As more and more science teacher educators are subscribing to a practice‐based teacher education curriculum, it is becoming increasingly necessary to identify and articulate smaller grain‐sized ...teaching practices nested within a core practice in important instructional contexts in order to facilitate preservice science teachers' (PSTs') learning of core practices. This paper illustrates how to achieve this goal using data from a qualitative study that aimed to characterize how PSTs enact the core practice of eliciting and working with student thinking in the three key stages of collaborative group work in rehearsals: whole‐class warm‐up, small group work, and whole‐class share‐out. Based on existing teaching practices synthesized from prior studies, as well as empirical data from the study, we identify the intermediate‐level practices (teaching moves) and technique‐level practices (talk moves) enacted by PSTs when orchestrating group work as well as the PSTs' strengths and missed opportunities in enacting these different grain‐sized practices. Findings reveal that, although the PSTs were able to enact a variety of talk moves when orchestrating group work, they missed opportunities to engage in intermediate‐level practices. For example, there were only a few instances in which the PSTs could explicitly work with the student thinking they noticed while circulating among the groups during whole‐class share‐out. We also identify three ways in which the PSTs used this intermediate‐level practice, reflective of their differing orientations toward using student thinking. We propose an integrative framework that decomposes the focal core practice into a nested set of practices of varying grain sizes, including medium grain‐sized teaching moves and small grain‐sized talk moves, during and across the key stages of group work. We discuss the implications of our findings for science teacher preparation and methodological approaches for capturing PSTs' enactment of the focal core practice, as well as the possible contributions of the framework.
Baroque art flourished in seventeenth-century Seville during a tumultuous period of economic decline, social conflict, and natural disasters. This volume explores the patronage that fueled this ...frenzy of religious artistic and architectural activity and the lasting effects it had on the city and its citizens.
Amanda Wunder investigates the great public projects of sacred artwork that were originally conceived as medios divinos —divine solutions to the problems that plagued Seville. These commissions included new polychromed wooden sculptures and richly embroidered clothing for venerable old images, gilded altarpieces and monumental paintings for church interiors, elaborate ephemeral decorations and festival books by which to remember them, and the gut renovation or rebuilding of major churches that had stood for hundreds of years. Meant to revive the city spiritually, these works also had a profound real-world impact. Participation in the production of sacred artworks elevated the social standing of the artists who made them and the devout benefactors who commissioned them, and encouraged laypeople to rally around pious causes. Using a diverse range of textual and visual sources, Wunder provides a compelling look at the complex visual world of seventeenth-century Seville and the artistic collaborations that involved all levels of society in the attempt at its revitalization.
Vibrantly detailed and thoroughly researched, Baroque Seville is a fascinating account of Seville’s hard-won transformation into one of the foremost centers of Baroque art in Spain during a period of crisis.
The rate at which the coronavirus (aka COVID-19) pandemic is exterminating thousands of people and leaving millions sick has pushed the International Federation of Social Workers to call on scholars ...to examine the impact of the pandemic on vulnerable populations. One of the most vulnerable population groups ignored by social work research on COVID-19 is international students. Drawing on media sources, academic literature, and the author’s interactions with international students, this essay argues that international students are more vulnerable during this pandemic. The essay contributes to our holistic understanding of how social work can mitigate the impact of the pandemic in general.
This manuscript will provide an overview of the content and process of this author's International Association for Social Work with Groups (IASWG)-endorsed SPARC project, a DSW dissertation and ...curriculum development integrating social work with groups with sociometry, psychodrama, and experiential trauma therapy. The narrative will be presented through the framework of Moreno's Canon of Creativity with reflection on the parallel processes between the personal experience of the author, the development of the SPARC project, and the larger social work with groups landscape. This manuscript will depict the author's personal warming-up process and the prospect of the social work field integrating sociometry and psychodrama into its professional repertoire. This project advocates for the implementation of sociometry and psychodrama processes to enliven social group work practice and social work education through action-based groups and experiential teaching methods. Examples of experiential sociometry, psychodrama, and sociodrama are provided from the author's dissertation proposal presentation, dissertation defense, and facilitation of teaching sessions for incoming DSW students at the University of Pennsylvania.
The study aims to explore the association between collaborative learning and practical skills acquisition (SEPSA) among 310 students from second-year, third-year, and fourth-year (First stage of ...higher education) from the Institute of Arts, Culture, and Sports- Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University. The data was collected using the time-lag approach at three intervals; 3.sup.rd week, 7.sup.th week, and 14.sup.th week. The mediation analysis suggests that collaborative learning (CL) has a positive mediating association with self-efficacy, and student engagement in practical skills acquisition (SEPSA). Additionally, collaborative learning (CL) has a positive mediating association with value-benefits, and practical skills acquisition (SEPSA). Furthermore, Collaborative learning (CL) has a positive significant association with practical skills acquisition (SEPSA). Our findings highlight the important potential of CL for increasing SEPSA. The finding of the study has implications for higher education teachers, students, administrators, and policymakers for developing more effective teaching and learning approaches using the concept of sharing and discussion with a specific focus on students' engagement.

This book provides the guidance, from first principles to examples of practice, together with concrete advice, suggestions, and tips to help you succeed in the TBL classroom. This book will help you understand what TBL is and why it is so powerful. You will find what you need to plan, build, implement, and use TBL effectively. This book will appeal to both the novice and the expert TBL teacher.
Mutual aid is the backbone of any social work group with its focus on the connection and growth between members for the sake of both individual attendees and the group itself. With the use of groups ...as a primary model of treatment and intervention in the field, the understanding of the dynamics of mutual aid is the cornerstone of quality group work education. Cohort models of education involve one set body of students who move through the curricula together with limited separation until degree completion. In a piloted assignment with an initial low residency MSW cohort, the primary author created an assignment wherein students explored their understanding of the nine dynamics of mutual aid from their perspective as a member of a cohort group. The following paper outlines their presentations and calls for the focus of social work group education using the lens of student as a cohort member experiences.
