This chapter discusses constructivism and active learning in the classroom. It emphasizes that students should construct their own knowledge through active involvement, problem-solving, and social interactions. The teacher's role is to create a student-centered environment that facilitates complex, challenging learning experiences and the development of higher-order thinking skills. Constructivism holds that students learn best when they play an active role in building understanding, and the classroom should support social negotiation, cooperation and meaningful connections between prior and new knowledge.
Many colleges aim to develop students into lifelong learners. This presentation focuses on techniques which foster learning independence. Objectives covered include: learning objectives conducive to independent learning, verbal and non-verbal strategies for building rapport (using rapport to raise student expectations), communication strategies for raising learning independence, building learning confidence, and tutoring strategies for developing learning independence.
This presentation also covers assessments for tracking progression towards learning independence. Rubrics provided include specific behaviors that correlate to varying levels of learning independence, including behaviors that indicate high levels of learning independence – signs a student is prepared to become a lifelong learner.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.

3. Discuss the Following
Question
• What components of students’
growth is most important for
schools – intellectual/academic or
emotional/social growth?
4. Constructivism
in the classroom
• The knowledge resides
within the learners and we
cannot teach precise
representations of the
“truth.”
• Students construct
learning.
5. Constructivism in the classroom
• Active Learners: students are given autonomy
of their learning. It includes problem
solving, small group work and collaborative
learning.
• Passive Learners: students are basically
receivers of information.
6. Constructivism in the classroom
• Complex and challenging environments.
• Social negotiations and shared
responsibilities.
• Multiple representations of content.
• Understanding that knowledge is constructed
7. Constructivism in the Classroom
• Active involvement
• Reflection
• Meaningful connections
• Respect for rules
• Sense of community
• Problems solving through negotiations
• Cooperation
• Higher-order thinking skills
• Ownership
8. Constructivism in the classroom
• Student-Centered approach: Students
construct their own understanding of
content, they develop a personal feeling that
the knowledge is their own.
• Constructivism is grounded on the theory
developed by John Dewey.
• Prior to him, the American education system
was concerned with the acquisition of
knowledge. According to Dewey’s theory
students should learn by doing.
9. Constructivism in the Classroom
• Vygotsky also played a significant role in the
development of constructivism. According to
his theory, students should participate in
social interaction as they work on meaningful
interaction tasks.
10. Resources for Cooperative Learning
• Individual Evaluation
• Possible Seating Arrangements
• Cooperative Project Evaluation
• Cooperative Learning Checklist
• Cooperative Learning Role Cards
11. Discussion

reduced before you
enter the room.
3. Assessing: The teacher attempts to
gather information to determine if and what
kind of learning has occurred. The teacher
asks: How will I determine the if the
students knew, understood and reached
their goal?
