Such a serious responsibility raises a number of questions: What is knowledge for? What knowledge is important for children to learn? How do we decide what knowledge matters in each school subject? The blurring of distinctions between pedagogy and curriculum, as well as that between experience and knowledge, has resulted in a confusing message for teachers about the part that each plays in the education of children. This book aims to dispel confusion through a robust rationale for what schools should teach, offering key understanding to teachers of the relationship between knowledge and their own pedagogy. This second edition includes new chapters on chemistry, drama, music, and religious education, as well as an updated chapter on biology. A revised introduction reflects on the emerging discourse around decolonizing the curriculum and on the relationship between the knowledge that children encounter at school and in their homes. ![]() What Gardeners Grow by Bloom;Gandyra, Melanie; English | 2023 | ISBN: 0711272905 | 336 pages | True EPUB | 8.73 MB ![]() Bohan Li, "Web and Big dаta: 6th International Joint Conference, APWeb-WAIM 2022, Nanjing, China, November 25-27, 2022, Proceedings, Part III" English | ISBN: 3031252004 | 2023 | 484 pages | PDF | 33 MB This three-volume set, LNCS 13421, 13422 and 13423, constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 6th International Joint Conference, APWeb-WAIM 2022, held in Nanjing, China, in August 2022. ![]() Bohan Li, "Web and Big dаta: 6th International Joint Conference, APWeb-WAIM 2022, Nanjing, China, November 25-27, 2022, Proceedings, Part II" English | ISBN: 3031251970 | 2023 | 578 pages | PDF | 47 MB This three-volume set, LNCS 13421, 13422 and 13423, constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 6th International Joint Conference, APWeb-WAIM 2022, held in Nanjing, China, in August 2022. ![]() Bohan Li, "Web and Big dаta: 6th International Joint Conference, APWeb-WAIM 2022, Nanjing, China, November 25-27, 2022, Proceedings Part I" English | ISBN: 3031251571 | 2023 | 596 pages | PDF | 42 MB This three-volume set, LNCS 13421, 13422 and 13423, constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 6th International Joint Conference, APWeb-WAIM 2022, held in Nanjing, China, in August 2022. ![]() Mark D.

Even as a child, something as small as a dying moth crawling around in circles, leaving powdery traces of itself on the bathroom floo, could set off a flood of tears. Skull motifs on T-shirts, tattoos and jewellery have always made me squirm. I am scared of becoming ill, of dying, ever anxious about my own safety as well as the wellbeing of my family and friends. So how on earth did I choose a career in medicine, where I am constantly surrounded by people facing the threat of death? Until recent generations, death was very much a part of the fabric of life. Death avoidance, or the reluctance to engage in any thought or discussion around the subject, is a relatively new development in Western society. Nowadays, with the advent of mass immunisation, pharmaceuticals and other medical advances, we have almost forgotten that 'in the good old days' disease was most often a death sentence. nLess than a century ago, 10 per cent of infants didn't make it to their first birthday. Taking a stroll through an old section of a local cemetery is a sobering reminder of this, with many tiny graves lining the pathways. Religion once played a central role in providing a strong frame of reference for people to deal with death anxiety. The increasing secularisation of society sees many freefalling into a black hole of terror in the face of death, left trying to find another way to deal with this reality. ![]() Victoria Kahn, "Wayward Contracts: The Crisis of Political Obligation in England, 1640-1674" English | 2016 | ISBN: 0691171246, 069111773X | EPUB | pages: 392 | 1.5 mb Why did the language of contract become the dominant metaphor for the relationship between subject and sovereign in mid-seventeenth-century England? In Wayward Contracts, Victoria Kahn takes issue with the usual explanation for the emergence of contract theory in terms of the origins of liberalism, with its notions of autonomy, liberty, and equality before the law. |
