The conjoint analysis evaluated preferences for 5 carpet cleaner attributes among 10 individuals. Package design and price were found to be the most important factors. Factor analysis was conducted on vehicle sales data to identify underlying factors. Based on a scree plot, two factors accounting for over 80% of variance were identified as important: price, engine size, and related variables loaded highly onto one factor.

The future isn't what it used to be: Tourism Developments in South Africa Pos...kackermann
The document discusses key developments affecting the future of South Africa's tourism industry. It notes that tourism numbers are down due to the global recession, rising costs, and overcapacity since the 2010 World Cup. However, it also outlines opportunities for growth through investing in infrastructure, addressing land issues, focusing on regional and domestic tourism, and promoting rural and less visited areas. It argues that while there is uncertainty, the tourism industry must be innovative to stay competitive during these interesting times of change.

Este documento proporciona un resumen histórico de la educación en México. Comienza describiendo la educación prehispánica en las culturas mesoamericanas, incluyendo los templos-escuelas. Luego describe la educación durante la colonia y la introducción de la educación laica después de la revolución mexicana. Finalmente, discute los períodos de la educación socialista bajo Cárdenas y el énfasis en la unidad nacional después de la segunda guerra mundial.
El documento describe tres modelos y tendencias actuales en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje: 1) el aprendizaje basado en problemas, que se centra en resolver problemas de la vida real; 2) el aprendizaje cooperativo, que involucra dividir a los estudiantes en grupos pequeños para trabajar juntos; y 3) la cognición situada, que sostiene que el conocimiento se adquiere mejor en el contexto en que se aplica.

El documento resume las principales corrientes pedagógicas de Ausubel, Freinet, Vigotsky, Dewey y Piaget. Ausubel propuso que el aprendizaje es significativo cuando se relaciona con los conocimientos previos del estudiante. Freinet desarrolló técnicas que atienden las necesidades infantiles. Vigotsky consideró que el aprendizaje depende de la interacción social. Dewey promovió una educación basada en la experiencia. Piaget identificó cuatro etapas del desarrollo cognitivo infantil.
