Abstract
Social bookmarking is a recent phenomenon which has the potential to give us a great deal of data about pages on the web. One major question is whether that data can be used to augment systems like web search. To answer this question, over the past year we have gathered what we believe to be the largest dataset from a social bookmarking site yet analyzed by academic researchers. Our dataset represents about forty million bookmarks from the social bookmarking site del.icio.us. ...

Abstract
Computer literacy, media literacy, digital literacy and digital competence are all concepts that highlight the need to handle technology in our digital age. However, when it comes to teachers digital literacy there is a need to develop a more pedagogic-didactic content for digital literacy in order to deal with the way in which new digital trends influence the underlying conditions for schools, pedagogy and subjects. This theoretical article will therefore examine whether a broader view of knowledge (situated learning) can be ...

Abstract
Generational differences are seen as the cause of wide shifts in our ability to engage with technologies and the concept of the digital native has gained popularity in certain areas of policy and practice. This paper provides evidence, through the analysis of a nationally representative survey in the UK, that generation is only one of the predictors of advanced interaction with the Internet. Breadth of use, experience, gender and educational levels are also important, indeed in some cases more important than ...

International Journal for Educational Integrity, Vol. 7, No. 2. (2011)
Abstract
Honour code systems have been long-established in some American universities, associated with cultures of academic integrity. This study considers the perceptions of students and staff, elicited through focus groups and electronic voting, in one UK higher education institution regarding the potential for implementation of these systems in the UK. Whilst the main principles of honour codes were broadly welcomed, implementation in the UK higher education context was perceived as problematic. Although both staff and students saw educational benefits in increased student ...

The **Fourth Edition** of Robert K. Yin’s bestselling text presents the breadth of the case study method but at a detailed level. It serves as a complete portal to the world of case study research. The **Fourth Edition** now covers more than 50 case studies, about one-quarter of them not cited in earlier editions, with vignettes of the case studies appearing throughout the text. Similarly, this edition contains numerous citations to the most recent literature. New methodological insights cover the similarities ...

Abstract
This article explores some of the theoretical underpinnings of radical approaches to student voice and examines a number of practical issues we need to address if we wish to move towards a more transformative future. The framework within which the notion of voice is explored and critiqued falls primarily into two categories. The first, Deconstructing the presumptions of the present, explores the largely ignored problematic of much student voice work. (1) 'Problems of speaking about others', (2) 'Problems of speaking for ...

Abstract
In this summary we look at key elements of the work of two more thinkers: John Dewey (1859-1952) and Donald Schön (1930-1997), both of w hom explored the idea of 'reflective practice'. As professor of philosophy at Columbia University in the United States, Dewey wrote on a wide range of topics in the fields of philosophy, society and education. One of his best-known works is Experience and Education (1938), which provides a clear analysis of 'traditional' and 'progressive' education in the US. ...

Abstract
Helping students to achieve their potential and motivating them to work hard to do so is an aim of central importance for most of us. The study summarised in this TLA research summary focuses on student motivation and achievement and explores how they relate to beliefs that students hold about themselves and about the nature of ability. The book, summarised in Self-theories: Their role in motivation, personality and development (Dweck 2000), aimed to explore why some young people exceed expectations and others ...

Abstract
<p> This country's most challenging writer on education presents here a distillation, for the general reader, of half a decade's research and reflection. His theme is dual: how children learn, and how they can best be helped to learn--how they can be brought to the fullest realization of their capacities. </p><p> Mr. Bruner, <i>Harper's</i> reports, has "stirred up more excitement than any educator since John Dewey." His explorations into the nature of intellectual growth and its relation to ...

Abstract
We report on a small scale study with six experienced teachers of mathematics in which we have applied a general theoretical model of expert practice (developed by the second author) to explore the nature of the knowledge base that enables teachers to operate effectively in the complexity of a class of 30 pupils. This model uses the notion of attention-dependent knowledge, which is derived through the use of specialised attentional skills. A methodology was developed which enabled us both to investigate ...

Abstract
This paper describes a process of migration from formal, paper-based, institutionally owned processes towards informal, social, student-centred personal development. In terms of tool use, this journey involves moving from isolated personal silos to flexible online networks which attempts to use social tools to increase engagement with education. We describe here the evidence we have collected and analyzed which shows that social network portfolios allow powerful yet highly granular feedback loops and encourage the emergence of peer support and mentoring networks. The ...

Abstract
Lyra's life is already sufficiently interesting for a novel before she eavesdrops on a presentation by her uncle Lord Asriel to his colleagues in the Jordan College faculty, Oxford. The college, famed for its leadership in experimental theology, is funding Lord Asriel's research into the heretical possibility of the existence of worlds unlike Lyra's own, where everyone is born with a familiar animal companion, magic of a kind works, the Tartars are threatening to overrun Muscovy, and ...
