It is hard to think of any significant aspect of our lives that is not influenced by what we have learned in the past. Of fundamental importance is our ability to learn the ways in which events are related to one another, called associative learning. This book provides a fresh look at associative learning theory and reviews extensively the advances made over the last twenty years. The Psychology of Associative Learning begins by establishing that the human associative learning system is rational in the sense that it accurately represents event relationships. David Shanks goes on to consider the informational basis of learning, in terms of the memorisation of instances, and discusses at length the application of connectionist models to human learning. The book concludes with an evaluation of the role of rule induction in associative learning. This will be essential reading for graduate students and final year undergraduates of psychology.
No coração da qualidade da educação escolar está a qualidade da profissão docente - eis um consenso hoje praticamente universal. Mas outra conclusão de muitos estudos e relatórios internacionais e nacionais é a seguinte: a profissão docente tende para o declínio, na maior parte dos países, porque é cada vez mais complexa, exigente, exercida em condições adversas e frequentemente desconsiderada. Uma medida para elevar a qualidade e prestígio da profissão docente pode ser conferir-lhe o estatuto de autorregulação. A autorregulação profissional é um poder, um privilégio e uma responsabilidade que a profissão docente deve querer e merecer, com vantagens para todas as partes interessadas. É uma possibilidade que os professores, professoras e suas associações profissionais devem considerar, no seu interessem e que os Governos devem ponderar, no interesse público.
"A politically conflicted nation faces internal dissent and the threat of invasion in Longfellow's fast-paced allegorical novel of dystopian fantasy." -Kirkus Reviews
BOOK SUMMARY:
Completely controlling Federal City, the Enlightened heralded their 'Save and Create Jobs' program as a wild success. They celebrated after taxing the rich out of existence. They cheered the outlawing of horses and livestock due to their damaging effects on the climate. One of their proudest achievements was passing the 'Right to a Healer' ten years earlier. And now the Enlightened-led by their charismatic Presiding Chief-are on the brink of permanently reforming the country with their most controversial legislation yet-the 'Right to Eat'.
Little did they know that the rapacious Kingdom of Anic to the south had mobilized their legions and deployed their amphibious landing fleet.
That is where this story begins.
MAIN CHARACTERS:
This is a story of five individuals whose destinies are unknowingly intertwined. Jake is a medic on the frontlines of battle fighting an invading horde in the south. Jenny is his sister who recently finished medical school. Fletcher is their older brother who pioneered a new settlement in the northern frontier. Willard, their father, is the chief of police (known as the Head Protector) of their home village. And Thomas, unrelated to Willard's family, is about to finish his silversmith apprenticeship. Little did all five of them know that their nation faced extinction and they each would be key to its survival.

EXCERPT #1:
Thomas returned to the tool shed holding a candle. He stepped inside. The candle light illuminated the cluttered wood shack. He looked down at the dead legionnaire.
His eyes focused on the flag-a patch sewn onto the uniform. A familiar warmth raced through his body.
His thoughts rebounded back to the day he took the oath-the day he received his flag. Recruits weren't authorized to wear the symbolic patch. They had to earn the title of "legionnaire" and swear to protect the Document first.
Thomas thought of the frigid mountain summit. He recalled the oath. He remembered shivering, holding his right hand up, and peering down on the Continent. The ray of light that broke through the clouds wasn't from the sun.
The sun can't warm one's soul.
The dormant legionnaire inside of him awoke.
EXCERPT#2:
"Elder Bertha, your incompetence makes me nauseous. There are undiscovered tribes in the southern continent-untouched by civilization-that can squeeze votes out of people better than you!"
Shock gripped her wrinkled face. The leader of the Lower Half of Elder Hill was speechless. Drool glistened on the corner of her lips. Silence echoed through the room.
He said, "That was a joke. Laugh."
The nine remaining elders, in the closed door meeting, forced laughs fearing for their professional lives.
The Presiding Chief pointedly said, "You know, all I see around me are people I want to fire. But I can't. That's the problem with elections-it's difficult to control the results. Now, Bertha, what are you going to do?"
"What sir?"
"If stupidity was a disease. You're the plague. And I'm the cure. What is the first 'no' vote's reason for not supporting the Right to Eat?"
"Ah-"
"Offer him something. Every elder has a skeleton in their closet...or a minnow that is blocking irrigation water and enraging their constituents."
"A thoughtful next step for readers of Andrew Clements." --BCCB (about Ethan Marcus Stands Up)
Ethan and Erin go to Tech Camp and try to win a chance to "make" a difference in classrooms everywhere in this hilarious follow-up to Ethan Marcus Stands Up.
Ethan and Erin Marcus may only be eleven months apart age-wise, but they are a million miles apart in every other respect. Ethan's laid back and takes things in stride. Erin's a little more...intense and doesn't really like to go with the flow. So when these two polar opposites are both invited to attend a prestigious invention/maker camp during winter break it seems almost impossible.
Even though Erin and Ethan have reached a kind of truce, Erin thinks that his invitation to the camp was a mistake. And for that reason, Ethan decides to go. He has something to prove to everyone--but mostly to himself--and he's convinced that his desk-evator idea has great potential...if he can do it right.
But the Marcus siblings are going to have to find new partners. This is especially important to Erin whose rival, Romanov, is also attending the camp. Erin's never forgiven him for his comment about "girls" having no place in science. She's determined to beat him.
But then she overhears someone talking about Romanov's project, and decides that she'll never be able to compete with his game-changing invention. So, what now? What if the Marcus siblings combine their ideas, their brains, and their teams, and make something spectacular?
With only one day left, can Erin and Ethan actually create a workable model of their idea, and is it enough to win?

Wussten Sie, dass Ihr Personalausweis oder Ihr Reisepass nicht Ihre deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit bestätigt und fast alle Deutschen in ihrem eigenen Land staatenlos sind? Nein? Es gibt tatsächlich ein Dokument, welches die rechtmäßige Staatsangehörigkeit bescheinigt, aber es ist keines der beiden zuvor genannten. Nur wenige Deutsche sind im Besitz dieser speziellen Urkunde, z.B. viele Staatsanwälte, Notare, Bundespolizisten oder Politiker. Wussten Sie zudem, dass Gerichtsvollzieher in der BRD seit 2012 keine Beamten mehr sind oder dass die BRD selbst gar kein Staat ist - und auch nie war -, sondern eine von den Alliierten installierte Verwaltung, die großteils innerhalb einer „Firmenstruktur" operiert? War Ihnen geläufig, dass wir bald in die „Vereinigten Staaten von Europa" übergehen und die Menschen in „handelbare Waren" umfunktioniert werden? Haben Sie sich nicht auch schon gewundert, wieso aus dem Arbeitsamt eine „Agentur für Arbeit" geworden ist oder warum Sie vor Gericht als „Sache" behandelt werden und nicht als Mann oder Frau? Und Sie werden wahrscheinlich auch überrascht sein, wenn Daniel Prinz Ihnen die Rolle des Vatikans und der katholischen Kirche darlegt, die darin genauso verwickelt sind wie die City of London. War Ihnen bewusst, dass die Sklaverei in Wirklichkeit nie abgeschafft wurde? Der Autor beantwortet nicht nur diese Fragen ausführlich, sondern zeigt zudem auf, welche höchst raffinierten und hinterhältigen Mechanismen eingesetzt werden, die uns alle versklavt haben und dafür sorgen sollen, dass wir aus dem gegenwärtigen, riesigen Hamsterrad nie ausbrechen. Im Buch kommt dabei auch ein Insider zu Wort, der mit weiteren brisanten Fakten aus dem Nähkästchen plaudert, z.B. auch, auf wie viele Menschen die Weltbevölkerung von der Elite reduziert werden soll. Wie ein roter Faden wird das gesamte Konstrukt offenbart, auf dem dieses Kontroll- und Machtsystem aufgebaut ist. Sie glauben, Sie wüssten als aufgewachter „Bürger" tatsächlich bereits über alles Bescheid? Dann werden Sie spätestens hier eines Besseren belehrt.Daniel Prinz bleibt jedoch bei all diesen Informationen nicht stehen. Er präsentiert im zweiten Teil des Buches auch tiefgreifende und fundierte Ideen und Lösungsansätze, die aufzeigen, wie wir uns aus diesem Sklavensystem wieder befreien und eine wirklich gerechte Welt in Frieden und Harmonie erschaffen können. Und bei dem Ganzen spielt Deutschland die Schlüsselrolle.
