El texto expone marcos epistemológicos, pedagógicos y didácticos con relación a la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las ciencias naturales, con el propósito de considerar nuevas posibilidades de campos teóricos y prácticos en las disciplinas que la conforman, que se orienten a aportar, nutrir y analizar su pertinencia en el desarrollo de nuevas miradas para pensar la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las ciencias naturales y sus factores asociados en diferentes niveles educativos. Las experiencias investigativas descritas en cada uno de los capítulos invitan a reflexionar, caracterizar y explorar iniciativas de enseñanza y aprendizaje de las ciencias naturales que pueden ser innovadoras y pensadas desde prácticas y escenarios culturalmente diversos. Estamos seguros de que su lectura analítica es una oportunidad y un espacio para seguir analizando y debatiendo sobre el papel de la educación en ciencias, la escuela y su incidencia para formar ciudadanos que puedan tomar decisiones pertinentes frente a la solución de problemas relacionados con la vida cotidiana, entre otros aspectos.
La importancia de la Historia de las Ciencias en la formación de profesores permite superar la visión lineal y acumulativa que se tiene del conocimiento y considerar los procesos y las dinámicas sociales inherentes a la producción del conocimiento científico teniendo en cuenta las problemáticas y contextos que lo involucran. En este sentido, la historia contextualizada de las prácticas experimentales se convierte en una herramienta importante para la enseñanza de las ciencias. Las prácticas experimentales son cada vez más visibles en los estudios sobre la Didáctica de las Ciencias, de una enseñanza de las ciencias basadas únicamente en el papel demostrativo del experimento para ...
A Educação Matemática consolidou-se como uma perspectiva de desenvolvimento de pesquisas no âmbito acadêmico-científico, abarcando consigo múltiplos enfoques teóricos e, consequentemente, diversificadas possibilidades metodológicas (tanto no âmbito da pesquisa quanto na prática pedagógica). Tendo em vista essa multiplicidade de abordagens, nosso intuito com esta obra, intitulada Educação Matemática e Práticas Pedagógicas: diálogos entre teoria e sala de aula, é evidenciá-las de modo a tecer dialéticas entre as dimensões teóricas e práticas acerca dessas perspectivas e suas interfaces com a prática docente.
"Since the Mexican government escalated its war on organized crime at the end of 2006, over 150,000 Mexicans have been intentionally murdered. Countless thousands of others have been tortured; no one knows how many have disappeared. Caught between government forces and organized crime cartels, the Mexican people have suffered as atrocities and impunity reign. Based on three years of research, over 100 interviews, and previously unreleased government documents, this report finds a reasonable basis to believe that government forces and members of criminal cartels have perpetrated crimes against humanity in Mexico. The report comprehensively examines why there has been so little justice for atrocity crimes, and finds the main answers in political obstruction. Given the lack of political will to end impunity, new approaches must be taken. The report argues for a series of institutional changes, most importantly the creation of an internationalized investigative body, based inside Mexico, with powers to independently investigate and prosecute atrocity crimes."--Page 4 of cover.
Food safety awareness is at an all time high, new and emerging threats to the food supply are being recognized, and consumers are eating more and more meals prepared outside of the home. Accordingly, retail and foodservice establishments, as well as food producers at all levels of the food production chain, have a growing responsibility to ensure that proper food safety and sanitation practices are followed, thereby, safeguarding the health of their guests and customers. Achieving food safety success in this changing environment requires going beyond traditional training, testing, and inspectional approaches to managing risks. It requires a better understanding of organizational culture and ...
This book examines a generation of leftist militants who in the 1960s advocated revolutionary violence for social change in South America.
Action Research Communities presents a new perspective on two current and proven educational practices: classroom-/school-based action research and professional learning communities. Implementation of one or the other of these practices often results in a variety of possible benefits for the teaching–learning process, for student achievement, and for overall school improvement. While these might seem to be separate, isolated practices, the author has taken the beneficial aspects of each practice and merged them into a cohesive and potentially powerful concept, coined "action research communities." Each of the two concepts or approaches (action research and professional learning communities...
This edited book provides a global view on evolution education. It describes the state of evolution education in different countries that are representative of geographical regions around the globe such as Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North Africa, South Africa, North America, South America,Middle East, Far East, South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.Studies in evolution education literature can be divided into three main categories: (a) understanding the interrelationships among cognitive, affective, epistemological, and religious factors that are related to peoples’ views about evolution, (b) designing, implementing, evaluating evolution education curriculum that reflects contemporary evolution understanding, and (c) reducing antievolutionary attitudes. This volume systematically summarizes the evolution education literature across these three categories for each country or geographical region. The individual chapters thus include common elements that facilitate a cross-cultural meta-analysis. Written for a primarily academic audience, this book provides a much-needed common background for future evolution education research across the globe.
