Cooperative Grouping for Interactive Learning

Students, Teachers, and Administrators

Little has been written about the practical considerations for reforming schools from the inside. This booklet explores how people responsible for schools can develop better relationships, new forms of colleagueship, and new ways of working together more productively. Three aphorisms describe the phenomenon of faculty-led school improvement: (1) taking a trip without a roadmap; (2) rebuilding the airplane while in flight; and (3) rediscovering the "if it's not local, it's not real" adage. To restructure education effectively, educators must foster the dynamics of group functioning and build an environment in which research-proven teaching methodologies promoting positive student interaction can flourish. Cooperation and collaboration are often hampered when groups of teachers and students are asked to work together without using group building activities, which incorporate heterogeneous grouping, positive interdependence, group reward, and individual accountability. Four chapters discuss specific group builders to enhance positive interactions between administrators and teachers, among teachers, and among both younger and older students. The last chapter discusses approaches to assessing the outcomes of the interactive process. Numerous sources for group-building activities are included, along with a selected bibliography of 35 references. (MLH)

As students grow older, their elementary classrooms often become teacher-
oriented, and student learning becomes individual and isolated. Teachers who
use interactive learning approaches recognize that perhaps the most important
learning resources are frequently neglected in this traditional classroom.
Traditional classrooms focus on teachers, books, and other materials as the
sources for learning. In interactive learning classrooms, however, student
interaction becomes the most ...

RealTime Physics Active Learning Laboratories, Module 1

Mechanics

The authors of RealTime Physics - David Sokoloff, Priscilla Laws, and Ron Thornton - have been pioneers in the revolution of the physics industry. In this edition, they provide a set of labs that utilize modern lab technology to provide hands-on information, as well as an empirical look at several new key concepts. They focus on the teaching/learning issues in the lecture portion of the course, as well as logistical lab issues such as space, class size, staffing, and equipment maintenance. Issues similar to those in the lecture have to with preparation and willingness to study.

You will first develop an idea of a force as a push or a pull. You will learn how to
measure forces. By applying forces to a cart and observing the nature of its
resulting motion graphically with a motion detector, you will come to understand
the effects of forces on motion. INVESTIGATION 1: MEASURING FORCES In this
investigation you will explore. • To find a mathematical relationship between the
force applied to an object and its acceleration. • spring scale with a maximum

Foreign Language Teacher's Guide to Active Learning

The easy-to-implement activities and strategies in this book will help middle and high school foreign language teachers enhance their students' success.

Positive transfer is especially easy when the two skills (new and old)are similar:
learning one Romance language makes learninga second one easier, for
example. When similaritiesexist with“old” material,the brainsimply adds the newto
theold, and stores it as a chunkof information. Metaphors, analogies, and similes
are especially effective ways topromote positive transfer. For example, telling
students that conjugating averb is likesmoking a cigar: first,thetipis clipped off,

Making Space for Active Learning

The Art and Practice of Teaching

This powerful collection will inspire new and veteran teachers to “make space” for children’s interests, for teaching as relational and intellectual work, and for new insights and ideas. The authors introduce the Prospect Center’s Descriptive Review of Practice, a collaborative inquiry process that provides an opportunity for teachers to examine their practice and gain new perspectives from other participants. The contributors to this volume respond to each child’s modes of thinking as they develop curriculum or find “wiggle room” in curricula they are given. By demonstrating how it is possible to pursue careful knowledge of craft, this book offers ways of teaching that allow for continuing growth and change. Book Features: An inquiry methodology that assists teachers to reflect on the classroom and develop curriculum that responds to children’s interests and needs. Specific examples of a variety of sources teachers can draw on and think about to improve practice. A method of data collection that can inform practice while allowing for the unevenness, messiness, and essential humanness of teaching and learning. “Making Space for Active Learning is a collection that stands alone and gets to the heart of what we mean by learning and teaching. Each contribution reminded me of how much I miss being in the classroom and how much we're missing in current so-called school reform discourse. Keep this book handy. A chapter at a time will restore some needed sanity about what's important.” —Deborah Meier, author and education activist “This book is a moving and powerful collection of teachers' work that holds the possibility of inspiring and changing new teachers' practice.” —Kathy Schultz, Dean and Professor, School of Education, Mills College “This book will add significantly to the expanding and important literature about The Prospect Processes which were developed over many years at the Prospect School and Center in Vermont. The chapters, all by experienced educators, profit from the back-and-forth between inquiry and stories of classroom life, each informing the other.” —Brenda S. Engel, associate professor, retired, Lesley University

C++: An Active Learning Approach

An Active Learning Approach

C++: An Active Learning Approach provides a hands-on approach to the C++ language through active learning exercises and numerous programming projects. Ideal for the introductory programming course, this text includes the latest C++ upgrades without losing site of the C underpinnings still required for all computing fields. With over 30 years combined teaching experience the authors understand potential pitfalls students face and aim to keep the language simple, straightforward, and conversational. The topics are covered in-depth yet as succinctly as possible. The text provides challenging exercises designed to teach students how to effectively debug a computer program and Team Programming exercises urge students to read existing code, adhere to code specifications, and write from existing design documents. Examples are provided electronically allowing to students to easily run code found in the text.

These tools, which are integrated into the IDE, will not find the errors for you but
will allow you to analyze the situation to determine whether the results of the
code being examined meet the expectations. Remember: Debugging tools only
help you find logic and run-time errors in running applications. All syntax and
linker errors must be corrected before using debugging tools. Most modern
developer environments have some form of these debugging tools. It is crucial for
you to learn the ...
