Expect the Unexpected: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and the Creation of a Double Audience by Isabelle Licari-Guillaume

A Reflection on the Current State of Active Learning Research by Amedee Marchand Martella, Darryl Schneider

“…Although the large volume of active learning research has provided a myriad of ways to implement active learning in the classroom, the construct remains underdeveloped and difficult to operationalize because of three main issues in the research literature: (a) the variation in active learning activities in research and in practice; (b) the dichotomy between active learning and lecture; and (c) whether “active” in active learning refers to behavioral activity, cognitive activity, or both. The purpose of this reflection article is to articulate these issues so that active learning can move beyond its current status as a “curious construct.” …”

Bursting Oscillations in Shimizu-Morioka System with Slow-Varying Periodic Excitation by Xindong Ma, Shuqian Cao

“…Second, complicated dynamic behaviors are analyzed when the slow-varying parameter passes through different bifurcation points, of which the mechanisms of four different bursting patterns, namely, symmetric “homoclinic/homoclinic” bursting oscillation, symmetric “fold/Hopf” bursting oscillation, symmetric “fold/fold” bursting oscillation, and symmetric “Hopf/Hopf” bursting oscillation via “fold/fold” hysteresis loop, are revealed with different values of the parameter b by means of the transformed phase portrait. …”
