English | ISBN: 1443893897 | 2017 | 288 pages | PDF | 994 KB
The current era, the age of knowledge and accelerated technological development, is characterized by the rapid pace of occurrences that impact all areas of life, including education. The scope and availability of information challenge everyone seeking to engage in meaningful learning that combines existing knowledge and the creation of new insights. However, despite the easy availability of, and access to, information, misconceptions in science and mathematics remain firmly rooted, with learners providing incorrect responses, often given instantly and based on their own intuition. How does giving an immediate, intuitive response impact its quality? What are the features of an intuitive response? How is this related to misconceptions? How does this change the role of the teacher in structuring the knowledge of learners who are incessantly bombarded with vast amounts of technology and knowledge? And how can misconceptions help us understand? Based on comprehensive research, combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies, this book explains how misconceptions can contribute to the understanding of learnerselementary and middle school students and pre-service teachers majoring in science and mathematics. The books chapters follow the aha moments that participants in the study experienced: when the learners understood the source of their own incorrect response, when a sense of spontaneous and authentic empathy was evoked among pre-service teachers in wake of their experience with an incorrect response of their own, and when the researcher rediscovered that the chief role of the teacher in leading a meaningful process of creating knowledge is basedtoday more than everon human interaction, involvement, engagement and empathy, affective features that are crucial for the significant process of creating knowledge.

Free Download Knowledge, Literacy, and Elementary Education in the Old Babylonian Period by Robert Middeke-Conlin
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 159 Pages | ISBN : 3031452259 | 9.5 MB
This book examines education as a means to explore knowledge and literacy in the Old Babylonian period. It further employs a new method to research these topics. Contrary to numerous existing studies on the subject, the author examines elementary education globally, that is, in pursuit of Old Babylonian education in its entirety. Typically, education is examined in a piecemeal fashion. It's as if education centered on lexicography alone or mathematics alone. This work encompasses a view about educational content and knowledge systems, as opposed to only specific aspects or branches of them. In doing so, a characterization of institution and society is made possible allowing the work to open new general perspectives on Mesopotamian knowledge, literacy, and education.

Free Download Jocey Quinn, "Invisible Education "
English | ISBN: 1032021098 | 2023 | 128 pages | EPUB, PDF | 3 MB + 20 MB
This original and challenging book introduces the ground-breaking concept of 'invisible education', theorising it with critical posthuman concepts and demonstrating it through a wide range of empirical research. Invisible education is the learning that happens in everyday life: it is invisible because it is purposively ignored and devalued, and it is education because it is powerful and formative. Far from being marginal, this is where the future is being formed. The book challenges the feel-good fiction of social mobility through formal education, replacing it with the new concept of future mutabilities, shaped through invisible education. The book is the first to bring together lifelong learning and critical posthumanism and does so in ways that are mutually illuminating. The book draws on a wide range of funded empirical research on invisible education: exploring landscapes, animals and things (material, immaterial and uncanny), activism, volunteering and work, home lives and care, and global contexts of conflict. It charts how invisible education plays a crucial role in the lives of marginalised people, including young people, activists, postverbal people, carers, women escaping domestic abuse and many others. Combining posthuman ideas with memoir, poetry, art and fiction, it is creative, intellectually stimulating and readable.
