This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The teacher’s role is to create opportunities that intrinsically motivate children to externalize their thoughts. Human beings have multiple means of expression: this is powerful when children have the opportunity to have a real voice. The realities of children’s experiences in their local communities are powerful resources for the language curriculum and help to create an understanding of the value the languages and cultures of children and teachers bring from a multicultural perspective. Thus, teachers can help children develop their cultural and linguistic identities to promote multiculturalism, multilingualism, and translingualism so they can thrive in a complex and changing world. The Handbook of Research on Socio-Cultural and Linguistic Perspectives on Language and Literacy Development approaches language and literacy development from a socio-cultural and linguistic perspective. This book offers global perspectives on language and literacy from international experts working with both children and educators. It offers readers a diversity of voices and experiences of professionals in the field that can inform their teaching and research. Covering topics such as critical literacy, emotional engagement, and multilingual resources, this major reference work is an indispensable resource for administrators and educators of both K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, biblio-therapists, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Download or read book El Milagro Del Comienzo written by Gilberto Nieto Aguilar and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El milagro del comienzo son las reflexiones de un estudiante normalista, las inquietudes y cuestionamientos de un adolescente que despierta a la vida, y las experiencias de un maestro rural que convierte sus primeros años de servicio en testimonios que buscan contrastar la teoría que recibió en las aulas que lo formaron con los hechos reales en el ejercicio de su profesión. En este relato cuenta lo que sufrió y gozó, lo que vio, lo que interpretó en un momento determinado de su existencia, durante la transición de ser estudiante a trabajador con responsabilidades, sin hacer de lado la interpretación que dejan los hechos presenciados, la historia que se vive, las primeras dudas éticas que forman el carácter y abren el camino por el cual se piensa transitar el resto de la vida. Sus notas fueron su conciencia, su mejor confidente y el mejor inquisidor de sus errores. Por eso no trató de afirmar su verdad, sino de comentar su experiencia.
Download or read book Quo Vadis Universidad written by Esteban Bara, Francisco and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-12-26 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante los últimos años, la educación universitaria vive un proceso de reforma continuo. Cada día que pasa se presenta una nueva metodología pedagógica, una original manera de evaluar, una insólita tecnología que aplicar en el aula, una inédita función del profesorado o una flamante competencia que adquirir. Todo eso está muy bien, especialmente para aquellos que se lamentaban por tener una educación universitaria caduca. Sin embargo, tanta mudanza y restauración ¿no habrán causado una cierta desorientación en torno a los fines y el ethos de dicha educación? La educación universitaria no ha funcionado como debiera si esta consiste en una especie de carrera de obstáculos, que son las asignaturas, para llegar al título, que es la meta. La realidad demuestra, por lo menos a nuestro entender, que año tras año un buen número de estudiantes no se percatan de que son miembros de una comunidad llamada universidad.
