Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought deeply about the general goals of education? What ideal education could an individual receive? Would education only have a narrow focus on a specific career path, or can character development that results in a deeper perception of reality give one the capacity to see the connectedness of various systems of this world, as suggested in the notion of systems thinking? Do we have a better form of education than what we have currently? In this book, the author attempts to answer these questions, identifying some of the less obvious limitations of our current educational, pedagogical, and social practices. In what he terms authentic education focusing on mindfulness, self-awareness and emotional intelligence that results in integrated social-emotional learning, the author presents a deeper, broader approach to education. Learners get the opportunity to mindfully self-author their learning and development paths throughout life by developing an agile, growth mindset. In this integrated approach, individuals embark on a process leading to enhanced creativity, wisdom and overall well-being. Better, more holistically educated human beings in this way become solvers of the world's most difficult problems with clearer minds, while demonstrating more empathy, compassion and content, and are passionate about working for the greater good. This education system can provide solutions, directing our planet toward sustainability.This second edition of the book Education from a Deeper and Multidisciplinary Perspective: For a Sustainable Development of the Neurodiverse Society: A Futuristic View, published just over five years ago, is an extension with around 30 percent more content than the first version. In the new version, additional discussions were included: the areas of the social and emotional learning (SEL), emotional intelligence, mindfulness/meditative/attentional-training practices, empathy/compassion/kindness, neuroplasticity, epigenetics, self-transcendence, systems-thinking, growth mindset, self-authorship, resilience, and so forth. Most of these topics were only very briefly mentioned in the first edition. However, they have become increasingly widespread in education-related industries and other business areas alike in the recent past. Many references for these topic areas were provided in the book, even though many others not listed here are available in digital and printed formats around the world. Such increasing interests in the mentioned topic areas, and their relatively newly identified connection to general education and learning over the last decade or so speak for the much-needed educational transformation urged in this book in order for us to direct our societies to sustainability in an evidence-based manner. Additional references can also be found on the author's website at http: //chandana-watagodakumbura.net/.This book is intended for anyone who is interested in deeply understanding what education is all about. However, there would be much food for thought, especially for educators in general, parents, tertiary education students, and educational policy-makers. Generally, it is felt that there was not much literature available on integrated views of education from multidisciplinary perspectives, even though we could find much in individual domains. When we conceptualise such an integrated meaning to education, it gives us deeper and broader perspectives. This book is an outcome of the author's quest for better educational experiences/transformations, based on his decades of mindful experiences as a student and academic and strong belief that there are better ways in which we can provide education to our learners, possibly with life-changing impacts, for everyone in this world, in general

This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever conjectured deeply on the goals of education in general? What could be the ideal education an individual can receive? Will education only have a focus on an employment or career path, or will character or humanistic development that results in a deeper perception of reality be part of it? Do we have a better form of education than what we have currently perceived? In this book, the author attempts to answer the above questions identifying some of the less obvious limitations of our current pedagogical and social practices. In what he terms as authentic education, the author presents a deeper and multidisciplinary approach to education in which learners are uniquely identified and characterized based on their psychological and neurological traits in order for them to be sent through individualized learning plans spanning the whole life. In an integrated approach to education and human development, individual differences are given special attention and accommodations are made for all-round humanistic development enhancing creativity and wisdom in day-today life operations. Better educated human beings in this way would become better decision makers or problem solvers and more empathic and content personalities. Such an authentic education system has the promise of providing solutions to some of our long-standing social problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have long recognized that investments in public education contribute to the common good, enhancing national prosperity and supporting stable families, neighborhoods, and communities. Education is even more critical today, in the face of economic, environmental, and social challenges. Today's children can meet future challenges if their schooling and informal learning activities prepare them for adult roles as citizens, employees, managers, parents, volunteers, and entrepreneurs. To achieve their full potential as adults, young people need to develop a range of skills and knowledge that facilitate mastery and application of English, mathematics, and other school subjects. At the same time, business and political leaders are increasingly asking schools to develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and self-management - often referred to as "21st century skills." Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century describes this important set of key skills that increase deeper learning, college and career readiness, student-centered learning, and higher order thinking. These labels include both cognitive and non-cognitive skills- such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, effective communication, motivation, persistence, and learning to learn. 21st century skills also include creativity, innovation, and ethics that are important to later success and may be developed in formal or informal learning environments. This report also describes how these skills relate to each other and to more traditional academic skills and content in the key disciplines of reading, mathematics, and science. Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century summarizes the findings of the research that investigates the importance of such skills to success in education, work, and other areas of adult responsibility and that demonstrates the importance of developing these skills in K-16 education. In this report, features related to learning these skills are identified, which include teacher professional development, curriculum, assessment, after-school and out-of-school programs, and informal learning centers such as exhibits and museums.

Download or read book Transforming Teacher Education through Service Learning written by Virginia M. Jagla and published by IAP. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transforming Teacher Education through Service-Learning provides a fresh look at educational reform through the lens of teacher preparation. It poses the question “Why service-learning now?” as it discusses the meaningful ways service-learning pedagogy can transform the approaches used to prepare teachers to educate tomorrow’s children. The pedagogy of service-learning has significant implications for teacher education. Its transformative aspects have far reaching potential to address teacher candidate dispositions and provide deeper understanding of diversity. Knowledge of the pedagogy and how to implement it in candidates’ future classrooms could alter education to a more powerful experience of democracy in action and enhance the civic mission of schools. The current and ongoing research found within this volume is meant to continue support of the notion of educational reform. Because the vision we hold becomes the reality we experience, it is imperative to consider the question—Why service-learning now?—as we adjust teacher preparation programs to promote engaging opportunities for today’s youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the ambitious vision of the NEP 1968 that aimed to propel India into the ranks of advanced nations, to the paradigm shift brought about by NEP 1986, emphasizing access, equity, and quality, we delve into the intentions, outcomes, and challenges posed by these policies. The vocational focus of NEP 1992, aligning education with India's emerging economic landscape, and the holistic approach of NEP 2020, envisioning a modern and multidisciplinary education system, are also under our analytical lens. Throughout this book, we not only aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of each policy but also to draw connections between them, uncovering the threads that link the past to the present and beyond. As we analyze the objectives, implementations, and repercussions of these policies, we seek to shed light on the lessons learned, the successes celebrated, and the challenges yet to be overcome.

Download or read book Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Play from Birth and Beyond written by Sandra Lynch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While firmly acknowledging the importance of play in early childhood, this book interrogates the assumption that play is a birthright. It pushes beyond traditional understandings of play to ask questions such as: what is the relationship between play and the arts – theatre, music and philosophy – and between play and wellbeing? How is play relevant to educational practice in the rapidly changing circumstances of today’s world? What do Australian Aboriginal conceptions of play have to offer understandings of play? The book examines how ideas of play evolve as children increasingly interact with popular culture and technology, and how developing notions of play have changed our work spaces, teaching practices, curricula, and learning environments, as well as our understanding of relationships between children and adults. This multidisciplinary volume on the subject of play combines the work of some of the world’s leading researchers in the field of early childhood education with contributions from distinguished and emerging scholars in areas as diverse as education, theatre studies, architecture, literature, philosophy, cultural studies, theology and the creative arts. Reconsidering the common focus on play in early education, to investigate its broader impact, this collection offers a refreshing and valuable addition to studies on play, reconceptualizing it for the 21st century.
