Download or read book Re examining Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Science Education written by Amanda Berry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) has been adapted, adopted, and taken up in a diversity of ways in science education since the concept was introduced in the mid-1980s. Now that it is so well embedded within the language of teaching and learning, research and knowledge about the construct needs to be more useable and applicable to the work of science teachers, especially so in these times when standards and other measures are being used to define their knowledge, skills, and abilities. Re-examining Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Science Education is organized around three themes: Re-examining PCK: Issues, ideas and development; Research developments and trajectories; Emerging themes in PCK research. Featuring the most up-to-date work from leading PCK scholars in science education across the globe, this volume maps where PCK has been, where it is going, and how it now informs and enhances knowledge of science teachers’ professional knowledge. It illustrates how the PCK research agenda has developed and can make a difference to teachers’ practice and students’ learning of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because what we do in staff development can best be understood in terms of Contexts, Strategies, and Structures, the remainder of the book features distinguished educators who write from their own unique experiential and theoretical stances. Jacqueline Ancess describes how teachers in New York City secondary schools increase their own learning while improving student outcomes • Milbrey W. McLaughlin and Joel Zarrow demonstrate how teachers learn to use data to improve their practice and meet educational standards • Lynne Miller presents a case study of a long-lived school, university partnership • Beverly Falk recounts stories of teachers working together to develop performance assessments, to understand their student’s learning, to re-think their curriculum, and much more • Laura Stokes analyzes a school that successfully uses inquiry groups. There are further contributions (including some from novice teachers) by Anna Richert Ershler, Ann Lieberman, Diane Wood, Sarah Warshauer Freedman, and Joseph P. McDonald. These powerful exemplars from practice provide a much-needed overview of what matters and what really works in professional development today.

This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing Science, Mathematics and ICT (SMICT) in Secondary Education is based on country studies from ten Sub-Saharan African countries: Botswana, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, and a literature review. It reveals a number of huge challenges in SMICT education in sub-Saharan Africa: poorly-resourced schools; large classes; a curriculum hardly relevant to the daily lives of students; a lack of qualified teachers; and inadequate teacher education programs. Through examining country case studies, this paper discusses the lessons for improvement of SMICT in secondary education in Africa.

Download or read book Handbook of Multilingualism and Multiculturalism written by Geneviève Zarate and published by Archives contemporaines. This book was released on 2011 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built around the concept of linguistic and cultural plurality, this book defines language as an instrument of action and symbolic power. Plurality is conceived here as : a complex array of voices, perspectives and approaches that seeks to preserve the complexity of the multilingual and multicultural enterprise, including language learning and teaching ; a coherent system of relationships among various languages, research traditions and research sites that informs qualitative methods of inquiry into multilingualism and its uses in everyday life ; a view of language as structured sociohistorical object, observable from several simultaneous spatiotemporal standpoints, such as that of daily interactions or that which sustains the symbolic power of institutions. This book is addressed to teacher trainers, young researchers, decision makers, teachers concerned with the role of languages in the evolution of societies and educational systems. It aims to elicit discussion by articulating practices, field observations and analyses based on a multidisciplinary conceptual framework.

Download or read book Educational Strategies for Small Island States written by David Atchoarena and published by UNESCO. This book was released on 1993 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent emergence of small states on the international scene has generated renewed interest among researchers and practitioners. This booklet describes the significance, relevance, and practical implications for educational planning of insularity and small size. The empirical basis for this publication is drawn primarily from the Caribbean and South Pacific regions. Following the foreword and preface, part 1 relocates the theme of small states in a theoretical and historical perspective. It describes the characteristics common to small states that constitute both constraints to and advantages for educational planning. Part 2 analyzes the implications of small size for educational planning. It provides a statistical overview of education in small states that illustrates problems they face and the significance of context-dependent factors for these countries' educational behaviors and circumstances. The third part proposes a strategic reflection encompassing the key aspects of planning and management of education. Small size and insularity represent a double challenge to educational change. Strategic reflection is organized around several major functions: forecasting, pedagogy, administration, and cooperation. Particular attention is paid to archipelago states because of their extreme specificity. Five tables are included. (LMI)

Download or read book Guide du formateur written by Jean-Marie De Ketele and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2007-04-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage est prioritairement destiné à tous ceux qui organisent, animent ou évaluent des sessions de formation. Il intéressera également ceux qui, de près ou de loin, sont confrontés à la conception et à l'évaluation de programmes d'enseignement. L'ouvrage est conçu, avant tout, comme un outil professionnel du formateur. Il répond successivement aux questions suivantes : - Comment organiser une session de formation ? Depuis l'analyse des besoins jusqu'à la planification concrète de la session. - Comment la gérer et l'animer ? - Comment l'évaluer et en assurer le suivi ? - De quels outils théoriques a besoin le formateur (objectifs, évaluation, méthodes) ? - A titre d'illustration, comment concevoir une session de formation à l'évaluation des programmes d'enseignement ? Et par conséquent, comment concevoir un programme, l'évaluer a priori à l'aide d'une grille ou en évaluer les effets a posteriori ? Le présent ouvrage est le résultat de plusieurs sessions de formation de formateurs organisées conjointement par l'École internationale de Bordeaux et le Centre International Francophone pour l'Education en Chimie à l'intention de formateurs et de décideurs en provenance des différents pays francophones d'Afrique, d'Amérique, d'Asie et d' Europe. L'ouvrage a tenu compte des préoccupations des participants. C'est pourquoi il comprend un lexique dont la fonction essentielle est de fournir un langage commun, simple mais rigoureux.
