Mechanics of Materials, 1st Edition $149.49 MECHANICS OF MATERIALS – an extensive revision of STRENGTH OF MATERIALS, Fourth Edition, by Pytel and Singer – covers all the material found in other Mechanics of Materials texts. What’s unique is that Pytel and Kiusalaas separate coverage of basic principles from that of special topics. The authors also apply their time-tested problem solving methodology, which incorporates outlines of procedures and numerous sample problems to help ease students’ transition from theory to problem analysis. The result? Your students get the broad introduction to the field that they need along with the problem-solving skills and understanding that will help them in their subsequent studies. To demonstrate, the authors introduce the topic of beams using ideal model as being perfectly elastic, straight bar with a symmetric cross section in ch. 4. They also defer the general transformation equations for stress and strain (including Mohr’s Circle) until the students have gained experience with the basics of simple stress and strain. Later, more complicated applications of the principles such as energy methods, inelastic behavior, stress concentrations, and unsymmetrical bending are discussed in ch. 11 – 13 eliminating the need to skip over material when teaching the basics. |

Basic Pharmacokinetics $88.95 This volume is a self-instructional computer-assisted medium for active learning. Indeed, the tutorial materials included in the accompanying compact disk have received an award from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy for innovation in teaching. This volume and its companion CD are intended for students and practitioners in the health professions who need to comprehend the concepts and principles related to how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and excretes drugs. “…The author’s reliance on active learning, his use of examples illustrating important pharmacokinetic principles, and particularly the thoughtful simulation tools he has developed make this text and its companion CD an extremely effective and enjoyable introduction to the field of pharmacokinetics.” From the Foreword, Ronald J. Sawchuk Minneapolis, MinnesotaPharmacokinetics has become an essential component of all the processes involved in drug development, discovery, and preclinical evaluation, as well as with the clinical use of drugs. While this has led to the development of many highly complex techniques, basic pharmacokinetic concepts remain the backbone of all these new developments. Consequently, a thorough understanding of the basic concepts is essential before one can tackle the more involved and applied areas of pharmacokinetics. Basic Pharmacokinetics consists of two parts: textual printed materials and highly interactive computer-based presentations. Together, these provide a useful combination that makes it easy to grasp basic principles. The computer-based information is presented in a self-instructional format, which introduces concepts, utilizing highly interactive graphical presentations and simulations. It visualizes the interplay between the different pharmacokinetic parameters, observing how the change in one or more of these parameters impacts the drug concentration-time profile in the body. Uniquely and carefully designed, the |

Effects of traditional- versus learning-style instructional strategies on community-college students’ achievement in and attitudes toward developmental reading and writing. $49.99 This researcher was first to use Building Excellence's (BE) (Rundle & Dunn, 2000) learning-styles strategies on developmental reading and writing students at the community-college level. The 103 participants were enrollees in multiple sections of one remedial English course at a New York City public two-year college. Students were subdivided into experimental and control groups with the intervention sample (n=53) completing the BE online. Their BE Learning and Productivity Style (LPS) profiles were analyzed by the researcher, a Dunn and Dunn Certified Learning-Style Trainer. The treatments consisted of workshops in which participants were taught learning-style strategies and study-skills techniques. Researcher-created materials provided strategies to use when traditional teaching methods did not accommodate students' learning styles. The research design compared the groups' pre- and posttest scores on the City University of New York (CUNY) American College Test (ACT) Reading Compass Test and CUNY/ACT Writing Sample (CUNY Office of Assessment, 2006). Participants' attitudes were assessed with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Adults (STAI) (Spielberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, Vagg, & Jacobs, 1983) administered as a pretest during the midterm examination period, with posttest responses collected before final examinations. Experimental group participants' reactions to doing homework through learning-style strategies were tallied with the Semantic Differential Scale (SDS) (Pizzo, 1981, 1982). BE data results showed that over 80% of the experimental sample ( n=53) had learning styles at variance with traditional teaching through lectures and readings. The largest proportion were tactile-kinesthetic ( n=22) learners who preferred hands-on learning and active body movement, and auditory-verbal (n=21) students who synthesized ideas best through peer-group interactions. Reading and writing results indicated significant achievement ( p ≤ .001) |

Factors impacting teacher change during a mathematics reform initiative. $49.99 This study examined teacher perceptions of the impact of intervention factors implemented during a grant-funded mathematics education initiative. Participant teachers identified both the interventions that most influenced their initial change to the use of standards-based mathematics practices, as well as the interventions that helped to sustain their use of standards-based mathematics. A researcher-developed survey instrument collected data from 199 elementary classroom teachers who have been involved with a major grant-funded mathematics change initiative, awarded to Rapid City Area Schools in Rapid City, South Dakota. Five-point Likert-type scales measured teacher perceptions of the impact of the following intervention factors: district-level classes, building-level classes, classroom coaching, day to day use of research-based instructional materials, district-level administrative support, building-level administrative support and student success as measured informally by teachers during the day-to-day practice of teaching, student success as measured by formally by the high-stakes state assessment for South Dakota, and student success as measured by a conceptual performance assessment. Overall, the teachers participating in this study reported that the grant had considerable impact on mathematics instruction; interventions were highly valued, and led to a high level of implementation of standards-based mathematics. Basic users, who are in the early stages of implementing standards-based mathematics, find day-to-day use of tested, research-based instructional materials; student learning as measured informally by teachers during the day-to-day practice of teaching; district-level classes; and district-level administrative support to have considerable impact prompting the initial change to standards-based mathematics.

Learning and Teaching K-8 Mathematics (with Understanding Children’s Mathematical Thinking Videowo $127.12 Real students… Real teaching… Real learning! Try it! This hands-on text takes an ACTIVE approach to teaching mathematics in grades K-8. Activities are embedded in each chapter for adult learners to complete to ensure that they are grasping the mathematics. Completing these activities provides future teachers with invaluable insight into how children think about and learn math, thereby equipping them with the skills to make sound instructional decisions. See it! Throughout the book and on the enclosed Understanding Children’s Mathematical Thinking VideoWorkshop CD-ROM, we see coauthor Karen Bush Hoiberg in action. A presidential award-winning elementary teacher, Karen provides a multitude of practical applications and real-world examples to give preservice teachers insight into how children think mathematically. Teach it! The text is organized around four general themes within each major mathematical content area: thinking about the mathematics, learning theories, the role of the teacher, and making algebraic connections. By actually DOING mathematics while analyzing learning theory, novice or preservice teachers are able to connect chapter concepts to actual classroom teaching practices. Many methods books assume that their readers know very little about learning theory and proceed to either overwhelm their readers or trivialize the material through a superficial chapter. Sharp and Hoiberg integrate learning theory throughout their text and show how learning theory can be viewed through mathematics in real classrooms without becoming tedious or distracting. –Chris Ohana, Western Washington University, Field Editor for the NSTAJournal of Science and Children College students planning to be elementary school teachers need a framework and examples that reflect contemporary notions about the teaching and learning of mathematics. Similarly, college methods professors need materials that challenge their s |

Mechanisms & Other Systems $12 Now elementary teachers can combine the best of science and technology education in a comprehensive curriculum based on everyday materials and artifacts. Mechanisms & Other Systems introduces a novel, engaging approach to teaching how and why basic technologies work-those devices, systems, procedures, and environments that improve people’s lives. You need not be a technical guru or rich in resources to get yourself and your students involved in science and technology. Simply use artifacts and systems that are all around you and available for free or at low cost. These devices you can find in your kitchen, closet, or bathroom: eggbeaters, nail clippers, and umbrellas, as well as electrical appliances, bicycles, faucets, and mousetraps. Let your students discover how to transform motion, convert energy, and/or process information to get a job done. At the same time, meet these instructional goals: introduce and explore fundamental themes of systems, inputs and outputs, and cause and effect illustrate and explore concepts of force, distance, motion, lever, simple machines, friction, electric current and circuit, information, control, feedback, and energy demystify common artifacts and, by extension, technology in general promote literacy as students formulate problems and find effective ways to communicate with others in order to achieve and document solutions develop process skills in observation, classification, generalization, use of materials, modelling, and design provide rich opportunities for group work. Mechanisms & Other Systems is one of a five-volume series, Stuff That Works! A Technology Curriculum for the Elementary Grades. Developed by City Technology of City College of New York, each volume helps teachers plan and implement classroom activities and units organized around a single topic-how and why a basic technology works.

Preservice elementary teachers learning to use curriculum materials to plan and teach science. $49.99 New elementary teachers rely heavily on curriculum materials, but available science curriculum materials do not often support teachers in meeting specified learning goals, engaging students in the inquiry and application practices of science, or leveraging students’ intellectual and cultural resources for learning. One approach to supporting new elementary teachers in using available science curriculum materials is to provide frameworks to scaffold preservice teachers’ developing lesson planning and teaching practices. The Inquiry-Application Instructional Model (I-AIM) and the Critical Analysis and Planning (CA&P) tool were designed to scaffold preservice teachers’ developing practice to use curriculum materials effectively to plan and teach science. The I-AIM identifies functions for each activity in an instructional sequence. The CA&P provides guides preservice teachers in modifying curriculum materials to better fit I-AIM and leverage students’ resources for learning. This study followed three elementary preservice teachers in an intern-level science method course as they learned to use the I-AIM and CA&P to plan and teach a science unit in their field placement classrooms. Using a sociocultural perspective, this study focused on the ways that the interns used the tools and the mediators that influenced how they used the tools. A color-coding analysis procedure was developed to identify the teaching patterns in the interns’ planned instructional approaches and enacted activity sequences and compare those to the patterns implied by the I-AIM and CA&P tools. Interviews with the interns were also conducted and analyzed, along with the assignments they completed for their science methods course, to gain insight into the meanings the interns made of the tools and their experiences planning and teaching science. The results show that all three interns had some successes using the I-AIM and CA&P to analyze their curriculum materials and to plan and teach science |

Real Lives: Art Teachers and the Cultures of Schools $15.72 What does it mean to be an art teacher today? What do art teachers do, what do they believe, what do they value, what obstacles do they face? In this day-in-the-life account, six art teachers provide a realistic picture of what life as an art teacher is really like. Real Lives is not a book about curriculum or learning theory, although these topics are discussed. Instead, it is grounded research exploring the narratives of good art teachers who are the heart of good art programs everywhere. These teachers work with African American, White, Hispanic, privileged, and challenged populations across all grades in urban and rural locations from Oregon to Florida and from Texas to Minnesota. In addition to better understanding these teachers’ drives, rewards, and frustrations, readers will learn more about specific issues and themes in the field, such as common instructional strategies, discipline techniques, routines, art content, and the logistics of materials and tools in a realistic, nonformulaic way. Some of the core issues raised are addressed as questions to promote further study and discussion in Chapter 8. All action, including teaching and learning, is rudderless without a reason. Together, these stories provide both an impetus for future art teachers to develop their own philosophies about art education and a crucible in which seasoned teachers may test existing outlooks. |
