Why Teach Math/Science?
Multicultural Answers:
Use knowledge to make the world a better place
Teach basic, functional skills as well as important themes like conservation; health; wealth distribution; voting…
Research has demonstrated male dominance and cross cultural under-representation in math/ science fields (at both school and societal levels)
Why Math and Science
“Today, I want to argue, the most urgent social issue affecting poor people and people of color is economic access. In today’s world, economic access and full citizenship depend crucially on math and science literacy.”
Bob Moses, Civil Rights Activist and Found of The Algebra Project
Radical Equations: Math Literacy and Civil Rights, p. 5
Indicators of Social Inequity Related to Science & Math Education
Professions that draw highest salaries tend to emphasize math and science
These fields tend to be segregated by race and gender
Patterns of segregation by sex and race can be viewed in patterns of enrollment in math & science in K-12 system
Patterns of racial and gender homogeneity also evident in representation in illustration and content of science & math textbooks
Failure to engage all students undermine their potential and future lifestyles/chances.
What Do We Want To Achieve in Math/ Science Education?
Multicultural Answers:
Critical (reflective) math and science literacy
Access to high levels of math/ science literacy for all students
Understanding how math & science are used in daily contexts
Understanding the political context of math and science (examples: racist theories of intelligence; use of statistics to support diverse positions)
Ensure not only functional levels of science & math literacy, but also CRITICAL science & math literacy
Traditional Answers:
Mastery of selected skills and knowledge of selected “facts”
Stratification of curriculum (tracking)
Content Concerns
Multicultural Answers:
Recognizes that Math and Science are not “culture-free”
Many cultures have contributed to our knowledge of Math and Science
Current uses of mathematics/ science in society (social issues as math/ science problems)
Emphasizes process (DOING a problem), not just product (getting the CORRECT answer)
Traditional Answers:
Claims that Math/ science are “universal”, culture-free subjects
Math and science are “objective” and, therefore, bias-free
Math and science problems have one right answer

Answer the following questions. Your instructor will use these answers to evaluate the critical elements for Project 2.
1. Why did you select your news story? I selected the news story because I thought it was interesting
2. What about the story makes it interesting to you both personally and scientifically? Personally, I thought it was interesting to read on how big Tobacco owners have tried to manipulate information for consumers. Scientifically I thought it was interesting to learn on what the effects of smoking and second hand smoking have on people
3. What did you already know about the topic before selecting the news story? What opinions or assumptions had you made about it? I already know that smoking was bad for you and that second-hand smoking is just as bad. I also knew that tobacco owners have tried ways to manipulate the public to keep their interests with Tabaco products
4. Which concepts covered in the course relate to your news story? I don’t any concepts relate to my news story except for research my story has to do with space and the ninth planet
5. What question do you have about the topic in the news story? How many hours of second hand smoke would a person need to experience in a lifetime before contracting some kind of cardiovascular disease
6. Why would this question be important to a natural scientist? It would be the study humans
SCI 100 Project 3 Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
There are three projects for this course. In Project 1, you began your exploration of a natural science topic by selecting a news story and completing a topic
exploration graphic organizer. In Project 2, you continued your analysis of the news story and the natural science topic and ultimately developed a question that,
as a natural scientist, you would like to study. In Project 3, you will develop a presentation that discusses why your question is important and the value of
studying the natural sciences.
Project 3 will assess the following course outcomes, which you will focus on throughout Themes 3 and 4:
Investigate major developments in the natural sciences for informing critical questions that drive scientific inquiry
Articulate the value of the natural sciences for their impact on contemporary issues
Prompt
Using the question that you posed in Project 2, explain why the answer is important for understanding yourself, other people, and the world around you. In
addition, you will discuss how the natural sciences have developed to help us answer these important questions. Your presentation should include speaker notes
so that your instructor knows what you would be saying if you were actually giving the presentation. The critical elements of this project will be evaluated by the
information in your presentation. Be sure your actual question is apparent in the presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements must b.

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.

TECHNOLOGY IN THE EFL LEARNING
Effective use of ICT in English lessons offers the potential to transform teaching and learning.
An appropriate application of ICT can provide the students with opportunities to use their
skills to assists and progress their learning in English.
The ICT used to develop this syllabus include the use of data show in class to present Power
11. Point Presentations, movies, video-audio aids and music. In addition the students will use My
Top Notch Lab http://www.myenglishlab.com/courses-top-notch-2nd.html in order to
perform follow up activities on-line, which will help them to reinforce the content studied un
class and self- follow up their progress.
RESEARCH IN THE EFL LEARNING
Research plays an important part in the process of learning because through it students have
the tools to develop different skills. Among these skills we have reading for the gist, skimming,
scanning; analyzing, summarizing and making their own conclusions. Besides, students are
able to give opinions and learn about the world we live in.
Through Topic based research students will find out information related to the topics studied
in this syllabus.

34. TRANSGENIC FOODS
Transgenics foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms.
transgenics foods are genetically modified by introducing changes in their DNA by
genetic engineering, unlike similar food that has been genetically modified, through
selective breeding (cultivation of plants and animals) or genetic mutations.
http://nutricionysalud.org.es/alimentos-transgenicos
With better and more food nutrients. Best tasting products created. Better adaptation
of plants to more deplorable living conditions.Increased food production with a
substantial saving of resources. Acceleration in the growth of plants and animals.
Best features of the food produced when cooking.
http://www.mipielsana.com/alimentos-transgenicos/
Transgenics food may present significant risks of allergy for people, according to
Brown University. Genetic modification is often not original mixture or added to the
plant or animal proteins, causing new allergic reactions in the human body. In some
cases, the proteins of an organism to which you are allergic can be added to a body
to which you were not allergic originally experienced the same reaction leading to the
first body.
http://www.livestrong.com/es/ventajas-desventajas-alimentos-lista_21934/
The current food situation worldwide has put back on the table to transgenics food as
a possible solution to mitigate the reduction of food reserves to cope with the effects
of climate change and to reduce food prices among other advantages . These are
some of the statements made experts in the field, in short, it seems to be that
transgenics foods would be an effective technological solution.
