As progressives, our solidarity must be with the people of Palestine and Israel who are fighting for such a future. Leftists should be under no illusions that Hamas, with its theocratic and reactionary ideology, shares this vision. Neither does the Israeli government, which today contains fascist elements who speak openly of ethnic cleansing. Our allies in Israel and Palestine are the brave activists and parliamentarians calling for an end to the current round of violence.

The findings on students’ epistemologies tell us that teaching should focuson the nature of the learning process, encouraging students to take a reflective, 72 Analysing the media for learning and teachinginterpretive approach to their learning. Marton and Booth describe several studiesthat attempted to do this, but all of which failed (Ibid. 168–171). They all sharethe technique of focusing the students’ awareness on the act of learning itself, e.g.by including in a text instructions on how to read it, to reflect on it, and tosummarise it. In all cases, the students responded by focusing on the guidancerather than the content of the text, thereby undermining any meaningful outcomethey might otherwise have derived.

The focus of the students’ attention is the ‘problem-in-context’,rather than the problem itself.

Educational values are beliefs about what matters within learning and teaching (Fawns et al. 2022), including ideals, standards, principles and qualities of intrinsic worth (Collinson 2012). Dron (2021), for example, argues that ‘caring for the subject, for learning, and for the learner are non-negotiable’. Other examples include vulnerability (Lee 2021), collaboration (Fawns et al. 2021b) or critical thinking (Harland and Pickering 2010).

4.2.2.3. Supportive relationshipsRespectful, safe and supportive relationships were thought to promote joy/happiness and love. Several academics drew attention to the importance of creating safe and containing learning environments (both physical locations and “emotional” spaces):A sense of security and by that I mean a sense of feeling comfortable in the lecturer’s presence or the tutor’s presence, to be able to feel confident to say what you want to say without feeling judged or possibly rejected. (Cultural studies lecturer)Feeling safe was, for some, a prerequisite for learning to occur and contributed to a sense of belonging – happiness, satisfaction and optimism were experienced through being “part of a community that is learning”.

This, therefore, means that students must be explicitly prepared for assessments and tasks within their taught curriculum.

Deep learning requires the development of skills and practice, which are less likely to grow without explicit support and direction.

The conditions of such a post-industrial society have existed in Europe since the end of World War II, when the first structuralist texts appeared there. In the United States, the conditions of post-industrialism have only appeared in the last few years, in the wake of Vietnam

For Sartre, as for the Abstract Expressionists, responsibility, action, ‘good faith,’ and the problem of inventing meaning and morality were the basic issues. It is as if to say that in the codeless world that war on such a scale had created, a world in which the usual laws of market and class – the mechanics of the bourgeois universe as it should be – were in abeyance, philosophy and art should be simply about the possible actions and decisions that a human being who has been stripped of his social role can undertake.

Meanwhile, the performance of confrontation continues. Popular disaffection with mainstream politics manifests as a rejection of its tribal, shouty style. PMQs is criticised for being too raucous, but that is a distracting irrelevance now that policy differences seem imperceptible. The problem is not "divisiveness" but its opposite: the lack of democratic choice.

Diagnosis is also completely unnecessary in a writing center context. Rinaldi explains: What my disability is, quite frankly, is none of your business. My disability does not impact my knowledge of my self. I will tell you what I need, and you don’t need to know my disability so that you can make that decision for me. (12–13)

While the very unsure writer is noted as being non-aggressive and needing nurturing, the ESL dependent and disabled dependent are described as smart, aggressive, and manipulative

a course leader who meets with a visually impaired member of the group before the beginning of a course to find out how hand-outs can be adapted so that the student can read them;

It is also worth noting that many of the errors will not be picked up by a standard spell checker or in some cases, by the student’s proof reading.

The techniques of editing and refining demand extra stamina and time, and need to be done in separate stages.

in building a link between the spatial part of our brain that we need to use in order to make marks on paper that make sense (that is, to write) and the verbal part of our brain that we need to compose meaningful utterances to supply our writing hand with, we strengthen the process by which important information is stored in our memory.
