Download or read book Teaching Tech Together written by Greg Wilson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically, their founders and instructors are often teaching themselves how to teach. There's a better way. This book presents evidence-based practices that will help you create and deliver lessons that work and build a teaching community around them. Topics include the differences between different kinds of learners, diagnosing and correcting misunderstandings, teaching as a performance art, what motivates and demotivates adult learners, how to be a good ally, fostering a healthy community, getting the word out, and building alliances with like-minded groups. The book includes over a hundred exercises that can be done individually or in groups, over 350 references, and a glossary to help you navigate educational jargon.

Download or read book Orientaci n educativa y tutoria written by Dionisio del Rio Sadornil and published by EDITORIAL SANZ Y TORRES S.L.. This book was released on 2020-05-17 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orientación Educativa y Tutoría forman parte esencial e indisoluble de los procesos educativos y docentes; comparten objetivos y funciones que se matizan a la vez que se diferencian en cada una de las etapas evolutivas que las personas viven a lo largo de toda la vida. Las demandas sociales, las necesidades de los destinatarios y las características de los distintos contextos determinan en cada momento el modelo de intervención, los responsables, la modalidad de Plan de Acción Tutorial, cuándo y dónde se va aplicar el plan, cómo se van a evaluar los resultados y el propio plan. La obra se refiere, de forma conjunta, a ambos aspectos, la Orientación y la Tutoría, que entendemos corresponden a un mismo campo disciplinar: la Orientación Educativa, entendida como el conjunto de teorías que fundamentan las metodologías que facilitan la planificación, el seguimiento y la evaluación de la intervención psicopedagógica y sociopedagógica, tanto de las personas en las distintas etapas de la vida, como de las propias instituciones educativas; todo ello atendiendo a la diversidad de necesidades de cada una de las personas y también de los grupos en su dinámica intergrupal e intragrupal. La orientación educativa se concreta —fundamentalmente en el aula, aunque también de centro— en la función tutorial o tutoría; ambas no pueden separarse de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. La tutoría escolar, como proceso de ayuda a los alumnos y demás miembros de la comunidad educativa, está abierta a la planificación de actuaciones con las que responder a las necesidades de sus destinatarios en todas las dimensiones; a atender a la diversidad de centros, de personas y de escolares; a prevenir dificultades y a solucionar problemas; a ayudar a los alumnos a optimizar el rendimiento. Dentro del contexto de la orientación, es garantía de calidad y eficacia de la enseñanza. Implica trabajar en equipo con los equipos docentes, el orientador y demás especialistas y contribuir, de esta manera, a que todo tipo de experiencias se vayan integrando y se conviertan en elementos de referencia de proyectos cada vez más autónomos de vida personal, académica y profesional. La obra Orientación Educativa y Tutoría se estructura en torno a tres núcleos de referencia: 1) Orientación Educativa y Tutoría: bases teóricas; 2) Recursos de acción tutorial en función de la diversidad contextual e institucional; 3) La acción tutorial en las instituciones educativas. En la primera parte, y a lo largo de los cinco capítulos que la conforman, se desarrollan las bases que fundamentan la Acción Tutorial, que se concretan en los siguientes aspectos: en los capítulos 1 y 2 se analiza el origen de la tutoría educativa y su posterior desarrollo, las características, funciones, áreas y niveles de intervención; todo ello en el contexto del Sistema Educativo de nuestro país. En el capítulo 3, se estudia la acción tutorial en función de los contextos diversos en los que se insertan los centros educativos a los que pertenecen los escolares; se presta especial atención a los modelos de orientación que más se adecuan a cada uno de los contextos estudiados. En el capítulo 4, el tema de estudio es la figura del Tutor; en primer lugar, se describen sus funciones, roles y competencias, todo ello desde la triple perspectiva: los alumnos, las familias y la institución educativa; a continuación se trata el perfil del tutor, las aptitudes y las actitudes que debe poseer para poder atender a las necesidades de las personas, los grupos y la propia institución educativa. El capítulo 5 está dedicado al Plan de Acción Tutorial (PAT); se clarifica el concepto y enuncian las características; se describen los elementos del plan, las implicaciones de cada uno de los agentes, los niveles de concreción, así como las tareas de cada uno de los responsables; se formulan los objetivos; se expone la forma de proceder para elaborar y evaluar el Plan de Acción Tutorial en contextos diferentes; se finaliza con una ejemplificación de un PAT para Educación Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria Obligatoria. En la segunda parte, se aborda el estudio de los recursos de Acción Tutorial en función de la diversidad contextual que los educadores han de conocer, saber aplicar y también evaluar en contextos educativos diversos, siempre en función de las necesidades así como de las características evolutivas de sus destinatarios y de la propia institución escolar. Consta de cinco capítulos en los que, desde distintos enfoques teóricos, se desarrollan las técnicas, estrategias y programas cuya eficacia ha sido probada por la investigación y que pueden ser aplicados por profesionales con la formación específica impartida en las Facultades de Educación. La mayor parte de dichos recursos son de carácter preventivo; algunos están más orientados a solucionar los problemas de desarrollo y ajuste personal, de aprendizaje y de relaciones interpersonales. En el capítulo 6, se desarrolla el tema de la mediación para solucionar conflictos; en una primera parte, más teórica, se describe su origen y desarrollo, las características específicas, los ámbitos de aplicación y los modelos que pueden servir de referencia; en la segunda, de tipo más práctico, se trata la forma de llevar a cabo el proceso mediador, los roles, funciones y el perfil del mediador. En el capítulo 7, se estudia la entrevista como estrategia de acción tutorial: su naturaleza y características, los elementos que la constituyen, los tipos, los factores que influyen en el éxito o en el fracaso de la misma y la forma de llevarla a cabo. El capítulo 8 está dedicado al estudio de las técnicas y programas que facilitan el aprendizaje de conductas positivas y ayudan a eliminar las negativas. El enfoque, tanto en la descripción como en la aplicación, es de carácter cognitivo-conductual. En el capítulo 9, se analizan las técnicas de grupo que pueden ser utilizadas en el trabajo de tutoría; se ha optado por una clasificación sencilla que facilita su aprendizaje: técnicas que facilitan el conocimiento del grupo; técnicas de exposición, de debate, para el desarrollo de la creatividad y la solución de problemas; otras técnicas. El capítulo 10 está dedicado al análisis de las técnicas para mejorar el aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico; se reflexiona sobre los factores que influyen positiva y negativamente en las distintas áreas de aprendizaje y de rendimiento; se exponen los distintos enfoques teóricos que fundamentan dichas técnicas; se describen las más significativas y se explica cómo planificarlas e implementarlas. En la tercera parte, se analizan los elementos diferenciadores de la Acción Tutorial en función de los niveles educativos y de las características de las instituciones educativas. El eje conductor es el desarrollo evolutivo de los alumnos por el fuerte paralelismo entre dicho desarrollo y la estructura del Sistema Educativo Español. Las bases teóricas que fundamentan los contenidos de los temas se toman de la Psicología Cognitiva, la Teoría General de Sistemas aplicada a la educación y los avances de la Modificación de Conducta en contextos escolares con dificultades. En cada uno de los temas, se tratan: los aspectos relativos a la justificación de la tutoría en todos los niveles educativos obligatorios y no obligatorios; los objetivos y las funciones de la tutoría en cada una de las etapas; las líneas generales de actuación y los ámbitos específicos de la acción tutorial; las técnicas que mejor se adecuan a las características de la etapa, así como a las situaciones problemáticas que han de ser prevenidas o remediadas, siempre teniendo en cuenta la diversidad y multiculturalidad que se vive en los centros educativos de nuestro país. Se finaliza con el apartado dedicado a los Planes de Acción Tutorial con la pretensión de que puedan servir de guía para la elaboración de planes concretos para cada situación.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Biomechatronics Using Mathematical Models provides an appropriate methodology to detect and measure diseases and injuries relating to human kinematics and kinetics. It features mathematical models that, when applied to engineering principles and techniques in the medical field, can be used in assistive devices that work with bodily signals. The use of data in the kinematics and kinetics analysis of the human body, including musculoskeletal kinetics and joints and their relationship to the central nervous system (CNS) is covered, helping users understand how the complex network of symbiotic systems in the skeletal and muscular system work together to allow movement controlled by the CNS. With the use of appropriate electronic sensors at specific areas connected to bio-instruments, we can obtain enough information to create a mathematical model for assistive devices by analyzing the kinematics and kinetics of the human body. The mathematical models developed in this book can provide more effective devices for use in aiding and improving the function of the body in relation to a variety of injuries and diseases. - Focuses on the mathematical modeling of human kinematics and kinetics - Teaches users how to obtain faster results with these mathematical models - Includes a companion website with additional content that presents MATLAB examples

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes stock of where we are in science education research, and considers where we ought now to be going. It explores how and whether the research effort in science education has contributed to improvements in the practice of teaching science and the science curriculum. It contains contributions from an international group of science educators. Each chapter explores a specific area of research in science education, considering why this research is worth doing, and its potential for development. Together they look candidly at important general issues such as the impact of research on classroom practice and the development of science education as a progressive field of research. The book was produced in celebration of the work of the late Rosalind Driver. All the principal contributors to the book had professional links with her, and the three sections of the book focus on issues that were of central importance in her work: research on teaching and learning in science; the role of science within the school curriculum and the nature of the science education we ought to be providing for young people; and the achievements of, and future agenda for, research in science education.

Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].
