This week I
am the translator, so I have collected the five most important terms that has
been learnt on the week, and also I have to include the definition of each
concept.
The five
terms that I have selected are the following:
1.Textbook or course book : Manual of instructions presents in
all fields of study. Its production depends on
the demands of educational institutions. Textbooks can appreciate them in printed format and
even today there are eBooks (electronic books). It is a teaching tools, in many cases the content of
the textbook is based on the notes of a course.
2.Information graphics or infographics: Graphic visual representations. These may
be related to information, data or knowledge.
It aims to present complex information quickly and clearly. The use of graphics is useful for better
vision system. This may be related to data visualization, information design,
or information architecture.
3.Editorial: A
type of company that is responsible for the publication and distribution of
writings. The edition of the book does not include the activity of circulating
the information available to the general public (distribution). In some cases,
authors may be their own publishers.
4. De-professionalization: It is a process in which the range and professional
competence are disqualified. It aims to gradually reduce and eliminate the
quality and qualities that characterize a professional training and career university.
De-professionalization provokes teachers to lose autonomy and creativity. In
addition, this leads to a didactic immobility.
5. Epistemology: It is the branch of philosophy
whose object of study is knowledge. As a theory of knowledge, it is concerned
with issues such as the historical, psychological and sociological
circumstances that lead to the attainment of knowledge. This also meant a clear
and precise definition of the epistemic (for example truth, objectivity, reality
concepts or justification.)
We have made an infographic related to
textbook. In this graph we have included some points which I have selected the
most difficult to understand (editorial, de-professionalization, epistemology) .I
hope that these terms will be helpful to everyone, because they are necessary
to understand our work of this week.
