Lights, Camera, Action: Gathering Experiences of First-time Distance Learners
This document summarizes research into understanding the experiences of first-time distance learners. The research aims to improve supports and services for distance learners by investigating their experiences in their own words. Researchers conducted case studies of 20 first-time distance learners through questionnaires, weekly video diaries, and interviews to understand the soft factors of what it means to be a distance learner and how to enhance engagement and success. Preliminary findings suggest distance learning enables tertiary study to fit other commitments but digital literacy and awareness of support varies, so making tacit knowledge explicit is important.

Formal education programs at public gardens are structured lessons, activities, and classes led by qualified teachers that have defined educational goals and materials. They signal a garden's values and direction, allow it to communicate in-depth about the environment, and influence public discourse. Audiences include students of all ages, teachers, professionals, and community members. Good programs are place-based, project-based, developmentally appropriate, accessible, collaborative internally and externally, and evaluated. Starting with an educator and putting them in dialogue with other staff ensures quality programming that sustains over time.

Gender Diversity in STEM Education and Careers - Janet Hyde
This document discusses gender diversity in STEM education and careers. It presents several hypotheses about gender differences and similarities in abilities such as math and spatial skills. Meta-analyses have found most psychological gender differences are small (d <= 0.10) or trivial, supporting the gender similarities hypothesis. Barriers to women in STEM are likely due more to cultural and societal factors like stereotypes, rather than biological differences in aptitude. Promoting utility value and addressing variability in interests may help reduce gender gaps.
Early Childhood Math Examples - Sybilla Beckmann
The document discusses early math concepts and their connections to later math topics. It provides examples of how counting skills relate to determining quantities, how pattern recognition and spatial reasoning in early grades connect to algebra and geometry later on, and how area formulas and algorithms developed in elementary school form the basis for concepts in precalculus and calculus. The overall message is that math builds incrementally on itself from the earliest learning, with a common approach of inquiry, logical reasoning, and exploration across grade levels and disciplines.
Promoting Creativity: The Terrascope Program - Rafael Bras
The Terrascope program is a year-long program at MIT that focuses on environmental problem solving through project-based learning. Students take required courses on complex problem solving and communicating environmental issues through interactive museum exhibits. They work in cross-disciplinary teams on annual themes like sustainability in the Amazon or Arctic. The goals are to develop skills in problem solving, creativity, teamwork, communication and hands-on learning. Evaluations found growth in these areas and high student satisfaction with the program.
Engineering in K-12 Education - Linda Katehi
The document summarizes a study on engineering education in K-12 schools. It found that while K-12 engineering programs have grown, reaching about 6 million students, they remain small with limited teacher training. The study explored connections between engineering and other STEM subjects. It found positive impacts on student learning and interest in math and science, but noted a lack of diversity in programs and research on causal relationships. Recommendations included defining STEM literacy, better integrating engineering design into other subjects, collecting more impact data, and preparing teachers to lead K-12 engineering education.
Report of the Committee on Early Childhood Mathematics - The National Academies
The report provides recommendations for improving early childhood mathematics education in the United States. It recommends implementing a national early childhood mathematics initiative for children ages 3 to 6 to improve teaching and learning. This would include providing guidance on age-appropriate mathematics content, standards, curriculum, instruction and supporting the early childhood workforce and families. It emphasizes the importance of number concepts and geometry/spatial skills and providing high-quality instruction aligned with children's developmental levels.
Project Skills for Engineering Students - Michael McCarthy
This document describes an experiment to determine if providing first-year engineering students with project skills training and internships on senior projects impacts their learning of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The experiment involves measuring students' grades before and after a freshman project course that teaches skills like safety, documentation, and team management, and after interning on senior design projects. The hypothesis is that experience applying fundamentals through projects will improve students' mastery of related math and science topics.
Making STEM Connections - Ted Ducas
The document discusses two programs aimed at connecting students along and across educational institutions in STEM fields. The first program provides an introduction to engineering course at Wellesley College to connect liberal arts students to opportunities in engineering at partner institutions. The second program, called TOPS, is a summer program that encourages physics and engineering majors to consider teaching careers by having them develop hands-on science curricula and teach middle and high school students. Both programs aim to strengthen connections between different levels of STEM education.
Diversity and Inclusion in STEM Education - Milton Chen
This document discusses three key points about diversity and inclusion in STEM education. First, it argues that closing the digital divide through affordable access to technology for all students is not just an educational issue but a civil rights issue. Second, it notes the rise of STEM learning opportunities beyond the traditional school day and classroom, such as after-school programs. Third, it addresses the need to support the 10% of students with disabilities through assistive technologies like speech recognition to promote universal design principles that benefit all learners.
Inequality in Mathematics and Science Achievement - Walter Secada
Inequality in mathematics and science achievement exists along social-demographic lines such as gender, race, ethnicity, and social class. Not all inequalities are equal, and goals should be set to close achievement gaps or improve performance of underrepresented groups. Some determinants of achievement are malleable and can be changed by interventions, while others like family background are not. One such intervention is the P-SELL program, which uses inquiry-based science, language supports, and professional development to improve performance in math, writing and science for English language learners. Evaluation data shows P-SELL students outperformed controls on standardized tests.
Relevant Science Learning Paths for Preschool - Rochel Gelman
The document discusses research conducted by collaborators from various universities on science learning in preschoolers. It summarizes key findings from cognitive science that young children have abilities relevant to learning science concepts. The research involved teaching preschoolers about observations using their senses, plant and animal life cycles, and parent-offspring relationships through hands-on activities and assessments before and after the instruction. The findings showed preschoolers can learn important science concepts when instruction builds on their natural inquisitiveness and existing knowledge.
Professional Development for Early Childhood Mathematics Education - Herbert ...
Herbert P. Ginsburg argues that extensive professional development is needed to improve early childhood mathematics education. He describes two models: a pre-service program called VITAL that uses video analysis and lesson study to train teachers, and an in-service model using child study and lesson study with ongoing coaching. Both aim to help teachers overcome fears of math, understand children's mathematical thinking, and implement research-based curricula through hands-on practice and collaboration. Professional development is crucial because most early childhood teachers receive little math training and avoid teaching it, yet young children are capable of learning important math concepts when given the right opportunities.
Modern Learning Theories and Mathematics Education - Robert Siegler
- The document discusses applying theories of numerical cognition from developmental psychology research to improving mathematical understanding in low-income preschoolers. It describes research showing that playing number board games can help form linear representations of numerical magnitudes and improve skills like number line estimation, number comparison, counting, and numeral identification. The research found benefits for both numerical knowledge and skills from playing the number board game compared to a color board game.
Long-Term Effects of Early Childhood Experiences for Later Achievement - Marg...
The document summarizes research on the long-term effects of early childhood experiences and interventions. It finds high correlations between skills at school entry and later achievement. Experimental studies show early intervention programs improved outcomes like IQ, education levels, and employment. High-quality early childhood programs were linked to better language and academic skills into elementary school, especially for low-income children. Adoption studies also showed environmental influences on IQ, with adopted children's scores changing to match their new socioeconomic status.
The Long Reach of Early Math Skills - Greg Duncan
Early math skills are strongly correlated with future school achievement and completing high school and college. Children who have persistently low math skills from kindergarten through 5th grade are more likely to drop out of high school and less likely to attend college compared to children without persistent math difficulties. They are also at greater risk of being arrested as males in early adulthood.
The Need for STEM Professionals - Dr. Henry Samueli
The document discusses the need for STEM professionals and outlines statistics from Broadcom, a global technology company. It notes that 75% of Broadcom's 7,500 employees are engineers and over half have advanced degrees. However, underrepresented groups make up a small percentage of engineering roles. Additionally, while engineering salaries are among the highest, interest must be stimulated in STEM fields from an early age to improve diversity and meet future demand for such professionals.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
