Exclusive Koala Logic Coupon Code: $10 Discount for New Customers!
Koala Logic is a Canadian sportswear retailer which we have mentioned here on Bargainmoose, once before, when Eva found a great deal on snowboard pants. We previously had an exclusive coupon code for $10 off $100… but I was emailing the company this week and they offered a new $10 coupon code – this time it has no minimum spend required! The only catch is that the coupon is for new customers only, so it could be a good time to try out their store.
Click here to use the Koala Logic coupon code online now
- Coupon Code: bargainmoose
- Discount: $10 off for new customers
- Expires: Unknown
Koala Logic Canada sell a number of top brand names which I am sure you've heard of, such as Sanuk, Rip Curl, G-Shock and Saxx. But there are a ton of other brands on there too, many of which I am not familiar with such as Osiris, Crooks, IS Eyewear and more.
The Westbeach items are currently on sale for up to 70% off, so you might want to have a scroll through those items. The $10 coupon code should also stack on top of the 70% sale items too. A couple of steals from the Westbeach section are:
- Westbeach Chief Men's Softshell Jacket was $130 now $38.99
- Westbeach Walden Men's Vest was $150 now $44.99
- Westbeach Twist Women's Snowboard Pants was $140 now $41.99
- Westbeach Jenni Women's Softshell Jacket was $140 now $41.99
These aren't exactly a "deal" as such, but look at these instance socks! The designs are amazing, with one of my favourites being the Faramones here – aren't they fantastic? OK, $16.99 is probably a bit more than I would personally pay for a pair of socks, but each to their own. :)
Canadian Shipping
If you spend less than $75 on Koala Logic, you'll have to pay a little extra for shipping – it depends on what you buy. Just pop something in your cart and you will see the shipping fee. For example, this IFound Typo Beanie which was $9.99 actually becomes ZERO after the coupon code. Then, shipping to Ontario was $14 – so it probably doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense to make such a small order. If you spend $75 or more then your order will ship for free – consider this when placing your order.

It's not just a dating dilemma for daters over 40 and 50. Singles of every age group always want to know where they can meet quality singles their age. They sidle up to me after a dating workshop to ask their question covertly. It's like they're thinking, "I'll get the secret place and access code and not everyone else will."
But there is no magic pill. There is no one single place for senior singles to meet a quality mature mate. There are, however, places where you can go and meet more mature singles in your age group.
Yes, truth be told, there are fewer singles in your age range as we all age. Single dating in your 40s, 50s and 60s will be different than the candy store experience of our 20s and 30s, when there were always an abundance of singles to pick and choose from.
With that reality, know that there might be fewer singles your age. However, ask yourself, "Do I really need to meet 25 singles to get a first date?" Or would it be OK to go somewhere and meet just one, two or three quality singles around your age and date perhaps one or two of them?
Where can you meet quality senior singles in a no pressure casual environment?
- Senior singles sites.
- McDonalds, weekday mornings.
- At the gym, weekdays after 9 a.m.
You do need to get out there in person eventually and actually meet your fellow mature singles if you ever want to get a boyfriend.
Chime in here with your questions and comments, and I'll aim to answer your questions in a future article.

Opening a Pension
To start a Nationwide Super Pension or Nationwide Super Pre-Retirement Pension, you need to have a minimum amount of $10,000.
Eligibility criteria
The following eligibility criteria also apply to be able to access your super benefits through a pension:
|Work Status
|Still Working
|Permanently Retired
|Under 55
|55* – 64
|Pre-Retirement Pension
|Super Pension
|65 and over
|Super Pension
|Super Pension
*Age 55 represents the preservation age for those people who were born before 1 July 1960. The preservation age changes for those born on or after this date, as follows:
|Date of Birth
|Preservation Age
|Before 1 July 1960
|From 1 July 1960 to 30 June 1961
|From 1 July 1961 to 30 June 1962
|From 1 July 1962 to 30 June 1963
|From 1 July 1963 to 30 June 1964
|On or after 1 July 1964
Starting a pension
You should read the Pension Division Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for information on the features, costs, benefits and risks of the Pension accounts.
You should consider seeking advice from a licensed financial planner to determine whether a Pension account is right for you and how to get the most out of your Pension account.
Current Nationwide Super members can apply to open a new Pension account online through the 'Start a Pension' tab within MemberAccess. See below for more details.
Otherwise, to join the Pension Division, you will need to complete and submit an application form (found at the back of the PDS). You will need to choose your investment options, payment frequency, and amount and nominate beneficiaries or a reversionary beneficiary and provide your bank account details. You will then be able to manage these details online through a Pension MemberAccess account.
Opening a pension account
To open your pension account, you need an initial deposit of at least $10,000, which can be sourced from your Nationwide Super account or other super funds. Provided you are eligible, you can also make a voluntary contribution to your super before starting your pension.
Your pension must be started with one lump sum, therefore all funds will firstly need to be consolidated before we are able to open your pension account. If you are not already an existing member of Nationwide Super, a Personal Division account will be opened to accept your contributions and superannuation rollovers. This account will incur the applicable fees and costs and you should refer to the Nationwide Super PDS (Personal Division) for more information.
Pension Join Online – information for existing members
Current Nationwide Super members can apply to open a new Nationwide Super Pension account online through the 'Start a Pension' tab within MemberAccess.
This process reduces the paperwork and time needed to start your Pension account, it automates the account consolidation process, and there is online Proof of Identification verification.
You must meet the following criteria to be able to access the online application facility:
- Have reached your preservation age
- Have an online account in MemberAccess, or register for one before completing the online pension application
- Your existing Nationwide Super account balance is at least $10,000. If your balance is less than this and you wanted to add additional money in order to start your pension, you should arrange this before starting your Pension Join Online application, or alternatively complete a paper Pension Division Application Form
Keeping an existing Nationwide Super account open
When you transfer from an existing Nationwide Super account, you can choose to keep your super account open, so you can still receive contributions. Please note that you will need to leave at least $1,000 in the account to cover the cost of future fee and insurance premium deductions.
You can now also access information for both accounts online with a single MemberAccess login. Simply contact the Nationwide Super team to organise the 'linking' of your two MemberAccess profiles.
Next stepsLogin to MemberAccess

10 Problems With Westworld Nobody Wants To Admit
The Next Game of Thrones? Err....
The Next Game of Thrones? Err....
Game of Thrones has 6 episodes to go, which will air in 2019, and then it will go away forever. Given that GOT is the biggest TV show in the world, HBO obviously needs another program to fill in the gap, and they appear to have chosen Westworld for that formidable task. And, thus far, everyone has overwhelmingly praised Westworld and has described it as the next big TV show.
Here's the thing: Westworld is a three-star show at the most. It's not bad at all, but it certainly isn't a masterpiece. One can fall in love with its often masterful acting, stunning visuals, perfect score by Ramin 'Game of Thrones' Djawadi and big questions all they like, but there are a huge number of issues with Westworld that it gets away with.
Westworld is overdone, self-indulgent, overly slow and nowhere near as smart as it thinks it is. Are people just desperate for a new TV obsession now that Thrones is nearly gone?
There are many valid problems with Westworld that shouldn't be ignored. Mysteriously few reviews of the show have actually bothered to mention them.
Be warned, spoilers ahead for Westworld Season 1.

Wellness Care: Proper Nutrition for the Elderly
Proper nutrition is important for all of us. It may be even more important for our elderly loved ones. Malnutrition is more common in elderly persons than in younger adults and is typically caused by chewing or swallowing disorders, cardiac insufficiency, depression, social deprivation and loneliness. It is important to do what you can to make sure that the person you are caring for enjoys their food and eats a healthy, balanced diet.
A parent or loved one that is not eating right can cause a lot of concern among those who love them. We know intuitively that a good diet is important and studies show that undernutrition is associated with a worse prognosis and is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality.
In other words, elderly people that don't eat right tend to get sick more often and the illness is more severe. Here are some helpful tips that may help you improve your loved one's ability to eat and/or improve their appetite.
Water, Water, Water Make sure the person you are caring for has plenty of water to avoid dehydration, which can lead to appetite suppression. Image: http://medimyth.blogspot.in/2012/10/wake-upin-morning-drink-water-in-empty.html
Keep it small Instead of three large meals a day, which can look overwhelming to someone in poor health, serve six small meals a day.
Bulk up on the amount of calories per meal For instance, you can add protein powder mix to shakes or drinks to increase calories.
Soft is better Serve soft foods such as pudding, ice cream or fruit smoothies because they can be tasty and easy to digest. Counseling and education involving dietary modifications, activity recommendations, medication management, self-monitoring, prognosis, coping skills, social support, caregiver stress, and spiritual needs are critical components maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Make it tasty Don't serve bland or sour tasting foods.
Put the power in their hands When possible, give the person you are caring for the decisionmaking power to decide what they would like to eat; it helps them to feel in control.
Make it pretty Present appetizing looking meals by accenting the plate with a garnish (i.e. strawberry or melon). Also, make the dining experience pleasant for the person you are caring for by playing soft music or talking to them about the day's events while they are eating to take their minds off not feeling well.
Write it down Keep a food diary about the person you are caring for and include: what food they have problems or complications digesting and their daily food menus, and review it with their doctor or dietician for feedback. They may be experiencing digestive problems or irritable bowl syndrome due to their menu.
Work it out Try and get them moving to work up an appetite. If overall exercise such as walking isn't possible, have them fold the laundry or peel vegetable.

Natural Sense BIO day cream
The Natural Sense BIO line wears the EcoCert certificate.
The Day cream is formulated with certified organic ingrediënts such as edelweiss extract, aloë vera and sesame oil (rich in Omega-6) to give moisturizing, elasticity and smoothness to the skin.
Contains no synthetic perfume, no parabens, no GMO and is not tested on animals.
Edelweiss extract
Edelweiss extract has a moisturizing, antioxidant and antiradical activity. Edelweiss has a natural defense mechanism that kicks in when the flower is exposed to UV light. This allows the flower to remain bright white and the leaves remain hydrated and full, despite the altitude, less oxygen in the area and despite the rays of the sun edelwess must defy. Edelweiss extract in a cream makes the pores smaller and less visible. The skin becomes dense and the skin gets a radiant complexion. Edelweiss extract also has a soothing effect on the skin. Say goodbeye to red spots.
Aloe vera
Aloe vera is a well-known plant in skin care and cosmetics industry. There is a reason for this. This cactus contains a gel in the interior of the leaf which is ritch in vitamin A, C and E. Vitamin A, C and E in this plant have an anti-aging action, a soothing effect on the skin and support the healing process of a damaged skin. Vitamin A, C and E are antioxidants and they neutralize free radicals. Aloe vera also has anti-inflammatory properties. This is explained by the presence of sterols, amino acids, lipids, tannins and various enzymes in aloe vera.
Sesame oil
Sesame oil is produces by the pressing the seeds and sesame olie contains a lot of vitamins B1, E and F, a lower concentration of vitamin B6 and it contains valuable minerals that supports healing and regeneration of the skin, such as zinc. The combination of vitamin E, and zinc promotes the production of collagen in the skin. Sesame oil stimulates the bloodcirculation and helps the layers in the skin layers to collaborate better with each other. Sesame oil has a detoxifying effect. This is why sesame oil is used extensively in the Ayurveda. Sesame oil is rich in omega-6 fatty acid. This is known as linoleic acid, but it is a different kind than the linoleic acid type which is made in the food industry as being Omega-6. Sesame oil contains the natural and healthy variant of omega-6. Sesame oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (sesamol, sesamolin and sesamin), again supporting the natural antioxidant effect sesame oil has.

Centre will look into environmental health risks
A research facility to analyse how the health of citizens is affected by the environment in which they live and work has opened at Imperial College London and King's College London. The Centre for Environment and Health will look at how factors such as traffic fumes and aircraft noise impact human well-being.
The Centre will focus on vulnerable groups, such as children and the elderly, and investigate if environmental factors could be increasing their risk of respiratory problems, heart disease, and cancer. It is funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Health Protection Agency (HPA), with Imperial and King's funding staff posts and studentships. If the Centre's work reveals a specific health risk, the HPA can take account of the findings in its government advisories.
"In terms of data we hold for analysis, the Centre will be fairly unique," says Dr Linda Beale, research fellow at Imperial's Division of Epidemiology, Public Health and Primary Care. "It enables us to look into the links between long-term environmental exposure and possible risks."
The Centre will also conduct epidemiological studies of large population samples, and analyse which pollutants they are exposed to in their daily lives. Its researchers will use technological tools in areas like mapping, modeling, toxicology, genomics, proteomics, and metabonomics, to determine which pollutants people are being exposed to, and how exposure levels change over time. One of the Centre's primary IT tools will be the Rapid Inquiry Facility (RIF), an application developed by the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the EC's EURO-HEIS initiative.
Initial projects planned for the new Centre include studies exploring whether land that is contaminated with chemicals from industrial and domestic pollution have a negative health impact, and of people living near Heathrow Airport, investigating how air and noise pollution affects peoples' health.

The perfect summer cake, a real winner for afternoon tea
Strawberry and rose water vanilla sponge
- 220g unsalted butter, softened
- 4 medium eggs
- 200g Cooks' Ingredients Fairtrade vanilla sugar
- 220g self-raising flour, sifted
- 150ml double cream
- 1 tbsp icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
- 150g essential Waitrose greek-style natural yogurt
- 400g essential Waitrose strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 150g essential Waitrose strawberries, hulled
- 1½ tbsp icing sugar
- 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp rose water
- Preheat the oven to 180C, gas mark 4. Grease a 20cm spring-form cake tin and line the base with baking parchment
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric hand whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold in the flour until just combined. The mixture should drop off the end of the spoon when tapped – just add a little milk if it's too thick.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake tin, level the top with the back of the spoon and bake for 40 minutes, or until springy to the touch. Allow the cake to stand for 5 minutes, then remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack. Peel off and discard the baking parchment, then cut the cake in half horizontally.
- To make the strawberry sauce, simply blitz all the ingredients in a blender until smooth
- Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, then sift in the sugar. Fold in the yogurt and spread the mixture on the bottom cake; scatter over two-thirds of the strawberry slices. Press on the top layer of the cake, then dust with icing sugar and top with the remaining strawberry slices. Pour the strawberry sauce over the cake.
Drinks recommendation
Try with the lightly sparkling ripe strawberry flavours of the Moscato Rosa from Brown Brothers in Australia.

How our group began...
Fircroft College in Selly Oak was founded in 1909 by Mr George Cadbury (Junior), the life-long social reformer. He then opened Avoncroft College for the education of farm workers in 1925. The Fircroft Trustees were responsible for the management of Avoncroft College.
In 1940 Mr George Gregg (then Secretary of the Fircroft Trust and later also Principal of the Avoncroft College) and his wife initiated several groups to cater for the cultural needs of the community. The Times Educational Supplement referred to this as "a notable war-time experiment".
These groups were amalagmated in 1946 to form the Avoncroft Arts Society. The college provided facilities and in return the Society was able to contribute to the education of the students, especially those from abroad, who wished to be shown something of the English life and culture.
During the winter of 1947-48 the Folk Dance Group was started under the leadership of Miss Gweneth Foster. She was involved in other groups and was well known for her play-production. Miss Foster's enthusiasm was responsible for the growth of the Folk Dance Group and for the many outside engagements it fulfilled.
In 1954 the Group joined the English Folk Dance and Song Society, and in the January of that year eight members had already represented the county at the Albert Hall Festival. There were also outings to see traditional Morris dancing at Bampton, the International Eisteddfod at Llangollen and the English Folk Dance Society's Festival at Stratford-upon-Avon. "Thus continued one of the most attractive groups of the Society".
Over the years the group has continued to be involved in many events and displays. It is still an active group holding weekly meetings, regular Saturday dances and an annual Playford Ball. The "notable war-time experiment" continues...
Susan Sutcliffe has published a booklet called "The Dirty Hands Brigade" which charts the history of all the groups within the Avoncroft Arts Society.

Nearly everyone has heard the tagline, "There's an app for that." Well do you think there is an app for checking your vision? How about an app for diagnosing an illness? If you answered yes, you'd be right. But should you use them? Probably not.
Remember: Just because it's a smartphone, that doesn't mean it can't make mistakes.
Doctors and nurses at Hampton Roads, Virginia (VA), hospitals were asked if they recommended the medical apps and all said no. Although it would be neat to scan your knee with your phone and take your own X-ray, the technology is just not there. What is there is a hodge-podge of apps that could be in some cases utilized by doctors such as the eye vision test but in most cases just not reliable. Without the correct medical knowledge and experience the average American could misdiagnosis a condition and do more harm than good. Also, apps are made by separate companies and in some cases individuals. An app can be downloaded onto your phone and actually steal sensitive medical information if it is malicious.
These are all many reasons to stay away from medical apps. But that doesn't mean you have to spend hours waiting on hold to speak to your doctor's office. Several area hospitals, including the nationally recognized Sentara Healthcare, based in Norfolk, VA, have online programs that allow you to use your home computer or smartphone to check test results, order refills of prescription medications, schedule appointments and leave notes for your doctor.
Other useful health apps help you track your calorie intake and exercise programs. So, although we are not ready for the futuristic Star Trek sick bay, we can do more than ever with the help of medical technology.

The Cabinet has approved the mega US$ 4 billion Industrial Park in
Sampur, Trincomalee proposed to be set up by the Singapore based Gateway
Minister of Investment Promotions Lakshman
Yapa Abeywardena yesterday told the media that the 818 acres, in
Sampur, was given to the Singaporean Developer, who was awaiting
clearance by several authorities to pump in US$ 700 million during the
first two years.
The developer has so far invested US$ 10
million, according to the minister and was seeking approvals from
several relevant authorities including environmental coastal.
to the BOI, the approvals are expected to be completed during the next
few months and the BOI was ambitious to commence the development.
mega project, which would be completed in three phases, in seven
years, after the necessary approvals have been obtained, would
facilitate heavy industries, mainly from Singapore and would
self-facilitate infrastructure and other requirements for operations
without the government having to provide them.
investment of USD 700 million, within the first two years, would be
followed by a USD 1.3 billion injection to develop infrastructure,
education and other facilities to support the industries. That would be
followed by a further USD 02 billion capital infusion coming from
industries to be set up there.
After the project approval
and the procedure followed to grant Singapore's Gateway the 818-acre
land on a 50-year lease agreement was questioned by the Opposition, on
moral grounds, Minister Abeywardena submitted the project proposal to
parliament for debate early this month (Sep 03).

A Framework for Reflecting on Assessment and Evaluation
(Headliner, Symposium 4: Assessment Strategies)
Glen S. Aikenhead
Curriculum Studies
University of Saskatchewan
Saskatoon, SK, S7N 0X1
Published in
Globalization of Science Education: International Conference on Science Education
(pages 195-199 )
Seoul, Korea
May 26-30, 1997
Organized by the Korean Education Development Institute
Co-Sponsored by ICASE and UNESCO
Prof. Black's (1997) highly informative presentation addressed many significant issues in assessment and evaluation. He explored this wide array of problems and solutions with his feet firmly planted in the pragmatic reality of teachers in less-than-ideal classrooms working within the dictates of national politics and cultures.
My paper arises form the need to put his ideas into one framework so I can better understand
how the significant issues are interrelated; for example, how is validity related to "the
improvement of learning" as well as to "certification of students" and "the problem of equity
among students." The purpose of my paper is, therefore, to clarify the whole domain of
assessment and evaluation so that people from different nations may have a common framework
with which to clarify and communicate national differences in assessment and evaluation
Two Fundamental Concepts
Science educators often want their students to distinguish between observation and interpretation. To observe is to collect information about events, while to interpret is to make meaning of that information by drawing inferences or by judging the match between the information and some abstract pattern. The distinction between observation and interpretation, although sometimes difficult, leads to more precise critical thinking in science classes.
These two science concepts metaphorically define two concepts we use in education: observing students' work, and interpreting the worth of that work. However, a confusion arises, particularly in English, over what to name each concept. Some educators, by convention, use the same term for both concepts. This would tend to force one to equate the methods of collecting data with the methods of interpreting those data. This can cause problems. Recently, the convention in Canada is to refer to the act of collecting student work as assessment and the act of judging that collection of work as evaluation. Conventions in other English speaking countries may have other definitions for those terms. I notice that Prof. Black consistently uses the term "assessment" throughout his paper, although the term "evaluation" does appear.
The distinction between assessment and evaluation helped me understand Prof. Black's quotation from Messick (1989, p. 13), the quotation that defined validity. The Canadian convention recognizes Messick's definition of validity as simply the adequacy and appropriateness of the evaluation of students. The Canadian convention allowed me to think about another topic not addressed by Messick's definition, the validity of student assessment. Obviously we are concerned about the consistency between assessment techniques and evaluative judgements, but this does not mean that we should necessarily use the same concept of validity for both assessment and evaluation. Similarly, our thinking might be sharpened if we discuss summative versus formative evaluation in the context of judgements made about student work, and not confuse our thinking with summative and formative assessment (monitoring student work).
The distinction between assessment and evaluation also guides our thinking about student
participation. Prof. Black discussed the advantages and problems of "pupil self-assessment."
These could be clarified by making the distinction between self-assessment and self-evaluation.
Almost all students can engage in self-assessment (helping to decide what information should be
collected and being largely responsible for collecting it), whereas problems can ensue when
students are expected to engage in self-evaluation (as Prof. Black described).
A Framework for Assessment and Evaluation
Because educational assessment and evaluation fall within the domain of social science, we can turn to the social sciences to clarify what we do in education. For instance, Habermas (1971, p. 308) recognized that the social sciences were comprised of three different orientations (or paradigms): the empirical-analytic, the interpretive, and the critical-theoretic. These three paradigms represent the complete domain of assessment and evaluation (Ryan, 1988). Rather than focusing narrowly on a two-category system -- traditional versus alternatives -- Ryan expands our thinking by adding a third category (critical-theoretic) that has direct implications for reform. The three paradigms will serve as a framework for thinking about assessment and evaluation.
Ryan (1988) described Habermas's three orientations in terms of assessment and evaluation paradigms as follows:
2. Interpretive: understanding students' language, concepts, and actions from the point of view of the student. Alternative assessment techniques such as portfolios and concept mapping illustrate this paradigm.
3. Critical-theoretic: the elimination of oppressive human relationships (oppressive is defined in terms of forced assimilation). Two examples would be: assessment rubrics for thoughtful decision making developed collaboratively between teacher and students, and student self-evaluation.
Prof. Black addressed issues in all three paradigms. For example, he discussed (1) the issue of standardized tests, which falls within the empirical-analytic paradigm; (2) the issue of formative assessment, which is clearly within the interpretive paradigm; and (3) the issues of equity and student empowerment, both of which fit primarily within the critical-theoretic paradigm. We must be able to function eclectically in all three paradigms. For the sake of clear thinking, however, we should not lose sight of the paradigm we are in, at any given moment.
An advantage to using a three-paradigm framework is its ability to locate certain assessment and
evaluation issues within specific paradigms. When we locate an issue (e.g. validity) within a
paradigm, we can connect that issue with other issues (e.g. purposes of education) within that
same paradigm. In addition, we can explore the different meanings of the same issue (e.g.
validity) across different paradigms, thereby recognizing that some disagreements between
educators may arise from the fact that the educators are functioning within different paradigms.
By identifying those paradigms we clarify our discussions of assessment and evaluation. Several
topics are mentioned below to illustrate the power of the proposed framework.
Purposes of Assessment and Evaluation
When Prof. Black stated that there were "three main purposes of assessment in education" (certification, policy development, and serving teaching and learning), I interpreted him as saying:
Within the empirical-analytic paradigm, it is important to consider student certification and the development of educational policy; while within the interpretive paradigm, it is important to consider what knowledge, skills, and values students are actually learning.
Given all three paradigms to consider, we could include yet another "main purpose of education" for discussion, one within the critical-theoretic paradigm (e.g. to ensure that families of higher social economic status are privileged over families with less status).
Alternatively, purposes of assessment and evaluation could be discussed in terms of (1) the
social control of schools (the empirical-analytic paradigm), (2) the improvement of teaching (the
interpretive paradigm), and the empowerment of students (the critical-theoretic paradigm).
The three-paradigm framework can draw our attention to issues that may otherwise go missing
in our discussion of assessment and evaluation. Perhaps Champagne and Newell (1992) had
these three paradigms in mind when they analyzed the assessment of scientific literacy in terms
of technical issues, pedagogical issues, and social/political/cultural issues; issues that fall within
the empirical-analytic, the interpretive, and the critical-theoretic paradigms, respectively.
Purposes of Science Education
The purpose of education in a nation's schools varies from country to country. However, rational
action in any country depends on the consistency between a nation's purpose of education and
the paradigm of assessment and evaluation embraced by its education authority. Within the
empirical-analytic paradigm, the purpose of science education has been to identify and nurture
(through competition) the elite student. The alternative, science education for all students
(UNESCO, 1994), belongs to both the interpretive and critical-theoretic paradigms. The idea of
reforming a nation's science education to "science for all" requires us to shift paradigms, away
from the empirical-analytic paradigm whenever we engage in assessment and evaluation
practices. When Prof. Black discussed, for instance, formative assessment or student
self-evaluation, he was outside the empirical-analytic paradigm. Therefore, his ideas would be
consistent with the other two paradigms, for example, his ideas would enhance a science-for-all
curriculum, but would not be useful to a science-for-the-elite curriculum.
Outcome Focus
Different paradigms will direct us to assess different instructional outcomes. The empirical-analytic paradigm focuses on the product of instruction, the student's tangible work.
Prof. Black points out the value gained by also considering how the student produced the product, that is, the process. The interpretive paradigm focuses on both the product and process of instructional outcomes.
There is a third aspect to consider, the one embraced by the critical-theoretic paradigm of
assessment and evaluation: context. The cultural or social context in which assessment takes
place has a great influence on both the process and product of a student's work. Prof. Black
alluded to this issue of context when he discussed the reliability of performance assessments.
The critical-theoretic paradigm focuses on product, process, and context of instructional
Champagne and Newell (1992) discussed validity in three different ways, each corresponding to a different Habermas paradigm. Within the empirical-analytic paradigm, a psychometric viewpoint was adopted, where validity is based on spreading out student scores in a technical rational defensible way. On the other hand, within the interpretive paradigm, a pedagogical viewpoint was assumed, with a focus on improving teaching and learning. And lastly, within the critical-theoretic paradigm, a political-social viewpoint on validity was held. It can lead to various criteria of validity, depending upon the culture: screen students into winners and losers (e.g. science for the elite), equity of opportunity (e.g. science for all), or social control over schools.
Often, discussions of psychometric validity mask the real concern for social control over schools. Social control relates to the purpose of assessment and evaluation in the empirical-analytic paradigm. In other words, we should recognize that psychometric validity sustains a social-control purpose because they both belong to the same paradigm, and thus we might choose to challenge a narrow discussion of psychometric validity in order to uncover issues of purpose.
Messick (1989) defined validity (quoted by Prof. Black) in a way that corresponds to the
empirical-analytic paradigm. Having identified the paradigm in which Messick's definition
functions, we need a definition applicable to the other paradigms. A definition within the
interpretive paradigm was presented by Aikenhead and Ryan (1992, p. 487), a definition that
distills to trustworthiness -- the trust that one educator or researcher has for the work of another.
Eclectically, we need to draw upon both paradigms' definitions, as we shift paradigms to meet
the needs of the particular moment.
Scientific Literacy
The assessment and evaluation of scientific literacy has traditionally been conducted well within the empirical-analytic paradigm. Student responses are either right or wrong, with little interpretation and little consideration for context. Scores are standardized against such norms as statistical distributions or judgments by panels of experts. Assessment tends to be confounded with evaluation, thereby merging the two concepts into one.
An alternative type of instrument that operates within the interpretive paradigm was developed by Aikenhead and Ryan (1992). By collaborating with students, the researchers developed an empirically based, multiple-choice, assessment instrument. The empirical basis consisted of the students' work itself. As a consequence, students are generally able to express their personal and reasoned viewpoints in their own language when they respond to this instrument.
In some environmental education programs, teachers monitor the degree to which students' take
social action on an issue. This activist orientation technique belongs to the critical-theoretic
As Champagne and Newell (1992) point out, certain cultures demand that assessment be
simplistic, competitive, and unidimensional in order to distinguish winners from losers. Tests in
those cultures are designed "on the assumption that knowledge can be represented by an
accumulation of bits of information and that there is one right answer" (p. 846). On the other
hand, "alternative assessment is based on the assumption that knowledge is actively constructed
by the child and varies from one context to another" (p. 847). We can now identify these two
positions as exemplifying the empirical-analytic and interpretive paradigms, respectively.
Moreover, using the three-paradigm framework, we can now ask ourselves the question, "What
does the critical-theoretic paradigm say about knowledge?" This question leads to other issues
such as: whose knowledge is privileged in the assessment? whose social interactions have
cultural capital? whose goals define the criteria for evaluation and how are these goals
established? These issues are discussed by O'Loughlin (1992).

If we all remember behind to a Nintendo Switch launch, there was one standout pretension among few that unequivocally carried a day.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of a Wild started off as one of a highest-rated games of a final few years, usually to eventually penetrate behind other vital titles from a past.
On Metacritic, Zelda Breath of a Wild is still a best-rated pretension on a Nintendo Switch games list, nonetheless that could change really soon.
That's since most like with Link's progressing adventure, a initial examination for Super Mario Odyssey has launched and it's perfect.
EDGE Magazine has given a new Super Mario Switch pretension a 10/10, that isn't something it does regularly.
In fact, this will be a 20th time EDGE have given such a score, one of a final being for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of a Wild.

When Dave Chappelle walked away from a lucrative deal with Comedy Central, some figured he had lost his mind.
After all, Chappelle's Show was more than on the uptick after just two seasons. It was the talk of the entertainment industry, and Chappelle was the new price of stand-up and sketch comedy. He pushed an envelope few pushed in the mainstream. The show was lightning in a bottle, something most comedians only dream about. But, Chappelle says it all came with fame, and fame comes with strings.
"Fame is a horrifying concept when it's aimed at you, you know?" Chappelle told CBS News. "At the end of the day, you don't have that much control over it. You just try to conduct yourself as best you can."
While Charlie Murphy, Donnell Rawlings, and Mos Def played integral roles, sketches were largely framed around main characters played by Chappelle. His portrayal of Rick James in "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories" still resonates with fans. It also made Chappelle realize the show was spinning him in an unwanted direction.
WATCH NOW: Dave Chappelle talks to @CBSThisMorning's @GayleKing on leaving his show, his comeback & price of fame https://t.co/7OWIVvYHkH pic.twitter.com/7y0tyNAvVw
— CBS News (@CBSNews) March 20, 2017
It got to the point where he no longer got normal "hellos" or traditional requests for photos or autographs. Instead, fans yelled things like, "I'm Rick James!" while expecting him to return the favor. Chappelle now has strict rules for those attending his comedy shows: no cell phones, no photography, and no heckling. In other words, requests for quips of old are not tolerated. And he means business, too. Last month, a couple was thrown out of a Chappelle set in Sarasota, Florida, after repeatedly insisting for him to say famous lines from the show.
It has been more than a decade and Dave Chappelle is still separating himself from what made him an industry icon. However, there are new jokes from an older, healthier comedian, who credits walking away from a $50 million payday one of the best decisions of his life.
No, he didn't seek psychological help in Africa. Chappelle was not contemplating suicide or battling addiction. He sought only normalcy, a family life outside of the comedic fishbowl.
"I'm like 40 pounds heavier than I was when I did 'Chappelle's Show,'" he told CBS News ahead of his three-part stand-up special on Netflix that premiers Tuesday. "And people are like, 'How did you gain all that weight?' By resting and eatin' and payin' attention to myself. I have actual relationships with my kids. I've been all over the country, touring all my life. But I never saw anything. Now I've seen everything."
As for new material, Chappelle still broaches racism, current events and other celebrities.

Like others before him, namely Jerry Seinfeld, Chappelle is a comedian first, and has always been content with doing stand up–working when he chose to work. When the show begged another season, Dave Chappelle chose to rest.
But, Chappelle, now 43, knew he wouldn't stay in the shadows forever. The son of college professors has been doing comedy since he was 14.
Making is film debut in 1993's Robin Hood: Men in Tights, he landed several minor roles while co-writing Half Baked (1998) with Neal Brennan. Four years later, the duo began penning the first season of Chappelle's Show.
On January 22, 2003, the show premiered with Chappelle playing Clayton Bigsby, the black white supremacist. The season continued to spoof stories involving R. Kelly, Girls Gone Wild, and Roots to raved reviews. The second season included bumbling drug addict Tyrone Biggums and Chappelle as Rick James and Prince.
Season 3 was halted at after three episodes.
The Netflix shows were filmed in Los Angeles and Austin, Texas. The special is the first stand-up event since 2004.

Hello all
It's me again, with a shout for some advice and clarity.
I'm on day 50, very pleased with myself, managed to kick the habit with gum and willpower. I can see the obvious changes, like I can run further, I smell better, my teeth are whiter. I am just getting around to think that even my insides must be starting to repair themselves slighty.
Now heres the issue, I've just found out that a guy I used to know not a friend or anything, just a bloke I used to play football with has died, similiar age to me (42). Now I know this guy has never smoked in his life and I'm beginning to think why am I doing this and whats the point in packing in.
I used to think that I'm doing this for me, my wife and kids, I want to spend more time with them, however since I heard this news, I just think if your numbers up it's up, this guy has no more time for his wife and kids.
I think I must be on a bit of a downer and hearing that news has took me lower and I'm now thinking as the title says Why am I doing this? What is the point!!!
