How do you make sense of the world and everything in it? Imagine possessing the ability to delve into the depths of why you make sense of existence and everything in it as you do and then act accordingly. Would you be able to move past current limitations, actual or perceived? Could you identify new opportunities you hadn’t seen before? Would you understand yourself, others and the world in a more comprehensive and accurate way? In a world overflowing with information, rife with confusion and inauthenticities, and where quick fixes and superficial solutions are commonly favoured, the key to genuine comprehension and sustainable change lies deep beneath the surface. In METACONTENT, Ashkan Tashvir takes you on an insightful journey into the intricate multi-dimensional aspects of sense-making: how we interpret complex information and experiences to create meaning and navigate the world. Failing to adhere to a comprehensive sense-making process leads to further confusion, misunderstandings, suboptimal decisions, decision paralysis and missed opportunities, impacting your ability to lead a fulfilling and effective life. Tashvir not only synthesises a range of insights from science and philosophy but also introduces a disruptive metacontent discourse that dispels the myths, explores the profound depths of sense-making and reveals the intricate layers that shape our understanding of everything from material reality to abstract ideas and manufactured constructs and institutions. Discover the groundbreaking Nested Theory of Sense-making. Central to this book, Tashvir reveals his Nested Theory of Sense-making for the first time. This original concept provides a structured multilayered approach for navigating life’s complexities and transforming your analysis and decision-making abilities. METACONTENT follows Tashvir’s best-selling books BEING, HUMAN BEING and BECOMING – The Emergence of Being.
Real World ASP.NET
Real World ASP.NET: Building a Content Management System provides web developers with a cost-effective way to develop a content management system within Microsoft's .NET Framework. Unlike other .NET books on ASP.NET that teach technologies on a piecemeal basis, this book explains the underlying technologies and also shows how they are integrated into a complete ASP.NET application suitable for many organizations. Complete source code written in C# and ASP.NET is included, which will enable web developers to create a dynamic content site at a fraction of the cost of a commercial solution. You will learn about the following: Content management system: This system used to manage the content of a website consists of the content management, metacontent management, and content delivery applications. C# and ASP.NET: These underlying technologies are introduced and then applied extensively. ADO.NET: All aspects relevant to dynamic content management are covered. XML: Extensible Markup Language (XML) is introduced and then applied in the programmatic updating of the config.web file. Authentication, authorization, and encryption: These topics are discussed in the book, especially with regard to protected content and system administration. Personalization: Many key technologies are used to make the CMS solution truly user-friendly. Real-World ASP.NET: Building a Content Management System is the complete hands-on guide to mastering the art of content management systems and website development using the .NET Framework.

"Rarely have I been so convinced by the power of a new theoretical underpinning for a pedagogical technique such as the one presented here." —Helen Darlington, Faculty Progress Leader for Science at South Wirral High School (reviewed in School Science Review). From the author of Biology Made Real, Difference Maker reveals how to teach with students rather than merely teach to them. Without slides or worksheets, it shows how to provoke understanding through diagrams and dialogue – bringing forth a distinct teaching approach. Inside you’ll find: The recursive teaching model. An evidence and theory inspired model for co-constructing meaning with students rather than just telling them or having them discover alone. Detailed examples of real lessons. The exact diagrams I’ve drawn in lessons and how I’ve built them step by step with students. Plus the questions I’ve asked, at what point in the lesson, and why. A theory-informed how-to guide for planning explanations. How to explain biological concepts by applying the variation theory of learning and enactive cognitive science. The resulting heuristic cuts planning time while vastly improving students’ understanding. A theory-informed how-to guide for adaptive teaching. Adapting is essential in the moment as you never know how students will interpret a new explanation. With an original model for productive conversation, I unveil the types of questions that generate understanding and rich feedback for the teacher. These looping conversations trigger a coordinated co-regulation between teacher and students, ensuring mutual understanding before moving forward. A theory-informed how-to guide for co-constructing stock and flow diagrams. There are several benefits: 1. building these models clarifies your understanding to yourself and your students, and 2. teaching becomes more conceptual, conversational, adaptive, and enjoyable. I show how to read, design, and teach with them through detailed lesson examples. Plus an appendix of 37 diagrams I’ve used with my classes. A new model of curricular content: metacontent. The curriculum is not just a list of content of equal weight. There are fundamental ideas that give meaning to the rest of the curriculum. By including this metacontent in teaching, a shared way of seeing and talking about our subjects emerges. The first type of metacontent I explain is a set of principles that I share with students and discuss during every topic. These unifying principles avoid the feeling that biology is just a lot of facts to learn. The second type is understanding understanding itself. I share a taxonomy of understanding that allows students to grasp what I expect of them in every topic. I provide example sentences for each level of understanding, questions I’ve asked to test my students’ understanding, and answers my students have given. A way of seeing and being. Rather than a training manual with activities to follow, this book provides teachers with a new conception of teaching, learning, and acting together in the classroom. The novel insights of Difference Maker will inevitably change your perception.
