1) The document discusses the concept of "chunking" which involves breaking down reading material into more digestible sections to improve comprehension. It contrasts this with a "folk psychology" view of learning as simply acquiring knowledge.
2) Jigsaws are described as an instructional strategy that uses chunking and allows students to construct their own understanding through discussion and comparison of different ideas.
3) Using jigsaws supports higher-order thinking skills like analysis, synthesis and evaluation, which are necessary for high-level work, by having students make connections across different chunks of knowledge.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Â
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation âBlue Starâ 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.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
⢠The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
⢠The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate âany matterâ at âany timeâ under House Rule X.
⢠The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Chunking by teacherscpd.wordpress.com
Unfortunately most students, and many teachers, have a âfolk psychologyâ view of learning rather
than a constructivist view, and this is very hard to budge. Folk theory is considered a real obstacle to
effective teaching and learning by renowned theorists such as J. Bruner and Charles Desforges: Folk
psychology assumes:
⢠Knowledge is stuff
⢠The mind is a vessel
⢠Learning is storing stuff
⢠Acquisition only requires listening reasonably attentively, or even just being there.
⢠Assessment is stock taking
⢠Analogies for learning involve transfer rather than constructivism:
⢠The mug is filled by the jug
⢠Teacher as petrol pump attendant filling studentâs empty tanks.
The use of jigsaws runs counter to the above by using constructivist principles in the classroom. The
basic premise of the jigsaw idea is modelled on constructivism. Vygotsky developed the term
âconstructivismâ . In a nutshell constructivism comes from the standpoint that individuals create their
own meaning when they learn something new. This literally involves the construction of connections
between neurones. Using jigsaws help students construct their own meanings and make their own
connections so complex ideas can be remembered â learning is about making sense not just
remembering.
Reproductive tasks are those which require lower levels of cognition such as:
Copying a diagram
Recalling a definition grouping A
Repeating a process
In contrast reasoning requires high levels of cognition. These tasks are those needing:
Analysis
Synthesis grouping B
Evaluation
Grouping A is about remembering (lower order cognition)
while B is about reasoning. Grouping B is high order thinking
an absolute necessity for higher A level grades. These two
groupings can be seen in Blooms Taxonomy.
Reasoning develops relations between pieces of knowledge.
Reasoning is about constructing meaning between different
ideas and jigsaws help with this process in two ways.
2. Chunking by teacherscpd.wordpress.com
1. Meanings â when we understand something it means we can explain it in terms of
something else. For example there is no one explanation or interpretation of
something.
2. Application or function â is when students have a deeper understanding and can give
a relational response to something (rational response is where conflicts and
inconsistencies in different pieces of knowledge are identified by the student allowing
them to assess the strengths and weaknesses to form a balanced view).
In order to achieve point 2 above, students need to recognise patterns or relations between
different pockets of knowledge. Chunking has been identified as a mechanism which
helps teachers and students as itâs similar to remembering the journey to a destination
without necessarily remembering the names of the roads you journey on. Chunking is a
method of breaking up reading material into digestible sections. Chunking helps prevent
word-by-word reading, which can negatively affect comprehension since the reader may
have forgotten the beginning of the sentence by the time he makes it to the end of the
sentence. Studies demonstrate that chunked material, or materials that are separated into
meaningful related groups of words, improves the comprehension of some readers,
especially poor or low-ability readers.
Students now use the chunked knowledge and place them into each jigsaw. For example
you could have three key areas of knowledge on the three main political parties in the
UK. The students would display chunks of their knowledge into a single jigsaw piece.
The next task would be for the students to make a link to the next jigsaw piece by
summarising the strengths of each political position while using the jigsaw link to find the
weaknesses in the opposing argument.
The use of jigsaws helps students use Vygotsky constructivist principles to make their own
connections between different ideas; in this example comparing different political parties.
By allowing students to build their own constructs it is far easier for them to move their
cognition into grouping B. Moreover the skills of evaluation and synthesis become more
accessible.
