Session 7 Initiatives - Resistance Or Reproduction Aftereddrnb
The document discusses several initiatives aimed at improving education in different contexts and communities, as well as some unintended consequences that arose. It notes how efforts to strengthen "custom" or kastom among the Kwaio people in Solomon Islands ended up incorporating the researcher into their project, rather than vice versa. Another case discusses how a program in Ladakh aimed at improving education outcomes instead led many parents to choose private schooling, reducing social cohesion. A Tibetan nomadic education program is described, but concerns are raised about very young children being left at remote schools for long periods with few carers. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding historical contexts, unintended consequences, and involving all stakeholders when developing education initiatives.
WOT provides community-powered tools that rate websites to boost trust on the web. It uses community ratings to assess websites and provide a traffic light system rating for trustworthiness. Studies have shown that sites rated as more trustworthy by WOT can increase online sales by 11-34% and reduce abandoned shopping carts. The WOT Trust Seal can improve the general trustworthiness of a website by 86% according to surveys.
This document provides an overview of basic PowerPoint functions including how to add slides, change slide backgrounds and layouts, insert word art, pictures, tables, and graphics. It also describes how to format objects and add simple animations by selecting shapes on slides and using animation tools to change colors and set entry effects in a specified order.
The document provides instructions for accessing and using the Tumblebooks library, starting with clicking on the yellow button, then signing in with the provided username and password, selecting the red button, choosing a book by clicking on its cover, and remembering to click the exit button when finished.
To insert pictures from the internet into PowerPoint: search for the desired image on Google and select "Images", choose a picture and save it to your desktop, then drag the picture from your desktop into the PowerPoint file. The document provides example topics to search for images like video games, music instruments, and sports that could be inserted into a PowerPoint presentation.
This document outlines the agenda and assignments for a course on modeling quality education for diverse learners. It discusses having students introduce a case study on a specific group of learners, considering alternative declarations of educational needs and goals. It also compares two models of education and has students draft their own model for their case study group. Students will prepare a critique of an existing educational initiative and do a literature review on a relevant topic. Their final assignment is to build an argument for what quality education would mean in a specific context for their case study group.
Session 8 Research Into Policy And Practice After Classeddrnb
The document discusses a research program called EdQual that aims to generate knowledge to improve education quality in low-income countries. It is a consortium of several universities in Africa and the UK funded by DFID. There are 5 large projects related to curriculum change, ICTs, language/literacy, leadership/management, and school effectiveness. One focus is on the role of head teachers in promoting gender equity and a child-friendly environment. Challenges for head teachers in disadvantaged communities include a lack of training. The research also looks at targeting interventions toward disadvantaged students based on factors like socioeconomics, gender, disability. A TV drama in Kenya aims to disseminate research findings to the public.
The document discusses key topics around quality, equality, and governance in education from several perspectives:
1) How current neoliberal governance models impact education quality and whether they increase quality for all.
2) What quality indicators are currently used in measuring education and what alternative indicators could provide different understandings.
3) An analysis of the state of global education from a social cohesion viewpoint and addressing inequalities faced by persistent identity groups.
This session focuses on critiquing and creating alternatives to existing education frameworks through various theoretical lenses. Students will review tools like discourse analysis, standpoint theory, and oppositional postmodernism to interrogate narratives of educational oppression and failures. They will examine case studies from personal narratives and propose alternative solutions. The goal is to understand how individuals are impacted by dominant ideas and policies, and to imagine more equitable alternatives through creativity.
Session IV Critical Tools For Deconstructing The Quality Agendaeddrnb
The document discusses several theoretical tools for critiquing discourses around quality and social change, including post-structuralist ideas from Michel Foucault on how power operates through discourse to construct social realities. It also discusses standpoint theory and the idea that oppressed groups can develop critical insights by understanding how the world is structured from their situated perspectives. Finally, it discusses Boaventura de Sousa Santos' concept of an "sociology of absences" which examines how certain alternatives are actively produced as non-existent through dominant logics and rationalities.
The document contains information about YAPC::TV, including links to videos from past YAPC conferences and details on embedding a video player and video metadata in JSON and XML formats. Specifically, it provides links to video archives from past Perl conferences, URLs for the YAPC::TV RSS feeds in English and Russian, an example of a video embed code, and an example JSON response for a video. It also lists the author of the video as Roman Belikin and includes their name and contact information in Russian at the end.
This document provides a brief history of robots from ancient times to the present. It notes some of the earliest depictions and concepts of robots in Greek mythology in 700 BC, their naming and exploration in medieval times by philosophers like Albertus Magnus, pioneering designs by DaVinci in 1450, and the beginning of science fiction genres depicting robots in the 18th-19th centuries. Key developments included the coining of the term "robot" in a 1921 play, depictions in films like Metropolis in 1927, optimism regarding their potential in the 1940s, founding concepts by Asimov and Turing in the 1950s, and increasing realism and roles and in science fiction through the 1960s-2000s.
Dams, social studies presentation term 2 2013Parnell_School
Hydroelectricity is produced by passing water through turbines connected to generators in hydroelectric dams. The turbines are turned by water flowing through from rivers, turning magnets that produce electricity in copper coils. Half the world's big rivers have been dammed for hydro production. However, dam construction can flood villages and farmland, disrupt fish migration, cause earthquakes by adding pressure to fault lines, and impact plant and fish life. Alternatives to dams such as solar and wind could produce electricity without these issues.
A criatividade está presente em todas as etapas do processo de produção. A criatividade pode ser encontrada na história, astronomia, medicina e outras áreas. A criatividade envolve indefinição e flutuação na mente. Grandes designers como Starck criaram trabalhos originais e diferenciados que se tornaram referências em suas áreas.
