This tool is intended to assist teachers in planning both their teaching and the learning that their students are to acquire. The role of knowledge in learning The knowledge that young people acquire enables them to better understand the world in which they live. From a very early age, within their families and through contact with the media and with friends, they accumulate and learn to use an increasingly greater body of knowledge. The role of the school should be to progressively broaden, deepen and structure this knowledge.

  • Transportation Infrastructure and Regional Development in Northern Manitoba
    Transportation Infrastructure and Regional Development in Northern Manitoba: Realities and Prospects by Stephen Pratte A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Environment and Geography University of Manitoba Winnipeg © 2012 Copyright by Stephen Pratte Abstract The relationship between transportation and economic development is well documented. Two requirements indispensable to this relationship are access (ability to reach a place) and connectivity (relationship of the place to others). The interaction of people and markets via transportation infrastructure facilitates trade and increased social interaction; all vital for development. This thesis examines the nature of access and connectivity of the multi-modal transport network (i.e. road, rail, water and air modes) of Northern Manitoba, a study area characterized by many small communities distributed in a vast area, with some having no year-round overland access, forcing them to rely on the seasonally constructed winter road system. Models of the four modal networks (graph theory) are used to analyze the transportation ’s structure, accessibility and connectivity for specific points in time with a view to network understand network change. Recommendations are offered that would facilitate the integration of transportation planning. i Acknowledgements Several acknowledgements of gratitude are required of those who guided the production of this thesis. First, to my thesis and program advisor Dr. Daniel Todd, whose insight and perspectives on the spheres of transport and development, and the ongoing discussions thereof, have been invaluable, both from a research and professional perspective.
