Home in the City

Urban Aboriginal Housing and Living Conditions

During the past several decades, the Aboriginal population of Canada has become so urbanized that today, the majority of First Nations and Métis people live in cities. Home in the City provides an in-depth analysis of urban Aboriginal housing, living conditions, issues, and trends. Based on extensive research, including interviews with more than three thousand residents, it allows for the emergence of a new, contemporary, and more realistic portrait of Aboriginal people in Canada's urban centres. Home on the City focuses on Saskatoon, which has both one of the highest proportions of Aboriginal residents in the country and the highest percentage of Aboriginal people living below the poverty line. While the book details negative aspects of urban Aboriginal life (such as persistent poverty, health problems, and racism), it also highlights many positive developments: the emergence of an Aboriginal middle class, inner-city renewal, innovative collaboration with municipal and community organizations, and more. Alan B. Anderson and the volume's contributors provide an important resource for understanding contemporary Aboriginal life in Canada.

Urban Aboriginal Homebuilding Apprenticeships ALAN THOMARAT Introduction
The residential construction industry is being challenged with chronic shortages
of skilled labour. The issue is generally not the number of applicants but the skills
available. New technologies, building systems, and materials have created skill
gaps between those with experience and those attempting to enter the industry (
Construction Sector Council 2004). This situation will only grow worse now that ...

New Approaches to Problem-based Learning

Revitalising Your Practice in Higher Education

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that has the capacity to create vibrant and active learning environments in higher education. However, both experienced PBL practitioners and those new to PBL often find themselves looking for guidance on how to engage and energise a PBL curriculum. New Approaches to Problem-based Learning: Revitalising your Practice in Higher Education provides that guidance from a range of different, complementary perspectives. Leading practitioners in the field as well as new voices in PBL teaching and learning have collaborated to produce this text. Each chapter provides practical and experienced accounts of issues and ideas for PBL, as well as a strong theoretical and evidence base. Whether you are an experienced PBL practitioner, or new to the processes and principles of PBL, this book will help you to find ways of revitalising and enriching your practice and of enhancing the learning experience in a range of higher education contexts.

At the end of each tutorial/learning session or on a regular basis (once a week or
fortnight) it is useful to ask a few questions of the students. The students can write
short responses and either leave them on a table as they leave the session or
share them in the group. To prevent overload, it is best to focus on only one or
two questions that can be recycled periodically from a base of six to eight
questions, for example: What was the most useful learning point from the tutorial/
session?

Collaborating for Inquiry-Based Learning: School Librarians and Teachers Partner for Student Achievement

School Librarians and Teachers Partner for Student Achievement

Student learning is enhanced when teachers and librarians work collaboratively. This cutting-edge guide offers a model for collaboration that incorporates information literacy and technology standards to engage students and move them to higher-order thinking skills and greater achievement. • More than two dozen ready-to-use tables, charts, rubrics, and sample lesson plans • A research process explored through a variety of research models • Sample collaborative units that illustrate key concepts, strategies, and implementation • Comparison charts and grids showing AASL and ISTE standards • A glossary of key pedagogical terms and their relationship to inquiry-based learning • A bibliography of professional, practical print and online resources on inquiry-based learning and collaboration

Brain-based principles for learning (Caine & Caine, 1990) support these
assumptions. Reflection is an opportunity for students to make meaning out of the
content they have just learned. The search for meaning is an innate survival
mechanism. Living organisms must assimilate, accommodate, and adapt to
changes in their environment in order to survive. Reflection helps students
manage and understand their emotional responses to new learning. Emotions,
stress, dispositions, and ...

Gaming for Classroom-Based Learning: Digital Role Playing as a Motivator of Study

Digital Role Playing as a Motivator of Study

As part of an international dialogue between researchers in educational technology, this title investigates where games can motivate students to learn and improve their knowledge and skills.

Price and Moore suggest a new theoretical approach based on situated learning,
the experiential learning cycle of Kolb, and the ARCS model of Keller in “The
Design and Development of Educational Immersive Environments: From Theory
to Classroom Deployment.” Third section of this section opens with McNamara,
Jackson, and Graesser introducing “Intelligent Tutoring and Games (ITaG).” Their
point of view is that game-based learning improves students' motivation with the ...
