HuMetrics Values Framework
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

HuMetricsHSS supports the creation of values-based frameworks to guide all kinds of scholarly process, and to promote the nurturing of a values-enacted approach to academia writ large. During the 2016 Triangle Scholarly Communication Institute (SCI), the authors sketched a preliminary set of core values for enriching scholarship, highlighting five: Equity, Openness, Collegiality, Quality, Community. They created a framework which is intended to help transform how scholarship is created, assessed, and valued in the humanities.

At the workshops and in the toolkit, they emphasize that values are locally negotiated and frameworks locally built. That’s the explicit point of the workshop, to make space for open conversation about values and their meaning, to come to agreement on what matters for a given group, and then to work on constructing a framework that could be used to guide evaluation in the academy — whether that’s through the tenure and promotion process, the setting of annual goals, the hiring of new faculty, or decision-making about what kinds of digitization projects to take on, what kinds of collections to develop, or what kinds of projects to publish at an academic press.

Rating
0.0 stars

This OER campus administrator guide, officially entitled "OER & Online Learning: Administrator Quick Start Guide, Strengthening the Shift to Online Learning in California Community Colleges Through the Use of OER", is an outcome of a project by ISKME, supported by a grant from the Michelson 20MM Foundation, to conduct a study and develop a set of resources to accelerate OER use for distance education, especially the urgent shift to remote learning during the pandemic in 2020.

The Guide, created in collaboration with a selection of OER and online education champions across California community colleges (CCC), seeks to support community college administrators in California and beyond in more effectively supporting faculty use of OER as they work to address the reality of online learning in response to COVID-19 and future disruptions. The guide provides quick tips and starting points for campus administrators as they work to create the policy and practice environments needed to foster increased OER use for online learning.

Il valore pedagogico didattico dell'errore
Only Sharing Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

INTRODUZIONECosa sarebbe stato il mondo, l’umanità, se non fosse esistito l’errore ?Cosa sarebbe accaduto se Colombo fosse arrivato veramente nelle Indie ?A quali scoperte non avremmo assistito se lo scienziato non avesse     commesso il “fatidico” errore ?Quale altra opera al posto della “Divina” avremmo avuto se Dante, peccatore,  non avesse smarrito la "Diritta via" ?Questi ed altri interrogativi ci portano a prendere in considerazione l’errore e ci sembra veramente paradossale voler giungere ad elogiare ed incoraggiare l’errore in una istituzione, la scuola, da sempre riconosciuta, dal senso comune, come l’istituzione che deve correggere l’errore e deve indirizzare sulla “retta via”.È difficile pensare che si possa valorizzare ciò che deve essere eliminato, per cui diventa normale ritenere che la paura di sbagliare debba essere profondamente radicata negli studenti e che si debba fare di tutto per evitare l’errore .Tale convinzione è essenzialmente dovuta alla comune ed antica impostazione didattica della scuola che vede nell’errore la condizione prima da evitare.Alla luce di attenta riflessione e con il sostegno del pensiero di autorevoli studiosi, un ripensamento sulla funzione dell’errore appare particolarmente  importante nell’apprendimento scolastico.

Inclusion, Diversity and Communication Across Cultures: A Teacher's Book with Classroom Activities for Secondary Education
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

Children and young people play an important role in migratory processes because they may act as links between their families, local communities and their school. Schooling and linguistic immersion in the host society can help young people learn the official language(s) of their new country faster than their parents or other adults. When they broker in a school context, they bring linguistic diversity to the school and display truly multilingual and multicultural skills that are part of their daily life. This Teacher's Book aims to help you and your students explore some of the complexity involved in young people taking on such roles in modern societies. Therefore, the aim of this Teacher's Book is twofold: (a) to celebrate multilingualism and raise awareness of young people translating and interpreting in schools, an activity also known as child language brokering; and (b) to provide a resource containing background information and interactive activities aimed at giving teachers tools for a deeper understanding of what language brokering by young people usually entails, so that you can then pass it on to your students.
