Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience, UW-Madison Psychology Dept - 0 views

  • We are interested in both risk and resilience - why are some individuals particularly vulnerable in response to negative life events, while others appear to be relatively resilient? And how can we promote enhanced resilience? As a part of the latter work, we study interventions designed to cultivate more positive affective styles. One such intervention that we have extensively studied over the past decade is meditation. In addition to the research on normal affective function, we also study a range of psychopathologies, all of which involve abnormalities in different aspects of emotion processing. Included among the disorders we have recently studied are adult mood and anxiety disorders, and autism, fragile X and Williams syndrome in children. Some of our current research involves: Voluntary and automatic emotion regulation. Resilience in aging. Interactions between emotion and cognitive function, particularly working memory and attention. Temperament in children, in hopes of determining early signs of vulnerability to psychopathology. Social and emotional processing differences in children and adults with autism and fragile X. Mood and anxiety disorders. The impact of pharmaco-therapy and psychotherapy on brain function in patients with mood and anxiety disorders. The effects of meditation on brain function in adept practitioners and novices. Relations between neural mechanisms of emotion and peripheral measures of inflammation and lung function in asthma.

  • Teacher presence, which is how you speak and relate to your students, must not be confused with teaching presence, which is the way a course is structured, activities are designed and feedback is given. 
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      kristina: are you missing the even bigger point here that "teaching presence" is not the exclusive domain of the one in the "role" of "teacher?" Than "teaching presence" in an effectively designed online learning environment is equally expressed, cultivated and facilitated from those in the "role" of "student." can you demonstrate to me that you understand this key concept?
  • One of the resources I came across identified audio feedback to be associated retention of content and students associate it with the perception that the instructor cared more about them.

    Development of the PRO-SDLS: A Measure of Self-Direction in Learning Based on the Personal Responsibility Orientation Model. The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and valid instrument to measure self-directedness in learning among college students based on an operationalization of the personal responsibility orientation (PRO) model of self-direction in learning. The resultant 25-item Personal Responsibility Orientation to Self-Direction in Learning Scale (PRO-SDLS) was found to be a highly reliable instrument in the selected sample of graduate and undergraduate education students. Confirmatory factor analysis established that a four latent variable model fit the data. Scores from the PRO-SDLS were significantly related to criterion variables thought to demonstrate self-direction and to a known instrument of self-direction while accounting for additional variance. Recommendations for further research in the ongoing process of scale validation and implications for practice are provided

Users of the world, unite! The challenges and opportunities of Social Media - 0 views

  •  
    this article intends to provide some clarification on social media. We begin by describing the concept of Social Media, and discuss how it differs from related concepts such as Web 2.0 and User Generated Content. Based on this definition, we then provide a classification of Social Media which groups applications currently subsumed under the generalized term into more specific categories by characteristic: collaborative projects, blogs, content communities, social networking sites, virtual game worlds, and virtual social worlds. Finally, we present 10 pieces of advice for companies which decide to utilize Social Media.

Reflections on Online Learning - 1 views

  • Age problem, an overload of information to the point where in heavy doses it begins to resemble garbage is the problem of our day.
  • How will I balance these issues? How can you have non-hierarchical education within the confines of traditional educational pedagogy especially in an online environment? I feel like I’m taking a big risk here with this topic.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      hi mike! i think it is a risk, but i am open to you trying. frankly, i don't see how it can work, but if you are passionate about it and believe it can work and will show and prove that it can, i would support your choice and be very interested to see that.

      Bookmarked a book in diigo that someone pdf. Teaching as a subversive activity. Wouldn't it be great if you created such a wonderful course that your students CHOOSE to continue learning without credit!

  • So what does this mean for education? How is this different online? And why do I believe that I only understand the stick?
  • What is my role? What is the future role of the instructional designer?

  • education is one of the most fundamentally revolutionary acts.
  • he power or the perceived power of education and it’s threat even in relation to the most influential and powerful in all of the land.
  • I still am holding on to Alex telling us to challenge our assumptions about online learning and what it means. I think that should spill over to everything if we really want to affect change in this world and in the field of education. What are we assuming? What can be changed? What seems like it’s either a precursor or indispensable even if this may not be the case at all?
  • Understanding history and using it is cheating in a way. A good type of cheating. We can stand on the work of those before us and take the best or the most appropriate for our time. We can use a historical perspective to give a voice to the voiceless of history.

parker j. palmer: community, knowing and spirituality in education - 0 views

  • The culture and size of the institutions and settings where people teach, the emphasis upon achieving grades and gaining marketable skills, and the pressure to 'produce' all take their toll.
  • To Know as We are Known (1983, 1993) Parker J. Palmer explores an understanding of education that looks to community and its recovery.
  • 'Knowing of any sort is relational, animated by a desire to come into deeper community with what we know' (Palmer 1998: 54).
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • 'a rich and complex network of relationships in which we must both speak and listen, and make claims on others, and make ourselves accountable' (Parker Palmer 1993: xii)
  • community of truth'
  • as Carl Rogers might have put it, from the diadactive to the facilitative.

      One of my favorite book. It always inspires me,
  • This distinction is crucial to knowing, teaching and learning: a subject is available for relationship; an object is not.
  • the subjects around which the circle of seekers has always gathered - not the disciplines that study these subjects, not the texts that talk about them, not the theories that explain them, but the things themselves (1998: 107).
  • Clearly community is a process. But it is also a place.
  • The task of the educator in all this is to make a space so that the great thing has an independent voice, to speak for itself - and to be heard and understood.
  • In To Know As We Are Known, Parker J. Palmer argues that a learning space has three essential dimensions: openness, boundaries and an air of hospitality (1983; 1993: 71-75)
  • As I teach, I project the condition of my soul onto my students, my subject, and our way of being together
