FHE Coloring Books: the First Vision

Teaching and learning in a college setting has never been more challenging. How can instructors reach out to their students and fully engage them in the conversation? Applicable to multiple disciplines, the Decoding the Disciplines Paradigm offers a radically new model for helping students respond to the challenges of college and provides a framework for understanding why students find academic life so arduous. Teachers can help their pupils overcome obstacles by identifying bottlenecks to learning and systematically exploring the steps needed to overcome these obstacles. Often, experts find it difficult to define the mental operations necessary to master their discipline because they have become so automatic that they are invisible. However, once these mental operations have been made explicit, the teacher can model them for students, create opportunities for practice and feedback, manage additional emotional obstacles, assess results, and share what has been learned with others.

Seven Steps to Increased Student Learning

The Decoding the Disciplines Paradigm

Lévi-Strauss is one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century yet he is a very private and isolated figure, who has been reticent about himself. This book, first published in 1983,provides a fascinating insight into his character through a careful reading of the more speculative passages of his books and interviews. His personal existential and psychological orientation is explored through a structural analysis of Tristes Tropiques, his most personal book, and his writings on art, nature and civilization and through a consideration of his debt to Rousseau. Dr Pace examines in depth Lévi-Strauss’s critique of cultural evolutionism and his attack on the notion of world history. He assesses the political implications of Lévi-Strauss’s own interpretation of human progress through an examination of his debates with Sartre and other Marxists in the 1950s and 1960s and his subsequent movement to the right. The author’s concern throughout is to place the world-view of this great French anthropologist in the context of twentieth-century intellectuals’ struggle to come to grips with cultural relativism and the ‘problem’ of the primitive.

Jonas Bridges is a typical family man, working as an Advertising executive in Philadelphia, living a life that is pretty close to perfect with his expecting wife, and two children. That is until an unexpected inheritance forces him and his family to face a past they have been running from. The inheritance leads him, along with his entire family, down to South Carolina, where the past intersects with his perfect life, and it all begins to deteriorate before his eyes. The stress of the estate he has inherited causes his parents to separate and, just when Jonas thinks it can t get any worse, a car wreck kills his wife and children. Now Jonas must find the faith he never had to use before. Guided by his pastor and his brother, who also suffered misfortune, Jonas must work hard to regain his life. It won t be an easy task, but with a little faith, anything can happen.
