Understanding the Holocaust at KS3: How and why did it happen?
by Professor Stuart Foster Dr Andy Pearce Dr Eleni Karayianni Helen McCordIn 2016 the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education published a landmark study, What do students know and understand about the Holocaust? Almost 10,000 students aged 11 to 18 participated in the research. It was the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. The study indicated that the vast majority of young people found the subject interesting and relevant. However, it also revealed that many students did not have clear knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust.Written in direct response to the findings of the 2016 national study, this textbook significantly improves understanding of the Holocaust by:> Providing you with an appropriate historical overview of key aspects of the Holocaust> Helping you to understand the long-standing hatred of Jews (i.e., the roots of antisemitism)> Deepening your knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust > Encouraging you to challenge common myths and misconceptions (e.g., that Hitler was solely responsible for the Holocaust)> Developing your understanding of key historical concepts (e.g., evidence, interpretation, causation, significance)> Enabling you to answer the big historical question: How and why did the Holocaust happen? > Helping you to appreciate the impact of the Holocaust on ordinary people across Europe> Inviting you to consider the importance of the Holocaust and its significance todayThis textbook is supported by additional materials and teacher guidance notes on the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education website (holocausteducation.org.uk).The original design, development and distribution of this textbook was funded by the Toni Schiff Memorial Fund and the Pears Foundation. The Centre is enormously grateful for their support. The Wiener Holocaust Library also provided considerable assistance in developing the textbook.

Understanding-Oriented Pedagogy to Strengthen Plagiarism-Free Academic Writing: Findings From Studies in China
by Yin ZhangThis book discusses the plagiarism-free academic writing in higher education. It demonstrates how to orchestrate an understanding-oriented pedagogy (including the teaching of plagiarism and source use) in order to facilitate plagiarism-free academic writing among undergraduates by revealing studies in China. This book emphasizes that plagiarism is a mere symptom of educational problems and plagiarism urgently needs education-based solutions instead of punish solutions. It highlights that students' meaningful understandings of plagiarism and source use should be identified as the main learning objectives of plagiarism instruction, as well as features the adoption of plagiarism instruction in academic writing practices in subject courses. It also focuses on the potentials of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in scaffolding learning and teaching under plagiarism pedagogy beyond merely detecting plagiarism. This book also contributes to the discussion about the validity of current plagiarism assessment scales by providing evidences to challenge them and proposing a new one. This book is of great benefits for readers to increase knowledge and promote positive attitudes toward plagiarism and plagiarism instruction. It adds to our knowledge of how plagiarism in higher education can be effectively prevented by adopting an understanding-oriented pedagogy. It also adds to our knowledge of how Chinese undergraduates and their instructors view plagiarism and cope with plagiarism in discipline-based courses, which provides robust evidence for the academic debate about whether culture has effects on students’ plagiarism in academic writing. Finally, it provides insights about the relationship among plagiarism, pedagogy, and technology.

Unified English Braille: Australian Training Manual
by Josie Howse Kathy Riessen Leona HollowayUnified English Braille (UEB) was adopted for use by the Australian Braille Authority (ABA) in May 2005; with an envisaged five year transition period. Since 2010, it has been Australia's only braille code in use. Following the adoption of UEB, our major braille producers commenced implementing the code almost immediately and an urgent need for teaching materials in the new, but still developing, braille code was created. Thus, the Unified English Braille Primer: Australian Edition followed shortly afterwards, with the Preliminary Edition in 2006 and an update in 2008. As time passed, the UEB code has been refined and the UEB rules are now articulated in The Rules of Unified English Braille: Second Edition 2013 ("The Rulebook" as it is commonly known).

Unity from Diversity: Pluralist Systemic Thinking for Social and Behavioural Research
by Ray W. CookseyThis book is about the choices that researchers can make when building knowledge in social and behavioural spaces. Knowledge is the unity we seek and, given that social and behavioural research is a human endeavour focusing on human lives and experiences, there are diverse and ever-evolving pathways towards achieving that unity. Any one pathway will only ever yield partial glimpses into human life and diversity of potential choices serves to enrich, expand, and enlarge those glimpses in pursuit of more complete understanding. The book shows that researchers and the researched are far more connected than disconnected in this world and those connections are spread out through a network of interlinked complex systems. The book argues that pluralist systemic thinking provides the means by which a researcher’s methodological choices for navigating the ‘Data Triangle’ (comprising data source, data gathering, and data analysis strategies) and the learning they provide can be fully and robustly contextualised with respect to those systems and the expectations and influences that emerge from them. Such contextualisations facilitate the refinement, augmentation, and/or narrowing of those choices during the researcher’s journey. Anticipating choices downstream may have implications for more immediate choices and more immediate choices may create a cascade of necessary downstream choices. An essential part of contextualisation involves making choices about patterns of guiding assumptions, modes of knowledge building, and research frames. Researchers must develop the capacity to be flexible and adapt to unanticipated emergent events, obstacles, and political influences, making trade-offs where necessary throughout their research journey, always with an eye on both feasibility and quality. Importantly, research has no meaning unless the researcher can ensure that it connects with intended audiences via specific research outcomes, especially since the ultimate judgments about the convincingness, meaningfulness, quality, and utility of the research are vested in those audiences. Throughout the book, special attention is devoted to the role(s) that stakeholders and gatekeepers play in shaping the researcher’s journey as well as to what can be learned from Indigenous/First Nations perspectives on social and behavioural research.

Unterrichtszentrierte Schulentwicklung: Schulen auf dem Weg zu einer personalisierten Gestaltung von Lehr- und Lernprozessen
by Marco GalleIn diesem Open-Access-Buch untersucht Marco Galle, wie Lehrpersonen und Schulleitende ihren Unterricht und ihre Schule so weiterentwickeln können, dass sich die persönlichen Voraussetzungen und Ziele der Schülerinnen und Schüler verstärkt berücksichtigen lassen. Die Ergebnisse einer Längsschnittanalyse von Leitfadeninterviews aus zehn Schweizer Schulen, die personalisierte Lernkonzepte eingeführt haben, zeigen zahlreiche Entwicklungstätigkeiten auf Unterrichts- und Schulebene. So wird die Qualität der Lernaufgaben verbessert oder es werden individuelle Coachingangebote geschaffen. Mittels einer darauf aufbauenden transformativen Mixed-Methods-Datenanalyse werden pädagogisch-psychologische Unterrichtsmerkmale eruiert, die Hinweise darauf geben, warum solche Entwicklungsprozesse scheitern oder gelingen.
