The Routledge Handbook of Teaching Landscape
Provides a wide-ranging overview of teaching landscape subjects, from geology to landscape design, reflecting different perspectives and practices at university-level landscape curricula. Focusing on the didactics of landscape education, this fully illustrated handbook presents and discusses pedagogy, teaching traditions, experimental teaching methods and new teaching principles. Structured into three parts: reading the landscape, representing the landscape and transforming the landscape. Contributions from leading experts in the field, such as Simon Bell, Marc Treib, Jörg Rekittke and Susan Herrington, explore landscape analysis, history and theory, design visualisation, creativity and art, planning studio teaching, field trips and site engineering.
Successful Science and Engineering Teaching : Theoretical and Learning Perspectives
Describes how a professor can provide a learning environment that assists students to come to grips with the nature of science and engineering, to understand science and engineering concepts, and to solve problems in science and engineering courses. As such, this book is intended to be useful for any science or engineering professor, who wants to change their course to include more effective teaching methods, to instructors at post-secondary institutions, who are beginning their careers, and as a handbook for TA’s. Since the book is based upon articles that I have had published in Science Educational Research and which are grounded in educational research that I have performed (both quantitative and qualitative) over many years, it will also be of interest to anyone engaged in research into teaching science and engineering at the post-secondary level.
Perioperative and Critical Care Medicine : Educational Issues 2005
Continuing medical education and specialty training procedures represent highly dynamical processes, with a continuously evolving content. The specific teaching methods available (micro-teaching, team teaching, mastery learning, simulation, and e-learning) are essential elements of this process to promote professional updating and teaching at the bedside, aimed at providing an excellent clinical practice.
Model Based Learning and Instruction in Science
This book describes new, model based teaching methods for science instruction. It presents research that describes these new methods in a very diverse group of settings: middle school biology, high school physics, and college chemistry classrooms. Mental models in these areas such as understanding the structure of the lungs or cells, molecular structures and reaction mechanisms in chemistry, or causes of current flow in electricity are notoriously difficult for many students to learn. Yet these lie at the core of conceptual understanding in these areas. The studies focus on a variety of teaching strategies such as discrepant questioning, analogies, animations, model competition, and hands on activities.
Intelligent Educational Machines : Methodologies and Experiences
Artificial Intelligence and Education is an ever-growing research area. It uses artificial intelligence tools and techniques to provide the foundations for intelligent tutoring and learning systems. The main concern is taking advantage of computer-based technology to examine, discuss and foster the processes of cognition, learning, teaching and related subjects. This book supports and develops innovative teaching methods and learning systems. The goal of this volume has been to offer a wide spectrum of sample works developed in leading research throughout the world about innovative methodologies of artificial intelligence in education and foundations of engineering educational intelligent systems as well as applications and interesting experiences in the field. The book should be useful both for beginners and experienced researchers interested in applying computational intelligence to the educational process.
Guide to periodontal treatment solutions for general dentistry
A concise textbook on periodontics geared towards dental students, residents, and early career general dentists. Each chapter includes cases and evidence-based practice exercises that illustrate key concepts and enable application of these concepts through independent study or non-lecture based teaching methods. This book is arranged in a logical sequence mirroring the manner in which patients present with periodontal disease, from the initial exam to state-of-the art treatments. The opening chapters cover gingivitis and disease basics, data collection, epidemiology, classification systems, and diagnosis. Subsequent chapters encompass a wide array of nonsurgical and surgical approaches for treating issues such as gum pockets, furcation, gingival recession, mucogingival defects, and tooth mobility, as well as when to refer patients. The latest methods for controlling gingival inflammation are discussed, including scaling and root planing, systemic and local antimicrobial therapy, antiseptics, lasers, and photodynamic therapy
e-Learning, e-Education, and Online Training ; 6th EAI International Conference, eLEOT 2020, Changsha, China, June 20-21, 2020, Proceedings, Part II
Constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on e-Learning, e-Education, and Online Training, eLEOT 2020, held in Changsha, China, in June 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 68 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 141 submissions. They focus on most recent and innovative trends and new technologies in for educational modernization, such as artificial intelligence and big data. The theme of eLEOT 2020 was “Education with New Generation Information Technology”.

Design build with the scarcity and creativity studio
Scarcity and Creativity Studio has developed a teaching method which reaffirms a commitment to architecture as a service to society, questions the idea of the individual creator in favour of collaborative design, and challenges the traditional master-student relationship. This book documents the projects and, in so doing, explains the practices and pedagogic methods which the studio has developed in relation to architecture education in general and design build education in particular. Aimed at students, teachers, and professionals who are exploring the possibilities of design build, the 16 built projects are fully documented in text, drawings, and photos and can be used as both inspiration and references. Projects are based in Norway, Finland, Chile, Ecuador (Galápagos), Kenya, South Africa, China, Argentina, and Lebanon.
