Research (supplemented by informal observation) over the past ten years has shown that students of all ages have particular difficulties finding, interacting with and using information; difficulties that are exacerbated by characteristics of the WWW and by the nature of students’ interaction with it. If we want students to develop as independent learners and problem –solvers, in and out of the classroom, we need to address these difficulties in a systematic way.

Didactic relation in the teaching-studying-learning processGhazally Spahat
The relation between general didactics and subject didactics is first analysed and the special characteristics of subject didactics are described. With help of didactic triangle the pedagogical relation between the teacher and the student is discussed. The core of subject didactics is outlined as the teacher´s relation to another relation, that between the student and the content. The manifest part of this later relation is expressed as studying and the latent part as learning. Finally the fact that every teacher has a didactics of his/her own is discussed.

The following draft presentation is centered on supporting educators who are working towards ensuring students are developing mastery in content, cognate, and cognitive learning outcomes in their classroom. The presentation focuses on strategies, underpinned by research, that elevate a teachers practice to inspect daily instructional and assessment strategies, build and inspect curriculum to enable surface and deep level knowledge construction, and to design a learning environment that builds the capacity of and involves learners in understanding their learning and taking action to constantly improve.
The slide deck goes further, providing guidance to site and district leaders to develop systems of deeper level learning.
Core outcomes of the presentation:
- Understand specific practices that limit the impact potential of problem and project based learning in the substantial enhancement of student learning
- Understand specific practices that have a high probability of enhancing student learning in the learning environments that utilize problem and project based learning.
- Understand underlying cognitive principles and specific strategies teachers may utilize to create a learning community to discuss learning, design and implement projects to ensure surface and deep level knowledge, and work collaboratively to review the impact of learning with students.
- Understand key tactical approaches that support site and district leaders in building and sustaining deeper learning systems.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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 “any matter” at “any time” 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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

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.

Developing the professional curriculum: looking both ways with practice knowledge and theory
1. Developing the professional curriculum: looking
both ways with practice knowledge and theory
Dr. Richard Pountney
1
Social Realism Symposium
2nd July 2015
2. Outline
1. Review the curricular and pedagogic development of
professional courses and the importance of the
professional context
2. Identify issues associated with the role, effects and
implications of work-related learning in education
3. Examine the formation of specialist knowledge and
expertise and a reflection on the ‘know-how’ and
‘know-what’ in professional contexts
4. Reflect on the need for knowledge building in
professional /vocational fields and how to investigate
it
2
3. The sociology of professional
knowledge
• ‘The construction of the inner was a guarantee of
the construction of the outer. In this we find the
origin of the professions’ (Bernstein, 2000: 85)
• Professional knowledge is both ‘theoretical’
(general and unvarying) and practical (purposive
and contextual)
• About doing things but doing things in complex
ways that cannot rely on experience alone (Young
and Muller, 2014)
• Professional practice is always in a context, with a
purpose and relates to specific occupations
3
4. Regions, singulars and fields of practice
• Singulars: which represent knowledge relations (or
structures) oriented to inwardness – the rules,
methods and boundaries that define a discipline (e.g.
Sociology or physiology)
• Regions: which combine disciplines, selecting, pacing
and sequencing knowledge in relation to specific
purposes (e.g. Knowledge of muscles in physiotherapy)
• Fields of Practice: the specialised practical contexts in
which professionals practice – exercise knowledgeable
and reasoned judgements as professionals, by drawing
on, often tacitly, their acquired stock of specialised
professional knowledge
4
6. Reproduction of (professional)
knowledge in the curriculum
Higher education providers [should] have in place
effective processes to approve and periodically
review the validity and relevance of programmes
(QAA, 2011)
Why is it assumed that when we are ‘given’ a course
to teach that we know how to write a course
outline? Where is it that we ‘learn’ how to do this
important piece of pedagogy? What underpins
this process? (Millen, 1997: 11)

• Sustained policy steer (Robbins Report, 1963; Dearing
Report, 1997; Leitch Report, 2005).
• Instrumental in curriculum policy (Nixon et al., 2008;
Lester and Costly, 2010; Smith, 2012)
• Work-related learning associated with the
development of ‘skilful practices in context’ in which
academic and work-related achievements are situated
in particular contexts (Yorke, 2011: 120) and
‘vocational expertise’ (Billett, 2001).
• requiring a ‘paradigm shift’ in assessment (Gibbs,
2007) to articulate generic statements of learning
outcomes to phenomena that are ‘context-
dependence, situated or, uncertain and volatile’
(Sadler, 2002: 49).

13. Cathy’s story: the ‘reversible coat’
• Longstanding extra-curricular activity to help students
prepare for interviews and write CV
• Curricularised into a module for all:
• ‘Suddenly it was part of a module that was on their
timetable and so attendance improved and you were
able to get students to actually engage with it much
more seriously’
• ‘A lot of students will see that and think ‘I know how to
organise myself’
• ‘they give less importance to the developing of these
skills than to something with really hard content like
Housing Law or Finance’
13
14. Semantic profiles
A – high semantic flatline (theoretical and abstract)
B – low semantic flatline (practical and simple)
C – semantic wave (weakening and strengthening of context and density and
a larger semantic range)
(Maton, 2014)14
18. Ways of deepening learning
Increasing the semantic threshold iteratively by strengthening and deepening
learning through the increase in conceptual links
18
19. ‘Powerful knowledge’ as giving learners access to contexts beyond their experience in order
that cumulative knowledge building can take place. 19
20. Conclusion
• If we pay attention to the semantic structure
of knowledge we can help students cope with
difficult concepts
• This acknowledges that powerful knowledge
enables learners to go beyond their contexts
• It enables learners to develop knowledge
literacy (the specialised language of the
profession and the subject) in order that they
can be more effective learners.

Editor's Notes
Practice as the meeting of two logics: the logic of the field and the logic of actors’ dispoitions.
