    A Career Development Model for Kindergarten through Sixth Grade

    There is not a unified program of career development for kindergarten through the sixth grade which would properly prepare the child for the task of making realistic career decisions. The purposes were: (1) to identify what content is now being taught in on-going career development programs for K-6; (2) to establish a sequential pattern for the curriculum content of a career development program for K-6; (3) to identify what content should be taught in career development programs for K-6 and objectives. To obtain information about career development programs for objectives one and two, 23 letters were written to state vocational centers, The National Vocational Guidance Association, and various persons responsible for initiating career development programs. Trade and professional literature and ERIC materials at the Tennessee Research Coordinating Unit were searched for information about career development programs. The third objective was obtained as a result of an analysis of objectives one and two. A career development model was designed. The career development model consists of two major parts, Phase I and Phase II. Phase I of the model is a program designed for kindergarten through the third grade. This phase is based upon developing an awareness of careers related closely to the environment of the child. It is primarily designed around those careers associated with the school, the family, and the local community. Phase II of the career development model is designed for grades 4-6 levels. This phase of the model is designed around occupational clusters. This part of the model is composed of activities and experiences designed to give the student a broad background in the galaxy of careers. The occupational clusters used in this phase of the model are as follows: Producing and Processing Occupations Cluster, Construction Occupations Cluster, Manufacturing Occupations Cluster, Marketing and Distribution Occupations Cluster, Transportation and Public Service Occupations Cluster, Recreation and Natural Resources Occupations Cluster, Human Service Occupations Cluster, Personnel Service Occupations Cluster and Media Occupations Cluster. The aim of this model is to provide the student with experiences upon which he can select a general occupational area for further exploration

    This rigorous literature review focused on pedagogy, curriculum, teaching practices and teacher education in developing countries. It aimed to: 1. review existing evidence on the review topic to inform programme design and policy making undertaken by the DFID, other agencies and researchers 2. identify critical evidence gaps to guide the development of future research programme

    The Historical Foundations of a Feudal Mode of Production

    Get PDF
    In one   sense at least the very concept of a Feudal Mode of Production is entirely   fictive. For Marx the Feudal Mode of production was interesting and worthy of   study primarily as a dialectical antithesis to the consuming passion of his   life: the Capitalist Mode of Production. Marx himself never anywhere   attempted a systematic exploration of either the philosophical logic or the   historical foundations of the Feudal Mode of Production. Marxist scholars   interested in pre-capitalist modes of production writing during the last   hundred years or so have attempted to elucidate the characteristics of the   Feudal Mode of Production as sketchily outlined by Marx, but in most cases,   at least in the European context, the result has been a barren exercise in   philosophy or epistemology rather than an examination of the empirical   foundations of a Feudal Mode of Production in historical phenomena. The same   is true, I believe, of all other pre-capitalist or non-capitalist modes of   production. The Feudal Mode of Production cannot be studied in Marx's works   except as the antithesis of capitalism. To isolate what he wrote about the   Feudal Mode of Production from its context within his discussions of   capitalism is to derive a concept of the former which is barren and lifeless

    Teleoperation Methods for High-Risk, High-Latency Environments

    Get PDF
    In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) can enable larger-scale and longer-lived infrastructure projects in space, with interest ranging from commercial entities to the US government. Servicing, in particular, has the potential to vastly increase the usable lifetimes of satellites. However, the vast majority of spacecraft on low Earth orbit today were not designed to be serviced on-orbit. As such, several of the manipulations during servicing cannot easily be automated and instead require ground-based teleoperation. Ground-based teleoperation of on-orbit robots brings its own challenges of high latency communications, with telemetry delays of several seconds, and difficulties in visualizing the remote environment due to limited camera views. We explore teleoperation methods to alleviate these difficulties, increase task success, and reduce operator load. First, we investigate a model-based teleoperation interface intended to provide the benefits of direct teleoperation even in the presence of time delay. We evaluate the model-based teleoperation method using professional robot operators, then use feedback from that study to inform the design of a visual planning tool for this task, Interactive Planning and Supervised Execution (IPSE). We describe and evaluate the IPSE system and two interfaces, one 2D using a traditional mouse and keyboard and one 3D using an Intuitive Surgical da Vinci master console. We then describe and evaluate an alternative 3D interface using a Meta Quest head-mounted display. Finally, we describe an extension of IPSE to allow human-in-the-loop planning for a redundant robot. Overall, we find that IPSE improves task success rate and decreases operator workload compared to a conventional teleoperation interface
