This book was released on 2016-05-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever conjectured deeply on the goals of education in general? What could be the ideal education an individual can receive? Will education only have a focus on an employment or career path, or will character or humanistic development that results in a deeper perception of reality be part of it? Do we have a better form of education than what we have currently perceived? In this book, the author attempts to answer the above questions identifying some of the less obvious limitations of our current pedagogical and social practices. In what he terms as authentic education, the author presents a deeper and multidisciplinary approach to education in which learners are uniquely identified and characterized based on their psychological and neurological traits in order for them to be sent through individualized learning plans spanning the whole life. In an integrated approach to education and human development, individual differences are given special attention and accommodations are made for all-round humanistic development enhancing creativity and wisdom in day-today life operations. Better educated human beings in this way would become better decision makers or problem solvers and more empathic and content personalities. Such an authentic education system has the promise of providing solutions to some of our long-standing social problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought deeply about the general goals of education? What ideal education could an individual receive? Would education only have a narrow focus on a specific career path, or can character development that results in a deeper perception of reality give one the capacity to see the connectedness of various systems of this world, as suggested in the notion of systems thinking? Do we have a better form of education than what we have currently? In this book, the author attempts to answer these questions, identifying some of the less obvious limitations of our current educational, pedagogical, and social practices. In what he terms authentic education focusing on mindfulness, self-awareness and emotional intelligence that results in integrated social-emotional learning, the author presents a deeper, broader approach to education. Learners get the opportunity to mindfully self-author their learning and development paths throughout life by developing an agile, growth mindset. In this integrated approach, individuals embark on a process leading to enhanced creativity, wisdom and overall well-being. Better, more holistically educated human beings in this way become solvers of the world's most difficult problems with clearer minds, while demonstrating more empathy, compassion and content, and are passionate about working for the greater good. This education system can provide solutions, directing our planet toward sustainability.This second edition of the book Education from a Deeper and Multidisciplinary Perspective: For a Sustainable Development of the Neurodiverse Society: A Futuristic View, published just over five years ago, is an extension with around 30 percent more content than the first version. In the new version, additional discussions were included: the areas of the social and emotional learning (SEL), emotional intelligence, mindfulness/meditative/attentional-training practices, empathy/compassion/kindness, neuroplasticity, epigenetics, self-transcendence, systems-thinking, growth mindset, self-authorship, resilience, and so forth. Most of these topics were only very briefly mentioned in the first edition. However, they have become increasingly widespread in education-related industries and other business areas alike in the recent past. Many references for these topic areas were provided in the book, even though many others not listed here are available in digital and printed formats around the world. Such increasing interests in the mentioned topic areas, and their relatively newly identified connection to general education and learning over the last decade or so speak for the much-needed educational transformation urged in this book in order for us to direct our societies to sustainability in an evidence-based manner. Additional references can also be found on the author's website at http: //chandana-watagodakumbura.net/.This book is intended for anyone who is interested in deeply understanding what education is all about. However, there would be much food for thought, especially for educators in general, parents, tertiary education students, and educational policy-makers. Generally, it is felt that there was not much literature available on integrated views of education from multidisciplinary perspectives, even though we could find much in individual domains. When we conceptualise such an integrated meaning to education, it gives us deeper and broader perspectives. This book is an outcome of the author's quest for better educational experiences/transformations, based on his decades of mindful experiences as a student and academic and strong belief that there are better ways in which we can provide education to our learners, possibly with life-changing impacts, for everyone in this world, in general

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have long recognized that investments in public education contribute to the common good, enhancing national prosperity and supporting stable families, neighborhoods, and communities. Education is even more critical today, in the face of economic, environmental, and social challenges. Today's children can meet future challenges if their schooling and informal learning activities prepare them for adult roles as citizens, employees, managers, parents, volunteers, and entrepreneurs. To achieve their full potential as adults, young people need to develop a range of skills and knowledge that facilitate mastery and application of English, mathematics, and other school subjects. At the same time, business and political leaders are increasingly asking schools to develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and self-management - often referred to as "21st century skills." Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century describes this important set of key skills that increase deeper learning, college and career readiness, student-centered learning, and higher order thinking. These labels include both cognitive and non-cognitive skills- such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, effective communication, motivation, persistence, and learning to learn. 21st century skills also include creativity, innovation, and ethics that are important to later success and may be developed in formal or informal learning environments. This report also describes how these skills relate to each other and to more traditional academic skills and content in the key disciplines of reading, mathematics, and science. Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century summarizes the findings of the research that investigates the importance of such skills to success in education, work, and other areas of adult responsibility and that demonstrates the importance of developing these skills in K-16 education. In this report, features related to learning these skills are identified, which include teacher professional development, curriculum, assessment, after-school and out-of-school programs, and informal learning centers such as exhibits and museums.

Download or read book Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Play from Birth and Beyond written by Sandra Lynch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While firmly acknowledging the importance of play in early childhood, this book interrogates the assumption that play is a birthright. It pushes beyond traditional understandings of play to ask questions such as: what is the relationship between play and the arts – theatre, music and philosophy – and between play and wellbeing? How is play relevant to educational practice in the rapidly changing circumstances of today’s world? What do Australian Aboriginal conceptions of play have to offer understandings of play? The book examines how ideas of play evolve as children increasingly interact with popular culture and technology, and how developing notions of play have changed our work spaces, teaching practices, curricula, and learning environments, as well as our understanding of relationships between children and adults. This multidisciplinary volume on the subject of play combines the work of some of the world’s leading researchers in the field of early childhood education with contributions from distinguished and emerging scholars in areas as diverse as education, theatre studies, architecture, literature, philosophy, cultural studies, theology and the creative arts. Reconsidering the common focus on play in early education, to investigate its broader impact, this collection offers a refreshing and valuable addition to studies on play, reconceptualizing it for the 21st century.

Download or read book PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT BY COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY written by Edenilson Brandl and published by Edenilson Brandl. This book was released on with total page 1256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a life-altering genetic disorder that affects the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of individuals and their families. It brings with it a range of physical challenges, from progressive muscle weakness to chronic pain, but also a host of emotional and mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and feelings of loss or inadequacy. As advances in medical science allow individuals with DMD to live longer, the importance of addressing their mental health becomes increasingly evident. This book aims to bridge the gap between the physical and psychological care of those affected by DMD, offering practical tools through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help manage the emotional and psychological effects of living with this chronic condition. By combining insights into the biology and genetics of DMD with CBT techniques, this book offers a holistic approach to addressing both the physical and mental health challenges that accompany the disorder. The topics within this book range from an introduction to the basics of genetics and epigenetics to specific CBT tools designed to help individuals and their families navigate the emotional complexities of living with DMD. Whether you are a healthcare provider, caregiver, or someone affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, this resource will provide you with strategies for coping with the psychological impacts, fostering resilience, and improving overall well-being. By focusing on both the scientific and therapeutic aspects of DMD, we hope to offer a well-rounded approach to the treatment and support of those living with this condition. This book is designed to be a practical guide, filled with actionable steps, coping mechanisms, and a deep understanding of the cognitive and emotional needs that arise from living with a degenerative condition. We believe that with the right psychological support, it is possible to manage not just the physical aspects of DMD, but also to foster emotional strength and mental resilience. This is not just about surviving with DMD; it is about thriving, finding hope, and cultivating a life filled with meaning and purpose despite the challenges. We sincerely hope that this book will serve as a valuable resource for those affected by DMD and for professionals seeking to enhance their understanding and care for this community.

Book excerpt: Diverse Perspectives on NEP 2020: A Comprehensive Review of Educational Reforms is an edited collection that examines the transformative changes introduced by India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The book gathers insights from prominent educationists, scholars, and policymakers to provide a well-rounded analysis of the policy’s impact on various levels of the education system. The volume covers critical aspects of the NEP, including curriculum restructuring, skill development, and teacher training. It emphasizes the NEP’s vision of moving away from rote learning towards a more holistic and experiential approach to education. The policy’s focus on foundational literacy, early childhood care, and vocational education is highlighted as essential for shaping a stronger and more inclusive education framework. The book also emphasizes the NEP’s focus on providing equitable education, especially for marginalized communities, aiming to reduce disparities in access and quality. A central theme is the integration of technology into education, where the NEP outlines pathways for incorporating digital learning to enhance educational outcomes. The policy’s commitment to fostering critical thinking, creativity, and multilingualism is explored, with discussions on how these reforms could help students thrive in a globally competitive environment while preserving India’s rich cultural diversity. The book also delves into the challenges of implementing the NEP, particularly in rural and under-resourced areas, where issues such as infrastructure gaps, teacher shortages, and inadequate resources pose significant hurdles. Contributors critically assess these challenges while also offering constructive solutions for making the reforms more effective. Ultimately, Diverse Perspectives on NEP 2020 is a valuable resource for those seeking a deep understanding of the policy’s far-reaching reforms. It offers a balanced mix of praise and critique, making it essential reading for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in the future of education in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the ambitious vision of the NEP 1968 that aimed to propel India into the ranks of advanced nations, to the paradigm shift brought about by NEP 1986, emphasizing access, equity, and quality, we delve into the intentions, outcomes, and challenges posed by these policies. The vocational focus of NEP 1992, aligning education with India's emerging economic landscape, and the holistic approach of NEP 2020, envisioning a modern and multidisciplinary education system, are also under our analytical lens. Throughout this book, we not only aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of each policy but also to draw connections between them, uncovering the threads that link the past to the present and beyond. As we analyze the objectives, implementations, and repercussions of these policies, we seek to shed light on the lessons learned, the successes celebrated, and the challenges yet to be overcome.
