This edited volume provides an in-depth exploration of a theoretical framework supporting Early Childhood Science Education research and teaching best practices. Particularly by presenting the concept of the Precursor Model from an epistemological, psychological, and didactical point of view at Early Childhood Science Education. The book examines and discusses the nature of Precursor Models and their use for early science teaching and learning. It scrutinizes different aspects of the construction of such models applied in early childhood education settings and contexts. Several empirical studies are presented within diverse scientific domains, as well as in international educational contexts...
There have been seismic shifts recently occurring in the realm of education. There is an important transition from a focus on "qualification" to "competence" in the world of work, and the need to equip educators with the skills and methodologies required to meet these changing demands has never been greater. The role of a teacher can no longer be a static practitioner, but rather a dynamic decision-maker, ready to shape developing minds. Fostering Pedagogical Innovation Through Effective Instructional Design is an expansive research book that delves deep into the intricate art of teaching, emphasizing that pedagogy is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. This scholarly work asserts that effecti...
This study looks specifically inside the programmes for adult LLN (Language, Literacy, Numeracy) learners, with a focus on formative assessment – referring to the frequent assessment of learner understanding and progress to identify needs and shape teaching and learning.
In an era marked by migration conflicts and cultural tensions, the challenge of fostering intercultural understanding and promoting peace is more pressing than ever. Traditional education methods often need to be revised to address these complex issues, leaving a void in the efforts to bridge cultural divides and promote global harmony. Impacts of Museums on Global Communication offers a solution to this problem by exploring the transformative potential of Japanese grassroots peace museums as innovative tools for peace education. Through a comprehensive analysis of empirical research findings, we highlight the critical role of creativity in leveraging museums and interactive media exhibitions to instill values of intercultural understanding. Focusing on Japan's unique approach to disseminating the value of peace, we provide professionals and researchers with fresh insights into practical strategies for promoting peace education in diverse cultural contexts.
This book contains research on the pedagogical aspects of fluid mechanics and includes case studies, lesson plans, articles on historical aspects of fluid mechanics, and novel and interesting experiments and theoretical calculations that convey complex ideas in creative ways. The current volume showcases the teaching practices of fluid dynamicists from different disciplines, ranging from mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, and environmental engineering to chemical engineering. The suitability of these articles ranges from early undergraduate to graduate level courses and can be read by faculty and students alike. We hope this collection will encourage cross-disciplinary pedagogical practices and give students a glimpse of the wide range of applications of fluid dynamics.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Higher Education Learning Methodologies and Technologies Online, HELMeTO 2020, held in Bari, Italy, in September 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held online. The 25 revised full papers and 3 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 59 submissions. The papers present recent research on challenges of implementing emerging technology solution for online, online learning pedagogical frameworks, facing COVID19 emergency in higher education teaching and learning, online learning technologies in practice, online learning strategies and resources, etc.
Dans la perspective d'une recherche pour la pratique, l'ouvrage aborde l'élaboration et l'évaluation d'interventions d'enseignement adaptées à des contextes institutionnels classiques. L'approche adoptée associe, dans une analyse à grain fin, les acquis de recherche disponibles et ceux issus d'expérimentations auprès d'élèves, d'étudiants et enseignants de terrain. L'analyse conduit à l'identification de "détails critiques" de pratique enseignante susceptible de contribuer fortement au degré de réussite d'un projet, et les organise en lignes sensibles afin de favoriser leur repérage. Cinq séquences illustrent cette approche sur différents thèmes de physique : interactions de contact et frottement solide, pression hydrostatique, superposition des champs électriques, superposition d'ondes cohérentes et imagerie optique, phénomènes de couleur. L'ouvrage s'adresse aux chercheurs en didactique des sciences, aux professeurs d'IUFM et d'écoles normales, aux formateurs d'enseignants ainsi qu'aux enseignants en physique.
Cet ouvrage met en vedette les idées de défenseurs de la valeur de l'éducation qui proposent des pistes d'action pour chercher à refaire des ponts entre la connaissance critique, pratique et réaliste des moyens de l'éducation.
The internationally focused Dictionary of Museology reflects the diversity of cultural and disciplinary approaches to theory and practice in the museum field today. The museum world is changing rapidly, and the characteristics and social roles of the world’s approximately 100,000 existing museums are constantly evolving. In addition to their traditional functions of preservation, research and communication, museums are increasingly addressing issues related to social inclusion, human rights, sustainable development and finances, all of which are explored in this dictionary. Drawing on the support of an international editorial committee, including influential figures from the US, Canada, Br...
