Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - As children, we would have spilt glasses of milk, dropped things, and broken things. As children, therefore, we would have developed intuitions about how the world 'works', but we would not necessarily have been able to explain these 'workings'. It would only have been till we entered formal schooling that we would have learned codifications of canon within each respective discipline, and consequently how to articulate the canon to explain the intuition.The preceding example was from the natural sciences, but one could just have easily taken an example from, say, the environmental sciences or from the social sciences. Indeed, much of this book does just that, as it seeks to chart the territory of a new theory of learning around Disciplinary Intuitions.Many of the chapters within draw frequent and explicit linkages to curriculum design, from the premise of the need to go beyond addressing the conceptions of learners, to seeking to understand the substrate upon which these conceptions are founded. The argument is made that this substrate comprises the particular set of lived experiences of each learner, and how - because these lived experiences are as tacit as they are diverse - designing curriculum around misconceptions and preconceptions alone would not lead to enduring understanding from first principles. From this perspective, Disciplinary Intuitions constitute an exciting field at the nexus of learning theories and curriculum design.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This study describes data that was gathered in 2004 from fieldwork conducted by students from four schools in Singapore, around tasks of wayfinding and debate. The fieldwork tasks were designed specifically to permit participants to exercise their powers of observation, as opposed to more traditional tasks of collection of empirical data. To this end, the study was constructed such that students were given opportunities to collaboratively explore and navigate unfamiliar environments using text- and picture-messaging, as well as to engage in debate, and use multimedia evidence recorded in the field to defend their positions both to peers in the field and in the classroom, regarding various issues of concern to these environments, with specific links being made to their studies in geography.The data was used to shed light on those elements in urban and suburban environments which adolescents in Singapore find geographically meaningful, as well as to determine the extent to which such interventions might augment students' spatial intelligence, with a view to informing a more effective geography education programme in schools. The nature of the collaborative discourse which emerged as participants engaged in the intervention was also investigated, using a proprietary taxonomy of discourse types.This thesis is grounded in neo-Vygotskyian socio-cultural activity theory. Primary findings include the suggestion that key elements in adolescents' local environments used to orientate and to convey spatial information are axial lines and buildings. The data also reveals differences between the genders in their preference for text over pictures in conveying such information. Adolescents who are more successful in participating in and applying spatial discourse also tend to exhibit certain habits of mind, such as perseverance, as well as to scaffold their exchanges more. Finally, the study suggests that certain fieldwork interventions can indeed augment spatial intelligence and mapping skills.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume introduces the concept of 'adaptivity' as occurring when, say, individuals cross boundaries. Through illustrations from both formal and informal learning, the book seeks to provide learning designs and frameworks for adaptivity. This book is unique as it ties together: a) social-individual dialectics; and b) adaptive learning as it relates to creativity and imagination. It highlights case studies from social / new media contexts, school learning milieux, and formal and informal situations. It approaches adaptive learning from the perspectives of students, teachers, school leaders, and participants in social media and other digitally mediated environments. The book is a valuable resource for practitioners and academics who are interested in adaptivity as a learning disposition.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book is a sequel to the book 'Fieldwork in Humanities Education in Singapore' (Springer, 2021). It addresses some of the queries raised in response to the first book, on the utility of the physical or face-to-face fieldwork. Combining the opportunities unraveled by new technologies and diverse demands to actualize learning, this book showcases a variety of engagements in virtual fieldwork. These demonstrate current developments in the deployment of fieldwork in teaching and learning in Singapore, as well as discuss pertinent interacting issues in technology that arise. The chapters in this book informs evidence-based recommendations for inter alia the integration of virtual reality (VR) systems into place-based curricula.The drive towards better and more advanced technology is a relentless trend. At the same time, the still evolving nature of frontier technologies and their adoption in the education sector entail a constant re-definition of their primary fields and resulting applications. This book contributes to the discussion and analysis of this ongoing process. This book is a sequel to the book 'Fieldwork in Humanities Education in Singapore' (Springer, 2021).
