Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equipped with a variety of visual organizers to describe relationships, processes and conveying a powerful message, this book introduces the skills required in the study of a scientific subject, in particular one connected to the environment. These language and visual skills are eventually used in project works based on lessons we can learn from the past and on actions to take towards a more responsible society. There are creative ways to learn and use your learning not only to know about a specific subject but also to use your new knowledge to make our planet a better place. This work shows instructors and learners how to ask themselves the right questions, scaffolding their inquiring process until they become independent, autonomous and socially responsible citizens. We are connected to the outside, and what happens outside a classroom should find a place in the learning activities organized in schools. When using Technology, we should be aware that it can also condition us. Emotions, critical thinking and other aspects of our human being should be integrated in order to have a holistic way to learn and use what we have learned.

Download or read book The Handbook of Design for Sustainability written by Stuart Walker and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability has emerged as a central issue for contemporary societies and for the world community as a whole. Furthermore, many of the social and environmental concerns that are embodied in the term 'sustainability' are directly or indirectly related to design. Designers help to define our human made environment - how it is produced, how it is used, and how long it endures. Despite some forty years of development and increased awareness of the critical relationships that exist between design decisions and modes of production, energy use, environmental impacts, the nature of work and human exploitation, design for sustainability is still not widely understood or followed. The Handbook of Design for Sustainability presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of this crucial subject - its development, its methods, its practices and its potential futures. Bringing together leading international scholars and new researchers to provide a substantive insight into the latest thinking and research within the field, The Handbook covers a breadth of historical and theoretical understandings and includes a series of original essays that explore methods and approaches for designers and design educators. The Handbook presents the first systematic overview of the subject that, in addition to methods and examples, includes historical perspectives, philosophical approaches, business analyses, educational insights and emerging thinking. It is an invaluable resource for design researchers and students as well as design practitioners and private and public sector organizations wishing to develop more sustainable directions.

Download or read book Cities Culture and Creativity written by UNESCO and published by UNESCO Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture and creativity have untapped potential to deliver social, economic, and spatial benefits for cities and communities. Cultural and creative industries are key drivers of the creative economy and represent important sources of employment, economic growth, and innovation, thus contributing to city competitiveness and sustainability. Through their contribution to urban regeneration and sustainable urban development, cultural and creative industries make cities more attractive places for people to live in and for economic activity to develop. Culture and creativity also contribute to social cohesion at the neighborhood level, enable creative networks to form and advance innovation and growth, and create opportunities for those who are often socially and economically excluded. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a deep impact on the cultural sector, yet it has also revealed the power of cultural and creative industries as a resource for city recovery and resilience. More generally, cities are hubs of the creative economy and have a critical role to play in harnessing the transformative potential of cultural and creative industries through policies and enabling environments at the local level. 'Cities, Culture, and Creativity' (CCC) provides guiding principles and a CCC Framework, developed by UNESCO and the World Bank, to support cities in unlocking the power of cultural and creative industries for sustainable urban development, city competitiveness, and social inclusion. Drawing from global studies and the experiences of nine diverse cities from across the world, the CCC Framework offers concrete guidance for the range of actors -- city, state, and national governments; creative industry and related private-sector organizations; creatives; culture professionals and civil society-- to harness culture and creativity with a view to boosting their local creative economies and building resilient, inclusive, and dynamic cities.

Download or read book Design Education for a Sustainable Future written by Rob Fleming and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability is a powerful force that is fundamentally reshaping humanity’s relationship to the natural world and is ushering in the Age of Integration. The move from well-intentioned environmental friendliness to the higher bar of integral sustainability and regenerative design demands a new type of design professional, one that is deeply collaborative, ethically grounded, empathically connected and technologically empowered. As a response, this book argues for a great leap forward in design education: from an individualistic and competitive model casually focused on greening; to a new approach defined by an integral consciousness, shaped by the values of inclusivity and cooperation, and implemented by a series of integrative behaviors including: an ethically infused design brief a co-creative design process on-going value engineering pre-emptive engineering design validation through simulation on-line enabled integrated learning the use of well vetted rating systems. This book contains the integral frameworks, whole system change methodologies and intrinsic values that will assist professors and their students in an authentic and effective pursuit of design education for a sustainable future.

Download or read book Your personal coach for overcoming learning blocks written by Roberto Cuccu and published by Roberto Cuccu. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaching a person means understand how the individual works, his or her motivation, the way they learn, the obstacles they find in certain areas and finding a way to move forward in a collaborative effort. A lot of people drag themselves over time on a particular learning field, because they haven't so far found the way to move forward. They keep repeating the same learning patterns that have been proved unsuccessful just because they do not know of any other way. A key challenge at the start of a coaching relationship is helping the person identify the right problem to solve. It is essential to understand if it is a One-time problem or Pattern, if the problem is due to Circumstance or Attitude. To be able to support an individual in such a way, it is necessary to have a more than general knowledge of how the mind works in a learning situation, how each person has different ways to represent new information and to memorize it. In a holistic approach it is essential to involve not only the mind, but also the emotions and the body. At the end of this coaching method, an individual should be able to confidently overcome the targeted obstacle and, last but not least, acquire a new understanding of how to learn and how to study any topic they desire and feel more confident in his/her working environment. In the second part of this work, the case studies presented will show how a number of approaches were used to help different individuals solve different or similar problems in a variety of ways, according to their personality and interests. This work also includes the results of a previous research on the relation between how you study a school subject and your level of proficiency in that subject. It will show how different ways to study are more or less effective according to the way your mind works.
Download or read book Right Research written by Geoffrey Rockwell and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is current and interdisciplinary, engaging with recent developments around this topic and including perspectives from sciences, arts, and humanities. It will be a welcome contribution to studies of the Anthropocene as well as studies of research methods and practices. —Sam Mickey, University of S. Francisco Educational institutions play an instrumental role in social and political change, and are responsible for the environmental and social ethics of their institutional practices. The essays in this volume critically examine scholarly research practices in the age of the Anthropocene, and ask what accountability educators and researchers have in ‘righting’ their relationship to the environment. The volume further calls attention to the geographical, financial, legal and political barriers that might limit scholarly dialogue by excluding researchers from participating in traditional modes of scholarly conversation. As such, Right Research is a bold invitation to the academic community to rigorous self-reflection on what their research looks like, how it is conducted, and how it might be developed so as to increase accessibility and sustainability, and decrease carbon footprint. The volume follows a three-part structure that bridges conceptual and practical concerns: the first section challenges our assumptions about how sustainability is defined, measured and practiced; the second section showcases artist-researchers whose work engages with the impact of humans on our environment; while the third section investigates how academic spaces can model eco-conscious behaviour. This timely volume responds to an increased demand for environmentally sustainable research, and is outstanding not only in its interdisciplinarity, but its embrace of non-traditional formats, spanning academic articles, creative acts, personal reflections and dialogues. Right Research will be a valuable resource for educators and researchers interested in developing and hybridizing their scholarly communication formats in the face of the current climate crisis.
