To Type or to Write, That Is the Question
At the highest level of learning, should you type or
write by hand?
[1] Research by Mueller and Oppenheimer (2014)
compared students who typed lecture notes on laptops
with those who wrote them by hand during the same time.
[2] In terms of immediate results, laptop users typed and
recorded more words during the lectures, and their notes
were aimost word-for-word transcripts of the lectures. The
initial assumption was that this would ultimately be
beneficial for these students compared with those who
were handwriting their notes.
[3] After the lectures, the two groups of students in this
study were tested on the information presented. The
results showed that students who wrote by hand during
lectures scored significantly higher on the tests than those
who typed.
[4] The immediate question was: "Why was this the case?"
Muelier and Oppenheimer (2014) found that students who
handwrote their notes were consistently engaged in higherlevel thinking. This meant that throughout their lectures,
these students were actively listening and intellectually
analyzing what to record. This led to higher knowledge-based outcomes.
[5] Luo et al. (2018) found that handwritten notes contained
more meaningful content (such as deeper thought and
greater intellectual structure), resulting in higher scores on
knowledge-based tests.
[6] Morehead et al. (2019) confirmed that the benefits of
handwriting are most evident when students are assessed
on higher-order conceptual understanding rather than on
memorizing facts.
[7] These studies confirm that handwriting is an essential
cognitive process and a highly beneficial intellectual
activity that enhances learning at advanced levels of
education and that begins from the first day of school and
continues thereafter.
Handwriting Helps to Advance Knowledge and
Enhance Ideas
[8] This evidence from university classrooms illustrates a
broader principle: handwriting for note-taking is a deeper
thinking skill. When students write by hand, they actively
select and synthesize information.
[9] This process requires them to decide what is essential,
how ideas connect, and how best to represent them in their
own words. The research indicates that this type of
engagement develops, advances, and enhances critical
thinking (defined as the ability to analyze, evaluate, and
make reasoned, detailed judgments), because handwriting
forces students to process information conceptually rather
than transcribe it verbatim.
[10] The research also indicates that this process helps to
develop higher-order thinking, which involves analyzing,
applying, synthesizing, and evaluating information. This
then develops a deeper knowledge potential. Additionally, as confirmed by classroom studies and evidence from
neuroscience, handwriting activates broader brain
networks than typing.
[11] Building on this, some studies explain that the ongoing
substitution of handwriting by typewriting in almost every
educational setting may seem somewhat misguided, as it
could negatively affect the learning process.
[12] However, Van der Weel and Van der Meer (2024)
emphasise the importance of staying current in this everchanging digital world. With this in mind, they state that
children must, first and foremost, learn handwriting. Only
after they are absoiutely proficient, especially at complex
narrative handwriting, should typing be considered.
(Adapted from: https://www.psychologytoday.com)
In the extract "the ongoing substitution of handwriting by
typewriting in almost every educational setting may seem
somewhat misquided" (paragraph 11), the word
"misquided" means:

New Al System could prevent vessel collisions by
reducing dependence on ship Captain
Researchers at Texas A&M University have created an
intelligent Al system that can help prevent accidents and
collisions at sea. Named 'Ship Collision Avoidance of
Machine Learning and Radar Technology for Stationary
Entities and Avoidance', or SMART-SEA, the platform
works to decrease the dependence on ship captains.
The project team was led by Dr Mirjan Fürth, an assistant
professor of ocean engineering, who was awarded a
contract by the US Department of the Interior (DOI) and
the US Department of Energy (DOE) through the Ocean
Energy Safety Institute (OESI). It is not completely an
autonomous system, rather it provides 'a human-in-theloop', who gives real-time instructions based on maritime
traffic,weather and other factors.
This makes navigation safer and easier for the crew,
transiting crucial or dangerous waterways by providing
additional information and instructions. Collisions between
vessels and accidents like ships hitting stationary
structures like rigs or lighthouses are becoming common,
and most are caused by human error. This Al system will
help eliminate that, stated the project team.
Massive vessels have a lot of forward momentum that
their shipping distances are measured in miles rather than
metres. They also turn very slowly, meaning that any
collision has to factor in this slow movement while also
adjusting for sensor time lags, ocean current impacts and
several other factors.
The Al system has been developed keeping all the above-mentioned factors in mind and is extremely accurate. The
research team also said that the system combines raw
radar imaging data with machine learning, enabling it to
identify moving objects even in bad weather with limited
visibility.
The machine learning algorithm detects stationary objects
as well from a large distance. The system uses
computational fluid dynamics models and machine
learning, which have been previously trained on vessel
motions, the team added. The system does all of this
while complying with International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS).

Balancing Al and Critical Thinking for the Military Leaders
of Tomorrow
Al is becoming increasingly embedded in daily life,
transforming the way we work, communicate, and make
decisions. From virtual assistants and personalized
recommendations to smart home devices and automated
customer service, Al streamlines everyday tasks and
enhances convenience. As Al continues to evolve, its role
in our livelihoods will only expand, making it an essential
tool for productivity and innovation. Rather than resisting
this technology, we should embrace it. Al has the
potential to enhance and expand our knowledge, enabling
more informed decision-making.
For future military leaders, it is critical that education and
training prioritize independent thinking and decisive action
rather than an overreliance on Al-driven systems. Leaders
must develop the confidence to question Al outputs,
evaluate their accuracy, and consider multiple perspectives
before making informed decisions, rather than blindly
accepting computer-generated recommendations. Al
struggles in unpredictable, high-stakes environments
where training data is insufficient to cover every potential
contingency. Future conflicts will demand leaders who can
adapt in real time, assess emerging threats, and execute
decisions based on experience, judgment, and battlefield
awareness - not just what a computer system suggests. To
maintain a strategic edge and operational superiority,
military leaders must cultivate a disciplined decision-making process that integrates Al as a tool while ensuring
that human intuition, adaptability, and ethical reasoning
remain at the forefront of command decisions. Though the
possibilities of Al are vast and impressive, it is crucial to
remember that its role should not be replace, but to
complement human intelligence.
The rapid evolution of Al presents both a strategic
advantage and a formidable challenge in shaping the next
generation of military leaders. Al can enhance decisionmaking, optimize operations, and expand battlefield
awareness, yet it must remain a force multiplier - not a
replacement for human intellect. The true test of future
leadership lies in striking the right balance: leveraging Al's
capabilities while preserving the independent thought,
adaptability, and critical reasoning essential for command
in today's volatile geopolitical environment. In an era
where peer adversaries are racing to develop their own Aldriven strategies, our leaders must be prepared to
out-think, not just out-tech, the competition. Al should
sharpen human cognition, not dull it - because the future of
warfare will be won by those who can command both
machine intelligence and the power of the human mind.

FIFA’s exorbitant World Cup tickets could backfire
Gianni Infantino, the boss of the Fédération Internationale
de Football Association (FIFA), calls football’s governing body
the world’s provider of happiness. At the 2026 World Cup in
North America, that happiness comes at a price. The cheapest
tickets for group-stage games1
averaged $200; those for the
final went for higher than $2,000. The data presented in the
chart suggest this year’s World Cup is the most expensive
cultural event ever.
World Cup tickets are usually priced well below what the
market might accept. Throughout the tournament’s history
demand has tended to surpass supply. Rather than charge
more, FIFA has kept prices at levels ordinary fans could afford
and distributed seats through lotteries. Broadcasting and
sponsorship rights mattered far more to the organisation’s
finances than matchday receipts.
In 2026 it is different. For the first time FIFA has taken
direct control of ticketing, rather than outsourcing to local
organisers. It has embraced dynamic pricing, whereby
prices rise in line with demand, and opened an official resale
marketplace, from which it takes a 15% share from both the
buyer and the seller. Even after adjusting for inflation, World
Cup tickets across the United States, Canada and Mexico
cost more than twice as much as they did in Qatar in 2022.
Even if higher prices compensate for weaker sales, FIFA
risks damaging the product itself — which could, in turn, hurt
its more lucrative revenue streams2. Full stadiums create the
noise and tension that make matches irresistible on TV and
other screens. FIFA faced embarrassment last year during
the Club World Cup, when spectators were reportedly moved
towards television cameras at sparsely attended matches.
Studies have shown that wealthier fans are quieter and less
overtly passionate about their teams.

The internet went into overdrive when the song "Heart on My Sleeve" first dropped in 2023.
But as the song racked up millions of streams on TikTok, the truth surfaced this wasn't a new Drake and The Weeknd collab.
AI-generated music is a polarizing topic; depending on who you ask, it's either the next big innovation or a cultural catastrophe waiting to happen.
These technologically capable algorithms compose everything from background music to full-fledged songs.
But here's the flip side: AI doesn't understand human emotion.
Looking out for tomorrow, what does AI mean for the future of creativity?
As AI continues to evolve, artists and creators will have to find ways to use AI as a tool while ensuring that the heart of music its ability to move, inspire, and connect remains in human hands.

Leia o texto a seguir de Dias e Turbi sobre the two multis e
responda à questão:
English school textbooks have a long tradition in the
Brazilian public sector of education. Most often they are the
only pedagogical resources in an English classroom. English
public school textbooks are submitted to a National Program
for evaluation and this educational policy has had positive
impacts on these materials. This article analyzes one of the
units of a textbook series for teens that was approved in 2020.
Our analysis focuses on the two “multis”, the multiliteracies
pedagogy and the combined effects of the use of different
media (multimodality), which aims to encourage the active
role today’s learners play in learning. We also highlight some
alternatives for improvements and give some suggestions for
English teachers. The documentary research method within
the qualitative paradigm supports our analysis. Our results
show that the unit follows the principles of the two “multis” and
the cycle of knowledge processes, although its pedagogical
design can be improved. Our analysis also reveals that much
has yet to be done if we consider the responsibility students
must assume when learning.

Do certain people actually have a “knack” for learning
foreign languages? Anecdotal evidence would suggest that
some people are indeed able to learn languages faster and
more efficiently than others. One way of looking at such
aptitude is the identification of characteristics of successful
language learners. Risk-taking behavior, memory efficiency,
intelligent guessing, willingness to communicate, low anxiety,
and ambiguity tolerance are but a few of the many variables
that have been cited
(Brown, H.D., Principles of Language Learning and Teaching, 2014. Adaptado)
Historically, research on language aptitude has been a
roller-coaster ride. John Carroll’s (Carroll & Sapon, 1959)
pioneering work on aptitude, embodied in the Modern
Language Aptitude Test (MLAT), began the quest. The
MLAT asserted the predictability of number learning, sound
discrimination, pattern discernment, and memorization
for future success in a foreign language. This test, and
some others, were used for some time in such contexts
as Peace Corps volunteer training programs and military
communications courses to help predict successful language
learners.

Text CG1A7
The United Kingdom (UK) government is developing a
“murder prediction” programme which it hopes can use personal
data of those known to the authorities to identify the people most
likely to become killers. Researchers are alleged to be using
algorithms to analyse the information of thousands of people,
including victims of crime, as they try to identify those at greatest
risk of committing serious violent offences.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) says the scheme will “review
offender characteristics that increase the risk of committing
homicide” and “explore alternative and innovative data science
techniques to risk assessment of homicide”. The project would
“provide evidence towards improving risk assessment of serious
crime and ultimately contribute to protecting the public via better
analysis”, a spokesperson added.
The MoJ hopes the project will help boost public safety, but
campaigners have called it “chilling and dystopian”.
Sofia Lyall, a researcher for Statewatch, the pressure group that
discovered the existence of the project, said: “Time and again, research
shows that algorithmic systems for ‘predicting’ crime are inherently
flawed. This latest model […] will reinforce and magnify the structural
discrimination underpinning the criminal legal system.”
“Like other systems of its kind, it will code in bias towards
racialised and low-income communities. Building an automated
tool to profile people as violent criminals is deeply wrong, and
using such sensitive data on mental health, addiction and disability
is highly intrusive and alarming,” added Lyall.
