Download or read book Teacher Proof written by Tom Bennett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Tom Bennett is the voice of the modern teacher.’ - Stephen Drew, Senior Vice-Principal, Passmores Academy, UK, featured on Channel 4’s Educating Essex Do the findings from educational science ever really improve the day-to-day practice of classroom teachers? Education is awash with theories about how pupils best learn and teachers best teach, most often propped up with the inevitable research that ‘proves’ the case in point. But what can teachers do to find the proof within the pudding, and how can this actually help them on wet Wednesday afternoon?. Drawing from a wide range of recent and popular education theories and strategies, Tom Bennett highlights how much of what we think we know in schools hasn’t been ‘proven’ in any meaningful sense at all. He inspires teachers to decide for themselves what good and bad education really is, empowering them as professionals and raising their confidence in the classroom and the staffroom alike. Readers are encouraged to question and reflect on issues such as: the most common ideas in modern education and where these ideas were born the crisis in research right now how research is commissioned and used by the people who make policy in the UK and beyond the provenance of education research: who instigates it, who writes it, and how to spot when a claim is based on evidence and when it isn’t the different way that data can be analysed what happens to the research conclusions once they escape the laboratory. Controversial, erudite and yet unremittingly entertaining, Tom includes practical suggestions for the classroom throughout. This book will be an ally to every teacher who’s been handed an instruction on a platter and been told, ‘the research proves it.’

She needs a gardener for her school in the great city of Kelior, where every potential wizard must be trained to serve the Kingdom of Numis.

Book Synopsis Student Attitudes, Student Anxieties, and How to Address Them by : Helge Kastrup
Download or read book Student Attitudes, Student Anxieties, and How to Address Them written by Helge Kastrup and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on a commitment to teaching science to everybody. What may work for training professional scientists does not work for general science education. Students bring to the classrooms preconceived attitudes, as well as the emotional baggage called ""science anxiety."" Students may regard science as cold, unfriendly, and even inherently hostile and biased against women. This book has been designed to deal with each of these issues and results from research in both Denmark and the United States. The first chapter discusses student attitudes towards science and the second discusses science anxiety. The connection between the two is discussed before the introduction of constructivism as a pedagogy that can aid science learning if it also addresses attitudes and anxieties. Much of the book elucidates what the authors have learned as science teachers and science education researchers. They studied various groups including university students majoring in the sciences, mathematics, humanities, social sciences, business, nursing, and eduction; high school students; teachers' seminary students; science teachers at all levels from middle school through college; and science administrators. The insights of these groups constitute the most important feature of the book, and by sharing them, the authors hope to help their fellow science teachers to understand student attitudes about science, to recognize the connections between these and science anxiety, and to see how a pedagogy that takes these into account can improve science learning.

Book Synopsis Computer Literacy for Teachers by : Frank P. Besag
Download or read book Computer Literacy for Teachers written by Frank P. Besag and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1984-09 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book -- together with BASIC for Teachers -- is designed to promote computer literacy within the teaching profession. Besag and Levine believe that computer education should be taken out of the home (where only a privileged few have access to a computer) and put into schools so that each child has the opportunity to work with computers. To make this possible, teachers themselves must become computer literate. In addition to learning a computer language, teachers should become computer literate in terms of a wider perspective that includes the history and values of the computer, and information as a source of power. This book provides a concise and readable account of these issues and the possible roles of teachers and education in the new information explosion.

Book Synopsis The Teaching Delusion: Why teaching in our classrooms and schools isn't good enough (and how we can make it better) by : Bruce Robertson
Download or read book The Teaching Delusion: Why teaching in our classrooms and schools isn't good enough (and how we can make it better) written by Bruce Robertson and published by John Catt. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools are filled with great teachers, but is great teaching taking place in every classroom, in every school? Bruce Robertson doesn't believe it is. Why not? This book argues that there are two reasons. Firstly, because there isn't a shared understanding of what makes great teaching. Secondly, because schools haven't developed the strong professional learning culture necessary to drive the development of great teaching in every classroom. Through discussion of key messages from educational research, and drawing on a track record of success, this book explores how these barriers can be addressed, leading to transformations in teaching practice across classrooms and schools.
