"How To Teach So Students Remember" by Marilee Sprenger
When you teach a lesson, do your students remember the information the next day? The next week? Will they retain that information long enough to use it on a high-stakes test and, most importantly, will they retain it well enough to make use of it in their lives beyond school?
"How to Teach So Students Remember" offers seven steps to increase your students’ capacity to receive information in immediate memory, act on it in working memory, store it in long-term memory, and retrieve and manipulate it in unanticipated situations--that is, to use what they’ve learned when they need it.
How does developmental psychology connect with the developing world?
What do cultural representations tell us about the contemporary
politics of childhood? What is the political economy of childhood?
This companion volume to Burman's Deconstructing Developmental Psychology
helps us to explain why questions around children and childhood - their
safety, their sexuality, their interests and abilities, their violence
- have so preoccupied the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In
this increasingly post-industrial, post-colonial and multicultural
world, this book identifies analytical and practical strategies for
improving how we think about and work with children. Drawing in
particular on feminist and postdevelopment literatures, the book
illustrates how and why reconceptualising our notions of individual and
human development, including those informing models of children's
rights and interests, will foster more just and equitable forms of
professional practice with children and their families.
Research on small groups is highly diverse because investigators who study such groups vary in their disciplinary identifications, theoretical interests, and methodological preferences. The goal of this volume is to capture that diversity, and thereby convey the breadth and excitement of small group research by acquainting students with work on five fundamental aspects of groups. These are: group composition (the number and type of people who belong to the group); group structure (the status systems, norms, and roles that constrain interactions among group members); group conflict (arising from competition among members for scarce resources, both tangible and intangible); group performance (cooperative efforts among members to create joint products and achieve common goals); and group ecology (the physical, social, and temporal environments in which the group operates). Although these five aspects of groups are all important, they have not received equal research attention. In an effort to reflect this relative interest, more space has been devoted to conflict and performance than to composition, structure, and ecology.
The volume also includes an introductory chapter by the editors which provides an overview of the history of and current state-of-the-art in the field. Together with introductions to each section, discussion questions and suggestions for further reading, make the volume an ideal text for senior undergraduate and graduate courses on group dynamics.
This book brings together for the first time the emerging literature
that employs economics to analyze the implications of constitutional
protections of individual rights and freedoms, including freedom of
speech and of the press, the right to bear arms, the right against
unreasonable search, the right against self-incrimination, the right to
trial by jury, and the right against cruel or unusual punishment.
Several
of the papers included in the book employ economic theory to analyze
the efficiency of policies related to the constitutional protections,
and others formulate empirical models to estimate the effects of these
policies on observable outcomes. Many of the results are immediately
relevant to current debate and policy-making. Contributors include
Sendhil Mullainathan, Albert Breton and Daniel Seidmann.
