Political literacy refers to having the ability to understand political issues and events from a political perspective using the language and arguments of citizens dealing with public issues. Historically, military service and communal obligation have been connected to citizenship. There has been a decline in political literacy in the 21st century due to distrust in political institutions and a large gap between public and private domains, though organizations have been established to combat political illiteracy and support social studies curriculum.

Political philosophy
The document discusses the development of Critical Race Theory as an area of scholarship within political philosophy. It argues that just as Feminist scholarship has grown into its own category, Critical Race Theory should do the same by analyzing the views of philosophers through the lens of race and constructing genealogies of racism. It provides examples of how philosophers' theories were influenced by and justified racial domination and the creation of a racial polity that subordinates non-whites.
Digital literacy skills in the 21st century
Digital literacies have broadened beyond just computer literacy and now include skills like media literacy, financial literacy, and global understanding. Digital literacy refers to an individual's ability to effectively function in a digital society and involves skills like accessing and understanding online media and content. There are several components of digital literacy including media literacy, information literacy, ICT literacy, communication/collaboration skills, identity management, learning skills, and digital scholarship. Core 21st century skills that are important for digital literacy include critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration.

Arnold Serrano (Chapter 1 and 2)
This document summarizes the key points from two chapters of a textbook on educational technology. It discusses observing a mathematics class that used a laptop as an instructional material. The observation focused on the teaching method used and how technology was incorporated.
It then discusses interviewing teachers from different generations about how teaching and learning has changed over time, focusing on methods, materials, strategies, and activities. Traditional methods relied more on books while newer approaches emphasize student-centered learning and use of various technologies.
The document outlines 21st century skills and having students assess their own skills and areas for improvement. It discusses contributing to the community through education and a stronger economy. Standards for effective technology use are presented and the document pledges
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY
The document defines and describes several major political ideologies including anarchism, communism, conservatism, environmentalism, liberalism, nationalism, and socialism. Anarchism advocates for stateless, self-governed societies based on voluntary cooperation. Communism's ultimate goal is the establishment of a classless, collectively owned communist society. Conservatism promotes retaining traditional social institutions. Environmentalism concerns protecting the environment. Liberalism is based on ideas of liberty and equality. Nationalism involves shared feelings of identity within a geographic region. Socialism involves social ownership and democratic control of production.
Problem-Based vs. Project Based Learning
This presentation discusses project-based learning (PBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) strategies and their benefits for students. Both approaches engage students through open-ended, real-world problems and projects. They develop critical thinking, collaboration skills, and help prepare students for 21st century careers. While similar, problem-based learning focuses on solving complex problems, often related to science or social studies standards. Project-based learning allows student-driven inquiry based on their interests. Both require students to research and develop solutions or products to demonstrate their understanding.
Integrating Technology in the Classroom
Successful technology integration in schools occurs when teachers are well-trained to routinely and transparently incorporate accessible technology resources that support curricular goals and help students effectively learn, such as computers, mobile devices, and software; this allows students to build a deeper understanding of content and provides opportunities to express knowledge through multimedia.
Ed.tech.ii chapter 6 (instructional software for classroom use)
The document discusses six types of instructional software: drill and practice, tutorial, simulation, instructional games, problem-solving, and software support tools. Each type is defined and guidelines for selecting, benefits, and limitations are provided. Drill and practice software allows practice and feedback, tutorial software acts like a tutor, simulation models systems, games add competition, problem-solving teaches problem-solving skills, and support tools improve efficiency. The document provides information on choosing and using different types of educational software in the classroom.
School and Community Relations
A community school is both a place and a partnership between the school and community resources. This partnership involves collaboration in various areas such as planning, policy making, communication, problem solving, and program and financial development. There are two main types of participation - collaborative relationships and organized associations. Collaborative relationships include projects like literacy assistance and civic participation. Organized associations include groups like the Parent-Teacher Association which provides a forum for discussion and ensures parental cooperation and support of the school.

Integrating technology into the curriculum
This document discusses technology integration in education. It defines technology integration as combining hardware, software, and curriculum content to enhance learning. Some key benefits of technology integration include motivating students, providing unique applications, and enabling new approaches to instruction. However, barriers like lack of training, budget constraints, and resistance to change can impede technology integration. The document provides strategies for successful integration, such as identifying learning objectives, selecting appropriate tools, and allowing students opportunities to work with technology. It also gives examples of how specific technologies like productivity software, the internet, and digital cameras can support different subject areas.
Digital Citizenship
The document outlines the nine elements of digital citizenship which are: digital access, commerce, communication, literacy, etiquette, law, rights and responsibilities, health and wellness, and security. It defines each element and provides examples of how they apply to students, teachers, and parents using technology appropriately and responsibly in the 21st century digital world. Educators must teach digital citizenship skills to ensure full participation, commerce, and communication online, while respecting intellectual property, personal wellbeing, and network safety.
Marxism
Karl Marx was a German philosopher who developed a materialist conception of history. He believed that history is driven by class struggle between social classes and that society progresses through different modes of production. Marx saw capitalism as exploiting the working class, or proletariat, by paying them less than the value they produce. He predicted that internal contradictions within capitalism would lead to its self-destruction, bringing about a communist revolution and a classless society.
4 facts, concepts and generalizations jan 19
This document discusses teaching concepts, facts, and generalizations in social studies. It defines each term and provides examples. Facts are specific pieces of information, concepts are abstract ideas, and generalizations are relationships between two or more concepts. The document encourages using classroom experiences like activities and projects to help students build knowledge in these three areas to better understand social studies content.
Teaching approach, strategy, method and techniques
The document discusses different teaching approaches and methods. It identifies teacher-centered, learner-centered, subject matter-centered, and learner-centered as some of the main approaches. It also discusses direct instruction/lecture method, demonstration method, and indirect/guided/exploratory approach as specific teaching methods. Direct instruction involves the teacher directly telling or showing students what is being taught, while indirect methods guide students to discover things for themselves through inquiry-based learning.
Perennialism
Oldest and most conservative Educational Philosophy basing its teachings on the Great Books, written by the most exceptional minds ever known to mankind. It values knowledge that transcends time. It is teacher centered and subject centered--focusing on the curriculum and not the learners' interest. It aims to develop both the learners' moral & intellectual qualities
Curriculum content.ppt
The document discusses curriculum content and its elements. It defines curriculum as all learning planned by the school, whether individual or group activities inside or outside the school. Content is defined as information to be learned and can come in various forms like audio, text, or video. The document outlines criteria for selecting content, including significance, relevance to learners' lives, variety, suitability, validity, interest, utility, and feasibility. It emphasizes organizing content through sequencing, continuity, and integration to improve learning.
What Is Marxism?
Marxism is an intellectual tradition based on the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that analyzes history, capitalism, and envisions a post-capitalist future. Marxism sees society as defined by class struggles over control of production. Marx argued capitalism would inevitably be replaced by socialism - where workers collectively control production - and eventually communism, with a stateless, classless, and moneyless society.
Tpack as a framework for technology driven teaching and
The document discusses the TPACK framework for technology-driven teaching and learning. TPACK combines the teacher's technological knowledge, content knowledge, and pedagogical knowledge. This framework shows how these knowledge areas intersect and integrate technology to make teaching more engaging, relevant, and effective. The document also introduces the SMART model for infusing technology into teaching, which represents different levels of technology integration from substitution to redefinition.
Curriculum Evaluation
Evaluation is the process of collecting data on a programme to determine its value or worth with the aim of deciding whether to adopt, reject, or revise the programme. The public want to know whether the curriculum implemented has achieved its aims and objectives; teachers want to know whether what they are doing in the classroom is effective; and the developer or planner wants to know how to improve the curriculum product.
APUSH LEQ Rubric
This document contains rubrics for scoring AP United States History Long Essay Questions (LEQs) on four historical thinking skills: causation, periodization, continuity and change over time, and comparison. Each rubric is structured the same way and evaluates the thesis, evidence/argument, historical thinking skill, and synthesis. Points are awarded for demonstrating the historical thinking skill, explaining reasons, and connecting the argument to other contexts.
John Locke's Political Philosophy
The document discusses John Locke and his work on liberal democracy. It summarizes that while Locke is typically seen as the founder of liberal individualism and possessive individualism, his thinking was actually strongly influenced by medieval Christian traditions. Locke was able to build the modern political form of liberal democracy while retaining aspects of medieval Christian thought. His work provides the foundations for recognizing inalienable human rights and persuades people on the direction society should move in.

Problems in supervision
The document discusses problems with supervision by principals based on teacher opinions and surveys. A survey found that 43% of teachers did not think faculty meetings were used for collaboration, 35% did not think the principal tried to develop a cohesive team, and 42% said teachers seldom received leadership helping them do their best work. Additionally, a study ranked the top factors contributing to teacher job satisfaction, with the #1 factor being dynamic leadership from the building principal. Poor school leadership was cited as the reason for leaving teaching by 33% of teachers in another survey.
Social philosophy of education
The document discusses social philosophy of education and analyzes three theories - that education should provide equality, promote freedom, and instill democratic values. It examines each theory in detail, discussing challenges in implementation and concluding that equality is better framed as justice, freedom must benefit education, and democracy in schools must consider students' long-term welfare above all.
Curricular landscape for the 21 st century
The document discusses considerations for developing curricula for 21st century learners. It outlines that 21st century learners are collaborative, adaptable, tech-savvy, and rely on media. An emerging 21st century curriculum emphasizes learning to know, do, be, and live together. It should integrate interdisciplinary, globalized, student-centered, and tech-oriented approaches. Key skills include literacy, numeracy, technology competence, ethics, and social skills. Core values at the heart of 21st century curriculum are respect, responsibility, integrity, care, resilience, and harmony.
Curriculum Content or Subject Matter
The document discusses the selection and organization of subject matter in curriculum development. It provides 7 criteria for selecting subject content: self-sufficiency, significance, validity, interest, utility, learnability, and feasibility. It also discusses ensuring a balance, proper sequencing, integration, continuity and articulation of content across grade levels. The overall goal is to choose relevant and engaging content that students can learn effectively and apply in their daily lives.
Political Philosophies of Education
The document discusses different political philosophies of education including fascism, communism, and democracy. Under fascism, education aimed to build character and obedience over intellectual growth. Communism viewed education as strategic for achieving revolution and producing revolutionaries.

Political History of the Philippines
The document summarizes the political history and system of government in the Philippines. It discusses that the Philippines has had four constitutions since declaring independence in 1898. The government has three branches - executive, legislative, and judicial. The executive branch is headed by a president. The legislative branch has a 24-member Senate and 250-member House of Representatives. Local governments are organized into provinces, cities, municipalities and villages.
Politics and governance with constitution rpc
This document provides an overview of key concepts in political science and governance. It defines political science as the systematic study of states and governments. It describes the elements of a state as being the people, territory, government, and sovereignty. It notes that sovereignty resides with the people. It also discusses theories on the origin of states and the differences between concepts like citizenship, nationality, and nation versus state.
Politics and Forms of Government in the Philippines
Politics involves the study of power and influence between rulers and the ruled. It can be defined as the art of compromise to achieve goals or the capacity to say no to dangerous ideas. Politics exists wherever people try to wield power and influence over others. The key elements of politics are rule, authority, influence, and power. Governance involves the political, economic, and administrative authority to manage a country's affairs. A state has a defined territory, people, government, and sovereignty, while a nation is based more on shared ethnicity and culture.
Political Development of the Philippine Government
Prior to Spanish colonization, the Philippines was composed of independent barangays ruled by datus. Each barangay had its own laws and social hierarchy, and sometimes barangays joined together in confederations. Under Spanish rule, the barangays were consolidated into centralized provinces under the authority of a governor-general in Manila, who had executive, legislative, and judicial powers over the entire country. After the Philippine Revolution, several revolutionary governments were established, including the Katipunan, Biak-na-Bato Republic, and Revolutionary Government, before the Philippines came under U.S. control and a series of colonial governments. During Japanese occupation, the Japanese military administered the country before establishing a puppet republic.

This document discusses key questions about the study and teaching of political communication. It examines what constitutes political communication, who is studied, when and where it occurs, how it is studied, and why it is studied. It argues that the field could broaden its focus beyond U.S. presidential rhetoric and elections to study other levels of government, international contexts, and historical periods. It also calls for more attention to context, ethics, civic virtue, and progress in the study and teaching of political communication.
Political parties and interest groups
Public opinion plays an important role in politics. It is shaped by both internal psychological processes and external cultural and social influences. There are different classifications of the "public" based on their level of interest, from inattentive to highly engaged. Traditional methods of measuring public opinion include public opinion polls. The media also plays a key role in politics as the primary means of expressing and influencing public opinion. As the "fourth branch of government", the media serves important democratic functions like keeping politicians accountable and ensuring an informed citizenry.
Lecture seven politics as power-part two
The document discusses the relationship between politics and power. It defines three dimensions of power: decision-making, agenda setting, and thought control. Politics involves a struggle over scarce resources, and power is the means through which this struggle is conducted. Radical feminists and Marxists view politics as occurring wherever resources are unequally distributed, including within families and personal relationships. The document concludes that politics takes place at all levels of social interaction, from personal relationships to international organizations, as it involves the allocation of scarce resources.
Chapter 8&9
The document discusses the formation of public opinion and the role of interest groups in influencing public policy. It defines public opinion as attitudes held by groups on political matters. Family, education, mass media, peer groups, and opinion leaders are described as major influences in shaping public views. Interest groups represent specific interests and try to impact policymaking at all levels of government. They provide information and a means for participation, but some criticize their disproportionate influence. Major interest groups discussed include business, labor, and other issue-focused organizations.
Introduction to media studies
The document discusses freedom of the press and whether it can oppress and deceive the masses. It examines different theories of the press and media systems. While a free press is important for democracy, it can also present biased or sensationalized information. The document argues that an uncritical press could promote stability but may unduly influence those without strong media literacy skills. Ultimately, the press provides checks on government but must be responsible and aware of its influence to sustain an informed public.
Media, Politics & Public relations
Media has always played an integral role in society by informing the public and reflecting realities. It has become the fourth pillar of democracy by circulating important information. Media influences public opinion and relations between groups in both positive and negative ways by spreading information quickly, whether true or false. It has a significant impact on politics by shaping how elections are contested and citizens engage, and on public relations by affecting public perceptions. However, biased or misleading reporting can damage social harmony if it stirs conflict between groups. Maintaining ethical standards is important to ensure media fulfills its democratic purpose of informing citizens accurately.
Populism: Demand and Supply
Using individual data on voting and political parties manifestos in European coun- tries, we empirically characterize the drivers of voting for populist parties (the demand side) as well as the presence of populist parties (the supply side). We show that the economic insecurity drivers of the demand of populism are significant, especially when considering the key interactions with turnout incentives, neglected in previous studies. Once turnout effects are taken into account, economic insecurity drives consensus to populist policies directly and through indirect negative effects on trust and attitudes towards immigrants. On the supply side, populist parties are more likely to emerge when countries are faced with a systemic crisis of economic security. The orientation choice of populist parties, i.e., whether they arise on left or right of the political spec- trum, is determined by the availability of political space. The typical mainstream parties response is to reduce the distance of their platform from that of successful populist entrants, amplifying the aggregate supply of populist policies.
Online assignment
This document summarizes some key democratic challenges in contemporary society. It discusses how special interest groups, ethnic and single issue parties, and organized religion can potentially undermine democracy. It also examines how multinational corporations can maneuver around nation states' laws. Other challenges include lack of time leading to mass stupidity, voter apathy, government suppression of the press, the influence of mass media, and powerful lobbying groups distorting public opinion. Overall, the document analyzes factors that can destabilize democracy and how its principles of individual worth, equality, and opportunity need active protection and defense against these influences.
Citizens, Society and State
This document provides definitions and explanations of key concepts related to citizenship, society, and the state. It defines ethnic identity and national identity, and differentiates between them. Citizenship is defined as an individual's relationship to the state, which can lead to patriotism. Nationalism is differentiated from patriotism. Social cleavages like class, ethnicity, and religion are explained as divisions that impact policymaking. Social movements are defined as organized efforts to create or resist change, while civil society refers to voluntary organizations that allow people to define their own interests outside of the state. The document also briefly discusses global civil society and cosmopolitanism.
Publice option
Public opinion plays an important role in democracy as governmental policies are shaped by the views of the people. Public opinion refers to the general population's thoughts on political issues and events, and represents both majority and minority views. It gives legitimacy to government which must make policies according to public opinion. Key agencies that influence and help form public opinion include family, educational institutions, religion and culture, libraries and literature, political parties, the press, mass media, public platforms, and legislatures.
Social media and counter democracy
This document summarizes Peter Dahlgren's presentation on the contingencies of political participation via social media. Some key points:
1) Dahlgren argues that political participation through social media is shaped by various contingencies including political economy, technology, and socio-cultural patterns. These factors both enable and constrain online participation.
2) He examines how the commercial logic and data collection practices of major tech companies like Google and Facebook can undermine democracy by collecting personal information without transparency and sluicing users towards certain sites.
3) Socio-cultural currents online often promote individualized consumerism and entertainment over political engagement, which can subvert alternative politics and civic participation. Navigating these
