Pragmatism is defined as a philosophical approach in which experience is the fundamental concept. Radu explains that in pragmatism, each experience is based on the interaction between subject and object, between self and its world and represents only the result of the integration of human beings into the environment (Radu, 2011). All in all, pragmatism promotes activity based learning. Pragmatism relates to Dewey’s work in many ways. The most significant being its rejection of traditional learning, and its emphasis on solving problems in a sensible way that suits conditions that really exist rather than obeying fixed theories, ideas, or rules (Cambridge, 2016).
Progressivism is a philosophical concept belonging to ‘new education’, is ‘a Copernican revolution’ in pedagogy, promoting ‘a child-centered school’ (Radu, 2011). Radu states that Dewey’s pedagogic view is not based on his philosophical concept, but al on the social, economic and cultural realities of American society (pg. 87). Progressivism is featured around the learning capacity continuing into adulthood; Dewey called this “permanent education”. Learning is done by doing; this is because Dewey believed authentic knowledge is achieved only through direct experience. Although Dewey though some target methods were necessary when teaching, he did not believe in teachers being forced to stick to routines (Radu 2011). This idea leads to the problem-problem solving method which in short states that in order to solve problem, an individual must: define the problem, analyze the problem, determine possible solutions, propose solutions, evaluate and select a solution, and determine strategies to implement solution. The progressive theory encourages learning through discovery, this allows the learner to acquire knowledge through interest, rather than effort.
Ragu also states that there are reactions against Dewey’s progressive education. Perennialism says that permanence is the fundamental feature of the world; not change. School is intended to promote the permanent values of the past and present. Essentialists believed the main purpose of school was to prepare th.
ABSTRACT : Teaching and learning is an infinite process. The process takes change by the time as according to the need of learner himself and societal needs. Now-a-days there is a vogue of using experiences in learning. The approach which is related to using experiences and correlate them with ones daily life is known as constructivism. Constructivist learning is based on students’ active participation in problem solving and critical thinking. It is affected by many school of ideas like Pragmatism, Existentialism and Reconstructionism with minor differences. It is a natural process of teaching and learning where teacher, learner, curriculum and assessment all revolves round the reality. It affects learners, social, psychological and emotional aspects to full extent. It is helpful in learning without burden. The purpose of this approach is to learn and teach happily and practically.

EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION
John Dewey
The great educational theorist's most concise statement of his ideas about the needs,
the problems, and the possibilities of education--written after his experience with the
progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories received.
"No one has done more to keep alive the fundamental ideals of liberal civilization." -
Morris R. Cohen
Experience and Education is the best concise statement on education ever published
by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the
twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education
(Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this
book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening
experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had
received .
Analyzing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that
neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because
neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience.
Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience
and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking
for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of
education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an
"ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most
readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of
experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both
orderly and dynamic.
"John Dewey is to be classed among those who have made philosophic thought
relevant to the needs of their own day. In the performance of this function he is to be
classed with the ancient stoics, with Augustine, with Aquinas, with Francis Bacon, with
Descartes, with Locke, with Auguste Comte."
--Alfred North Whitehead
"No one who is informed in the educational held can doubt for a moment the profound
influence of John Dewey on both the theory and the practice of American education."
--William Heard Kilpatrick
"John Dewey is unquestionably the preeminent figure in American philosophy; no one
has done more to keep alive the fundamental ideals of liberal civilization; and if there
could be such an office as that of national philosopher, no one else could be properly
mentioned for it."

The Inappropriateness of the Death Sentence
Add an introduction paragraph. Comment by Darlene Bennett: The introduction needs a topic sentence that describes the main idea of the paragraph, then provide background information and finally, include the thesis statement. The introduction should be five to eight sentences in length.
Thesis Statement Comment by Darlene Bennett: The thesis statement cannot be isolated by itself. You need to insert it as the last sentence of the introductory paragraph.
The death penalty, as practiced in some societies in the world, has had its positive aspects and negative aspects and my stand are that it should be abolished in any democratic state that seeks to ensure justice for both the victims of crime and the offenders.
The death sentence is against the bible and other religious guidelines Comment by Darlene Bennett: Capitalize the word “Bible.”
Death sentences against convicted criminals in the society go against the spirit and guidelines provided by religious faiths regarding our stay here in the universe. Comment by Darlene Bennett: Casual tone, stay formal and do not use first person pronouns.
Religious laws quoted in religious books prohibited the execution of man whatsoever. According to these religious laws, there is no compromise or a reason big enough to necessitate the punishment of an offender through death. The ten commandments developed by God himself in the book of Deuteronomy, under commandment five, prohibits the killing of a man. Universal religious laws concur with the Christian teaching regarding the execution of man as a way of punishment (Goldman, 2017). Comment by Darlene Bennett: This is a generalization – do all religious books state this? By Old Testament law, people were stoned for certain infractions. Be specific and provide a source for your fact. Comment by Darlene Bennett:
Religious teachings in all religion term human life as sacred and one that is not subject to limitation, in all circumstance. According to the various religions, it is God only who can terminate the life of a human being. They recommend the use of other means of justice for offenders to reform and revert back to their normal lives in the society (Goldman, 2017).
Further, no method of executing criminals is humane, all the methods are painful, inhumane and disrespectful.

They help with new enactment, state-of-the-art data on nursing issues, confirmations and proceeding with training, thus a lot increasingly significant nursing subjects. I turned into a part as an understudy, yet I didn't comprehend the significance of being associated with these associations. In the present changing social insurance framework, it is so imperative to be taught and included on the present issues. The ANA has been a promoter for profession improvement and improving the wellbeing for all Americans for more than 100 years. I need to turn into an individual from this long-standing association to keep awake to-date on issues, proceed with my training, and have any kind of effect in the nursing field.

Being an advocate means a lot, at many different levels. For instance, as LVN being an advocate is hands on, RN would be collaborating with many different discipling, BSN would be all the combination and take it to a management level. As working for hospice being a patient advocate is so important at the end of life. Working with dying patients and educating families about the medications needed for end of life comfort. For instance, Morphine 20mg/ml give 1 ml Po/SL q 2 hours PRN pain. (severe pain 7-10). With out this education on medication regimen patient would suffer in pain.

Comments: Excellent paper. It’s obvious that you put quite a bit of work into this. Unfortunately, your paper needs adequate citations in the body of the text to meet our standards on plagiarism. You need to cite each textbook from your bibliography whenever you quote or use some information from the textbook or other resource. For example, writing (Jones 285) after the quote or information used means that you got it from the book whose author was Jones and the info came from page 285.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a procedure in which laparoscopic techniques remove the gallbladder. It is the standard of care for symptomatic gallbladder disease, of which most are performed for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Other indications include acute cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, and gallstone pancreatitis.
Describe the reasons a patient might have the selected surgical procedure
The typical reason a cholecystectomy is a treatment of choice is inflammatory changes of gallbladder or blockage of bile flow by gallstones. Symptomatic cholelithiasis is the most common reason where gallstones in the gallbladder are blocking the bile flow and cause inflammation. The patient usually complains of episodic epigastric pain and right upper quadrant pain that radiates to the right shoulder. This pain is found to occur several hours after heavy meals and the patient experiences nausea, vomiting, bloating, fever, and right upper quadrant tenderness. Another condition is acute cholecystitis, where inflammation and symptoms are more prominent. The patient may have a fever, constant pain, positive Murphy's sign, or leukocytosis. Acute cholecystitis may be caused by calculous biliary tract disease with confirmed gallstones in the abdominal US. Acute acalculous cholecystitis usually occurs in critically ill patients, those with prolonged total parenteral nutrition, and some immunosuppressed patients. Patients with episodes of right upper quadrant pain (which are ‘classic' for biliary pain without evidence of cholelithiasis of US or ERCP) may also be referred for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Gallstone pancreatitis (when small stones pass through the cystic duct) confirmed by cholangiography is another indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Describe the reasons a patient might be disqualified for this surgery and the options for the patient if any
A patient might be excluded for laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to acute general conditions that are a contraindication for any surgery such as an acute cardiac failure, uncontrolled hypertension, acute renal failure, pneumonia, etc. The condition should be treated by a primary care provider or specialist and the patient should be stable prior surgery. Additional contraindications may include the inability to tolerate general anesthesia, significant portal hypertension, uncorrectable coagulopathy, and multiple prior operations.

Technologies enable people to connect by shared beliefs and social movements, rather than by just national or ethnic identification. There is no longer a location-bound or time element in global communication. We seek out those who share our beliefs, and this allows us to harness the power of ideas across borders. Conduct some research into the power of social media to effect political change and consider the following questions, sharing one recent example:
Has the advent of “technology assisted communication” contributed to an expansion of the democratic process? If so, in what way(s)? Is this approach to democratic interaction workable for the future or just a unique event?
How has social media contributed to political change? Examine this question using the example from your research.

Day 08 ActivityFisher & HughesSeptember 21, 2018Study
A study was conducted to determine the effects of alcohol on human reaction times. Fifty-seven adult individuals within two-age groups were recruited for this study and were randomly allocated into one of three alcohol treatment groups – a control where the subjects remain sober during the entire study, a moderate group were the subject is supplied alcohol but is limited in such a way that their blood alcohol content (BAC) remains under the legal limit to drive (BAC of 0.08) and a group that received a high amount of alcohol to which their BAC may exceed the legal limit for driving. Each subject was trained on a video game system and their reaction time (in milliseconds) to a visual stimulus was recorded at 7 time points 30 minutes apart (labeled T0=0, T1=30, T2=60 and so on). At time point T0, all subjects were sober and those in one of the alcohol consumption groups began drinking after the first measured reaction time (controlled within the specifications outlined). The researcher is interested in determining the influence alcohol and age (namely, is reaction time different for those in the 20s versus 30s) has on reaction times.
The task for today is to do a complete analysis for this study and dig into the effects of alcohol, age and time have on reaction times.Data input and wrangling
First read in the data:alcohol <- read.csv("alcoholReaction.csv")
head(alcohol)## Subject Age Alcohol T0 T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6
## 1 1 24 Control 255.3 254.8 256.4 255.1 257.0 256.1 257.0
## 2 2 34 Control 250.1 249.2 249.0 248.0 248.0 248.9 248.1
## 3 3 31 Control 248.2 247.1 246.9 246.7 246.0 246.0 247.0
## 4 4 24 Control 253.9 253.8 254.9 254.1 253.2 254.1 255.0
## 5 5 38 Control 250.0 251.0 250.0 249.9 248.8 249.1 249.9
## 6 6 38 Control 246.0 248.0 247.0 248.1 248.1 246.9 244.0
Note, the Age variable is recorded as an actual age in years, not the category of 20s or 30s like we want – we need to dichotomize this variable. Also note the data is in wide format – the reaction times (the response variables) are spread over multiple columns. We need a way to gather these columns into a single column. So we need to do some data processing.
First consider the below code:head(alcohol %>%
mutate(Age = case_when(Age<31 ~ "20s",
Age %in% 31:40 ~ "30s")))## Subject Age Alcohol .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Pragmatism is defined as a philosophical approach in which
experience is the fundamental concept. Radu explains that in
pragmatism, each experience is based on the interaction
between subject and object, between self and its world and
represents only the result of the integration of human beings
into the environment (Radu, 2011). All in all, pragmatism
promotes activity based learning. Pragmatism relates to
Dewey’s work in many ways. The most significant being its
rejection of traditional learning, and its emphasis on solving
problems in a sensible way that suits conditions that really exist
rather than obeying fixed theories, ideas, or rules (Cambridge,
2016).
Progressivism is a philosophical concept belonging to ‘new
education’, is ‘a Copernican revolution’ in pedagogy, promoting
‘a child-centered school’ (Radu, 2011). Radu states that
Dewey’s pedagogic view is not based on his philosophical
concept, but al on the social, economic and cultural realities of
American society (pg. 87). Progressivism is featured around the
learning capacity continuing into adulthood; Dewey called this
“permanent education”. Learning is done by doing; this is
because Dewey believed authentic knowledge is achieved only
through direct experience. Although Dewey though some target
methods were necessary when teaching, he did not believe in
teachers being forced to stick to routines (Radu 2011). This idea
leads to the problem-problem solving method which in short
states that in order to solve problem, an individual must: define
the problem, analyze the problem, determine possible solutions,
propose solutions, evaluate and select a solution, and determine
strategies to implement solution. The progressive theory
encourages learning through discovery, this allows the learner
to acquire knowledge through interest, rather than effort.
3. Ragu also states that there are reactions against Dewey’s
progressive education. Perennialism says that permanence is the
fundamental feature of the world; not change. School is
intended to promote the permanent values of the past and
present. Essentialists believed the main purpose of school was
to prepare the youth intellectually, by transmitting cultural
heritage. Students learn through theoretical education; by being
in direct contact with fundamental values, with what was
essential and common for humankind. Reconstructionism
criticized the individual tendencies of theory. This theory also
felt that Dewey underappreciated the fact of cultural
contributions to social changes (pg. 89). Edmonson gives many
examples as to how Dewey’s theories are flawed; he states that
not only are Dewey’s findings controversial, they are also
viewed with antipathy by some (pg. 2). Dianne Ravitch notes
John Dewey’s influence in generating at least two of the
misconceptions that now cripple American education: the use of
schools to solve social and political problems and the
depreciation of academics in favor of assorted “activities”.
Edmonson believes that Dewey's education systems are
impractical. Overall, when reading Hildreth and Edmondson’s
articles the biggest takeaway was that Dewey is criticized for
not explaining himself; or being unclear. Edmondson mentions
that Dewey promotes freedom in education; but does not really
explain what freedom is. He also explains that it is unclear
where books fit into the learning process. Hildreth makes
similar points stating that Dewey does not Dewey does not
articulate exactly how schools should or could bring about
reform.
Overall, my belief is that Dewey was well intentioned and
genuinely cared about education. After this week's readings I
was shocked to see how many critics Dewey had. Throughout
all of my education courses, Dewey has always been praised as
a huge contributor to education; which he was. However, his
4. critics make many valid points. Dewey’s ideologies of student
experience based learning are amazing. Students are more prone
to learn and grow when they are learning in reality. I do believe
that Dewey put too much emphasis on the present and future
and disregarded the value of the past. History is essential to
who we are and where we are today. Although I like the idea of
students learning based on their interests and creating their own
paths, I also find it to be a disservice to them. There needs to be
a balance. There are some skills and knowledge that should be
learned. For example, students should learn basic math skills.
Those courses should be required whether it is something they
are interested in or not. Dewey stressed on the importance of
student interest and self-learning. Though those are important
factors, it is our job as educators to find ways to help students
become interested in subject matter they may not enjoy. I
believe elementary school should be used as a place where
students are learning that basics and as they grow they should
be more free to explore avenues that interest them. This is how
high schools and colleges are set up. In high school, students
have the freedom of choosing electives that interest them,
attending vocational schools and exploring the world around
them to see where they will fit in adulthood. College/University
also offers the same freedoms.

Progressivism was based on pragmatism and at the time it was
introduced, it was a revolution in the American education
system. At this time, progressivism was developed in response
to America’s developing society. This view was based on
Dewey’s education theory, one of the most fundamental ideas
being that learning occurred by solving problems. Some of the
learning technique or problem solving strategies that Dewey
5. urged be taught in schools included tasks such as “building
projects, which were based on the achievement of a plan of an
idea. Consumer projects, which were to cultivate aesthetic taste
through literature and arts. Problem-solving projects, and
exercise projects, which led to the development of skills and
abilities” (Radu).
Dewey’s work did not go without criticism. Many people felt
that the best way to implement education was through
permanence, and if they were to change the way they educated
students, they wouldn’t be exposing their students to social
realities. Reconstructionism also “criticized the individual
tendencies of Dewey’s theory and the fact that the cultural
contribution to social changes was under-appreciated” (Radu).
One of the quotes from our readings this week that resonated me
was found in Hildreth’s article and states “such philosophical
and political reconstruction is essential, Dewey believes, to
preserve the American democratic experiment—indeed, to save
it from destruction. In order to survive, American democracy
must be transformed by a revolution in education, followed by a
social and economic revolution. One cannot occur without the
other, but education must first be revolutionized because it is
“the process through which the needed transformation may be
accomplished”. I truly believe in the dangers of saying “well,
we’ve always done it this way so that’s why we’re going to
continue doing it”. It’s easy to fall into a consistency of
teaching the way you’ve always taught because it works and it
gets the job done, but I feel that it’s important to question WHY
you teach the way you teach and consider ways it can be
improved. Many people were against Dewey’s thoughts on
education because it was so revolutionary and challenged many
others prior beliefs. An important part of education is reflecting
and constructively criticizing what and how you teach.
6. classmate 3
To put it succinctly
Pragmatism
in the context of Dewey revolves around the idea that
experience is the key to actually learning and that knowing
develops when we solve problems we encounter in everyday life
(Radu, 2). Dewey’s
Progressivism
stems from
Pragmatism
in that his student-centered theory is practical from the
perspective of students and how they actually learn and also
respects personality differences in teachers (Badu, 3). In
Dewey’s
Progressive
schools students learn by “stimulated interest” in subjects that
interest them. Other philosopher’s with similar ideas as Dewey
include Kilpatrick and his push for project-based learning,
Dalton’s individualized study, and Winnetka’s individualized
education.
Dewey has definitely had his share of critics over the years.
For example, there are those who advocate P
erennialism
meaning they believe we should continue to focus attention on
the great & lasting works from the past (Badu, 4). Edmonson
discussed other criticisms of Dewey including those that came
from the capitalist business/government class that opposed
Dewey’s politics, from religious traditionalists as Dewey did
not like religion, Dewey’s poor writing skills, and his ironically
dogmatic views opposing anything seen as traditional in
education. First and foremost Edmonson saw Dewey’s agenda
as being political more so than being about education. Put
7. another way, Dewey’s progressive interventionist big-
government politics made him tune out positive aspects of
American capitalism.
Hildreth, meanwhile, discussed criticisms of Dewey including
for his push away from expert driven models, lack of “core
knowledge or coherence”, “faults in logic”, and his lack of
definition for the word “social” in his theories. In the give and
take between the people and those in power who presumably
know more than lay people it is hard to see exactly whose views
should win out. Ideally the people in power can find some sort
of broad consensus but even then large segments of the
population get left behind. It is also important for members of
society to have some “core knowledge” that we all know, such
as the basic functions of our government and the periodic table,
though that concept is also difficult to articulate in a
meaningful manner for all citizens. Hofstadlter argued that
Dewey provided no appropriate ends for education meaning he
did not define what outcomes should be (Hildreth, 31).
My grade school experience was somewhat progressive in that
we had a more student-centered curriculum that allowed us
freedom in the classroom to choose our assignments and
complete individualized contracts. Within this context though
we had items on our contracts that our teachers told us we had
to complete. We were also guided away from what Dewey
would call “mis-educational” endeavors such as rowdy behavior
that would disrupt other students from their learning. There
were also some “non-educational” activities such as copying
definitions of words from the dictionary to memorize. Overall
though I do see how our teachers planned lessons to meet state
standards which addresses the criticism of Dewey over his lack
of “ends” in education. I do also see how my classmates were
prepared to learn for jobs that did not exist at the time. This
system worked well for me and most of my classmates but I am
not sure everyone reached their full potential. One friend’s
8. mother went so far as to send one son to my school and her
other to a more traditional school in the district. This leads us
to a discussion on charter schools and the school choice
movement that I am sure we will address in future modules.
