The Study of Man. By Michael Polanyi. Price, $1.75. Pp. 102. University of Chicago Press, 5750 Ellis Ave., Chicago 37, 1959. One subtitle to Polanyi's challenging and fascinating book might be The Evolution and Natural History of Error , for Polanyi is at pains to expunge what he believes to be the false notion contained in the contemporary view of science which treats it as an object and basically impersonal discipline. According to Polanyi not only is this a radical and important error, but it is harmful to the objectives of science itself. Another subtitle could be Farewell to Detachment , for in place of cold objectivity he develops the idea that science is necessarily intensely personal. It is a human endeavor and human point of view which cannot be divorced from nor uprooted out of the human matrix from which it arises and in which it works. For a good while

Models of Working Memory: Mechanisms of Active Maintenance and Executive Control

Objective knowledge: an evolutionary approach

In this paper, we challenge the universality of three basic assumptions prevalent in organizational decision support and strategy: assumptions of order, of rational choice, and of intent. We describe the Cynefin framework, a sense-making device we have developed to help people make sense of the complexities made visible by the relaxation of these assumptions. The Cynefin framework is derived from several years of action research into the use of narrative and complexity theory in organizational knowledge exchange, decision-making, strategy, and policy-making. The framework is explained, its conceptual underpinnings are outlined, and its use in group sense-making and discourse is described. Finally, the consequences of relaxing the three basic assumptions, using the Cynefin framework as a mechanism, are considered.

The new dynamics of strategy: Sense-making in a complex and complicated world

Few developments in the intellectual life of the past quarter-century have provoked more controversy than the attempt to engineer humanlike intelligence by artificial means. Born of computer science, this effort has sparked a continuing debate among the psychologists, neuroscientists, philosophers, and linguists who have pioneered - and criticized - Artificial Intelligence. Are there general principles, as some computer scientists had originally hoped, that would fully describe the activity of both animal and machine minds, just as aerodynamics accounts for the flight of birds and airplanes? Twenty leading researchers address this and other vexing questions in the fields that make up cognitive science.

Speaking minds: interviews with twenty eminent cognitive scientists

E-Portfolios are a new type of software and it is still relatively vague to determine, which functions are obligatory â?? that is which functions constitute characteristic features â?? and which functions are just optional (â??nice to haveâ??). This article describes the concept and the preliminary results of a research project which was conducted to evaluate E-Portfolio software, and aims at providing decision guidance for implementing E-Portfolios in higher education - first and foremost from the pedagogical perspective. Which recommendations can be made to an institution which now wants to implement electronic portfolios with a certain objective?

Evaluation of E-Portfolio Software

This paper outlines three prototypical modes of teaching and learning and their consequences for the design of eLearning environments. I distinguish between transfer of knowledge (mode I), acquisition of knowledge (mode II) and construction of knowledge (mode III). Based on this theoretical framework I will develop the notion of “educational scenarios” and integrate this concept into a three level perspective: scenarios – interactions patterns – usage of tools.

The Zen Art of teaching – Communication and Interactions in eEducation

In zunehmendem Maße wird der Computer für Lehrund Lernzwecke eingesetzt, sodaß sich die Frage nach einer pädagogischen Evaluierung von Bildungssoftware immer dringlicher stellt. Ich beschränke mich in diesem Beitrag auf die didaktische Komponente, obwohl mir selbstverständlich bewußt ist, daß auch Gesichtspunkte der Informatik wie Robustheit, Fehlerfreiheit usw. ebenso wie programmtechnische Standards Einfluß auf die pädagogische Qualität von Software haben.

Didaktische Anforderungen an (multimediale) Lernsoftware

Der vorliegende Beitrag greift den Widerspruch zwischen Wiederverwendbarkeit von Lernobjekten und padagogischer Flexibilitat bzw. Didaktik auf und versucht einen Losungsvorschlag fur dieses Dilemma zu entwickeln. (DIPF/Orig.)
