtryck av 9.37·10-10atm. Den maximala lösligheten av vanadinoxid i slaggen var 9-10vikt% V2O3. Två fasta faser identifierades, V2O3 (Karelianit) med fast löslighet av Al2O3 och Hibonit med vanadinoxid inlöst i kristallstrukturen. Experimentella försök för att utvinna vanadin från en stålsmälta bestående av 1-10vikt% V och 1vikt% P till en slagg med en initial sammansättning av 7-40vikt% Al2O3, 25-35vikt% CaO och 27-64vikt% SiO2 utfördes i en skala av 150kg. Oxidation av vanadin åstadkoms genom att blåsa in CO2 gas i stålsmältan via en spolsten. Under dessa processförhållanden var oxidationen av vanadin gynnsam framför järn och fosfor. Lösligheten av vanadinoxid i slaggen var upp till 10-13vikt% V2O3. Slagg mättad med vanadinoxid var viskös som en konsekvens av utfällning av V2O3 med inlöst Al2O3. Slaggens gynnsamma vanadin och järn- samt vanadin och fosfor förhållande möjliggör att genom slutreduktion producera ferrovanadin med en vanadinhalt av 40-50vikt% och låg fosforhalt.<br><p>QC 20170912</p>

Abstract:
The effects from prenatal alcohol exposure have been found to cause a range of congenital physical and cognitive abnormalities (Chasnoff, Wells, Telford, Schmidt, & Messer, 2010; Kable & Coles, 2004a). The neurological impairments associated with the effects from prenatal alcohol exposure often cause learning problems, most notably in mathematics (Kable & Coles, 2004a; Howell et al., 2006). Studies have indicated that when provided instructional interventions in mathematics, children affected by prenatal alcohol exposure made gains in learning. However, the studies did not provide specifics as to how children with FAS construct the understanding of a skill or concept (Kable, Coles, & Taddeo, 2007; Coles, Kable, & Taddeo, 2009). This study contributes to the literature by examining how children affected by prenatal alcohol exposure learn the concept of equivalence through their use of gestures in contrast to their learning outcomes. Previous studies have shown that children’s use of gestures while learning mathematics assist with the integration of verbal and visual stimuli, support concept formation, and facilitate flexible encoding of problems (Goldin-Meadow, Cook, & Mitchell, 2009; McNeil & Alibali, 2004). The results from this study indicated that children in the Alcohol Exposed group showed little to no learning after the intervention as compared to a control group matched by age and IQ. The study showed that children affected by prenatal alcohol exposure used fewer conceptual gestures while learning equivalence as compared to a control group. According to the gesture analysis, the children in the Alcohol Exposed group mentally represented the concept of equivalence as a series of isolated steps or procedures. The procedural representation was not transitioned into a flexible conceptual format and applied to solve different problem types accurately (McNeil & Alibali, 2004). Future studies need to investigate whether teaching children affected by prenatal alcohol exposure to gesture during mathematics instruction would be effective to increase concept formation, accurate encoding, and learning mathematics<br>Inclusive Education<br>D.
