The growing number of alternative schools seems to correlate with the mounting population of disenfranchised students. The higher the number of disenfranchised students, the more alternative schools are being built. This correlation may be caused by social, economic, and political issues that bring about pervasive social injustice, which reinforces the cycle of educational inequality. In this qualitative study, the authors examined 1 alternative high school from a critical perspective to determi

Directional attraction with lateral repulsion between colloidal nanoparticles can create their supracolloidal chains. Here, we demonstrate supracolloidal polymers of diblock copolymer micelles, which were polymerized by adjusting the polarity of the solvent. We also synthesized supracolloidal random and block copolymer chains.

Although there are many alternative schools that strive for the successful education of their students, negative images of alternative schools persist. While some alternative schools are viewed as ‘idealistic havens’, many are viewed as ‘dumping grounds’ or ‘juvenile detention centers’. Employing narrative inquiry, this article interrogates how a student, Kevin Gonzales, experiences his alternative education and raises questions about the role of alternative schools. Kevin Gonzales’s story is pr

This article is a study of conflicting voices inside an alternative high school in Arizona. Voices of alternative schools are, quite often, not included in the discourse of curriculum reform even though the number of alternative schools is growing every year. Bakhtinian novelness of polyphony, chronotope, and carnival are incorporated into an arts-based,storied form of representation to provoke empathic understanding among readers. Multiple voices (polyphony) of the school are juxtaposed within

연구배경: 우리나라에서 인구의 고령화 현상이 점차 심각해짐에 따라 신체장애를 동반하지 않은 활동적인 노인 혹은건강한 노화에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 방법: 본 연구는 성남시 한 지역 65세 이상의 한국인 고령코호트를 대상으로 한 연구에서 근감소증의 지표 중에서이중 방사선 X-선 흡수법을 이용하여 측정한 사지 골격근량을 키의 제곱(ASM/Ht2) 또는 체중으로(ASM/Wt) 나눈 지표를 이용하여 각각 근감소증군과 정상군을 나누었다. 두 군사이의 RBP4, adiponecetin, hsCRP, 혈청 지질, 인슐린 저항성을 측정하여 비교하였다. 결과: ASM/Wt로 정의한 근감소증군에서만 정상군보다높은 RBP4, 낮은 adiponectin 수치를 보였으며 인슐린 저항성, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지반, 저밀도 지질단백질 콜레스테롤 모두 높게 측정되었다. 결론: 근감소증 지표로 ASM/Ht2보다 ASM/Wt로 정의하였을 때 근감소증군에서 정상군보다 심혈관계 대사 질환에대한 위험이 더 높다는

Age-related body composition changes such as sarcopenia and obesity affect functional decline in the elderly. We investigated the relationship between body composition parameters and functional limitation in older Korean adults. We enrolled 242 men and 231women aged ≥ 65 yr from the Korean elderly cohort. We used appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) divided by height2 (ASM/Ht2) and ASM divided by weight (ASM/Wt). The isokinetic strength of knee extensor muscles were measured using an isokinet

Teacher action research seeks to bring together action, reflection, theory, and practice; and it is acknowledged as a way to value and honour teachers’ practical knowledge. The purpose of this article is to conceptualize teacher action research as Bildung, applying Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics as a theoretical framework. Based on five teachers’ lived experiences of conducting action research in their classrooms, this study explores how teachers go through the process of the development o

In this paper, we interrogate the current state of multiculturalism and multicultural education in South Korea and offer a possible theoretical framework that is lacking in the field of multicultural education. We provide three principles of multicultural understanding grounded in Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics to inform multiculturalism in South Korea and beyond. Based on these principles, we propose that multiculturalism be understood and educated as a way of being, that is, as an ontolo

In the current era of ‘zero tolerance’, disciplinary practices including punishment, expulsion, physical and psychological surveillance, and confinement are a major part of resistant students’ lived experiences. This article is an ethnographic study of student resistance that is observed in an alternative high school in the USA, which serves students expelled from regular schools for their acts of resistance. The purpose of this study is to explore how understanding of the meaning of student res

Currently, there is a resurgence of interests in phenomenology in education. This article sheds light on the importance of hermeneutical phenomenology in teaching and learning based on the lived experience of a Sioux Indian adolescent boy, elicited from an ethnographic case study conducted at an alternative high school in the US. Employing narrative inquiry, this article seeks phenomenological ways of understanding students' lived experiences and explores the meaning of the pedagogical practice
