	Maximilien Robespierre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Here his learning was steeped in admiration of the idealized Roman Republic and in the rhetoric of Cicero, Cato, and other classic figures; his fellow pupils included Camille Desmoulins and Stanislas Fréron.
		Robespierre took his seat on the Commune of Paris, which had overthrown Louis XVI, as a means to check the political ambitions of the Girondins.
		The strongmen of the Commune were glad to have Robespierre's assistance – not because they cared for him or believed in him, but because of his popularity, his reputation for virtue (which had won for him the surname of "The Incorruptible"), and his influence over the Jacobin Club and its branches ubiquitous throughout France.

	Arabic literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Basrah and Kufah were two other important seats of learning in the early Arab world, between which there was a strong rivalry.
		These translations would keep alive scholarship and learning, particularly that of ancient Greece, during the dark ages in Europe and the works would often be first re-introduced to Europe from the Arabic versions.
		A large proportion of Arabic literature before the 20th century is in the form of poetry, and even that which is not is ether filled with snippets of poetry or is in the form of saj or rhymed prose.

	Computer, Graphics, & Learning -- Chapter 5
		However, this type of learning is usually criticized as being too artificial or "sterile" to be generalized to real training situations in which learning occurs in the midst of many mediating factors.
		Learning involves a dynamic interplay of many variables, most of which vary even during the learning event itself.
		In regard to picture research, reaching a ceiling level of learning from text alone means either that the visualization of the content is not necessary to permit learning or that the text itself does a good enough job of cueing the learner to internally form an adequate image in short-term-memory.

		Students also learn any background knowledge needed to apply the strategy, develop a thorough understanding of how the strategy can support their writing, and systematically investigate where and how to apply the strategy beyond the initial learning situation (i.e., maintenance and generalization).
		Learning and application of the strategy is further supported through the use of self-instructions, goal setting, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation.

	SEDL - Search Results: Annotated Bibliography of resources for educational reform, coherent teaching practice, and ...
		She reports on the learning process of a science teacher who was attempting to incorporate cooperative learning into his teaching practice.
		The view of teacher learning threads through the chapters, with particular emphasis on professional communities and job-embedded learning, as well as characteristics of educational organizations that support teachers and their learning.
		By using the fictional investigations of the characters, she is able to illustrate the difficulty in trying to impose a linear structure on this type of research since it does not follow the patterns typically associated with traditional research.

		Ask workers where they learned how to do their jobs, and 80 percent of the time the answer is “at work.” Most learning takes place on the job, outside the purview of formal learning.
		And the same learning culture is carried forward by people into organizations after “warming the seat in the classroom”-type learning for 16+ years.

	Archived: Rural and Small Libraries
		While the role of the public library is explored in relation to adult lifelong learning, it does not consider the manner in which adults learn, which is a complex field of investigation in itself.
		So in evaluating the present and future role of lifelong learning in the public library, reviewers must be aware of the dynamics of adult learning that take place in a society of an increasing number of alternatives.
		Because of the lack of research on this topic, it would be very important to understand the perceptions that adults have about the public library in relation to it as a resource for lifelong continuing education.

	Current Issues in Education: Volume 8 Number 2
		Participants were presented with fictional scenarios of students that varied according to the level of ADHD-like behaviors exhibited and were then asked to provide appropriate interventions.
		Subsequently, incremental theorists tend to adopt learning (Ames and Archer, 1988) or mastery goals (Elliott and Dweck, 1988) where the emphasis in the learning process is placed upon gaining competence through persistence.
		You are also concerned that all the attention you give this student to relax in their seat is taking quality education time from the class as a whole.

		Good teachers over the decades have realised that learning often takes place better through discussion and exploration rather than through purely didactic methods (although there is definitely a time and a place for "lecturing").
		But if you can learn the art of effective reading, this is an example of an activity where, you will discover, less really is more.
		An interesting outcome of the work on the project was the transforming effect it had on at least some of the participants, in the sense of their learning much more about Web 2 tools.

		The part I disagree with you about is that white people are "less damaged" by it; for in a way, the souls of those who have bought into superiority are far more damaged than minorities who struggle against such beliefs.
		To me, denying the existance of race because of lack of biological differences does not convince people that the fl person standing next to the white person are exactly the same, and should be treated the same.
		I would rather hear people say that these people are, in fact, different, diverse, have lived different life courses that are attributed to the color of their skin, and learn from this diversity.

		But in the county seat of Worcester itself, the most prosperous families were predominantly Unitarians; by the 1820s, the meetinghouse of Worcester's first parish was the scene for Christmas services, and Worcester's Unitarian lawyers and merchants were giving Christmas dinners for their family and friends.
		Theodore Parker's fictionalized description of the introduction of Christmas observance to the town of “Soitgoes, Worcester County, Massachusetts” in 1855 provides another look at the Unitarian and Universalist campaign for Christmas in the countryside in the decades before the Civil War.
		Theodore Parker’s fictional “Kindlys,” a city family, have adopted the Christmas tree as part of their family celebration by 1855, but to their new rural neighbors in “Soitgoes” it is a cataclysmic, “Popish” innovation.

		Moreover, the workshop approaches generally reflected a behaviorist conception of learning whereby discrete teaching skills were imparted through de-contextualized “training.” In the best cases, such training incorporated follow-up opportunities for guided practice, coaching/feedback, and reflection upon the impact of the intervention.
		Stylistically, it resides closer to a novel than a graduate textbook, illuminating its key ideas through a fictionalized chronicle of recognizable educational characters wrestling with the change process.
		As we follow Joan (the fictional principal), her staff, and the central-office administrators through several intense years, we come to appreciate the book's enduring ideas.

		Its hard for me to aspire towards the attributes of a heroine when she is fictional; in paper, or film media.
		My latest favorite fictional heroine is the young women in Sebastien Japrosiet's (sp?) World War One novel, "A Very Long Engagement." I don't have the book at hand, but she is wonderful--intelligent, dedicated, insightful, sensitive, and won't take no for an answer.

		In his customary fashion, Poe throws dust in the reader’s eyes by claiming that he chose that place simply because "Pallas" was a mellifluous term (which is a reminder of "pallid," a fittingly morbid adjective).
		Pallas Athena, of course, sprang from the head of Zeus, seat of learning and wisdom, according to the understanding of the ancient Greeks.
		Poe’s preoccupation with retaliation against enemies in both his life and in his fictional representations was itself an indication of a deep level of fury that he could neither master nor understand.
