Book ESSAY  The Creativity Debate  Talent or Practice     What Matters More

Download or read book ESSAY The Creativity Debate Talent or Practice What Matters More written by William Van Zyl and published by Five House Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day millions upon millions of children and students attend schools and educational centres all over the world. They go to school with expectations to learn something new, to get a new experience and most of all to express and celebrate their uniqueness. Do their teachers think about their creativity? On the creativity continuum, there are two extremes "he or she is born creative, gifted and talented" on the one end, and on the other end is "he or she has been exposed and trained by very smart parents and teachers". Read about one of the theories - the "systems approach" - which originated from Positive Psychology and according to Csikszentmihalyi (1999a). The 'flow' state is an optimal state of intrinsic motivation. This essay considers and discusses the creativity debate. The author considers creativity (education) in a New Zealand context. He continues to consider his practice as a Design and Visual Communication teacher. APA referencing included (academic paper). An easy read!

Download or read book BBC Micro written by Burkhard Kainka and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-11 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Micro:bit is a small microcontroller learning system, developed by the BBC in collaboration with the University of Lancaster for seventh grade students in Great Britain. The hardware and software tools are very well suited for work in school. Students can program interesting applications around a 32-bit ARM controller with very little effort, and without the need to worry about details of the hardware involved. As you can see on the Micro:bit web pages, they are very detailed and well used.But the Micro:bit can do more! It is a complete development system and in addition a versatile single-board computer for all kinds of tasks. This controller can also be used as a measuring instrument in the electronics lab. It is therefore exciting to examine the different properties of the system more closely.The aim of this book is to explore some of the many possibilities of the Micro:bit. The result of our little expedition into hard and software is something like a complete overview on the topics of microcontrollers, programming, electronics and measurement technology. Many of the aspects also apply to other microcontroller systems or to electronics in general.I hope you enjoy the experimenting and programming, leading to success with your own projects later!Some additional material and updates can be found at www.elektronik-labor.de .(now, mostly in German)

Book How to Teach Computer Science  Parable  practice and pedagogy

Download or read book How to Teach Computer Science Parable practice and pedagogy written by Alan J. Harrison and published by John Catt. This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for new or aspiring computer science teachers wishing to improve their subject knowledge and gain confidence in the classroom. And it's for experienced computer science teachers who wish to hone their practice, in particular in the areas of explicit instruction, tackling misconceptions and exploring pedagogical content knowledge. You will read some of the backstory to our subject – the "hinterland" – those fascinating journeys into history that make the subject come alive and place it in historical context. These stories will help you to enrich your lessons, cement core knowledge, develop cultural capital and help you excite a life-long love for the subject. We will go beyond the mark scheme to explore the subject knowledge behind the answers, giving you the confidence to discuss the field in greater depth, enabling you to use explicit instruction methods: presenting skills and concepts clearly and directly enabling student mastery. We will explore misconceptions that arise when teaching our subject, so you can "head them off at the pass". And we will look at teaching ideas – the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) – exploring the helpful analogies, questions and activities that work for each topic: practices that can be lifted and dropped straight into the classroom to immediately enhance your teaching. Trainee or pre-service teachers, NQTs and early-career teachers will find this book invaluable, experienced teachers will find it inspiring, and all will benefit from a fresh look at the hinterland and subject pedagogy that makes computer science a fascinating subject to teach.
