Can science tell us what’s objectively true? Or is it merely a clever way to cure doubt – to give us something to believe in, whether it’s true or not? In this essay, I look at the pragmatist account of science expounded by Charles Sanders Peirce in his 1877 essay, ‘The Fixation of Belief’. Against Peirce, I argue that science does not come naturally to our species, nor does the doubting open-mindedness upon which its practice relies. To the extent that science is successful in ‘curing’ doubt, it’s because it tracks the real state of the world; and I argue that Peirce himself – his pragmatist narrative notwithstanding – is implicitly committed to this view as well.

A symbolic-interpretive perspective as applied to the study of groups is concerned with understanding how group members use symbols and the effects of symbol usage on individual, relational, and collective processes and outcomes, as well as the manner in which groups and group dynamics themselves are products of such symbolic activity. After reviewing philosophical, theoretical, and methodological foundations of a symbolic-interpretive perspective, we offer a conceptual model and review some representative research that illuminates the nature of symbolc predispositions, practices, processes, and products in groups. We conclude by discussing some of the strengths and challenges of studying group dynamics from a symbolic-interpretive perspective.

The York College-hosted NASA MAA (MUREP AEROSPACE ACADEMY) has always played a pivotal role in minimizing the learning loss during the summer months, which was heightened during the pandemic. Support from AT&T, Con Edison and NASA enabled the MAA program at York College to offer a virtual STEM education with basic science and python-based concentration to 1000 plus underserved K1-12 students from the community last summer, including 160 high school students.

Makalah ini membahas tentang etika dalam komunikasi kelompok beserta studi kasus dan analisisnya. Etika adalah cabang dari filsafat yang membicarakan tentang nilai baik- buruk. Etika membicarakan tentang pertimbangan- pertimbangan tentang tindakan-tindakan baik buruk, susila tidak susila dalam hubungan antar manusia. Etika komunikasi kelompok dikaitkan dengan watak atau kesusilaan yang menentukan benar atau tidaknya cara penyampaian pesan kepada orang lain sebagai anggota kelompok tersebut yang dapat mengubah sikap, pendapat, atau perilaku baik secara lisan ataupun tidak langsung.

The Internet is continuously expanding, expecting to reach 50 billion devices in 2020. The majority of these devices are no longer ordinary phones or laptops, but tiny devices embedded in everyday things such as lights, wristbands, etc. Hence, the resulting Internet is called the Internet of Things (IoT). The integration of these devices into the IoT brings new challenges, mainly because these devices are so constrained that they cannot run standard Internet protocols, not to mention running applications on top of them in a secure manner. In order to maintain the open nature of the Internet for constrained devices as well, Internet standardization bodies started developing open standard protocols to cover the various layers of the networking stack. One of the recent open standards is the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), which is a light-weight alternative to Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) - the leading Internet application layer protocol. The goal of this PhD research is to further facilitate the integration and usage of these devices by investigating novel enablers on top of CoAP, which can be used without any programming effort.

Creativity and innovation as concepts have become almost meaningless in their ubiquity in the everyday language of politics and businesses. At the same time, they are needed more than ever. The problems of the 21st Century are intractable and complex and need solutions that are beyond those of individual players. However, creativity has been predominantly studied from the individual perspective , meaning the research tradition is out of step with changes in working practices as it does not provide guidance for complex creative and interactional processes. This dissertation argues that creative collaboration can be approached through the lens of the theories about complex systems. These theories conceptualize creative collaboration as an interactive and emergent phenomenon, in which creativity emerges continuously and unpredictably from the interactions of the actors and elements of the system. This argument is investigated in this study by developing a research framework based on the theories of complex systems and examining creative collaboration through empirical case studies that were conducted in the context of innovation camps. The purpose of this research is to answer the following question: How can the application of complexity sciences improve our understanding of collective creativity? The disseration summarises some of its central findings from the practical perspective proposing a set of important factors for fostering creative collaboration.

In this paper, we closely examine the various ways in which a multi-party argumentative discussion—argumentative polylogue—can be analyzed in a dialectical framework. Our chief concern is that while multi-party and multi-position discussions are characteristic of a large class of argumentative activities, dialectical approaches would analyze and evaluate them in terms of dyadic exchanges between two parties: pro and con. Using as an example an academic committee arguing about the researcher of the year as well as other cases from argumentation literature, we scrutinize the advantages and pitfalls of applying a dialectical framework to polylogue analysis and evaluation. We recognize two basic dialectical methods: interpreting polylogues as exchanges between two main camps and splitting polylogues into a multitude of dual encounters. On the basis of this critical inquiry, we lay out an argument expressing the need for an improved polylogical model and propose its basic elements.

Empowerment provides a potentially useful framework for social work practice with Indigenous Australians. However, there is little systematic research on what empowerment actually means in this context. This study sought to examine the concept of empowerment for Indigenous Australians through a grounded theory analysis of the stories of people who experienced empowerment, having participated in the Indigenous developed Family Wellbeing empowerment program. The emergent theoretical model delineates central interconnected and mutually reinforcing elements that enabled people to effect life changes, even where many aspects of their social context remained constraints. The elements involve particular beliefs and attitudes, and skills and knowledge manifested in agency and leading to achievements. All of the elements correspond with theoretical literature pertaining to empowerment. However, the proposed emergent theory places a greater emphasis on attributes associated with a belief in God, strong personal values, and having the skills to help others. These attributes resonate with Indigenous concepts of culture and spirituality. The findings provide a valuable conceptual model for social workers engaging with Indigenous groups, communities, and organisations, whether through policy, planning, research, or practice.

Roles are one of the most important concepts in understanding human sociocognitive behavior. During group interactions, members take on different roles within the discussion. Roles have distinct patterns of behavioral engagement (i.e., active or passive, leading or following), contribution characteristics (i.e., providing new information or echoing given material), and social orientation (i.e., individual or group). Different combinations of roles can produce characteristically different group outcomes, and thus can be either less or more productive with regard to collective goals. In online collaborative-learning environments, this can lead to better or worse learning outcomes for the individual participants. In this study, we propose and validate a novel approach for detecting emergent roles from participants' contributions and patterns of interaction. Specifically, we developed a group communication analysis (GCA) by combining automated computational linguistic techniques with analyses of the sequential interactions of online group communication. GCA was applied to three large collaborative interaction datasets (participant N = 2,429, group N = 3,598). Cluster analyses and linear mixed-effects modeling were used to assess the validity of the GCA approach and the influence of learner roles on student and group performance. The results indicated that participants' patterns of linguistic coordination and cohesion are representative of the roles that individuals play in collaborative discussions. More broadly, GCA provides a framework for researchers to explore the micro intra-and interpersonal patterns associated with participants' roles and the sociocognitive processes related to successful collaboration.
