Assumptions,conjectures, and other miracles: The application of evaluative thinking to theory of change models in community development

Unexamined and unjustified assumptions are the Achilles’ heel of development programs. In this paper, we describe an evaluation capacity building (ECB) approach designed to help community development practitioners work more effectively with assumptions through the intentional infusion of evaluative thinking (ET) into the program planning, monitoring, and evaluation process. We focus specifically on one component of our ET promotion approach involving the creation and analysis of theory of change (ToC) models. We describe our recent efforts to pilot this ET ECB approach with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) in Ethiopia and Zambia. The use of ToC models, plus the addition of ET, is a way to encourage individual and organizational learning and adaptive management that supports more reflective and responsive programming.

Introductory Statistics Textbooks and the GAISE Recommendations

The six recommendations made by the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) committee were first communicated in 2005 and more formally in 2010. In this article, 25 introductory statistics textbooks are examined to assess how well these textbooks have incorporated the three GAISE recommendations most relevant to implementation in textbooks (statistical literacy and thinking; use of real data; stress concepts over procedures). The implementation of another recommendation (using technology) is described but not assessed. In general, most textbooks appear to be adopting the GAISE recommendations reasonably well in both exposition and exercises. The textbooks are particularly adept at using real data, using real data well, and promoting statistical literacy. Textbooks are less adept—but still rated reasonably well, in general—at explaining concepts over procedures and promoting statistical thinking. In contrast, few textbooks have easy-usable glossaries of statistical terms to assist with understanding of statistical language and literacy development. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.     

论逻辑思维与创新

逻辑是研究逻辑思维形式及其规律的一门古老的学科，而创新是到现在才提出的一个新名词，两者的结合是对科学的发展起到非常重大的作用。许多的思想家都在将思维的注意力瞄准了人类思维自身．力求揭示思维过程中的固有规律，以约束或规范人类思维交流与创新的过程。创新思维的能力又是逻辑思维的精髓和核心。没有逻辑思维中的创新能力，就没有实践中的创新。人类所创造的一切物质文明和精神文明无不得益于逻辑思维。所以，任何创新都必须遵循客观规律和逻辑法则，违反逻辑不可能有任何真正的创新。

“生态整体主义”对文学批评的意义

“生态整体主义”对文学批评的意义表现在文学批评标准和文学批评理论思维方式这两个方面；是对这两个方面可能存在的“中心论”与“二元论”的超越!只有不预设中心，才能平等对待不同的文学批评对象；只有将线性的、孤立的、有序的思维拓展到整体论的、复杂性的思维，文学批评才可能具有创新意味。
