You have found a journal article for your assignment;
the abstract of the article is below.

Read the abstract and answer the question below.

There are increasing policy debates on the efficacy of universal basic income (UBI)
within both political and academic circles. These debates have emerged as a response
to failures of the welfare state on the one hand, and the threat to employment
posed by increasing automation on the other. While issues surrounding
introduction and maintenance of the UBI have been explored at some length in
sociological and political science literature, economics as a discipline has
been slow to enter this discussion. This paper applies a new institutional
economic framework to explore the effects of UBI on the economy as well as
broader social effects. It shows that while the costs of implementation and the
threat of work disincentives are greater than has previously been indicated,
the benefits of introducing a UBI far outweigh the drawbacks, particularly when an
ongoing decrease in manual and middle class jobs due to automation is assumed.
Implications for welfare and social policy are explored.

for your assignment?

Read the abstract and answer the question below.

This study seeks to
explore the educational affordances and constraints of English language teacher
robots in Korea. With small but increasing use of AIs in service industries,
there is a growing literature on the impact of robots and AI on everyday social
interactions in a number of contexts; however, the effects of robots and AIs in
educational contexts remain relatively unexplored. This study used ethnographic
means to explore the impact of English language teacher robots in 3 primary
school settings in Korea. It combined ethnographic non-participant observation
with interviews to look at how language teaching could be technologically
supported, drawing on the workplace studies of Heath and Luff (2000) to look at
how the use of technologically-mediated language instruction offered a new
range of affordances and constraints to both students and teachers.
Implications for language pedagogy and curriculum development are explored.

Student’s
paraphrase

The growing use of AI in society does not preclude job
growth. There are those that argue that, instead, the use of AI will lead to
new forms of employment. For example, because machine learning systems have
already become far too complicated for ordinary people to understand or fix,
there will be new jobs that will emerge which will require people who can act
as mediators between AI systems and humans (Bollegala, 2016).

Dear
Dr Archer,

My
name is Kosta Poulos and I am a student in your APPSCI 102 course Exercise
Science 2. I am writing to inform you that I will unfortunately be late to
tomorrow’s tutorial. I am a member of the Cronulla Sharks under-21s third grade
side, and we are currently 2nd on the league table. However, we have
an important game on Saturday with the no. 1 team, and because of this we will
have a late training session the night before. The training session will run
late, and I have never been good at waking up early, so I will need to sleep
in. As a result I will be late to the tutorial. If there’s anything important
that I will miss, could you please let me know somehow. Thank you for your understanding.

Best
regards,

Kosta

Q9. Consider the following post on a reflection/debate
forum in an Education subject.

Discussion question: What is your view on Vygotsky’s
notion of the zone of proximal development? Can you relate it to any examples
in your own life?

Student 109573: I think Vygotsky’s (1930) notion of
proximal development is a great way to understand education and how we might
better support learning. It also moves away from a very individual or cognitive
notion of education towards a more social model. It also gives greater
importance to the role of teachers or other experts in children’s development
compared to other thinkers such as Piaget (1926), where the emphasis is much
more on the individual development of the child. It is also certainly evident
in my life, particularly in learning Chinese. I grew up in a large country town
with almost no Chinese people in it, so I was unable to learn Chinese
naturally. However my Chinese high school teacher effectively scaffolded my
Chinese language learning so that I took it as subject in my university entrance
exams. Without that scaffolding I would never have reached that level of use or
expertise.

not?

• Yes,
  it is well-written.

Student 285727: I agree. Vygotsky’s (1930) ZPD idea is
very useful. I think of my soccer training in relation to this. My coach used
to mix up the younger players with the older players so that the younger
players could learn from the more experienced players.
