This book surveys and examines different approaches and practices that contribute to the changes in mathematics instruction, including (1) innovative approaches that bring direct changes in classroom instructional practices, (2) curriculum reforms that introduce changes in content and requirements in classroom instruction, and (3) approaches in mathematics teacher education that aim to improve teachers’ expertise and practices. It also surveys relevant theory and methodology development in studying and assessing mathematics instruction. Classroom instruction is commonly seen as one of the key factors contributing to students’ learning of mathematics, but much remains to be understood abo...
Environmental risk factors – noise, air pollution, chemical agents, and ultraviolet radiation – impact human health by contributing to the onset and progression of noncommunicable diseases. Accordingly, there is need for preclinical and clinical studies and comprehensive summary of major findings. This book is a state-of-the-art summary of these myriad severe life stressors. The chapters on the different pollutants focus on disease mechanisms (cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic disorders) and on oxidative stress and inflammation. The editors emphasize emerging mechanisms based on dysregulation of the circadian clock, the microbiome, epigenetic pathways, and cognitive function by environmental stressors, and introduce the exposome concept while highlighting existing research gaps. Key Features: Links various environmental stressors to the incidence of noncommunicable diseases Includes chapters on airborne toxins, chemical pollutants, noise, and ultraviolet radiation stressors Contributions from an international team of leading researchers Summarizes the impacts of stressors on disease mechanisms
As enunciações que compõem a presente obra buscam responder positivamente ao imperativo ético-político enunciado por Lacan, há mais de 50 anos, visando estar à altura do desafio que as questões de nosso tempo alocam. Cada capítulo, redigido por sujeitos que se deixam atravessar pelo discurso psicanalítico, intenta tocar as modulações complexas que o real vem apresentando à escuta, teoria e prática psicanalíticas hoje.
There has been an increased use of technology in educational settings since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the benefits of including such technologies to support education, there is still the need for vigilance to counter the inherent risk that comes with the use of such technologies as the protection of students and their information is paramount to the effective deployment of any technology in education. The Handbook of Research on Current Trends in Cybersecurity and Educational Technology explores the full spectrum of cybersecurity and educational technology today and brings awareness to the recent developments and use cases for emergent educational technology. Covering key topics such as artificial intelligence, gamification, robotics, and online learning, this premier reference source is ideal for computer scientists, industry professionals, policymakers, administrators, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teacher preparation programs modified their practices to fit the delivery modes of school districts while developing new ways to prepare candidates. Governmental agencies established new guidelines to fit the drastic shift in education caused by the pandemic, and P-12 school systems made accommodations to support teacher education candidates. The pandemic disrupted all established systems and norms; however, many practices and strategies emerged in educator preparation programs that will have a lasting positive impact on P-20 education and teacher education practices. Such practices include the reevaluation of schooling practices with shifts in engagement strate...
The manufacture of plastic as well as its indiscriminate disposal and destruction by incineration pollutes atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic ecosystems. Synthetic plastics do not break down; they accumulate in the environment as macro-, micro-, and nanoplastics. These particulate plastics are a major source of pollutants in soil and marine ecosystems. Particulate Plastics in Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments provides a fundamental understanding of the sources of these plastics and the threats they pose to the environment. The book demonstrates the ecotoxicity of particulate plastics using case studies and offers management practices to mitigate particulate plastic contamination in the...
Digital learning proves that the digital revolution has almost no limits in the world. The extension of e-learning to digital learning has completely changed training and learning habits. In universities and companies and even at home, anytime and anywhere, innovative e-learning tools, such as online videos, e-learning quizzes, interactive games, and digital learning courses, can enhance knowledge exchange. The Handbook of Research on Scripting, Media Coverage, and Implementation of E-Learning Training in LMS Platforms considers the design and development of management systems, learner profiles, learning activities, and e-learning projects and discusses the design, development, and implementation in an LMS platform of e-learning projects based on educational engineering models. Covering key topics such as teaching practices, distance learning, and artificial intelligence, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, administrators, policymakers, researchers, academicians, scholars, instructors, and students.
Nesta obra, encontraremos estudos que registram o fortalecimento crescente dos vínculos entre a UnB e a Escola em prol da consolidação de espaços formativos e de desenvolvimento profissional docente, que integrem licenciandos; professores que ensinam matemática; formadores de professores; estudantes da pós-graduação e demais pesquisadores. Vínculos estes que têm sido construídos com o entendimento de que mudanças qualitativas se concretizam quando a escola e a universidade, em conjunto, se propõem a transformar o currículo e as práticas pedagógicas de modo sistemático e crítico. Esta publicação é destinada a estudantes, pesquisadores, professores e interessados pela Educação Matemática.
Este livro é dedicado a brancos e negros que queiram olhar para a fragilidade da psique, em relação ao racismo estrutural brasileiro. Tanto teóricos brancos quanto negros estarão na discussão da psique em brancos e negros. Divido com os leitores o estudo da branquitude na clínica psicológica. Apresento, inicialmente, um histórico sobre o racismo no Brasil da escravidão até a pós-abolição. Um movimento de exclusão aos valores dos povos africanos escravizados e dos povos originários. A vivência do racismo estrutural brasileiro surge como identificada com a ideia de raça e de poder, advindas do colonialismo em sua construção sócio-histórica. O cliente branco chega ao consu...
This edited monograph contains a comprehensive overview of educational developments in the fields of operations research (OR) and management science (MS). The book outlines key factors in OR/MS curricular programs and analyses different approaches regarding student enrollment and failure rates. The approach is genuinely international, whereas the focus lies on the European level. The target audience primarily comprises public policy planners in education, deans and school directors as well as program coordinators.
