Book Description
Today, information and technological developments grow at a rapid pace. Social and political life becomes more and more complicated and, in this process, active citizenship becomes more essential. Knowledge-driven changes in society and economies require individuals to quickly acquire new skills. Otherwise, it is increasingly difficult for employees to adapt to business life and to find a job. Education has to take account of these circumstances, adapt to the rapid developments in the world and educate individuals to continue lifelong learning. For this, skills such as active and independent learning, assertiveness, creativity, self-improvement, lifelong learning are important. Skill teaching differs from knowledge teaching. Skill is the transfer of knowledge to practice. This process involves a learning process that requires the steps of researching, planning, controlling and correcting. The knowledge should be organized, integrated, transferred into practice, mental and physical resources should be activated, and knowledge use should be demonstrated in practice in order to improve the skill. This book contributes to the teaching of skills and includes basic concepts and skills, language skills, science and mathematics skills, psycho-social skills and visual arts skills. It also explains how to teach skills, how to prepare for activities and how to implement activities in educational settings. These applications are intended to draw attention to skill teaching, to raise educators, to increase the success of education, to improve the skills of students, and to enable them to use the skills they have learned in school outside of school and in complex tasks.

The Action-oriented Approach
Author: Enrica Piccardo
Publisher: Multilingual Matters
ISBN: 1788924363
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 475
Book Description
This book presents the background to the current shift in language education towards action-oriented/action-based teaching, and provides a theorization of the Action-oriented Approach (AoA). It discusses the concepts and theories that paved the way for the AoA and explores their relevance for the way language education is conceived and implemented in the classroom. In the process, it revisits the concept of competence and discusses the dynamic notions of mediation and plurilingualism. The authors explain the way in which the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and its recent update, the CEFR Companion Volume, broaden the scope of language education, in particular in relation to the actional turn. The book provides scholars and practitioners with a research-informed description of the AoA, explains its implications for curriculum planning, teaching and assessment, and elaborates on its pedagogical implications.

Competence and Program-based Approach in Training
Author: Catherine Loisy
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119557097
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
The controversies that have developed in recent years in the field of education and training around program and competency-based approaches are not without reminiscent of those which are at the origin of a reflection on the question of methods to monitor, control, organize and shape innovation in science and technology "and led to the emergence of the notion of responsibility for innovation and research "(Pellé & Reber, 2015). This book is clearly part of this type of approach. Starting from a current state of play on the issues and controversies raised by curricular and competency-based approaches (Chapters 1 and 2), this book aims at presenting new theoretical frameworks, allowing to account for the processes implied by the implementation of these pedagogical innovations and, in particular, those which, at the very heart of the skills mobilized, promote a "responsibility" dimension. Based on a developmental approach to individual and collective competencies and their evaluation (Chapters 3, 4 and 5), it attempts to show how this approach can mobilize educational practices on strong societal issues, such as "sustainable development "(Chapter 5). Lastly, it aims to provide theoretical and practical benchmarks to help engage educational teams and institutions in these innovative and responsible approaches by providing a coherent framework for doing so (Chapters 6, 7 and 8).

Connectionist Models of Neurocognition and Emergent Behavior
Author: Eddy J. Davelaar
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814340340
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
This volume collects together most of the papers presented at the Twelfth Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop (NCPW12) held in 2010 at Birkbeck College (England). The conference invited submissions on neurocomputational models of all cognitive and psychological processes. The special theme of this conference was "From Theory to Applications," which allowed submissions of pure theoretical work and of pure applied work. This topic extended the boundaries of the conference and highlighted the extent to which computational models of cognition and models in general are integrated in the cognitive sciences. The chapters in this book cover a wide range of research topics in neural computation and psychology, including cognitive development, language processing, higher-level cognition, but also ecology-based modeling of cognition, philosophy of science, and real-world applications.

French through Corpora
Author: Virginie André
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443860719
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
This book offers a series of studies that come together in their concern for furthering an understanding of the French language, of its uses, its forms, its variation, and its acquisition. Other than contributing to a general understanding of French, this book also addresses the use of corpora for the study of language and the links between tools, methods, analyses and applications. What data are used, and how? What are the underlying theoretical and/or methodological considerations? How have these changed our way of formulating linguistic descriptions? What are the implications for descriptive accounts of French today? What are the applications of corpus studies? These questions (and many more) are addressed here in a series of scholarly contributions grouped into four broad areas: diachrony, syntax, sociolinguistics, and the learning and teaching of French. The book provides an up-to-date and challenging account of French for researchers in French linguistics. It will also be suitable for use on post-graduate and some undergraduate courses, providing useful information not only for students and teachers of French, but also for language and linguistics students in general. Many of the issues addressed are not specific to the French language and can be accounted for within a more general area of reflection within linguistics on changing relations between data, theory and methods.

The Social Action-Oriented Approach in Language Teaching
Author: Ahmet Acar
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1036411796
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The action-oriented approach (renamed as the social action-oriented approach in this book) was first introduced by the Council of Europe (CoE) in its official document The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR, 2001). This book aims to provide a detailed explanation of this approach in all its dimensions: its origins, how it has developed as a new methodology within its new didactic configuration, how to implement it in language textbooks and the classroom as well as the issue of designing social action-oriented curricula and programs. We believe this book will be a useful resource for curriculum developers, language textbook writers, researchers in the language teaching field, language teacher trainees, language teachers (K-12), and university students.

L'approche par compétences dans l'enseignement des langues - Ebook
Author: Jean-Claude Beacco
Publisher: Didier
ISBN: 2278069977
Category : Education
Languages : fr
Pages : 189
Book Description
Enseigner à partir du CECRL Cet ouvrage propose de décrire, de manière opérationnelle, des démarches méthodologiques pour organiser les enseignements des langues par compétences spécifiques, perspective adoptée de facto avec le CECRL. Le Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues (CECRL), instrument d'organisation de ces enseignements désormais incontournable, n'a pas pour objet de proposer une nouvelle méthodologie. Mais la place accordée à l'interaction, à la réception et à la production écrite/orale dans ses descripteurs, remet sur le devant de la scéne l'approche par compétences, stratégie d'enseignement qui est au coeur de l'approche communicative. Ce petit traité de méthodologie à l'usage des jeunes générations reprend donc la question du début : définition de méthodologie d'enseignement et d'autres termes stratégiques (chap.1) et caractérisation de la méthodologie globaliste ordinaire (chap.2). La réflexion centrale est consacrée à la détermination des composantes de la compétence à communiquer langagièrement (avec la composante discursive mobilisant les genres de discours), qui fondent l'approche par compétences [chap. 3 à 5) et dont le principe fondateur est que, si la connaissance d'une langue peut être analysée en compétences discursives distinctes, alors leur enseignement relève de démarches elles-mêmes distinctes. A partir de ce point de vue théorique, sont ensuite décrits de manière trés précise des éléments de guidage de l'enseignement de l'interaction orale (chap.6) et de la production/réception de textes(chap.7 et 8). L'articulation des compétences est analysée dans le chapitre final, car c'est elle qui commande la structure des unités concrètes d'enseignement et leur variabilité en fonction des cultures éducatives. Car cet ouvrage n'est pas un manifeste pour une nouvelle "orthodidaxie" universaliste: il est animé par le seul souci d'élargir, si besoin est, le répertoire méthodologique des enseignants.

ISBN: 1527580938
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
From the anthropological point of view, eating means to ingest qualities, but also defects. Digestion is a double process, encompassing both assimilation and distribution through transformation. This book is based on the contributions of specialists in various fields of activity, including anthropology, medicine, cultural studies, archaeology, theatre, linguistics, who explore how we understand the cultural heritage of food, and how this defines the stratification of society. Providing insights into the compatibility and incompatibility of physical and cultural food, this book offers a higher level of understanding of the world in which we live.
