Infusing social emotional learning into the teacher education curriculum
Research supports the importance of policies and interventions to infuse social emotional
curricula in schools. The role of teachers in supporting young childrenâs social and emotional
readiness for classroom learning has been recognized, but instruction in childrenâs well-being
and social emotional competence is a low priority in teacher preparation programs. In this
study we, used qualitative methods to examine whether we could successfully infuse an
undergraduate curriculum and instructional course with social emotional learning content.
The article reports on this effort, and considered the following questions: How can courses
infused with SEL content impact prospective teachersâ views on the overall role of emotions
in the classroom? What is the influence of the course on preservice teachersâ conceptions of
SEL and its association with childrenâs classroom learning and behavior? How can teacher
preparation programs encourage prospective teachers to consider childrenâs social emotional
skills once they enter the classroom as teachers? At course end, the 15 enrolled students
responded to predetermined questions as part of a self-reflection assignment. Using grounded theory methods, three themes were identified from participantsâ reflections, including the connection between SEL and academic learning, shifting from teacher- to student-centered pedagogy, and the desire for continued learning related to SEL. An in-depth examination of these themes revealed that SEL concepts can be successfully infused in an undergraduate course on curriculum and instruction. Implications for teacher training are discussed and future avenues for research are presented.peer-reviewe
Ultra-stable long distance optical frequency distribution using the Internet fiber network
We report an optical link of 540 km for ultrastable frequency distribution
over the Internet fiber network. The stable frequency optical signal is
processed enabling uninterrupted propagation on both directions. The robustness
and the performance of the link are enhanced by a cost effective fully
automated optoelectronic station. This device is able to coherently regenerate
the return optical signal with a heterodyne optical phase locking of a low
noise laser diode. Moreover the incoming signal polarization variation are
tracked and processed in order to maintain beat note amplitudes within the
operation range. Stable fibered optical interferometer enables optical
detection of the link round trip phase signal. The phase-noise compensated link
shows a fractional frequency instability in 10 Hz bandwidth of 5x10-15 at one
second measurement time and 2x10-19 at 30 000 s. This work is a significant
step towards a sustainable wide area ultrastable optical frequency distribution

Interaction Design: Foundations, Experiments
Interaction Design: Foundations, Experiments is the result of a series of projects, experiments and curricula aimed at investigating the foundations of interaction design in particular and design research in general.
The first part of the book - Foundations - deals with foundational theoretical issues in interaction design. An analysis of two categorical mistakes -the empirical and interactive fallacies- forms a background to a discussion of interaction design as act design and of computational technology as material in design.
The second part of the book - Experiments - describes a range of design methods, programs and examples that have been used to probe foundational issues through systematic questioning of what is given. Based on experimental design work such as Slow Technology, Abstract Information Displays, Design for Sound Hiders, Zero Expression Fashion, and IT+Textiles, this section also explores how design experiments can play a central role when developing new design theory
