P. O. W. E. R. Learning and Your Life: Essentials of Student Success
by Robert FeldmanP. O. W. E. R. Learning and Your Life is the only first-year experience text created specifically for the non-residential, commuter student and campus. These students face unique challenges and as they typically work full- or part-time, juggle work and family obligations with school, and they may be the first person in their families attempting a post-secondary education. The focus of P. O. W. E. R. Learning and Your Life is on real application of P. O. W. E. R. strategies in a program-specific approach through the use of photos, examples, and activities tied to general education courses (such as math, English, etc. ) and careers through the use of P. O. W. E. R. principles.
A & P Technician Powerplant Textbook
by JeppesenThe lack of efficient and practical powerplants has limited aircraft development throughout history. For example, in 1483 Leonardo daVinci conceived a flying machine he called the aerial screw. However, without a powerplant, the aerial screw was never developed.
P.W. Joyce and the Educational Shaping of the Emerging Irish Nation, 1827-1914 (Historical Studies in Education)
by Teresa O'Doherty Liam O’Connor Tom O'DonoghueThis book provides an exposition on the professional and cultural life of Patrick Weston Joyce (1827–1914), more popularly known as P. W. Joyce, who lived and worked during the final phase of British rule in Ireland. The focus throughout is very much on how family, locale, and schooling influenced this significant Irish patriot, polymath, and pioneering pedagogue who worked across a range of disciplines, including education, language, history, and music. Moreover, attention is paid to how his achievements were possible only because of the variety of leading roles he played in the development of the Irish National School System between 1845 and 1893. Thus positioned, Joyce was in many ways a significant choreographer of a slow revolution in which education, in both formal and informal settings, was used to educate the Irish people regarding their cultural heritage.
P.Y. Galperin's Development of Human Mental Activity: Lectures in Educational Psychology (Cultural Psychology of Education #14)
by Irina EngenessThis open access book introduces the legacy of Piotr Galperin to a wider audience of researchers, educators and psychologists. Previous translations of Galperin’s work present only some aspects of his conceptual thinking; however, his main contribution to the general, genetic and pedagogical psychology as a unique holistic and systemic approach to studying of psychological phenomena and processes, mechanisms of their formation and development, is still quite unknown in most parts of the world.The eight lectures chosen for the book have been translated from Russian for the first time, and they belong to the Study of the Formation of Human Mental Activity from Galperin’s collection of the Lectures in Psychology (Galperin, 2002). These eight lectures present the central ideas of Galperin’s pedagogical theory, and they conceptualise learning to learn approach and argue how teaching and learning process can enhance the development of higher mental functions with learners and therefore enhance the development of students as learners. These ideas may be of primary importance to educational practitioners and researchers interested in developmental learning and teaching approach given the current concerns of educational practice that schools struggle to prepare students for their adult and the need to develop the capacity in lifelong learning with students in the 21st century.

The Pace Of A Hen
by Josephine Moffett Benton“CERTAIN AUTHORS,” says Pascal, “speaking of their works, say ‘My Book.’ They would do better to say ‘Our Book’ because there is in them generally more of other people’s than their own.”Truly, this book is not my book but our book. It is the book of my friends, my family, my favorite writers. It is a book which grew out of the Pendle Hill pamphlet Martha and Mary, which in its turn grew out of the pooled wisdom of a group of women who sat and talked one sunny autumn afternoon about a woman’s relationship to her home and her family, to her work and her spiritual life. We came to see that it was not a matter of choice between the roles of Martha and Mary, but a recognition of the diverse facets of almost every woman’s nature.The reconciliation of a woman’s many selves is a slow process. Richard Cabot taught my generation in his book What Men Live By that the integrated person, the one who faces reality, is never an extremist but one who keeps his equilibrium. The ever-increasing demands on a modern woman’s time and energy, her wide interests, her own high standards of performance, pull her in many directions. Her scattered life does indeed resemble the pace of a hen. For her the golden mean is achieved only as she is able to find her way between work and play, between home and community, between solitude and society, between the wisdom of the serpent and the gentleness of the dove. But in time, with some years given mainly to the nurture of the family, some years to this field of service or that avocation, these seeming fragments can fit together to make a shining pattern of wholeness.
Pacific Rim Objective Measurement Symposium (PROMS) 2012 Conference Proceeding
by Quan Zhang Hong YangEntrusted by the Board of Management of the Pacific Rim Objective Measurement Symposium (PROMS), PROMS2012 is held in Jiaxing, China from August 6-9, 2012. Over the past years, PROMS has been hosted in many parts of the Pacific Rim, in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Tokyo, which has greatly promoted the research of and contributed to the development of Rasch Model in one way or another. As early as in 1980s, the ideas and concepts regarding IRT was first introduced into China by Prof. Gui Shichun, my Ph.D supervisor, and it is Prof. Gui who first conducted with great success the ten-year long (1990-1999) Equating Project for Matriculation English Test (MET) in China. MET is the most influential entrance examination for higher education administered annually to over 3.3 million candidates then. The Equating Project won recognition by Charles Alderson and other foreign counterparts during 1990s. Academically, those were Good Old Days for Chinese testing experts and psychometricians. Then for certain reasons, the equating practice abruptly discontinued. Therefore, in China nowadays, the application of IRT-based software like BILOG, Parscale, Iteman 4 and others to real testing problem solving is confined to an extremely small 'band' of people. In this sense, PROMS2012 meets an important need in that it provides an excellent introduction of IRT and its application. And anyone who is seriously interested in research and development in the field of psychometrics or language testing will find such a symposium and related workshops to be an excellent source of information about the application of Rasch Model. PROMS2012 focuses on recent advances in objective measurement and provides an international forum on both the latest research in using Rasch measurement and non-Rasch practice.

Pacifism and Pentecostals in South Africa: A new hermeneutic for nonviolence (Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies)
by Marius NelMost of the early twentieth-century Pentecostal denominations were peace churches that encouraged a stance of conscientious objection. However, since the Second World War Pentecostals have largely abandoned their pacifist viewpoint as they have taken on a more literal Biblical hermeneutic from their interaction with Evangelical denominations. This book traces the history of nonviolence in Pentecostalism and suggests that a new hermeneutic of the Bible is needed by today’s Pentecostals in order for them to rediscover their pacifist roots and effect positive social change. The book focuses on how Pentecostalism has manifested in South Africa during the twentieth century. Much of the available academic literature on hermeneutics and exegesis in the field of Pentecostal Studies is of an American or British-European origin. This book redresses this imbalance by exploring how the Bible has been used amongst African Pentecostals to teach on the apparent paradox of a simultaneously wrathful and loving God. It then goes onto suggest that how the Bible is read directly affects how Pentecostals view their role as potential reformers of society. So, it must be engaged seriously and thoughtfully. By bringing Pentecostalism’s function in South African society to the fore, this book adds a fresh perspective on the issue of pacifism in world Christianity. As such it will be of great use to scholars of Pentecostal Studies, Theology, and Religion and Violence as well as those working in African Studies.

Pack of Dorks (Pack of Dorks #1)
by Beth VrabelLucy knows that kissing Tom Lemmings behind the ball shed will make her a legend. But she doesn't count on that quick clap of lips propelling her from coolest to lamest fourth grader overnight. Suddenly Lucy finds herself trapped in Dorkdom, where a diamond ring turns your finger green, where the boy you kiss hates you three days later, where your best friend laughs as you cry, where parents seem to stop liking you, and where baby sisters are born different.Now Lucy has a choice: she can be like her former best friend Becky, who would do anything to claim her seat at the cool table in the cafeteria, or Lucy can pull up a chair among the solo eaters-also known as the dorks. Still unsure, Lucy partners with super quiet Sam Righter on a research project about wolves. Lucy connects her own school hierarchy with what she learns about animal pack life-where some wolves pin down weaker ones just because they can, and others risk everything to fight their given place in the pack. Soon Lucy finds her third option: creating a pack of her own, even if it is simply a pack of dorks.Weaving tough issues, including bullying, loyalty, and disability, with a thread of snarky humor, family bonds, and fresh perspective, Pack of Dorks paints characters coming-of-age and coming-to-terms. Beth Vrabel's stellar debut contemporary middle grade novel is sure to please fans of Jack Gantos, Elizabeth Atkinson, and Judy Blume.

Pädagogisch arbeiten in traumatischen Prozessen: Geflüchtete Kinder und Jugendliche in der Schule (Kritische Sozialpsychologie)
by Christoph MüllerDas Buch ist eine kritische und systematische Auseinandersetzung mit den schulpädagogisch sowie gesellschaftspolitisch hochaktuellen Themen Flucht und Trauma.Geflüchtete Kinder und Jugendliche befinden sich häufig in einem sequenziell traumatischen Prozess, zu dem neben den fluchtauslösenden Bedingungen und der Flucht selbst auch die Lebensbedingungen im Aufnahmeland gehören.Im Zentrum dieser Studie stehen die Fragen, wie sich die emotionalen Belastungen und potenziellen Traumatisierungen geflüchteter Schüler*innen in der Schule zeigen, wie sie sich im Erleben und Handeln der Lehrkräfte widerspiegeln und welche pädagogischen Konsequenzen sich daraus ergeben.Um dem nachzugehen, was es für die Lehrkräfte bedeutet, inmitten der traumatischen Prozesse der geflüchteten Schüler*innen pädagogisch zu arbeiten, wurden u.a. themenzentrierte Tiefeninterviews mit Lehrkräften geführt und tiefenhermeneutisch ausgewertet.Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen der Studie werden Konsequenzen für die pädagogische Praxis, die Professionalisierung von Lehrkräften und hinsichtlich eines strukturellen Handlungsbedarfs gezogen.
Pädagogische Anthropologie der Technik: Praktiken, Gegenstände und Lebensformen
by Johannes Bilstein Matthias Winzen Jörg ZirfasDer Band geht der Frage nach, welche spezifisch edukativen Techniken angesichts der zunehmenden Etablierung und Professionalisierung der pädagogischen Arbeitsfelder erforderlich werden. In diesem Zusammenhang wird zu klären versucht, welche pädagogische und didaktische Vorbereitung auf eine zunehmend technisch orientierte Welt erfolgen muss. Zudem werden die alltäglichen Techniken der Selbstsorge analysiert. Und schließlich geht es in einer Pädagogischen Anthropologie auch um die Frage, wer Subjekt und Objekt der Technik ist.
Pädagogische Fachkräfte und ihr Bild vom Kind: Eine rekonstruktive Studie im Feld der Kindertagesbetreuung
by Samuel KählerWährend das Bild vom Kind im Kontext frühpädagogischer Konzeptpapiere und den Diskursen um Qualität und professionelle Haltung immer wieder als wichtiger Ausgangspunkt pädagogischen Handelns vorausgesetzt wird, finden sich keine empirischen Arbeiten, die sich mit dem Bild vom Kind pädagogischer Fachkräfte befassen. An diesem Desiderat ansetzend widmet sich die vorliegende Studie dem Bild vom Kind pädagogischer Fachkräfte der Kindertagesbetreuung. Ausgehend von einer praxeologischen Gegenstandskonstruktion, teilnarrativen Interviews und einem qualitativ-rekonstruktiven Interpretationszugang wird das Bild vom Kind akteursbezogen und mehrdimensional rekonstruiert.
Pädagogische Institutionen des Jugendalters in der Krise (Studien zur Kindheits- und Jugendforschung #8)
by Karin Bock Tobias Franzheld Cathleen Grunert Katja Ludwig Nicolle Pfaff Anja Schierbaum Wolfgang SchröerDer Band stellt die Frage nach den Konstitutionsbedingungen von pädagogischen Institutionen als zentrale Mechanismen der (formalen) Durchsetzung der Jugendphase ins Zentrum. Dabei rücken Momente des Auseinanderdriftens von (sozial-)pädagogischen Institutionalisierungen und sich wandelnden Praktiken von Jugend in den Fokus und es wird ausgelotet, wann und in welcher Form sich darin Krisen von Institutionen des Jugendalters abzeichnen und diese dazu herausfordern, sich neu zu positionieren. Ziel ist es, die Institutionenperspektive innerhalb der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Jugendforschung zu schärfen und mit ihr diagnostizierte Krisen offenzulegen, sodass sowohl ‚die‘ Jugend und ihre krisenhaften Institutionen als auch die Krise der Institutionen und (ihre) Jugend klarer konturiert werden (können).
