This problem of sexual harassment is common to both boys and girls in our society today, which if not handled well can affect their lives negatively in later adult life.

Properly designed simulation games with debriefing potentially provide a means to engage students in thoughtful, engaging, and worthwhile learning that is consistent with the contemporary goals of education. A small number of prior studies found debriefing had a positive effect on cognitive learning. However, the studies with positive results are too few and too contradictory as a result of problematic designs to warrant generalizations from the findings. The participants for this study were 238 students in state mandated economics classes. A variety of immediate and retention posttest measures were utilized to assess the levels of cognitive learning and interest on four randomly assigned alternative treatments. Data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and effect sizes. Findings from this sample supported previous research results that indicated debriefing has a positive immediate effect on cognitive learning. The implications of the results and suggestions for future research were discussed in detail. ····· 10361114687

In Ireland, since the introduction of the Education Act (1998) and the EPSEN Act (2004) there has been a significant shift in government policy towards the creation of inclusive learning environments for a diverse society. This book addresses the significant challenges for both art teacher and art student with special educational needs in mainstream post-primary education. The approach to the research taken was qualitative in nature with certain aspects of quantitative study. From the analysis, three key recurring topics emerged which allowed the author to discuss the findings in thematic form. Visual art education and inclusive practice in mainstream post primary schools sufficient access to art education for all: and the identity of the disabled student in relation to the curriculum. This book should be especially useful to teachers and student teachers of art craft and design.

The study results indicated that the majority of teachers` conceptions of history were characterized by a fragmented and incomplete understanding of history. Instead of seeing the interplay among the past, the recorded past, and the historian, teachers tended to see a part of the relationship among different aspects of history. More than half of the teachers looked at the outcome of the process of historical knowledge construction without taking its process into consideration or mentioning the forces that shape historical writing. A realist view of the world and a naïve epistemological view of history seemed to characterize the conceptions of most teachers who viewed history as objective knowledge. Most teachers did not see the relevancy of conceptual foundations of history to their profession and professional development. On the other hand, teachers had sophisticated pedagogical orientations toward teaching history. ····· 10361114299

Data collection methods used were interviews, classroom observations, reflective conversations and documentary analysis. Findings suggest that discussion increases the quality and quantity of oral interactions, facilitates learning of new words and creates a positive affective climate in the classroom. However, in order to realize these benefits, the teacher`s role is vital in setting clear tasks, providing opportunities for speaking and ensuring a safe and encouraging classroom climate. In addition, teacher`s wide knowledge base and skills in pedagogy ease facilitation of effective discussions.Although learners` oral communication was enhanced, the prevalent language in use in the school Kiswahili, still affected the amount of English spoken outside the classroom.Recommendations and implications for second language classroom practice, traditionally dominated by teacher talk, are discussed. ····· 10361114039

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This ethnographic study investigates how high ability pupils in a comprehensive school express resistance to authority. Building upon neo- Marxist `resistance theory` the aim is to inject a degree of construct validity into the concept of pupil resistance. By avoiding the tendency to romanticise pupils` often petulant and nihilistic behaviour the aim is to revitalise resistance theory by providing a more valid account of how and why pupils resist school authority. The aim is also to critically evaluate how schools respond to pupil resistance and to assess the potential for resistance to develop into a wider Marxist transformative agenda. It is argued that certain high ability working class pupils express a form of constructive resistance. This behaviour challenges the social classifications of schooling through constructively questioning the equity and competence of pedagogic authority. It is argued that constructive forms of resistance reflect the ability of pupils to critically assess their social environment and resist perceived injustice. ····· 10361113060

Building level, non school, student data such as socio-economic status, ethnicity, mobility, attendance and gender were matched with grade level/content value added scores in Ohio. School level data such as numbers of teachers, teacher experience and training were also matched with grade level/content value-added scores in Ohio. Boxplots revealed a reduction in range of value-added scores as the grade levels increase. Seven factors were used in a general linear modeling analysis: %Free and Reduced Lunch (FRL), %Black, Teacher attendance rate, %Teachers with a Masters, Teacher experience, Teacher experience squared and %Teachers fully certified. Of these, %FRL and teacher attendance have consistent relationships with grade level/content value added scores in Ohio. The conclusions are that there are relationships among building level school/non school factors and grade level/content value-added scores in Ohio. ····· 10361112987

This study illustrates how researchers in mathematics education can access children`s mathematics, at a fine-grained level of detail, through videotaped analyses. Effective mathematical thinking involves both doing and undoing processes within the range of structures that constitute the body of mathematics. In a given problem situation, the path from the result to the source is often more challenging than from the source to the result. This study focuses on reversible reasoning in the multiplicative domains of fractions and ratio.The systematic analysis of qualitative data is presented through the articulation of three analytical tools, namely Vergnaud`s concept of theorem-in-action, the notion of coordination of units, and quantitative reasoning. This study is useful not only for researchers in Mathematics Education but also for teachers, curriculum developers, and test writers. The theoretical analysis contains a wide range of problem situations that are pedagogically useful in fostering multiplicative reasoning. ····· 10361102807

Learning Difficulties of students portray a sequence of events constructed by them based on their understanding and interpretation of the concepts. The achievement oriented educational processes are based upon commonalities rather than catering individualistic needs, so fails in blossoming individuality. Such educational processes project at-end evaluation in terms of scores wherein the actual learning of the student remains unidentified. Actual learning should highlight what a student knows.

Observations and conclusions are empirically grounded on the analysis of authentic samples collected in my four-year activity with different groups of Hungarian foreign learners of Italian.
