notional

Examples of notional in the following topics:

• Summary

  • The kind of equivalence expressed by the notion of automorphism falls between structural and regular equivalence, in a sense.
  • The notion of structural equivalence corresponds well to analyses focusing on how individuals are embedded in networks -- or network positional analysis.
  • The notion of regular equivalence focuses our attention on classes of actors, or "roles" rather than individuals or groups.

• Teaching for Conceptual Change

  • Because learners have relied on these existing notions to understand and function in their world, they may not easily discard their ideas and adopt a new way of thinking.
  • That is, learners must become dissatisfied with their current conceptions and accept an alternative notion as intelligible, plausible, and fruitful.

• Introduction to Landscapes

  • What we intend to develop is the notion that mathematical concepts, such as number, can and should be defined differently depending upon the level of students that teachers are working with.

• Precise Definition of a Limit

  • The $(\varepsilon,\delta)$-definition of limit (the "epsilon-delta definition") is a formalization of the notion of limit.
  • The $(\varepsilon,\delta)$-definition of limit ("epsilon-delta definition of limit") is a formalization of the notion of limit.
  • The $(\varepsilon,\delta)$-definition of limit is a formalization of the notion of limit.

• Inequalities of Work

  • This explanation of the pay gap invokes the notion of the pink-collar worker.
  • The larger schema into which the gender pay gap fits is the notion of a "glass ceiling" for women in the workplace.
  • Certainly, the pay gap and other economic issues play into the notion of a glass ceiling, but the term also refers to more general power dynamics.

• Transactional Versus Transformational Leaders

  • Transactional leaders appeal to the self-interest of employees who seek out rewards for themselves, in contrast to transformational leaders, who appeal to group interests and notions of organizational success.
  • Transactional leadership is more akin to the common notions of management, whereas transformational leadership adheres more closely to what is colloquially referred to as leadership.

• Series

  • As there are an infinite number of terms, this notion is often called an infinite series.
  • Unlike finite summations, infinite series need tools from mathematical analysis, specifically the notion of limits, to be fully understood and manipulated.

• Levinson

  • Research in this field questions not only whether development ceases after adolescence, but also the notion, popularized by many gerontologists, that a decline occurs after late adolescence.
  • Research in Positive Adult Development questions not only whether development ceases after adolescence, but also the notion, popularized by many gerontologists, that a decline occurs after late adolescence.

• Introduction to the t distribution for the difference of two means

  • For instance, a teacher might like to test the notion that two versions of an exam were equally difficult.

• Vygotsky's Theories

  • Unlike Piaget's notion that children's development must necessarily precede their learning, Vygotsky argued, "learning is a necessary and universal aspect of the process of developing culturally organized, specifically human psychological function" (1978, p. 90).
