Free Download Developmental Education Preparation: How Faculty Preparation in Higher Education Can Lead to Student Success By Ajai Cribbs Simmons
2022 | 104 Pages | ISBN: 1475866283 | EPUB | 1 MB
Developmental Education Preparation suggests faculty development that can be used for teaching developmental education and corequisites courses, specifically in mathematics. Providing a look into the needs of students that may not be prepared for college level courses, the premise of the book is to prepare the faculty as much as possible to handle a developmental course. Complete with techniques, pedagogy, instructional skills, when combined all together, this book can help with developing meaningful professional development on any campus across the nation. The interviews presented in this book provide the reality of some faculty of developmental mathematics education and revealed common trends in the needs and characteristics of corequisite courses. Based on the themes found, professional development is suggested to aid in helping shift any negative components of those themes. The themes help better understand the needs of teaching these challenging courses. Student success should start with faculty making sure they are equipped with the tools and understanding of the students. Student’s readiness starts with the faculty’s readiness. Having the combined understanding of faculty and student needs can help to create a professional development plan that will enhance the developmental level mathematics courses in higher education.

Free Download Radhika Desai, "Developmental and Cultural Nationalisms"
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0415469287, 1138967580 | EPUB | pages: 288 | 0.5 mb
Premature announcements of the eclipse of nation states under ‘globalization’ and ’empire’ stand exposed as the 21st century’s first economic crisis underlines their continuing importance. A predominantly cultural study of nationalism was unable to resist the ‘globalization’ thesis. Focusing on selected Asian cases, this book argues that nationalisms have always contained political economies as well as cultural politics. Placing nation-states centrally in our understanding of modern capitalism, it challenges the ‘globalization’ thesis. Rather than eclipse, nations and nationalisms have undergone changes under the impact of neoliberalism since the 1970s.

Free Download Yukio Tono, "Developmental and Crosslinguistic Perspectives in Learner Corpus Research "
English | ISBN: 9027207712 | 2012 | 367 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of current research and developments on the use of learner corpora perceived from developmental and crosslinguistic perspectives. The book is divided into two parts. The eleven contributions of Part I investigate the development of English language skills of young learners across seven countries/regions on the basis of a new corpus resource called the International Corpus of Crosslinguistic Interlanguage (ICCI). Part II contains seven papers devoted to other varieties of learner corpora, especially spoken learner corpora and learner corpora of languages other than English. Presenting original research in corpus linguistics, this book will be of interest to researchers and postgraduates in the fields of learner corpus research and second language acquisition and those who wish to apply corpus methodology in teaching and learning.

Free Download Robert O. Collins, "Prefrontal Cortex: Developmental Differences, Executive and Cognitive Functions and Role in Neurological Disorders "
English | ISBN: 1626186634 | 2013 | 189 pages | PDF | 6 MB
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain, lying in front of the motor and premotor areas and has been implicated in planning complex cognitive behavior, personality expression, decision making and moderating social behaviour. In this book, the authors discuss the developmental differences, executive and cognitive functions and role in neurological disorders relating to the functioning of the prefrontal cortex. Topics include developmental long-chain omega-3 fatty acid deficiency and prefrontal cortex pathology in psychiatric disorders; addiction and the prefrontal cortex; cognitive functioning and prefrontal cortex damage in children and adolescents; prefrontal cortex dysfunction and neurocognitive deficits in schizophrenia; and the developmental relationship between executive function and the prefrontal cortex in young children.

Free Download Anger Treatment for People with Developmental Disabilities: A Theory, Evidence and Manual Based Approach By John L. Taylor, Raymond W. Novaco(auth.)
2005 | 269 Pages | ISBN: 0470870044 | PDF | 3 MB
Anger and aggression are prevalent problems among people with developmental disabilities and constitute primary reasons for them to be admitted and re-admitted to institutions. They are also a key reason for the prescribing of behaviour control and anti-psychotic medication to this client group. Stimulated by growing research in this area, mental health and criminal justice professionals have begun to see the benefits of anger assessment and cognitive-behavioural anger treatment for people with developmental disabilities. There is no prior text to guide anger treatment provision to this client group. This text presents a manual-guided cognitive-behavioural anger treatment protocol, grounded in a solid theoretical framework and empirical evidence for its efficacy in clinical practice. The assessment and treatment approach is designed to engage and motivate patients with recurrent and deep-rooted anger problems and their manifestation in serious aggressive behaviour. Accompanying the treatment protocol are a number of worksheets, handouts, and exercise sheets for clinicians and clients that can be accessed online. Content: Chapter 1 Anger and Aggression: Conceptual Background and Historical Perspective (pages 1-14): Chapter 2 Anger and its Dysregulation: A Guiding Framework (pages 15-26): Chapter 3 Anger Treatment Effectiveness (pages 27-33): Chapter 4 Emotional Problems, Aggression, and Psychotherapy for People with Developmental Disabilities (pages 34-42): Chapter 5 Anger Treatment for People with Developmental Disabilities (pages 43-66): Chapter 6 Issues in Anger Assessment and Treatment Evaluation (pages 67-85): Chapter 7 Development, Delivery and Maintenance of a Cognitive?Behavioural Anger Treatment Protocol for People with Developmental Disabilities (pages 86-102): Chapter 8 Anger Treatment Protocol – Preparatory Phase (pages 103-119): Chapter 9 Anger Treatment Protocol – Treatment Phase (pages 120-152): Chapter 10 Therapist Training, Supervision, and Process Considerations (pages 153-166): Bruce T.

Free Download Erxin Scales: Child Developmental Scale of China by Chunhua Jin , Zhenmin Gao , Wenwen Liu
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 360 Pages | ISBN : 9819999960 | 23 MB
This book, drawing from internationally renowned scales like Bayley and Gesell, develops a child developmental assessment scale based on research data from Chinese children. It stands as a meticulous creation of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, a national-level institution for children’s development research in China. The scale demonstrates good reliability and validity, meeting psychometric standards in various statistical aspects. In the revised scale, developmental quotients are classified into six levels, distributions of percentiles for developmental quotients are provided, and screening indices for autism spectrum disorders are added. In doing so, the revised scale can not only identify developmental delays but also concurrently screen for autism spectrum disorder risks, providing a foundational reference for tracking children’s developmental status in follow-up studies. The book holds vital value and significance in fostering communication among scholars from universities and research institutions, as well as pediatricians, neurologists, and rehabilitation specialists in hospitals.
