This book acts as an introductory guide to understanding and using the mapping sentence as a tool in social science and humanities research. The book fills the need for a concise text that simply instructs how and when to use a mapping sentence and provides practical examples. Mapping sentences are a major research component and tool of facet theory. The book begins by covering the background to mapping sentence, including the philosophy and theory underpinning it. The following chapter discuss what mapping sentence is, what different kinds of mapping sentences exist, and knowing when and which to use it in a given situation. The book then moves into describing how to write a mapping sentence and how to analyse the information gained from mapping sentence research. It ends with a consideration of the future developments of mapping sentences and their applications across the social sciences and humanities, including in particular psychology, marketing, behavioural biology, art and health.

This book promotes student-centered approaches to the learning process, allowing students to develop skills and competences that traditional, passive learning methods cannot foster. In turn, supporting active learning with digital technology tools creates new possibilities in terms of pedagogical design and implementation. This book addresses the latest research and practice in the use of technology to promote active learning. As such, on the one hand, it focuses on active pedagogical methodologies like problem-based learning, design thinking and agile approaches; on the other, it presents best practice cases on the use of digital environments to support these methodologies. Readers will come to understand and learn to apply active learning methodologies, either by replicating the best practices presented here, or by creating their own methods.

In a world like today, man's very survival depends on his need and quest for Knowledge. Education is the vehicle to drive for this knowledge; Learning is the fuel that powers that vehicle's engine, which is Teaching. Engine and fuel components must be in good condition for a smooth operation of the vehicle. Our educational system has a malfunction in either or both of those components. As proof, President Obama cited a 50% High School drop out rate, when he recently proposed needed educational reform. Ineffective teaching or inadequate learning or both result in poor testing ability, which delays our journey to good education. Phil Labbe, from his school years and afterwards, discovered that learning from classroom only returned lower than expected test performance. Loving to learn, he realized that self-motivation, desire to learn on his own, plus classroom teaching, improved his learning potential and test results. He proved it to himself and to others. How and how much you learn make a difference. By taking an active part in his learning, the student/learner becomes selftutored; therefore, enters TUTOR YOURSELF. This book demonstrates that when students make a covenant with themselves to reach a definite goal, and condition themselves to follow strategies to enhance learning, they succeed with good test performances, higher grades, graduation and a good job. Unless we develop our innate skills for learning, it is very difficult to improve our lot. In this context, Phil Labbe developed and completed the method HOW TO PASS ALL TESTS. Tests are very important. While there is no known panacea against failing, the approach in this book shows that Active Learning does lead to more successful test passing. This book could give students a leg up in their "Race to the Top"(Reform campaign just launched by Education Dept.). It is a race that so vitally needs to be won.
