EdD Program Reform and Signature Pedagogies for Activism

Signature pedagogies in the professions

Dædalus Summer 2005 The psychoanalyst Erik Erikson once observed that if you wish to understand a culture, study its nurseries. There is a similar principle for the understanding of professions: if you wish to understand why professions develop as they do, study their nurseries, in this case, their forms of professional preparation. When you do, you will generally detect the characteristic form...

Editorial: Signature Pedagogies and the Built Environment

In a lecture hosted by the National Research Council’s Center for Education, Shulman (2005) contrasted the different roles and responsibilities of faculty staff teaching students within subject areas or disciplines and those teaching students intending to practise within a professional area. Given the practice-oriented fields in which many built environment students go on to be employed such a ...

Signature Pedagogies in Doctoral Education: Are They Adaptable for the Preparation of Education Researchers?

Competently working with or “knowing” the literature of a field is important for scholarship in all disciplines, although it manifests somewhat differently in different fields. All researchers and scholars work within particular traditions and build on, modify, or overturn that which has gone before. Learning the literature requires far more than simply reading widely, regurgitating key phrases...

Signature submanifolds for some equivalence problems

This article concerned on the study of signature submanifolds for curves under Lie group actions SE(2), SA(2) and for surfaces under SE(3). Signature submanifold is a regular submanifold which its coordinate components are differential invariants of an associated manifold under Lie group action, and therefore signature submanifold is a key for solving equivalence problems.
