Como Mejorar La Coordinacion y Equilibrio de Tu Hijo


Book Description

Este obra trata sobre las llamadas "capacidades coordinativas," "capacidades motrices" o "capacidades coordinativo-equilibradoras." Es decir, aquellas que se encargan de regular y organizar el movimiento, sus elementos cualitativos (Morente, 2005). No olvidemos que toda habilidad motriz tiene dos componentes muy ligados: fisico (mas aprisa, mas veces...) y motor (hacerlo bien). Si observamos unas acciones tecnicas en deportistas de elite, la elegancia y la economia de las mismas nos pareceran asequibles de reproducir. En realidad, esta aparente sencillez esta basada en una serie de complicadisimos mecanismos que, interactuando ordenada y sincronicamente unos con otros, dan como resultado ese movimiento digno de admirar (Conde y Viciana, 2001). El titulo del tema hace que coordinacion y equilibrio las veamos por separado aunque en su practica estan yuxtapuestas. Su nivel dependera de la genetica del individuo, y de las oportunidades y experiencias ludicas vividas desde las primeras edades (Rivadeneyra, 2003). Asi pues, veremos en la primera parte del libro todo lo relacionado con la coordinacion: concepto, definiciones, tipos, su evolucion y sus practicas escolares y en la segunda haremos el mismo procedimiento pero con el equilibrio. Ademas, un buen nivel coordinativo repercute decisivamente en un mejor y mas rapido de los aprendizajes basicos escolares.







Focused Observations


Book Description

Intentional teaching begins with focused observations and systematic documentation of children's learning and development. This book is filled with tools and techniques designed to help early childhood educators purposefully observe children, create portfolios with rich documentation, and plan curriculum that supports every child. Discussion questions, observation practice exercises, and reflection assignments are included, as well as DVD with classroom vignettes showcasing observation techniques. Gaye Gronlund is an early childhood education consultant who trains early childhood educators across the country. Marlyn James is an education and early childhood professor.




Overcoming Autism


Book Description

There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.













Applied Biomechatronics Using Mathematical Models


Book Description

Applied Biomechatronics Using Mathematical Models provides an appropriate methodology to detect and measure diseases and injuries relating to human kinematics and kinetics. It features mathematical models that, when applied to engineering principles and techniques in the medical field, can be used in assistive devices that work with bodily signals. The use of data in the kinematics and kinetics analysis of the human body, including musculoskeletal kinetics and joints and their relationship to the central nervous system (CNS) is covered, helping users understand how the complex network of symbiotic systems in the skeletal and muscular system work together to allow movement controlled by the CNS. With the use of appropriate electronic sensors at specific areas connected to bio-instruments, we can obtain enough information to create a mathematical model for assistive devices by analyzing the kinematics and kinetics of the human body. The mathematical models developed in this book can provide more effective devices for use in aiding and improving the function of the body in relation to a variety of injuries and diseases. - Focuses on the mathematical modeling of human kinematics and kinetics - Teaches users how to obtain faster results with these mathematical models - Includes a companion website with additional content that presents MATLAB examples




The Intentional Teacher


Book Description

Young children and teachers both have active roles in the learning processHow do preschoolers learn and develop? What are the best ways to support learning in the early years? This revised edition of The Intentional Teacher guides teachers to balance both child-guided and adult-guided learning experiences that build on children's interests and focus on what they need to learn to be successful in school and in life.This edition offers new chapters on science, social studies, and approaches to learning. Also included is updated, expanded information on social and emotional development, physical development and health, language and literacy, mathenatics, and the creative arts. In each chapter are many practical teaching strategies that are illustrated with classroom-based anecdotes.The Intentional Teacher encourages readers to- Reflect on their principles and practices- Broaden their thinking about appropriate early curriculum content and instructional methods- Discover specific ideas and teaching strategies for interacting with children in key subject areasIntentional teaching does not happen by chance. This book will help teachers apply their knowledge of children and of content to make thoughtful, intentional use of both child-guided and adult-guided experiences.
