Pedagogy Y Secondary Text 2


The Civil and Environmental Engineering lecturer computed how to plan roads in a city.  He did this by planning a pedestrian bridge over a freeway.  First, he planned the struts of the bridge on either side of the laneways pointing in one direction.  Then, he planned the staircases to the top of the struts.  Then, he built the bridge between the struts.  In this way, he computed how to plan roads in a city by planning a pedestrian bridge over a freeway.
The Cognitive Scientist computed how to read optically altered text.  He did this by reading vertically stretched writing.  He did this by copying the line of pixels in the first row to another image.  Then, he copied the line of pixels in every five rows to another image, because the text had been vertically stretched by a scale factor of five.  Then, he read the text in the new image.  In this way, he computed how to read optically altered text by reading vertically stretched writing.
The second Civil and Environmental Engineering lecturer computed the stage of development of a boy.  He did this by testing whether all of his milk teeth had fallen out.  He did this by testing that the child was taller than when he was a preschool student.  Then, he tested that when he was a preschool student, he was taller than a toddler.  Then, he tested that when he was a toddler, he was taller than a baby.  In this way, the second Civil and Environmental Engineering lecturer computed the stage of development of a boy by testing whether all of his milk teeth had fallen out.
The Commercial Law in Asia lecturer calculated a mathematical property of a rugby ground.  He did this by calculating its perimeter.  First he measured the width of it, a.  Then, he measured the depth of it, b.  Then he calculated that it’s perimeter, p = (2 x a) + (2 x b) = 2 x (a + b), e.g. a = 100 m, b = 50 m, so p = 2 x (100 m + 50 m) = 2 x 150 m = 300 m.  In this way, the Commercial Law in Asia lecturer calculated a mathematical property of a rugby ground by calculating its perimeter.
The Science of Civil Engineering tutor explained how to play with a ball.  He did this by explaining how to catch it.  He first moved to where the ball would be thrown.  Then, he held out his hand to catch the ball.  Then, he caught the ball with his hand.  In this way, the Science of Civil Engineering tutor explained how to play with a ball by explaining how to catch it.
