Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985. Much has been written from the diverse perspectives of the economist, the sociologist, the designer and planner, and others about the pros and cons of different patterns of housing and settlement for our population. This volume was generated from when in the spring of 1980 a study group was formed, sponsored by the Society for Research in Child Development, with support from the Foundation for Child Development, to examine a particular aspect of this topic, namely the ways in which and the extent to which different density levels in our residential environment affect the development of children.

Book excerpt: Previous research suggests that infants understand spatiotemporal continuity and are able to reason about continuity violations (Baillargeon, Spelke, & Wasserman, 1985; Wynn, 1992). Continuity can be violated in two ways--an object suddenly appearing or an object suddenly disappearing. Recent work with infants (Wynn & Chiang, 1998) suggests that the two types of violations are not equivalent, with infants finding discontinuous disappearances more surprising. We extend this research to preschool children by asking (1) if preschoolers are able to detect violations of continuity and, (2) if the same asymmetry found with infants will be found with young children. In Experiment 1, we used a novel paradigm in which children witnessed seemingly "magical" appearances and disappearances of objects in box and were asked to report, 'yes' or 'no', whether a magic trick had occurred on each trial. Like young infants, preschoolers successfully detected continuity violations in this task. However, unlike infants, they detected discontinuous appearances and disappearances equally well, suggesting that for preschoolers, both types of continuity violations are equally salient. Because children could have been tracking the number of objects and/or the continuous extent of the hidden set (e.g., total volume of the objects) in order to detect the violations, in Experiment 2, we pitted number against continuous extent. Under these circumstances, children successfully detected continuity violations and again were much more likely to detect "magical" number changes than "magical" volume changes. This result is contrary to previous infant research in which infants often track continuous extent better than number (Feigenson, Carey, & Spelke, 2002). There was no difference in the rates of detecting disappearances and appearances. Experiment 3 was designed to see if preschoolers could be induced to detect "magical" volume changes by providing them with familiarization events in which the correct labels ('yes' that's magical or 'no' that not) were provided. Despite this, preschoolers were no better than chance at detecting "magical" volume changes, but again detected "magical" number changes reliably better than chance. In sum, the present work suggests that, like infants, preschoolers are sensitive to violations of continuity. But unlike infants, appearances and disappearances are equally salient to young children. And finally, children's ability to detect violations of continuity appears to be accomplished by their tracking number of objects, rather than the continuous extent of the hidden set.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to Think Spatially examines how spatial thinking might be incorporated into existing standards-based instruction across the school curriculum. Spatial thinking must be recognized as a fundamental part of Kâ€"12 education and as an integrator and a facilitator for problem solving across the curriculum. With advances in computing technologies and the increasing availability of geospatial data, spatial thinking will play a significant role in the information-based economy of the twenty-first century. Using appropriately designed support systems tailored to the Kâ€"12 context, spatial thinking can be taught formally to all students. A geographic information system (GIS) offers one example of a high-technology support system that can enable students and teachers to practice and apply spatial thinking in many areas of the curriculum.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first worldwide overview of Planning Support Systems (PSS) and their application in practice. PSS are geo-technology related instruments consisting of theories, information, methods, tools, et cetera for support of unique professional public or private planning tasks at any spatial scale. The aim is to advance progress in the development of PSS, which are far from being effectively integrated into the planning practice. The text provides an Internet-based worldwide inventory of innovative examples and successful applications of PSS in a number of different planning contexts. In-depth insights into the purposes, content, workings, and applications of a very wide diversity of PSS are given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is science for a child? How do children learn about science and how to do science? Drawing on a vast array of work from neuroscience to classroom observation, Taking Science to School provides a comprehensive picture of what we know about teaching and learning science from kindergarten through eighth grade. By looking at a broad range of questions, this book provides a basic foundation for guiding science teaching and supporting students in their learning. Taking Science to School answers such questions as: When do children begin to learn about science? Are there critical stages in a child's development of such scientific concepts as mass or animate objects? What role does nonschool learning play in children's knowledge of science? How can science education capitalize on children's natural curiosity? What are the best tasks for books, lectures, and hands-on learning? How can teachers be taught to teach science? The book also provides a detailed examination of how we know what we know about children's learning of scienceâ€"about the role of research and evidence. This book will be an essential resource for everyone involved in K-8 science educationâ€"teachers, principals, boards of education, teacher education providers and accreditors, education researchers, federal education agencies, and state and federal policy makers. It will also be a useful guide for parents and others interested in how children learn.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
