Confidence frustration, and worry: the role of emotions in student learning &...IL Group (CILIP Information Literacy Group)
The document discusses a study on the role of emotions in student learning and research. The study found that the most influential emotions students experience during research are confidence, worry, and frustration. It contends that confidence comes from familiarity with sources and easy access, not just improved library resources. Students must be able to manage their emotions for information literacy skills to succeed. The study recommends a holistic approach to information literacy instruction that acknowledges both the affective and cognitive domains to reduce emotional bottlenecks to learning.Growing my friends-list - Final

Module 3 reflections - literacies
The document discusses a teacher's reflections on improving her students' information, media, and internet literacy. Prior to her lesson, she thought her students were fairly literate but now realizes they are more literate with technology than she is. She wants to learn more about new media formats and incorporate teaching effective internet searching and media literacy into her Big6 approach for student projects. She provides examples of three lesson plans where students would research different topics and present their findings online using formats like blogs, videos and slideshows.
Essential questioning
This document summarizes and reviews several websites about developing essential questions. The first site discusses the components of effective essential questions, such as connecting to multiple disciplines and exploring topics together. The second site criticizes trivial questions and promotes questions that require critical thinking without prior knowledge. The third site highlights strategies from its toolbox, such as assigning daily questions and developing unanswerable questions. In the end, the document emphasizes the importance of asking good questions rather than excessive information.

This document summarizes a presentation on observations of teaching and learning. It discusses two studies on the topic.
Study 1 examined perceptions of observations conducted on a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) program. Interviews found stakeholders wanted quality control but were unsure what specifically was being observed. Assessments relied on individual judgments without clear guidance. Observations could improve teaching but also caused anxiety.
Study 2 presented alternative "deviant" observation approaches that varied the setting, observer, purpose, and process. These may complement traditional methods or provide a template for wider use. Overall, observations of teaching could be part of evaluating effectiveness if qualitative evidence is used, but the approach requires further discussion.

Questionnaires1
This document discusses self-report methods used by psychologists to collect data, specifically questionnaires. It notes that questionnaires use closed and open questions to gather information on behaviors, attitudes, beliefs and feelings. Closed questions offer limited answers like yes/no or scales, and convert responses into quantitative data. Open questions allow respondents to write freely and provide qualitative data. The document outlines strengths like large samples, but also limitations like potential bias if respondents are untruthful or don't complete the questionnaire.
Twitter review
The document summarizes the Twitter accounts of 5 educators that the author has followed:
1. Alec Couros posts about using technology in education, including using memes to connect with students. He also questioned if students today feel the need to post everything online.
2. Eric Sheninger, a school principal, posts in favor of using social media in education to harness students' interests. He believes creative projects are more effective than tests.
3. Steven Anderson posted about flipping faculty meetings and using online portfolios for student work.
4. Chris Wejr's posts were often directed at K-5, but he shared ideas on feedback and student motivation.
5. The author's teacher

The document discusses various challenges faced by the student-run newspaper Echo at St. Louis Park High School. It describes issues they have encountered with fact-checking stories, dealing with errors or complaints, and ensuring diverse perspectives are represented. The newspaper staff works to establish policies for sensitive topics like student deaths and addresses criticisms of controversial articles. The document also examines struggles with organization, meeting deadlines, and effective collaboration among the large staff. The goal is for the students to learn from failures and improve their work on the newspaper.
Class #05
The document discusses several topics related to the Catholic Church's teachings on birth control and individual conscience:
1. It references Humanae Vitae's conclusion about "openness to procreation" and the use of natural law to address whether artificial birth control can ever be used.
2. It contrasts natural family planning (NFP) with artificial contraception.
3. It raises questions about whether dissent from Church teachings can ever be beneficial and discusses the relationship between authority, truth, and an individual's informed conscience.
Class #21
This document discusses the moral considerations of a free market economy from the perspective of Catholic Social Thought. It examines how Archbishop Romero challenged the notion that the Church should remain neutral on economic issues. It also analyzes the tensions between free market values like material happiness and self-interest, and Catholic Social Thought values such as serving the common good. Finally, it questions whether capitalism can truly be morally neutral given these tensions.
Class #03
Dwyer argues that there are only two ways to resolve the ambiguities of determining right and wrong based on feelings: 1) we must agree that some actions are inherently worthy or unworthy, whether we admit it or not, or 2) we have no coherent arguments to claim that atrocities like Auschwitz were wrong. If morality is truly relative, we could not consistently call any actions wrong or make ethical judgments as a group. Theology and ethics are connected, with theology describing life's purpose and ethics prescribing how to live to attain that purpose, as defined by God and exemplified by Jesus Christ. Catholic Christian ethics is informed by Scripture, natural law, tradition, and experience, with the Church hierarchy serving as
Class #13
This document discusses physician-assisted suicide and end-of-life issues from a Catholic perspective. It introduces the topic and some relevant legal developments, including Oregon's Death with Dignity Act and a Supreme Court case. It then outlines Daniel Callahan's view that physician-assisted suicide has important social dimensions and shouldn't be seen as merely a private choice. The document will examine physician-assisted suicide through the lens of Catholic teaching, assess its morality, and discuss implications for medicine and patient rights.
Class #03
Dwyer argues that there are only two ways to resolve the ambiguities of determining right and wrong based on feelings: 1) we must agree that some actions are inherently worthy or unworthy regardless of our opinions, or 2) we have no coherent arguments against atrocities like the Holocaust. The document also discusses how morality cannot be relative, as that would mean we could not consistently call any actions wrong or make ethical judgments as a group.
Class #02
This document discusses several topics related to ethics and morality, including objectivism vs relativism, tolerance of believers vs sceptics, and the relationship between God and morality. It notes debates around the existence of moral absolutes and reviews arguments that moral relativism makes ethics incoherent and contradictory. It also outlines three components of ethical analysis: the action, intention, and consequences, and discusses how theology and ethics are connected through their common focus on the purpose of life.
Class #08
The document discusses different perspectives on personhood and abortion. It outlines common pro-life and pro-choice slogans, and explores assumptions behind these slogans. It also examines points in development that personhood may be attained, such as conception, birth, or after birth. The document references arguments that killing disabled infants or fetuses with disabilities is not wrong and can increase total happiness. It questions at what point a fetus or newborn becomes an individual capable of having a life of its own.
Class #15
Doctors must carefully consider withdrawing life support to avoid directly killing or prolonging life unnecessarily. Treatment should only continue if it provides proportionate benefits compared to the burdens, and is beneficial, useful, and required rather than disproportionate, burdensome, useless, or optional. Questions remain on whether removing feeding tubes constitutes directly killing or allowing to die that could impact views on cases like Nancy Cruzan's removal of her feeding tube in light of Catholic teachings.
Class #27
This document discusses Christian pacifism and nonviolence. It summarizes the views of Fr. John Dear, who argues that true Christians must follow Jesus' teachings of nonviolence and loving one's enemies. Dear believes any Christian who thinks violence can be justified has ceased to follow the Gospels. The document explores the origins and challenges of Christian pacifism, and addresses how pacifism relates to wider culture and objections to its practicality.
Cst presentation
This document outlines three foundational pillars of Catholic social teaching: dignity, community, and preferential option for the poor. It provides quotes and explanations for each pillar. Dignity refers to the inherent worth of every human being as created in God's image. Community emphasizes that human dignity can only be realized in relationship with others. Preferential option for the poor means assessing policies based on their impact on vulnerable populations and strengthening the whole community by assisting those most in need. The document stresses that these pillars should guide economic and political decisions.
Class #05
I. The document discusses Humanae Vitae, which addressed artificial birth control and concluded that it should not be used based on natural law. It also asks if artificial birth control can ever be used and compares natural family planning (NFP) to artificial contraception.
II. It explores different perspectives on birth control between Ruether & Heaney and the Pope. It discusses what is considered natural and different understandings of sex in marriage.
III. It questions whether Ann LeBlanc is a "bad Catholic" for potentially disagreeing with Church teaching on birth control and explores the relationship between authority, truth, and an informed conscience in regards to dissenting from Church doctrine.
Class #12
The document discusses various procedures involving stem cells and cloning including cloning for reproduction, cloning for medical treatments, embryonic stem cell research using IVF leftovers or specifically created embryos, and research using stem cells from miscarried fetuses. It asks which procedure is most morally problematic and how the Church would view it, and to consider the Church's objections to embryonic stem cell research and cloning and whether scientific advances could address these objections which involve complicity with evil.
Class #03
John Dwyer argues that there are only two ways to resolve the ambiguities of claiming to do what feels right: either we agree that some actions are inherently worthy or unworthy regardless of our opinions, or we have no coherent arguments against atrocities like Auschwitz. The document also argues that moral relativism would mean we cannot consistently call any actions wrong, could not discuss ethics publicly, and would contradict tolerance by criticizing others' morality. It connects theology and ethics by saying theology reveals life's purpose and ethics guides how to attain it.
Class #02
The document discusses various topics related to ethics, morality, and religion. It addresses questions about objectivism versus relativism, tolerance of believers versus sceptics, and whether there are absolute moral truths. It also examines the relationship between theology and ethics, and how ethics guides us to fulfill the purpose of life as defined by religion. Key components of ethical analysis are discussed such as actions, intentions, and consequences. Different views on the nature of good and morality are presented.
Class #18
The document discusses three key concepts in Catholic social teaching: dignity, community, and preferential option for the poor. It analyzes the relationship between charity and justice, and how readings like "Being Poor" and "Invisible Knapsacks" respond to this relationship. It also explores how dignity, community, and preferential option form the foundations of Catholic social teaching and will be revisited in future classes.

The document discusses various topics related to immigration and human rights from a Catholic perspective, including the relationship between rights and duties, different types of rights, and tensions between Catholic teachings on rights and current U.S. immigration policies. It explores how emphasizing individual rights without corresponding duties can lead to limitless demands and undermine the common good, and how immigration highlights the intersection of human rights and national boundaries.
Class #03
This document discusses four sources of Catholic Christian ethics: Scripture, natural law, tradition, and experience. It notes that Scripture provides the starting point but has limitations. Natural law reflects discernment of moral truths but is limited. Tradition involves Church teaching authority but is also limited. Experience, like a map, provides guidance but the terrain itself can differ. Together these overlapping sources provide a framework for deriving moral positions in the Catholic tradition.
Class #08
I. Indirect abortion occurs when a procedure to save the woman's life results in the fetus's death, whereas direct abortion is when a procedure is performed with the intent of killing the fetus to save the woman's life.
II. Mary Ann Warren argues that personhood begins after birth based on criteria like an individual's ability to regard itself as a distinct entity. She claims that killing a disabled newborn is not morally equivalent to killing a person and may not be wrong.
III. Warren's arguments place personhood after birth but raise questions about whether choice should be the sole consideration in the abortion debate.

This document summarizes a class syllabus and introductory discussion. It outlines course requirements including readings, assignments, and grading. Key aspects are acquiring information through reading, developing lifelong learning skills through classwork and discussion, and exploring ethical questions around issues like abortion, healthcare, and capital punishment. Students are asked to consider what aspects of life their ethical values impact and how ethics shape choices over a lifetime.
Essential Questions for Students
The document discusses essential questions, which are open-ended questions that encourage critical thinking over memorization. Essential questions are found at the top levels of Bloom's Taxonomy and require students to evaluate, synthesize, and analyze information. Common types of essential questions are "which one," "how," "what if," "should," and "why." Well-written essential questions are open-ended, thought-provoking, and do not have single correct answers. Examples of essential questions are provided on various topics.
Essential Questions For Students
This presentation is for use with students who are going to be creating essential questions to guide their research for a project.
Research methods
This document provides an introduction to research methods for conducting surveys in parishes. It discusses both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative methods involve collecting and analyzing numerical data through tools like questionnaires and statistical analysis. Qualitative methods explore topics in more depth through interviews and examining words, pictures, or objects. The document outlines the typical steps in a research process, including identifying an area of study, developing questions, reviewing existing literature, designing and piloting a survey, collecting and analyzing results, and presenting findings. It also discusses choosing appropriate research methods and tools like NVivo or SPSS for analyzing qualitative and quantitative data respectively.
Openness, Learning Analytics, and Continuous Quality Improvement
- Openness in education refers to making educational materials like textbooks, courses, and resources freely available and allowing them to be reused, revised, remixed, and redistributed.
- When educational materials are openly shared, expertise can be given without being given away as knowledge is nonrivalrous. This unprecedented sharing allows for education to occur on a greater scale than ever before.
- Analytics of student interaction data from open educational resources and courses can help identify struggling students and curricular areas needing improvement, enabling continuous quality improvement of education through an ongoing cycle of assessment and refinement.
Mentoring
The document provides an overview of the mentoring process for graduate students in an online program. It outlines the responsibilities of mentors, which include providing wisdom, guidance, conversation and friendship to mentees through weekly email exchanges over a six week period. Potential topics for mentors and mentees to discuss include goals, interests, challenges in courses, and how the mentor can provide support. The goal is for mentors to help mentees through their programs and benefit from the mentoring relationship.

Problem Based Learning in the Social Studies
This document discusses problem-based learning (PBL) in social studies education. It provides examples of PBL projects and driving questions. It also outlines some key characteristics of effective PBL, including that problems should be ill-structured, encourage collaboration, and provide scaffolding and access to appropriate tools. PBL is presented as a way to make learning more authentic, student-centered, and emotionally engaging by connecting it to real-world problems.
Ethical Argument Paper
The article provides strong arguments for keeping religion out of public schools, including that no one is trying to take away people's right to pray. It makes several interesting points and reminds readers to continue educating others to preserve the separation of church and state in schools. The author presents their position without fear and backs it up with compelling evidence.
Day 2-EWRT 2
1. The document discusses checking in on homework assignments and signing up for office hours. It then covers evaluating sources like images and websites using critical thinking questions.
2. System 1 and System 2 thinking are introduced, where System 1 is fast/automatic thinking and System 2 is slow, reasoned thinking. Critical thinking is linked to System 2.
3. The concept of learning like a "sponge" is compared to "panning for gold", where panning represents a more active, critical thinking approach. Students discuss incorporating more critical thinking into K-12 curricula.
Task inquiry term 2-loimata
This document summarizes a student's inquiry project on improving relationships. The student investigated how to stop arguments and what causes bad relationships. They conducted surveys and researched online. Their findings were that most arguments stem from sensitivity, bullying, and stress, and can be prevented by avoiding these things. Bad relationships usually result from lying, constant arguing, bullying and not spending time together. The student learned about classifying questions, finding valid information from multiple sources, and gained skills in group work, discussions, and presenting their findings.

The document also links key questions to different phases of an inquiry process, including framing the inquiry, tuning in, finding out, sorting out, reflecting and acting. It provides examples of question prompts to remember information, prompt deeper thinking, reflection, transfer of learning, and creativity.
Research is a Social Process
This document discusses the importance of networking for research. It argues that research is a social process that requires strong relationships with advisors, lab mates, and the broader research community. Effective networking involves verbal and written communication skills, attending conferences, introducing yourself to others, following up afterwards, and practicing informal conversations to build your professional network over time. This network provides benefits like feedback, collaboration opportunities, and letters of recommendation that can advance your career.
