The complexity of knowledge construction in a classroom setting
2018
International audience; We study a class of mathematics education MA students in an introductory course on Chaos and Fractals, as they grapple with the Sierpinksi triangle, and in particular with the apparent paradox that its area equals 0, while its perimeter is infinitely long. For this purpose, we network an approach for investigating the construction of knowledge in small groups with one for examining how ideas and ways of reasoning function-as-if-shared in a classroom. Our results show complexities: (i) small group work and whole class discussions mutually influence each other; (ii) ideas may function-as-if-shared in the whole class even if the majority of students have not previously …
Analysis and synthesis with a three-component inferential system : Augmenting the explanatory scope of Conceptual Spaces
2017
The study introduces a model of analysis and synthesis, respective abductive and deductive reasoning, using the three-component inferential system, which is constituted by a perspective-relative augmentation of Gärdenfors’s theory of Conceptual Spaces (CS). A general formulation of Perspective, based on our earlier work, corresponds to prioritization among property dimensions. Instead of assuming one conceptual space as in the CS, a distinction is made between the high-dimensional description of the discourse/domain termed Ontospace, and the two-dimensional perspectival space onto which a Perspectiverelative hierarchical conceptualization is projected, referred to as the Perspectival Space.…
The muqarnas ceiling of the Palatina Chapel in Palermo
2018
St. Peter’s Basilica inside the Royal Palace of Palermo, known as the Palatina Chapel, is one of the most popular medieval monuments in Sicily. Built between 1130 and 1163, it contains interesting wooden framings that represent both bearing and finishing structures. Studies about the Arab-Norman church have often concentrated on the very rich and suggestive decorative mosaic apparatus of walls and floorings, as well as the pictorial cycle of wooden ceilings. Knowledge about the constructive techniques adopted and, in particular, about the realization of the coverings, is very limited: there are wooden floors built at different levels, vaults and wooden ceilings and among these is the portio…

The feasibility of working memory tablet tasks in predicting scholastic skills in classroom settings
2019
Cognitive assessment in natural group settings facilitates data collection but poses threats to the validity. In this study, tablet‐based working memory (WM) tasks, the counting span, and reading span were used in predicting 12‐year‐old children's (N = 837) scholastic skills and fluid intelligence in a classroom with environmental noise. WM tasks had excellent internal consistency, correlated with scholastic skills, and accounted for more of the variance in cognitive performance (grade point average, fluid intelligence, scholastic skills) compared with individually administered (n = 190) digit span task. Furthermore, the multilevel analysis revealed that compared with the classrooms with no…
Ocena działalności Trybunału Konstytucyjnego
2019
Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę opisu funkcjonowania Trybunału Konstytucyjnego w Polsce oraz ocenę tej działalności przez społeczeństwo. Przedstawiono pokrótce charakterystykę powołania do życia tego organu w Polsce, a następnie zaprezentowano jego podstawowe kompetencje. Opisano także skład i organy Trybunału. W ostatniej części skupiono się na analizie oceny Trybunału Konstytucyjnego przez Polaków w ostatnich 17 latach, od samego początku przeprowadzania badań na ten temat. Trybunał nigdy nie cieszył się nadmiernym zaufaniem wśród polskiego społeczeństwa, co pokazuje jak wiele pracy organ ten musi wykonać, aby przekonać do siebie Polaków (choćby tych, którzy w swej ocenie są niezdecydowan…
The use and abuse of parliamentary concepts in Hungarian parliamentary debates, 1920–27
2020
During and after the First World War, discourses calling for constitutional reform pervaded Europe. The break-up of the continental empires, the emergence of the new nation-states, and the western calls for democratization collectively gave rise to transnational debates about parliamentarization and parliamentary government. However, in the diverse and contingent post-war political environment, at the same time these ideals were given profoundly nation-specific meanings. They were implemented in the process of nation-building in equally diverse national contexts. This article analyses the use and abuse of the parliamentary concepts and their vernacular redescriptions in Hungarian parliament…
