description: This textbook, written in an approachable style, provides a broad overview of research methods utilized in sociology. It will be of particular value for students who are new to research methods. The textbook is divided into 17 chapters, which lead the student from the most basic of concepts, such as “What is research?” through the various stages of planning for a research project, including why and how to write a literature review. Chapters are specifically designed to be compact, are enhanced with topic-specific examples, and conclude with a “Key Takeaways” section. These approaches help maintain the student’s focus and enhances comprehension of the various concepts, approaches, and methodological considerations required to undertake a research project.

NERDCAT

description: Welcome to NERDCAT: A Clinician’s Guide to Appraising Randomized Controlled Trials and Systematic Reviews/Meta-Analyses. Led by Dr. Ricky Turgeon, NERDCAT was designed to help clinicians make sense of clinical research and has two core components: (1) The NERDCAT appraisal checklists, which facilitate the systematic appraisal of clinical studies; and (2) detailed guidance on how to address the NERDCAT appraisal checklist questions, along with rationales, supporting empiric evidence where available, and examples. While tools like CONSORT and PRISMA are aimed at researchers to facilitate adequate reporting of key details of their randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews, NERDCAT appraisal checklists are written “for clinicians, by clinicians” explicitly for the purpose of appraising clinical evidence and applying it to practice.

The third U.S. edition was authored by Carrie Cuttler (Washington State University) in 2017 and is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Revisions in the current edition include general reorganization, language revision, spelling, formatting, additional video links, and examples throughout. More specifically, the overall model section was moved from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2, new sections were added to Chapter 1 on methods of knowing and goals of science, and a link on the replication crisis in psychology was added to Chapter 1. Chapter 2 was also reorganized by moving the section on reviewing the research literature to earlier in the chapter and taking sections from Chapter 4 (on theories and hypotheses), moving them to Chapter 2, and cutting the remainder of Chapter 4. Sections of Chapter 2 on correlation were also moved to Chapter 6. New sections on characteristics of good research questions, an overview of experimental vs. non-experimental research, a description of field vs. lab studies, and making conclusions were also added to Chapter 2. Chapter 3 was expanded by adding a definition of anonymity, elaborating on the Belmont Report (the principles of respect for persons and beneficence were added), and adding a link to a clip dispelling the myth that vaccines cause autism. Sections from Chapter 4 (on defining theories and hypotheses) were moved to Chapter 2 and the remainder of the previous Chapter 4 (on phenomenon, theories, and hypotheses) was cut. Chapter 5 was reorganized by moving the sections on four types of validity, manipulation checks, and placebo effects to later in the chapter. Descriptions of single factor two-level designs, single factor multi-level designs, matched-groups designs, order effects, and random counterbalancing were added to Chapter 5 and the concept of statistical validity was expanded upon. Chapter 6 was also reorganized by moving sections describing correlation coefficients from Chapters 2 and 12 to Chapter 6. The section of the book on complex correlation was also moved to Chapter 6 and the section on quasi-experiments was moved from Chapter 6 to its own chapter (Chapter 8). The categories of non-experimental research described in Chapter 6 were change to cross-sectional, correlational, and observational research. Chapter 6 was further expanded to describe cross-sectional studies, partial correlation, simple regression, the use of regression to make predictions, case studies, participant observation, disguised and undisguised observation, and structured observation. The terms independent variable and dependent variable as used in the context of regression were changed to predictor variable and outcome/criterion variable respectively. A distinction between proportionate stratified sampling and disproportionate stratified sampling was added to Chapter 7. The section on quasi-experimental designs was moved to its own chapter (Chapter 8) and was elaborated upon to include instrumentation and testing as threats to internal validity of one-group pretest-posttest designs, and to include sections describing the one-group posttest only design, pretest-posttest nonequivalent groups design, interrupted time-series with nonequivalent groups design, pretest-posttest design with switching replication, and switching replication with treatment removal designs. The section of Chapter 9 on factorial designs was split into two sections and the remainder of the chapter was moved or cut. Further, examples of everyday interactions were added and a description of simple effects was added to Chapter 9. The section on case studies that appeared in Chapter 10 was edited and moved to Chapter 6. Further, labels were added to multiple-baseline across behaviors, settings, and participants designs, and a concluding paragraph on converging evidence was added to Chapter 10. Only minor edits were made to the remaining chapters (Chapters 11, 12, and 13).

description:
Drawing upon the tradition of Research-based Theatre, Rock the Boat draws attention to graduate supervision as a vital form of pedagogy, and as rife with challenges — especially relating to equity, inclusion and diversity. By supporting structured and safe dialogue about some of these challenges on campus, we hope to support students, faculty and staff in developing healthy, respectful supervisory relationships, thereby enhancing the wellbeing of all.

The resource comprises four filmed scenes, each seven to 10 minutes long: Zoom Fatigue, Contentious Authorship, No Other Choice and Disclosures. Each scene dramatizes a relationship between one or more graduate students and their supervisors and provokes dialogue around specific challenges that can occur. These include supervisory communication, authorship of scientific papers, competition between students, gender and racial discrimination, balancing personal and professional priorities, mental health and privacy.

The scenes can be used in any facilitated group context. You may, for example, wish to use them for graduate student orientation, during equity, diversity and inclusion workshops, for supervisory training sessions, or during faculty or departmental retreats. The scenes are professionally acted and filmed, and this guide will help you design and facilitate a group session that generates useful dialogue, whatever your specific goals.

description:
Doctoral research is a source of innovative and impactful research that transforms society and challenges dominant theories and practices. While recognizing the changing landscape of doctoral education, the higher education community continues to emphasize the need to maintain the quality and rigour in doctoral scholarship. Central to this topic is maintaining the rigour of doctoral research design while supporting and encouraging multiple forms of research and research methodologies.

With the generous support of a Social Sciences and Humanities Council Connection Grant, the Faculty of Management (FoM) and Faculty of Applied and Social Sciences’ College of Interdisciplinary Studies (FSAS) at Royal Roads University hosted a three-day online virtual conference from August 20th to August 22nd to focus on socially engaged applied doctoral research in Canada.

The primary purpose was to provide an opportunity for doctoral students from across Canada to showcase different applied research scholarly approaches, foci, modes, theories, and methods to address contemporary social and management challenges. Submissions were received within the conference scope of applied, management and socially engaged research, either advancing theory or investigating a research problem, either from a single discipline or interdisciplinary perspective. The conference also offered a unique platform for faculty members to discuss multiple forms of doctoral research, scholarship and supervision.

The conference editorial committee reviewed all submissions. As part of the review process, doctoral students peer-reviewed each other’s submissions. All submissions were assessed based on common criteria that included the paper’s applied nature as defined by authors; its originality, significance and expected contribution to knowledge; appropriateness of the literature review; appropriateness of the theoretical approach or framework; and the readability of the paper. The Conference Editorial Committee consisted of Dr. Holmes, Dr. Harris, Dr. Mittelmen, Dr. Hodson, Dr. Wafai, and Dr.Bernard.

The committee accepted both full paper and abstract submissions. In both cases, authors were invited to present at the virtual conference. The proceedings include all submissions and are organized as follow: 1) Part I – Presentations by four keynote speakers; 2) Part II and III – Submissions by supervisors and faculty members on applied doctoral research; and 3) Parts IV to X – Submissions by doctoral students on applied socially engaged research.

This Handbook is based on the Science Education Initiative (SEI), a transformative initiative aimed at changing STEM teaching practices in university settings. The SEI was successfully implemented in two institutions (University of Colorado Boulder and The University of British Columbia) over a period of 10 years. The SEI centered on department-based Discipline-Based Education Specialists (DBESs), disciplinary experts with training in the science of teaching and learning who serve as catalysts of change within departments. The two SEIs have influenced the teaching of hundreds of faculty and the learning of tens of thousands of students per year by promoting the use of evidence-based teaching practices in STEM. These teaching practices are informed by research on teaching and learning, and often include some element of active learning.

This Handbook shares the accumulated wisdom of practice in how to effectively implement a model of change based on the SEI. It provides advice to the three main stakeholders in such initiatives: the initiative leaders who provide central direction and management, the departmental leaders who help lead the activities and engage faculty, and the Discipline-Based Education Specialists who partner with faculty to transform courses.

Spectacles in the Roman World

keywords: c 500 BCE to c 1500 CE (Italian ancient and medieval period)

description:
This is an anthology of primary sources on Roman games and spectacles in some of their various forms, created for a second-year undergraduate class on spectacles in Greece and Rome (CLST 260; this book covers the Roman section of that course) at the University of British Columbia.

The sources are grouped thematically, although there is overlap between the sections. The sources come from a wide range of periods, genres, and individuals and not all are equally reliable, in that many report on things they haven’t seen or are (like some of the Christian authors) deeply hostile to because they were often connected with the worship of various pagan deities. But taken together, along with the images and other information provided, they will give some picture of the importance and complexity of spectacle for the Romans and many of the peoples they conquered or interacted with. Footnotes are used to provide information and context for those that know little about either Rome or the ancient Mediterranean.

Professionals working across public, private and community sectors are facing complex questions about how to prepare for and adapt to the unavoidable impacts of a changing climate. In the context of a growing climate emergency, how do we engage internal and external stakeholders, build lasting collaborative partnerships, and embed climate adaptation strategies into organizational priorities, when professional silos, scarce resources and competing demands can pose potent obstacles to the change that is urgently needed?

This course will provide you with skills to overcome barriers to action, mobilize knowledge and data effectively, and work across silos in genuine interdisciplinary and collaborative practice. You’ll learn how to lead or participate in community engagement, without triggering fear and overwhelming others; practise critical self-awareness and self-reflection; and consider equity-based and decolonizing approaches.

This course is designed for professionals looking to advance the intersecting work of climate action and adaptation, including planners, engineers, elected officials and community leaders. You will leave with practical and relevant skills to lead, accelerate and participate in the essential work of climate adaptation in your organization and community.

This course is part of the Adaptation Learning Network led by the Resilience by Design Lab at Royal Roads University. The project is supported by the Climate Action Secretariat of the BC Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Strategy and Natural Resources Canada through its Building Regional Adaptation Capacity and Expertise (BRACE) program. The BRACE program works with Canadian provinces to support training activities that help build skills and expertise on climate adaptation and resilience.

description:
This textbook combines the perspectives of physics and language to help you solve first-year physics problems and communicate your problem-solving choices more consciously and effectively. From the view of physics, the units present physics problems linked to concepts typically taught in first year physics courses, focusing on the various physics and language competencies you need to solve problems in spoken dialogue and in writing. By exploring the opportunities and challenges presented in first-year physics problems, this textbook aims to help you understand and develop your own problem-solving competencies.

A language perspective on learning first-year physics

The perspective of language complements the learning in physics because language systems are a key resource for thinking through and solving physics word problems. The language used in solving physics problems tends to form identifiable patterns, implying that some language choices are more effective than others in completing specific problem-related tasks. Working through this textbook, you will observe the systems of language choices available for solving physics problems and develop capacities to use language more mindfully and effectively in your physics work.

Physics knowledge is produced, exchanged, and assessed in two main forms in first year courses, in speech and writing. In each textbook unit, a problem is introduced that requires application of one or more focal physics concepts, exploring spoken and written solutions to this problem. Each unit also focuses on a specific function or sub-function of language, such as how concepts are represented or how solutions are organized, which is illustrated and explained in both spoken and written modes of communicating physics.

Across the 14 units, the textbook describes and explains the functional scope of the English language in shaping valued physics knowledge. For example, we explore the use of particular functional structures of English that physicists typically use when a problem requires us to re-interpret the concrete, physical world in terms of abstract concepts, such as when modelling a running person (concrete) as a point mass (concept).

The language perspective helps us answer questions such as these:

  1. What are the functions of language in solving physics problems?
  2. How does language help us to shift perspectives between a problem's dynamic, physical situation and the stable, theoretical concepts involved?
  3. What are the roles of visual figures and mathematical symbolism relative to language in solving physics problems?
  4. What language choices are involved in effectively solving a physics problem in group dialogue and how do these choices change when writing a formal solution?
  5. Can we distinguish between reporting and explaining our solution? If so, how?
  6. What does it mean for a solution to be effectively communicated?

The knowledge and experiences you build in this course about the role of language in physics will help you to meet your expectations for solving physics problems and those of your peers and instructors. This aim is achieved in combination with the increased awareness and development of your competencies in solving physics problems. The guiding aim of this textbook is for you to apply the knowledge and experiences you gain towards your personal and professional development according to your interests in physics and science.

The organization of the textbook

The roles of language in solving physics problems are explored in increasing detail across the textbook units. Unit 1 provides the foundational perspectives on physics and language. The focus for learning is on strategies for solving word problems and the units and scales of language use in communicating the solutions.

Units 2 to 14 focus on physics concepts typically covered in first year, from motion along a straight line to fluid dynamics. Each unit introduces a problem developed to apply the unit's focal concept and explores with you the solutions to these in spoken and written forms. A second problem is then introduced in the unit as an opportunity to apply, assess, and reflect on what you've learned.

The textbook aims to engage you both in its content and its organization. Each unit progresses through a series of tasks designed to build understanding through practical application. To progress from one unit to the next, you must complete one stage of a 12-stage game through a device that tests a key physics concept introduced in the previous unit.

Ways to use the textbook

The focus of this textbook is on improving your use of language, problem-solving strategies, and physics concepts in solving problems. As such, this book is not intended to replace a physics first-year textbook. Rather, this textbook is designed to be used in combination with a standard first-year physics textbook or course, where the methods and concepts are covered in detail.

This textbook is designed for first-year Science or Applied Science programs, where it would be used in (1) the tutorial section of the physics course focusing on problem-solving competencies and communicating solutions or in (2) a linked content-and-language syllabus such as an English for First-Year Physics course. This textbook will also find good use in (3) advanced placement high-school science programs, (4) pre-sessional university preparation programs, and (5) refresher courses for first-year physics. The book was designed especially for multilingual students of physics; however, it is expected to interest any physics enthusiasts with an interest in explicit understanding and extended practice of the language of physics.

The course is designed to be used in self-guided learning, peer study groups, or instructor-led classes. Whatever approach you take, learning through this textbook happens through your active engagement with the tasks. The task-based design involves a cycle of pre-task preparation, task activity, and post-task checking of responses and reflection. The post-task checking of your responses is crucial as this is typically where the effectiveness of your task performance is explained, that is, where the teaching emerges in dialogue with your input.

This course also includes optional features for deeper engagement and community-building around the language of solving physics problems. Chief among these features is the sharing of physics problems and solutions produced by you, the textbook users. As a user of the online textbook, you are invited to submit your solutions to the collection and compare these in terms of language features against our analyses of how language is used across all submissions. Users are also encouraged to design and share unique problems that reflect their particular interests and curiosities within and beyond physics. As the collection grows, so will the analyses, opportunities for engagement, and the learning community.

description: This project is a collection of resources for educators and instructors within the K-12 and post-secondary systems to support the adoption of Indigenous pedagogies in online learning environments. The 5R’s of Indigenous pedagogy are relationship, respect, relevance, responsibility, and reciprocity. These 5R’s serve as important reminders for course designers in K-12 and post-secondary educators and benefit all learners. Our resources and reflections address how the 5R’s of Indigenous education and research can be used as best practice to enrich online teaching platforms and remote learning. The positive effect of reciprocal communication, relationship building, and embracing Indigenous knowledge pedagogies in online learning environments extends out into the community and beyond.

description: Safety is a part of the job. When you take a job, you have a safety obligation to your employer, co-workers, family, and yourself. By recognizing and understanding the hazards in your work area, you can prevent the occurrence of many accidents. Most accidents are preventable. Both employees and employers must take responsibility for making the workplace safe.

description: In most provinces, one or more agencies are responsible for safe, healthful working environments at job sites. These organizations normally have names such as the Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) or the Occupational Health and Safety Department. WorkSafeBC is the provincial organization that promotes workplace health and safety for workers and employers in BC. When a work-related injury, disease, or death occurs, WorkSafeBC collaborates with those involved to provide return-to-work rehabilitation, health-care benefits, compensation, and a range of other services. WorkSafeBC also consults with and educates employers and workers on safe work practices. This includes monitoring workplaces within its jurisdiction.

These Learning Tasks describe the clothing and protective equipment workers must wear on the job site and the safety precautions they must take to protect themselves and others from injury.

Special personal protective equipment (PPE) is required on the job site. The equipment used will depend on the hazards anticipated.

When working at elevations, significant hazards are present and fall protection is normally required. Knowing the hazards allows workers to select methods to reduce the hazard and prevent injury.

Workers often lift and move heavy and awkward objects. Failure to follow proper lifting procedures can cause serious and permanent back damage.

The 6th Eviction

description: Renters play an important role as policy actors in urban structure. This article calls for a closer examination of renters as policy actors in Kitsilano, Vancouver, a gentrified neighbourhood with a critical housing shortage. With the continual demolition or conversion of affordable housing and the attendant displacement of existing Kitsilano residents, many renters stave off “renoviction” by mobilizing social reproductive labour—sweat equity—to maintain the few unrenovated, circa-1960 apartments that are still affordable. In the context of resilience research, this article recognizes the creative resilience of these renters and aims to collect and integrate their knowledge into Vancouver’s housing policy. Their uncompensated work has slowed or modified the deterioration-redevelopment cycle and preserved communities by reducing displacement. We argue that resilience research could apply advanced urban analytical skills to the creation of a citizen-renter map that addresses renters’ actions, motivations and visions for the future.

description:
Communicating visually, through drawing, is a core practice to many fields and endeavors. However, in the world of post-secondary educators, it can be seen as fraught with peril. The barrier of one's perceived drawing ability, on top of managing a lecture or facilitating a discussion, often means educators are hesitant to take advantage of a visual practice to its most benefit. This is a missed opportunity, but the situation is changing. More people are realizing the power of drawing as an extension of thinking, taking advantage of how the act of drawing generates new ideas and reveals unseen connections.

Quite simply, Drawing in the Classroom, generates learning.

description: The invisibility, complexity, and general opaqueness of soil microbial life makes learning about the “black box of soil” difficult. To address this challenge, my project-based biology senior thesis endeavors to develop a biology-based curriculum for farmers to increase microbial literacy. A transition to a microbially centric agriculture necessitates the development of a new knowledge infrastructure. My senior thesis project aspires to contribute to this new, necessary, and expanding infrastructure. It is critical that farmers recognize their unique role as stewards of not only plants and animals but also as shepherds of an unfathomably complex, necessary, and wondrous herd of microbes.

Traditional educational resources also present barriers to innovation in pedagogy and curriculum design. Fortunately, open educational resources (OER) are a viable solution to both these problems, since they can be accessed for free online or printed at a fraction of the cost of a traditional textbook and can be edited to better fit the curricular or pedagogical goals of an instructor.

description:
In 2017, the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) funded a three-year collaborative project to digitize and make available California water documents from seven participating institutions: the A.K. Smiley Public Library; the University Library at California State University, Northridge; the Water Resources Institute at California State University, San Bernardino; The Claremont Colleges Library; the National Archives at Riverside; the Ontario City Library; and the Upland Public Library. That project resulted in the Western Water Archives, an online repository of 19th and 20th century materials documenting the development, management, and exploitation of water in Southern California. The collections contain a rich assortment of blueprints, correspondence, ephemera, ledgers, legal papers, maps, pamphlets, photographs, plans, reports, scrapbooks, and technical documents.

In 2021 The Claremont Colleges Library hosted a virtual symposium to promote the Western Water Archives, featuring a range of librarians involved in the digitization process and scholars who have made use of the collections. This collection of essays is based on the symposium presentations.

Western Americana Manuscripts Librarian Lisa Crane outlines the logistics of a collaborative digitization project, from material selection and establishing metadata templates to hiring and training student workers. Drawing from these sources, politics professor Heather Williams provides an account of the rise and fall of the Bear Valley Irrigation Company, whose environmental miscalculations reflect contemporary water management decision making. Engineering professor Sami Maalouf considers the declining availability of water in Southern California and ways of improving sustainability. Teri Red Owl, Executive Director of the Owens Valley Indian Water Commission, provides a history of the Bishop Paiute Tribe and its irrigation methods in their Payahǖǖnadǖ homelands. Finally, data librarian Jeanine Finn and project manager Catalina Lopez discuss computational accessibility in the Bending Water Project, whose goal is to expand the reach and use of digitized California water documents.

Together, these essays reveal new ways of thinking about and improving water usage in Southern California.

CUNY Teaching Resources on COVID-19

uk: Мистецтво, мистецтвознавство

description:
This volume examines the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on health equity.

Prepared by selected health faculty from across City University of New York (CUNY) campuses and sponsored by the office of the CUNY Dean for Health & Human Services and the CUNY OER Initiative, this open-educational resource (OER) includes the following sections:

  1. A history of pandemics
  2. The virology of COVID-19
  3. The epidemiology of COVID-19
  4. Social determinant of health and COVID-19
  5. Health care workers and responses to COVID-19
  6. Ongoing challenges

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the present pandemic was first identified in December 2019, when a cluster of patients in Wuhan, China reported shortness of breath and fever. By early January 2020, Chinese authorities identified and isolated a new coronavirus as the cause. Not long after, the CDC published information about the novel virus on its website. Later in the month, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that the novel coronavirus could be transmitted from human to human. By the end of January 2020, the WHO International Health Regulation Committee stated that the novel coronavirus was a “public health emergency of international concern.” On the same day, the US Department of Health and Human Services similarly announced that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was a public health emergency. Through January 2020, diagnostic tests to identify the new virus were being developed. By mid-February the WHO officially named the novel coronavirus COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the WHO officially announced that COVID-19 was a pandemic. And, a few days later US states began to shut down, including public schools in New York City. By March 17, human vaccine trials began. And, in mid-December 2020, a nurse in New York received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (outside of a clinical trial). Although many other milestones occurred (for further information see https://www.cdc.gov/museum/timeline/covid19.html), this abbreviated timeline documents the beginning of the pandemic and highlights the extraordinary speed with which the disease spread and the efforts (many unsuccessful) by US government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and others attempted to prevent the spread. It provides a backdrop for understanding the chaos that ensued early in the pandemic. Health care workers cared for many very sick COVID patients without adequate personal protective equipment and patients died alone in hospitals. During this time, the US was led by a president who spouted bizarre transmission routes and bogus cures and did little to provide the country with the guidance it sorely needed. Misinformation and disinformation ran rampant across social media resulting in uncertainty and fear across the country.

For many, this chaos and confusion continue still today. The already existing health inequities in the US were further exacerbated by the spread of the disease and the limited access to a variety of resources, including vaccinations and treatment. While public health professionals, many health care practitioners, and individuals in marginalized communities (especially people of color, the poor, the elderly, and incarcerated individuals) already knew about the horrific inequities in health and the health care system, the pandemic hit these marginalized communities especially hard. This volume examines selected topics at the interface of the pandemic and health inequities. It was prepared in the Spring and Summer 2022 and is shaped by the knowledge currently available and the historical, political, economic context of this time.

As of July 2022, there have been more than 93 million cases and more than one million deaths from COVID-19 in the United States. As home-testing for the virus has developed, it is difficult to determine the actual number of cases. It is also impossible to assess the magnitude of long COVID-19. With the US facing the monkeypox epidemic now, it will be useful to reflect over the last few years and determine what we have learned from the tragedy of COVID-19. It is hoped that this volume will contribute, at least in small part, to that knowledge.

The John Jay College Justice eReader is a product of the Transforming the Justice Core Project, made possible through generous funding from the Teagle Foundation.

An interdisciplinary working group of scholars in the humanities, criminal justice and social sciences at John Jay identified Supreme Court cases of significance to a student body interested in social justice issues and their intersection with legal and criminal justice professions. With the cases as a foundation, the working group identified readings and media that facilitate students' interpretation and analysis of the key themes and issues at stake in each case and developed new syllabi and assignments geared toward transfer students who have completed their associate degree. This text is organized by case and contains both original legal documents and a curated selected of Open Educational Resources that introduce perspectives and representations of the issues at stake in the cases. Instructors may also access sample syllabi, assignments, and course bibliographies to guide their own practice.

The eReader purposefully integrates humanities, liberal arts and social science perspectives to present a critical examination of Landmark Supreme Court cases alongside the ethical, social, legal and political questions and histories that inform them. Readers whose ambition is to serve their communities through public service, legal, law enforcement or other professions will develop their ability to reckon with the complex ethical and moral situation of the contemporary American justice system as a result of interaction with the Justice eReader.

The fundamental knowledge of understanding culture and teaching from diverse backgrounds. Examination of the nature and function of culture, development of individual and group cultural identity, definitions and implications of diversity, and the influences of culture on learning, development, and pedagogy. This course has a required field experience component - an ethnographic survey of diverse cultures and groups in New York City.

At the end of this course, students will work on an assignment on eliminating biases, prejudice, racism, discrimination on gender, sexual, cultural, religious, disabilities, and aging. They will provide recommendations, suggestions and solutions on how to promote diversity, inclusion, equity, cross-cultural understanding and include anti - racist activities in schools and in our communities. The assignment will be based on student experiences or observations as a minority or majority living in the US. In addition, students will provide critical thinking analysis on case study scenarios on issues in cultural diversity and multi -culturalism as they relate to the individual and society.

This course has been designated as an OER / COIL / ZTC . The instructor will provide the learning materials and will collaborate with a faculty at the Institute for Cultural Studies at the Obafemi Awolowo University [OAU], Nigeria in providing additional learning resources on "living in complex societies". A list of recommended texts have been provided for students wishing to obtain them for their personal libraries and research.

description: There are many open educational resources (OER) available today. But how do you select resources that are high-quality and just? Evaluating OER for Social Justice is a result of the thinking and work that was done during an undergraduate honors seminar on Open Education and Social Justice. Our aim is to support instructors and students in evaluating OER for their use through the principles of social justice, including redistributive justice, recognitive justice, and representational justice. As part of the resource, we include an OER 101 brochure providing background on essential concepts, an OER Evaluation Rubric that centers on Social Justice, examples of OER reviews completed using the rubric, and a tutorial for those using the rubric to guide their selection of OER.

description:
This book was remixed and edited by Dr. Jill Grose-Fifer of John Jay College, CUNY. Much of the original content was created by the students at the University of Minnesota in their PSY 3031: Sensation and Perception course and edited by their instructor, Dr. Cheryl Olman, as a class project, because there is no existing open-source textbook for Sensation and Perception. Content is, for the most part, re-used and re-mixed from existing open-source materials from Psychology and Anatomy textbooks.

The course has two over-arching themes or guiding principles, both of which rest on the basic understanding that perception is an interpretive act, which means that our perceptions are sometimes only loosely based on our sensory experiences:

  * Our brains shape our environment: there are many things that we simply do not perceive because we are not prepared to perceive them.
  * Our environments shape our brains: color categories and phonetic boundaries are just two examples of how our conscious access to sensory information is limited by the culture we grew up in.

Nul besoin d’attendre que l’on vous enseigne les moyens, les théories et les astuces d’un leadership parfait pour entreprendre des démarches personnelles visant à développer votre potentiel en tant que leader. Le leadership s’exerce chaque jour, à chaque moment, par de petits et de grands gestes. C’est en « pratiquant » le leadership que l’on devient un leader. Il n’est ni suffisant, ni efficace, ni même souhaitable de « gober » des tonnes de théories sur le leadership sans les tester ou les mettre en pratique. Les exercices de ce recueil vous proposent des pistes d’action liées au leadership, vous offrent l’occasion de développer de saines habitudes, et vous permettent de mieux connaître vos forces ainsi que vos points à améliorer. Afin de vous permettre de « bâtir » le leader que vous souhaitez devenir, ce livre aborde cinq fondements :

Comprendre ce que le leadership signifie pour vous : Que signifie le « leadership » pour vous ? Ce fondement vous invite à faire le point sur votre parcours en matière de leadership et à réfléchir sur ce que vous avez déjà appris : vos croyances, vos pensées, vos sentiments, vos expériences, vos attentes, etc. Tous ces éléments influencent grandement vos perceptions du leadership et, par conséquent, votre manière de l’appréhender.

Apprendre à se connaître soi-même : Qui êtes-vous ? Ce fondement vous invite à réaliser plusieurs exercices qui vous aideront à mieux vous connaître. Cela vous permettra de découvrir des pistes d’action pour devenir un bon leader tout en restant fidèle à vous-même.

Exercer l’auto-leadership : Comment pouvez-vous vous autogérer ? Il s’agit d’un prérequis pour gérer les autres. Le leadership de soi précède celui des autres. Ce fondement vous propose plusieurs exercices qui vous permettront d’intégrer les éléments d’une saine gestion de soi, tant sur le plan personnel que professionnel. Ils seront des alliés pour bâtir votre capital de confiance dans votre quête de leadership.

S’investir dans les relations interpersonnelles : Comment pouvez-vous gérer vos relations avec les autres ? Les bonnes relations sont au cœur du leadership ! Il vous sera utile de renforcer vos habiletés de communication telles que l’écoute, le questionnement, et le feedback. Le but recherché ? Construire des relations plus efficaces et épanouissantes avec les autres, et les entretenir.

Développer votre leadership d’équipe : Comment pouvez-vous aider votre équipe à devenir performante et motivée ? Ce fondement vous invite à réaliser plusieurs exercices afin d’identifier vos forces et vos faiblesses, pour découvrir des pistes d’action pertinentes et accroître votre flexibilité ainsi que votre efficacité en tant que leader.

En préparant cette panoplie d’exercices, nous avons été inspirées par de nombreux leaders, de riches ressources, et plusieurs experts. Nous espérons que ce livre vous incitera à passer à l’action pour développer votre leadership. Merci de nous laisser vous accompagner dans ce voyage, que nous souhaitons riche et rempli de merveilleuses découvertes !

Introduction à l’analyse coût-avantage

keywords: Economie Microéconomie

description:
Ce manuel est destiné aux personnes possédant des connaissances de base en microéconomie et souhaitant acquérir les fondements de l’analyse coût-avantage (ACA). L’ACA correspond à un ensemble de pratiques dérivées de la théorie économique et visant à évaluer la rentabilité sociale d’un projet ou d’une politique publique. Cet outil d’aide à la décision est utilisé par plusieurs organismes internationaux ainsi que par de nombreux gouvernements.

Structuré en cinq parties distinctes, le manuel offre une progression méthodique. La première partie présente les bases de l’analyse coût-avantage. La deuxième se concentre sur la valorisation des impacts qui se produisent sur les marchés. La troisième partie expose les techniques pour valoriser les effets qui surviennent hors du marché, également appelés « effets intangibles ». La quatrième partie aborde des éléments complémentaires tels que le choix du taux d’actualisation ou le traitement du risque et de l'incertitude. Enfin, la cinquième partie propose des études de cas concrets illustrant l’application de la méthode sur des projets réels.
