This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el momento actual nos encontramos en una situación de importantes cambios, tanto en lo que respecta al modelo de Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, que está suponiendo el replanteamiento de los modelos y estrategias docentes empleados hasta la fecha, como en lo relativo a la implantación, en el último ciclo de Educación Primaria y primer ciclo de Educación Secundaria, del Programa Escuela 2.0, por parte del gobierno español. Ambos hechos implican un cambio de cultura que concierne tanto al docente como a los estudiantes y a la propias instituciones como tales. La Escuela 2.0 supone, por ejemplo, explorar nuevos enfoques metodológicos y herramientas que pueden emplearse con fines didácticos, como son las webs sociales, el trabajo colaborativo a través de wikis, sistemas de gestión de cursos, el uso educativo de blogs, etc. Estos nuevos contextos exigen, entre otros aspectos: 1. La necesidad de trabajo colaborativo entre los docentes, de modo que los profesores participen en proyectos de innovación formando redes de profesores innovadores, compañeros del propio centro que colaboran para llevar a cabo propuestas novedosas en cuanto a la organización de las asignaturas, coordinación de las mismas, implementación de nuevas metodologías didácticas, colaboración entre alumnos, etc. 2. La incorporación de las nuevas tecnologías en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. La posesión de competencias tecnológicas para el desempeño profesional es una demanda social que debe ser atendida en el proceso de formación inicial de los titulados. Por ello las nuevas tecnologías se han de utilizar como un recurso docente que posibilite una mejor adaptación a los diferentes tipos de alumnos y a sus diversas situaciones académicas; y al mismo tiempo una exigencia para los estudiantes, que han de saber hacer uso de los mismos en su desempeño pre-profesional. De igual modo, no ha de olvidarse las posibilidades que ofrecen para la colaboración entre colegas y la comunicación entre los profesores y alumnos en nuevos escenarios de carácter virtual. Consideramos, por una parte, que los cambios anteriormente citados son lo suficientemente trascendentales como para generar espacios de reflexión sobre cuáles pueden ser las metodologías de aprendizaje más apropiadas en esos nuevos contextos educativos universitarios y no universitarios. Metodologías que apoyándose en la integración de las TIC (OECD, 2009): • Promuevan las relaciones entre los alumnos. • Aumenten su motivación y autoestima. • Desarrollen habilidades interpersonales y estrategias para resolver conflictos. • Promuevan el respeto, la tolerancia, la flexibilidad y la apertura hacia los demás • Enseñen a compartir responsabilidades, a organizarse y dividir tareas. • Brinden un espacio para superar las dificultades que se puedan tener en un ambiente de confianza y compañerismo. En definitiva, que promuevan un aprendizaje colaborativo, no sólo a nivel de alumnado, sino también entre los profesores, los cuales, como señalan algunos autores, “no están acostumbrados a trabajar en equipo ni a compartir sus preocupaciones” (Ortiz Oría, 1991,51). Por otra parte, la puesta en práctica tanto del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, como del Programa Escuela 2.0, demanda una formación específica de los docentes desde la que puedan explorar nuevos enfoques metodológicos de gran proyección para la innovación educativa. Las metodologías de aprendizaje colaborativo a través de las TIC no son aún muy frecuentes, ni en el ámbito escolar, ni en el universitario, pero allí donde se está trabajando con este tipo de enfoque metodológico, los resultados son positivos, se mejora el clima de trabajo en el aula, las actitudes de los estudiantes y su grado de motivación, así como su rendimiento escolar. Por todo lo que acabamos de comentar, el presente trabajo constituye la recopilación de una serie de reflexiones e iniciativas de gran trascendencia. Ofrecer a los docentes y a otros profesionales de la educación diversas perspectivas teóricas en torno al aprendizaje colaborativo y cómo ponerlo en práctica en un contexto metodológico concreto mediado por el uso de las TIC; así como presentarles experiencias pioneras de uso de este aprendizaje en procesos educativos; o compartir las propias iniciativas que al respecto puedan estar desarrollando los propios docentes, son finalidades que dan sentido a la presente publicación. Para organizar mejor la misma y que el lector pueda, si así lo desea, realizar una lectura más selectiva de aquellas reflexiones y/o experiencias que le puedan interesar, hemos organizado las distintas contribuciones en seis apartados: 1. La concepción del aprendizaje colaborativo 2. Las distintas metodologías de aprendizaje colaborativo 3. El aprendizaje colaborativo como estrategia metodológica para el desarrollo de la innovación educativa 4. Las metodologías de aprendizaje colaborativo mediante el uso de las TIC y sus implicaciones en la mejora del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje 5. La formación del profesorado para estimular el trabajo colaborativo en los centros educativos mediante el empleo de las TIC 6. Las prácticas profesionales de trabajo colaborativo a través de las TIC en los distintos niveles educativos Esperamos que el futuro lector pueda encontrar respuestas a algunas de las problemáticas actuales en torno al tema y le suscite, además, aquellos interrogantes que le permitan reflexionar y construir nuevos conocimientos desde la práctica.

Download or read book CALL Dimensions written by Mike Levy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gives language teachers, software designers, and researchers who wish to use technology in second or foreign language education the information they need to absorb what has been achieved so far and to make sense of it. It is designed to enable the kind of critical reading of a substantial literature that leads to a balanced and detailed knowledge of the field. Chapter by chapter, the book builds, through description, analysis, examples, and discussion, a detailed picture of modern CALL. In this book, the label “CALL” is interpreted broadly to include technology-enhanced language learning, Web-enhanced language learning, and information and communication technologies for language learning. The work is distinguished by its attention to a range of languages rather than just English. The authors first set the scene and introduce major areas of interest and growth in CALL, and then look in depth at seven important dimensions: design, evaluation, computer-mediated communication, theory, research, practice, and technology. Chapters on each of these topics include a description that reviews the recent literature, identifies themes, and presents representative projects that illustrate the dimension, followed by a discussion that provides in-depth analysis, and a conclusion offering suggestions for further work. Detailed references and links connect the description and discussion with original works and primary sources so the reader can follow up easily on areas of personal interest. Two concluding chapters discuss how the various dimensions might be brought together, the first from a practical point of view, the second with a view to the development of CALL as a whole.
Download or read book Mahatma Gandhi written by Dennis Dalton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Download or read book Choice Theory A Very Short Introduction written by Michael Allingham and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2002-08-22 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We make choices all the time - about trivial matters, about how to spend our money, about how to spend our time, about what to do with our lives. And we are also constantly judging the decisions other people make as rational or irrational. But what kind of criteria are we applying when we say that a choice is rational? What guides our own choices, especially in cases where we don't have complete information about the outcomes? What strategies should be applied in making decisions which affect a lot of people, as in the case of government policy? This book explores what it means to be rational in all these contexts. It introduces ideas from economics, philosophy, and other areas, showing how the theory applies to decisions in everyday life, and to particular situations such as gambling and the allocation of resources. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Download or read book The Research System in Transition written by Susan E. Cozzens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a mountainside in sunny Tuscany, in October 1989, 96 people from 23 countries on five continents gathered to learn and teach about the problems of managing contemporary science. The diversity of economic and political systems represented in the group was matched by our occupations, which stretched from science policy practitioners, through research scientists and engineers, through academic observers of science and science policy. It was this diversity, along with the opportunities for infonnal discussion provided by long meals and remote location, that made the conference a special learning experience. Except at lecture time, it was impossible to distinguish the "students" at this event from the "teachers," and even the most senior members of the teaching staff went away with a sense that they had learned more from this group than from many a standard conference on science policy they had attended. The flavor of the conference experience cannot be captured adequately in a proceedings volume, and so we have not tried to create a historical record in this book. Instead, we have attempted to illustrate the core problems the panicipants at the conference shared, discussed, and debated, using both lectures delivered by the fonnal teaching staff and summaries of panel discussions, which extended to other panicipants and therefore increased the range of experiences reponed.
Download or read book Cultural Tourism written by bob Mckercher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine cultural tourism issues from both sides of the industry! Unique in concept and content, Cultural Tourism: The Partnership Between Tourism and Cultural Heritage Management examines the relationship between the sectors that represent opposite sides of the cultural tourism coin. While tourism professionals assess cultural assets for their profit potential, cultural heritage professionals judge the same assets for their intrinsic value. Sustainable cultural tourism can only occur when the two sides form a true partnership based on understanding and appreciation of each other's merits. The authors--one, a tourism specialist, the other, a cultural heritage management expert--present a model for a working partnership with mutual benefits, integrating management theory and practice from both disciplines. Cultural Tourism is the first book to combine the different perspectives of tourism management and cultural heritage management. It examines the role of tangible (physical evidence of culture) and intangible (continuing cultural practices, knowledge, and living experiences) heritage, describes the differences between cultural tourism products and cultural heritage assets, and develops a number of conceptual models, including a classification system for cultural tourists, indicators of tourism potential at cultural and heritage assets, and assessment criteria for cultural and heritage assets with tourism potential. Cultural Tourism examines the five main constituent elements involved in cultural tourism: cultural and heritage assets in tourism sites such as the Royal Palace in Bangkok, the Cook Islands, and Alcatraz Prison in San Francisco. tourism--what it is, how it works, and what makes it a success five different types of cultural tourists consumption of products, value adding, and commodification integrating the first four elements to satisfy the tourist, meet the needs of the tourism industry, and conserve the intrinsic value of the asset Though tourism and cultural heritage management professionals have mutual interests in the management, conservation, and presentation of cultural and heritage assets, the two sectors operate on parallel planes, maintaining an uneasy partnership with surprisingly little dialogue. Cultural Tourism provides professionals and students in each field with a better understanding of their own roles in the partnership, bridging the gap via sound planning, management, and marketing to produce top-quality, long-lasting cultural tourism products.

This book was released on 2003-09-16 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the talk of science classrooms and in particular on the ways in which the different kinds of interactions between teachers and students contribute to meaning making and learning. Central to the text is a new analytical framework for characterising the key features of the talk of school science classrooms. This framework is based on sociocultural principles and links the work of theorists such as Vygotsky and Bakhtin to the day-to-day interactions of contemporary science classrooms. *presents a framework, based on sociocultural theory, for analysing the language of teaching and learning interactions in science classrooms *provides detailed examples and illustrations of insights gained from applying the framework to real science lessons in Brazil and the UK. *demonstrates how these ways of thinking about classroom talk can be drawn upon to inform the professional development of science teachers. *offers an innovative research methodology, based on sociocultural theory, for analysing classroom talk. *expands upon the ways in which sociocultural theory has been systematically applied to analysing classroom contexts. This book offers a powerful set of tools for thinking and talking about the day-to-day practices of contemporary science classrooms. It contains messages of fundamental importance and insight for all of those who are interested in reflecting on the interactions of science teaching and learning, whether in the context of teaching, higher degree study, or research.
