Exploring Signature Pedagogies: Approaches to Teaching Disciplinary Habits of Mind By Regan A. R. Gurung, Nancy L. Chick, Aeron Haynie, Anthony A. Ciccone 2008 | 339 Pages | ISBN: 1579223079 | PDF | 2 MB From the Foreword“These authors have clearly shown the value in looking for the signature pedagogies of their disciplines. Nothing uncovers hidden assumptions about desired knowledge, skills, and dispositions better than a careful examination of our most cherished practices. The authors inspire specialists in other disciplines to do the same. Furthermore, they invite other colleagues to explore whether relatively new, interdisciplinary fields such as Women’s Studies and Global Studies have, or should have, a signature pedagogy consistent with their understanding of what it means to вЂapprentice’ in these areas.'' -- Anthony A. Ciccone, Senior Scholar and Director, Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.How do individual disciplines foster deep learning, and get students to think like disciplinary experts? With contributions from the sciences, humanities, and the arts, this book critically explores how to best foster student learning within and across the disciplines. This book represents a major advance in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) by moving beyond individual case studies, best practices, and the work of individual scholars, to focus on the unique content and characteristic pedagogies of major disciplines. Each chapter begins by summarizing the SoTL literature on the pedagogies of a specific discipline, and by examining and analyzing its traditional practices, paying particular attention to how faculty evaluate success. Each concludes by the articulating for its discipline the elements of a “signature pedagogy” that will improve teaching and learning, and by offering an agenda for future research.Each chapter explores what the pedagogical literature of the discipline suggests are the optimal ways to teach material in that field, and to verify the resulting learning. Each author is concerned about how to engage students in the ways of knowing, the habits of mind, and the values used by experts in his or her field. Exploring Minecraft: Ethnographies of Play and Creativity by Larissa Hjorth English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 194 Pages | ISBN : 3030599078 | 18.1 MB "Minecraft is undoubtedly one of the most influential games of the past decade. Exploring Minecraft brilliantly situates this multiplatform and multisensory game within today's pervasive play culture, focusing on its role in players' everyday lives across domestic and educational spaces, and across cultural and generational contexts. In times of social distancing, Hjorth, Richardson, Davies, and Balmford make a compelling argument for the significance of social play and creativity in everyday life. An essential resource for gamers, educators, academics, and parents interested in the interconnections between games, education, domestic life, and creative practices." Estimating and Cost Planning Using the New Rules of Measurement by Sean D. C.

Entire solutions of semilinear elliptic equations By Ilya A. Kuzin, Stanislav I. Pohozaev 1997 | 128 Pages | ISBN: 3764353236 | DJVU | 5 MB Semilinear elliptic equations play an important role in many of mathematics and its applications to physics and other sciences. This book presents a wealth of modern methods to solve such equations, including the systematic use of the Pohozaev identities for the description of sharp estimates for radial solutions and the fibring method. Existence results for equations with supercritical growth and non-zero right-hand sides are given. Readers of this exposition will be advanced students and researchers in mathematics, physics and other sciences who want to learn about specific methods to tackle problems involving semilinear elliptic equations.

The Debt Supercycle-when the easily managed, decades-long growth of debt results in a massive sovereign debt and credit crisis-is affecting developed countries around the world, including the United States. For these countries, there are only two options, and neither is good-restructure the debt or reduce it through austerity measures. Endgame details the Debt Supercycle and the sovereign debt crisis, and shows that, while there are no good choices, the worst choice would be to ignore the deleveraging resulting from the credit crisis.
