10 Mindframes for Visible Learning: Teaching for Success
by John Hattie Klaus ZiererThis new and updated edition of 10 Mindframes for Visible Learning revisits the ten behaviours or mindframes that teachers need to adopt in order to maximize student success. These powerful mindframes, which should underpin every action in schools, are founded on the principle that teachers are evaluators, change agents, learning experts, and seekers of feedback who are constantly engaged with dialogue and challenge. The ten mindframes include: thinking of and evaluating your impact on students’ learning the importance of assessment and feedback to inform teachers working collaboratively and the sense of community the notion that learning needs to be challenging and errors seen as opportunities to learn engaging in dialogue and the correct balance between talking and listening conveying the success criteria to learners building positive relationships This new edition now uses the much larger meta-analysis dataset (over 2,100 meta-analyses rather than 900) and incorporates new research, particularly with reference to digital technologies, evaluative thinking, and the lessons learned from large-scale school implementation of visible learning. Furthermore, thanks to "Visible Learning +", this book includes concrete, scientifically accompanied processes. Specifically, this means updated data, expanded chapters to include factors that clarify the core message of the mindframes, and explanations of the concrete examples that are research-proven to be most effective.This updated essential guide, which includes questionnaires, scenarios, checklists, and exercises, will show any school exactly how to implement Hattie’s mindframes to maximize student success.

100 Years of Archaeology at the University of Michigan: Essays on the Past, Present, and Future of the Discipline (Anthropological Papers Series #101)
by Raven Garvey Brian A. Stewart Michael L. Galaty Tiffany C. Fryer Robin A. Beck Hannah Hoover John O’Shea Alicia Ventresca-MillerThe University of Michigan has been at the forefront of archaeological research for more than 100 years, since 1922, when the Museum of Anthropology (now the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology) was established on the Ann Arbor campus. The goal of its curators for many decades was to create a research and teaching program that emphasized methodological rigor in the analysis of archaeological materials, attempting to solve grand questions about human behavior through fieldwork, collections, and laboratory work. About fifty years ago, the Museum's emphasis shifted to developing archaeological theory when a new generation of curators with processualist leanings made Ann Arbor a testing ground for the so-called New Archaeology. Now, archaeology stands at a crossroads. Some archaeologists refer to the death of archaeological theory. Others stake out opposed camps of generalists and particularists. At U-M, as at many other universities, the past decade has seen a new commitment to collaborative archaeology, working with descendant communities and acknowledging the discipline's roots in colonialism and extraction. In 2022, to celebrate a century of existence, the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology (UMMAA) hosted an international conference to explore possibilities for a middle way: an archaeology for the next 100 years, combining humanistic and scientific approaches, which allows for both agents and systems, description and explanation, science and heritage. This volume is meant to be a snapshot of that conference and this moment in the development of the discipline. Included are most of the papers and posters presented, as well as photographs of the panels and the proceedings.
100 Years of Turkish-Japanese Relations: From History to Economy, Culture to Art (Routledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politics)
by Hasan TopaçoğluJapan and Türkiye, situated at opposite ends of Asia like two pillars of a bridge, have long maintained strong relations. These ties, spanning over a century, encompass historical, cultural, political, and social dimensions. Topaçoğlu and his contributors present a comprehensive analysis of Asia that deepens our understanding of the complex interplay between these two nations in the global arena.Structured into three segments, the first explores the historical backdrop, carefully examining the evolution of relations between Japan and Türkiye while analysing their outreach to the West and Asian nations throughout history. The second examines various themes encompassing international relations, political science, and economics that critically examine the historical trajectory leading up to the present, shedding light on the evolving dynamics with other Asian nations. The final segment centers on media and cultural studies, education, literature, and the arts that provide detailed insights into Türkiye’s evolving engagement with other Asian countries. The book offers fresh perspectives and novel methodologies that challenge conventional paradigms by adopting an inclusive approach. Through a comparative lens, it illuminates the evolving contours of Japan–Turkish relations amidst shifting geopolitical landscapes. Furthermore, it serves as a catalyst for future research endeavours, paving the way for deeper insights into the historical, diplomatic, and socio-cultural dimensions of these nations.A valuable resource for scholars and researchers in the fields of international relations, political science, history, cultural studies, and Asian studies in the context of Japan and Türkiye. The book will also be of interest to professionals involved in policy formulation and diplomatic practice, policymakers at governmental institutions, diplomats, and strategy consultants who are engaged in advising on international relations or geopolitical strategy as well as journalists, think-tank analysts, and the informed public who are keen on understanding the complexities of global geopolitics and both countries' evolving roles within it.
