The Real Cleopatra
This three minute video explains how Cleopatra used religion to gain and maintain power. The video also explains that Cesar and Cleopatra were both part of certain ceremonies. Students would benefit from more background into this time period and the impact of Rome on Egypt.
Aztec Warriors
How Aztec boys were trained from birth to be warriors and how they believed that the Sun god needed human blood to quench its thirst. This two minute video uses images of artifacts from this time period.

We can see from the account on the previous page that human understanding of the universe has changed significantly over time. The social and political climate in which scientists work has always had a profound influence on what can and cannot be said, done, published or even postulated as worthy of further investigation. (You could undertake a similar study of the debates on hu 4.1 From awareness to understanding In this section the mathematical content is more obvious as we talk explicitly about what it means to know and to think in mathematics. We will also address your own personal knowledge in the subject. Like any other activity, doing and learning mathematics involves: using and adapting existing knowledge; acquiring and constructing new knowledge through thinking and learning; building up links that enable known t 1.5 Talking, thinking and learning One of the main points which the unit will be making is that information and knowledge are not the same thing and that, in order to learn, learners have to engage actively with new information. We hope that you will learn to apply your growing knowledge by relating it to your professional context, and that, by questioning and analysing both theory and practice, you will be able to reach your own conclusions. One way of engaging with knowledge is to ask questions. Earlier we suggested th 1.2 What the unit is about This unit is about the ways in which we come to know and make sense of the world, in particular how we do this using the media of language, mathematics and science. There are many possible theoretical positions which can be taken towards early years curricula. Some people, for example, think of children as ‘empty vessels’ which can be ‘filled’ with knowledge that is transmitted to them by adults. This view has been associated with a behaviourist approach to teac 1.1 An overview of the unit The relationship between observation of children and educational theory is central to the teaching of this unit: the theory should help you make sense of what you observe, while your observations should help you make sense of the theory. This perspective is reflected in the activities you will find in the blocks of study material. We recommend that you keep a notebook as you work through the unit. You can use this both for the activities that you do at home and for those that involve observat Introduction The unit focuses on the knowledge, learning and thinking of children aged between 3 and 8 years old. It has been written for an audience of practitioners working in the full range of early years care and education settings: you may be a teaching assistant in an early years class, a nursery nurse, a playgroup worker or leader, or a childminder; you may work voluntarily in an early years setting. But whatever the context in which you are working, we expect you to be working there regularly, for Next steps Examples References 5.1 Children's rights The story of the Palmer family is presented in the audio below, and it provides material about working with families. The case study is a dramatic presentation of a reconstituted family consisting of three generations living in the same household. During th 4.5 Vulnerability and rights One of the assumptions that is made in order to justify social workers making such life-changing judgements is that some people are vulnerable and therefore need decisions made on their behalf. This assumption is not held by everyone and is often challenged by groups and individuals representing service users and by service users themselves. 4.2 Social work roles in practice You will already have taken a look at the Framework documents for your nation, all of which contain broadly the same key roles, but you may like to review them now. It can sometimes be difficult to see how these roles actually translate into working with real people in actual social work settings. It is important that you are able to do this as it will be something that you need to do in order to produce evidence on your practice learning opportunities. The following activity takes just one o 4.1 Introduction: the social context of social work Extract 1 discussed the four components of good practice: Knowledge, Skills, Values and Process. From Extract 2 you will now have an understanding of ‘individual people’ in social work: the service providers and the service users. Respecting the individuality of each person is a central value of social work, but as the name suggests, social work is not only about indi 3.10 References for Extract 2 Bean, P. and Melville, J.

Social work is about working with people, as service users and as colleagues, and you are also one of the people in this process. I hope that working through the module and listening to the audio clips have prompted you to reflect on your practice. You will find that many of the themes and issues you have exp 3.7.1 Spoiled identities: stigma In his classic book Stigma (1963) the sociologist Erving Goffman argues that stigma is a relationship of devaluation in which an individual is disqualified from full social acceptance. Society establishes ways of categorising persons and what are felt to be the ‘natural’ or ‘normal’ attributes for each category. Stigma, then, is essentially a pejorative label that sticks, one that is applied to an individual's ‘differentness’, their perceived non-confo
