Perceptual Knowledge and Self-Awareness
There is a tendency, in contemporary epistemology, to treat 'perceptual knowledge' and 'self-knowledge' as labels for different and largely unconnected sets of philosophical problems.The project of this volume is to bring out how much is to be gained from treating the two topics as, on the contrary, intimately connected.One set of questions that comes into view when we do concerns the sense in which perceptual knowledge, as understood from the first-person perspective, seem to be 'direct'.In a famous passage, Austin contrasted reliance on what we call 'evidence' with the way perceptual experience 'settles' questions.How should we understand the difference? In what sense is perceptual knowledge 'direct', in contradistinction to evidence-based, inferential knowledge?A connected set of issues has to do with the relationship between the epistemic authority of perception and self-consciousness.Is the way perceptual experience 'settles' questions inherently manifest to the perceiver?Is a perceiver's awareness of (e.g.) seeing that p to be explained by reference to the very capacities at work in seeing that p? Or does it reflect the operation of some kind of second-order perceptual capacity?Consideration of these matters, in turn, prompts questions about the nature of the first-person perspective. 'I can see that p' is a first-person self-ascription.But does it express the distinctively immediate kind of knowledge commonly labelled first-person self-knowledge?How would an affirmative answer to this question bear on a philosophical understanding of the 'first-person perspective'?These are rough indications of some of the ways in which reflection on the relationship between perceptual knowledge and self-awareness promises to shed valuable light on both topics.

Cultural Awareness in Teaching Art and Design
Cultural Awareness in Teaching Art and Design addresses an emerging area of development in contemporary pedagogy, the fostering of cultural awareness and sensitivity in the designers of tomorrow. By offering new and unique examples of how to better educate students around issues of cultural awareness, this book presents teaching methodologies that ultimately facilitate students in becoming better, and more inclusive, art and design professionals.Today, the role of education in the addressing of social and cultural issues is increasingly seen as central to pedagogical methodologies.Through engaged teaching, experiential learning, socially orientated pedagogy or any other definition, the idea that students can and should be exposed to, and deal with, issues of importance to various stakeholders is increasingly seen as central to the teaching and learning experience – whether it be in relation to local communities, national economies, regional cultural identities or more.This is explored in a series of innovative, cross-disciplinary case studies in art and design teaching, with authors approaching questions of cultural awareness and engagement through the lenses of art history, product design, communication design, film, architecture and interior design.In presenting their pedagogical methodologies and case studies, the authors in this text offer a unique cross-disciplinary design perspective that captures the cultural and social concerns of several regions of the world: Europe, North America, Asia and Africa and the Middle East. This book will be essential reading for art and design educators and students interested in developing and applying models of cultural awareness and engagement in the classroom and studio.

Education Revolution : Media Literacy For Political Awareness
A plea for public education nationwide to teach media literacy, and specifically from the left of the political spectrum.Within, the author discusses his journalism curriculum, which includes lessons in media literacy, critical thinking, bias, the political spectrum, economics, current events, and more.Additionally, he makes the case that "politics" belong in the classroom as a mechanism to push back on the looming realities of late-stage capitalism and right-wing disinformation; a highly necessary argument given how teaching these sorts of matters in public schools can be met with angst by parents, administrations, school boards, etc.It's time for people to take back power, information, and education.

How crippling is self-awareness?
Self-awareness can be both a blessing and a curse. While it can help individuals understand their strengths and weaknesses, it can also lead to self-doubt and overthinking. Excessive self-awareness can sometimes hinder personal growth and create barriers to taking risks or trying new things. It is important to strike a balance between self-awareness and self-compassion to avoid feeling overwhelmed or paralyzed by one's thoughts and emotions.

With experience both as a scholar and a teacher, the author delves into the ontological and epistemological issues related to outdoor learning and education while keeping accessibility and sustainability at the centre of the volume.Chapters take a comprehensive approach to the exploration of children's innate spirituality and their connection with nature in the context of early childhood education, fusing elements such as a critique of early years policy with philosophy of education and children’s mental health.Using a robust theoretical foundation incorporating philosophical figures such as Froebel, McMillan, Montessori, Dewey and Freire, as well as the inclusion of practical examples from educational settings designed for real-world scenarios, this book reinvigorates the conversation around the holistic development of children by emphasising the importance of nature and child-centred pedagogies. Ultimately exploring avenues that can foster a sense of well-being and social responsibility in children, the book will be of interest to researchers, educators and teacher trainers in the field of early childhood education, environmental education, philosophy of education and teacher education.Policy makers and school leaders may also benefit from this volume.

LEARNING OUTCOMES Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 1 Mental Health or ‘emotional health’ or ‘well-being’ are just as important as good physical health but because mental illness is not 'visible', it makes it difficult for others to understand what someone is going through, even for those who are very close to that person.Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 2When planning personalised mental health care, medical teams need to consider the whole person and their needs alongside the theory or knowledge about mental health care that they/you already have.To support this, the learning objectives of this module include:• To prepare a care plan which is all-encompassing and consider all necessary aspects of individualised care;• To understand the needs and experiences of people with mental health conditions, or learning disabilities;• To understand how social perceptions can impact on those with learning disability or mental health;• To understand the adjustments which may be necessary in care delivery relating to an individual who may have a mental health condition, or learning disability;• To understand the role of medication and how withdrawal may impact upon an individual and how it should be handled.Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 3Many carers of people with mental health problems are concerned about how to respond to the person who is unwell. How can you help carers to set boundaries, and what should they consider to be acceptable and unacceptable behaviour?The learning objectives for this section are:• To understand and explore the approaches to care that respect service users' independence, choice and human rights;• To ensure you understand the difference between the use of restrictive practices and restrictive interventions and the appropriateness of their use.Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 4When living with either mental health problems or a learning disability, small things that may seem easy to other people are difficult to achieve.Each person with learning disability is unique.In terms of work, many are capable of performing a specific job well without requiring any additional assistance or modifications. Many have learned to compensate for their disabilities and seek employment utilising their areas of strength. Others may need additional help at work. It is important that potential employees with learning disabilities know all the required components of a job, allowing them to develop strategies and accommodations that can enhance their job performance.Mental Health andamp; Learning Disability Awareness - Module 5The process for handling learning disability and behavioural challenges for children is similar to the process for adults.As an overview to consolidate knowledge, NICE advise that when assessing challenging behaviour, the person being assessed remains the priority and is supported throughout the process.

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.

However, it is difficult to definitively determine the extent of self-awareness in animals, as it is a complex cognitive trait that is challenging to measure. More research is needed to fully understand the level of self-awareness in different animal species.
