Download or read book The Science of Language written by Noam Chomsky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noam Chomsky is one of the most influential thinkers of our time, yet his views are often misunderstood. In this previously unpublished series of interviews, Chomsky discusses his iconoclastic and important ideas concerning language, human nature and politics. In dialogue with James McGilvray, Professor of Philosophy at McGill University, Chomsky takes up a wide variety of topics – the nature of language, the philosophies of language and mind, morality and universality, science and common sense, and the evolution of language. McGilvray's extensive commentary helps make this incisive set of interviews accessible to a variety of readers. The volume is essential reading for those involved in the study of language and mind, as well as anyone with an interest in Chomsky's ideas.

Download or read book Ambitious Science Teaching written by Mark Windschitl and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2018 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Ambitious Science Teaching outlines a powerful framework for science teaching to ensure that instruction is rigorous and equitable for students from all backgrounds. The practices presented in the book are being used in schools and districts that seek to improve science teaching at scale, and a wide range of science subjects and grade levels are represented. The book is organized around four sets of core teaching practices: planning for engagement with big ideas; eliciting student thinking; supporting changes in students’ thinking; and drawing together evidence-based explanations. Discussion of each practice includes tools and routines that teachers can use to support students’ participation, transcripts of actual student-teacher dialogue and descriptions of teachers’ thinking as it unfolds, and examples of student work. The book also provides explicit guidance for “opportunity to learn” strategies that can help scaffold the participation of diverse students. Since the success of these practices depends so heavily on discourse among students, Ambitious Science Teaching includes chapters on productive classroom talk. Science-specific skills such as modeling and scientific argument are also covered. Drawing on the emerging research on core teaching practices and their extensive work with preservice and in-service teachers, Ambitious Science Teaching presents a coherent and aligned set of resources for educators striving to meet the considerable challenges that have been set for them.
Download or read book Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices written by Christina V. Schwarz and published by NSTA Press. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it’s time for a game change, you need a guide to the new rules. Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices provides a play-by-play understanding of the practices strand of A Framework for K–12 Science Education (Framework) and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Written in clear, nontechnical language, this book provides a wealth of real-world examples to show you what’s different about practice-centered teaching and learning at all grade levels. The book addresses three important questions: 1. How will engaging students in science and engineering practices help improve science education? 2. What do the eight practices look like in the classroom? 3. How can educators engage students in practices to bring the NGSS to life? Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices was developed for K–12 science teachers, curriculum developers, teacher educators, and administrators. Many of its authors contributed to the Framework’s initial vision and tested their ideas in actual science classrooms. If you want a fresh game plan to help students work together to generate and revise knowledge—not just receive and repeat information—this book is for you.
Download or read book Translation as Growth Towards a Theory of Language Development written by U N Singh and published by Pearson Education India. This book was released on 1900 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translation as Growth: Towards a Theory of Language Development useful for students and scholars of literature, comparative literature and linguistics, and translators, argues that translation, like authoring, is a creative act enriching both the original and translated language. It discusses the development of major modern Indian languages through ‘vertical’ translations from the languages of power and knowledge, English and Sanskrit as well as by engaging in ‘horizontal' translations of one another, ultimately creating a pluralistic body of literature in India.
Download or read book Science Teacher Preparation in Content Based Second Language Acquisition written by Alandeom W. Oliveira and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this book is to provide science teacher educators with exemplars of professional development programs designed to prepare school teachers to effectively help language learners in science classrooms simultaneously gain language proficiency and conceptual understanding. To this end, this book examines seventeen science teacher preparation programs that span a wide variety of grade levels (elementary, middle, and secondary), countries (Italy, Luxemburg, Spain, UK, and US), and linguistic contexts (English as a Second Language, English as a Foreign Language, trilingual classrooms, and teaching deaf children science through sign language). The book is divided into three main parts. Each part consists of chapters that illustrate a common, cross-cutting theme in science teacher preparation in content-based second language acquisition, namely pre-service teacher preparation, in-service teacher preparation, and international perspectives. Each part provides many insights on the similarities and differences in the professional development approaches used to prepare science teaching with varied amounts of instructional experience help students in different parts of the world overcome linguistic barriers while simultaneously learning concepts central to science. Bringing together researchers from various academic backgrounds (science education, TESOL, and Applied Linguistics), attention is given to varied facets of the intersection of science and language learning in the specific context of school teacher preparation.
Download or read book Beyond Provincialism written by Mahmoud Suleiman and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Education Inquiries is a book series dedicated to realizing the global vision of Education 2030. This vision involves “ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all.” The founding editors seek to provide a forum for the diverse voices of scholars and practitioners from across the globe, asking questions about transforming the vision of Education 2030 into a reality. Published chapters will reflect a variety of formats, free of methodological restrictions, involving disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary inquiries. We expect the series will be a leading forum for pioneers redefining the global discussion about the people, places, and perspectives shaping Education 2030 outcomes. ENDORSEMENTS: "The educational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has created the most serious crisis in the history of public education. Addressing this crisis effectively will require efforts aligned with an inclusive and sustainable vision of development, such as articulated by the UN Education 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. To build back better educators need to guide their practice by knowledge that is local as well as global, in ways that help their students understand those interdependencies. Beyond Provincialism is an invitation to such an exploration. In this edited volume, Professors Mahmoud Suleiman and Tonya Huber and their colleagues take the reader on a journey that illuminates the impact of hunger among college students in America, how the SDGs can help turnaround high poverty schools, the role of curriculum to promote cross-national collaboration, and how math and science instruction, as well as study abroad, can help students develop procedural and conceptual knowledge that makes visible the relevance of what they learn to the world around them and the impact of the pandemic on teacher preparation in Palestine. The kaleidoscope of insights offered by this book will expand the global awareness and understanding of education as a global activity. A timely and useful resource for teachers and teacher educators that will contribute to advance a transformational education that helps us build back better from the devastation created by the pandemic." — Fernando M. Reimers, Harvard Graduate School of Education "Suleiman and Huber convene a dynamic group of scholars committed to transforming our schools. Using the latest theories and methodological approaches, Beyond Provincialism offers crucial frameworks to understand teaching and learning in a global perspective. This groundbreaking volume wholeheartedly embraces the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and calls upon all of us to simultaneously dismantle systemic inequality and promote equity and social justice in pre-K-20 schools across nations and their institutions. It’s simply a must-read book, especially for practitioners, educators, reformers, researchers, and policy-makers who seek to internationalize education and take it beyond its cursory provincial goals." — Gilberto Q. Conchas, Wayne K. and Anita Woolfolk Hoy, Pennsylvania State University "At a time when proponents of diversity, equity and inclusion are under attack, it is valuable to examine Beyond Provincialism to see how far we still need to go to reform schools and invest in teacher, educator and leader preparation. Grounded in solid frameworks, this timely and informative book astutely provides insights from forceful practitioners, scholars, and researchers whose fascinating experiences and models have practical implications for promoting global multicultural competencies needed to combat racist mindsets and provincial outlooks. Based on Education 2030 vision, the book provides a thoughtful blueprint for integrating international and global dimensions in teacher and educator preparation." — Ken Magdaleno, Center for Leadership, Equity, and Research (CLEAR)
Download or read book Joint Attention written by Chris Moore and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is perhaps no exaggeration to suggest that all of what is intrinsically human experience is grounded in its shared nature. Joint attention to objects and events in the world provides the initial means whereby infants can start to share experiences with others and negotiate shared meanings. It provides a context for the development of both knowledge about the world and about others as experiencers. It plays a central role in the development of the young child's understanding of both the social and nonsocial worlds and in the development of the communicative interplay between child and adult. The first devoted to this important topic, this volume explores how joint attention first arises, its developmental course, its role in communication and social understanding, and the ways in which disruptions in joint attention may be implicated in a variety of forms of abnormal development including autism.

Download or read book Educating English Learners written by Joyce W. Nutta and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Educating English Learners, Joyce W. Nutta and her colleagues offer practical tools for helping schools and teachers successfully integrate English learners into mainstream classrooms. Drawing on the One Plus model presented in their award-winning book, Preparing Every Teacher to Reach English Learners, the authors now turn their attention to the needs of K–12 teachers who typically have two or three English learners in their classrooms. English learners are not a homogenous group, and the challenges they face vary tremendously. Nutta and her colleagues present protocols and case studies to help pre-service and in-service teachers understand the needs of English learners in their classrooms and differentiate instruction and assessment accordingly. Woven throughout the book are the stories of Gero, Edith, Tasir, and Edgar, four case study students of different ages, backgrounds, and levels of English proficiency. The authors show how the protocols they provide can be applied to adapt sample lessons for students like these, across a range of grade levels, subject areas, and pedagogical approaches. Finally, the authors show how the system can be applied school-wide for a collaborative approach to meeting English learners’ needs.
Download or read book International Handbook of Research on Multicultural Science Education written by Mary M. Atwater and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 1629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook gathers in one volume the major research and scholarship related to multicultural science education that has developed since the field was named and established by Atwater in 1993. Culture is defined in this handbook as an integrated pattern of shared values, beliefs, languages, worldviews, behaviors, artifacts, knowledge, and social and political relationships of a group of people in a particular place or time that the people use to understand or make meaning of their world, each other, and other groups of people and to transmit these to succeeding generations. The research studies include both different kinds of qualitative and quantitative studies. The chapters in this volume reflect differing ideas about culture and its impact on science learning and teaching in different K-14 contexts and policy issues. Research findings about groups that are underrepresented in STEM in the United States, and in other countries related to language issues and indigenous knowledge are included in this volume.
