The leadership of many countries is seeking the way out of the global crisis by stimulating the development of science and education. It is expected of scientists and teams of educationists to create new solutions by means of which to tackle the problems of shaken existence within the layers of contemporary social reality. Accordingly, the area of mathematics occupies an important position in the national curricula. Therefore, upon entering the third millenium we considered the scope of mathe- matical competences of fifteen-year-olds at the international level (PISA1 research in 1999 and TIMSS2 research in 1995), as well as those of pupils in the fourth grade of primary school (TIMSS research in 1995). The PISA studies are conducted every three years and are sponsored by OECD3 in cooperation with participating countries. The research was founded with the goal of assessing the levels of education of fifteen-year-olds in developed industrial coun- tries. In 1999 the PISA research was conducted in 43 countries, whereas in 2005 it included sixty countries. Consequently, the number of participating countries keeps continually increasing. The research sample in each country involves 4500 to 10 000 pupils. Each pupil is required to take the written exam in the duration of two hours. One part of the exam is comprised of multiple choice questions, whereas the remaining part of the examination is composed of open-ended questions which demand independently constructed answers to specific questions. Furthermore, pupils are also requested to fill out a questionnaire on their learning habits, their motivation and their family. The most recent PISA study was conducted in 2011. The TIMSS project devised for mathematics and science subjects has been implemented worldwide since 1995 in 4-year cycles for pupils of the fourth grade and those of the final grades of primary school. The project additionally monitors the application of curricula and identifies the best examples of teaching practice around the world. The project leader is the International Association for the Evalua- tion of Educational Achievement IEA4. Accordingly, the Association encompasses institutions and agencies around the world who do research in evaluating pupils’ achievements. The headquarters of this institution are in Amsterdam. Moreover, the design and application od the TIMSS research also includes the participation of the TIMSS and PIRLS5 International Study Center at the Lynch School of Educa- tion at Boston College, with the samples from the participating countries structured, gathered and analysed by the IEA Data Processing Center, situated in Hamburg, as well as Statistics Canada: Canada’s national statistical agency, situated in Ottawa. Due to the fact that the TIMSS project is realised in 4-year cycles, the first study was conducted in 1995, followed by those in 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011. 1 PISA – Programme for International Student Assessment 2 TIMSS – Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 3 OECD – Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 4 IEA – International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement 5 PIRLS – Progress in International Reading Literacy Study Consequently, TIMSS 2011 included approximately 600 000 pupils aged 9–11 in 52 countries, and this has been so far the widest and very ambitious international study of measuring pupils’ achievements in mathematics and science in the domains of content and cognition with the purpose of improving learning and teaching of mathematics and natural sciences. The last study included, in addition to the pupils of the fourth grade of primary school, the pupils of the final (eighth and ninth) grade of primary school (aged 14–16) with reference to various content domains (Num- bers, Algebra, Geometric Objects and Measurements, and Data Presentation) and cognitive domains (Factual Knowledge, Application and Deduction). The research TIMSS 2011 was based on the mathematics and natural science curriculum, as well as the manner in which the mathematical and natural science contents are taught. The tested areas in natural science were biology, chemistry, physics and geography. The questions and tasks included in the tests varied from multiple choice questions to short answer or open-ended questions which required a pupil to solve a problem or explain their answer. TIMSS 2011 also included pupil, teacher and headmaster surveys on the con- ditions in which mathematics and science instruction is carried out. The obtained results included the information on the systems of education, curricula, teach- ing practice, characteristics of pupils, teachers and schools, which enable us to thoroughly observe the teaching and learning process within the mathematics and science instruction. All segments of the research were implemented in accord with the detailed instructions provided with the aim of achieving the highest possible level of standardized conditions in which the research is conducted. The universities and faculties which educate teachers of mathematics for teach- ing pupils/students of any age group from pre-school age to higher education care- fully monitor and compare valuable results of this research, detect the areas in which the mathematical achievements of pupils should be improved at the national level and propose the ways to improve the quality of education and achieve better learning outcomes. We deem particularly valuable contributions of the researchers regarding the samples of poorer mathematical achievements at the “local level” in neighbouring countries, as well as the presentation of examples of good practice by means of which we pave the path towards better achievements of pupils and, con- sequently, the improvement in the quality of teaching mathematics at the “local”, as well as the global level. This book contains the results of the research on teaching mathematics and examples of good practice provided by the scholars from the neighbouring coun- tries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Mathematics teachers and parents can use this book to find answers to specific questions connected to the understanding of contemporary trends and procedures in teaching mathematics in our sorroundings. In this manner we are contributing to the global efforts to improve the quality of teaching mathematics. Thus, we are also affecting better learning outcomes in the area of mathematics, and consequently upward moving trends in economy.

  • A Model of Inheritance for Declarative Visual Programming Languages
    An Abstract Of The Dissertation Of Rebecca Djang for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science presented on December 17, 1998. Title: Similarity Inheritance: A Model of Inheritance for Declarative Visual Programming Languages. Abstract approved: Margaret M. Burnett Declarative visual programming languages (VPLs), including spreadsheets, make up a large portion of both research and commercial VPLs. Spreadsheets in particular enjoy a wide audience, including end users. Unfortunately, spreadsheets and most other declarative VPLs still suffer from some of the problems that have been solved in other languages, such as ad-hoc (cut-and-paste) reuse of code which has been remedied in object-oriented languages, for example, through the code-reuse mechanism of inheritance. We believe spreadsheets and other declarative VPLs can benefit from the addition of an inheritance-like mechanism for fine-grained code reuse. This dissertation first examines the opportunities for supporting reuse inherent in declarative VPLs, and then introduces similarity inheritance and describes a prototype of this model in the research spreadsheet language Forms/3. Similarity inheritance is very flexible, allowing multiple granularities of code sharing and even mutual inheritance; it includes explicit representations of inherited code and all sharing relationships, and it subsumes the current spreadsheet mechanisms for formula propagation, providing a gradual migration from simple formula reuse to more sophisticated uses of inheritance among objects. Since the inheritance model separates inheritance from types, we investigate what notion of types is appropriate to support reuse of functions on different types (operation polymorphism). Because it is important to us that immediate feedback, which is characteristic of many VPLs, be preserved, including feedback with respect to type errors, we introduce a model of types suitable for static type inference in the presence of operation polymorphism with similarity inheritance.

Reality Television Goes Interactive Reality Television Goes Interactive: The Big Brother Television Audience Lisa Gandy Lisa McChristian Student Group Leader Student Group Leader Georgia College & State University Elon College Abstract Reality television was taken to a new realm in the summer of 2000. Television audiences and Internet audiences were married through a voyeuristic, interactive experience. This study attempted to better understand the audience attracted to these interactive, realistic tel­ evision shows. Utilizing previous studies on audience interactivity, a random telephone survey of Big Brother viewers was administered. Big Brother viewers that browsed the show's website before and after the show were demographically more likely to be younger, more educated, and own computers. Big Brother website visitors were significantly more likely to plan to watch the television show, eliminate distractions to that viewing and be more involved during the television show than non-Internet website users. Introduction This project attempted to learn more about the viewers and lev­ els of audience interactivity of the new, voyeuristic CBS television show Big Brother.

  • Dilemmas of Corpus Construction Beyond Folklore Collections: Threat As a Speech Act in Early Modern Witchcraft Trials
    Acta Ethnographica Hungarica 64(2), 483–506 (2019) DOI: 10.1556/022.2019.64.2.15 Dilemmas of Corpus Construction beyond Folklore Collections: Threat as a Speech Act in Early Modern Witchcraft Trials Emese Ilyefalvi Assistant Lecturer, Department of Folkloristics, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary Research Fellow, Institute of Ethnology, Research Centre for the Humanities, Hungary Abstract: During the corpus-building operation of the Digital Database of Hungarian Verbal Charms we tried to augment the available material by the inclusion of witness statements of witch trials conducted in early modern Bihar County and the town of Debrecen. My paper explores the kinds of dilemmas and issues we were faced with concentrating especially on generic questions of verbal charms. As regards the exploration of early modern written sources of vernacular language use the most relevant recent approaches came from historical speech act research. Therefore, in the context of the corpus building project I shall also discuss to which extends the results of historical pragmatics, historical speech act research can offer any help (and if so, what kind of help) in solving the generic problems and questions of verbal magic.1 Keywords: genres, historical pragmatics, speech acts, threatening, speech act theory, witch trials, early modern Hungary, digital databases INTRODUCTION In constructing the Digital Database of Hungarian Verbal Charms the primary goal of the “Vernacular religion on the boundary of Eastern and Western Christianity: continuity, changes and interactions” ERC research group2 was to render the verbal charm texts of earlier folklore collections and archives accessible to researchers in the form of a multi- 1 Financed from NRDI (National Research Development and Innovation Office) Fund, project number 132535, project title: “Folk belief, vernacular religion, mentality, 16th–21st centuries: digital databases, encyclopedic summaries”.
