Cic presentation final (no video)
This document explores how gender inequalities are portrayed in media and education, and the effects on students. It discusses how gender is a social construct that influences stereotypes. Media plays a role in shaping and reinforcing gender norms. Gender stereotypes have historically limited educational opportunities by emphasizing different futures for boys and girls. More recent research shows that gender stereotypes shaped by media are internalized by young children. While progress has been made, gender stereotypes persist in curricula and continue to influence students' opportunities and choices.
Education
The document discusses how education is a gendered institution that can both positively and negatively influence lives. It explores how teachers' and students' core beliefs and values shape the transmission and acquisition of knowledge. It also examines how public education has historically reinforced stereotypes through hidden curriculums and educational materials. While education also has the potential to challenge cultural stereotypes, the gendering of subjects, sports, and behaviors from a young age influences students' identities and opportunities.
Education
This document summarizes key aspects of education as a gendered institution. It discusses how education historically taught different gender roles, with schools preparing boys for leadership and girls for domestic skills. While access to education has expanded, certain subjects remain gender-typed. The hidden curriculum and classroom practices can still subtly reinforce stereotypes. Single-sex education proposals aim to address issues like underachievement but have limitations and risks essentializing gender differences. Bullying and harassment in schools normalize harmful behaviors and negatively impact many students.

Lizzie
This document discusses the challenges of studying gender in educational institutions. It outlines 12 characteristics of social institutions according to sociologist Patricia Yancey Martin and notes that institutions are complex with contradictory values that influence gender identities. Gender is constructed at both the micro and macro levels simultaneously. Additionally, race, class, and other factors shape learning opportunities. The document advocates for an intersectional approach and emancipatory education to challenge norms and address inequalities.
Educating Girls
1) The document discusses the history of gendered education in America from finishing schools in the 1700s to modern debates around single-sex classrooms. It traces key milestones like the passing of Title IX in 1972 and amendments allowing single-sex classrooms in 2006.
2) While research has found benefits to single-sex environments like increased test scores and confidence for girls, the document argues future efforts must recognize individual needs for both girls and boys rather than a "lowest common denominator."
3) Effectively educating all students requires addressing both challenges like lack of encouragement for girls and role models for boys without fathers, through tailored instruction, validation of effort, and strong community culture in schools.
Cic presentation
This document examines how gender inequalities are portrayed in media and their effect on students' educational opportunities. It discusses how gender is a social construct that influences norms through media portrayal. Gender stereotypes shape and limit educational opportunities by emphasizing different futures for boys and girls. While efforts have been made to appeal to male students, they often alienate others and have little impact. The mass media now educates youth through constant access, influencing their developing values and expectations within education systems. Further work is still needed to change social attitudes and norms influenced by media portrayals of gender.

- Marxists such as Bowles and Gintis see education as reproducing class inequalities by training children for specific roles that maintain the existing class structure. Schools socialize children into accepting their place in the hierarchy through the "hidden curriculum."
- Feminists argue that education historically taught different norms to boys and girls, reproducing gender inequalities and assumptions. It socialized girls to be housewives and boys to have power over
Purpose, History & Policies of Education
This presentation has two main parts to it: introduction to education history and educational policy especially in the context of social equity.
Not separate but not equal
This document discusses racism in education and the impact of social justice. It defines key terms like social justice and racism. It notes that while children are entitled to equal access to quality education, the US has not achieved this in reality. Specifically, it discusses how lower expectations for minority students can negatively impact their opportunities and achievements. It also examines individual and institutional forms of racism in education. The document calls for steps to address problems in the public education system to uphold the intent of desegregation and create an equal system for all students.

Morality as kluge
The document summarizes Daniel Kelly's work on moral intuition and disgust. [1] Kelly argues that disgust is a "kludge" - a hodgepodge of mechanisms cobbled together from bits of mental machinery designed for other purposes. [2] Specifically, he puts forward the "Entanglement Thesis" that disgust emerged from the merging of a poison avoidance system and parasite avoidance system. [3] He also discusses the "Co-Optation Thesis" where disgust was later co-opted by the norm system and ethnic boundary system important for human sociality.
Endangered languages
This document discusses endangered languages and provides examples of languages that are extinct or nearing extinction. It notes that many of the world's smallest languages are disappearing, with estimates that half of the world's approximately 6,000 languages could be extinct within 100 years. Examples are provided of some of the last speakers of languages like Kayardild, Aka-Bo, and various Great Andamanese languages. Factors that endanger languages are discussed, including assimilation, lack of transmission to younger generations, and globalization. Responses to language endangerment include documentation efforts and revitalization programs for languages like Chitimacha and Navajo.
Historical linguistics
The document discusses how languages change over time through natural processes. It notes that after 1,000 years, languages diverge to the point of no longer being mutually intelligible, and after 10,000 years the relationship becomes indistinguishable from unrelated languages. The rate of change varies, but systematic sound changes and borrowing are the main drivers of divergence. The comparative method is used to reconstruct ancestral languages and classify languages into families based on regular sound correspondences.
Somerville
1) Finding a shared ethical framework in our interdependent and pluralistic world is crucial for our survival, not optional.
2) We must use all aspects of human understanding, including science, stories, imagination and moral intuition, to develop a shared sense of ethics.
3) Starting with a shared respect for nature and the innate human moral sense can help build the foundations for a global ethical system focused on our common humanity.
Meme
The document discusses memes as conceptualized by Richard Dawkins as units of cultural transmission or imitation that replicate and evolve through social learning in a similar way that genes replicate and evolve biologically. Key points include:
- Memes include ideas, beliefs, fashion trends, and other cultural phenomena that spread from person to person via imitation.
- Memes operate through natural selection and compete to spread more successfully through populations like genes.
- Religion and religious beliefs can be understood as particularly successful memes that confer advantages to aid their replication such as faith-based thinking and linking altruism to religious affiliation.
The trolley problem
The document discusses four variations of the classic "Trolley Problem" moral dilemma. In each scenario, the reader must make a choice that will directly lead to someone's death or multiple someones' deaths. While the numbers seem to indicate the same utilitarian outcome each time, people's moral instincts tend to view pushing someone in front of a trolley as less permissible than flipping a switch to change the trolley's path. The document questions why our views differ on these cases that have similar utilitarian calculations.
Challengesto piaget
The document discusses different perspectives on cognitive development in infants and children, including Piaget's theory of constructivism, nativism, and domain specificity. It summarizes experimental methods used to study development, such as habituation studies and preferential looking tasks. Key findings are presented showing infants have innate knowledge of objects, including principles of continuity, cohesion and contact.
Endangered languages
The document discusses the threat facing endangered languages around the world. It estimates that as many as half of the approximately 6,000 languages currently spoken may become extinct by the end of the 21st century. Several factors are contributing to this decline, including nation-state building processes, universal education, and the spread of dominant languages like English, French, Spanish, and Arabic. While documentation of endangered languages is important, long-term preservation requires communities where the language is spoken and transmitted between generations.
Parameter setting
The document discusses Universal Grammar and the Principles and Parameters approach to language acquisition. It explains that children are born with innate linguistic knowledge called Universal Grammar that contains principles of language and parameters that can vary between languages. Children use UG to set the parameters of their native language based on the linguistic input they receive, allowing them to acquire language despite the "poverty of the stimulus" in the data.
Sugarand slavery
The document discusses the history and development of sugar production and its connection to slavery. It traces the evolution of sugar cultivation from ancient times through its introduction in Europe via the Crusades. The large-scale plantation system originated in Brazil and spread through the colonization of the Caribbean and Americas. Plantations were labor-intensive and relied heavily on African slaves, who were forcibly transported in large numbers. The slave trade generated significant wealth but also involved immense human suffering. The plantation economy collapsed in the 1800s due to abolitionism, competition from sugar beets, and inefficiencies of the slave system.
Concepts and categories.ppt
1) Concepts are represented in different ways including prototypes, exemplars, and schemas. Prototypes represent concepts as central tendencies while exemplars represent individual category members.
2) The basic level of categorization, such as chair or dog, provides the optimal balance between predictive power and accuracy. It is also the earliest learned and most natural level of naming.
3) Exemplar models better explain categorization data by accounting for variability and typicality effects compared to prototype models which lose information about individual exemplars.
Early language development
This document discusses early language development in infants and children. It covers prelinguistic communication through babbling, gestures, and pointing that occurs before children start using words. It then examines phonological, lexical, and semantic development as children's vocabularies grow. Some key points discussed include: infants producing prelinguistic vocalizations and gestures between 8-12 months; a noun bias in children's early words across languages; challenges to the noun bias from studies of other languages; and constraints that help children map words to meanings as their vocabularies develop.
Phonetics
The document discusses phonetics and the creation of speech sounds. It explains that speech sounds are created when air from the lungs passes through the vocal tract. The positions of the articulators like the vocal folds, tongue, and lips modify the air to create different speech sounds. It also discusses the source-filter model of speech production and the anatomy of structures involved like the larynx and vocal folds.
Qm for ic
This document provides an introduction to the Quality Matters program and course review rubric. It discusses factors that affect course quality and explains that QM reviews focus on ensuring alignment between course objectives, activities, resources, assessments and technology. The rubric contains 8 general standards and key sections that must be aligned. For a course to meet quality expectations through QM review, it must score a yes on 17 essential standards and earn a minimum of 72 out of 85 total points.
Mindreading
This document provides an overview of theory of mind, including its history, development in children, and relationship to autism. It discusses key findings such as:
- Premack and Woodruff's experiment showing chimpanzees can attribute mental states to humans
- Wimmer and Perner's false belief task showing children develop theory of mind around age 4
- Baron-Cohen's theory that autism involves impairments in the shared attention mechanism module of theory of mind
- Debate around nativist vs. cognitive vs. social interactionist perspectives on the development of theory of mind.
Semantics
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. A semantic theory aims to characterize a speaker's linguistic knowledge, including word meanings, compositional sentence meanings, and how context influences interpretation. However, developing such a theory poses challenges such as avoiding circular definitions, distinguishing linguistic from encyclopedic knowledge, and accounting for individual and contextual variation in meaning. Theories utilize a semantic metalanguage and concepts to characterize core meanings independently of language. They also distinguish semantics from pragmatics, where contextual implications are considered.
Semantics and pragmatics
The document discusses key concepts in pragmatics including context, inference, implicature, speech acts, and Grice's cooperative principle. Context guides pragmatic meaning and inference beyond literal semantics. Speech acts are social actions performed through language that depend on felicity conditions. Grice proposed conversational maxims of quality, quantity, relation, and manner to describe cooperative frameworks underlying conversations. Speakers can flout maxims to generate implicatures for purposes like sarcasm or diplomacy.
Hockett
Charles Hockett identifies 16 design features of human language including vocal production, rapid fading of signals, interchangeability of roles between speakers, ability to perceive and correct errors, biologically trivial signals, semanticity or reference to objects in the world, arbitrariness of signals, discreteness of parts, ability to refer to things not present, productivity or ability to create novel utterances, cultural transmission through learning, duality of patterning, ability to communicate about communication, and learnability of new languages. He analyzes communication systems in other species like bees, monkeys, apes and whales against these design features and finds they lack several features like displacement, productivity and duality of patterning that are central to human language.
E learning buffet
The document discusses eLearning resources available at a community college including a live webinar platform, communication tools, and lecture capture solution. It notes that 183 course sections were offered online or in hybrid format in Fall 2010. Training is available in small groups by appointment on tools like ANGEL, Elluminate, Tegrity, blogs, and wikis. An eLearning handbook provides information on adopting eLearning formats, available tools, course design, and resources.

Editor's Notes
- This is a growing population.
- I know you said no sentences, but I think this works. If you disagree, I’ll change it. I want to make the point here that homeschoolers have HUGE information needs and that one of the most important things we can teach homeschoolers—no matter what we think of homeschooling ourselves—is that the library is a valuable informational resource. I think we need to be concerned about that 22% of homeschoolers who *don’t* report using the library as a primary source of learning materials.
