This book focuses on a process which is generally known as teacher planning. Teacher planning is assumed in this work to serve two important functions. Its first function is to make teacher knowledge influence teacher intervention. Its second function is to promote the development of teacher knowledge. The first function has been much more discussed in the available literature than the second function, as presented next. Because of the links between teacher planning and action, teacher planning has a high potential as a vehicle for theory to be applied in teaching. These links include, at a certain grain size, the influence of the plan on opportunities to learn, content coverage, grouping for instruction and the general focus of classroom processes. Micro-level teaching processes such as specific verbal behaviour are not significantly influenced by planning, as they are mostly determined by interactive decision-making.

English | 2025 | ISBN: 1394206453 | 277 Pages | PDF | 6 MB
In Reinforcement Learning for Cyber Operations: Applications of Artificial Intelligence for Penetration Testing, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an incisive and practical discussion of reinforcement learning (RL) in cybersecurity that combines intelligence preparation for battle (IPB) concepts with multi-agent techniques. The authors explain how to conduct path analyses within networks, how to use sensor placement to increase the visibility of adversarial tactics and increase cyber defender efficacy, and how to improve your organization’s cyber posture with RL and illuminate the most probable adversarial attack paths in your networks.

Music, Informal Learning and the School A New Classroom Pedagogy (Ashgate Popular and Folk Music)


Free Download Music, Informal Learning and the School: A New Classroom Pedagogy (Ashgate Popular and Folk Music) By Lucy Green
2008 | 213 Pages | ISBN: 075466242X | EPUB | 1 MB
This pioneering book reveals how the music classroom can draw upon the world of popular musicians’ informal learning practices, so as to recognise and foster a range of musical skills and knowledge that have long been overlooked within music education. It investigates how far informal learning practices are possible and desirable in a classroom context; how they can affect young teenagers’ musical skill and knowledge acquisition; and how they can change the ways students listen to, understand and appreciate music as critical listeners, not only in relation to what they already know, but beyond.It examines students’ motivations towards music education, their autonomy as learners, and their capacity to work co-operatively in groups without instructional guidance from teachers. It suggests how we can awaken students’ awareness of their own musicality, particularly those who might not otherwise be reached by music education, putting the potential for musical development and participation into their own hands.Bringing informal learning practices into a school environment is challenging for teachers. It can appear to conflict with their views of professionalism, and may at times seem to run against official educational discourses, pedagogic methods and curricular requirements. But any conflict is more apparent than real, for this book shows how informal learning practices can introduce fresh, constructive ways for music teachers to understand and approach their work. It offers a critical pedagogy for music, not as mere theory, but as an analytical account of practices which have fundamentally influenced the perspectives of the teachers involved.Through its grounded examples and discussions of alternative approaches to classroom work and classroom relations, the book reaches out beyond music to other curriculum subjects, and wider debates about pedagogy and curriculum.

Learning to Live Understanding the Child from Birth to Adolescence)


Free Download Beatrix Tudor-Hart, "Learning to Live: Understanding the Child from Birth to Adolescence)"
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032409673 | PDF | pages: 227 | 86.7 mb
Originally published in 1963, this account, based on a lifetime of first-hand experience of the growing child, covers all the situations and problems which a child – and its parents and educators – meet in the first twelve years of life, from the earliest of feeding and sleeping right through to learning to read, write, and adjust happily to other people. Every parent wants to be sure that his or her child gets the best possible start in life. At the time so many books that were supposed to deal with the formative years of a child’s life gave advice that was incomplete, conflicting or ambiguous. It was for this reason that there had been so many pleas for a book which gave full explanations for its recommendations without sacrificing either warmth or humanity. The author produced such a book.
