Free Download Philosophy of Education: Thinking and Learning Through History and Practice By John Ryder
2022 | 286 Pages | ISBN: 1538166623 | EPUB | 1 MB
A 2023 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic TitleAssuming no background knowledge of philosophy, John Ryder’s introductory text surveys canonical writings and contemporary applications to inform future teachers’ practice of systematic philosophy of education. Exposing readers to the philosophies that built Western education, the book welcomes the development of alternate approaches through systematic analysis of how theory informs practice.The book systematically analyzes key contributions by the four most influential figures in the philosophy of Western education-Plato, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Dewey, and Paolo Freire. The book then builds on historical theories to help readers develop their own systematic philosophies of education. After questions of why, how, by or for whom, about what, where, and when education should be undertaken, the book delves into metaphysical, epistemological, and socio-political questions that may underlie educational principles.Encouraging readers to practice a philosophy of education rather than follow a prescribed path, the book presents a model of exploration that builds on ideas developed by philosophers such as Nel Noddings that can be applied across contemporary and emerging educational issues. The analytic experience and conceptual background material of this book enables readers to think carefully and reflectively about educational principles, policies, and practices as they dedicate themselves to the profession of education.

Free Download Integrating Computational Thinking Through Design-Based Learning: Strategies for Integration in Different Disciplines by Mustafa Saritepeci, Hatice Yildiz Durak
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 237 Pages | ISBN : 981960852X | 13.2 MB
This book creates a theoretical framework to consider the integration of computational thinking (CT) into learning and teaching processes in different contexts from a design-based learning (DBL) perspective, and presents various intervention studies. The chapters each focus on a different aspect of CT integration through DBL, providing an overview and discussing the benefits of integrating CT into the curriculum. The book also discusses the design thinking process and how it can be used to promote CT, focusing on CT concepts and considering perspectives on how these concepts can be integrated into DBL activities. It also explores how artificial intelligence (AI)-based design-oriented learning activities can be used to develop students’ CT skills, examines the information technology (IT) concept of pattern recognition, and provides examples of how this can be integrated into DBL activities. It presents practical examples on integrating CT into the teaching-learning process from a design-based learning perspective, summarizes approaches to assessing CT skills, and discusses them in the context of design-based learning. Lastly, this book also conducts a bibliometric analysis of publication and citation trends in computational thinking research conducted in design-based learning.

Free Download Critical Thinking in Science Education and Teacher Training by Antonio Joaquín Franco-Mariscal
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 323 Pages | ISBN : 3031785770 | 23 MB
This edited volume explores the challenge of fostering critical thinking (CT) skills in science education, presenting the ENCIC-CT model as a framework for development. Named after the Science Education and Competences (Enseñanza de las Ciencias y Competencias, ENCIC) research group at the University of Malaga, Spain, this model emphasizes cultivating CT through socio-scientific issues and daily-life problems. It includes three key domains: knowledge, skills, and dispositions, each encompassing various dimensions addressed through scientific practices like argumentation, inquiry, and modeling. Teaching strategies such as gamification, role-playing, micro-debates, augmented reality, controversy mapping, and digital storytelling are highlighted. Spanning theoretical perspectives and practical experiences from early childhood to higher education, this book consolidates findings from the Spanish R&D project, "Citizens with Critical Thinking: A Challenge for Teachers in Science Education." It is an essential resource for educators, researchers, and practitioners, offering valuable insights and practical applications for all educational levels.
