Book Synopsis Learning Without Limits by : Hart, Susan
Download or read book Learning Without Limits written by Hart, Susan and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores ways of teaching that are free from determinist beliefs about ability. In a detailed critique of the practices of ability labelling and ability-focussed teaching, Learning without Limits examines the damage these practices can do to young people, teachers and the curriculum. Drawing on a research project at the University of Cambridge, the book features nine vivid case studies (from Year 1 to Year 11) that describe how teachers have developed alternative practices despite considerable pressure on them and on their schools and classrooms.

Book Synopsis Strategic Learning and its Limits by : H. Peyton Young
Download or read book Strategic Learning and its Limits written by H. Peyton Young and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-11-04 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this concise book based on his Arne Ryde Lectures in 2002, Young suggests a conceptual framework for studying strategic learning and highlights theoretical developments in the area. He discusses the interactive learning problem; reinforcement and regret; equilibrium; conditional no-regret learning; prediction, postdiction, and calibration; fictitious play and its variants; Bayesian learning; and hypothesis testing. Young's framework emphasizes the amount of information required to implement different types of learning rules, criteria for evaluating their performance, and alternative notions of equilibrium to which they converge. He also stresses the limits of what can be achieved: for a given type of game and a given amount of information, there may exist no learning procedure that satisfies certain reasonable criteria of performance and convergence. In short, Young has provided a valuable primer that delineates what we know, what we would like to know, and the limits of what we can know, when we try to learn about a system that is composed of other learners.

Book Synopsis You're Only Human by : Kelly M. Kapic
Download or read book You're Only Human written by Kelly M. Kapic and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work. Family. Church. Exercise. Sleep. The list of demands on our time seems to be never ending. It can leave you feeling a little guilty--like you should always be doing one more thing. Rather than sharing better time-management tips to squeeze more hours out of the day, Kelly Kapic takes a different approach in You're Only Human. He offers a better way to make peace with the fact that God didn't create us to do it all. Kapic explores the theology behind seeing our human limitations as a gift rather than a deficiency. He lays out a path to holistic living with healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world. He frees us from confusing our limitations with sin and instead invites us to rest in the joy and relief of knowing that God can use our limitations to foster freedom, joy, growth, and community. Readers will emerge better equipped to cultivate a life that fosters gratitude, rest, and faithful service to God.

Book Synopsis Creating Learning without Limits by : Mandy Swann
Download or read book Creating Learning without Limits written by Mandy Swann and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of how one primary school community worked to build a learning environment that is inclusive, humane and enabling for everybody, a place free from the damaging effects of fixed ability thinking and practices. Drawing on compelling accounts of everyday life in the school, it describes how, in just a few years, the school (once in special measures) grew into a thriving community, with distinctive views of learning, curriculum and pedagogy, monitoring and accountability that found expression in every aspect of school life. The work of the school community was guided by the findings of a previous project, 'Learning without Limits' (Hart, Dixon, Drummond and McIntyre 2004), an empirical study of the classroom practice of individual teachers who had rejected the concept of fixed ability. 'Creating Learning without Limits' explores what becomes possible when the same ideas and principles are used creatively to guide and inspire whole school improvement. This book is not simply a celebration of the success of the school; it engages with the struggles and difficulties encountered by the staff as they set about learning to reshape pedagogy and curriculum by reference to their shared values of inclusion, social justice and human educability. It gives a detailed analysis of how the headteacher harnessed the power of collective action. The insights generated by this study have enduring relevance and applicability to people in other contexts - for staff groups craving for more equitable school improvement; for individual teachers wondering how best to foster children's learning capacity; for school leaders and teacher educators who find their values increasingly compromised. "'Creating Learning without Limits' takes on one of the most important issues in education today... This is a must-read for educators, policy makers and parents alike." Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics Education, Stanford University, California. Formerly a teacher and researcher at the Universities of London and Sussex. "This will undoubtedly turn out to be amongst the most important educational books of the decade...If you want to know why 'the standards agenda' must inevitably fail and what we might do instead, read this book." Professor Michael Fielding, Institute of Education, University of London, UK "This is an inspiring and reviving book." Anne Watson, Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Oxford, UK "This book provides a grounded demonstration of the importance of educational principles, the most important of which is the understanding that each child's potential for learning is limitless... I urge you to let it influence your thinking too!" Professor Andrew Pollard, Institute of Education, University of London, UK "The book deserves a really wide readership." Professor Clyde Chitty, Institute of Education, University of London, UK "This book is slim in size but hefty in significance." Barry Hymer, Professor of Psychology in Education, Education Faculty, University of Cumbria, UK "A classic for our time, it should be read by all who seek approaches to teaching and learning that are free from externally imposed views of ability and potential.” Professor Lani Florian, School of Education, University of Aberdeen, UK "This book could be the catalyst for the educational change that we are all praying for." Julie Lilly, Head Teacher, UK
Book Synopsis No Limits to Learning by : J. W. Botkin
Download or read book No Limits to Learning written by J. W. Botkin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reconsiders global problems such as energy and the arms race, as well as more recent issues like cultural identity, communications and information. Attention is primarily focused on human problems and potential, rather than on material constraints to growth. The analysis places particular importance on new forms of learning and education, for individuals and especially for society, as indispensable for laying the groundwork to deal with global issues, and for bridging the gap between the complexity and risks of current global issues and our presently inadequately developed capacity to face up to them. This is the first Club of Rome report to authors from socialist and Third World countries as well as from the West
Book Synopsis Machine Learning for Dynamic Software Analysis: Potentials and Limits by : Amel Bennaceur
Download or read book Machine Learning for Dynamic Software Analysis: Potentials and Limits written by Amel Bennaceur and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine learning of software artefacts is an emerging area of interaction between the machine learning and software analysis communities. Increased productivity in software engineering relies on the creation of new adaptive, scalable tools that can analyse large and continuously changing software systems. These require new software analysis techniques based on machine learning, such as learning-based software testing, invariant generation or code synthesis. Machine learning is a powerful paradigm that provides novel approaches to automating the generation of models and other essential software artifacts. This volume originates from a Dagstuhl Seminar entitled "Machine Learning for Dynamic Software Analysis: Potentials and Limits” held in April 2016. The seminar focused on fostering a spirit of collaboration in order to share insights and to expand and strengthen the cross-fertilisation between the machine learning and software analysis communities. The book provides an overview of the machine learning techniques that can be used for software analysis and presents example applications of their use. Besides an introductory chapter, the book is structured into three parts: testing and learning, extension of automata learning, and integrative approaches.
Book Synopsis The New Limits of Education Policy by : Roger Benjamin
Download or read book The New Limits of Education Policy written by Roger Benjamin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a political economy framework to analyze the current problems facing US post-secondary education, The New Limits of Education Policy tackles the questions surrounding the future of higher education. This study provides an explanation as to why improvement of teaching and learning is not a high priority for the stakeholders involved. Roger Benjamin explains why heightened recognition by the State of the importance of human capital in the knowledge economy will create the external conditions that will, in turn, create the need for an altered incentive system for these stakeholders. He goes on to make a case for additional positive incentives that would reward behavior that improves teaching and learning. The political economy framework used here suggests that post-secondary education is a common pool problem (CPP) that may soon become a permanent crisis a tragedy of the commons. The popular consensus that the post-secondary education sector, the venue for enhancing human capital, is not doing a good enough job is now combined with the prospect of continued rising costs and declining resources for colleges and universities. Anticipating a national debate about the CPP, Roger Benjamin emphasizes the need for evidence-based decision making to assist leaders in improving quality and reducing costs. The New Limits of Education Policy is an eye-opening, critical read for anyone with a vested interest in the future of higher education, including policymakers, administrators, and students and scholars of economics and public policy.

Book Synopsis The Longings and Limits of Global Citizenship Education by : Jeffrey S. Dill
Download or read book The Longings and Limits of Global Citizenship Education written by Jeffrey S. Dill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world seemingly gets smaller and smaller, schools around the globe are focusing their attention on expanding the consciousness and competencies of their students to prepare them for the conditions of globalization. Global citizenship education is rapidly growing in popularity because it captures the longings of so many—to help make a world of prosperity, universal benevolence, and human rights in the midst of globalization’s varied processes of change. This book offers an empirical account from the perspective of teachers and classrooms, based on a qualitative study of ten secondary schools in the United States and Asia that explicitly focus on making global citizens. Global citizenship in these schools has two main elements, both global competencies (economic skills) and global consciousness (ethical orientations) that proponents hope will bring global prosperity and peace. However, many of the moral assumptions of global citizenship education are more complex and contradict these goals, and are just as likely to have the unintended consequence of reinforcing a more particular Western individualism. While not arguing against global citizenship education per se, the book argues that in its current forms it has significant limits that proponents have not yet acknowledged, which may very well undermine it in the long run.

Book Synopsis Advanced Calculus by : Patrick Fitzpatrick
Download or read book Advanced Calculus written by Patrick Fitzpatrick and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Advanced Calculus is intended as a text for courses that furnish the backbone of the student's undergraduate education in mathematical analysis. The goal is to rigorously present the fundamental concepts within the context of illuminating examples and stimulating exercises. This book is self-contained and starts with the creation of basic tools using the completeness axiom. The continuity, differentiability, integrability, and power series representation properties of functions of a single variable are established. The next few chapters describe the topological and metric properties of Euclidean space. These are the basis of a rigorous treatment of differential calculus (including the Implicit Function Theorem and Lagrange Multipliers) for mappings between Euclidean spaces and integration for functions of several real variables."--pub. desc.
Book Synopsis Computational Thinking: How computers think, decide and learn, when human limits start and computers champ. Vol.1 by : Jorge Guerra Pires
Download or read book Computational Thinking: How computers think, decide and learn, when human limits start and computers champ. Vol.1 written by Jorge Guerra Pires and published by Jorge Guerra Pires. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2013, I wrote a book[1]. At the time, I wanted to explain neural networks in simple terms, I had high school students at my mind. I have expressed my concerns that machine learning was dominating the world, and people had no idea about it, smartphones were not popular in Brazil, and started go gain attention as personal computers. Deep learning started to gain momentum on 2012, and nowadays is kind of the rule. At the time, YouTube was bad, pretty bad a must say: I used to save the links to my videos, as so I could avoid passing through the main page. . Computational thinking is synonymous of algorithms. I cannot think a single computational routine which is not an algorithm; after all, “computers are stupid”, they need to be told what to do even when it is abstract (e.g., machine learning). What is computational think, though? Think like this, a thought experiment: Suppose you give your result, from your model, to someone. Do you believe the person would be able to tell the difference between your solution, from your algorithm, and a human? If not, this is computational thinking. It is a machine (i.e., an algorithm, a routine), doing human-thinking work. As we are going to see based on Kasabov’s work, we may actually be able to send ‘thinking loads’ to computers in the future. Initially, this book supposes to be called computational intelligence. Nonetheless, I thought, we do not necessarily need ‘intelligence’ to build models, not in the sense to artificial intelligence or even human intelligence. Furthermore, as we shall learn from Daniel Kahneman and colleagues, we can achieve nice models for decision making even with simple models, when compared to humans; imagine what we can do with machine learning + cloud computing + databases (such as MongoDB and Firebase)! Possible public Web developers wanting to expand their horizon; here I am being modest, I feel any web coder should learn computational thinking, as so they can add intelligence to their “dummy” apps; People from computational intelligence, waiting to learn new tricks; Computer scientists for sure! I would recommend to computational biologists, and anyone interested in bioinformatics; Applied mathematics, and computational mathematician for sure; Anyone that is opened to new ideas, but has a minimum computer programming background; Maybe, medical doctors and biologists; one of my PhD advisors was a surgeon, with a PhD in mathematics; thus, we may have this profile in medicine and, especially, in biology; External resources and tricks My GitHub profile; Our sandbox; I have used links to my LinkedIn profile, to posts related to the discussions.

Book Synopsis The Limits of Illusion: A Critical Study of Calderón by : Anthony J. Cascardi
Download or read book The Limits of Illusion: A Critical Study of Calderón written by Anthony J. Cascardi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1984-09-13 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first thorough study of Calderón in comparison with other important dramatists of the period: Lope de Vega and Tirso de Molina in Spain, Racine and Corneille in France, and Shakespeare and Marlowe in England. Cascardi studies Calderón's paradoxical engagement with illusion in its philosophical guise as scepticism. He shows on the one hand Calderón's moral will to reject illusion and on the other his theatrical need to embrace it. Cascardi discusses plays from every period to show how in Calderón's best work illusion is not rejected; instead, scepticism is absorbed. Calderón is placed in and defined against the philosophical line of Vives, Descartes, and Spinoza. Of central importance to this argument is Calderón's idea of theatre and the various transformations of that idea. This emphasis will give the book an additional interest to students, readers in philosophy and comparative literature.
