Several years later Nelson Nice discovered that Jason Smart used the report as his Master's Thesis -- adding only a couple of introductory paragraphs, a concluding section, and an updated bibliography. No reference to Nelson Nice appeared anywhere in the thesis! What should Nelson Nice now do about this?
He sent Jason a letter pointing out that although the research was now complete, it did not turn out as he had hoped, that he had no plans to do further work in the area, enclosed a copy of the report, and wished him well.
He may well be capable of such work, but it is not fair to those who have done the proper work for a masters to represent oneself as having done it and compete with them on an apparently equal footing for honors and jobs. It is not clear what Nelson could have done to prevent this from happening.
Using his most poignant Yoda voice, Michael Pritchard left his audiences with messages of hope: “Remember, words are boomerangs; the good you do will come back to you.”
Which of the following is the BEST summary description of the Write-Share-Learn strategy? The teacher begins class with a question. Students jot down their answers and then share their responses with a partner in a short time frame allotted by the teacher.
What are the five guiding principles of cooperative learning? Face to face promotive interaction, positive interdependence, individual accountability and personal responsibility, interpersonal and collaborative skills, and reflection or group processing.
What are the benefits of developing a Professional Learning Network? Provides a platform and an opportunity for educators to collaborate, communicate, share ideas and resources, and build community to improve and expanding their learning.
The Most Effective Learning Techniques Based on decades of learning science research, the two most effective methods known to date are: Spaced practice / distributed practice – learning that occurs over multiple sessions at different points in time (for example, revisiting a textbook chapter once every three days).
The most effective strategy according to Dunlosky's research is practice testing. It consists of studying and reviewing by answering questions and actively bringing information back to mind. When this is done, information is reconsolidated, new connections are created, and memory and understanding are strengthened.
Cooperative learning has been defined as groups of students working together to complete a structured common task, whereas group work is often unstructured interaction where students "help each other".
Which is an important concept to understand when referring to culture? Culture is a characteristic of groups. What term refers to a child's ability to overcome, adapt to, or minimize the damaging effects of adversity? Why is culture so relevant for early childhood educators?
The five basic elements that are required in any cooperative learning lesson are: positive interdependence, individual accountability, promotive interaction, social skills, and group processing. Positive interdependence is the heart of cooperative efforts.
Guided Practice: In this part of the lesson, the students become involved. Guided practice means though, that you as teacher are involved in helping students put into practice what they've learned. Often this section will involve some kind of group or cooperative learning activities.
What are the benefits of developing a Professional Learning Network? Provides a platform and an opportunity for educators to collaborate, communicate, share ideas and resources, and build community to improve and expanding their learning.

Technology and Culture 41.1 (2000) 164-166 This book approaches engineering ethics from the perspective of practicing engineers. It does so by documenting the historical development of the main engines of the space shuttle from 1969 to the fateful Challenger explosion of 1986. Although the book might be viewed as presenting historical documentation...
This paper discusses the contributions of Lawrence Kohlberg to the teaching of professional ethics. While rejecting Kohlberg's view that the most advanced stages of moral development must embrace utilitarian or Kantian principles, it agrees with Rest and others that postconventional reasoning is essential for professional ethics. However, it raises...
The aim of this paper is to clarify the concept of bribery, and to do this in a way that reveals its underlying normative features. Bribery, like lying is not a value neutral concept. It has a negative connotation and is regarded by most as generally, although not necessarily universally, wrong. At the very least, those who resort to bribery bear a...
After crashlanding in a shallow pond, Calvin philosophizes: "See? If you don't make each decision carefully, you never know where you'll end up. That's an important lesson we should learn sometime." Hobbes replies, "I wish we could talk about these things without the visual aids." Hobbes might prefer that they talk through a case study or two before venturing with Calvin into engineering practice.
Moral systems are complex because applications of moral principles "extend to every part of human conduct, in every condition, every relation, and every transaction of life.". A glance at the National Society for Professional Engineers' (NSPE) Code of Ethics lends some support to Reid's analysis.
The code, in turn, expresses and confirms the shared ethical beliefs and commitments of members of NSPE. Thus, the BER serves the important function of further articulating for engineers, their employers and clients, and the public the basic ethical standards engineers should be expected to observe.
1. stimulate students' ethical imagination; 2. help students recognize ethical issues; 3. foster the development of analytical skills in ethics; 4. promote a sense of responsibility; 5. and help students deal effectively with ambiguity and disagreement about ethical matters.
One of the major reasons the use of case studies is so successful is that ethical inquiry begins with problems that professionals can expect to have to face. This is in contrast to beginning at a highly theoretical level and only later considering how rather general principles and rules might apply to actual situations. By beginning with realistic cases, students can immediately appreciate the relevance and importance of giving serious thought to ethics. Careful reflection on the cases will itself suggest the need for moving to a more theoretical level (for example, from what is fair in this situation to what fairness is). At the same time, by keeping a steady eye on the practical context within which professionals work, theoretical reflection is undertaken with practical purpose in mind.
Hobbes might prefer that they talk through a case study or two before venturing with Calvin into engineering practice. The classroom can provide engineering students with opportunities to absorb Calvin's lesson "without the visual aids.".
