Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position
An overview of the positive role of anxiety, and how the work of modern European philosophers can inform a unique approach to helping people face up to, and therefore work through, their fear of fear
It's best to avoid anxiety, or is it? In this presentation, originally given in September 2010 at the Vingsted conference centre in Denmark, Professor Emmy van Deurzen, from the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, draws on a philosophical tradition and her own experience as a psychotherapist, to show when anxiety can be a guide to what needs to be fixed in one's life to reach greater wellbeing.
Lecture on influential conceptions of consciousness in psychology, social psychology and sociology and their relationship to ideas about identity and self.

“Together We
Construct Our
Worlds”
P5-12
Since what we
consider real is
socially
constructed,
what makes
people agree it
is real.
For example:
Before we
know tree is
tree. What
makes people
believe it is
tree?
Observation Gergen argues the most important means
of reality maintenance is conversation. It
is through conversation that we create
social common sense, which is also what
makes our world today. For example, if we
do not agree on trees as trees, then, there
will be no trees.
Social Origins of Good and Real:
• The ways in which we understand the
world is not required by “what there is.”
• The ways in which we describe and
explain the world are the outcomes of
relationship.
• Constructions gain their significance
from social utility.
• Values are created and sustained within
forms of life (including science).
If everything we
consider real is
socially
constructed, then
nothing is real
unless people
agree that it is.
Social
Convention : are
those arbitrary rules
and norms
governing the
countless behaviors
all of us engage in
every day without
necessarily thinking
about them, from
shaking hands when
greeting someone to
driving on the right
side of the road.
Social Utility :
is a service, or
characteristic, that
benefits the
majority of
population of any
given society.

• This article introduce the debate of
nature versus nurture focusing on human
development and individuals’
consequent abilities and characteristics.
• The author of shows a couple studies
that is limited to the importance of
neural plasticity during primary or
children socialization.
• The author is proven that neural
plasticity of human brain are the
foundation of child development. It is
what shapes the child’s personality and
abilities.
• However, socialization/experience
shapes biological functioning. In another
word, experience is what shapes the
neural circuitry of the human brain and
sustain it.
Humans have

What is some
downside when.
In this module, you will journey to the very heart of this course: Philosophy as a subject presents various philosophers offering multiple perspectives on just about any topic including the self. Philosophically, discussion of the self is a basic search for meaning and purpose in life. Determination, rationalization, and identification of the self-set the direction from which an individual travel to fulfill his or her purpose in life. The inability to define oneself leads to a lot of contradictions within the self later on; hence, it is one of the many imperatives in life to know oneself and to go on with the business of leading a life charted by oneself.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

*Structural Existential Analysis is a method for research and for
systematically tracking of clients’ or personal worldview, state of
mind, way of being and current position in the world.
*It is based on the work of many existential thinkers, including the

4. SEA Methods in practice
Many existential practitioners
have sought to establish
systematic ways of understanding
clients’ predicaments in a
structural and systematic way,
including the following:
6. ORIGIN OF THE METHOD:
HUSSERL’S
PHENOMENOLOGY
It was Edmund Husserl who devised an alternative to the
positivistic stance of established scientific methods and who
showed how phenomenology was a more appropriate scientific
method to systematically and accurately observe and record
evidence in the human sciences.
Copyright: Emmy van Deurzen, 2019.
7. Edmund Husserl
1859-1938
• Phenomenology
• Wesenschau: to things themselves.
• Intentionality (Franz Brentano).
• Intuition:question natural attitude.
• Knowledge begins with experience.
• Bracketing assumptions.
Copyright: Emmy van Deurzen,
2019.
8. Assumptions and prejudice
• We are always making sense of the world,
we can never be free of our assumptions.
• In order to get a more accurate picture of the
world, we need to understand how we make
sense of it.
• By attending – just noticing, describing – not
explaining, and not pre-judging, we can get a
better idea of our assumptions.
• A phenomenological research project is a
disciplined investigation into reality as it is
experienced.
Copyright: Emmy van Deurzen,
2019.
9. The Phenomenological Method consists of
several reductions
I. Phenomenological reduction
• In relation to the Noesis or cogitatio: the
process of consciousness
II. Eidetic reduction
• In relation to the Noema or cogitationes: the
objects of consciousness
III. Transcendental reduction
• In relation to the Cogito or Nous: the subject of
consciousnessCopyright: Emmy van Deurzen,
2019.
10. Intentionality is the basis of phenomenological understanding:
consciousness requires a subject, a process and an object. We cannot
understand anything without these three linked elements. But we can
understand each in their own right, separately to take awareness of our
intentionality in a systematic way.
• Cogito(subject):transcendental reduction
• Noesis, cogitatio (process):phenomenological
reduction
• Noema cogitationes (object):eidetic reduction
Copyright: Emmy van Deurzen,
2019.
11. When interviewing as part of
therapy or research
Copyright: Emmy van Deurzen, 2019.
• We apply the three reductions
systematically to our interaction and our
observations of this interaction, in order to
set aside prejudice, presumptions and
bias.
• We take care to be observant of bias in
both ourselves and others and to bracket
it.
12. I. Phenomenological reduction
1. Noesis, cogitatio or process of intentionality.
2. Epoche: suspend your assumptions about what is happening.
3. Description: invite narrative instead of explanation or
interpretation .
4. Horizontalization: be aware of the limit and context of our
observations.
5. Equalization: initially accord equal importance to everything in
sight.
6. Verification: don’t jump to conclusions but check again and
again that you are processing things correctly.
Copyright: Emmy van Deurzen,
2019.
13. II. Eidetic Reduction
1. Noema, cogitationes: this is about the object of our
observation.
2. Abschattungen: each object comes to us in various
profiles, various adumbrations, facets or aspects. We
need to check we are not eliminating or ignoring some.
3. Wesenschau: we look for essences directly: aiming to
grasp what is really the case, rather than how it seems.
4. Genetic constitution (vs. static): bear in mind everything
is in movement and changes dynamically: we only really
know something when we see it changing.
5. Universals beyond the properties: ultimately we seek to
unite all aspects to come together in an infinite manner.
Copyright: Emmy van Deurzen,
2019.
14. III. Transcendental reduction
– 1. Cogito or nous: this is the thinking self, the subject of
intentionality.
– 2. Transcendental ego: we seek to go beyond the personal ego
towards a pure observing ego.
– 3. Solipsism overcome: this unites us as we go beyond
ourselves and connect in intersubjectivity.
– 4. Horizon of intentionality: but there is still a limit to what we can
see from where we stand: know this limit.
– 5. Self as point zero: be aware your vision always comes from
the centre of your own world.
– 4. Transcendental inter-subjectivity: seek to connect your
perceptions with those of others: interactive checking of truth.
Copyright: Emmy van Deurzen,
2019.
15. Work with bias is the essence of
phenomenological observation.
∀ Become aware of bias in lots of shapes and forms:
Personal outlook,
Assumptions,
Beliefs,
Prejudice,
Blind spots.
Both in yourself as researcher and
in co-researchers.
Bias is your edge: use it!

19. A structural existential analysis uses the
phenomenological method to consider:
• The structure of the world in space, using
the four dimensions: physical, social,
personal and spiritual: four worlds model
• The structure of time: past, present, future
and eternity: dialectic of time
• The structure of intentionality, movement,
emotions and values: emotional compass
• The structure of beliefs and worldviews:

24. Spiritual:
Integrate what has happened in world view
Improve rather than give up values, beliefs, purpose, meaning.
Stick with what is true but transcend values.
Personal:
Allow the event to strengthen your character
Express thoughts and memories. Regain a sense of freedom in relation to adversity.
Learn to yield as well as to be resolute.
Social:
Seek to go beyond hateful and destructive relations by isolation and avoidance till
Reconciliation is possible. Seek belonging with like minded allies.
Communicate your emotions without reproach, resentment, bitterness.
Physical:
Seek safety when under threat.
Trust and heed sensations of stress. Find natural environment that can soothe as
well as expand your horizons.
