Transformational Geometry

Many current elementary textbooks and curriculum guides are placing increasing emphasis on the teaching of transformational geometry. This topic, however, is still relatively unfamiliar to many classroom teachers, and ways of helping teachers and students acquire a “feel” for simple, basic transformations are needed.

Collaboration is an important aspect of how our world functions today and an element at the core of rich learning opportunities. The role of educational institutions is one that provides provoking settings so that learning is deep and sustained well beyond the classroom walls. Learners are currently in a paradigm where they are able to learn at all hours of the day; they are no longer in a framework where learning is exclusive to a classroom. Teachers and students at The Bishop Strachan School are exploring this through the various uses of teaching and learning strategies and enriching these strategies with Web 2.0 applications. This chapter will present early explorations in the school with Wiki pages, social networking tools, such as NINGs, interactive timelines, and real-time applications, such as Google apps. Each of the cases provides an authentic learning experience for students and moves the student’s work out into the world.

North Carolina legislation mandating services for the gifted as exceptional children has heightened the need for inservice preparation of regular classroom teachers. Inservice preparation for rural school teachers is complicated by a scarcity of resource personnel and a lack of continuity and reinforcement of inservice activities. E.S.E.A. Title IV-C Project G.A.I.T. (Gifted Are Important Too) has demonstrated a program design for rural schools which includes a pre- and postassessment of teaching styles with the CAQ (Class Activities Questionnaire), program instruction of both teachers and students in the use of Bloom's Taxonomy with S.O.A.R. (Stages for Opportunities to Academic Realization), and reinforced monthly by teacher demonstrations of related learning activities. The active participation of the teachers in the inservice activity seemed to enhance their effectiveness as resource personnel for gifted education in their respective schools.

After more than four decades, development of artificially intelligent tutoring systems has been constrained by two interrelated problems: knowledge representation and natural language understanding. G. S. Maccia's epistemology of intelligent natural systems implies that computer systems will need to develop qualitative intelligence before these problems can be solved. Recent research on how human nervous systems develop provides evidence for the significance of qualitative intelligence. Qualitative intelligence is required for understanding of culturally bound meanings of signs used in communication among intelligent natural systems. S. I. Greenspan provides neurological and clinical evidence that emotion and sensation are vital to the growth of mind—capabilities that computer systems do not currently possess. Therefore, we must view computers in education as media through which a multitude of teachers can convey their messages. This does not mean that the role of classroom teachers is diminished. Teachers and students can be empowered by these additional learning resources.

Willingness To Use

The digital culture has enabled innovative approaches to communication in society. New professions, such as youtubers and vloggers, have conquered the labor market. In the classroom, teachers attempt to adapt teaching to that reality by stimulating research and knowledge by means of innovative methodologies. This study aims to investigate the use of audiovisual tools in the development of contents proposed by Technical Education teachers at Universidade do Vale do Taquari. Based on a questionnaire emailed to 306 students that have already concluded at least half of the courses, it was possible to analyze how that resource has enabled learning according to the students’ perception. As a descriptive, qualitative research, it aimed to obtain statistical data for a numerical analysis of results. Among the answers from 32 students we found out that part of the interviewed students positively evaluated the use of audiovisual tools in the learning process, as they both facilitate understanding and approach the content in a simple and practical way. It was also possible to understand that most students learned to use these tools by themselves or with the help from their classmates. When the students were asked about their willingness to use audiovisual tools more often in class, more than a half of them gave a positive answer, whether this use would be in theoretical disciplines, paper presentation or as a research instrument. Finally, we have considered the possibilities of articulation and interaction between teachers and students in order to reflect on the influence of the means of communication and information on the pedagogical practice in professional education.

The Relationship

School climate describe the environment that affects the behavior of teachers and students at the classroom. Elements of the school climate such as the building and its arrangements reflect the children, their needs, and their educational accomplishments. Some of these elements, however, have not received much attention in studies about the academic performance in Primary Education. This paper describes the relationship between environmental conditions in the classroom (e.g., lighting, isolation, order, cleanliness,…) and the academic performance of the students. This study analyses 248 Primary Education classrooms from nine countries of Iberoamerica using a 4-level Multilevel Model. The following information sources were used in this study: i) Classroom guide observation completed by researcher. ii) Standardized test to Math and Language learning. iii) Questionnaire to classroom teachers, pupils and their families. The results of this study highlight the strong influence of the order and cleanliness on the academic performance of the students.

The present study surveyed teachers and students without disabilities regarding the inclusion of students with disabilities at an Australian primary school. The school provided special education to 35 students with special needs and some of their education was provided in regular classrooms alongside peers without disabilities. Fifteen regular classroom teachers and 109 classroom peers without special needs completed questionnaires. Both groups provided a range of supportive comments about regular classroom placements for student with special needs, but also expressed concerns about the implementation of special education in regular classrooms. Specific concerns included the extra time and added stress of educating children with special needs in the regular classroom setting, potential disruption and disadvantage to other students and the lack of support and resources. Unless these concerns are addressed, placement of students with special needs in regular classrooms may generate stress, concern, and even possibly resentment among some teachers and students without disabilities.

Rusaknya moral bangsa dapat diamati dari memudarnya perilaku peserta didik yang dicermati dari cara berperilaku, bertutur kata yang kurang sopan dan tidak beretika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penanganan dekadensi moral melalui penerapan pendidikan karakter cinta damai dan nasionalisme di SD Muhammadiyah Karangtengah. Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek dalam penelitian adalah kepala sekolah, guru kelas, guru PJOK, guru PAI, serta peserta didik. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik pengamatan, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil analisis mengindikasikan bahwa dalam mengurangi kemrosotan moral peserta didik di usia sekolah dasar, pihak sekolah menanamkan pendidikan karakter cinta damai dan nasionalisme melalui pembiasaan, integrasi dalam pembelajaran, serta melalui budaya sekolah. Dalam penerapan pendidikan karakter tidak hanya usaha dari pihak sekolah saja, namun juga diperlukan adanya kerjasama antar semua elemen, mulai dari elemen pendidikan, keluarga, maupun lingkungan masyarakat. Hal itu merupakan langkah-langkah dalam mengurangi bahkan mencegah perilaku-perilaku kemrosotan moral yang terjadi di usia sekolah dasar. Handling Moral Decadence Through the Application of Peace Love Characters and NationalismThe damage to the nation's morals can be observed from the waning behavior of students who are observed from how to behave, speak impolite and unethical words. This study aims to describe the handling of moral decadence through the application of peace-loving character education and nationalism in Muhammadiyah Elementary School, Karangtengah. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The subjects in this study were school principals, classroom teachers, PJOK teachers, Islamic education teachers, and students. The data was collected by means of observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The results of the analysis indicate that in reducing the moral decline in elementary school age, schools instill peace-loving character education and nationalism through habituation, integration in learning, and through school culture. In implementing character education, it is not only an effort from the school, but also requires cooperation between all elements, starting from the elements of education, family, and the community. This is a step in reducing and even preventing moral degeneration behavior that occurs at elementary school age.
