Contextual Research - Science topic

موضوع مهم وأعتقد من وجهة نظري أن غالبية الدول تنتهج نفس النهج في التعليم

Thank you very much for the reading recommendation. I realize that social interactions within the scope of Discourse Analysis go in the same direction as understanding Symbolic Interactionism, which is very interesting for my research on social memory.

look at:

Hope this helps... Its a good paper by Parker et al. 2007.

This one popped up in my feed lately. Kashdan has been focusing on psych flex for a while now. https://www.toddkashdan.com/measures/

Random exercise where practice is on any of the skills required randomly, random exercise is more suitable for learning open skills as the importance of random exercise is to make the learner forget the solutions and procedures for movement during each repetition, as forgetting the solutions forces the learner to generate new solutions and prepare them for the attempt Second, this requires the learner to provide the largest number of motor programs and store them in memory.

Hello,

The measure I usually use to assess mood is the PANAS: Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988). It is well validated and easy to administer. There is a pdf available via researchgate.

Good luck with your research.

Thanks very much Sir.

I am reading and trying to understand how I can derive Context.

But still have some blockage.

For example how to I have the Context of Gene Ontology http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/go.owl

This is just one of the Ontologies I will use in my work.

Thanks

Contextual definition: a definition of a phenomenon that is context dependent vs Definitional context: a situation or context that is of cardinal importance in the definition of a phenomenon. As can be seen, therefore, though the two are related, they may not mean the same thing: one is in essence A DEFINITION, while the other is A CONTEXT. 

The question is too fuzzy for accurate answers, but here's some more ideas about context. Many of these current answers are very limited and narrow - context is a huge term that is used in numerous alternative ways. You need to be more precise what you want to achieve with context and modelling. What you mean by context and modelling. Etc.

Research about provenance is all about documenting and tracking context. This article reviews are huge amount of multi-disciplinary provenance (=contexts) research. The topic is huge.

One clearly a methodological paper about context modelling is this: CEIP Maps: Context-embedded Information Product Map

There is a lot of research about context in HCI research. The whole discipline is based on the concept of context. For example HCI ISO standard defines Context of Use as a combination of users, tasks, tools and environments. You can model these issues in unlimited level of detail and complexity. There exists a lot of managerial and technical tools for modelling contexts in user centred development processes. Software systems for modelling context as well as systems to monitor contexts. Etc.

Hi Ines, It is an interesting question. It would be even better if we had some examples or diagrams here to illustrate the issue. I teach (and do) systems modeling and many of of my students also do context diagrams, aside from data models, process models and object models. My general answer would be yes, it is sometimes possible to have the same concept in different models. If something is in the business context model but is  also a major entity that we want to record detailed data on, yes, it would make sense to have it in the data or database model as well. Location related data, for example, can be quite detailed. Best wishes and good luck with your work. 

You can also have a look at Alcaraz and Lopez, who discuss the differentiation between situation awareness and context awareness:

Alcaraz, C., Lopez, J. (2013) Wide-area situation awareness for critical infrastruture protection. Computer 46(4). pp 30-37

The contextual analysis helps to assess the text, for example, in its historical, cultural or social context. It may also charcterise the text in terms of its textuality. Generally, contextual analysis considers all the circumstances in the emergence of the text.

Some key questions are:

What does the text reveal about itself as a text?

What does the text tell us about its apparent intended audience(s)?

What seems to have been the author’s intention?

What is the occasion for this text?

...

The semantic analysis deals with the meaning of the text.

In more detail, during a semantic analysis the meaning of the terms in their textual context is examined to understand the meaning of the entire text. One can say, the meaning of the entire text is opend up from the different levels of its syntactic parts.

Hope this helps.

My experience (like that of most people) is limited to a number of software packages. HLM is very easy to use. BUGS and GLLAMM (in Stata) are very flexible and cover the widest range of models, but both are challenged by large and complex data sets which can take a long time to estimate. MLwiN can handle large data sets very efficiently and can estimate models in likelihood and Bayesian (MCMC) mode- this allows goodish likelihood estimates to be used as starting values for the MCMC estimation. The MLwiN software also has lots of post estimation procedures to help interpret the results. MIXREG is very efficient and is very useful for discrete outcomes.

The Centre for Multilevel Modelling at the University of Bristol has recognised the problems with this and has started a large programme of work (sponsored by the UK ESRC) to provide for “inter-operability” – that is the ability to work across software platforms. The fruits of this so far are

1: runmlwin: Runs MLwiN from within Stata

2: R2MLwiN: runs MLwiN from within R

And much more ambitiously

3: Stat-JR

“is a brand new statistical software system: it constitutes a very different data analysis experience, featuring: an interface with a range of other statistical software packages, circumventing the need to learn software-specific techniques each time functionality of a new package required, but also providing tools to help teach software-specific knowledge to those wishing to learn; its own in-house MCMC based estimation engine (eStat) for complex data modelling (including multilevel models); open source templates allowing users to write their own Stat-JR functions; an eBook interface providing an interactive way of reporting and disseminating science, and an innovative tool for teaching statistics” Put simply you can specify a model in this environment and then ask for it to create syntax in a very large range of different software, as well as estimate with its own MCMC procedures .

Dear Hansika,

contextual environmental and personal factors play an essential part in affecting health problems and the impact of disability on inclusion in society. When looking holistically researchers increasingly come to the point that contextual factors often may have an effect at least as important as impairments and the disease themselves. Therefore I am pleased to draw the attention to the bio-psycho-social disease model and the importance of the philosophy of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF of the WHO 2001).

Concentrating on the bio-medical disease model alone will risk to miss the negative effect of diseases and the positive effects medical interventions may have on handicaps and participation in its interdependency with contextual factors. To amputate the leg of a postman due to a vascular disease is a highly professional task but a tragedy for the patient. Medical help is not ending after the successful amputation, it is more than that. To identify and evaluate the contextual factors affecting handicaps and participation by operating as facilitators or barriers is crucial to evaluate the overall outome of medical interventions. Integrating environmental and personal factors into the decision process for medical intervention planning and acknowledging their importance from the viewpoint of the owner of the lost leg will be much less strenuous, potentially successful and productive than ignoring them. Thus the consideration of and the attention to contextual factors is a must for healthcare professionals, in rehabilitation units at the latest.

Best greetings

Wolfgang

Some works exist on this topic. A starting point could be my publications (http://www-poleia.lip6.fr/~brezil/Pages2/Publications/index.html) and the series of international and interdisciplinary conferences CONTEXT.

The general idea is to consider that contextual elements come from (1) the student, (2) a task that the student realizes, (3) the situation in which the student realizes his task, and (4) the local environment where are available resources needed for task realization.

Thus, you have to:

1) fix a focus

2) identify a maximum of contextual elements related to the focus (new student, task is an exam, situation stressful, computers are allowed)

3) for each particular student, identify contextual elements that are relevant or not.

4) use any statistical tool for make a synthesis.

Personally, I use a formalism called Contextual Graphs for representing practices developed by actors (your students) for realizing the task and helping new students for the realization of the same task. But it is another story. :-)
