(40) Energy: The Fuel for The Human Body and for Life

Profs. A. Rozenboym and E. Devany

This learning community links BIO 11(Lecture 8P, 17013; Lab 8PL, 17031) with BIO 5050 (2P, 38014). This learning community will explore the human physiology and applied math (quantitative reasoning) concepts in the context of energy. Our courses will center around biological, ecological and environmental roles of energy such as energy sources, uses, conversions and sustainability. Gaining insight in significance of energy for human body as well as whole ecosystems will help students become educated consumers and  broad-minded health care professionals.

(39B) The Art of Teaching

Professos S. Carpenter, P. Fiume, & T. Seddio

This learning community links Student Teaching (EDC 9105, 2P, 18274),  a workshop course focused on art education which also has a field component (EDC 22, 2P, 16771), and an integrative seminar (EDC 5050, 1P, 20128).  EDC 9105 is typically the first student teaching course taken by early childhood/child care majors within Kingsborough’s Education Program. A main focus of EDC 9105 is for students to design and carry-out lessons with small groups of children at their student teaching field placements. EDC 22 is a co-requisite with EDC 9105 where students learn how to design and carry-out activities with children. Students then implement the philosophy and practical skills developed in the art education course (EDC 2200) at the field placements associate with EDC 9105 (as well as carrying out art activities at an independent site associated with EDC 22). The integrative seminar of the learning community functions to expand students understanding related to their student teaching including art education and works to enable students to make explicit the connections among the courses in the link. Objectives, goals, topics and issues of pedagogy inherent to these courses are intrinsically linked to the overall philosophy that Kingsborough’s Education Program promotes and advocates for: learning through play, hands-on activities, creativity, and student centered learning.

SPA 01 will focus in acquisition of basic vocabulary and the elements of grammar for conversation, comprehension, reading and writing with emphasis on correct pronunciation through intensive oral practice, use of language laboratory, and audio-visual materials. In CA 5050, students will practice applied Spanish for the workplace to facilitate basic communication with people whose native language is Spanish. Emphasis is on oral communication and career-specific vocabulary that targets hospitality service professions. Upon completion, students should be able to communicate at a basic level with native speakers and demonstrate cultural sensitivity. Strong emphasis will be on the knowledge and understanding of the Hispanic culture.
