This view takes into account the impact of technological advances and changes in formal, non-formal, and informal education, in addition to the 'fuzzy' metaspaces in between. Within this approach, we explore a panorama of options for future development of education that is relevant today. Invisible Learning does not propose a theory, but rather establishes a metatheory capable of integrating different ideas and perspectives. This has been described as a protoparadigm, which is still in the 'beta' stage of construction.Item Awakening of geometrical thought in early culture(MEP Publications, 2003) Gerdes, PaulusWhat is the origin of mathematics? Where did symbols and terms used by Bronze Age scribes come from? Gerdes finds the answer in human work--the activity of making tools, objects, and utensils--and the subsequent dynamic evolution to abstract concepts. He traces geometrical thinking in early history and also finds it in indigenous peoples-social activities that have survived colonization. In his foreword, Dirk Struik sees Gerdes's work as having wide application in improving school instruction in mathematics. --Publisher's summary.Item Befriending Bumble Bees: A Practical Guide to Raising Local Bumble Bees(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 2007) Evans, Elaine; Burns, Ian; Spivak, MarlaMethods for rearing native bumblebee, Bombus impatiens, in confinement.

For four of those years (2011–2015), MESI die-hards made a concerted effort to create a sustainable, self-funded institute that could survive in the context of a research university. They were, finally, unsuccessful. This is the story of what happened before, during, and after those years until the combination of the Director’s retirement and a global pandemic led to MESI’s ending in permanent hiatus. Content includes grounding in the evaluator education literature, a history and detailed description of the Institute, the logic on which it was built, and criteria and indicators for its success. The author discusses the positives and negatives of the experience and provides a Top Ten list of recommendations for others considering creating a similar structure.Item Best Practices for Field Days: A Program Planning Guidebook for Organizers, Presenters, Teachers and Volunteers(Regents of the University of Minnesota, University of Minnesota Extension, 2005) Blair, Robert B.; Carlson, Stephan P.; Bilotta, John B.; Montgomery, Kent L.; Ostlie, Karen M.; Prax, Valerie J.; Rager, Amy R.B.; Meyer, Nathan J.Field days are one approach to environmental education programming that provide effective means of bridging classroom learning with real-world issues or problems. Field Days are typically multi-station field trip events in which students and teachers rotate through multiple presentations on environmental topics. They can happen indoors or outdoors for audiences of tens to thousands of students. Following a review of relevant literature, program surveys, and feedback from University of Minnesota Extension Educators, a series of seven recommendations were developed for planning and delivering effective Environmental Field Day programs. This guidebook translates these recommendations into implications for the design and delivery of effective events, and provides resources to help event organizers, presenters and participant teachers effectively address these implications.Item Bibliography of theses and dissertations on ethnic textiles and dress.(International Textile and Apparel Association, 1993) Cerny, C.; Baizerman, S.; Eicher, J.B.Item Bicentennial history of Polk County, Minnesota: pioneers of the valley(University of Minnesota, Crookston, 1976) Polk County Historical Society (Polk County, Minn.)
