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.

Constructing Pragmatist Knowledge : Education, Philosophy and Social Emancipation
Constructing Pragmatist Knowledge reintroduces an explicit and systematic philosophical approach to education through American Pragmatism, expanding and detailing the practice of pragmatism itself for practitioners across various fields of social action.While a number of theorists are referenced, it focuses on the work of the original pragmatists Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, John Dewey, George Herbert Mead and Jane Addams.It is written in a narrative style and connects personal and professional experience of the author with philosophical description, analysis and explanation.Major themes of pragmatism are encountered throughout involving knowledge, experience, inquiry, social acts, dialectic and contradiction, giving rise to human constructs of values, moral conduct and bricolage.Reintroducing pragmatism and epistemology as the focus of teaching and learning heralds revolutionary and democratic change for education systems worldwide and corrects neoliberal tendencies that impose anti-educational ideological, economic and political distortions.This book will be of interest to academics, graduate students, teachers and pre-service teachers, policy makers and researchers in education, philosophy, sociology and epistemology.

What causes lack of concentration when learning?
Lack of concentration when learning can be caused by a variety of factors. These can include distractions in the environment, such as noise or visual stimuli, as well as internal factors like fatigue, stress, or hunger. Additionally, lack of interest or motivation in the subject matter can also lead to difficulty concentrating. Finally, underlying issues such as attention deficit disorders or anxiety can also contribute to a lack of concentration when learning.

How can one have more concentration while learning?
One can improve concentration while learning by creating a dedicated study environment free from distractions, setting specific goals and deadlines for each study session, taking regular breaks to prevent burnout, and practicing mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing or meditation to stay focused. Additionally, staying organized and breaking down complex topics into smaller, more manageable chunks can help improve concentration and retention of information. Lastly, incorporating regular exercise, proper nutrition, and sufficient sleep into one's routine can also enhance concentration and overall cognitive function.

How does hunger arise from high concentration and learning?
Hunger can arise from high concentration and learning due to the increased energy expenditure of the brain during these activities. When we are deeply focused on a task or learning new information, our brain requires more glucose and nutrients to function effectively. As a result, our body may signal hunger to replenish these energy stores. Additionally, the mental exertion of concentration and learning can also lead to stress, which can trigger hunger as a physiological response to alleviate the stress. Overall, the cognitive demands of concentration and learning can lead to increased energy needs, which may manifest as hunger.

Why are concentration camps actually called concentration camps?
Concentration camps are called so because they concentrate a large number of people in a confined area, often under harsh conditions. The term "concentration" refers to the act of bringing together or focusing a specific group of individuals in one place. These camps were historically used to detain and oppress specific groups of people, such as political dissidents, minorities, or prisoners of war, with the goal of controlling and monitoring them closely.

Encountering Global Environmental Politics : Teaching, Learning, and Empowering Knowledge
Recognizing that many undergraduate courses on global environmental ills, though well intentioned, erode students' sense of the possible, this collection of essays (all by teacher-scholars in the field) draws students and teachers of global environmental politics into classroom conversation about the overwhelming nature of global environmental threats, the tenuous and sometimes counterproductive links between knowledge and power, and ways of acting powerfully in the world in service of 'sustainability.'

How does the enzyme concentration affect the substrate concentration?
The enzyme concentration directly affects the rate of reaction by increasing the likelihood of collisions between the enzyme and substrate molecules. As the enzyme concentration increases, there are more active sites available to bind with the substrate molecules, leading to a faster rate of reaction. However, once all the active sites are occupied, further increases in enzyme concentration will not have a significant effect on the rate of reaction unless the substrate concentration is also increased. Therefore, the enzyme concentration and substrate concentration both play a crucial role in determining the rate of reaction.

What is the difference between concentration and ion concentration?
Concentration refers to the amount of a substance present in a given volume of solution, typically measured in moles per liter (M). It can refer to the amount of any substance, such as a solute or a solvent, in a solution. On the other hand, ion concentration specifically refers to the amount of ions present in a solution. This can be the concentration of a specific type of ion, such as the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. Therefore, while concentration is a more general term that can refer to any substance, ion concentration specifically refers to the amount of ions in a solution.

What is the difference between molar concentration and mass concentration?
Molar concentration is a measure of the amount of a substance in a given volume of solution, expressed in moles per liter (mol/L). Mass concentration, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of a substance in a given volume of solution, expressed in grams per liter (g/L). Molar concentration takes into account the molecular weight of the substance, while mass concentration simply considers the mass of the substance present in the solution.

What is the difference between mass concentration and molar concentration?
Mass concentration refers to the amount of solute present in a given volume of solution, typically expressed in units such as grams per liter. On the other hand, molar concentration, also known as molarity, refers to the number of moles of solute present in a given volume of solution, typically expressed in units of moles per liter. In other words, mass concentration is based on the mass of the solute, while molar concentration is based on the number of moles of the solute.
