The document discusses subject teacher education at Tampere University of Technology (TUT) in Finland. It notes that TUT is the only technical university allowed to train subject teachers with an engineering degree in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and information technology. The structure of studies involves students obtaining a bachelor's degree from TUT in their major subject along with basic education studies, then a master's degree including intermediate education studies, allowing them to have both an engineering diploma and teacher qualification. A second part of the document discusses developing university mathematics teaching at TUT, noting issues with some students' basic skills and efforts being made through modified courses, support centers, and research projects testing languaging exercises.

Developing Educational Technology Resources for FacultyKaitlin Walsh
Any college or university, large or small, faces challenges with assisting faculty in their use of educational technology. Faculty often prefer one-on-one sessions with professionals in teaching and learning centers, but doing so often poses significant scheduling challenges and strains available resources. Accordingly, professional staff in the educational technology field often find themselves trying to balance the preferences and needs of faculty against what can be reasonably provided without detracting from other areas of staff responsibility. This session will address these challenges from the perspectives of both a large public institution and a small private institution. Regardless of size, the challenges remain quite similar for both contexts, and incorporating needs assessment and technology usage analytics can go a long way in making decisions. After this session, attendees will leave with new ideas for faculty development along with innovative strategies for incorporating needs assessment and data analytics.

The opportunities for adaptive and personalized learning are promising. The project "Linked Data", which was carried out in 2013, combines the common core curriculum for several subjects, the items from the national final secondary school examinations and its test and item analysis (TIA), and the learning materials from several educational publishers and open educational resources. A web-based tool was developed in which the linked data can be shown graphically in relation to examination scores from students who practice their knowledge and skills on previous examinations. The study examines whether the web-based tool with the linked data results in a) a sufficient overview for the teachers and students of how the students scored, b) if this leads to actions by the teachers to give more personalized and adaptive guidance, and c) if this offers the students support to work independently on their personalized learning path.
Alexey Bakulev: Let students do our job, or how to design esp materials witho...Trendy English
Today, with the continuously growing expansion of English as a lingua franca of professional communication, nearly each and every EFL teacher faces the necessity to teach English for Specific Purposes. Popular, demanded and engaging as it may be, the task tends to appear challenging due to many EFL teachers' low level of expertise in relevant professional fields. In the talk, the speaker focuses on a number of practical tools that may considerably facilitate educational process in the ESP classroom. Special attention is drawn to students' involvement in the selection and/or design of materials and exercises relevant for the course. Students, in fact, assume the role of immediate teaching assistants and are, to the speaker's mind, eligible to undertake the task due to the extensive specialization training they have been experiencing. Through students' engagement not only can teachers accumulate high-quality course input and activities, but also learners' autonomy is seen to advantage through the development of self-study, peer-teaching and peer-assessment skills.

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.

Read| The latest issue of The Challenger is here! We are thrilled to announce that our school paper has qualified for the NATIONAL SCHOOLS PRESS CONFERENCE (NSPC) 2024. Thank you for your unwavering support and trust. Dive into the stories that made us stand out!
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

10. Research project at the
Tampere University of
Technology
• In the Fall 2012 languaging exercises were tested at an
engineering math course at the Tampere University of
Technology (Jussi Kangas, n=229) and in an analysis
course at the University of Turku (Petteri Harjulehto,
n=48)
• The students were given one languaging exercise per
week
• The exercises were handed to the teachers
• At the end of the course a series of questions (16 Likert
scaled and 2 open) were handed to the students to find
out their thoughts and attitudes toward languaging

12. Benefits to use languaging in
mathematics 1
• It will grow student’s own understanding,
because when student is speaking aloud
(or writing) his/her thoughts (s)he has to
first make the process clear to himself
(herself) and after that (s)he can explain it
to companions. A spoken language is a
thought language
9.9.2014 12
13. Benefits to use languaging
in mathematics 2
• The listening companions can reflect their
own thinking to the student’s and perhaps
they change their opinion and at the same
time their mathematical thinking develops.
9.9.2014 13
14. Benefits to use languaging
in mathematics 3
• From the pedagogical point of view when
the student is expressing his/her
mathematical thinking by own words it is
easy for a teacher to evaluate how the
pupil has attached new concepts into
his/her knowledge structure. After hearing
the pupil, the teacher guides them by new
arrangements of teaching if necessary
