Toward Racially-Just Multilingual Classroom Pedagogy

Creating equitable multilingual classrooms grounded in explicitly anti-racist teaching practices requires transformation of practice preceded by transformation of thinking. Classroom learning centers can provide the context for truly transformational, anti-racist teaching, but equitable implementation requires a deliberately humanizing approach toward teaching multilingual learners. The chapter outlines the process of operationalizing learning centers in such a way, through pedagogy grounded in the enduring principles of learning and critical sociocultural theory. Based on over 50 years of teaching across five countries and conducting international research in the field of multilingual education, the authors provide research-based, practical steps for learning center design and implementation. Educators will gain a practical pathway for implementation, as well as a model for the self-reflective work that is essential for any meaningful transformation toward racially just classrooms.

E-Portfolios and Practicum in Teacher Education

The Teacher Education Program at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) implemented three initiatives in 2018 to improve the practicum experience for teacher candidates. One of these initiatives was to extend the use of e-Portfolios into final practicum. E-Portfolios are first developed by teacher candidates in EDUC 431, the Education Technology course, but they were asked to continue its use in the following term during final practicum. The extended use of e-Portfolios served as one response in the teacher education program to BC’s Curriculum (2021) and changes in the K-12 system, which in turn modelled several aspects of BC’s Curriculum such as personalization, Core Competencies, formative assessment, and the First Peoples Principles of Learning. Including final practicum as part of the e-Portfolio, teacher candidates were able to deepen their understanding of the Professional Standards for BC Educators (2019), reflect on their teaching experience, and conclude the program with a presentation at the Celebration of Learning. Teacher candidates were able to maintain an e-Portfolio during final practicum, identify additional artefacts to demonstrate their understanding of the professional standards, and create a digital narrative describing who they are as educators.

CONCEPTUAL PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING ORGANIZATION

The main purpose of this study is to present conceptual principles of the learning organisation as a modern form of functioning of contemporary organisations and enterprises and the awareness of the dominant role of intangible resources. The most important factor that protects organizations from solidifying is knowledge. In an organization, knowledge is produced by people and these people learn. However, learning alone is not sufficient for the success of the organization. For a lasting and sustainable process, organizational learning is required. Knowledge, on the other hand, is inextricably linked to human capital, which is now the most valuable resource of the new forms of organisation.

IMPLEMENTASI MODEL PENDEKATAN BRAIN GYM UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA

This study aims to determine whether students' mathematics learning outcomes increase after teaching and learning activities are carried out using the Brain Gym approach model (brain exercise). This study used a qualitative approach model and was conducted at SD Negeri Kebalen 05, Babelan District, Bekasi Regency with three cycles. In the first cycle, some students were not familiar with learning conditions using the Brain Gym approach model (brain gymnastics) so that action was taken by explaining the principles of learning with the Brain Gym approach model. On the other hand, the teacher as a collaborator in this research has not been maximal in implementing the Brain Gym approach model. In the second cycle, students and teachers (collaborators) have begun to understand the implementation of the Brain Gym approach model learning and show quite satisfactory results as well as in the third cycle. This can be seen from the results of observations of students and teachers that lead to the Brain Gym approach model. From the results of observations, student activity increased from 52% in the first cycle, 72% in the second cycle, and to 82% in the third cycle. Meanwhile the results of daily tests showed an increase, namely: in the first cycle with KKM 55.00 completed with an average of 63, cycle II KKM 65.00 an average of 71.4 and in the third cycle KKM 65.00 an average of 80.6 . From the results of the research in cycles I, II, and III, it was concluded that the implementation of the Brain Gym approach model could improve student learning outcomes and activities in learning mathematics in class IV.1 SD Negeri Kebalen 05, Babelan District, Bekasi Regency. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah hasil belajar matematika siswa meningkat setelah dilaksanakan kegiatan belajar mengajar dengan menggunakan model pendekatan Brain Gym (senam otak). Penelitian ini menggunakan model pendekatan kualitatif dan dilakukan di SD Negeri Kebalen 05 Kecamatan Babelan Kabupaten Bekasi dengan tiga siklus. Pada siklus pertama sebagian siswa belum terbiasa dengan kondisi belajar menggunakan model pendekatan Brain Gym (senam otak) sehingga dilakukan tindakan dengan memberi penjelasan tentang prinsip-prinsip pembelajaran dengan model pendekatan Brain Gym.

Rethinking Learning: What the Interdisciplinary Science Tells Us

Theories of learning developed in education and psychology for the past 100 years are woefully inadequate to support the design of schools and classrooms that foster deep learning and equity. Needed is learning theory that can guide us in creating schools and classrooms where deep learning occurs, where learners’ full selves are engaged, and that disrupt existing patterns of inequality and oppression. In this article, we build on recent research in education, neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology to articulate a theory of learning that has the potential to move us toward that goal. We elaborate four key principles of learning: (1) learning is rooted in evolutionary, biological, and neurological systems; (2) learning is integrated with other developmental processes whereby the whole child (emotion, identity, cognition) must be taken into account; (3) learning is shaped in culturally organized practice across people’s lives; and (4) learning is experienced as embodied and coordinated through social interaction. Taken together, these principles help us understand learning in a way that foregrounds the range of community and cultural experiences people have throughout the life course and across the multiple settings of life and accounts for learning as set within systems of injustice.

Pedagogical paradigms of professional training of future engineers in the conditions of educational and information environment of technical university

The article identifies and analyzes the paradigm of educational information environment formation in the technical higher educational institutions. The authors presented the paradigm based on the humanitarization of higher education, which aims to provide valuable guidance and motivation to establish criteria for creating conditions for self-development and personal fulfillment of future engineers. The article argues that revealing of the integrity of education and regulating scientific, research and practical innovation of training activities and educational paradigm should be considered in conjunction. The pedagogical paradigms of professional training of future engineers in the educational and information environment of a technical university enable determining the content of academic disciplines. In general, the analysis of the dynamics of formation and development of the paradigm helps to preserve the principles of learning and a genetic nucleus of the national pedagogical science and practice.

Learning by Doing Intervention: Addressing Phonological Difficulties of Children through Audiolingual Method and Total Physical Response

Phonological awareness is a critical skill that children must master during the early foundations of literacy. It is considered a highly accurate predictor of a child’s success in learning to read. However, at the expected age, there are cases in which children have not developed phonological awareness that consequently result in poor reading skills. This case study sought to determine the alphabet knowledge of two seven-year-old children and address their difficulties in phonological awareness through the alphabetic code. The researchers conducted ten sessions of phonological interventions to children with identified language learning difficulties in reading. The data analysis and collection process included curriculum document reviews, diagnostic assessments, phonological interventions, and evaluation. Diagnostic results indicated that the children have difficulties in letter recognition of Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) patterns, blending, and segmentation of phonemes. However, anchoring on the principles of learning-by-doing delivered through oral-situational as a core language approach, the interventions in this case study were found effective for phonics instruction. The audio-lingual method and the total physical response in learning phonics, or letter sounds, activated children’s basic phonological skills. Repetition, drilling, memorisation and performing language or vocabulary concepts using physical movement to react to verbal input can lessen the phonological difficulties of children. In light of the current global situation, no previous studies have applied a case study utilizing both audiolingualism and total physical response to address the phonological issues of non-readers. Hence, this study offers scientific and pedagogical implications.
