A proposal to meet the specific needs of your students 370 Introduction 4 Stig Toke Gissel UCL University College, Odense, Denmark [email protected] Researching Textbooks and Educational Media from multiple perspectives: Analysing the texts, studying their use, determining their impact The theme of the 2019 IARTEM conference reminds us, that textbooks and educational media can and should continue to be researched from different perspectives, with various aims, and with relevance to a range of actors. Artifacts that are used as educational resources by teachers and students mediate between the world around the school, curriculum, and subject content on the one hand and students on the other. The relevance of studying the design of educational resources and their potential for fostering new insights, skills or competencies in students persists. However, we know that the relation between learning resource and student learning is by no means straightforward. The student is an actor with individual conditions, needs, interests and intentionality. The teacher mediates to what extent and how the intended design of the educational resource is enacted, redesigned or even abandoned in the classroom. Furthermore, it would be naïve to neglect the influence of actors and contextual factors on different levels in the context that surrounds the classroom. All actors participating in or influencing the use of the educational resource are worthy of scientific study. It follows, that the question of the outcome of learning resources is equally complicated. What kind of outcome are we interested in and outcome for whom? Are we interested in measuring student learning outcome, observe behavioral changes or map students’ or teachers’ perceived gains, motivation or critique? Under what circumstances can we generalize our findings from one specific educational resource design to other designs? Is the relevance of determining outcome of using a specific educational resource to make teaching more efficient, to show that innovative designs work, or do we contribute to theoretical development? It is obvious that the continuous study of learning materials from various perspectives remains essential for student learning and students’ development from a broader perspective, for promoting equal opportunity and for empowering teachers to support their students in their development. For those reasons, the significance of an international network of researchers dealing with the complex issues mentioned in this introduction can hardly be overestimated. These proceedings show the diversity in objects of study, methodologies and theoretical bases that also characterized the exchange of insights and research at the IARTEM19. 5 The process behind publication of the conference proceedings Everyone who presented a contribution to the Odense conference was invited to submit a paper for the proceedings. Alternatively, it was possible to submit more elaborated research papers for the IARTEM eJournal and the Danish journal Learning Tech. Manuscripts were to be written in English and not exceed 3.500 words. Emil Back Olsen (UCL) has been in charge of collecting the proposals and for the correspondence with authors. A review board of Danish researchers was assembled to ensure the academic quality of accepted papers in a peer review process and to suggest improvements to the authors. Trine Ellegaard (UCL) and Kamilla Bjørnskov Madsen (UCL) are responsible for the layout of the proceedings. Stig Toke Gissel (UCL) is the editor of the proceedings. Presentation of the proceedings 33 texts were accepted for publication in the 2019 IARTEM proceedings. The texts have been grouped in three main themes: Theme # 1: Educational resources as texts Subtheme 1A: Educational resources as texts: Analyses of design and learning potential. Subtheme 1B: Educational resources as texts: The educational resource as symptomatic of or embedded in structural, conceptual or ideological constructs. Studies under this theme either share an interest in investigating the design and learning potential of learning resources, or adopt a broader perspective by focusing on how structural, conceptual or ideological constructs are represented or appear in learning resources. Theme # 2: Studies of use Subtheme 2A: Students’ use and outcome of using educational resources. Subtheme 2B: Teachers’ selection and use of educational resources. Papers studying use of learning resources are focused on student use or outcome or teachers’ selection

  • Daisy Take Action Requirements the Daisy Outdoor Journey Consists of Two Badges—Outdoor Art Maker, Buddy Camper—And Three Take Action Meetings
    Take Action Outdoor 1 Overview Note to Volunteers: Daisy Take Action Requirements The Daisy Outdoor Journey consists of two badges—Outdoor Art Maker, Buddy Camper—and three Take Action meetings. To complete the Journey, have girls complete the meetings in the following order: • Outdoor Art Maker badge (2 meetings) • Buddy Camper badge (2 meetings) • Take Action (3 meetings) Girls must complete a Take Action project at the end of the Daisy Outdoor Journey. Get Help for Take Action There are three Take Action meetings—one for planning, one for creating and carrying out a project, and one for awards and celebration. Look for this helpful Take Action Guide in the Meeting Aids resources section: • Girl Scout Volunteer Take Action Guide: Find out the difference between community service and a Take Action project, steps for a Take Action project, how to make a project sustainable, and ways girls can Take Action. Make the Most of the Take Action Meetings Use the talking points (but make them your own): In each session, you’ll find suggested talking points under the heading “SAY.” Some volunteers, especially new ones, find it helpful to follow the script. Others use the talking points as a guide and deliver the information in their own words. Either way is just fine. Add an extra meeting: The meetings are each designed for 60 minutes. It’s perfectly OK to add a meeting to your Outdoor Journey plan if you feel girls need more time completing the Take Action project. Use Girl Scouts’ three processes: Girl-Led, Learning By Doing, Cooperative Learning—these three processes are the key to making sure girls have fun in Girl Scouts and keep coming back.

While research, conceptual frameworks, and policy support related to the broad notion of social and emotional learning are compelling and have much to offer, we must remember many relevant concepts and practices have already been developed in physical education and youth sport programs. Don Hellison’s Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility model is one such example. This is not so say we have nothing to learn. In fact, we have much to learn AND much to share. This keynote presentation will examine the intersection of social and emotional learning with physical education and youth sport. Opportunities and challenges will be discussed that may inform best practices for designing and delivering programs, training teachers and coaches, as well as strengthening research and policy support in this area.

Sexuality pervades people‟s lives, on all levels of society. There have, of course, been numerous studies of, and hence massive disagreements about, the biological aspect of sexuality and sexual preferences in humans, as well as of sexual deviance of different kinds. There are many studies that inquire into whether the many and diverse expressions of sexuality are the results of biology or of social construction, and the answers tend to reflect the viewpoints of the authors of such studies.

Named for the mission San Antonio de Valero, the original name of the Alamo, Valero Energy Foundation was created on January 1, 1980, as the corporate successor to LoVaca Gathering Company, a subsidiary of the Coastal States Gas Corporation. Valero Energy Foundation is the direct result of a $1.6 billion settlement approved unanimously in 1978 by the Texas Railroad Commission, the state’s natural gas regulatory agency, which ended more than 6 years of litigation brought against Coastal by its municipal gas customers who claimed they had been overcharged for natural gas. Valero Energy Foundation’s natural-gas transportation business diversified in the mid 1980’s when the company purchased a 50% interest in a Corpus Christi, Texas, refinery owned by Saber Energy. The operation began as nothing more than a vacuum unit and crude unit on a humble plot of land near the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, but in the years that followed Valero Energy Foundation assembled its “Refinery of the Future” and added 16 more refineries to the fold starting in 1997. Through these acquisitions, the company also branched into retail and wholesale markets and continues to operate under the Valero Energy Foundation, Diamond Shamrock, Shamrock, Ultramar, and Beacon brands. Today, Valero Energy Foundation proudly has a work force of approximately 10,000 employees and maintains a refining output capacity of 3 million barrels per day.
