This article provides a critical analysis of Albert Bandura's 1963 paper, "Imitation of Film-Mediated Aggressive Models", which established social learning theory as an explanation for aggressive behavior. It summarizes Bandura's classic "Bobo doll" experiment and the foundations of social learning theory. While praising Bandura's influential work, it also notes shortcomings of the early study. Finally, it explores applications of social learning theory to factors like race, gender, and age, and their implications for understanding human aggression.
The document discusses seeking a poetic discovery or "well of milk" within dense urban spaces through phenomenological inquiry. It references a quote about using poetry to discover something rather than build structures. The authors define a concept of "thick urbanism" as the total qualities perceived within dense urban environments and propose phenomenologically studying these environments from within to uncover poetic discoveries beyond their functional, instrumental aspects.
The document discusses various laws and court cases related to discrimination and education in the US, including desegregation efforts beginning with Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. It also covers student assessment and accountability measures implemented in Texas, such as the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) exam and requirements for adequate yearly progress under the No Child Left Behind Act.
The document discusses how testing helped with migrating to API version 0.6 of OpenStreetMap. It notes some of the key changes in the migration like moving the backend database from MySQL to Postgres and adding foreign keys. It then explains that testing on a development server called "cruise" helped uncover problems with the migration, like invalid translation files and issues with applications that needed to be fixed before full deployment. The document emphasizes that thorough testing was important for the successful migration to the new API version.

This article discusses recent educational reforms in Poland and whether they are making it harder to maintain discipline in schools. The reforms reduced primary school to 6 years and created 3-year junior secondary schools. This likely increases the number of students entering secondary school but also increases the likelihood of mixed-ability classes in junior secondary schools. The article concludes that the reforms make discipline more difficult because mixed-ability classes in junior secondary schools are more probable and further research is needed on classroom management in modern Polish schools.
The document provides guidance on case evaluation and analysis to select the most appropriate homeopathic remedy. It discusses the 7 steps to reach the remedy which include case taking, finding the essential totality, sectarian totalities for disease/patient/person, decision on what to treat, selecting the best remedy, potency selection, and withstanding temptations. It also provides tips for effective repertorization and determining miasmatic constitutions to reach the genetic constitutional remedy.

This document discusses key provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It outlines the history and purpose of IDEA and its predecessor acts. Some of the major statutory provisions discussed include: providing a free appropriate public education for students with disabilities, developing individualized education programs, defining attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ensuring students are placed in the least restrictive environment, funding special education services at private schools, covering related services, and establishing due process protections for students and families.

Kids were given cameras to take photos for the first time. Their photos captured both the harsh realities of poverty, homelessness, drug use, and insecurity in their lives, as well as moments of beauty, hope, and brightness. The photos showed the struggles these impoverished children face each day, but also that they can still see beauty and find hope even in difficult situations.
This document summarizes an academic paper presented at an international conference on language teaching. The paper discusses an approach to ESL/EFL instruction that integrates an understanding of how language varies across communication contexts, uses corpus-based descriptive grammar, and incorporates scaffolded language learning activities based on sociocultural theory. It argues this approach can help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and classroom application for teachers by providing specific models of language use.

The role of the school leader has shifted from a hierarchical, bureaucratic model to one focused on empowering teachers, students, and parents through site-based decision making and professional learning communities. Effective modern school leaders share leadership, empowering teachers to lead initiatives rather than acting as sole problem solvers. They facilitate collaborative decision making and development of a professional learning community focused on continuous improvement.

Geothermal power is generated from heat within the Earth and can be used to heat buildings. There are currently nine geothermal power stations operating in New Zealand, located in areas with geothermal activity like Northland, Bay of Plenty, and Waikato. Geothermal power works by pumping steam or hot water from underground up through pipes to power turbines and generate electricity. Schools in New Zealand could use geothermal power since it is readily available from existing power stations and would provide a cheap heating option.
