Download or read book Understanding Ubuntu for Enhancing Intercultural Communications written by Mukuni, Joseph and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the importance of cross-cultural competence, it is important that scholars from different parts of the world describe the conceptual frameworks underlying their cultures to provide people with knowledge helpful for understanding and navigating cultural barriers and promoting harmony and productivity in places of work. The literature is replete with reference points for understanding Eurocentric worldviews. Little has been written about non-Eurocentric worldviews with respect to the subject of socio-cultural harmony and interpersonal relations such as Ubuntu, Africa’s indigenous philosophy and its relevancy. This philosophy teaches the importance of maintaining good human relations and sensitivity to the wellbeing of other people both as individuals and collectively. In the teachings of this African conceptual framework, the wellbeing of others is more important than that of self. Another important distinguishing feature of Ubuntu is that it places great value on communalism as opposed to individualism. The tenets of Ubuntu include human-centeredness, teamwork, collaboration, cooperation, respect for diversity of opinion, and joint consideration of problems. These tenets can be applied for intercultural competence and communications. Understanding Ubuntu for Enhancing Intercultural Communications sheds some light on Ubuntu, Africa’s unique philosophy, and explores how the knowledge of Ubuntu can help minimize cross-cultural communication barriers. Within this context, the chapters work to make readers aware of the existence of an African worldview, specifically Ubuntu, and its possible contribution to interpersonal communication. This book also shares the lived experiences of being born and raised in sub-Saharan Africa where Ubuntu is a way of life. This book is essential for businesses seeking to expand internationally and managers overseeing diverse workforces as well as business executives, government officials, public relations officers, academicians, researchers, and students including those studying African studies, world religions, international business, international relations, management, communication, and more.

Download or read book Post Covid 19 Learning Recovery written by S. Veena and published by Shanlax Publications. This book was released on with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covid-19 has impacted and changed the education sector to a different level. Due to the widespread effects of COVID-19, schools and other educational institutions had to close. In an effort to lessen the effects of COVID-19, the majority of governments first chose to temporarily close schools.Children's learning has suffered as a result of the pandemic's prolonged school closures. In this way, a whole school year has passed with little to no curriculum learning in the present class. However, this is merely one type of learning loss. The pervasive problem of pupils "forgetting" what they learned in a previous session is equally concerning because it represents a setback in their academic learning. This involves losing fundamental skills that are the cornerstone of additional learning, such reading comprehension and addition and multiplication, which they had previously mastered. Systemic, diverse, and well-coordinated activities are necessary for learning recovery. In addition to focusing on teacher capacity and support and disseminating ideas that all instructors can apply, the strategy needs to be comprehensive and long-term. For learning recovery to be effective, equitable, and long-lasting, it must also be transformational. The foundation of curriculum reform is meaningful learning and teaching, coupled with an awareness of the system's capacity to implement the reform stages as effectively as possible. Curriculum reform is not a stand-alone process. Whether it's a learner-centered, spiral, technology-centered, or curriculum for the twenty-first century, any curriculum that adheres to pedagogy is appreciated. It is vital to plan and organise the shift so that it incorporates the core topics of reading and numeracy and also establishes a connection between the learner and his or her surroundings and culture. By putting such strategies into practice, the failure factors of curricular reform will be slowed down. The idea that the present is the best predictor of the future will help support groups choose and create a curriculum that equips kids to deal with the fallout from challenging circumstances such as the pandemic and others of a similar nature. Long-term gains in children's learning, however, depend on pre-service teachers' education being of higher quality. Children's learning may be enhanced by strengthening the ICT environment for instruction, but only if teachers' ICT competencies are also improved. To connect the learning of children with the professional development of teachers, more study is required. Students' learning may benefit from increased teacher motivation brought about by certification programmes, pay structure modifications, improved school leadership, and more transparent evaluation procedures. As a result, the book covers a wide range of important subjects pertaining to education in the post-pandemic era, such as how to establish a strong rapport between students and teachers, systemic interventions that reframe teachers' roles as "edupreneurs," the effects of digital technology on the teaching-learning process, techniques for filling in knowledge gaps in curricula, pedagogy, and assessments, and safeguards for private school sustainability. All those with an interest in the post-pandemic recovery of schools, with a focus on creating a fair, inclusive, and comprehensive national education system, may find the book to be a useful resource.

Download or read book Timeless Learning written by Ira Socol and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reinvent public schools with proven, innovative practices Our homes, communities, and the world itself need the natural assets our children bring with them as learners, and which they often lose over time on the assembly line that pervades most of the public education system today. We see no actions as more important in school than developing, supporting, and reinforcing children's sense of agency, the value of their voices, and their potential to influence their own communities. In Timeless Learning, an award-winning team of leaders, Chief Technology Officer Ira Socol, Superintendent Pam Moran, and Lab Schools Principal Chad Ratliff demonstrate how you can implement innovative practices that have shown remarkable success. The authors use progressive design principles to inform pathways to disrupt traditions of education today and show you how to make innovations real that will have a timeless and meaningful impact on students, keeping alive the natural curiosity and passion for learning with which children enter school. Discover the power of project-based and student-designed learning Find out what “maker learning” entails Launch connected and interactive digital learning Benefit from the authors’ “opening up learning” space and time Using examples from their own successful district as well as others around the country, the authors create a deep map of the processes necessary to move from schools in which content-driven, adult-determined teaching has been the traditional norm to new learning spaces and communities in which context-driven, child-determined learning is the progressive norm.
