Introduction to the work of TGC as part of workshop at Enhancing Fieldwork Learning Showcase Event, 2012
Geography by Adnan Mashokhel
This document provides an overview of human geography. It defines human geography as the study of human activity and how it relates to and is influenced by the earth's surface. It discusses the key branches of human geography such as culture, population, political geography, and economic activities. It also outlines the scope of human geography, noting its focus on human aspects like society, culture, economics as well as qualitative research methods. Overall, the document introduces the key concepts and areas of focus within the field of human geography.
Geography
Geography is the study of the Earth and its features, inhabitants, and phenomena. It can be divided into physical geography, which examines the natural elements of the planet, and human geography, which focuses on how humans impact and are impacted by their environments. Studying geography provides a holistic understanding of our world, helps comprehend global issues and political relationships between regions, and creates well-educated global citizens with valuable critical thinking and research skills applicable to many careers. Overall, geography education helps us better understand our planet and its complex systems.
The city states of greece
The ancient Greek city-states of Sparta and Athens emerged as centers of power due to the mountainous geography of Greece. Sparta developed a strict military society ruled by kings and elders, while Athens gradually transitioned to a democratic system where male citizens could directly participate in governing. Under the leadership of Pericles, Athenian democracy broadened further and Athens became a cultural center, though democracy was still limited. The Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta weakened both cities and marked the decline of Greek dominance. Key Greek contributions to political thought included concepts of direct democracy, participation of citizens in government, and separation of governmental powers.
Major natural regions of the world.
The document describes several different climate regions around the world, including their key characteristics. The hot, wet equatorial region is described as having great temperature uniformity, the heaviest rainfall on the planet, and the densest forests containing the greatest biodiversity. The monsoon region is said to have three distinct seasons and be greatly impacted by the periodic reversal of wind systems. Savanna regions are described as having the tallest grasses, being prone to fires, and containing the greatest variety of large herbivores and carnivores.
An overview of geography
Geography is the oldest of the sciences, studying the Earth and its features, as well as human cultures and settlements. The word geography comes from the Greek words "geo," meaning Earth, and "graphy," meaning writing. Today geography is commonly divided into physical geography, which examines the natural world, and cultural geography, also called human geography, which studies human cultures and activities. Geographers study topics like languages, religions, populations, politics, agriculture, and urban areas to understand their impact on the planet. They provide important analysis for governments and other organizations on issues relating to the environment, development, and more.

Experientialism by Atula Ahuja
Experientialism emerged as a philosophical theory in the 1950s-1980s that maintained personal experience is the principal basis of knowledge. It developed in response to the inadequacies of behaviorism. Major theorists included Dewey, Lewin, Piaget, Kolb, Lakoff, and Johnson. Kolb's experiential learning cycle emphasized a four-stage process: concrete experience, observation/reflection, formation of abstract concepts, testing concepts in new situations. Lakoff and Johnson argued meaning depends on how we frame experiences based on our bodies and social contexts. Experientialism posits that learning occurs best through hands-on experience and reflection rather than passive knowledge transmission. It remains influential in fields like education,
Enhancing generalism in Education
The document discusses enhancing generalism in education through neo-generalist thinking. A neo-generalist is both a specialist and generalist, able to master multiple disciplines and work across domain boundaries. They specialize when needed but also think broadly by considering different perspectives. The document proposes several methods for cultivating neo-generalist thinking in education, such as challenging new experiences, opportunities for practice and reflection, and creative discussion with others. Complex problem solving is recommended using a process that separates the problem from its context, considers multiple perspectives, and shares solutions. Finally, the goal of 21st century learning is outlined as developing people who are skilled, continuous learners, can adapt to change, and participate in collaboration and innovation.
Living Geography Keynote from London
Living Geography is a secondary school geography curriculum that [1] embraces students' own experiences and perspectives, [2] focuses on current and future issues like sustainability and development, and [3] examines both local and global contexts. The study of geography stimulates interest in places, helps understand a complex and changing world, and encourages questioning and critical thinking about issues affecting present and future lives. Fieldwork is an essential element, and geography inspires students to become global citizens by exploring their role and responsibilities locally and globally.
Environmental immersion, slow pedagogy & serendipitous learning
CPD with a difference: spending a weekend immersed in the outdoors: ‘doing fieldwork’, exploring, enquiring, collaborating, reflecting, learning – oh and having lots of fun! We had no set outcomes other than to share, enjoy and provide a space in which creativity might flourish. Find out what we did and how we reflected and learnt.
Risky, edgy teaching
This document outlines 9 lesson ideas presented at a conference on risky teaching. Each idea has an element of risk but also has the potential for great results if successful. The aims are to provide practical ideas that teachers can try in their own classrooms within the next couple weeks. Several of the ideas involve active learning techniques like demonstrations, role plays, guided fantasies and games to more fully engage students. While there are risks, research suggests engagement leads to better behavior, progress and self-esteem for students. The document discusses potential risks and benefits of each approach.
Student centered literacy inservice presentation
This document summarizes a presentation on student-centered literacy and the Daily 5 framework. It discusses:
1. Constructivist learning theory and theorists like Dewey, Montessori, Piaget, and Vygotsky who emphasize interactive, experiential learning.
2. The Daily 5 framework which includes Read to Self, Read to Others, Listen to Reading, Work on Writing, and Work on Words. Research supporting each component is presented.
3. Potential barriers to implementing Daily 5 and strategies for overcoming barriers through group discussion. Participants set goals to apply Daily 5 practices in their own classrooms.
Meaning and nature of leaarning
The document discusses the meaning and nature of learning. It defines learning as a change in behavior resulting from experience. Learning can occur through direct experiences, such as writing by practicing writing, or vicariously by observing others. The document outlines several definitions of learning provided by different scholars and discusses 10 key aspects of the nature of learning, such as learning being universal, continuous, and resulting in a relatively permanent change in behavior.

Expert islands
The document discusses the concept of "islands of expertise", where individuals can develop deep understanding of topics they are interested in through social and cognitive processes. It describes how knowledge is constructed over multiple informal activities like conversations. This knowledge building occurs within a social context, with support from others. Over time, individual islands of expertise can connect to form an "archipelago" of related conceptual knowledge across different domains. The document provides examples of how a child and parent might collaboratively build knowledge about vehicles or cooking through their discussions. It suggests educators can help students develop expertise by structuring learning as a social process where novices work with experts in modeling deeper understanding.
Scaffolding
The document discusses scaffolding language instruction. It begins with an agenda and introduction of the presenter. Scaffolding is then defined as temporary support that helps students develop new language skills, relating it to Vygotsky's zone of proximal development. An example is given of a father scaffolding his son's storytelling about visiting the zoo. Various scaffolding techniques are presented, including reducing degrees of freedom, message abundance, and joint construction of dialogues. The presentation concludes with a discussion of scaffolding activities teachers can use in the classroom.

PNU CTP Ed 2 Lev Vygotsky
This document summarizes Lev Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development. It discusses five of Vygotsky's main assumptions: (1) complex mental processes begin socially and are gradually internalized; (2) thought and language develop independently before age 2 then become interdependent; (3) adults convey cultural ways of understanding the world to children; (4) children can perform more challenging tasks with assistance; and (5) challenging tasks promote maximum growth. The document also discusses contemporary applications of Vygotsky's ideas like scaffolding, guided participation, apprenticeships, and peer interaction.
UWE Presentation
This document discusses geography education and living geography. It begins by asking why geography is important as one of humanity's big ideas. The author argues that if we didn't have geography as a way to represent and understand the world and human-environment relationships, we would need to invent it. Later, the document discusses how living geography and developing human capabilities through education can enable students to better understand the world, relationships between people and places, and link social, economic and environmental processes. It advocates for geography education that encourages open-ended engagement with global issues and tensions to develop students' capabilities.
Experiential Learning Reflection
This document discusses experiential learning and reflective practice. It defines experiential learning as learning through real-life experiences and reflective practice as analyzing experiences to change perspectives. The document then examines Carl Rogers's approach to experiential learning theory, which views it as equivalent to personal growth through natural human learning tendencies. Finally, it discusses the importance of reflection in understanding the experiential learning process.

'Exploring Everyday Curriculum Influences'..pdf
This document discusses the influences on curriculum development over a geographer's career spanning 31 years in the classroom and leadership roles. It references influential geographers from the past like Norman Graves and "Jammy" Morris who grappled with tensions in the field. It also discusses more recent experiences co-authoring textbooks, blogging, and developing resources to support everyday geography teaching. The document advocates for curriculum as a coherent narrative shaped by educational principles rather than external policy pressures.
Alice Coleman
Alice Coleman was a prominent British geographer who conducted influential land use surveys in the UK during the 1960s. She began her career as a secondary teacher before becoming a professor of geography. Coleman directed the Second Land Utilisation Survey of Britain, which involved 3000 volunteers surveying 90% of England and Wales. Although only 115 map sheets were published from the survey, they provide a valuable historic record of land use and remain a useful educational resource. Coleman questioned contemporary planning approaches and advocated for the importance of visual literacy in geography education.
YGOTY 2023.pptx
The document provides information about the Royal Geographical Society's Young Geographer of the Year Competition 2023. Students are asked to create a blueprint or plan addressing two geographical issues related to problems such as food/energy sustainability, water security, urbanization, and more as they will exist in 2050. Entries can be posters for key stages 2-4 or other formats for key stage 5. Posters should include annotated maps, images and diagrams to explain the problems and proposed solutions. Last year's winning entries are provided as examples of quality. Suggested issues, formats, and resources are provided to help students develop innovative and realistic blueprints for the future.
Coronation Weather Forecast
The document discusses various elements of the Queen's coronation weekend that could be impacted by different weather types, including wet weather, windy weather, fog, cold temperatures, and an actual weather forecast. Elements that may be affected are people camping out overnight along the procession route, drones getting aerial footage, people standing to watch the procession for long periods, people and horses in the procession, guests arriving in fancy clothing, the outdoor service and procession, gun salutes in Hyde Park, the coronation procession returning to Buckingham Palace, people taking photos, a royal flypast, and outdoor parties and picnics. The actual forecast predicts a cloudy and wet day in many areas with showers, including London
Geography for Comic Effect
Dr. Gemma Sou gave a presentation on using comics to communicate geographic research findings. She discussed how comics can represent different experiences and perspectives through fictionalized characters and storytelling. Sou explained her process for developing comics, which includes deciding what to communicate based on the audience, writing scripts, working iteratively with artists, and seeking feedback. Comics allow researchers to visualize alternative futures, histories, and intangible experiences. Sou argued that comics are an accessible way to engage different audiences and challenge stereotypes. The presentation concluded with a discussion of examples of geographic comics and their educational uses.
Book Club Discussion Prompts
The document discusses borders and how they are commonly perceived, suggesting that borders represent interaction and cultural exchange rather than exclusion, are fluid rather than fixed, and indicate insecurity rather than security. It prompts considering the borders young people cross daily that could be used to discuss this concept and how borders could be integrated into or made a separate topic of discussion in teaching.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
Wound healing PPT
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.

The word “experience” shares a common root (per) with “experiment,” “expert,” and “perilous.” To experience in the active sense requires that one venture forth into the unfamiliar and experience with the elusive and the uncertain. To become an expert one must dare to confront the perils of the new.” Yi-Fu Tuan 1977
