1) The document is a paper submitted by Praful Ghareniya to Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University comparing structuralism and post-structuralism.
2) Structuralism studies how things derive meaning and views reality as having a coherent structure, while post-structuralism sees a difference between ideas and reality and focuses on ambiguity rather than fixed limits.
3) The key differences between structuralism and post-structuralism are theoretical, with structuralism focusing on set limits and its own version of truth while post-structuralism focuses more on the role of the reader/speaker.

Constructivism in Practice and Theory:
Toward a Better Understanding
Abstract
Although constructivism is a concept that has been embraced my many teachers over the past 15 years,
the meanings that are attached to this term are varied and often inadequately understood. Teachers need to
have a sound understanding of what constructivism means to evaluate its promise and to use it
knowledgeably and effectively. This paper explicates some of the theoretical background of
constructivism and then presents a detailed example in which a traditional classroom lesson and a
constructivist version of the same lesson are described and analyzed. Also discussed are pervasive myths
and important instructional issues of this widely advocated and increasingly popular philosophical
framework for teaching across the entire K-12 curriculum.

Introduction
Teachers’ personal theories of learning have long been viewed as having considerable
influence on virtually all aspects of teachers’ decisions about instruction. Not only one’s expectations
for what learning outcomes are to be valued and sought, but also how one plans (i.e., organizes,
structures and sequences) instruction is directly impacted by one’s beliefs about learning. In addition,
teachers’ views of learning guide them as they make decisions about desirable means of
implementing and assessing instruction. It is popular today to speak of paradigm shifts, and certainly
major conceptual changes do occur in virtually all fields of study. Paradigm shifts bring new
perspectives, new conceptualizations and new ways of thinking about a topic, large or small. An
important area of study in the philosophy of science is what is referred to as scientific revolutions.
Two examples from the natural sciences are the dramatic scientific revolution ushered in by
Copernicus’ conception of the relationship between the sun and earth, and the revolutionary
propositions of Darwin’s (though less universally accepted, even today) theory of evolution.
When a novel conception is introduced it always elicits great resistance. Even as a
transformation in general thinking and attitudes develops more support and adherents, there will
continue to be resistance to the challenge to the existing order, the comfortable, existing ways of
viewing the world. For example, the ideas of Galileo and Copernicus were met with disdain, anger
and rejection. But, of course, with time, the established physical order of the universe did become
accepted and the earlier views came to be seen as the quaint notions of an earlier uninformed era.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

approach.

school of thought is one the major driving forces in
philosophy intricately connected with
postmodernism thought.
4. Difference between the structuralism
and post structuralism
Two types of difference
1) Theoretical
2) Practical
5. Structuralism
=>reality and idea
=>coherence
=>focus on set limits
=>own version university truth
=>focus on the monolithic structure
Post structuralism
Difference between ideas and reality
Incoherence
Focus on polysemy
Searching for university truth
Focus more on the reader and speaker
