From Observation to Ethical Inquiry: Course Redesign in Middle Level Educator Preparation

This manuscript explores the transformative impact of ethical engagement in the course MLGE 3301: Adolescent Learning, designed for pre-field students in an educator preparation program. Focused on middle-grade education and special education, this course incorporates a significant service learning component, with undergraduate students spending 10 service hours in middle school classrooms and conducting interviews with middle school students. The purpose of the interviews is to enable pre-field students to engage with middle school students and use the insights gained to reflect on the alignment between their coursework in adolescent learning theory and real-world experiences. Two professors leading the course recognized ethical concerns, leading to the refinement of Informed Consent documents and the co-construction of more ethically sound interview questions with their students. The article will also outline next steps, including mandating CITI training for ethical research practices and annual Institutional Review Board (IRB) proposal renewal. This manuscript highlights the critical role of ethics in shaping the learning experience and deepening the understanding of adolescent learning theory within educator preparation programs

Digital Literacies of My Former Preservice Teachers: Are They Being Prepared?

This study is to explore the intersections and disjunctures between digital literacy practices in a teacher preparation program coursework and personal digital literacy use. This research was based on interviews with six in-service teachers about their digital literacies’ in their first year as a classroom teacher, as a reflection on their teacher preparation program. The findings of this study indicate that teacher preparation programs should provide as much background knowledge of digital literacies and technology applications in preservice teachers’ coursework as needed for that program. However, there are districts that have adopted their own software and technology applications, therefore, when preservice teachers enter these districts, it is hard for them to be prepared for all of the technology. What is important is experience and preparation with digital literacies (i.e., intersections of technology and literacy, Heitin, 2016) in teacher preparation programs, so teachers can transfer them into their classroom instruction and pedagogy. Further, this study provides evidence of online resources and interactions between learners and coursework, that suit the framework for preservice teacher education. Barriers that occurred when accessing digital devices in a classroom, as well as connections between teachers, learners, and parents, were also present in this study. While teacher preparation is important, the findings signify that there is no means to be prepared for it all

Simple and Naïve Techniques for Backdoor Elimination in RCA

World is rapidly going to be digitalized and security is major challenge in digital world. Digital data should be protected against bad natured users. Number of system has come up with different solutions, some of them adopting response computation authentication. In Response Computation Authentication System, system calculates users response and if it matches with system expected value then system authenticates user. Response computation system authenticates user independently. In RCA bad natured developer have plant backdoor to avoid regular authentication procedure. Developer can add some delicate vulnerability in source code or can use some insufficient cryptographic algorithm to plant backdoor. Because of insufficient cryptographic algorithm it is very difficult to detect and eliminate backdoor in RCA. Here proposed system provides solution to check whether any system contain any backdoor or not? Login module is divided into number of components and component having simple logic are checked by code review and component which contains cryptography are sandboxed.

Late Semantic Fusion Approach for the Retrieval of Multimedia Data

In Multimedia information retrieval late semantic fusion is used to combine textual pre-filtering with an image re-ranking. Three steps are used for retrieval processes. Visual and textual techniques are combined to help the developed Multimedia Information Retrieval System to minimize the semantic gap for given query. In the paper, different late semantic fusion approaches i.e. Product, Enrich, MaxMerge and FilterN are used and for experiments publicly available ImageCLEF Wikipedia Collection is used.

A survey on Response Computaion Authentication techniques.

as we know the problems regarding data and system security are challenging and taking attraction of researchers. Although there are many techniques available which offers protection to systems there is no single Method which can provide full protection. As we know to provide security to system authentication in login system is main issue for developers. Response Computable Authentication is two way methods which are used by number of authentication system where an authentication system independently calculates the expected user response and authenticates a user if the actual user response matches the expected value. But such authentication system have been scare by malicious developer who can bypass normal authentication by covering logic in source code or using weak cryptography. This paper mainly focuses on RCA system to make sure that authentication system will not be influenced by backdoors. In this paper our main goal is to take review of different methods, approaches and techniques used for Response Computation Authentication

Multimedia Retrieval: Survey Of Methods And Approaches

As we know there are numbers of applications present where multimedia retrieval is used and also numbers of sources are present. So accuracy is the major issue in retrieval process. There are number of techniques and datasets available to retrieve information. Some techniques uses only text-based image retrieval (TBIR), some uses content-based image retrieval (CBIR) while some are using combination of both. In this paper we are focusing on both TBIR and CBIR results and then fusing these two results. For fusing we are using late fusion. TBIR captures conceptual meaning while CBIR used to avoid false results. So final results are more accurate. In this paper our main goal is to take review of different methods and approaches used for Multimedia Retrieval
