The process of knowing is explicate and explains to a large extent the meaning and also the nature of knowledge. Knowing happens through perception, reason, emotion, and codification.
Culture gives information that can serve to explain why people behave in a certain way. Culture will help us to understand the reasons behind people’s behaviours. The culture into which a child is born acts in more fundamental ways as the means of knowing. As knowing is a meaning making process the meanings to the concepts are provided by the language of the society and the cultural context. Language is a good indicator of how a culture is.

Concrete knowledge is as the name suggests. It involves only those things, which are visible to the human eye and are obvious to anybody looking at them. Concrete knowledge is empirical knowledge gained by one’s own experience and observation. Sensory organs are the gateway of knowledge, with the help of which a child perceives by seeing, smelling, hearing, and touching. Such knowledge is called concrete knowledge.
Abstract knowledge can be explained as the manner of thinking, and its concentration is on conceptualisation or generalisation. Abstract knowledge involves the much deeper, wider, and multitude of meanings of a single concept or idea, which can arouse other issues that were never seen or discussed before.

Relative Roles of Knower and the Known in knowledge transmission and construc...Kshetrimayum Sajina Devi
Knowledge creation involves systematisation of various facts through dynamic interaction between individuals and the environment. The capability to increase and utilize the knowledge is considered most advantageous to an individual. The process of knowing is a personalised individual task that is influenced by experience and unintentional contextual cues.
It helps in developing the power of expression of the students.
It is help to ascertain the personal difficulties of the students.
It provide a check on preparation of assignments.
It can be used by teacher to maintain discipline in class.
It is used to promote thinking skill of the student.
It is used to draw attention in the class.
Knowledge is an organized set of statement of fact or ideas, presenting a reasoned judgment or an experimental result, which is transmitted to others through some communication medium is some systematic form. Knowledge consists of new judgments (Research and Scholarship) or presentation of older judgments as exemplified in text books, teaching and learning and collected as library and archival material
Knowledge construction is a dialectical process, which involves systematisation of various facts through dynamic interactions between individuals and the environment. Knowledge creation is a spiral that goes through seemingly opposing concepts such as order and chaos, micro-macro, part-whole, mind and body, tacit and explicit, deduction and induction, and creativity-efficiency. There is need to understand that knowledge creation is a transcending process through which entities (individuals, groups, and institutions) go beyond the boundary of the old into a self-acquiring new knowledge. Learners work with their knowledge such that they link their new knowledge to their existing knowledgebase.
Inquiry-based learning is a learning and teaching approach that emphasizes students’ questions, ideas and observations. Instructors actively encourage students to share their thoughts and to respectfully challenge, test and redefine ideas. With inquiry-based learning, instructors and students share responsibility for learning.
Inductive and deductive method of teaching
It is generally starts from the specific to general. This method is generally known as Statistical Method, Scientific Methods and Empirical Method It quite popular method for framing generalisation. In this method we proceed from Known/ Concrete to Unknown/ Abstract
Bruner’s theory attaches importance to the prior knowledge of the students. Due to this, the ideas of scientific principles are also given importance in education. It develops the Logical Thinking of the students.
On the basis of this, the memory and imagination power of the students are developed. It provides opportunities for the students to come to a conclusion by doing activities on their own. Due to this, creativity skills are developed in the students.
These ideas of Bruner are given an important place in the education world.
This psychological theory of learning is a good way to make the present modern teaching-learning process effective.
Discussion as a tool for learning - Discussion is often use in classroom. It promotes creativity as well as generate meaningful interaction and understanding for the learner.
Questioning skills helps in having successful relationship between the teachers and students and it will help to gain more information in the teaching learning process.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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

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.
2. Different ways of knowing
Any information about a place or thing is known as the knowledge of that
particular entity. So, we can say that knowledge is knowing about someone
or something. Knowledge is familiarity, awareness or understanding of
someone or something such as facts, information, descriptions or skills,
which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving,
discovering or learning. The interaction of people in society generates
knowledge, while developing knowledge means knowledge is based on
previous experiences.
3. The Process of Knowing
The process of knowing is explicate and explains to a large extent the
meaning and also the nature of knowledge. Knowing happens through
perception, reason, emotion, and codification. The valid ways of knowing
are perception, reason, emotion, and language. All have a particular
purpose and place. A child from infancy to early childhood relies heavily on
the sense perception for knowledge acquisition. It is only after stepping
into late childhood that the other three ways of knowing starts taking
place. Language and emotions are followed by reason, and by adulthood,
it is combination of all the four that converge in the process of knowledge
acquisition.
4. Let us discuss about the ways of
knowing in detail
1. Sense Perception
It is the most basic and immediate way of knowing, but sometimes it might not be a very
reliable source. The acquisition of knowledge begins with the reception of external stimuli by
our sense organs, which is immediately converted into the form of perception. Thus,
knowledge starts with the experience of the facts or matters through the sense organs,
individually and collectively at the individual level or while participating in any social activity.
The ultimate source of all human knowledge is the evidence of reality provided by the senses.
All the five senses such as touch, taste, sight, smell, and hearing, contribute towards our quest
for knowledge acquisition. They are sometimes referred to as the gateways of knowledge.
Sensations are simple sensory experiences. Perceptions are complex constructions of simple
elements joined through association. Perception is influenced by expectations, needs,
unconscious ideas, values, conflicts, and past learning of a person. Sense perception is a
subjective activity, and hence, it varies from individual-to-individualdepending upon one’s
innate abilities. Our physical conditions, motivational dispositions, and mental state direct our
sense perception. Perception is the process of attaining awareness or understanding of the
environment by organising and interpreting sensory stimuli. It is shaped by learning, memory,
and expectation.
5. 2. Language
Language is a system of conventional, spoken, manual, or written symbols by
means of which human beings, as members of a social group and participants
in its culture express themselves. Language is the primary basis of all
communication and the primary instrument of thought. Language is
determined by a number of factors such as social background, attitudes, and
origin of people. Language acts as a carrier or medium for conveying
knowledge from one individual to the other. It integrates knowledge acquired
through varied sources at varied places and names it. It helps in memorising
and recalling. Language contributes to knowledge acquisition and
transmission. Language is so much a part of human activity that it is easily
taken for granted. The issues related to language and knowledge call for
conscious scrutiny in order to recognise its influence on thought and
behaviour.
6. 3. Reason
The action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way to form a
conclusion or judgement is called reasoning. Developing rational and critical
thinking abilities is pivotal to acquiring reliable knowledge. It involves both
conscious and unconscious reasoning. Sometimes what has happened in the
past teaches us to reason with reference to the future. Developing association
between past, present, and future occurrences is part of the reasoning process
creating patterns in the process of learning. In logic, we often refer to the two
broad methods of reasoning, namely, deductive and inductive reasoning.
Deductive reasoning works from the more general to the more specific.
Sometimes this is informally called a ‘top-down approach’. Inductive reasoning
works the other way, moving from specific observations to broader
generalisations and theories. Informally, we sometimes call this a bottom-up
approach
7. Emotion
It is a strong feeling deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, and
relationships with others. One of the ways of knowing is emotion.
Emotions and their expression vary across cultures and hence, knowledge
so acquired may not be as reliable. It is subjective and less measurable. It
helps as well as hinders in the process of knowledge construction. The
training of emotion is a key factor in enhancing the teaching-learning
process. There are few ways by which students can be initiated into the
process of knowing. They are by experiencing the situations themselves, by
relating to previous knowledge, by dealing with problematic situations and
developing rational, abstract knowledge, and by relating to real- life
situations.
