Download or read book Disruptive Inclusion written by Jen Smith and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Christian adult learning? What questions are raised when Christian faith and learning meet? Many existing approaches primarily address issues such as curriculum content or teacher character. Building on the work of John Hull, Disruptive Inclusion approaches the intersection of theology and pedagogy suggesting that the christianness of Christian adult learning is best expressed by the posture adopted by learners, not only via what is taught and by whom. Specifically, Jen Smith claims that a key to Christian adult learning posture is how learners include the unexpected and disruptive in their learning. Drawing on key resources, such as the biblical narrative, Christian tradition, liturgy, community and her own experiences, Jen takes us on a deeply personal and practical journey into disruptive inclusion and invites us to re-imagine what effective Christian adult learning might look like in the classroom, pulpit and online learning settings.

Download or read book Information Literacy Skills and the Role of Social Media in Disseminating Scholarly Information in the 21st Century written by Baskaran, C. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The storage of information lies within the basic components called binary devices, and at present, storage media falls into two categoriesrandom and serial (or sequential) accesswhich require different amounts of time to access a given piece of data. The typical serial-access medium is magnetic tape, which has a storage density that has increased considerably over the years. Vast quantities of source data are collected, digitized, and compressed automatically by means of unique instruments in fields such as astronomy, environmental monitoring, scientific experimentation and modelling, and national security. Information capture that is generated by an individual, in the form of packages of symbols called documents, is accomplished by manual and, increasingly, automatic techniques. Data that is entered into instruments manually, such as keyboard strikes, is a process that is comparatively slow and error-prone and often requires the use of computer programs with supporting editing software for formatting, grammar, spelling, and more. With the evolution of technology and its impact on human society, the social sciences have begun to describe this new version of society as a post-industrial or the information/knowledge society. Such terms attempt to capture the unprecedented development and use of information and communication technologies and the fact that information generation, processing, and transmission have become the fundamental sources of productivity and power. An exploration into the impacts of the modern knowledge society on the ways in which academic researchers utilize, distribute, and record data from their fields of study is necessary for further comprehension, protection, and maintenance of this ever-expanding body of information. Information Literacy Skills and the Role of Social Media in Disseminating Scholarly Information in the 21st Century analyzes the various factors of information literacy skill for disseminating scholarly information in the 21st century and increases the awareness level of social media use by researchers for sharing information. Covering topics such as information literate pedagogy, information literacy instruction, and ICT and learning in the knowledge society, this book is ideal for librarians, teachers, research scholars, students of library and information science, knowledge mangers, and information scientists.
