Teaching Strategies
Author: James S. Etim
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781536135886
Category : Culturally relevant pedagogy
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
In the last thirty years, the educational system has become increasingly more diverse. In some school systems, the majority is now slowly moving towards being the minority within the next ten to fifteen years. Educators are confronted with several questions: How can instruction be more engaging and relevant to the needs of learners? What strategies can be employed to meet the needs of learners at different levels of the educational ladder, within the same level and in the same classroom and given the achievement gap how can educators ensure that all students learn without lowering the standards for high achieving students? This book in some ways explores these and more questions that are at the heart of teaching and learning. The contributors, who are all classroom teachers, educators or practitioners at varying levels of the education system, propose and discuss strategies that are effective in advancing student learning. After reviewing literature on research and effective teaching, the author of Chapter One pointed out that the ways to prepare effective teachers is still a work in progress and that the broad areas of subject matter specialization, certification and experience are all still valid in the discussion of effective teachers. The book is divided into five sections: Theoretical Framework, Teaching English Language Arts, Teaching Science and Mathematics, Information Technology and Assessment. Each section provides readers with issues affecting instruction and effective strategies. This book is a useful resource for prospective and practicing teachers, especially those working in schools with diverse populations.

Experiential Learning
Author: Eliott Woods
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781634632621
Category : Experiential learning
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In our lives, times exist when we want to be able to not only speak but to give voice to our ideas, our identity, our community, and our standpoint in society. This may happen in public or private spaces. However, the various constraints on voice often make it impossible. Human agents have boundaries, manipulate and are manipulated by, those boundaries. Boundaries become especially apparent in educational settings. On an institutional level, the selection of subjects taught and subjects ignored demonstrates the constraints of boundaries. Experiential learning is an activity that allows the learner to directly interact or experience the subject matter being studied. Field trips are one form of experiential learning, which may serve as an effective teaching strategy for a variety of reasons including introducing global perspectives, class cohesion, and motivation. This book discusses emerging perspectives, strategies and educational outcomes of experiential learning.

Game-based Learning
Author: Youngkyun Baek
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781536119206
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
At a time when digital games are becoming much more commonly used in classrooms, Game-Based Learning: Theory, Strategies, and Performance Outcomes provides a much-needed guide to different forms and applications of digital game-based learning. This book brings together researchers and practitioners from around the world who share their theories, strategies, findings of case studies, and practical approaches to support better performance and learning outcomes when learning with digital games. This book is intended to provide readers with three main parts of information. One is a clear and practical understanding of theory and research-based principles of game-based learning. This first section of the book includes fresh perspectives and an overview of existing and emerging theories in game-based learning, which are also presented in the form of case study findings and implications. The second section of this book gives readers the "how to" information needed to turn the understanding of intellectual grounding into effective practices of digital games for classroom use. The third part of this book also includes some practical approaches for evaluating different aspects of learning within the game-based learning context. This information about practical approaches is presented through chapters on achievements and performance outcomes. Game-Based Learning: Theory, Strategies, and Performance Outcomes synthesizes arguments, practices, and research findings on the effectiveness of different designs and approaches within game-based learning practices. But, a major message of this book is that the joint influence of implementation, context, and learner characteristics interacting with digital games is what determines learning and achievement outcomes. This book is intended for researchers, practitioners, designers, policy makers, and current and future teachers. The teacher/-educator will benefit from topics such as practical strategies to improve student performance, while researchers can use the findings from the case studies presented in this book as a foundation for future explorations and research studies.

Adaptive Treatment Strategies in Practice: Planning Trials and Analyzing Data for Personalized Medicine
Author: Michael R. Kosorok
Publisher: SIAM
ISBN: 1611974186
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Personalized medicine is a medical paradigm that emphasizes systematic use of individual patient information to optimize that patient's health care, particularly in managing chronic conditions and treating cancer. In the statistical literature, sequential decision making is known as an adaptive treatment strategy (ATS) or a dynamic treatment regime (DTR). The field of DTRs emerges at the interface of statistics, machine learning, and biomedical science to provide a data-driven framework for precision medicine. The authors provide a learning-by-seeing approach to the development of ATSs, aimed at a broad audience of health researchers. All estimation procedures used are described in sufficient heuristic and technical detail so that less quantitative readers can understand the broad principles underlying the approaches. At the same time, more quantitative readers can implement these practices. This book provides the most up-to-date summary of the current state of the statistical research in personalized medicine; contains chapters by leaders in the area from both the statistics and computer sciences fields; and also contains a range of practical advice, introductory and expository materials, and case studies.
