Language Creativity in Presenting Hindu Religion Material

Teachers are required to be creative in packaging learning activities in various ways. One of the creativity carried out by prospective teaching students is modifying familiar songs into songs containing learning material about Hindu religion. Therefore, it is important to conduct this research to describe language creativity in presenting Hindu religious material and the obstacles faced in modifying songs. Creativity in presenting material is very important in order to achieve effective communication in learning activities. This research is classified as qualitative research with an empirical approach. This research was carried out by collecting a number of songs containing Hindu Religious Education material developed by students of the Pendidikan Agama Hindu Study Program, STKIP Agama Hindu Amlapura in classroom management practices and interviewing students regarding the difficulties or obstacles experienced when being creative in modifying songs so that they contain Hindu religious material. The results of this research show that there are several songs that students tend to create and modify in classroom management, namely children's songs whose rhythms are very familiar, such as the songs Balonku, Pelangi-Pelangi, Lihat kebunku, Naik Becak, Satu-Satu Aku sayang Ibu. From the rhythm of these songs, they were modified into songs containing Hindu religious material, namely Panca Yadnya, Panca Sraddha, Tri Pramana, Three Basic Frameworks of Hindu Religion, Tri Kaya Parisudha, Holy Books and Holy Places Hindu religion. When carrying out this creativity, students also experience various difficulties or obstacles, such as using diction, adjusting rhythm, packaging material, and limitations for complex material.

Embracing hybridity: the affordances of arts-based research for the professional doctorate in education

ABSTRACT Despite the growth of the professional doctorate in education (EdD), its potential for capturing practice is restricted by academic tradition. In this hybrid paper, we argue that arts-based research (ABR) can help rectify this. We bookend the paper with creative non-fiction of our own EdD experiences, where ABR is restricted and afforded. We develop our argument through a position paper mapping the theoretical similarities of the EdD and ABR. We then undertake a scoping review identifying existing research into ABR on EdD programmes. We analyse six articles using the 5A’s theory of creativity [Glăveanu 2013. Rewriting the language of creativity: The Five A's framework. Review of General Psychology 17, no. 1: 69–81] to see how these theoretical similarities are afforded. Using ABR on the EdD promotes reflexivity and co-creation, impacting upon diverse audiences. We conclude with a challenge for further research into ABR on EdD programmes through hybrid research.

DİLÇİLİK NƏZƏRİYYƏSİNİN İNKİŞAF TARİXİ

History of the Development of the Theory of Linguistics Summary The origin and development history of linguistic theory is reflected in the article. Here is also brief information about the emergence of linguistics and schools of linguistics since ancient times. The history of linguistics has developed through historical stages such as Indian linguistics, Greek linguistics, Roman linguistics, and Arabic linguistics until modern times. Linguistics examines and studies all parts of language, including its units, nature, structure, and change over time. This term was first used in 1829. In general, linguistics studies language and means of communication between people. The theoretical part of this field includes very important and diverse concepts that answer questions such as the origin and purpose of language creation, language characteristics, the process of language learning, language changes, and the role of language in human personality. In the practical part, the analysis of sentence structure, the role of words, semantics, the formation of sounds, language disorders, etc. is being investigated. Key words: history of linguistics, science of linguistics, Indian linguistics, Greek linguistics, Roman linguistics, historical linguistics, applied linguistics

World‐Making Through a Feminist Abolitionist Lens in a STEAM Middle School Program

ABSTRACTThe maker movement propagated throughout educational spaces alongside promises that technological and design literacies could be harnessed to shape equitable social futures. However, researchers have highlighted the ways makerspaces can reinforce hierarchies of race, gender, and class. This paper builds on research that seeks to support girls' making through broader sociopolitical and ethical commitments. We consider what an everyday pedagogy of feminist abolition looked like in a makerspace, with a focus on how educators responded to emergent social needs within and across gender lines. Our data sources (extensive field notes, audio–video recordings, photographs, and student interviews) are drawn from Hubspace, a 6‐week summer program serving Black, Latine/x, and South Asian middle school youth and grounded in expansive forms of storytelling, coding, engineering, music, writing, and art. In closely analyzing routine forms of educator reflection alongside the design decisions, pedagogical moves and forms of student sense‐making they supported, we found that student and educator sociopolitical learning emerged together to build what became possible in the culture of the space over time. Across three cases, we show how such pedagogies offered lived models and creative languages for practicing restorative and just social relationships. Each of the cases tell the story of different moments when gender became important to the ways participants were working to recognize and desettle received terms of thought and generate alternate forms of thinking, living, and relating, or the making of new stories and worlds.

Domain-Driven Design (DDD)- Bridging the Gap between Business Requirements and Object-Oriented Modeling

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) has emerged as a powerful methodology for developing complex software systems by emphasizing a deep understanding of the business domain. By bridging the gap between business requirements and object-oriented modeling, DDD enables developers to create software solutions that are not only aligned with business needs but also maintainable, adaptable, and scalable. This research paper explores the principles, practices, and benefits of DDD, illustrating its effectiveness through case studies and examples. We discuss how DDD fosters collaboration between domain experts and developers, encourages the creation of a ubiquitous language, and enables the modeling of complex domains through bounded contexts, aggregates, and domain events. Additionally, we examine the role of strategic design in DDD, including context mapping, bounded context, and the use of tactical patterns such as entities, value objects, and repositories. Through this comprehensive analysis, we demonstrate how DDD serves as a bridge between business requirements and object-oriented modeling, facilitating the development of software systems that are both technically sound and aligned with the needs of the business.

Open strategizing for developing smart city food system: Stakeholder inclusion in practice

The positive impact of stakeholder engagement (SE) in smart city development initiatives has received notable scholarly attention over the past decade. Researchers of stakeholder engagement have investigated various aspects of the engagement process from different theoretical perspectives, yet the complexity and dynamism of inclusion, especially at the societal level and in the context of smart city development, continue to inspire more research. Drawing from the intersection of open strategy (OS) and SE, we seek to enhance understanding of the open strategizing process by elucidating stakeholder inclusion practices in a smart city initiative, focusing on food systems in Da Nang, Vietnam. Our participatory action research draws on 114 semi-structured interviews and four stakeholder workshops to analyze the way stakeholder inclusion practices unfold in the strategic decision-making process of a smart city initiative. Our analysis reveals that stakeholder inclusion is complex and involves four interdependent practices at different stages of the strategizing process. These practices are trust formation, common language creation, role transformation, and expectation alignment. Together, they culminate in the creation of an interactive social space for the strategy-making process. The proposed analytical framework highlights the interdependencies among practices and their outcomes at different stages of the open strategizing process and could serve as a guideline in a context in which stakeholder inclusion at the planning phase is necessary to achieve systemic change.

Strategies employed in learning English and other foreign languages: a case study of Indonesian polyglots

ABSTRACT Despite the existence of many studies on language learning strategies (LLS), little scholarly work reports the LLS used by multilingual foreign language learners. To fill this empirical gap, the present qualitative case study investigates how polyglots employed their strategies over their path of learning multiple foreign languages. We collected data through demographic questionnaires and semi-structured interviews obtained from seven Indonesian polyglots. The novelty of this research concerns the in-depth information about multiple language learning from participants who are able to use various foreign languages; in fact, some of the languages they mastered are less commonly taught and spoken in Indonesia. Findings showed that the language learning strategies employed were initiating practice, learning by enjoying, employing creative language engagement strategies, disciplined learning, and connecting with other language learners. The findings of this study also suggest that language learners can either adopt or adapt to the way polyglots learn foreign languages.

Языковая игра в ментальных пространствах произведений детской литературы

The aim of the presented study is to define the specifics of applying constructive principles and techniques of language game in modeling mental spaces in children's literature works. The research novelty lies in identifying the potential of language game in modeling denotative spaces of literary texts for children, particularly in creating occasional onyms and toponyms, modeling children's speech, including through the imitation of unintentional word formation in children's language. Language game is viewed not only as a means of modeling mental spaces but also as a tool to immerse a child into the system of language, introduce them to the laws of artistic texts, engage in linguistic creative activities, provoke children to engage in independent language creation, and linguistic experiments. The obtained results have shown that using language game techniques in creating mental spaces in children's literature serves both as a means of expressing the author's intention and as a method of creatively exploring children's language consciousness and mentality.

Artificial language creation as a tool for assessing children’s metalinguistic abilities

The author aims to analyse two projects of the artificial language Uniling. They were created by students of years 5 to 11 within the linguistic framework of the "Formula de Integreco" training camp in June 2017 and January 2018. The research methods included structural analysis of the artificial language, as well as its creation process in comparison with Russian, i. e. the native language for all participants in the experiment. Research results: the specific conditions for artificial language development enable us to trace the stages of its accelerated "evolution" and complexity buildup at all levels. The latter becomes possible by shifting the initial focus away from observing the economy principle in language and raising randomly occurring exceptions to the status of a rule. Such rules are further extrapolated to other same-level units of the artificial language. This indicates that children attach importance to the concept of linguistic norm, as well as the possibility of clear grammatical differentiation when the grammatical meaning is secondary relative to the lexical-conceptual one. Children give no less significance to the inner form of words, which makes it possible to create lexemes employing the means of the artificial language itself without relying on the material of natural substrate languages. Moreover, the inner form helps to outline the systemic connections within the thematic groups. However, the hypernym/hyponym relations are obviously weak as generic concepts are not found in the Uniling lexis. At the same time, the aesthetics and euphony notions often come to the fore, which is reflected in the expression plane of artificial language lexemes and in the idea of the pragmatic potential of the language. This is most clearly seen at the syntax level due to the introduction of particular semantic role markers not typical of the Russian language (benefactives and malefactives). Conclusions: artificial language analysis enables us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of children’s metalinguistic representations, which can be considered in the process of teaching Russian at school.

Creative programming in architecture: a computational thinking approach

The creative programming language Processing can be used as a generative architectural design tool, which allows the designer to write design instructions (algorithms) and compute them, obtaining graphical outputs of great interest. This contribution addresses the inclusion of this language in the architecture curriculum, within the context of digital culture and alternative approaches to how digital tools are used and learned. It studies the different processes related to Computational Thinking that are triggered in the prototyping of computer applications and that lead to creativity. The similarity between architectural design and programming is analysed, both in problem solving (abstraction, decomposition, iterative revisions -debugging-, etc.) and in the use of mechanisms of a digital nature (loops, randomness, etc.). The results of the design and testing of a pilot course are shown, in which the way of teaching, learning and using this programming language is based on the graphical representation of problems through sketches.

The significant object: The artistic imaginary of Madeira Island embroidery

In this article, I reflect on the way in which the memory of the disappearance of embroidery – as a manufacturing activity and, as a consequence, as the genus of social fabric and socio-economic relations – fosters the construction of a local identity and feeds the creation of a new symbolic language. I analyse how the division between the ‘traditional’ and the ‘contemporary’ is the result of a western culture that creates a sharp divide in time wherein everything that precedes it is in the past, and therefore fixed. Following this line of thought, craftsmanship has been associated with the traditional (i.e. unchanging), and art or design with the contemporary. By mapping the evolution of the Madeiran embroidery imaginary, I argue that this division is a historical construct. Seeing the embroidery as both an art and a craft enables a process of reinterpretation and invention, which enhances the creation of new imaginaries and alternative futures.

О научно-методических подходах к комментированию закона (из истории Института законодательства и сравнительного правоведения при Правительстве Российской Федерации)

Purpose. Determination of approaches towards preparation of a scientific law commentary on the example of preparation of a commentary on the Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1960 by the All-Union Institute of Legal Sciences. Characteristics of scientific ideas on such commenting expressed during the speech and discussion at the meeting of the academic council of the All-Union Institute of Legal Sciences on December 26, 1960. Methodology: dialectics, hermeneutics, synergetics, philosophical conceptology. Conclusions. Some scientific ideas on preparation of a scientific commentary on criminal law are still relevant today: determination of the commentary purpose; shifting away from expressing a subjective point of view; creation of the conceptual law enforcement language, etc. Scientific and practical relevance. Scientific approaches towards preparation of a commentary on law and, in particular, a commentary on the Criminal Code are rarely a subject of a scientific discussion, yet, they need to be understood. A good illustration is the discussion of the matters of preparation of a commentary on the Criminal Code of the RSFSR of 1960 that took place at the meeting of the academic council of the All-Union Institute of Legal Sciences, now the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, that celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2023.

Finding constraints to foster creativity in language learning tasks: An autoethnographic approach

AbstractTeachers often repeat language learning tasks and materials with students year after year. Although some tasks do not render satisfactory outcomes, students' performances can serve as valuable historical autoethnographic data that teachers can reflect on to improve their teaching materials and language learning tasks. In this article, using autoethnography as a pedagogical tool, I share my thinking and experiences regarding one task type (the simile task), which I have used with students over the years to develop creative language use (language creativity). I reflect on various similes produced and attempt to discover how to redesign the somewhat imperfect task to optimize creative language use. In particular, I try to find new constraints that can be set up to funnel the creative behaviour of the teacher and students. Before promoting students' creativity, teachers must nurture their creativity under various self‐imposed constraints. Teachers' personal experience is a valuable source when implementing creative language teaching. This article shows two task constraints that can be set up to stimulate creativity in language learning tasks: exclusionary constraints (avoiding confirmation‐based salient patterns) and focusing constraints (requiring the use of violation‐based salient patterns). It also shows how we can identify micro‐constraints to be excluded or focused on.

Ironic Practices as Pedagogical Tools for Accomplishing Italo Calvino’s Lightness

This essay begins with the premise that Italo Calvino’s Memos serve as a fundamentally educational proposition. Each of his lectures can be regarded as a substantive proposal, encouraging a revaluation of our contemporary world through unconventional forms of knowledge, especially considering the challenges posed by the new millennium. The essay’s central objective is to further the intellectual movement initiated by Calvino, but with a specific focus on theorizing education. It aims not to simply apply Calvino’s principles and insights to education or provide a pedagogical analysis but rather to actively engage with them, fostering educational-philosophical reflections centred around the concept of “lightness”, as identified by the Italian writer. Key questions emerge from this exploration: How can “lightness” be considered an educational quality? Can it serve as a valuable guide for navigating the complexities of contemporary education? Can the notion of “lightness” inspire the creation of new pedagogical languages that resist the instrumentalizing tendencies in education? The essay proceeds to elucidate Calvino’s primary theses on “lightness” while also examining the potential for a productive dialogue between Calvino and Richard Rorty’s ideas on irony, both in public and private dimensions. It illustrates how ironic practices, such as sarcasm, satire, and wit, conveyed through artistic expressions, can embody the essence of “lightness” that Calvino encourages. Ultimately, the essay concludes by reflecting on the pedagogical implications of embracing “lightness” in education, particularly in the affirmative/post-critical and Arendtian sense, as a means of bequeathing a world that genuinely belongs to future generations.

The Textual Component Based on Chomsky's Structure and Halliday's Consistency: “The Land” Poem by Mahmoud Darwish as a Model

This study aims to explore the elements of consistency and harmony in the poem The Land by Mahmoud Darwish. The major components of textual grammar are examined, highlighting the creativity of language in producing endless sentences. It essentially deals with the compositional structures and the elements of their formation at both the surface and deep structures. The descriptive and analytical approach is adopted to achieve the purposes of the study. The results show that the factors of dispersion, discontinuity, and anxiety help to achieve the elements of consistency and harmony. Such factors are shown to generate poetic connotations as well as the textual balance between motives and goals on the one hand and aesthetic meanings on the other.

¿Retorno al espectáculo? Anotaciones sobre el proceso de cambio en la “danza mexicana”: el caso de la Escuela Nacional de Danza, 1932-1947

Much of the historiography of dance in Mexico has pointed out that the dance production of the Escuela de Danza (ED), attached to the Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP), lost relevance in the face of the onslaught of new cultural projects privileged by the Mexican state since the late 1930s, all aimed at building "Mexican dance" in artistic terms. The aim of this article is to propose an initial approach to the dynamics of the scenic creation of the DE -the Escuela Nacional de Danza (END) since 1938- in terms of the dance of the spectacle. This perspective can open new questions to deepen the study of this institution and contribute to the analysis of the field of dance in Mexico. First, I offer some important notes on "Mexican dance" and the dance of the spectacle in Mexico. Next, I address the case of the ED, from its foundation in 1932 until 1947, the year in which the Academia de la Danza Mexicana (ADM) was created, replacing it as the leading institution in the creation of the national dance language. At this point, I point out elements that allow me to propose the process of returning to the logic of the spectacle, from the incorporation of its production into the tourism promotion plan of the government of Manuel Avila Camacho.
