Teaching and Learning

Summary in English (text is in German):

The purpose of this contribution is firstly to say something about the relations between Gestalt theory and didactics and secondly to explain some assumptions and concepts of Gestalt theory which appear to be particularly important in the context of didactic considerations.

Zusammenfassung:

Das Anliegen dieses Beitrags ist es, erstens etwas zu den Beziehungen zwischen Gestalttheorie und Didaktik zu sagen und zweitens einige Annahmen und Begriffe der Gestalttheorie zu erliiutern, die im Rahmen didaktischer tlberlegungen besonders bedeutsam erscheinen.

Coventry University Institution Wide Language Programme (IWLP) offers beginners language learning modules to approximately 3,000 students. Each module is taught over 11 weeks for a total of one hour and 40 minutes and two of the weeks are used for in class tests, so tutors generally agree that students need to practise their skills outside the classroom in order to pass the module. One way of doing this was to use the language learning app, Duolingo, which helps students to gradually broaden their linguistic, professional competence, and digital fluency through increased learner autonomy. How effective this approach is, however, has never been measured. The project ran from January to April 2018 and explored whether a correlation exists between regular use of the app by IWLP learners at Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) level A1 of French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, and achieving a high formal coursework assessment mark. The views of both learners and tutors of their experiences of using the software, and the tutor tools provided by Duolingo Schools, will also be canvassed. A virtual classroom was set up within Duolingo Schools for each participating cohort of students and they were encouraged to use the app on a regular basis. The tutor tools allowed the monitoring of how many days learners were active, how many lessons they completed, how many courses they completed, and how many points they were awarded while using Duolingo. These statistics were compared with

"Since its very inception, social work has been considered an organizationally based profession, with the majority of its workforce employed within formal organizations. Whether in nonprofit, for-profit, or governmental agencies, the practical realities of human service organizations are a central element of professional social work. This book explores the climate and culture of these agencies and provides essential information for surviving and thriving in this setting. It prepares students for their future careers so that they will feel empowered in their work and be able to fulfill their responsibilities toward organizational, community, and social change. Using real-life examples, the authors examine the internal structures of management, financing, and supervision and discuss common conflicts between agencies and professionals. The book’s straightforward tone and practical advice make it an asset to anyone entering human service organizations.

This new edition contains updated examples, case studies, and references. It also contains valuable information on the effects of the recent financial crisis on human service organizations. Agencies now face increased caseloads and more complex social problems with fewer resources and less money. Understanding how these events have changed the nature of human service organizations will allow students to be better prepared for the work ahead of them.

Some argue that supporting minoritized students’ “academic language” (AL) development fosters equity in education. Others contend that AL is hegemonic, and that attempts to teach it perpetuate inequities across racial, ethnic, social class, immigrant, and related sociocultural and linguistic student differences. In this article, we frame the topic of this special issue—interdisciplinary approaches to equity in teaching AL—and show how authors across positions and analytic methods examine the goals of teaching AL and recommend ways for educators to foster meaningful language awareness for students. Although substantive, unresolved disagreements between positions remain; we identify points of agreement as well, which we present to educators as interdisciplinary principles of equity in teaching. Namely, educators should 1) understand how language is more than just vocabulary; 2) recognize academic features in students’ everyday talk; 3) develop awareness of language and its contexts of use with students, and 4) foster critical language awareness.

The purpose of this study was to investigate primary and secondary mathematics teachers' candidates' effect of the success in geometry education. The sample of the study consists of students first and last class preservice primary mathematics teachers which are enrolled program education at department of mathematics and students first and last class in preservice secondary mathematics teachers enrolled to Necmettin Erbakan University Ahmet Keleşoğlu Faculty of Education. As data collection tool, the 2016 Transition to Higher Education Examination questions asked in geometry was used. Data obtained were analyzed using Mann Whitney U test. Based on the findings, investigated that in first and last class of primary classroom teacher candidates and in first and last class of secondary mathematics teacher candidates were revealed in that whether there were statistically significant differences in terms of their success.

Over the last decade and a half, classrooms have become swamped with a range of electronic devices. Technology will continue to be more efficient, more versatile and indeed more abundant in schools and in classrooms. This study explores the views of students and teachers on the effectiveness of ICT in science teaching in terms of (i) levels of enjoyment derived by students, and (ii) usefulness of ICTs to teachers for their teaching. A questionnaire was used to elicit the views of students and teachers in respect of a range of ICT-based classroom activities. Qualitative and quantitative data collected through the questionnaires from 12 teachers and 100 students involved in science teaching and learning at a selected secondary school in Trinidad were analyzed. The results show that students enjoy ICT interventions in their lessons and teachers rank it high in many respects but, both students and teachers agree that ICT loses its appeal when its use is arbitrary and ill-planned.

This paper encourages the reader to think about the role history, or foundations, plays in educating graduate students in higher education programs.  In so doing it looks at the types of conversations scholars in other fields and disciplines have had concerning the value of teaching students to think historically in settings where history is not the primary mode of scholarship, before thinking critically about the conversation we have had as it concerns higher education graduate programs.

This chapter discusses both theoretical and practical dimensions of transdisciplinary education that fosters the stated aim of doctoral studies, namely the capacity to do original  research. Despite this definition, few if any doctoral programs explicitly address the creative dimension of scholarship. Here I outline the design of a transdisciplinary Ph.D. program (started in 2005) that places creativity at the heart of doctoral studies. The doctoral degree is also explicitly transdisciplinary, addressing issues from the perspective of pertinent knowledge rather than the framework provide by a single discipline.

This is a short poem by Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī al-Ṣabbān (d. 1206/1791) translated from the original Arabic into English verse. The poem is a concise, technical list of the ten essentials aspects of any science. It is intended to help students memorize the outline of the topic, while a teacher's additional commentary would be needed to really understand the content and meaning of the ten essentials.

This chapter reviews research and theory on self-understanding and self-regulation, focusing on the understanding of mind, self-concept, and self-regulation. It specifies the mental processes involved in each and outlines their development from childhood to early adulthood. Also, it places these processes in the broader context of cognition and personality.

"Re-imagining 21st century education is ambitious, an ambition born of a sadness as I reflect on a book written 30 years ago.  And I shall of course fall far short of the ambition.  Just to reiterate again the question raised in the invitation to this talk.

What sort of educational vision and practice may be fostered to underpin a new world where people matter?

This is an age-old question.  Its origins is in the idea of the good society that has long been the object of philosophical and political debate. So, specifically we can ask, what sort of education does a vision of the good society demand?  And how should schools be organised to lay a foundation for the realisation of this vision?

Nell’articolo, l’autore, alla sua prima esperienza di docente CLIL/DNL, descrive i caratteri, le fasi e lo svolgimento delle attività e fornisce esempi di lezioni in presenza e on line del modulo “Cybercrime and security measures” recentemente erogato agli alunni di una classe quinta di un Istituto Tecnico Economico ad articolazione SIA (Sistemi Informativi Aziendali). Durante un cospicuo periodo di assenza dal servizio, l’autore si è visto costretto a ripianificare e riprogettare una parte del percorso formativo, in corso d’opera  e, coinvolgendo gli altri colleghi del CLIL team, ha disegnato e allestito tre webinar sulla piattaforma wiziq.com per compensare alcune lezioni in presenza. Questa volta, il docente CLIL/DNL, nella veste di elearning researcher, investiga e si sofferma su alcuni rilevanti aspetti che emergono  nel corso delle tre lezioni on line perché nota che la quantità e qualità delle interazioni on line migliora quando il classroom discourse si basa sull’uso delle funzioni comunicative del linguaggio riuscendo a fondere teoria e pratica in modo naturale ed efficace. Questo contributo infine mostra come sia stata condotta e realizzata la Ricerca-Azione, nel rispetto dei canoni scientifici,  evidenziando quali sono stati i punti di debolezza e prospettando i possibili sviluppi .

Students with disabilities are frequently trapped in a vicious cycle of exclusion from education, society and mainstream development programmes, lacking the means for equal participation; the effective use of assistive technology can help assist them in addressing the ‘functional barriers’ and increase, maintain, or improve their learning outcomes. In the much needed endeavour of accepting, respecting and celebrating diversity; this paper attempts to discuss and highlight the need and scope for the use of assistive technology in inclusive education, to help include the excluded.

Lesson Plan: Meaning, Definition, Concept, Introduction, Components, Importance, Principles, Characteristics, Steps, Types, Format, Template, Examples
------
With special reference to Herbartian approach A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on a cold iron. Horace Mann Teaching is a complex activity. it needs proper preparation and planning. lesson plan is the blue print of those teaching activities that are to be done in the classroom. Every teacher tries to plan the content in his own style so that he can teach systematically and effectively at the right moment. MEANING AND IMPORTANCE OF LESSON PLANNING Teaching is a process which involves those teaching activities which a teacher performs in the classroom. It is based on planning and specifically lesson planning. Thus, a lesson plan is a detailed plan prepared by the teacher in advance for the daily teaching. It helps the teacher in systematic, and effective teaching. Lesson plan is a teaching outline of the important point of a lesson arranged in order in which they are to be presented; It may include objectives, points to be made, questions to be asked, reference to materials, assignments etc.. Lesson planning is a special skill that is learned in much the same way as other skills.. When the teacher is able to create his own lesson plans, it means he has taken a giant step toward "owning" the content the teach and the methods he use, and that is a good thing. Acquiring this skill is far more valuable than being able to use lesson plans developed by others. It takes thinking and practice to hone this skill, and it won't happen overnight, but it is a skill that will help to define one as a teacher. Knowing "how to" is far more important than knowing "about" when it comes to lesson plans, and is one of the important markers along the way to becoming a professional teacher. It is also in keeping with a central theme of this site that one should learn to plan lessons in more than one way. The corollary is, of course, that there is no one "best way" to plan lessons. Regardless of the form or template, there are fundamental components of all lesson plans that one should learn to write, revise, and improve. The old adage, "Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect" is at the core of learning this skill.. The teacher regularly achieves the teaching objectives and processes in the form of lesson planning.. It develops the possibilities of adjustment in the classroom situations which makes the teaching effective.It helps in recalling every step of curriculum unit

This 8-minute mini-lecture describes the basic elements of the Four-Blocks approach to teaching reading and writing.  This is one of the best approach for helping students of varying levels because it recognizes that one size does not fit all.

In deze handleiding wordt gespecificeerd hoe de aanpak van pesten en andere vormen van agressief gedrag in scholen kan worden gesteund via passende Informatie- en Communicatie Technologie. De inbreng en mede-verantwoordelijkheid van leerlingen speelt een zeer essentiele rol in de pedagogiek die hier wordt voorgestaan. De eigen meetbare, positieve resultaten kunnen door de leerlingen steeds worden verbeterd.

During the late 1960s and into the 1970s game-based approaches to sport teaching and coaching emerged in scholarly literature on sport and physical education teaching. Game based pedagogical approaches for games and sport teaching have been distinguished by some authors through the more prominent emphasis on guided discovery teaching and student/athlete reflective thinking than what occurs in the more historically common sport-as-sport techniques approach typified by a demonstration-replication, or 'transmission', method of instruction. However, guided discovery is also associated with another teaching approach that emerged in the 1960s, Style F of Mosston's Spectrum of Teaching Styles. In this paper we posit that rather than be seen as competing approaches, game-based approaches and The Spectrum of Teaching Styles should be seen as complementary as both are governed by a fundamental proposition – pedagogical decision making. In particular, due to the Spectrum of Teachin...
