Re‐thinking teachers' professional development: An analysis of National Professional Qualifications for school leaders in England

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article considers how teachers' professional development could be redeveloped to help address the current crisis in teacher recruitment and retention by offering greater intellectual rigour and more opportunities for intellectual growth. Our analysis is focused on the UK government's current policy for leadership development in schools in

School readiness and the good level of development: Policy constructions in English early childhood education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper critically analysed how school readiness has been historically and discursively constructed in Early Childhood Education (ECE) policy in England over the past four decades. Using Bacchi's ‘What's the Problem Represented to be?’ framework and Foucauldian concepts of governmentality, the paper explored how school readiness has shifted

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

Rank‐based estimation of propensity score weights via subclassification

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Propensity score (PS) weighting estimators are widely used for causal effect estimation and enjoy desirable theoretical properties, such as consistency and potential efficiency under correct model specification. However, their performance can degrade in practice due to sensitivity to PS model misspecification.

Grilliot's trick in Nonstandard Analysis

open access: yes, 2017
The technique known as Grilliot's trick constitutes a template for explicitly defining the Turing jump functional $(\exists^2)$ in terms of a given effectively discontinuous type two functional. In this paper, we discuss the standard extensionality trick:

On subset least squares estimation and prediction in vector autoregressive models with exogenous variables

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We establish the consistency and the asymptotic distribution of the least squares estimators of the coefficients of a subset vector autoregressive process with exogenous variables (VARX). Using a martingale central limit theorem, we derive the asymptotic normal distribution of the estimators. Diagnostic checking is discussed using kernel‐based

Optimal with Respect to Accuracy Recovery of Some Classes Functions by Fourier Series

open access: yesКібернетика та комп'ютерні технології
Introduction. Function approximation (approximation or restoration) is widely used in data analysis, model building, and forecasting. The goal of function approximation is to find the function that best approximates the original function.

Two type-theoretical approaches to privative modification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper we apply two kinds of procedural semantics to the problem of privative modification. We do this for three reasons. The first reason is to launch a tough test case to gauge the degree of substantial agreement between a constructivist and a ...
