Download or read book Failing Gloriously and Other Essays written by Shawn Graham and published by Digital Press at the University of North Dakota, T. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failing Gloriously and Other Essays documents Shawn Graham's odyssey through the digital humanities and digital archaeology against the backdrop of the 21st-century university. At turns hilarious, depressing, and inspiring, Graham's book presents a contemporary take on the academic memoir, but rather than celebrating the victories, he reflects on the failures and considers their impact on his intellectual and professional development. These aren't heroic tales of overcoming odds or paeans to failure as evidence for a macho willingness to take risks. They're honest lessons laced with a genuine humility that encourages us to think about making it safer for ourselves and others to fail.A foreword from Eric Kansa and an afterword by Neha Gupta engage the lessons of Failing Gloriously and consider the role of failure in digital archaeology, the humanities, and social sciences.

Download or read book Parents Cultural Belief Systems written by Sara Harkness and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illuminating new volume offers a multifaceted view of parenting cultural belief systems - their origins in culturally constructed parental experience, their expressions in parental practices, and their consequences for children's well-being and growth. Discussing issues with implications beyond the study of parenthood, the book shows how the analysis of child outcomes which relate to parents' cultural belief systems (or parental "ethnotheories") can provide valuable insights into the nature and meaning of family and self in society and, in some cases, a basis for culturally sensitive therapeutic interventions. Illuminating the powerful influence of parents' cultural belief systems on the health and development of children, this volume will be welcomed by a broad audience. Anthropologists and psychologists interested in cultural theory and the interface of self and society will find a rich source of ideas and information. Parent educators, family therapists, pediatricians, and others who deal with ethnically diverse populations will discover invaluable information on what makes parents think and act the way they do. The book can be used as a primary text for courses in cognitive anthropology and cultural psychology, and as an auxiliary text for culturally oriented courses in lifespan development, education, health, and human services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A range of collaborative governance mechanisms has developed in many policy arenas in the past decade. The study on governance for health in the 21st century tracks governance innovations that have been introduced to address priority determinants of health and summarizes them as five strategic approaches to smart governance for health. The study relates the emergence of joint action of the health sector and non-health sectors, of public and private actors and of citizens to achieve seminal changes in 21st-century societies. They include a new understanding of health and well-being as key features of what constitutes a successful society and vibrant economy and the higher value placed on equity and participation. The study further describes the type of structures and mechanisms that enable collaboration and outlines the new role that health ministers and ministries and public health agencies need to adopt in such a challenging policy environment.

Download or read book Disciplined Mind written by Howard Gardner and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brilliant and revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences reexamines the goals of education to support a more educated society for future generations. Howard Gardner’s concept of multiple intelligences has been hailed as perhaps the most profound insight into education since the work of Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget, and even John Dewey. Here, in The Disciplined Mind, Garner pulls together the threads of his previous works and looks beyond such issues as charters, vouchers, unions, and affirmative action in order to explore the larger questions of what constitutes an educated person and how this can be achieved for all students. Gardner eloquently argues that the purpose of K–12 education should be to enhance students’ deep understanding of the truth (and falsity), beauty (and ugliness), and goodness (and evil) as defined by their various cultures. By exploring the theory of evolution, the music of Mozart, and the lessons of the Holocaust as a set of examples that illuminates the nature of truth, beauty, and morality, The Disciplined Mind envisions how younger generations will rise to the challenges of the future—while preserving the traditional goals of a “humane” education. Gardner’s ultimate goal is the creation of an educated generation that understands the physical, biological, and societal world in their own personal context as well as in a broader world view. But even as Gardner persuasively argues the merits of his approach, he recognizes the difficulty of developing one universal, ideal form of education. In an effort to reconcile conflicting educational viewpoints, he proposes the creation of six different educational pathways that, when taken together, can satisfy people’s concern for student learning and their widely divergent views about knowledge and understanding overall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La formación del profesorado es uno de los elementos indispensables para lograr la mejora de la calidad de la educación; más aún, cuando se encuentran en la etapa inicial de la adquisición de competencias docentes. Por eso, en este libro se ofrecen contenidos y reflexiones relativos al aprendizaje emocional y social en la primera infancia, con el deseo de aportar una síntesis de algunos aspectos que deben ser tenidos en cuenta en la formación de los maestros y maestras de Educación Infantil. En el primer capítulo, se ofrecen algunas claves sobre el acompañamiento respetuoso en la infancia; se ahonda en la trascendencia del ambiente en el desarrollo emocional y se propone una conceptualización de las emociones. Finaliza con la descripción de algunas emociones y su incidencia en el desarrollo infantil. En el segundo capítulo, se exponen algunas de las teorías del aprendizaje emocional y social; concretamente, se abordan brevemente la del aprendizaje observacional de Bandura y la del aprendizaje conductual; el objetivo es entender cómo se adquieren, en la primera infancia, las conductas emocionales y sociales. Asimismo, se describe uno de los constructos más recientes, como es la inteligencia emocional; desde su aparición en el año 1990 ha sido ampliamente utilizado para explicar el comportamiento humano y sus implicaciones en ámbitos educativo, organizacional y de salud. En este capítulo nos centramos en el ámbito educativo y su desarrollo en la primera infancia; por otro lado, se detallan los modelos teóricos más relevantes y sus instrumentos de medida; de esta manera, se enuncian algunas de las características más relevantes de los modelos de IE-habilidad de Mayer y Salovey, de inteligencia emocional social de Bar-On, de competencias de Goleman y de IE-rasgo de Petrides y Furnham. Finalmente, se alude al concepto de educación emocional y su concreción en cinco competencias relevantes para el correcto desarrollo emocional y social de los niños y niñas de 0 a 6 años: conciencia emocional, regulación emocional, autonomía emocional, conciencia social y competencias para la vida y el bienestar. En la búsqueda del deseado equilibrio emocional y social se insiste en la trascendencia de incorporar en los currículos escolares una educación emocional. El fin último de esa educación emocional ha de ser la consecución de competencias emocionales, entendidas estas como el conjunto de conocimientos, capacidades, habilidades y actitudes necesarias para tomar conciencia, comprender, expresar y regular de forma apropiada los fenómenos emocionales (Bisquerra et al., 2010). En el capítulo tercero, ahondaremos en las aportaciones de la neurociencia y su relevancia en nuestro desempeño docente. Conoceremos las claves anatómicas y funcionales del cerebro y su incidencia en el desarrollo infantil y el aprendizaje. Prestaremos una especial atención al desarrollo emocional y el poder de la educación como herramienta que incide en el cerebro de los más pequeños. Las funciones ejecutivas y su relevancia en la regulación cognitiva, conductual y emocional serán igualmente trascendentes en este capítulo. Concluiremos con unas claves para ayudar a nuestros niños a adaptarse con éxito a las demandas del entorno escolar, familiar y social desde unas prácticas basadas en la evidencia que señalan el irreemplazable papel de las emociones y del trabajo cooperativo. En el cuarto capítulo, se presentan propuestas prácticas para la incorporación de la educación emocional al currículum de la etapa de Educación Infantil. Previamente, se muestran las características de la educación emocional y su presencia en la legislación vigente. En este sentido, además de la presencia en la LOMLOE (2020) o en el Real Decreto 95/2022 que ordena las enseñanzas mínimas de la Educación Infantil (2022), se realiza un breve recorrido por las características de la Ley Orgánica 8/2021, de 4 de junio, de Protección integral de la infancia y la adolescencia frente a la violencia (LOPIVI), por sus relaciones con los fines de la educación emocional para procurar el bienestar en el alumnado. La intervención para la educación de las emociones requiere de sistematicidad en el diseño, el desarrollo y la evaluación de los programas dedicados a estos fines. El rigor necesario al desarrollar las actividades que conforman los programas tiene implicaciones en la formación de docentes o de otros agentes educativos, como los padres y las madres. Los beneficios personales y profesionales de la adquisición de competencias emocionales por parte de quienes desarrollan la actividad docente en la etapa de Educación Infantil justifican esta formación, por sus efectos positivos en el alumnado y, si cabe, en los agentes educativos de su contexto más próximo. Se presenta una selección de aplicaciones prácticas de la educación emocional en la primera infancia que se fundamentan en los modelos de inteligencia emocional y del aprendizaje social y emocional. Una revisión de los resultados de la investigación educativa nos ofrece una variedad de beneficios para el alumnado, por lo que la educación de las emociones merece estar integrada en el currículum, un lugar destacado en la programación del aula de esta etapa educativa. Finalmente, en el último capítulo del libro, se presenta una brillante propuesta en la que se repiensa el acompañamiento emocional a través de los cuentos tradicionales. A través de imágenes arquetípicas, los cuentos tradicionales recogen todo lo que convive en nuestro interior (lo agresivo, lo vergonzoso, lo miedoso, lo valiente…); estos símbolos impactan directamente en nuestro inconsciente. En su Psicoanálisis de los cuentos de hadas, Betthelheim (2024) ahonda en el poder transformador de los cuentos de hadas: «Para poder dominar los problemas psicológicos del crecimiento (…) el niño necesita comprender lo que está ocurriendo en su yo consciente y enfrentarse, también, con lo que sucede en su inconsciente». Los niños necesitan cuentos. Relatos que aborden sus temores, dificultades y anhelos desde un lugar seguro, el que ofrece el espacio mágico de la narración. Nuestra propuesta, mostrada en este capítulo, alineada con la de Martínez-Pardo (2018), parte de un acompañamiento emocional en el que se permite al niño entrar en contacto con sus emociones (sean estas las que sean). Un verdadero aprendizaje precisa de una vivencia genuina, que ofrezca al menor la oportunidad de, una vez que ha sentido y transitado por ese mundo emocional, adquirir estrategias para aprender a vivir con todo lo que siente. En este acompañamiento emocional, la persona educadora resulta crucial (los cuentos no sirven para dormir a los niños, sino para despertar a los adultos). Ayudar al niño en ese viaje interior precisa de un trabajo emocional previo del adulto. En palabras de Martínez-Pardo (2018): «Para acompañar a los niños en los angostos caminos de los bosques oscuros uno tiene que haber aprendido a hacerlo primero. Si no, corremos el peligro de no dejarles entrar, por nuestro miedo, negándoles así la oportunidad de orientarse en la oscuridad». Como conclusión, podemos afirmar que los procesos madurativos infantiles precisan de un ambiente respetuoso, sabedor de la idiosincrasia de esta etapa. Conocer sobre el desarrollo evolutivo del niño nos permite despojarnos de tópicos y prácticas poco saludables. Como consecuencia, hemos de reevaluar las prácticas educativas que, por inercia, imperan aún hoy en día en nuestros estilos educativos y escuchar, libre de prejuicios, el lenguaje emocional de nuestros niños. Dada la omnipresencia de la emoción en los primeros años de desarrollo, resulta necesario adecuar nuestras intervenciones al ritmo madurativo de cada niño para lograr un verdadero respeto, fundamentado en el conocimiento y la observación (González-Vara, 2015).

Download or read book Overcoming Autism written by Lynn Kern Koegel, Ph.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.
