Metaknowledge

Metaknowledge
Metaknowledge or meta-knowledge is knowledge about a preselected knowledge. For the reason of different definitions of knowledge in the subject matter literature, meta-information is or is not included in meta-knowledge. Detailed cognitive, systemic and epistemic study of human knowledge requires a distinguishing of these concepts. but in the common language knowledge includes information, and, for example, bibliographic data are considered as a meta-knowledge. Metaknowledge may be automatically harvested from electronic publication archives, to reveal patterns in research, relationships between researchers and institutions and to identify contradictory results.[2] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]

Pyramide des besoins de Maslow Pyramide des besoins C'est en 1970, dans la deuxième édition de son ouvrage Motivation and Personality, qu'apparaît l'exposé le plus complet de sa théorie de la motivation. Recherchant ce qui se cache derrière ces motivations, il met au jour cinq (groupes de) besoins fondamentaux : les besoins physiologiques, les besoins de sécurité, les besoins d'appartenance et d'amour, les besoins d'estime et le besoin d'accomplissement de soi. Cette taxinomie des besoins est, selon Maslow, universelle. Les besoins s'inscriraient dans le cadre d'une hiérarchie. En conclusion, lorsqu'un groupe de besoins est satisfait un autre va progressivement prendre la place selon l'ordre hiérarchique suivant : besoins physiologiques > besoins de sécurité > besoins d'appartenance et d'amour > besoins d'estime > besoins d'accomplissement de soi. Remarque : lorsqu'un besoin précédent n'est plus satisfait, il redevient prioritaire. l'émergence soudaine des besoins ;la satisfaction absolue des besoins.

New Science Standards: Catalyst for Change? A partnership of 26 states and national organizations released the final Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) last week after working for two years to develop them. The standards—which are internationally benchmarked and based on the National Research Council’s Framework for K–12 Science Education —identify science and engineering practices and content that all K–12 students should master to be prepared for college, careers, and citizenship. The new standards integrate active learning of scientific practices with content to provide context and promote students’ deeper understanding and critical-thinking skills. The standards also emphasize cross-cutting concepts like patterns, cause and effect, and structure and function that bridge all areas of science. As with the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and math, each state will independently decide whether or not to adopt the NGSS.

Students for Free Culture The Concord Consortium | Revolutionary digital learning for science, math and engineering The Top 100 Tools for Learning 2012 list is revealed UPDATE: The Top100Tools Club opening January This year’s Top 100 Tools for Learning list (the 6th Annual Survey) has been compiled from the votes of 582 learning professionals worldwide – 55% working in education, 45% working in non-educational organizations. The top tool for the 4th year running is Twitter, with both YouTube (2nd) and Google Docs (aka Google Drive) (3rd) retaining their places for the 3rd year in succession. Once again the list is dominated by free online social tools. Whilst there is a clear differentiation between the personal/professional tools and the enterprise tools being used by workplace learning professions, in education teachers are frequently making use of the same toolset for both their teaching and their own personal learning. In terms of tool trends, this year’s list has seen an increase in the popularity of curation tools and social magazines for the iPad (like Scoopit, Flipboard and Zite). But now for the complete 2012 Top 100 Tools list.

Historia del Mes | Ciencia Puerto Rico Desde pequeña, la Dra. Larissa Avilés Santa supo que quería estudiar el cuerpo humano. “Cuando estaba en cuarto o quinto grado recuerdo abrir un atlas de anatomía humana, y lo fascinada que estaba con cada ilustración. La unidad que más me llamó la atención fue la del sistema reproductivo femenino y masculino, y la explicación sobre las fases del ciclo menstrual y el embarazo,” cuenta. Fue en ese entonces que nació su interés por la endocrinología. Con este interés en mente, Larissa ingresó a cursar su bachillerato en Ciencias Naturales en la Universidad de Puerto Rico en Río Piedras—de donde por cierto es oriunda. “Mientras estaba en escuela superior, el renacimiento me llamó la atención. Durante un programa de investigación subgraduada que realizó mientras cursaba su bachillerato se dio cuenta que le interesaba más la investigación traslacional que la investigación básica.
