Download or read book Educational Curricula written by Jennifer N. Casey and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In formal education, a curriculum (plural curricula) is the set of courses, and their content, offered at a school or university. As an idea, curriculum stems from the Latin word for race course, referring to the course of deeds and experiences through which children grow and mature in becoming adults. Crucial to the curriculum is the definition of the course objectives that usually are expressed as learning outcomes and normally include the program's assessment strategy. These outcomes and assessments are grouped as units (or modules), and, therefore, the curriculum comprises a collection of such units, each, in turn, comprising a specialised, specific part of the curriculum. So, a typical curriculum includes communications, numeracy, information technology, and social skills units, with specific, specialised teaching of each. This book presents research on educational curricula from around the world.

Download or read book Communication Centers written by Kathleen J. Turner and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication Centers: A Theory-Based Guide to Training and Management offers advice based on extant research and best practices to both faculty who are asked to develop a communication center and for directors of established centers. Broken into easily understood parts, Turner and Sheckels begin with the development of communication centers, offering guidance on the history of centers, how to start a center, and, in a contribution by Kyle Love, creative approaches to marketing. They provide a communication perspective on selecting and training tutors, and then address how to train the tutors in their tasks of helping students with invention, disposition, style, memory, and delivery as well as presentation aids, including consideration of special situations and diverse populations. The authors explore ways to broaden the vision for communication centers, and conclude with chapters on techniques for assessment by Marlene Preston and on the rich rhetorical roots of communication centers by Linda Hobgood. The volume concludes with appendixes on guidelines for directors and for certification of tutor training programs. Communication Centers is a valuable resource for scholars in any stage of developing or improving a communication center at their university.
Download or read book Post Pandemic Pedagogy written by Joseph M. Valenzano and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-Pandemic Pedagogy: A Paradigm Shift discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic radically altered teaching and learning for faculty and students alike. The increased prevalence of video-conferencing software for conducting classes fundamentally changed the way in which we teach and seemingly upended many best practices for good pedagogy in the college classroom. Whether it was the reflection over surveillance software, or the increased mental health demands of the pandemic on teachers and students, or the completely reshaped ways in which classes and co-curricular experiences were delivered, the pandemic year represented an opportunity for one of the largest shifts in our understanding of good pedagogy unlike any experienced in the modern era. This edited collection explores what we thought we knew about a variety of teaching ideas, how the pandemic changed our approach to them, and proposes ways in which some of the adjustments made to accommodate the pandemic will remain for years to come. Scholars of communication, pedagogy, and education will find this book particularly interesting.

Download or read book Voicing Diverse Teaching Experiences Approaches and Perspectives in Higher Education written by Alvarez, Wilfredo and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. higher education system is changing demographically. With these complex changes also comes a greater diversity of people entering spaces that they could not previously access. This new dynamic is exciting; however, it also comes with challenges. New approaches must be developed to facilitate the acceptance of this greater diversity. Voicing Diverse Teaching Experiences, Approaches, and Perspectives in Higher Education extends the conversation on how to engage diverse and complex social identity groups in a system historically designed to be exclusive of their lived experiences. This book elevates the voices of people who have been absent in the academy and considers these experiences across various types of institutions, academic disciplines, and ranks. Covering topics such as critical race theory, diverse gender identities, and interpersonal needs, this book is an essential resource for higher education administrators, faculty and students of higher education, organizational leaders, academicians, pre-service teachers, and researchers.

Download or read book Disciplinary Styles in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning written by Mary Taylor Huber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will the scholarship of teaching and learning find its home with other pedagogical discussions -- on the margins of most disciplines? Or will it be registered and legitimated within the heart of the disciplines themselves? In response to an orienting essay raising such questions, scholars from 10 disciplines describe the evolution of discourse about teaching and learning in their field; the ways in which their discipline's style of discourse influences inquiry into teaching and learning; and the nature and role of intellectual exchange across disciplines around such inquiry. Whatever the future of the scholarship of teaching and learning, it will no longer be mostly a matter of parallel play. In presenting the "sounds and silences" of these 10 disciplines to a polyglot audience, this volume's contributors seek to help develop a common language "for trading ideas, enlarging our pedagogical imaginations, and strengthening our scholarly work."--
