Book Description
Este manual pretende aproximarnos a un planteamiento metodológico extraordinariamente potente para la educación infantil intentando satisfacer criterios de rigor científico y utilidad práctica para el docente. El movimiento y la acción sobre el entorno físico son un puente privilegiado hacia el aprendizaje y el desarrollo en el niño. La construcción sensomotriz de la capacidad cognitiva en las primeras edades viene asociada a la necesidad del niño de experimentar e interaccionar con su entorno social como base del desarrollo de su identidad personal y su personalidad. Podemos utilizar la psicomotricidad como una forma global de abordar el currículo en educación infantil desde una perspectiva integradora que fomenta una actitud activa y creativa en los niños o cuando menos puede representar una valiosa técnica para complementar el planteamiento curricular del docente de esta etapa. En los dos primeros capítulos de este libro se recorren los conceptos psico-evolutivos que deben fundamentar la práctica psicomotriz intentando conciliar los planteamientos teóricos con numerosos ejemplos de la vida cotidiana y del contexto de la educación infantil. El tercer capítulo analiza a fondo la práctica educativa de la psicomotricidad y su valor como estrategia metodológica para favorecer el desarrollo infantil. El cuarto capítulo profundiza en las distintas necesidades educativas especiales y su tratamiento en el aula de psicomotricidad desde una perspectiva inclusiva. Por último, se adjuntan numerosos anexos prácticos que ayudan al educador a aprovechar al máximo la psicomotricidad: escalas de desarrollo, criterios de evaluación, guías de estimulación sensorial, orientaciones respecto a la preparación de la sala y las sesiones, etc.

Psychological Approaches to Sustainability
Author: Víctor Corral Verdugo
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781626188778
Category : Environmental psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
An international team of leading scholars and young researchers in environmental psychology offers a relatively new perspective on the origin and solutions of the current environmental crisis. They explain how human nature has played a prominent role in the emergence of ecological problems such as global warming, threats to biodiversity, resources scarcity and pollution. But also, they demonstrate that such problems are interlinked with social problems such as poverty, famine, social and economical inequities and violence. According to this books authors, psychological theories and empirical evidence show that the solutions for those socio-ecological problems are to be found in human nature and its psychological predispositions. These include personal motives, world-visions, future perspective, environmental emotions, altruistic tendencies and behavioural capacities among other psychological predispositions that could allow the adoption of sustainable lifestyles. Meeting the ideals of sustainability requires the participation of the natural and social sciences, including psychology, in order to guarantee the fulfilment of its purposes.Behavioural sciences study the psychological characteristics and the contextual factors that lead people to adopt more sustainable lifestyles. In addition, these sciences investigate how sustainable behaviours promote happiness, psychological well being and restoration, which are considered among the aims of sustainable development by governments throughout the world. The authors, who are recognised experts in these areas, offer a state-of-the-art review and data on what it is known regarding the psychological dimensions of the environmental crisis, its behavioural solutions and the repercussions of sustainable behaviour on human well-being.

Players and Pawns
Author: Gary Alan Fine
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022626503X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
A chess match seems as solitary an endeavor as there is in sports: two minds, on their own, in fierce opposition. In contrast, Gary Alan Fine argues that chess is a social duet: two players in silent dialogue who always take each other into account in their play. Surrounding that one-on-one contest is a community life that can be nearly as dramatic and intense as the across-the-board confrontation. Fine has spent years immersed in the communities of amateur and professional chess players, and with Players and Pawns he takes readers deep inside them, revealing a complex, brilliant, feisty world of commitment and conflict. Within their community, chess players find both support and challenges, all amid a shared interest in and love of the long-standing traditions of the game, traditions that help chess players build a communal identity. Full of idiosyncratic characters and dramatic gameplay, Players and Pawns is a celebration of the fascinating world of serious chess.

Mapping Biology Knowledge
Author: K. Fisher
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9781402002731
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Mapping Biology Knowledge addresses two key topics in the context of biology, promoting meaningful learning and knowledge mapping as a strategy for achieving this goal. Meaning-making and meaning-building are examined from multiple perspectives throughout the book. In many biology courses, students become so mired in detail that they fail to grasp the big picture. Various strategies are proposed for helping instructors focus on the big picture, using the `need to know' principle to decide the level of detail students must have in a given situation. The metacognitive tools described here serve as support systems for the mind, creating an arena in which learners can operate on ideas. They include concept maps, cluster maps, webs, semantic networks, and conceptual graphs. These tools, compared and contrasted in this book, are also useful for building and assessing students' content and cognitive skills. The expanding role of computers in mapping biology knowledge is also explored.

How to Measure Survey Reliability and Validity
Author: Mark S. Litwin
Publisher: SAGE Publications
ISBN: 1506319815
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles Aimed at helping readers improve the accuracy of their survey, Litwin′s book guides in assessing and interpreting the quality of their survey data by thoroughly examining the survey instrument used. The book also explains how to code and pilot test new and established surveys. In addition, it covers such issues as how to measure reliability (e.g., test-retest, alternate-form, internal consistency, inter-observer, and intra-observer reliability), how to measure validity (including content, criterion, and construct validity), how to address cross-cultural issues in survey research, and how to scale and score a survey. "I found this work to be of very high quality with respect to both content and writing. It is commendable in terms of communicating and facilitating understanding of sometimes difficult concepts. It will make an excellent text for my introductory course on survey research and, I imagine, for many similar or related courses in the social sciences or education. All the pedagogical features, including the exercises, are excellent, and the level of writing throughout not only is appropriate for an introductory volume, but also engaging and lively." --Daniel U.
