This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 7792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day millions upon millions of children and students attend schools and educational centres all over the world. They go to school with expectations to learn something new, to get a new experience and most of all to express and celebrate their uniqueness. Do their teachers think about their creativity? On the creativity continuum, there are two extremes "he or she is born creative, gifted and talented" on the one end, and on the other end is "he or she has been exposed and trained by very smart parents and teachers". Read about one of the theories - the "systems approach" - which originated from Positive Psychology and according to Csikszentmihalyi (1999a). The 'flow' state is an optimal state of intrinsic motivation. This essay considers and discusses the creativity debate. The author considers creativity (education) in a New Zealand context. He continues to consider his practice as a Design and Visual Communication teacher. APA referencing included (academic paper). An easy read!

This book was released on 2018-08-19 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE DESIGN BRIEF: SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE –TURTLE HOUSE DESIGN (WITHIN AN AZTEC CULTURAL CONTEXT) SITUATION You are a turtle living in Mexico (South America) during the age of the Aztec civilisation. You see the Aztecs travelling every day by boat (canoe) transporting vegetables, meat, etc. on their waterways. You and your turtle family live on the banks of the large lake and swim among the Aztecs daily. Remember the Aztecs build their city (Tenochtitlan) on stilts in the water. It is the year 1521... DESIGN BRIEF Design a sustainable turtle house for you and your family. The structure has to house 4 x turtles in total, including your mom and dad (or caregivers). Use bio-mimetic principles to guide you (ask nature how). You have to think like a turtle. Draw on your experiences as a turtle and your research. However, you must design and construct it like a human being. In other words, 'think like a turtle and construct (design) like a human'. FOR TEACHERS: What is behind the lesson/design brief that could benefit students? What are employers looking for in employees in the modern era, which we live in? To access information and knowledge are easy. Everyone can do it with the click of a button. However, the question is "what can you do with what you know"? The answer of the person being interviewed is a very important one. Think about your answer if you are in a typical interview situation. 'What can you do with what you know?' Wagner (2012) identifies seven important areas that could be developed for students, regarding this question. How can we as teachers develop these skills of students? Wagner lists the seven important areas - that could be considered - as follow: Critical thinking and problem-solving (ability to ask the right questions) Collaboration across networks and leading by influence Agility and adaptability. Initiative and entrepreneurship Effective oral and written communication Accessing and analysing information Curiosity and imagination KEYWORDS: AZTEC, turtle, sustainability, architecture, gifted and talented, integrated learning, creativity, innovation, originality, collaboration, critical thinking, problem-solving, agility, adaptability, initiative, entrepreneurship, verbal communication, written communication, analysing information, accessing information, curiosity and imagination, Design and Visual Communication, biomimetics, Tenochtitlan ESSAY RELATED TO THIS BOOK: *This is a follow up on an ESSAY by W van Zyl, which is about giftedness and talent (secondary school students). This resource includes a practical lesson (design brief) for gifted and talented students. Essay: The Creativity Debate: Talent or Practice – What Matters More? Are schools killing creativity, and what can I do as a high school teacher in New Zealand, to enhance creativity in my own practice as a Design and Visual Communication teacher?

This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: In this report, the author addresses the 'leaky homes' issue from an architectural and health perspective. As an experienced Design and Visual Communication (DVC) teacher, the author looks at the water tightness of monolithic cladded walls ('hollow' walls). He extends his report and research to earth building practices (cob, straw bale, mudbricks, adobe, earth rammed, and more). The report's focus and context are New Zealand (NZ) homes. He refers to British Columbia, who has experienced the same leaky homes problem, in brief. The report researches and investigates sustainable building materials/practice and the moisture content in dwellings. The aspects investigated will mainly be on the monolithic cladding of walls. The book addresses issues like how moisture influences physical health - particularly the mold and fungi in walls. He also looks in brief at the cladding of earth building walls and the waterproofing thereof. As for social action (education - secondary school/high school student's views) - an awareness campaign initiated by students targeting builders, council members, estate agents, architects, school students, parents, and the public is touched on. Perspectives and approaches used in this book are Education for Sustainability, Environmental Education, and Sustainable Architecture. In this book, the author also shares information and images of the sustainable classroom ('The Living Room') created by a Primary Enviro-School in New Zealand in 2009. Photos of the completed classroom, with captions, are included. The sustainable classroom was planned, designed, and constructed as a collaborative school project. The students of the school were consulted and included in the process (student agency). Excellent sustainable practice is displayed in the selection of sustainable materials and the inclusion of sustainable features, and function. Aesthetics were cleverly merged within the sustainability framework to produce a beautiful building. The building materials were carefully selected to maximise the sustainable outcome of the classroom. A beautiful, functional, and very practical classroom indeed! Teachers and students interested in Sustainable Architecture, Design and Visual Communication, Earth Buildings, and Sustainable Educational Spaces will find this book interesting and very useful.

Book excerpt: Synopsis: In this book, the author introduces handmade papermaking from recycled materials. From the equipment required for making a mould and deckle, to techniques for making artistic paper, are all included. The book progresses to pop-up greeting cards (paper mechanics/origami) and then develops ideas around electrical circuits and the programming of microprocessors (make LED lights blink, buzzer, etc.). The handmade paper could be used to create the greeting cards. A digital curriculum combined with organic papermaking - with the title ‘…from computer mouse clickers to computer programmers,’ - are touched on. The book includes STEM, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Maths) & ESSSTEAM (English-creative writing, Social Studies, Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Maths). The author coined the acronym ESSSTEAM in 2018 to include creative writing and Social Sciences (timelines and history/social issues). This book is a great resource for those teachers and educators who want to include an integrated and layered approach to their teaching. Additionally, the author has included important educational principles like global citizenship, sustainability, and taking action (social aspect). The book covers most of the trending aspects of integrated learning. It is surely a great resource for teachers, educators, and parents who want to combine an organic (natural) approach (papermaking) with technology (circuits and computer programming). Keywords: Papermaking, paper drying, paper pulp, couching, paper press, circuitry, copper adhesive tape, LED’s, batteries, mould and deckle, microprocessor, Arduino Uno, Micro:bit BBC, Picaxe, Raspberry Pi, computational books, pop-up card making, greeting card making, nets, sustainability, taking social action, global citizenship, fair trade, paint techniques, STEM Education, STEAM Education, ESSSTEAM Education, Blockly, Chibitronics. Brief outline with some details of this book This book will introduce and cover the basics of making handmade paper from recycled paper. The basic tools and equipment required for papermaking are covered. The steps of how to make a sheet of paper are included. Ideas like greeting cards pop-up cards, wrapping paper, and more, are explored and explained. Techniques like adding seeds, doing printing on the paper, colouring and scenting the paper – to name a few – will be discussed. From a teaching perspective, the underlying value of these activities will be investigated. For parents and educators, several layers of integrated learning are included in this resource. STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) is explored in the process of papermaking, and the integration of these subject areas are illustrated. The following areas will also be touched on, namely, global citizenship, sustainability, taking action for the environment, taking social action, entrepreneurship, business opportunities, accounting, and more. These areas are very relevant to teaching in a modern day context. It is practical and focuses on cutting-edge educational practice to date. These layered and integrated aspects will provide a rich educational approach to project-based learning. It includes creating and selling handmade greeting cards with and without circuitry. Additionally, some very creative techniques for adding value and fun to the papermaking process are introduced. For example, dyes for papermaking (colouring), different paper textures (choice of materials), scented paper and exploring different fibres. The last section of the book includes pop-up greeting card making. The goal is to plan the papermaking (colours and textures, etc.) for pop-up card making as a second activity. From a scientific and electronics perspective, electrical circuits to the pop-up card will be introduced. For example, led lights, microprocessors, buzzers, switches, and more. Finally, the basic programming of microprocessors will be discussed. The microprocessor will be programmed to light up led lights, make buzzers go, and more. User-friendly interfaces like Micro:bit, Arduino Uno, Picaxe, Arduino LilyPad, and Raspberry Pi are discussed towards the end of the book.

This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: In this position paper, I will look at some of the important issues regarding the theorising of knowledge, concepts of knowledge, knowledge differentiation and the New Zealand Technology Curriculum. I will explore some ideas related to situated cognition and the construction of knowledge. I will then move on and focus on some issues related to the generality of learning and the context -dependency of learning. In the fourth place, we will look at curriculum theory about developing Technology Curricula. Lastly, we will explore the implications for Technology education in New Zealand based on different global Technology Curricula perspectives. I will use my own experience as a Technology teacher (Design and Visual Communication-secondary school) to evaluate and critique curriculum matters as I interpret them. Also, after completing the paper, I ask a relevant practical question, and I endeavour to answer it by providing a typical Design and Visual Communication design brief for secondary school students (17-year-olds): "So, what could a typical design brief look like?" From a Design and Visual Communication (DVC – New Zealand Context). Background to the academic paper: APA Referencing Here follows a typical architectural design brief for 17-year old students. Situation 1: You are a famous architect and you are contracted by a specific country to design a unique sustainable Art Science Museum. The brief includes the incorporation of the country's culture, the symbolism, the technology, the art, the science, the engineering, the values and history of that particular country. Brief 1: Design a unique sustainable Art Science Museum for any country of your choice. Situation 2: You have completed your design and presentations (portfolio) of the solution of your sustainable Art Science Museum design and you are offered the opportunity to showcase your design work in one of the local museums. A room is given to you with the freedom to display your work as you wish (no limitations). The size of the room is 10 m x 10 m =100 square metre. With an entrance and exit -2 x arch openings. You have all the museum facilities and equipment at your disposal. For example, data projector, and state of the art computer with all the apps/software you want. Display frames/shelves/tables/pedestals/cabinets, etc. You also have the freedom to have your work printed, enlarged, and mounted at a local print/copy shop. It also includes the opportunity to create your own website. Search the internet for more ideas before you endeavour your planning/ design/layout of the exhibition/display. Obviously, you will start with research and then move on to freehand sketching (generate ideas, ideation, and concepts for the display). Use this opportunity to creatively link your display to the website, to showcase and market your design ideas. Brief 2: Plan and design a display of your completed design work (Art Science Museum) at a local museum. Create a simple website with menus that includes all the basic information and links to your design work. For example, your exhibition/display locally at the Waikato Museum—New Zealand. In other words, it is the overall plan which includes: Room layout, the position of detailed displays, media used, annotated freehand sketches, work drawings, 3-d model display, on-screen presentation (data projector), pamphlets, website details, and so on.

Download or read book Knowledge, Policy and Practice in Teacher Education written by Maria Teresa Tatto and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge, Policy and Practice in Teacher Education reviews the evolution of education policy on initial teacher education as an indicator of the knowledge that is considered important for nation building. It also looks at research on approaches and structures to initial teacher learning as an indication of the intellectual and moral direction to which schooling must aspire. Contributors look at these dynamics across a range of societies including Australia, the Czech Republic, England, Finland, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, and the USA. Using a review of the literature approach within a comparative framework, the book seeks to answer the following questions for each country: What has been the evolution of different approaches to learning to teach in each setting, and what factors have influenced change over the years? What are the underlying theories that characterize past and current thinking about the knowledge, skills and dispositions needed by teachers and what evidence is used to support these theories? What does a review on the state of the knowledge about teacher education over the past 30 years reveal about the evolution of the research and knowledge traditions that have supported current and past innovations in teacher education? Maria Teresa Tatto and Ian Menter explore international variability in different conceptions of knowledge in the context of learning to teach and explore the way in which national and international influences interact in the developing trajectories of teacher education policy and practice, considering what knowledge is considered important for teachers to have.
