Download or read book The Death of Jeffrey Stapleton written by Hugh Gibbons and published by Living Control Systems Publ. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who is contemplating the study of law, or wished they had done so, or is in the midst of such an endeavor, this book will provide rewards of insight into how the lawyer thinks through problems in a legal context. The Death of Jeffrey Stapleton is based on, introduces and illustrates a technically sound, testable and easy to demonstrate explanation of how people think and act that lays a foundation for psychology to become a natural science rather than merely an art. The book shows that an understanding the phenomenon of control provides an explanation for the way people behave, what behavior is, how it works, and what it accomplishes. This has profound implications for litigation where psychology is involved.

Download or read book Perceptual Control Theory written by William T. Powers and published by Living Control Systems Publ. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These introductions and readings provide a comprehensive range of information for the study of Perceptual Control Theory—papers, books, book reviews, resources on-line, demos and tutorial programs for your computer. Perceptual Control Theory, PCT, results from one man's curiosity, expertise, creativity and determination. The articles, books, and tutorial programs introduced in this volume would not have been written, certainly not this way, if it were not for William T. (Bill) Powers's seminal insight and tireless efforts across more that sixty years. The PCT explanation for what behavior is, how it works and what it accomplishes is well documented. It lays a foundation for a new natural science and can handle behavioral phenomena within a single testable concept of how living systems work. You can demonstrate it yourself with functioning computer simulations. Whether you are interested in improving education, resolving chronic psychological stress, understanding what is going on with an inconsolable baby, understanding the basis for our universal sense of justice, getting a different take on what emotions are, resolving conflict in general, becoming a better parent, manager, sales person, friend or lover, you will find fascinating insight when you review these readings and study this new explanatory concept with care.
Download or read book Professionalization Partnership and Power written by Hugh G. Petrie and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1995-08-31 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of professional development schools (PDS) has recently emerged as one of the most exciting possibilities for systematic educational reform. These "teaching hospitals" of the education profession typically are real schools in a district that take on, with a cooperating institution of higher education, special responsibilities for inquiry and professional preparation. Although still in their infancy, PDSs as places for professional preparation and of inquiry into teaching learning and teacher education have major policy potential.
Download or read book Ways of Learning and Knowing written by Hugh G. Petrie and published by Living Control Systems Publ. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugh Petrie, the author of the chapters in this anthology, spent his entire professional life as a philosopher, philosopher of education, and educational administrator fascinated by the questions of how we learn and how we know what we learn. The chapters in this anthology are selected from the articles and book chapters he published during his career. They include critiques of behaviorism and its supposed relevance to educational practice, analyses of the issues involved with interdisciplinary education, the nature of conceptual change, the role of metaphor as an essential component in learning anything radically new, a thorough-going examination of current educational testing dogma, and several discussions of the importance of ways of knowing for various educational policy issues. The works are informed throughout by the insights of evolutionary epistemology and Perceptual Control Theory. These two under-appreciated approaches show how an adaptation of thought and action to the demands of the natural and social world explain how learning and coming to know are possible. These insights are as relevant today as they were when the chapters were first written.

Download or read book Reasoning in Evaluation written by Deborah M. Fournier and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1995 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Evaluators are in the business of reasoning their way toward legitimate conclusions that clients and other stakeholder groups can use. In everyday practice, evaluators collect and combine evidence to draw conclusions about something or someone. Reasoning is the basis for what evaluators do and what they tell their clients to do. But is the reasoning sound? Evaluative conclusions are often sources of controversy, and the inferences drawn from evidence always have potential loopholes for error. In what ways can the conclusions resulting from evaluations be trusted? How can evaluators reliably combine evidence from multiple sources into a final judgment about the merit or worth of something. How, and in what ways, can evaluative conclusions be justified in an objective way similar to empirical conclusions? Obtaining answers to these perennial questions facing evaluators in every evaluation is the field's greatest unmet challenge." "To stimulate debate and encourage more scholarship in this area the authors in this volume of New Directions for Evaluation grapple with some of the thorny problems of how to better understand the reasoning process that is used to establish evaluative conclusions. The reader will leave this discussion thinking more clearly and critically about logical practice, appreciating the central role of reasoning in the successful practice of evaluation, and pondering the various avenues by which to contribute to future developments."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Security Without Obscurity written by Jeff Stapleton and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is an operational ecosystem that employs key management, cryptography, information technology (IT), information security (cybersecurity), policy and practices, legal matters (law, regulatory, contractual, privacy), and business rules (processes and procedures). A properly managed PKI requires all of these disparate disciplines to function together – coherently, efficiently, effectually, and successfully. Clearly defined roles and responsibilities, separation of duties, documentation, and communications are critical aspects for a successful operation. PKI is not just about certificates, rather it can be the technical foundation for the elusive "crypto-agility," which is the ability to manage cryptographic transitions. The second quantum revolution has begun, quantum computers are coming, and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) transitions will become PKI operation’s business as usual.
