Several examples are given of writing learning objectives at different cognitive levels.
Monitoring student learning in the classroomcik noorlyda
This document discusses 3 key points about monitoring student learning in the classroom:
1. Redirection and probing of student responses is positively related to achievement when focused on accuracy and clarity, but unrelated when vague or critical.
2. Acknowledging correct student responses positively impacts achievement.
3. Praise is effective when used sparingly, directly related to responses, and sincere, but general praise is less effective.
The document discusses different types of feedback and their effectiveness. It summarizes a study that found students who received only comment feedback made more progress than those who received grades/marks alone or with comments. Comments alone avoided issues like students focusing on grades over learning or becoming complacent/demoralized by grades. Studies show comment-only feedback initially, with marks later, increases motivation and attainment by focusing students on improving versus comparing to others. The goal should be a culture where all students can succeed by building on their work, not competing with peers.

This document discusses planning and assessment for learning. It provides guidance on developing lesson plans, formative assessment strategies, and the role of assessment for learning. The key elements discussed include setting learning objectives, organizing learning activities, considering resources and grouping, using formative assessment strategies during and after lessons, and evaluating lessons to inform future planning. The document emphasizes that planning, teaching and assessment should be cyclic and integrated to best support student learning.
Transforming assessments from summative (AOL) to formative (AFL) supports individual learning. AFL focuses on providing ongoing feedback to help students improve, while AOL only shows current achievement levels. Effective AFL involves techniques like diagnostic testing, feedback, peer teaching, and rubrics to engage students and help teachers identify areas of weakness. When implemented properly in the classroom, AFL benefits learning by empowering students and improving understanding, confidence, and responsibility for their own progress.
The backward design model comprises three stages:
I. Identify desired results
II. Determine acceptable evidence
III. Plan learning experiences and instruction. Once desired results and evidence are determined, a lesson plan can be developed to help students reach the objectives. Wiggins and McTighe's "WHERE" approach is used in planning instruction and experiences.
This document discusses assessment strategies for measuring student learning. It defines formative assessment as assessment for learning that occurs during the learning process and provides immediate feedback, while summative assessment is assessment of learning that occurs after instruction to evaluate student work. Examples of formative strategies include brainstorming, diagnostic questions, and minute papers. Examples of summative strategies include exams, essays, presentations and portfolios. The document also provides details on specific strategies like case studies, statement correction, and oral exams outlining their benefits and disadvantages.

Saishoku and culture shock vegetarianism in japan special features - japaneseWei Chiao Kuo
Global vegetarianism and veganism are increasing due to health, environmental, and animal welfare concerns. In Japan, the number of vegetarians and vegans is also growing, though still small compared to other countries. While more Japanese restaurants offer meat-free options, vegetarian dining in Japan can be challenging due to ingredients like fish stock and animal fats used in many dishes. However, Buddhist temple cuisine, convenience store offerings, and restaurants catering to health-conscious customers provide viable meat-free options. With Japan preparing to welcome many foreign tourists to the 2020 Olympics, the availability of vegetarian food is likely to continue improving.
Adam Smith believed that the division of labor leads to greater productivity and wealth. As the market size increases, labor can be more specialized. People act in rational self-interest, which contributes to the greater social good through market exchanges. Marx focused on social relations of production and argued that capitalism leads to the exploitation of workers as they do not receive the full value of their labor. He believed history moves towards a violent proletariat revolution against capitalists and the establishment of a communist system without private property.

Chr. Hansen had issues with slow temperature sensor response times and frequent calibrations that took too long, interrupting their sterilization process. They replaced the sensors with thin-film platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) that responded 3.5 seconds faster and were more accurate. The compact size of the RTDs allowed them to fit into small thermowells without slowing response time. The RTDs also had a quick release mechanism, allowing calibration to be completed in under 5 minutes instead of 45 minutes, increasing process uptime and throughput. The new sensors provided faster, more accurate temperature measurements without process interruptions, improving plant efficiency.
1) Advances in radar level measurement technologies like 80-GHz radar, guided wave radar, and onboard algorithms are enabling more accurate level measurement of difficult substances.
2) Companies are using these technologies to gain efficiency through remote monitoring, reduce costs through wireless communication, and improve safety with redundant level switches.
3) Radar level measurement helps optimize operations for non-traditional applications like biomass storage and predicts process upsets to maintain level control.
The document discusses various state-of-the-art sensors used to detect oil in or on water, including laser nephelometers, capacitance sensors, ultraviolet radiation detectors, and radiofrequency sensors. It describes how each sensor type is able to distinguish between oil and water based on differences in their physical properties. The document also mentions new profiling technologies like multiple density array systems that can measure emulsion layers and density profiles inside separator vessels.
Eating only meat would likely cause health issues due to lack of vitamin C and fiber. Without vitamin C, one could develop scurvy and gum disease. Without fiber, constipation would be a problem. However, some groups like the Inuit traditionally ate meat-heavy diets and thrived by eating the whole animal, including raw meat and organ meats containing vitamin C and fiber. While their diets were historically healthy, today's meat-focused diets cut out necessary nutrients and could lead to cardiac, kidney, bone, and liver problems according to the American Heart Association.
Changing a corporate safety culture requires systemic engagement from leadership down to employees and can't be accomplished through rhetoric alone. Leaders who try to change the culture solely on their own or without input from others will only create compliance, not real culture change. The article recommends complementing the existing culture rather than trying to overhaul it. It suggests identifying informal influencers, having safety conversations to understand subcultures, and instilling safety as a value through behaviors modeled by leaders and repeated by all employees. Focus on a few key behaviors at a time that fit the current culture and reinforce them until they become routine.
Rockline Industries, a manufacturer of paper products, replaced their metal halide lighting fixtures with LED fixtures to reduce energy consumption and costs. The LED conversion reduced energy use per fixture from 400 watts to 150 watts, cutting costs significantly. It also improved light quality and reduced maintenance needs. This qualified Rockline for $48,000 in energy rebates. Employees also appreciate the cooler and brighter light from the LEDs.
Before starting any pump, check that all valves are in the correct position with the intended flow path open and other valves like drains and vents closed. If starting remotely, ensure the pump is ready for operation or have someone check it. Include key steps for safe pump operation, like valve positions, in procedures and checklists.
The document discusses a picture showing a group of unlabeled pumps that look identical. It notes that lack of labeling can pose a safety risk, and provides examples of confusing signs and labels from industrial plants. It encourages ensuring equipment is clearly labeled using consistent identification across documentation to avoid confusion and risks from working on the wrong equipment.
The document summarizes key concepts from Peter Senge's book "The Fifth Discipline" regarding learning organizations. It describes the five disciplines that Senge proposes are essential for organizations to become true "learning organizations": personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, team learning, and systems thinking. For each discipline, it provides an overview of the core ideas and how they contribute to building an organization's capacity for continuous learning and improvement.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
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.

to do in a tutoring/mentoring session?
• What do you think your students need you
to do in a tutoring session?
3. Help students identify and close “the gap”
Passive learners current performance
Active learners desired performance
Help Students Make the Transition
from Passive to Active Learners!

12. How’d They Do It?
They became expert, strategic learners
by using metacognition!
They studied to LEARN,
not just to make the grade!
13. Metacognition*
The ability to:
• think about one’s own thinking
• be consciously aware of oneself as a problem
solver
• monitor and control one’s mental processing
(e.g. “Am I understanding this material?”)
• accurately judge one’s level of learning
*Flavell, J. H. (1976). Metacognitive aspects of problem
solving. In L. B. Resnick (Ed.), The nature of intelligence
(pp.231-236). Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum
20. What were two major differences
between the first attempt
and the second attempt?
21. 1. We knew what the task was
2. We knew how the information
was organized
22. Turning Your Students into
Efficient, Expert Learners
• Have them constantly ask “why” and “what if”
questions
• Have them test their understanding by verbalizing or
writing about concepts, and practicing retrieval of
information during the tutoring session
• Have them move their activities higher on the
Bloom’s taxonomy scale by comparing and
contrasting, thinking of analogies, thinking of new
pathways, etc.

The Study Cycle
1 Set a Goal (1-2 min) Decide what you want to accomplish in your study session
2 Study with Focus (30-50 min) Interact with material- organize, concept map, summarize, process, re-read, fill-in notes,
reflect, etc.
3 Reward Yourself (10-15 min) Take a break– call a friend, play a short game, get a snack
4 Review (5 min) Go over what you just studied
*Intense Study Sessions
Attend
Review
Study
Attend class – GO TO CLASS! Answer and ask questions and take meaningful
notes.
Preview before class – Skim the chapter, note headings and boldface words,
review summaries and chapter objectives, and come up with questions
you’d like the lecture to answer for you.
Review after class – As soon after class as possible, read notes, fill in gaps
and note any questions.
Assess your Learning – Periodically perform reality checks
• Am I using study methods that are effective?
• Do I understand the material enough to teach it to others?

Assess
Study – Repetition is the key. Ask questions such as ‘why’, ‘how’, and ‘what if’.
• Intense Study Sessions* - 3-5 short study sessions per day
• Weekend Review – Read notes and material from the week to make
connections
29. Why are metacognitive
strategies so important?
They empower students to learn,
even after they’ve been made to
believe they can’t!
They help students develop
a new mindset
30. “…Personally, I am not so good at chemistry and
unfortunately, at this point my grade for that class is
reflecting exactly that. I am emailing you inquiring about
a possibility of you tutoring me. I can even pay you for
tutoring. I need any and all help I can get at this point. I
apologize for the inconvenience. ”

“I made a 68, 50, 50, 87, 87, and a 97 on my final. I ended
up earning a 90 in the course, but I started with a 60. I
think what I did different was make sidenotes in each
chapter and as I progressed onto the next chapter I was
able to refer to these notes. I would say that in
chemistry everything builds from the previous topic”

Destroys motivation to attempt a task
*Martin Seligman and Steven F. Maier
37. The Cure for Learned Helplessness
• Understanding the student’s “explanatory style”
• Changing the negative, self-destructive things
students say to themselves when they fail
• Making the new statements a permanent part of
their explanatory style
• Recognizing that perception of ability has the
most influence on the amount of effort a
student will expend on a task!
38. Tutors can Motivate Students to
Use Metacognitive Strategies!
Strongly encourage them to:
• Consider their goals
• Develop a plan! (e.g. schedule study
appointments with themselves; make a
study bet with friends; devise a new place to
study
• Commit to Three or More Intense Study
Sessions per day (two during daylight
hours)
• Believe in themselves!!!
