MUSLIM PHILOSOPHERS' PERSPECTIVE ON EDUCATIONR.A Duhdra
Muslim Philosophers’ Contribution towards education is worth mentioning. Muslim Philosophers emphasized on logic, reality, freedom of will, sources Of knowledge etc. They have tried to harmonize the Philosophers Perspectives & Greek Philosophy with tenants of Islam and synthesize science, religion and philosophy and defined their subject matter to keep balance in them.
Questioning is a central part of student assessment and quizzing, but it can also be a powerful learning tool. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore research-based tips and ideas for achieving the full benefit of questioning. Effective use of common questioning tools -- clickers and discussion boards -- will be discussed as a means to achieve student engagement and deep learning.
The Tyler Model Is:
One Of The Best Known Models For Curriculum Development.
Known For The Special Attention It Gives To The Planning Phases.
Deductive For It Proceeds From The General (Examining The Needs Of Society,) To The Specific (Specifying Instructional Objectives).
Tyler Recommends That Curriculum Planners Identify General Objectives By Gathering Data From Three Sources:
1) The Learners
2) Contemporary Life Outside The School
3) Subject Matter. • After Identifying Numerous General Objectives, The Planners Refine Them By Filtering Them Through Two Screens:
1. The Philosophical Screen 2. The Psychological Screen

Principles for Knowledge Creation in Collaborative Design Science ResearchBoris Otto
Design Science Research (DSR) advances the scientific knowledge base while at the
same time leading to research results of practical utility. Several guidelines for DSR
have been proposed to support researchers in their work. Collaborative forms of DSR
require that knowledge be created across the boundaries of the research community and
the practitioners' community. Only little research, though, has been undertaken so far
investigating the topic of knowledge creation in collaborative DSR settings. Answers to
fundamental questions are still missing: What knowledge creation processes are used?
What problems may occur during researcher-practitioner collaboration? This paper
addresses the gap in literature by taking a knowledge creation perspective on DSR.
Based on a literature review and findings from the field it proposes a set of principles
for knowledge creation in collaborative DSR.

This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Assessing my behaviour as learner & teacher
Introspecting on my mannerism at work and personal life
Reacting during crisis and ambiguous situations
Giving clear instructions and responses
Receiving feedback
Seeking suggestions on problems
Discovering Innovative practices

9. Criticism: Stephen Brookfield’s four Lenses
Firstly being publicized as an imposter due in part to the fact that,
among teachers, “there is a general lack of confidence, a pervasive
feeling of vulnerability, a fear of being ‘found out’” (Lieberman &
Miller). Secondly, a risk of being placed on the periphery and seen as
a “troublemaker”. Thirdly, having to undergo the downfall of any
sense of conviction and lastly, a feeling of “being left in limbo”
(Brookfield, 1995).
10. Criticism: Stephen Brookfield’s four Lenses
Slightly Simplistic and misleading
Protecting practitioners from their own negativity and depression
Does not look into the future (self, students)
Ability to view through students lenses is questionable

Document Type:Article
Nelson Mandela reflected on, and sometimes modified, four core assumptions at the heart of his struggle to overturn the White domionance
Critical reflection's focus is on understanding the dynamics of power (and how to manipulate these) and on uncovering (and combating) ruling class hegemony
Although not clearly stated by him but elements of the model can be clearly seen
Mandela's reasoning on tactics and strategy, his awareness of the need to reappraise assumptions that previously were viewed as gospel, and his use of multiple lenses through which to view his actions as a freedom fighter exemplify the practice of critical reflection.

Using the lenses Makes us aware of
Those submerged & unacknowledged power dynamics
Assumptions
Lens 1: This is important as no one experiences the death of a dear one in the same manner. The details may defer but the tensions are essentially the same. During peer groups discussions we learn to manage crisis
These reflections are more productive than what we learn from book or seniors. We may realize that we are applying great models learnt from text books only to realize later upon reflection that they were baseless. In crisis and ambiguous situations we tend to fall back on instinctively on our experiences as learners and respond accordingly. (Delnico & pope). Eg is the teacher was underestimated, he tends to not do so which may make him lenient. Silence could be misunderstood as being attentive as it used to be in their days
Lens 2: Our learners
They misinterpret our instructions differently: So I need to be clear with instructions and clarifications (White wall)
We need to be careful of our insignificant comments as they might haunt us later
Learner are reluctant to be honest
Cardinal rule Anonymity while conduction CIQs
Only after they gain trust they speak honestly
CIQ
Lens 3: Helps get views of peers through critical conversations, They act as critical mirrors, We are able to check, reframe and broaden our own theories of practice. Makes us realize that we are not alone when it comes to the challenges we face.
Lens 4:
Helps us gain multiple perspectives.
Helps us understand that only we are not to blame all the time for failure – Britzman. We realize that the leaners anger is not because of/ directed towards us. It may because they are on the verge of changing and scrutinizing ones untouched areas. Minority groups may feel victimized.

Teaching CT to students:
Don’t say what am about to teach you will blow their old ideas out of the window rather say it is a process to validate the accuracy of your assumptions
It helps if you show how you as a teacher use CT
Let them work in groups- will learn faster
Use case studies, examples, simulations
Disorienting dilemma – Penny drop moment
They learn by modelling
Give personal examples
Don’t give your opinions let the discover theirs
Situation Analysis Test- Workshop for black/ White students: This is a great article that shows a lot of examples of assumptions and how they can be overcome.

David A. Kolb is an American educational theorist whose interests and publications focus on experiential learning, the individual and social change, career development, and executive and professional education
Born: 1939, Moline, Illinois, United States
Education: Harvard University, Knox College
Influenced by: John Dewey, Jean Piaget, Kurt Lewin
Kolb model is based on two continuums perception & Processing. We perceive things based on feeling and thinking. We process things based on watching and doing. The beauty of this cycles is that we can start from any stage and proceed forward till we come back to where we had started from.
http://www.bhmed-emanual.org/chapter_2_learning_styles_%E2%80%93_examples_for_use/strengths_and_weaknesses_of_the_kolb_model
David Kolb is putting forward a particular learning style model. The problem here is that the experiential learning model does not apply to all situations. Another problem is that Kolb’s theory provides only limited number of factors that influence learning. It doesn’t explain psychodynamic, social, and institutional aspects of learning.It is important to have in mind that people differ in their learning type over time and over situations. Different approaches may be needed even to same person in different situations.
