Technological advancementsTechnologies. People often ask, what exactly do you mean by “breakthrough”? It’s a reasonable question—some of our picks haven’t yet reached widespread use, while others may be on the cusp of becoming commercially available. What we’re really looking for is a technology, or perhaps even a collection of technologies, that will have a profound effect on our lives. For this year, a new technique in artificial intelligence called GANs is giving machines imagination; artificial embryos, despite some thorny ethical constraints, are redefining how life can be created and are opening a research window into the early moments of a human life; and a pilot plant in the heart of Texas’s petrochemical industry is attempting to create completely clean power from natural gas—probably a major energy source for the foreseeable future. These and the rest of our list will be worth keeping an eye on.By: Vijaya Super adminWednesday, May 12, 2021AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS+3

Educational researchCross-national Studies Educational research which crosses national boundaries offers much promise for generating new insights for at least two reasons (Aldridge et al. 1999). First, there usually is greater variation in variables of interest (e.g., teaching methods, student attitudes) in a sample drawn from multiple countries than from a one-country sample. Second, the taken-for-granted familiar educational practices, beliefs, and attitudes in one country can be exposed, made ‘strange,’ and questioned when research involves two countries. In a recent cross-national study, six Australian and seven Taiwanese researchers worked together on a study of classroom climate. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/social-sciences/educational-researchBy: Lorell SandiWednesday, May 12, 2021HEALTH AND NUTRITION+1

Perceptions of EducatorsIntroduction As McCrary (2001, p.29) remarked, “music educators and researchers should be tireless in their efforts when seeking answers to vitally important questions [including] are we providing outstanding music experiences that foster life-long participation in music”? Research evidence supports the benefits of musical participation across the lifespan. This includes intellectual transfer effects in earlier life (Henriksson-Macaulay and Welch, 2015; Williams et al., 2015) as well as broader benefits to socio-emotional and physical health and well-being into old age (Krause et al., 2018). Accordingly, the present research asks: What are the music educators’ practices for promoting on-going musical engagement? Are there practices appropriate to different forms of music education that serve different cultural contexts and life stages?By: Lorell SandiWednesday, May 12, 2021AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS+2
