  • Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: the German Initiative in the 1950S1 Alston Kennerley
    Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: The German Initiative in the 1950s1 Alston Kennerley Tout au long du 20ème siècle la pertinence de l'expérience pratique dans les navires hauturiers à voile carrée avec de futures carrières de marin dans les navires motorisés a été discutée et remise en cause. Il restent aujourd'hui des pays qui fournissent une telle expérience pour des officiers stagiaires, et il y a un soutien mondial pour donner de l'expérience de la voile aux jeunes dans le cadre du développement caractériel indépendamment du futur métier. La discussion ici se concentre sur l'initiative allemande des années 50, en recherchant des avis personnels au sujet du contexte et du but opérationnel, par le moyen de questionnaires sur l'expérience personnelle de la voile et du métier de marin qui a pu suivre. Les résultats prouvent que les répondants étaient généralement favorables à la possibilité de formation en termes de la gamme étendue des qualifications personnelles engendrées, et que le coût et l'effort sont valables. The history of merchant seafarer training is probably almost as old as deep sea seafaring itself. It can certainly be identified from medieval times, at least in Britain through the adoption of craft guild progression structures: apprenticeship, journeyman craftsman (mate), master craftsman. In British seafaring two levels of apprenticeship evolved: seaman apprenticeship and officer apprenticeship. With the opening of the oceans in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, educational dimensions, especially navigation, began to be taught ashore as well as at sea, to those destined for command. Until well into the nineteenth century, skills aspects, grouped under the term seamanship, were always learned or taught through example and experience aboard ships engaged in commercial trading.

DESCRIPTORS Elementary Education; Inservice Teacher Education; Program Effectiveness; *Reading Instruction; Reading Research; *Teacher Attitudes; *Teacher Response; Teaching Methods; Teaching Styles IDENTIFIERS *Transactional Strategies Instruction ABSTRACT Two studies examined seven teachers' acceptance of a strategies-based approach to reading instruction during their first year of using the intervention. Interviews andobservations revealed that the intervention, a long-term transactional strategies instruction program called SAIL (Students Achieving Independent Learning), was fully acceptable to only two of the seven teachers. Issues that influenced acceptability included professional development support and teacher choice. Recommendations that could lead to greater acceptance of transactional strategies instruction by teachers using it for the first time are offered. Briefly, teachers need: several years of professional development; a safe, supportive school environment; explanations and modeling of what good strategy teachers do; and encouragement

  • Learning the Hand-Drill Method of Fire-By-Friction
    Learning the Hand-Drill Method for Fire-by-Friction by Kato Haws Friction fires are not very practical, but they can be fun. The hand-drill method is less technical than the bow-drill method. You can learn to do it. The following are some ideas of how to proceed: Cut a 3/8” dry horseweed stalk about 24” long for your spindle, and check to see if it is straight. (Horseweed is very wide spread. See Wikipedia for pictures of horseweed). If necessary straighten the spindle using a heat source. Heat it, bend it, remove it from the heat source, and hold it straight as it cools. It is important to have a straight spindle. It is possible to find horseweed stalks that are straight, it just takes more looking. Cut or split a baseboard of white cedar fencing (no hole cedar) from the lumberyard about 11” long and 3/8” thick. I personally mark the board with a straight edge and a pencil and then cut it with a saber saw, but many methods can be used. A table saw would be ideal if you have one and know how to use it properly. Using a knife make a 3/8” dimple about an inch from the end of the baseboard. Spin the spindle in the dimple to seat it in. You don’t have to get actual smoke at this point. The main thing is to make sure exactly the spindle wants to spin before proceeding. Cut an inverted “V” from the edge of the baseboard toward the center of the dimple.

  • Comparing Sail Training and Landbased Youth Development Activities: a Pilot Study Luke Mccarthy and Ben Kotzee
    Comparing sail training and landbased youth development activities: a pilot study Luke McCarthy and Ben Kotzee Introduction The value of adventure and experience of the outdoors to education and general personal development has long been stressed, with some authors tracing the idea as far as Homer and Plato (Hattie et al, 1987: 43). A more obvious history of adventure education can be traced from the Victorian era – with its romantic idealisation of the experience of nature (Hopkins and Putnam, 1993: 4) – to today. Whilst some of the effect of outdoor or adventure education programmes may lie in the positive impact of such programmes on physical fitness, experiencing the outdoors environment was seen (by both classical and Victorian authors) as an important factor in general social development. This view has been supported since from the 1960s onwards through a number of empirical studies that seek to justify the effectiveness of such programmes and that sketch exactly what the benefits of such programmes are (Ewert, 1987: 14). Using ships and the sea in adventure education also has a history that can be traced back to the mid-19th century (McCulluch, 2002: 70). By the mid-20th century “sail- training” had become more formalised, with, for instance, the establishment of the (UK) Sail Training Association (now the Tall Ships Youth Trust) and the International Sail Training Association (both in 1956). Today, there are more than 30 organisations in the UK alone providing sail training on more than 50 craft. The primary purpose of these organisations is not necessarily to teach young people to sail, but rather to develop life skills more generally through involvement with sailing.

  • Eugenics and Domestic Science in the 1924 Sociological Survey of White Women in North Queensland
    This file is part of the following reference: Colclough, Gillian (2008) The measure of the woman : eugenics and domestic science in the 1924 sociological survey of white women in North Queensland. PhD thesis, James Cook University. Access to this file is available from: http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/5266 THE MEASURE OF THE WOMAN: EUGENICS AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE IN THE 1924 SOCIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF WHITE WOMEN IN NORTH QUEENSLAND Thesis submitted by Gillian Beth COLCLOUGH, BA (Hons) WA on February 11 2008 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Arts and Social Sciences James Cook University Abstract This thesis considers experiences of white women in Queensland‟s north in the early years of „white‟ Australia, in this case from Federation until the late 1920s. Because of government and health authority interest in determining issues that might influence the health and well-being of white northern women, and hence their families and a future white labour force, in 1924 the Institute of Tropical Medicine conducted a comprehensive Sociological Survey of White Women in selected northern towns. Designed to address and resolve concerns of government and medical authorities with anxieties about sanitation, hygiene and eugenic wellbeing, the Survey used domestic science criteria to measure the health knowledge of its subjects: in so doing, it gathered detailed information about their lives. Guided by the Survey assessment categories, together with local and overseas literature on racial ideas, the thesis examines salient social and scientific concerns about white women in Queensland‟s tropical north and in white-dominated societies elsewhere and considers them against the oral reminiscences of women who recalled their lives in the North for the North Queensland Oral History Project.
