Pragmatist Philosophy for Critical Knowledge, Learning and Consciousness : A New Epistemological Framework for Education
Emerging from the confusion and chaos of neoliberal economic systems around the world, this book brings together a collection of major philosophical ideas from previous centuries and applies them to the practice of education.The book argues that pragmatist philosophy is the most appropriate to guide the organisation of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment.It outlines a number of philosophical dilemmas, exploring these in relation to particular philosophers and offers philosophical insights for educational practice.Further, the book proposes Critical Praxis Bricolage, an epistemological framework articulating a view that education practices are embedded in a social context.This reshapes formal education from being dominated by the market forces of neoliberalism, into a way of ethical life that respects the dignity and knowledgeability of each person and community regardless of background.Written in a narrative style, Pragmatist Philosophy for Critical Knowledge, Learning and Consciousness provides a philosophical paradigm of experience, culture and inquiry that actively connects with human interests of the everyday and with the distinctiveness of being human.This work will be of interest to researchers and higher degree students of education and philosophy of education.

What is the accuracy of watches?
The accuracy of watches can vary depending on the type and quality of the watch. Mechanical watches, which are powered by a mainspring and regulated by a balance wheel, are generally less accurate than quartz watches, which are powered by a battery and regulated by a quartz crystal. Mechanical watches can have an accuracy of around -10 to +30 seconds per day, while quartz watches can have an accuracy of around -0.5 to +0.5 seconds per day. However, some high-end mechanical watches, such as chronometers, can achieve very high levels of accuracy, often within a few seconds per day.

What causes shaky hands and affects accuracy?
Shaky hands can be caused by a variety of factors, including anxiety, stress, fatigue, caffeine or nicotine consumption, low blood sugar, or certain medical conditions such as essential tremor or Parkinson's disease. These factors can affect accuracy by making it difficult to maintain a steady grip or control over fine motor movements, leading to shakiness and decreased precision. Additionally, shaky hands can also impact hand-eye coordination, making it harder to aim or perform tasks that require steady, controlled movements.

What determines the accuracy of a photocopy?
The accuracy of a photocopy is determined by several factors, including the quality of the original document, the resolution and capabilities of the photocopier, and the settings used during the copying process. A high-quality original document with clear and sharp text or images will generally result in a more accurate photocopy. Additionally, using a photocopier with high resolution and advanced features, such as image enhancement and automatic color correction, can also contribute to the accuracy of the copy. Finally, adjusting the settings such as brightness, contrast, and paper type can further improve the accuracy of the photocopy.

How does WLAN contribute to location accuracy?
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) contributes to location accuracy by providing access points that can be used to triangulate the position of a device. By measuring the signal strength and distance from multiple access points, the device can calculate its position with greater accuracy. This allows for more precise location-based services and applications, such as indoor navigation, asset tracking, and location-based advertising. WLAN also enables the use of Wi-Fi positioning systems, which can complement GPS and improve location accuracy in indoor environments where GPS signals may be weak or unavailable.

What is the accuracy of the coronavirus test?
The accuracy of the coronavirus test can vary depending on the type of test being used. The PCR test, which is considered the gold standard, is highly accurate with a low rate of false negatives. However, false negatives can still occur due to issues with sample collection or timing of the test. Rapid antigen tests are less accurate than PCR tests and have a higher rate of false negatives. It is important to consider the limitations of each test when interpreting results.
