Bøger af David W. Johnson

Med udgangspunkt i, at læring er deltagelse, giver denne bog forskellige danske og internationale perspektiver på fænomenet Cooperative Learning (CL) - også kaldet 'Kooperativ Læring' eller 'samarbejdslæring'. Cooperative Learning kan beskrives som en særlig måde at organisere undervisning og læreprocesser på. Herudfra præsenterer bogens artikler læseren for et internationalt udsyn, et historisk tilbageblik, en ny præsentation af CL, dansk forskning og danske skolers erfaringer med CL samt et møde med en 'kritisk ven'. Samtidig diskuteres CL i relation til vigtige emner i den danske pædagogiske debat, nemlig klasse- og læringsledelse samt arbejdet med de sociale kompetencer og den alsidige dannelse. Argumenterne er evidensbaserede, når forfatterne forsøger at finde svar på spørgsmål, som hvordan defineres CL, og virker CL overhovedet efter hensigten? Bogen henvender sig til lærere, studerende på læreruddannelserne og andre interesserede, der ønsker en bredere indføring til Cooperative Learning i teori og praksis.

In the first study of its kind, David W. Johnson's Watsuji on Nature reconstructs the astonishing philosophy of nature of Watsuji Tetsuro (1889-1960), situating it in relation both to his reception of the thought of Heidegger and to his renewal of core ontological positions in classical Confucian and Buddhist philosophy.

David Johnson examines the Christian spiritual life using the Book of Confessions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) as a guide.

Carter and Ralph Stanley - the Stanley Brothers - are comparable to Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs as important members of the earliest generation of bluegrass musicians. In this first biography of the brothers, author David W. Johnson documents that Carter (1925-1966) and Ralph (b 1927) were equally important contributors to the tradition of old-time country music.

This book documents CCPS's Aerosol Research Program to develop a model to predict liquid rainout from release of a pressurized, liquefied gas--and, hence the residual amount of material in a vapor cloud, which may be greater than the amount calculated from an enthalpy chart. RELEASE predicts the rate of fluid discharge, the depressurization, flashing and formation of liquid drops, the entrainment of drops into the vapor cloud, the subsequent spreading of the jet, and rate of liquid rainout to a pool on the ground. Designed in a modular fashion to permit adjustment and corrections as new data become available, its multi-layered approach contains sub-models that include the complexities of many variables, including the effect of liquid superheat, rate of bubble growth, criterion for bubble formation, and heat transfer from the liquid to the growing vapor bubble. To validate RELEASE, CCPS conducted small- and large-scale experiments using superheated water, heated liquefied chlorine, methylamine, and cyclohexane that produced valuable data in an area where data are scarce. This book gives complete access, in text and on CD-ROM, to the model and the test data, giving users an informed ability to apply the model to their own work.
