Secret Teacher: exams have left my students incapable of thinking | Teacher Network. “How many sentences should I write? How big should I draw the diagram? Should I write my own opinion?” These are some of the questions my students asked me this morning. Looking at that sample, you might assume they are in primary school, but you would be wrong. I teach a humanities subject in an “outstanding” sixth-form college in an affluent area. “Is this a thinking lesson?” “What word should I use to start this sentence?” “Er, no…” I responded, “I’m not going to spoon-feed you.” “Oh,” she said. I felt winded. “Which category does that belong to?” “Will this help us in the exam?” “What should my conclusion be?” “Can’t you just tell us the answers?” “There’s no more space to write in the box. “How many examples should we write down?”

What grade have I got for this? Best Swimming Workout: Lose Body Fat in the Pool. Randi Berez A pool might not be the first place you think of going when you're looking to shape up and slim down—but perhaps it should be. No other workout burns calories, boosts metabolism, and firms every muscle in your body (without putting stress on your joints) better than a swimming workout. Look no further than superstar Natalie Coughlin to observe how water can whittle a sexy, sculpted silhouette.

And you don't have to be an Olympic gold medalist to get the perfect body. When researchers at Indiana University compared recreational fitness swimmers with non-swimmers, they found that swimmers of all ages had more lean muscle and trimmer waists and hips. And while swimming may not offer the lace-up-your-shoes-and-go convenience of running, all you need are three key items—swimsuit, cap, and goggles—and you're set to hit the water. Why Water Works The body-shaping benefits of swimming workouts are the result of a perfect storm of calorie burn and muscle recruitment.

En la estructura matricial u organización matricial se organiza por dos criterios a la vez: funciones y productos. Esta estructura puede combinar lo mejor de ambas estructuras. Así, las estructuras matriciales se utilizan con frecuencia a través de equipos de empleados que llevan a cabo el trabajo, con el fin de aprovechar los puntos fuertes, así como compensar las debilidades, de las estructuras funcionales, divisionales y burocráticas donde si no está claro quién es el responsable surgen importantes controversias.

Ventajas e inconvenientes de la estructura matricial Entre las ventajas de una estructural matricial se incluyen: Los individuos pueden ser elegidos de acuerdo a las necesidades del proyecto. Mientras que las desventajas incluyen: Conflictos de lealtad entre los responsables jerárquicos y gerentes de proyecto sobre la asignación de los recursos. Estructura organizacional organigrama. Cinta de moebio - LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE INDICADORES COMO PROBLEMA EPISTEMOLÓGICO. Cinta Moebio N°34:16-36, marzo 2009 Dr. Daniel Gutiérrez (dcgutier@sociales.uson.mx) División de Ciencias Sociales, Universidad de Sonora (Sonora, México) Abstract The construction of indicators does not constitute a smaller epistemological problem, quite the opposite, requires the exigency of a critical way to reflection, to take control and to reconstruct the reality; it requires of monitoring, and permanent ruptures and its corresponding forms to reorganize the thought.

The main problem in the construction of indicators does not have to do with the theory itself or the operation of the concepts. The fundamental question is how someone thinks, how someone takes control and how the object is constructed. The indicators constitute an empirical definition of the object and are product of a theoretical construction of the subject on the phenomenon to discover specific concrete of the object. Keywords: subject-object, epistemological ruptures, indicator, theoretical construction.
