Knowledge subject

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to conduct an exploratory study that proposes a personalized knowledge integration platform for digital libraries which can provide users with personalized information and knowledge services. Design/methodology/approach – A prototype system (PIKIPDL) is designed and developed with two types of service, i.e. personalized information/knowledge service and personalized subject category service. Evaluation of the PIKIPDL by domain specialists and software experts is conducted. Comments are implications are addressed. Findings – The main findings include the following: the proposed system can help suggest materials that readers are interested in for DL; the proposed system can help construct knowledge contents in a hierarchical structure; and a common recommendation concerning knowledge structure from the reviewers is that the proposed system should add a self‐organizing knowledge map function that would allow users to view knowledge subjects in a graphic manner. Practical implications – The results from the evaluation of reviewers revealed that the proposed PIKIPDL is acceptable to the integration of both personalized information service and personalized knowledge subject service. This implies that librarians and DL software agents should place emphasis on integrated service development to attract the attention of their users. Towards this goal, they could explain that personalized services (e.g. material recommendation, message recommendation, knowledge subject materials) with a mechanism of multi‐resource integration can help provide DL resources according to users' needs and wants, and in consequence to enhance DL service efficacy. Originality/value – The research describes the importance of information/knowledge integration with respect to its support on the learning and study methods of users, and has developed a personalized knowledge integration platform as a mechanism that provides a personalized information service and a personalized knowledge subject category service. By employing Apriori algorithm and association rules as the data mining mechanism, personalized information recommendations are derived from circulation data, and a knowledge subject category is integrated from online sharing knowledge by participants.

Abstract: Disaster education is an essential part of disaster mitigation steps in shaping character and building a culture of disaster preparedness. Knowledge on Disaster and Environmental (PKL) is a general course taught at the Undergraduate level at Syiah Kuala University. This research and development aim to produce valid, effective, and practical modules for PKL. The research and development model used in this study is an adaptation of the research and development steps proposed by Borg & Gall, and the learning design model used in the initial product planning stage adapting the model proposed by Dick & Carey. Expert validation and student readability test were followed to confirm the quality of the module. Three expert validators were involved, and 24 students were enrolled in several questionnaire-based approach of their perspective to the pre-and post-revision product module. The results of this study created a PKL learning module that has valid value (score 4.01-4.33), and the average results on the student readability test were in the good category (score 4.13-4.56). The final product that has been revised according to input and suggestions from the validator has the quality for exemplary utilization.

Abstract: This article presents some results obtained thanks to the observation of classroom practices carried out in a specialized establishment: the COREM 1 . Making certain effects of the didactical contract evident made it possible to predict and follow for 25 years the development of an uncontrollable phe- nomenon unleashed by massive direct evaluation. But naive observation itself also played an important role in this process of degradation in teaching conditions. Inspired by the example of the COREM, this text prepares the introduction of a genuine deontology of classroom observation. I. A specialized institution for observation: the COREM a) The COREM was an institution created to permit mathematicians to carry out different sorts of system- atic and sustained observations. It was made up of three contractual entities: a research laboratory, a tech- nical team and a whole school (14 classes) with an adapted status. The school was the complete system of optimal size to be created and stabilized. In order for the school to function correctly and naturally in spite of a heavy load of arrangements for observation it was necessary on the one hand to establish and regulate its relationship with its environment and on the other to neutralize the internal effects of the special ar- rangements designed to make the characteristics of its real functioning apparent. (Salin & Greslard, 1998). The situation for observing was conceived on the same theoretical model as the mathematical situations proposed for the students (Brousseau, 1978). It aimed to permit observers to pick out behaviors while influencing them as little as possible, but above all it aimed to make it necessary on their part to produce didactical knowledge subject to a pragmatic restriction for a short term on the part of the system observed.

Abstract: A case study on the production of aged cheese is presented in the municipality of Zacazonapan, State of Mexico, from the perspective of Bessiere (1998) and Espeitx (2008) on the activation of intangible cultural heritage in the context of rural tourism. The production of the mature cheese is traditional, 150 years of being carried out, in this municipality, but at the moment its continuity is at risk. The producers are older women and young people are not interested in maintaining this activity. The objective was to develop a patrimonialisation proposal for the aged cheese that allows to relaunch this productive activity, which represents a contribution not only to the family economy but local and regional. For this, a survey was carried out, based on a sampling by clusters (Bolanos, 2012: 14-18). At the same time, an inventory of the tourist resources of Zacazonapan was elaborated and the hierarchy and analysis of resources were carried out in terms of their tourist potential. The proposal of a route of the aged cheese is proposed and its viability is analyzed; it is concluded that there are conditions for the success of the proposal, since cheese production is part of the customs, traditions and life forms of the population according to 97% of the respondents. Where know-how is linked to cheese production and is mainly due to the accumulation of knowledge subject to the production of the product.
