Download or read book Trivium 21c written by Martin Robinson and published by Crown House Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Ancient Greece to the present day, Trivium 21c explores whether a contemporary trivium (Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric) can unite progressive and traditionalist institutions, teachers, politicians and parents in the common pursuit of providing a great education for our children in the 21st century. Education policy and practice is a battleground. Traditionalists argue for the teaching of a privileged type of hard knowledge and deride soft skills. Progressives deride learning about great works of the past preferring '21c skills' (21st century skills) such as creativity and critical thinking. Whilst looking for a school for his daughter, the author became frustrated by schools' inability to value knowledge, as well as creativity, foster discipline alongside free-thinking, and value citizenship alongside independent learning. Drawing from his work as a creative teacher, Robinson finds inspiration in the Arts and the need to nurture learners with the ability to deal with the uncertainties of our age. Named one of Book Authority's best education books of all time.

Book Synopsis Ambitious Science Teaching by : Mark Windschitl
Download or read book Ambitious Science Teaching written by Mark Windschitl and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2018 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Ambitious Science Teaching outlines a powerful framework for science teaching to ensure that instruction is rigorous and equitable for students from all backgrounds. The practices presented in the book are being used in schools and districts that seek to improve science teaching at scale, and a wide range of science subjects and grade levels are represented. The book is organized around four sets of core teaching practices: planning for engagement with big ideas; eliciting student thinking; supporting changes in students’ thinking; and drawing together evidence-based explanations. Discussion of each practice includes tools and routines that teachers can use to support students’ participation, transcripts of actual student-teacher dialogue and descriptions of teachers’ thinking as it unfolds, and examples of student work. The book also provides explicit guidance for “opportunity to learn” strategies that can help scaffold the participation of diverse students. Since the success of these practices depends so heavily on discourse among students, Ambitious Science Teaching includes chapters on productive classroom talk. Science-specific skills such as modeling and scientific argument are also covered. Drawing on the emerging research on core teaching practices and their extensive work with preservice and in-service teachers, Ambitious Science Teaching presents a coherent and aligned set of resources for educators striving to meet the considerable challenges that have been set for them.

Book Synopsis Understanding by Design by : Grant P. Wiggins
Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.

Book Synopsis OUTCOME-BASED CURRICULUM IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION by : EARNEST, JOSHUA
Download or read book OUTCOME-BASED CURRICULUM IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION written by EARNEST, JOSHUA and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering Education has emerged as a fast developing 'discipline' in itself with universities across the world opening up exclusive 'Departments of Engineering Education' which is also impacting the socio-economic system in India. Most of the engineering institutions in India are part of the 'hub-and-spoke' university education system unique to India. Scientifically developing the 'Outcome-based Curriculum' (OBC) uniformly across India has been a daunting task, due to the dearth of an authentic book on OBC addressing the need of the Indian Engineering Education System. This being the first book of its kind in India and with OBC serving as the 'Constitution' of 'Outcome-based Education' (OBE), it will go a long way to address this need. The unique feature of this book is that it is replete with examples to explain the various concepts of planning, designing and implementing the OBC in engineering institutions. Different aspects of Outcome-based Teaching Learning (OBTL) and Outcome-based Assessment (OBA) are also discussed vividly. Apart from the examples weaved into the lucidly written seven chapters, additional examples and important formats are provided in the 'Annexures'; another unique feature of this book. Every engineering UG, PG, or Diploma teacher would be happy to possess a personal copy of this book for 24x7 access which will help to clear their doubts as it arises then and there. TARGET AUDIENCE • Technical Instruction • Technical Teacher Trainers • Curriculum Specialists/Instructional Designers • Education Policy Makers What the reviewers' say "The technical education has to adopt Outcome-Based Curriculum and there was a dire need of authentic literature which would serve as a base document for scientifically developing OBC. The book reflects the expertise of both the authors who have more than 30 years of experience in industry and academics in designing and implementing different variants of OBC for various technical education programmes. Such a book will serve as a reference for future generations to avoid 're-inventing the wheel again and again." —Dr. M.P. Poonia, Vice-Chairman, AICTE "National Institute of Technical Teacher Training and Research (NITTTR) Bhopal has been spearheading different forms of OBC for the last five decades in which the authors have contributed substantially. Care has been taken such that this book will not only benefit the Indian engineering education system, but also the engineering teaching fraternity at the international context."—Dr. C. Thangaraj, Director, NITTTR Bhopal

Book Synopsis Creating Curricula: Aims, Knowledge and Control by : Dominic Wyse
Download or read book Creating Curricula: Aims, Knowledge and Control written by Dominic Wyse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge has been a defining focus for the curriculum studies field. In the early part of the 21st century convincing arguments were mounted that knowledge needed to be ‘brought back in’, both to the curriculum of schools and to the attention of curriculum researchers. This book is a result of these arguments, and what some regarded as a ‘crisis’ in curriculum study related to the growing emphasis on international comparisons between education systems. The book’s most important contribution is to build on seminal work in the sociology and philosophy of education in order to develop new foundations for curriculum study, using the importance of ‘transactions’ as the context for understanding knowledge in the curriculum. The contributors build on this importance to suggest a rapprochement in the field around the idea of curriculum knowledge as both constructed and real. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Curriculum Journal.
