Critical infrastructure

Trying to explain learning to anyone is a challenge I think. I feel as though the term “learning” is not just one straight forward definition. If I had to explain it to someone who hasn’t taken this class, my old definition would have been simply any information gathered and stored in the brain through the use of our five senses. Taking this class, and critically reading the text given, has made me realize that my explanation of learning was only partially correct. After conducting a…

On July 30, 2012 three women from the punk group called Pussy Riot, Yekaterina Samutsevich, Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova were in court on the charge of hooliganism for disrupting a church service in Moscow 's Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Although the evidence is enough to put away the three women the court acted unjust and biased throughout the whole trial denying Pussy Riot a fair trial. Since the Russian court system did not allow a fair and just trial for the members of Pussy…

Guided instruction and constuctivistic teaching are two instructional approaches. Guided instruction relies on the teachers to scaffold learning whereas constructivism relies on individual constructs, experiences, and adaptation. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages. In addition, both approaches are affected by individual differences and developmental stages. Ultimately, constructivistic teaching is a much more effective approach because it incorporates so much more than…

In this article it mentions some interesting facts.it says that service learning has an impact on student in various aspect areas like critical thinking, moral development, leadership skill, and civic responsibility. No doubt, working with these kid make me need to be more critical thinking person in order to find a various ways to teach my fellow students, as individual student is different from another. It’s impossible that you can teach every kid in a…

cultural characteristics, experiences, and perspectives of ethnically diverse students as conduits for teaching them more effectively (p.44). This theory has also been aligned with the theory of critical pedagogy (Freire, 2006; Bell, 1987), which ultimately created a segue for the introduction of CRP. Critical pedagogy explains how position and power are widely influenced by the concept of race and class. Brown-Jeffy & Cooper (2011) expressed that "[c]ritical race theory brings attention…

In this paper, I will explain Rene Descartes’ response from his Sixth Meditation to his dreaming argument from the First Meditation. Descartes’ Meditations are the processes of thinking that he attempted to create a stronger basis for our ways of thinking by doubting on various beliefs that are skeptical. In his Sixth Meditation, Descartes found an answer to his doubt and used that to refute his first premise of the dreaming argument. He knew that he could actually tell the different whether he…

Roxana knew just as much, maybe even more than what he did, making them disagree. They would disagree so much to the point where she threatened him with a dagger or sent the guards in to take him away, although she’d dismiss them once they arrived. Critical thinking could have played a role for yogi if he were to sit back and continue asking her more questions about what she knew so he could get educated on the things he was unaware of or disagreed with. But after their arguing, they laughed…

Identified Flying Objects Passage located in page 92 of How to Think About Weird Things claims that there is too many empirically profound evidence to simply just deny the existence of extraterrestrials. People sometimes say things that seem to suggest that knowledge doesn’t require belief. For example, after reading extraterrestrials’ evidences we might remark, “I understand that they exist, but I still don’t believe it.” What we mean, though, is not that we doubt that what we’ve read is true…

the without doubt the hardest work I have ever done, but no other type of job has ever given me as much satisfaction. Helping my students to comprehend the science behind this world we live in and watching their critical thinking skills grow warms my heart. I think teachers play a critical role in society in these rapidly changings times, a basic comprehension of scientific method is crucial to the development of an informed citizenry. Finally, I enjoy being around young people and watching them…

talk about critical literacy and its place in the classroom. Many new initiatives have begun to take place in education surrounding literacy and effective practices to better prepare our students for college or the workforce. After checking my state’s department of education website, I failed to find specific information about critical literacy. With limited knowledge on the topic, several definitions were explored. From these definitions, I will conclude with a usable definition of critical…
