Special and Inclusive Education : A Research Perspective
This book fills a gap in the dissemination of practitioner research on special and inclusive education in Ireland.The successful implementation of an inclusive education policy is a process which depends largely on the attitudes, knowledge and competencies of teachers.In this volume, teacher-researchers report on work undertaken within the Special Education Department of St Patrick's College, Drumcondra, Dublin.The studies are grouped around three key issues: responding to diversity, access to the curriculum and collaboration for inclusion.They offer valuable insights into the challenges and barriers to inclusive education and point to ways that schools can address these challenges from the perspective of small-scale research.The authors draw on a range of research methodologies, from single case experimental design to case studies, in order to illuminate the issues at the level of the individual student, teacher, class and school.The book is relevant to all who have an interest in practitioner research, the implementation of inclusive education and how policy translates in individual contexts.

Understanding Education : A Sociological Perspective
Who should be educated, when, by whom and how? What purposes should education serve? Why does education matter? These fundamental questions of value are not always seen as central to the sociology of education.However, this book argues that they are pivotal and provides a sophisticated and engaging introduction to the field that is designed to open up these important debates.It draws attention to the many points of disagreement that exist between major thinkers in the sociology of education, and the values on which their ideas are based.By involving readers in crucial questions about the potential contribution of sociology to education policies and practices, it aims to bridge the divide between education as it is talked about by academics, and the concerns of policymakers and educators who have to make practical decisions about what is to be done. Chapter by chapter the book introduces competing approaches in the sociology of education - structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism, Marxism, feminism, critical race theory and poststructuralism.It shows how these can be applied to major themes such as social reproduction, the politics of knowledge, multicultural education, identity and teachers’ work.Throughout, the authors emphasise the importance of understanding social and educational values and the ways in which these underpin and impact upon the work of both academics and educators.

Inclusive Education : A Systematic Perspective
This book answers two questions: What does the implementation of inclusive education require of a system of education and all parts of the system?How do various parts of the education system act on their commitment to inclusive educational practice?Decades after major legislation (i.e., the Civil Rights Act, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) made high-quality education a fundamental right for all children in the United States, the dream of diverse, inclusive, democratic schooling has yet to be realized.Nevertheless, some classrooms, schools, districts, states, and universities have made progress.Inclusive Education: A Systematic Perspective explores the theoretical implications of inclusive practice as well as illustrative case studies and evaluation findings from states, educator preparation programs, districts, and schools that have reframed their work around the principles of inclusive practice.Whether these organizations position the work as "social justice education," "culturally responsive teaching," or "inclusion," their efforts lead in the same direction- toward higher quality and more equitable education for all.The chapters will be relevant to graduate students, faculty members, and education leaders, at all levels, who seek a comprehensive overview of the commitment and practice of "inclusive education".Chapters vary in their approaches to the topic, some presenting theoretical underpinnings, others describing practices or programs at particular sites, others reporting findings from empirical studies, and edited interviews with state and district leaders of inclusive-education initiatives.The book explores why inclusion is important and how it can be accomplished.

What is learning from a personal perspective?
Learning from a personal perspective is the process of acquiring new knowledge, skills, or understanding through one's own experiences, reflections, and interactions. It involves being open to new ideas, being willing to challenge existing beliefs, and being proactive in seeking out opportunities for growth. Personal learning is often driven by curiosity, passion, and a desire for self-improvement, and it can lead to personal development, increased confidence, and a broader perspective on the world.
-
Which perspective?
The perspective that one chooses to adopt can greatly influence their understanding of a situation or issue. It can shape their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. By considering different perspectives, individuals can gain a more well-rounded view of a topic and make more informed decisions. It is important to be open to different perspectives in order to foster empathy, understanding, and collaboration.
-
Which writing perspective?
The writing perspective refers to the point of view from which a story is told. It can be first person, where the narrator is a character in the story and uses "I" to tell the story. It can also be second person, where the narrator addresses the reader as "you," or third person, where the narrator is not a character in the story and uses "he," "she," or "they" to tell the story. The choice of writing perspective can greatly impact how the reader experiences and interprets the story.
-
From whose perspective?
The perspective from which a story or situation is being told can greatly influence the way it is perceived. It is important to consider the perspective of the narrator or the person telling the story, as well as the perspectives of the different characters involved. Understanding the different viewpoints can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and can help to uncover different layers of meaning and interpretation.

Machine Learning : A Probabilistic Perspective
A comprehensive introduction to machine learning that uses probabilistic models and inference as a unifying approach. Today's Web-enabled deluge of electronic data calls for automated methods of data analysis.Machine learning provides these, developing methods that can automatically detect patterns in data and then use the uncovered patterns to predict future data.This textbook offers a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the field of machine learning, based on a unified, probabilistic approach. The coverage combines breadth and depth, offering necessary background material on such topics as probability, optimization, and linear algebra as well as discussion of recent developments in the field, including conditional random fields, L1 regularization, and deep learning.The book is written in an informal, accessible style, complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms.All topics are copiously illustrated with color images and worked examples drawn from such application domains as biology, text processing, computer vision, and robotics.Rather than providing a cookbook of different heuristic methods, the book stresses a principled model-based approach, often using the language of graphical models to specify models in a concise and intuitive way.Almost all the models described have been implemented in a MATLAB software package-PMTK (probabilistic modeling toolkit)-that is freely available online.The book is suitable for upper-level undergraduates with an introductory-level college math background and beginning graduate students.

Teacher Education in Computer-Assisted Language Learning : A Sociocultural and Linguistic Perspective
Even though many pre-service and in-service teacher programs now address information and computer technology, computer- assisted language learning (CALL) teacher education is still reported as inadequate. Why is this? This book elaborates on some of the existing concerns and through deft analysis of longitudinal data begins to piece together a future road map for CALL teacher education. The book adopts a sociocultural approach, based on the principle that teaching (and learning how to teach) is a long term, complex developmental process that operates through participation in social practices that come with the territory. Euline Cutrim Schmid highlights the need for situated and localized learning, pre-service and in-service collaboration and collaborative peer-assisted learning. Above all of this, the book recommends and proves the efficacy of socially aware and professional reflective practice. This is an essential sociolinguistic take on the computer learning revolution.

Knowledge and Learning in Organizations : A Knowing-In-Practice Perspective of University Academic Managers
This book explores the notion of knowing-in-practice to unravel the formation of academic managers' knowing in a community university.It considers the unique socio-historical context and institutional intricacies, such as procedures, flows, and political and power structures.Knowing-in-practice implies that knowledge is dynamic, constantly in flux, and intricately linked to the capability for action within the social context.In essence, knowledge is emergent and anchored by its material context. The role of an academic manager is distinctive, involving the concurrent practice of higher education management and teaching.Hence, academic-managers are supposed to deal with a multiplicity of activities and interpersonal relationships.This work will enhance our understanding of the constitution process of academic-managers in higher education, emphasizing the perspective of knowing-in-practice.It offers insights into the learning processes and knowing associated with academic management, contributing to the improvement of university management and leadership.Further, it contributes to the advancement of organizational studies related to learning and knowing.

Is the cavalier perspective the same as the parallel perspective?
No, the cavalier perspective and the parallel perspective are not the same. The cavalier perspective is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown in its true size and shape, but the depth is not shown accurately. The parallel perspective, on the other hand, is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown with accurate depth and proportions using parallel lines to create the illusion of depth. In summary, the cavalier perspective does not accurately represent depth, while the parallel perspective does.
-
What distinguishes the parallel perspective from the vanishing point perspective?
The parallel perspective, also known as isometric perspective, does not use a vanishing point to create the illusion of depth. Instead, all lines remain parallel and do not converge towards a single point. This results in a more uniform and less realistic representation of space. In contrast, the vanishing point perspective uses a single vanishing point to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space, resulting in a more realistic and dynamic representation of objects and scenes.
-
What is the difference between central perspective and parallel perspective?
Central perspective, also known as one-point perspective, is a type of linear perspective where all lines converge to a single vanishing point on the horizon. This creates the illusion of depth and distance in a two-dimensional drawing or painting. On the other hand, parallel perspective, also known as two-point perspective, involves two vanishing points on the horizon line, making it suitable for depicting objects from different angles or viewpoints. In parallel perspective, objects appear more realistic and three-dimensional compared to central perspective.
-
Is the internal perspective and the external perspective always distinguishable?
The internal perspective and the external perspective are not always easily distinguishable. The internal perspective refers to an individual's thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while the external perspective refers to how others perceive and interpret the individual's behavior. However, these perspectives can often be intertwined, as an individual's internal experiences can influence their external behavior and how others perceive them. Additionally, individuals may not always be aware of their own internal perspective, making it difficult to separate from the external perspective. Therefore, while the two perspectives are distinct in theory, in practice they can be interconnected and challenging to differentiate.
