Digital resources for public archaeology| New directions of public outreach and education

Crosby, Brian 11 February 2014 (has links)
<p> Archaeologists increasingly recognize the need for public outreach and education, which many archaeological organizations include in principles and guidelines. First, this thesis summarizes my experience with a multicomponent internship, with Archaeology Southwest, the Learning Center of the American Southwest, and the National Park Service. During my internship I focused on providing the public with access to information about archaeological materials through the internet. Finally, this thesis explores the opportunity of providing deeper understandings, while considering potential implications, when working with the digital medium. During my time with Archaeology Southwest I produced three dimensional digital representations, virtual artifacts, of archaeological ceramic vessels. I designed the virtual artifacts for use by Archaeology Southwest's Virtual Southwest website and the Learning Center of the American Southwest (LCAS) Virtual Museum website. I contributed to the digital repositories of the websites, and subsequently reviewed and analyzed my experience to determine the best use of the virtual artifacts. During my time with the National Park Service (NPS) I helped develop lesson plans and activities of the Sinagua archaeological culture of Wupatki and Walnut Canyon National Monuments, designed primarily for third through fifth grade students visiting the monuments during school trips. Digital media provides the opportunity to preserve archaeological resources while educating the public to provide a deeper understanding of the past. I created 28 three dimensional reconstructions, virtual artifacts, of existing archaeological ceramic vessels provided by the Museum of Northern Arizona and Northern Arizona University. I designed the virtual artifacts for multiple online programs and for the lesson plans that I created for the National Park Service. I critically analyze the use of the products of my internship within the open-source movement, detail the current state of intellectual property rights for indigenous communities, and provide recommendations for my internship organizations. This information provides archaeologists with a reflexive analysis of the current use of intangible digital resources and serves as a guide for future projects.</p>

Is cheating always intentional? The perception of college students toward the issues of plagiarism

Tabor, Erin L. 02 May 2013 (has links)
<p> The definition of plagiarism that is used in university handbooks is a simple one, and policies along with tiers of disciplinary strategies are used by faculty members in higher education to deter students from committing a plagiarism infraction based on this simple definition. However, plagiarism still occurs on college campuses, and this may be a result of gray areas with regard to different aspects of plagiarism that are not contained in the definition. Because of these misunderstandings, students may commit accidental plagiarism or disagree about what constitutes plagiarism. This qualitative study attempted to discover what aspects of plagiarism are confusing for college students. The data collection method involved personal open-ended interviews with 15 college students of different ages, genders, years in college, and areas of study. The 9 different themes that were brought to the surface as a result of the interviews included findings in the reasons that students justify plagiarism, the levels of acceptability among students, the amount of prior education in plagiarism that students have when they enter college, and specific gray areas such as paraphrasing and common knowledge that the participants discussed as confusing. These findings could be used by faculty and administration in institutions of higher education to aid in formatting new policies and learning activities to help students learn about plagiarism from their own perspective and understand the concepts involved in a better way so that less unintentional plagiarism takes place.</p>

Orientador: Arleude Bortolozzi / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Geociencias / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-11T17:23:46Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Joinhas_LuziaAparecida_D.pdf: 42298501 bytes, checksum: 2ae25a18e905bf7f935cef4e72f80c3f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: A atual Floresta Edmundo Navarro de Andrade ¿ antigo Horto Florestal de Rio Claro ¿ SP, Brasil, é analisada nesta tese como um espaço de contradição, portanto entre a memória e o esquecimento. Acentuadas ao longo do tempo e decorrentes do processo histórico de produção, apropriação e usos do território, as contradições atuais apresentam-se ainda mais agravadas, devidos aos impactos ambientais da expansão urbana na sua área de entorno. Nesse sentido, tendo como fio condutor a história do Horto Florestal, esse trabalho procura ressaltar as relações sociais, econômicas, políticas, culturais e ambientais aí estabelecidas. Objetiva principalmente mostrar que o resgate da memória local ¿ individual e coletiva ¿ se faz necessário e urgente, para contribuir com a preservação do seu patrimônio cultural (bens construídos e a floresta). Este resgate da memória, no entanto deverá se dar na perspectiva de uma gestão integrada do território, compreendido como um conjunto inseparável entre o natural e o artificial. Considerando, portanto que objeto de estudo nesta tese compreende uma floresta urbana foi importante buscar uma integração entre sociedade e natureza por meio do entendimento dos aspectos técnicos e humanísticos. Assim sendo, procurou-se integrar uma análise documental (normas de legislação ambiental que regem a unidade de conservação) com as informações coletadas na pesquisa de campo a fim de detectar os conflitos existentes entre os desejos da população e o poder público local. Dessa forma, a Educação Patrimonial como suporte, poderá ser inserida no rol das ações que visem a combater o esquecimento do Horto Florestal por meio do fortalecimento da identidade cultural da população rio-clarense. Para a confirmação dessa hipótese foi importante dar vozes aos interlocutores, ou seja, os envolvidos na pesquisa, tais como: poder público local, os moradores, os visitantes e ONGs / Abstract: The Current Forest Edmundo Navarro de Andrade - former and antique Horto Florestal of Rio Claro - Brazil, is discussed in this thesis as a space of contradiction between memory and forgetfulness. Wide over time and arising from the production, ownership and territorial usage¿s historic process, current contradictions present themselves further aggravated due to the environmental impacts of the urban sprawl in its surroundings. In that sense, with the leitmotif on the Horto Florestal story, this work emphasizes the established social, economic, political, cultural and environmental relations. It aims mainly showing that local memory redemption - individual and collective - is necessary and urgent to contribute to the preservation of its cultural heritage -"the forest itself and its builted assets."This memory rescue, however should be given the perspective of a territorial integrated management, understood as an inseparable set between natural and artificial. Considering that the study object in this thesis abroads an urban forest, it was important to seek an integration between society and nature through both technical and humanistic aspects understanding. Therefore, it has striven to integrate a documentary analysis (standards of environmental legislation governing the conservation unit) with the information collected in the field to identify the conflicts between population demands and local public power. Thus, patrimonial education as a support may be included in the list of actions aimed at combating Horto Florestal forgetfulness, through ¿Rio-clarense¿ population cultural identity strengthening. For this hypothesis confirmation it was important to give an active voice to the interlocutors, namely those involved in research, such as: local public power, residents, visitors and NGOs / Doutorado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Doutor em Ciências
