International audience; In this paper we analyzed a mathematician’s journals of 5-day teaching episodes on eigenvalues and eigenvectors in a first-year linear algebra course, as well as his students’ responses to a survey. We employed Tall’s (2013) three world model, to follow the mathematician’s and his students’ movements between the three worlds. The study revealed that despite the mathematician’s efforts in demonstrating a more holistic view of the concepts, many students found linear algebra very abstract and gravitated more toward symbolic thinking.

Anti-intellectualism is widely seen as a feature of the modern mass media, but it is also widely accepted that much debate about ideas occurs through the mass media and that, for example, the mass media has been the prime vehicle for public intellectuals. In this paper, we examine this paradox and argue that there is a strong case that journalism, or parts of it, can be regarded as a form of intellectual practice. We do this by reference to a case study that examines the journalism of commentary and opinion and its use in fashioning a political and social agenda. This concerns Donald Horne's use of the magazines The Observer and the Bulletin to develop a public debate about Australian politics, society and culture. From this debate emerged the book The lucky country (1964) that set an agenda for public debate for at least 10 years.

This research aims to identify and discuss the reasons of why the Qatari based channel Al-Jazeera opens its air to terrorist organizations, particularly Al-Qaida and its leader Osama ben Ladin, and transmits their messages. To do so, based on critical media/ cultural study approach, which allows the researcher to narrate and analyze the data in a comprehensive way, this research has been contextualized by providing a literature about the nature of relationship between media and terrorism. The data of this research about Al-Jazeera, terrorism and Al-Qaida are gleaned basically from books, academic journals and conference proceedings. However, the findings of this research are the conclusion extracted as result of the discussed materials.
