A mentoring mindset (Meddylfryd mentora)

...central role in the dialogue between coach and coachee, as questions may be used to draw out ideas and actions (Fletcher, 2012). Use of open questions can support the practice of reflecting on a learning experience. Offering solutions should be avoided by the coach.

Quantitative and qualitative research in finance

The aim is to document the perspectives, activities or practices of people, to understand these in their contexts, and to explain their character, causes, and/or consequences, relying primarily on verbal forms of analysis.

Understanding ADHD

...central to most investigations. Dopamine, along with serotonin and noradrenalin, is one of the monoamine transmitters.

Primary science: supporting children’s learning

...central role in Hindustani classical music, although it may comprise relatively little of what a singer actually sings in the course of performance. This may seem confusing initially – what else, other than song, would a singer sing?

Exploring philosophy: faking nature

...centrally concerned with the key issue of authenticity. The issues of restoration and authenticity raise a number of key questions: Can damage ever be made right? Can restoration ever make anything ‘as good as it was before’? When a piece of nature or a damaged building is restored, does it become something authentic, or is it a fake? Can nature or buildings ever be...
