Creativity techniquesCreativity techniques are methods that encourage creative actions, whether in the arts or sciences. They focus on a variety of aspects of creativity, including techniques for idea generation and divergent thinking, methods of re-framing problems, changes in the affective environment and so on. They can be used as part of problem solving, artistic expression, or therapy. Some techniques require groups of two or more people while other techniques can be accomplished alone.
Système visuel humainLe est l'ensemble des organes participant à la perception visuelle humaine, de la rétine au système sensori-moteur. Son rôle est de percevoir et d'interpréter deux images en deux dimensions en une image en trois dimensions. Il est principalement constitué de l'œil (et plus particulièrement la rétine), des nerfs optiques, du chiasma optique, du tractus optique, du corps genouillé latéral, des radiations optiques et du cortex visuel. En première approximation, l'œil peut être assimilé à un appareil photographique.
Situated learningSituated learning is a theory that explains an individual's acquisition of professional skills and includes research on apprenticeship into how legitimate peripheral participation leads to membership in a community of practice. Situated learning "takes as its focus the relationship between learning and the social situation in which it occurs". The theory is distinguished from alternative views of learning which define learning as the acquisition of propositional knowledge.
Situated cognitionSituated cognition is a theory that posits that knowing is inseparable from doing by arguing that all knowledge is situated in activity bound to social, cultural and physical contexts. Situativity theorists suggest a model of knowledge and learning that requires thinking on the fly rather than the storage and retrieval of conceptual knowledge. In essence, cognition cannot be separated from the context. Instead knowing exists, in situ, inseparable from context, activity, people, culture, and language.
History of lute-family instrumentsLutes are stringed musical instruments that include a body and "a neck which serves both as a handle and as a means of stretching the strings beyond the body". The lute family includes not only short-necked plucked lutes such as the lute, oud, pipa, guitar, citole, gittern, mandore, rubab, and gambus and long-necked plucked lutes such as banjo, tanbura, bağlama, bouzouki, veena, theorbo, archlute, pandura, sitar, tanbur, setar, but also bowed instruments such as the yaylı tambur, rebab, erhu, and the entire family of viols and violins.
Culture populaireLa culture populaire, parfois abrégée en « pop culture », représente une forme de culture dont la principale caractéristique est d'être produite et appréciée par le plus grand nombre, à l'opposé d'une culture élitiste ou avant-gardiste qui ne toucherait qu'une partie aisée et/ou instruite de la population. Elle ne doit pas être confondue avec la culture de masse ou la culture médiatique.
Open textbookAn open textbook is a textbook licensed under an open license, and made available online to be freely used by students, teachers and members of the public. Many open textbooks are distributed in either print, e-book, or audio formats that may be downloaded or purchased at little or no cost. Part of the broader open educational resources movement, open textbooks increasingly are seen as a solution to challenges with traditionally published textbooks, such as access and affordability concerns.
