Knowledge management

epitomize the significance in being educated. In both cases, knowledge destabilizes them and causes them to develop a hatred for themselves and others. In addition, they both realize that the knowledge they have acquired does not make freedom any less evasive. On a positive note, however, knowledge equips both men with common sense which they use to manipulate and deceive others to their own advantage. Douglass and Wright would argue that knowledge is powerful, and it is both a source of…

What’s her article “Funds of Knowledge” exactly about? Janet Kier Lopez is a doctoral candidate from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Education and is the director to a mentoring and preparatory program for Latino high school students called the Scholars, Latino Initiative. Her purpose for the article “Funds of Knowledge” was to show people how much students would benefit if teachers were to introduce their students home language, cultural fundamentals, and funds of knowledge into the classroom.…

of the text would not be difficult for students even without teacher’s help. However, even 100% text coverage may not cause complete comprehension to all the students. In order to make students get better understanding and acquire more incidental knowledge, the aim is to make the text reach 98% text coverage or more. As a result, the text needs to be modified to narrow the gap between students’ actual vocabulary size and the vocabulary size that is needed to reach 98% text coverage or…

Many people believe Christian education is an additional way to keep students in a comfortable environment. When really, it is so much more. In Bishop Kallistos Ware’s essay, “A Sense of Wonder,” he implies that by practicing a sense of wonder, Christian education can be taken advantage of as a way to indulge in the life of Christ. Ware celebrates the importance of the link between wonder and freedom, and truth and freedom. He observes that wonder can be brought to, but not forced upon the…

and withheld from the subjects of the empire, it can be discerned that knowledge of the script was used to yield power. On the other hand, if the script is found to be relatively complex, it can be understood that a certain level of literacy had been achieved in the Shang…

Is certainty necessary for knowledge? To really answer this question, we have to define what knowledge really is. Then in turn, we have to define what certainty really is. Truth also should be defined in order to help better understand the question. Once all three of these terms are defined then the main question can be dealt with. Truth should be dealt with first since it is the underlying aspect of the question. Some people could consider certainty truth. However, I do not feel as if…

framework should be incorporated into science laboratories as it increases student learning. The four components of this framework are learner-centeredness, knowledge-centeredness, assessment-centeredness, and community-centeredness. Learner-centeredness is making the instruction, laboratory, or assignment about the student instead of the teacher. Knowledge-centeredness is learning with understanding not memorization that focuses on a…

of life is to learn as much as possible and to make a difference in everything that I do. The impact I have on my circumstances and surroundings should be as positive and as long-lasting as possible. Life is the acquisition and application of knowledge to better myself and those around me. How should an individual measure success in their life? I prefer to think of success not in terms of acquiring material items but rather as John Wooden, famed UCLA basketball coach, defined it. He said…

Imagine having to give a presentation in class on a topic that is completely new to you. Your research consists only of typing the topic into Google and copying down the definition that pops up, and that is it. When you go to give your presentation, you put up a slide with only that definition on it. How well do you think that presentation will go? Probably not real great because the context is missing. When one’s only focus is on the conclusion, or the answer, the process of learning, and…

Student Learning in Science-Based Classroom Environments As a learning assistant for the analytical physics laboratory course, I have learned a great deal about how students learn and how to effectively use that knowledge to teach students. In the context of lab activities and open-ended research, several different pedagogical areas of interest have been extremely applicable to how I interact with students during my lab session and to what I believe is the best way for students to learn and…
