Higher education is coming under increasing scrutiny, both publically and within academia, with respect to its ability to appropriately prepare students for the careers that will make them competitive in the 21st-century workplace. At the same time, there is a growing awareness that many global issues will require creative and critical thinking deeply rooted in the technical STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines. However, the existing and ingrained structures of higher education, particularly in the STEM fields, are not set up to provide students with extensive skill development in communication, teamwork, and divergent thinking, which is needed for success in the knowledge economy. In 2011 and again in 2014, an international conference was convened to bring together university leaders, educational policymakers and researchers, and funding agency representatives to discuss the issue of institutional transformation in higher education, particularly in the STEM disciplines. Central to the issue of institutional transformation is the ability to provide new forms of instruction so that students can gain the variety of skills and depth of knowledge they will need. However, radically altering approaches to instruction sets in motion a domino effect that touches on learning space design, instructional technology, faculty training and reward structures, course scheduling, and funding models. In order for one piece to move, there must be coordinated movement in the others, all of which are part of an entrenched and interconnected system. Transforming Institutions brings together chapters from the scholars and leaders who were part of the 2011 and 2014 conferences. It provides an overview of the context and challenges in STEM higher education, contributed chapters describing programs and research in this area, and a reflection and summary of the lessons from the many authors’ viewpoints, leading to suggested next steps in the path toward transformation.Foreword, by Carl Wieman Introduction 1.

Cet ouvrage expose de façon détaillée la pratique de l'approche statistique bayésienne à l'aide de nombreux exemples choisis pour leur intérêt pédagogique. La première partie donne les principes généraux de modélisation statistique permettant d'encadrer mais aussi de venir au secours de l'imagination de l'apprenti modélisateur. En examinant des exemples de difficulté croissante, le lecteur forge les clés pour construire son propre modèle. La seconde partie présente les algorithmes de calcul les plus utiles pour estimer les inconnues du modèle. Chaque méthode d'inférence est présentée et illustrée par de nombreux cas d'applications. Le livre cherche ainsi à dégager les éléments clés de la statistique bayésienne, en faisant l'hypothèse que le lecteur possède les bases de la théorie des probabilités et s'est déjà trouvé confronté à des problèmes ordinaires d'analyse statistique classique. L'analyse bayésienne. La décision en présence d'information. Représentation probabiliste des connaissances. Risque et aide bayésienne à la décision. Comment construire un modèle ? Construire un modèle brique par brique. Le calcul bayésien. Motivations du calcul bayésien. Méthodes exactes et modèles unidimensionnels. Représentations multidimensionnelles. Les méthodes asymptotiques. Simulation Monte Carlo avec indépendance. Algorithme de Metropolis-Hastings. Algorithme de Gibbs. Algorithmes MCMC et par delà. Conclusions. Annexes. Bibliographie. Index.

Pratique du calcul bayésien est né de l'expérience acquise lors des cours donnés en sciences de l'environnement, tant à l'université de Liège (Arlon), qu'à la grande école AgroParisTech (Paris). Son fil conducteur peut se résumer par la locution « de la plume à la souris », tournure empruntée à un opuscule retraçant la vie d'une école fréquentée jadis par le premier auteur. La première partie privilégie les modèles statistiques paramétriques calculables « à la plume » et cependant très riches, tant du point de vue de la présentation des concepts fondateurs du paradigme bayésien, que de leurs applications opérationnelles, notamment en matière d'aide à la décision. Dès le premier chapitre, la représentation du modèle par un graphe acyclique orienté permet de distinguer clairement la phase où la créativité du chercheur s'exprime de celle où il calcule. À cette fin, le logiciel libre WinBUGS sera très utile à l'apprenti modélisateur. La seconde partie présente des applications réelles, plus sophistiquées, qui nécessitent souvent d'introduire une couche de variables latentes entre les observables et les paramètres. Conduire une inférence bayésienne sur ces modèles hiérarchiques implique un recours intensif aux méthodes modernes de calcul et mobilise donc « la souris » de l'ordinateur. Cet ouvrage est dédié aux étudiants et chercheurs qui souhaitent apprendre le calcul bayésien avec des visées opérationnelles. Le lecteur est invité à l'utiliser comme un tremplin lui permettant d'aller aussi loin que son intérêt et/ou ses besoins l'exigent. C'est pourquoi, les treize chapitres offrent un compromis entre la rigueur du langage mathématique et la souplesse de la langue de Molière. Le côté opérationnel est mis en avant. De nombreux exemples, le plus souvent réels, justifient les efforts et illustrent les raisonnements sous-jacents. Les développements théoriques sont donc volontairement limités à l'essentiel et le lecteur désireux de les poursuivre trouvera deux ouvrages de référence publiés dans la même collection.

Un camelot des Grands Boulevards, fatigué de vendre des presse-purée, décide de devenir voyant. Les jeux de tarots et autres boules de cristal étant à la mode, il croit tenir le bon filon. Il sait qu'il ne possède aucun pouvoir surnaturel, mais il espère s'en sortir avec son bagout et ses formules à l'emporte-pièce. Ecrite sur le mode du one man show, cette pièce met en scène un titi parisien à la métaphore assassine qui pensait vivre l'aventure des arts divinatoires en toute insouciance.

La tragédie de la gouvernance noire est une Tragi-comédie en cinq actes qui met en scène la lutte d’un « petit » pays pour la conquête de sa souveraineté au 21é siècle, soixante ans après les indépendances. L’intrigue parcourt les méandres du pouvoir et explore les conséquences d’un coup d’état perpétré par de jeunes soldats iconoclastes et sans complexe, aux accents révolutionnaires. Le junte militaire entend refonder la nation, rompre avec la mauvaise gouvernance et la corruption, mais également avec les pratiques néocoloniales qui perdurent. Des ingérences extérieures qui empêchent le pays de se développer, et qui l’enferment dans un statut de réserves de matières premières destinées aux puissances industrielles. La junte entend également combattre la baronnie locale, soit une caste de profiteurs faite de gens sortis de nulle part, qui ont construit en un temps record, grâce au statut de fonctionnaire, et surtout grâce aux prébendes, des fortunes colossales et des rentes de situation. Face à la réalité, cette entreprise va confiner à la gageure, en raison de la puissance des forces en opposition…

"Paul et Virginie" est un roman emblématique de la littérature française du XVIIIe siècle, écrit par Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre et publié pour la première fois en 1788. Véritable hymne à la nature, à la pureté des sentiments et à l'innocence, ce récit mêle romantisme, exotisme et critique sociale, dans un style à la fois poétique et engagé.L’histoire se déroule sur l’île Maurice (anciennement Île de France), colonie française de l’océan Indien. Paul et Virginie, deux enfants élevés ensemble loin de la société occidentale, grandissent dans un environnement naturel préservé, bercés par les valeurs de simplicité, de tendresse et de respect. Au fil du temps, leur amitié se transforme en un amour pur et sincère, mais le retour de Virginie en métropole bouleversera ce fragile équilibre. Le roman prend alors une tournure dramatique et profondément humaine.À travers ce récit tragique, Bernardin de Saint-Pierre interroge les notions de civilisation, de liberté, de fatalité, mais aussi les injustices sociales et le poids des conventions. Influencé par les idées des Lumières et par Jean-Jacques Rousseau, l’auteur défend une vision idéalisée de l’homme en harmonie avec la nature.Classique incontournable, "Paul et Virginie" séduit par la beauté de ses descriptions, la profondeur de ses émotions et la modernité de sa critique sociale. Ce roman s’adresse aussi bien aux étudiants, enseignants, qu’aux lecteurs passionnés de grands textes romantiques et de littérature sentimentale.

A hilarious and satirically accurate introduction to the United States immigration system from comedian and writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Felipe Torres Medina"A funny, empathetic, and formally inventive guide to the U.S. immigration system." (Kirkus)  /  "A funny book about immigration and sexy centaurs." (Stephen Colbert) Born in Colombia, Felipe Torres Medina moved to the US at the age of 21 and has spent over ten years of his life both navigating the chaos and confusion of the immigration system and explaining that craziness to the clueless Americans around him. There are few subjects that Americans have stronger opinions on. And there are few subjects that they know less about. So, like many immigrants before him, Torres Medina sets out to do the job American-born citizens won’t: make the US immigration process accessible, relatable, and, hey, a little bit funny. With an outsider’s eye, an insider’s affection, and a biting, humorous flair, Torres Medina invites readers from all passport lines to explore the multiple paths and potholes of moving to America, and experience just how many choices it takes to choose a new home.  In this laugh-out-loud book, you will be taken down a multitude of possible immigration stories that range from the kafkaesquely silly to an uproarious good time. Some of them are real things that happened to Felipe—like discovering in an immigration interview that he shares a name with several criminals—and some of them are totally invented and will make you question your sanity. By the end of this handy guide, you’ll learn all you need to know about visas like the H-1B work visa, the infamous 90-day fiancé visa, the so-called Einstein visa, and many more. Remember, the fate of each character’s journey is all in your hands. So choose at your own risk.

Food Stories: Navigating the Academy with Cultural Lessons from the Kitchen is the first volume in the series Culinary Canvas: A Series on Integrating the Arts and Food into Higher Education. The purpose of the series is to explore the innovative integration of arts and food into higher education. Each volume aims to inspire a paradigm shift in academia, advocating for a more holistic, creative, and inclusive approach to learning, teaching, researching, serving, and existing in the academy.In the present volume, Food Stories makes the case that food, and the culture surrounding food, is a closely held--and powerful--reality that shapes who we are as individuals, as members of varied communities, and invariably, informs who we are as educators and researchers. This book gives space for the authors to explore not only the impact that food and culture have had, and continue to have, on them as individuals, how that culture and experiences impact them as members of the academy (in teaching, research, and service), but also in providing some guidance to graduate students and junior faculty. In effect, chapters explore navigating academic work (teaching, research, and service) through the lens of food and the transferable lessons that can be gleaned from our grandmothers’, mothers’, fathers’, and our own kitchens.It is often the case that higher education fosters both imposter syndrome and a workaholic disposition that can be detrimental to teaching and research. What this book does, then, is to not only explore the ways in which what may seem as non-academic work such as cooking a meal can have on our work/life balance but, also, how to incorporate the very lessons of food into who we are as educators, how we teach, and how we can approach the work we do more broadly.Through carefully curated chapters, this text presents a wide array of perspectives across food and cultural regions, as well as imparting insights from the academy from authors spanning the spectrum of the career. It is an important book full of valuable lessons for graduate students, faculty and teachers who wish to use its content in their classrooms.Perfect for courses such as: Cultural Studies; Culturally-Responsive Pedagogy

• How can water and a penny demonstrate the power of mathematics and molecular theory? • Do spelling and punctuation really matter to the human brain? The third of Thomas O’Brien’s books designed for 5–12 grade science teachers, Even More Brain-Powered Science uses the questions above and 11 other inquiry-oriented discrepant events—experiments or demonstrations in which the outcomes are not what students expect—to dispute misconceptions and challenge students to think about, discuss, and examine the real outcomes of the experiments. O’Brien has developed interactive activities—many of which use inexpensive materials—to engage the natural curiosity of both teachers and students and create new levels of scientific understanding. The hands-on activities serve as visual participatory analogies for science education principles related to the nature of science and cognitive learning theory, bridging the gap between practice and theory. Each exploration, along with the related extension activities, can serve as the framework for a series of professional development sessions or complement conventional preservice science textbooks. Each of O’Brien’s easy-to-use chapters includes an expected outcome, an explanation of the science and science education concepts, discussion points, the procedure, and a list of related websites. Whether you are new to the Brain-Powered Science books or are a “brain-powered” professional, this book is sure to create shared entertaining educational experiences for teachers and students.

How do you improve upon perfection? For years, new and experienced elementary school teachers alike have extolled the virtues of Picture-Perfect Science Lessons—the expertly combined appeal of children’s picture books with standards-based science content. The award-winning, bestselling book presents ready-to-teach lessons, complete with student pages and assessments, that use high-quality fiction and nonfictionpicture books to guide hands-on science inquiry. This newly revised and expanded 2nd edition of Picture-Perfect Science Lessons manages to surpass the original. Classroom veterans Karen Ansberry and Emily Morgan, who also coach teachers through nationwide workshops, know elementary educators are usually crunched for science instructional time and could often use refresher explanations of scientific concepts. So the authors added comprehensive background notes to each chapter and included new reading strategies. They still show you exactly how to combine science and reading in a natural way with classroom-tested lessons in physical science, life science, and Earth and space science. And now they offer five brand-new lessons—“Batteries Included,” “The Secrets of Flight,” “Down the Drain,” “If I Built a Car,” and “Bugs!”—bringing the total to 20. Picture-Perfect Science Lessons draws on such diverse—and engaging—books as Dr. Xargle’s Book of Earth Hounds, A House for Hermit Crab, Rice Is Life, Oil Spill!, Sheep in a Jeep, The Perfect Pet, and Weird Friends: Unlikely Allies in the Animal Kingdom. As a result, both reluctant scientists and struggling readers will quickly find themselves absorbed in scientific discovery. You’ll love how effective this book is, and your students will love learning about science.

In the fourth book of this award-winning series, author Richard Konicek-Moran explores 15 new mysteries children and adults encounter in their daily lives. Relating the mysteries to experiences familiar to elementary and middle school students—Party Meltdown examines ice cubes melting at different rates; Baking Bread explores the importance of yeast; Stuck! uses a playground sliding board to explore properties of friction—the stories show how science is part of everyday life and initiate inquiry-based learning by leaving each mystery without an ending. Students identify the problem to be solved, formulate questions, form hypotheses, test their ideas, and come up with possible explanations. The mysteries cover science concepts such as periodic motion, thermodynamics, temperature and energy, and sound and sound transmission. Students may read and discuss the stories in small groups or take turns reading the stories aloud for whole-class discussions. Each story also includes strategies for teaching the lessons to younger students, lists of related ideas from the National Science Education Standards, and related books and journals that can be used to continue the discussion. The author also includes a chapter on using the stories to emphasize the importance of both science and literacy.

Looking at popular culture from 1980 to the present, feminism appears to be "over": that is, according to popular critics we are in an era of "postfeminism" in which feminism has supposedly already achieved equality for women. Not so, says Sarah Projansky. In Watching Rape, Projansky undermines this complacent view in her fascinating and thorough analysis of depictions of rape in U.S. film, television, and independent video. Through a cultural studies analysis of such films as Thelma and Louise, Daughters of the Dust, and She''s Gotta Have It, and television shows like ER, Ally McBeal, Beverly Hills 90210, and various made-for-tv movies, Projansky challenges us to see popular culture as a part of our everyday lives and practices, and to view that culture critically. How have media defined rape and feminism differently over time? How do popular narratives about rape also communicate ideas about gender, race, class, nationality, and sexuality? And, what is the future of feminist politics, theory, and criticism with regard to issues of sexual violence, postfeminism, and popular media? The first study to address the relationship between rape and postfeminism, and one of the most detailed and thorough analyses of rape in 25 years, Watching Rape is a crucial contribution to contemporary feminism.

De nombreux textes officiels ont été signés et publiés dans le domaine éducatif au Cameroun depuis 1945. Comment comprendre alors que ce secteur éducatif, apparemment ancien, demeure encore discret, peu connu et souvent mal compris ? La réforme de ce troisième pilier de l'éducation est-elle envisageable aujourd'hui ? Le domaine de l'Orientation et du Conseil mérite de sortir de son chaos et d'évoluer avec son environnement.

Science teachers face an incredible challenging task of combining research on how students learn best, the three-dimensions of the Science Education Frameworks that in themselves are complicated to understand, and instructional sequences that lead to deeper learning. Activating Students’ Ideas Matter: Linking Formative Assessment Probes to Instructional Sequence is the type of book that stimulates teacher thinking and cultivates teachers’ skills and abilities necessary to take students to higher levels of learning. The beginning chapter of the book, provides teacher candidates, experienced teachers, teacher educators, and professional developers with a framework for developing lessons that promote higher levels of science literacy. The framework that is used throughout the book is an explore-before-explain sequence of instruction using the 5E instructional model. Once teachers have a solid understanding of an explore-before-explain framework, we guide them through planning activities so they can use emerging bodies of research and the Science Education Frameworks to plan their own explore-before-explain lessons. Educators will have many opportunities to think about explore-before-explain teaching and can explore examples of K-5 science lessons. Each chapter addresses the three dimensions of the Frameworks.

Partant de la loi sur la formation professionnelle de septembre 2018 énonçant que « L’action de formation (…) se définit comme… », l’auteur incarne un personnage : « Formation ». Elle va partir en quête d’elle-même, pour vérifier qu’elle peut effectivement se définir. Elle devient alors l’héroïne de cette prospection en partie romancée. A cette fin, ses origines, son histoire, son parcours mis en perspective, ses artisans et partisans, ses enjeux, techniques et outils, son commerce et même ses lieux d’activité vont construire le fil de cet essai critique.  Les argumentaires sont établis sur des données factuelles et objectives, éclairés par une solide expérience de terrain et enrichis d’apports issus de la littérature ou de la philosophie, du cinéma et de la chanson française qui rythme cette narration.  Au-delà du manuel pratique sur la formation professionnelle continue des adultes, il s’agit d’une approche originale et accessible permettant de dresser un état des lieux exhaustif. Les débats qui l’animent sont retracés et les perspectives d’évolution détaillées.

An irreverent, darkly funny, feminist spin on the legend of King Arthur focusing on his runaway daughter, Ysabelle. Perfect for fans of Disenchantment. King Arthur, Britain’s most legendary hero, is now an old drunkard who spends his days slouched on his throne. He owes his former glory to the magic sword Excalibur, which the wizard Merlin forged for him in order to slay the hordes of demons who came to invade the kingdom of Pendragon. That incredible weapon now collects dust—and suffers from a bad case of boredom. Meanwhile, Arthur’s daughter, Princess Ysabelle, is wondering how to flee the marriage her father has arranged with the vile Baron Cumber. Desperate for something different and better, Ysabelle and her father’s sword join hands and set off on a quest to change their fates. But although Ysabelle is brave, she’s never ventured outside before—and the real world is much harsher than life within the palace walls. In order to survive and accomplish her quest, she must rely on Excalibur, as her father did before her. But Excalibur’s intentions may not be as noble as they seem . . .

An Imaginary Cinema is the first systematic study of Sergei Eisenstein''s unrealized films as well as a deeply informed historical and theoretical inquiry into the role and meaning of the unmade in his oeuvre. Eisenstein directed some of the twentieth century''s most important films, from the early classic of montage, Battleship Potemkin, to his late masterpiece, Ivan the Terrible. Alongside these, however, the Soviet filmmaker also toiled over a compelling array of unrealized projects, from ideas that never grew beyond complex, passionate notebook scrawls and sketches to productions that were mounted and shot to some degree of completion without ever being finished. Working from the archival remnants of several of the director''s most fascinating unrealized projects—from his bold vision to film Marx''s Das Kapital to his time in Hollywood struggling to adapt Dreiser''s An American Tragedy—Dustin Condren''s book reveals new aspects of Eisenstein''s genius, showing the filmmaker in a constant state of process, open to working toward impossible and sometimes utopian ends, and committed to the pursuit of creative and theoretical discovery. Condren''s analysis of these unrealized projects in An Imaginary Cinema reveals Eisenstein at crucial moments of his personal and artistic biography, and it also tells the wider story of a canonical artist negotiating the political labyrinths of Stalinist Russia, the economic pitfalls of Hollywood, and the technological shifts of early cinema.

What if you could challenge your eighth graders to help people recognize the inherent risks of living in a region that’s prone to flooding, earthquakes, and volcanoes? With this volume in the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series, you can! The Changing Earth outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K–12 classrooms. This interdisciplinary, six-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to introduce the powerful idea that the Earth is shaped by ongoing geologic processes that can alter our landscape in a short time. The module also helps students appreciate the nature and process of science, including the roles of evidence, conjecture, and modeling. Students will learn about the rock cycle, including how it’s driven by the Sun’s energy and heat from the Earth’s core. To support this goal, students will do the following: • Learn that Earth is a dynamic system, shaped by many geological processes that are driven by energy from the Sun and internally from the Earth. • Build a model to explain the evidence suggesting that the Earth’s surface has changed in the past and will continue to change in the future. This model will include explanatory text as well as visual representations of processes. • Evaluate claims based on provided evidence. • Use mathematics content and skills to collect and analyze data to support or refute a claim, and use appropriate graphics or tables to summarize data. • Create a museum display to explore the geology of an area in North America or Great Britain. Students’ displays will include scale models of influential rock formations in their assigned area and posters about topics such as geology’s impact on culture and community. The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, The Changing Earth can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.

The lessons will help your students do the following: • Explore the role of forces, speed, velocity, momentum, and impact in auto safety. • Reverse-engineer car crash scenarios and pinpoint why accidents happen in the first place. • Present models of car crash scenarios and act as expert witnesses in simulated courtrooms. • Research and evaluate government regulations regarding seat belts and airbags. • Discover the many aspects of the car-safety industry—from crash tests conducted by car manufacturers to the analysis police do at crash sites to the conflicts that can arise between government safety rules and individual rights. The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, Improving Bridge Design can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.
