Constructivism is a learning theory where students actively construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. Teachers support a constructivist environment using the five E's: engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. This allows students to build their own understanding through inquiry, collaboration with peers, and reflection on their learning, with the teacher guiding and assessing the process.
It talks about reflective teacher education, reflection by teachers and students,need for reflective teaching, reflective thinking, reflective practice, reflective action, strategies for promoting reflection, observation by peer, reflection diary and its feedback.

John Dewey’s “Educational Progressivism”
Objectives:
Who was John Dewey?
What does Educational Progressivism means?
What is the purpose of education?
John Dewey
(0ctober 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952)
American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer
Founder of philosophical school of Pragmatism
Father of Functional Psychology
Educational Progressivism
Educational Progressivism
The main principle of educational progressivism is that humans are social animals who learn best in real-time activities.
Instructors should focus on providing students with the necessary skills and knowledge to survive and to succeed in our competitive society.
Strong emphasis on problem-based learning to develop problem solving and analysis skills (For example, instructor posing questions the exercise students’ minds in a practical manner)
The purpose of education is to enhance individual effectiveness in society and give learners’ practical knowledge and problem-solving skills.
Based on John Dewey's model of learning instructors should:
Become aware of the goal,
Define the objectives,
Propose hypotheses to achieve the goal,
Evaluate the consequences of the hypotheses from one's past experience, and
Test the most likely solution

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.

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.
5. Constructivism Engage Teachers must engage students in their lessons in order for them to learn. Engage students by: guiding whole group discussions, asking students to explain what they learned, working together in small groups to complete projects or tasks.
6. Constructivism Explore Students inquire, work together, form hypotheses, learn about new ideas and concepts on their own before coming together as a whole class. Students develop an idea of what they may think an object or idea is, then explore it further to see if their idea was accurate. Students use tools such as textbooks, the internet, scientific instruments, and their creative minds to explore new concepts.
7. Constructivism Explain The student will define and explain the current concept using their own words. The student will accomplish this using informational readings, group discussions, and teacher interaction. Learners will support each other by sharing their ideas, observations, questions, and hypotheses.
8. Constructivism . Elaborate Students will expand their learning on the concepts by making connections to related concepts and applying their understanding to the world around them. This will help students make connections that will lead them to more inquiry which will lead to new understandings.
9. Constructivism Evaluate Constructivism encourages teachers to assess their students learning on an ongoing basis. In traditional classrooms, assessment would be paper tests taken by the students after the content was taught and in which they received a grade. In a constructivist classroom the teacher assesses the students work and adapts the lesson plan to meet the needs of the learner.
11. Constructivism Explore Evaluate Teacher engages students by providing knowledge expansion tools the students use, collaboratively and cooperatively through inquiry, exploration, teamwork, whole group discussions, and evaluation. Advantages: Students LISTEN to their peers Students COLLABORATE with group members Students EXPLORE independently Teacher EVALUATES what students learned. Collaborate Listen Disadvantages: Requires extensive planning time
