As with previous UKSS conferences, the aim ofthis conference is to encourage debate and promote development of pertinent issues in systems theory and practice. In current times where the focus has moved from 'information' to 'knowledge' and where 'knowledge management', of everyday speak, it seemed fitting to 'knowledge assets' and so on, have become part offer a conference title of'Systems Theory and Practice in the Knowledge Age'. In keeping with another tradition of previous conferences, the UKSS Conference 2002 Committee decided to compile a collection ofdelegates' papers before the event as a platform from which to launch discussions in York. Ideas presented in the following papers will, undoubtedly, be developed during the dialogue generated at the conference and new papers will emerge.

Book Synopsis Education in a New Era. 2000 ASCD Yearbook by : Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, Alexandria, VA.
Download or read book Education in a New Era. 2000 ASCD Yearbook written by Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, Alexandria, VA. and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the writings of education experts who were asked to reflect on the 20th century, and then predict what educators could expect in the years ahead. For example, the 21st century will likely see new instructional models that attempt to integrate three areas of knowledge: experimental research on instruction, what is known from cognitive psychology about the nature of learning, and what can be gleaned from research on brain functioning. Greater depth and less superficial coverage will probably characterize the millennial curriculum, and society can expect to see network tools and digital devices that are designed specifically for education through alliances of researchers, practitioners, and commercial partners. It can be assumed that technological change will continue to accelerate and that such changes will produce social, political, and economic pressures that will demand responses from educational institutions. Some of the specific topics that are addressed here include governing the American dream of universal public education, the social construction of difference and the quest for educational equality, teaching and teacher development, 20th century advances in instruction, a curriculum for the new millennium, assessment in education, the evolving science of learning, technology in America's schools before and after Y2K, and progressive education in the 21st century.

It even offers ideas for virtual field trips on the Web.
