This paper responds to recent calls explore the nuances of interaction between sciences, arts and their inherent creativity better understand potential within teaching learning. Building on previous arguments that science-arts-creativity relationship is dialogic relational, this research focuses question: How are dialogue material/embodied activity manifested creative pedagogy? We begin with a fusion Bakhtinian-inspired New-Materialist understandings drawing out importance embodiment in...

While trusting coworker relationships are conducive to knowledge transfer, distinct types of trust and the contextual conditions under which they most effective have received limited empirical attention. In this article, we distinguish between professional personal trust, hypothesize that their relative transfer advantage may vary as a function duration receiver-source relationship. Using survey data from 135 receivers reporting on with sources, find both interact relationship duration,...

AbstractUniversity research scientists epitomise knowledge workers who are positioned to avail of the employment conditions associated with 'boundaryless careers'. Yet while flexibility has been hailed as a positive feature work, relatively little is known about forms such may take or its impact. This article considers factors shaping 40 working in five university centres Ireland. The findings suggest that, for scientists, contract can deny them access many and opportunities that govern...

In recent years the realisation that children make decisions and choices about subjects they like in primary school became widely accepted. The role of teacher as main ambassador for a subject is therefore crucial inspiring enthusing younger generation towards STEM. However, most European countries, teachers do not necessarily have good content knowledge STEM including physics this requirement. Many stopped studying at core level high school. This puts perspective problems might encounter...

Abstract With the increasing shift from STEM to STEAM education, arts-based approaches science teaching and learning are considered promising for aligning school curricula with development of twenty-first century skills, including creativity. Yet impact practices on student creativity specifically how latter is associated outcomes have thus far received scarce empirical support. This paper contributes this line research by reporting a two-wave quantitative study that examines effect...

Recent developments in science education policy and practice suggest that successful learning the 21st century requires horizontal connectedness across areas of knowledge by linking arts humanities with science, technology, engineering mathematics (STEM) subjects.The rapidly increasing STEAM movement calls for integration into teaching to help school students develop skills are necessary thrive an innovation economy.Education outreach high-energy physics not exception these developments.In...

While a growing body of HRM research has underscored the primacy people management issues within broader KM agenda, little progress been made in understanding interrelationships between HR practices and intra-organisational knowledge sharing. The aim this paper is to contribute theoretically debate on emergent role sharing knowledge-intensive firms. Viewing as socially constructed phenomenon firm distributed system, draws upon social capital theory places forefront discussion catalytic -...

Based on survey data from 374 incoming, first-year undergraduates of an Irish university business school, this study examines student ownership, usage and expectations information communications technology (ICT) how these are influenced by characteristics, such as gender, nationality, socioeconomic background, place residence, prior levels ICT experience. Results indicate significant differences in ownership attributed to residence. Additional ICT-enabled learning activities related...

Session Introduction to the Discussion SessionThe variety of resources that have been developed for Education & Outreach purposes in field High Energy Physics has increased dramatically over past decade.Dedicated web-sites, databases and European-Union funded projects facilitated storage dissemination many these resources.Activities include use HEP-inspired art attract interest audiences, real LHC data hands-on enquiry-based learning activities full teaching programs graduates.Six...

This study builds on previous research the role of ICT in higher education and society, particularly works by EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR) Pew Internet & American Life Project. It is one largest most detailed investigations Irish business school education. In particular, including a sample nearly 1,000 students from top university, it addresses following questions: What do own use their daily lives? To what extent have they adopted new ICT, portable media social networking?...

In the context of a knowledge-based agenda understanding dynamics collaborative process between universities and industry becomes critical. This paper develops an analytical framework for examining processes underpinning capabilities University Research Centres (URCs). Drawing on lens communities, this multi-level provides useful basis in more detail unique motives, relational negotiated orders informing shaping formation sustenance research collaboration URCs. Implications management...

Assessing the impact of an intervention by using time-series observational data on multiple units and outcomes is a frequent problem in many fields scientific research. Here, we propose novel Bayesian multivariate factor analysis model for estimating effects such settings develop efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to sample from high-dimensional nontractable posterior interest. The proposed method one few that can simultaneously deal with mixed type (continuous, binomial, count),...

Advances in information and communications technologies (ICTs) has given rise to innovative use of web-based video tools for global communication, enhancing the impact large research facilities their Outreach Education programmes.One such example involves videoconferences schools remote events around globe, known as Virtual Visits, conducted by ATLAS CMS experiments at CERN.The goal these programmes is help public especially young people engage understand how science works field particle...

This report examines ICT ownership, usage, and skills of Irish gifted talented students investigates their experience with, expectations use in the school environment. The key findings, based on responses 378 CTYI who participated this study by completing a questionnaire survey are detailed.

Despite theoretical support suggesting a strong linkage between HR systems and knowledge management outcomes, only limited empirical evidence exists on the relative contribution of practices, particularly as experienced by individual employees, to facilitating intrafirm flows. Further, even fewer studies have investigated key intermediate mechanisms which practices affect sharing attitudes behaviour. Drawing survey 135 core employees from three Irish-based firms, we found that reciprocal...
