Why is overcoming the resistance to learning so difficult?
Overcoming resistance to learning can be difficult because it often involves challenging existing beliefs, habits, and comfort zones. People may be hesitant to learn something new if it requires them to admit they don't know something or if it threatens their sense of competence. Additionally, fear of failure or change can also contribute to resistance to learning. Overcoming these barriers requires patience, encouragement, and creating a supportive environment that fosters a growth mindset.

What impact did youth resistance have during the Nazi era?
Youth resistance during the Nazi era had a significant impact as it challenged the indoctrination and control of the Hitler Youth and other Nazi organizations. Young people engaged in acts of defiance, such as distributing anti-Nazi leaflets, participating in underground resistance groups, and refusing to conform to Nazi ideology. Their resistance efforts helped to spread dissent and opposition to the regime, inspiring others to resist and contributing to the eventual downfall of the Nazi regime. Despite facing severe consequences, including imprisonment and death, youth resistance played a crucial role in preserving a sense of moral integrity and resistance against the oppressive Nazi regime.

What is the difference between resistance and specific resistance?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself. Specific resistance, also known as resistivity, is a material property that quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. It is a characteristic of the material's composition and is used to calculate the resistance of a specific shape and size of material.

What are the tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes?
The tolerances for resistance chains and resistance cubes typically vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific product. However, in general, resistance chains and cubes are designed to have tight tolerances to ensure accurate and consistent resistance levels for users. It is common for resistance chains and cubes to have tolerances within a few percentage points to maintain their effectiveness and reliability during workouts. It is recommended to refer to the product specifications provided by the manufacturer for more detailed information on the tolerances of specific resistance chains and cubes.

Employing Community-Based Experiential Learning in Teacher Education
This book positions itself at the intersection of the interrelationship between three key areas of initial teacher education: constructivist learning theories, teaching practicum, and the promotion of reflective practices.It presents an innovative approach to teacher preparation at undergraduate and postgraduate levels by critically examining the implementation of a mandatory experiential learning block across subject disciplines on undergraduate and postgraduate teacher preparation courses.This book presents multiple examples and case studies of these varied experiential learning projects that will inform academics, teachers and policymakers.Through these rich examples the authors set out to address the theory-practice dilemma in teacher education, where teachers-to-be are often positioned as ‘consumers’ of educational research in classrooms, read reference books and academic papers on teaching, and observe university and school experts before applying the same acquired theories and practices in their own classes.In the book the authors argue for a shift away from this conventional teacher-learning curriculum that is characterised by the separation of theory and practice, choosing instead to promote pedagogy and methods courses where practice underpins all learning.These pedagogical perspectives include the promotion of a diverse range of learning contexts (including on- and off-campus learning sites) for student teachers to experience during their time on teacher education courses.

Toward Positive Youth Development : Transforming Schools and Community Programs
Social settings have enormous power to promote or hinder positive youth development.Researchers and practitioners know a great deal about features of schools and programs for youth that affect development, but much less about how to transform settings to bring about these desirable features.This book shows how to harness the power of settings.It shifts the debate from simply enhancing youth outcomes at the individual level to improving the settings of youths' daily lives.The book offers researchers and practitioners blueprints for creating and changing influential settings including classrooms, schools, universities, out-of-school time programs, ethnic systems of supplementary education, and other community-based programs.Leading scholars in psychology, education, human development, sociology, anthropology, economics, law, and public policy discuss a wide array of social change strategies, and describe how to measure key features of settings as a target and guide for change.The authors also demonstrate how larger social structures - such as school districts, community coalitions, community data resources - can support change.Many of the chapters describe ways to make settings work for all youth, including those marginalized by reason of race, ethnicity, social class, or sexual orientation.Toward Positive Youth Development will guide researchers, educators, administrators and policy makers to improve schools and youth programs for all of America's youth.

Youth Resistance Research and Theories of Change
Youth resistance has become a pressing global phenomenon, to which many educators and researchers have looked for inspiration and/or with chagrin.Although the topic of much discussion and debate, it remains dramatically under-theorized, particularly in terms of theories of change.Resistance has been a prominent concern of educational research for several decades, yet understandings of youth resistance frequently lack complexity, often seize upon convenient examples to confirm entrenched ideas about social change, and overly regulate what "counts" as progress.As this comprehensive volume illustrates, understanding and researching youth resistance requires much more than a one-dimensional theory.Youth Resistance Research and Theories of Change provides readers with new ways to see and engage youth resistance to educational injustices.This volume features interviews with prominent theorists, including Signithia Fordham, James C.Scott, Michelle Fine, Robin D.G. Kelley, Gerald Vizenor, and Pedro Noguera, reflecting on their own work in light of contemporary uprisings, neoliberal crises, and the impact of new technologies globally.Chapters presenting new studies in youth resistance exemplify approaches which move beyond calcified theories of resistance.Essays on needed interventions to youth resistance research provide guidance for further study.As a whole, this rich volume challenges current thinking on resistance, and extends new trajectories for research, collaboration, and justice.

How do I calculate the resistance with the internal resistance?
To calculate the total resistance with the internal resistance, you can use the formula: R_total = R_internal + R_external, where R_total is the total resistance, R_internal is the internal resistance, and R_external is the external resistance. This formula takes into account the resistance from both the internal and external components of the circuit. By adding the internal and external resistances together, you can determine the total resistance in the circuit.

What is the difference between insulation resistance and surface resistance?
Insulation resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current through the insulation material between two conductors, while surface resistance measures the resistance to the flow of current across the surface of a material. Insulation resistance is typically used to assess the effectiveness of insulation materials in preventing current leakage, while surface resistance is used to evaluate the cleanliness and conductivity of surfaces in electronic and electrical applications. In summary, insulation resistance measures the resistance through a material, while surface resistance measures the resistance across a material's surface.

What is the difference between electrical resistance and specific resistance?
Electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current in a material, measured in ohms. It is a property of the material itself and is dependent on factors such as the material's dimensions and temperature. Specific resistance, on the other hand, is a material property that quantifies how much a material resists the flow of electric current compared to a standard material. It is also known as resistivity and is measured in ohm-meters. In essence, electrical resistance is the overall resistance of a material, while specific resistance is a more intrinsic property of the material itself.

Is the protective resistance the same as the series resistance?
No, the protective resistance is not the same as the series resistance. The protective resistance is a component used to limit the current in a circuit and protect other components from damage. It is typically used in parallel with the component it is protecting. On the other hand, the series resistance is a component that is connected in series with other components in a circuit, affecting the overall resistance and current flow in the circuit. While both resistances are used to control current, they serve different purposes and are connected in different ways within a circuit.
