At the same time, universities were increasingly using online learning technologies. Little has been written about how these two significant changes in teaching and learning might be acting and interacting at a time of increasing focus by universities on the educational marketplace. This book investigates the AUQA audits of three Australian universities which had different locations in the Australian higher education marketplace and had different approaches to the use of online technologies. Reid uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyse a wide range of artefacts by and about the universities. It is argued that AUQA`s audits do not support institutions` various market positionings, but rather provide the imprimatur of brand Australia` by producing representations of each institution that are safe and amenable to the audit process. The bounding and limiting effect of the quality university` discourse over the outward reaching online university` discourse resulted in the three universities being represented in increasingly isomorphic ways. ····· 10361102657

Some of this issues and challenges of ICT can be summarized as: access to digital tools and contents, increasing awareness about skills and services related to ICTs, a supportive legal protection for online transactions, un-sustainability of many ICT pilot projects, and so forth.Based on the aforementioned issues and challenges, which were highlighted by respective scholars in different countries, we do believe that sharing experiences between differing countries in using ICT for development, especially in the Muslim world is the best way to address these issues and challenges to avoid making same mistakes . Iran and Malaysia are considered as two leading developing countries, and both of them are more or less at the middle of a progressively long development program, called Malaysian 2020 and Iran 20 year vision plan that ICT is at core and center of their development programs. ····· 10361102620

Over the years, the demand for distance education courses has grown rapidly as people seek for educational courses that will upgrade their skills, while they meet the demands of their busy lifestyles. The purpose of this study was to gain insights into the relationship among the learning outcomes, the emotional experiences of students and the social interaction that takes place in the distance educational programs offered by the Hellenic Open University. The outcomes of this study indicated that the learning outcomes have little or no relation either to the emotions of students or to the social climate. However, the social climate and the emotional experiences of students are closely related. ····· 10361102441

This case study of the University of Ghana examines the policy implementation and how it has influenced higher education (HE) accessibility ,equity and success. Using mainly secondary analysis of official data, the author explores enrolment patterns based on gender and students` regions of origin, as well as the poverty rates in the regions, to ascertain how the policy guarantees equity of access. An investigation of completion and retention rates follows. Finally, the level of fees, the mode of payment and the financial support available to this category of students is also examined.

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book investigates the different perspectives of lecturers and students on the internationalisation of higher education and compares these perspectives with policy at a case study university. In particular, the ways students and lecturers are responding to cultural and linguistic diversity in the classrooms is examined. This diversity is neither unique to the case study university nor a new phenomenon, as universities have always had an international capacity and students from other countries. However, the number of higher education students travelling abroad to study has grown so significantly that higher education has become an increasingly important part of the global economy. Simultaneously, cultural diversity in university classrooms is more ubiquitous than at any time in history, and this presents both challenges and advantages for staff, students and university management. ····· 10361101900
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray In my indepth case study I investigated the professional development of helathcare assistants (HCAs) in NW Ireland. A purposive sample of 19 HCAs, 174 nurses and 3 DoNs took part. I found that HCAs attain a good educational experience, feel motivated to learn and have a good relationship with nurses. However, on completion of the HCSC, HCAs feel frustrated when there are no changes to their role. DoNs believe that the introduction of the HCSC and HCAs was managed poorly by policy makers and by themselves as managers. Ambiguity remains about the responsibilities of trained HCAs and this raises problems for nurses about delegating responsibility to them. Findings suggest that policy makers afford DoNs the authority to adapt the general HCA job description to form a match between the competencies of HCAs and service needs. Nurses may need to learn more about the potential roles and responsibilities which trained HCAs can undertake. Nurse Managers could also involve trained HCAs in ward reports, the documentation of the care they provide to patients, and enable nurses and HCAs to work as a team when providing care to patients. ····· 10361101653
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Social capital is implicit in the fields of sociology and anthropology towards understanding social cohesion, integration and collective action. Embedded in relationships, social capital is considered a resource with multiple functions but remains an elusive construct and subject to variety of interpretations. Social capital is least understood among forms of capital. The author`s practice in development work for two decades indicate that social capital contributes to transformative learning among parties involved. However, the interface of social capital and learning remains under-explored territory in the literature. This dissertation provides evidence that social capital and transformative learning are linked. The plausible two-way cause and effect relationships indicate functional interconnection. Seven hypotheses synthesize the findings of this research and could start the formulation of a theory on social capital-transformative learning interconnectivity. This study also illuminates a new research niche, integrating the two traditionally disparate disciplines of sociology and adult education. ····· 10361101483

In spite of this deficiency, these institutes still remain relevant to African developmental needs. For example, they are relevant to the actualization of the Millennium Development Goals, to the efforts at reaching the largest possible number of learners with education and to the process of reaching the unreached and disadvantaged groups through community development and education work they also remain relevant to the actualization of various regional vision agendas.

In order to achieve this, one possible approach would be through reflective practice` where they can improve themselves and be aware of their own learning` as this influence the way teachers` themselves are taught and teach in their own classrooms. Therefore, in this book teachers` continuing professional development is emphasized not only for the well-beingness of the institution they work for but also for their lifelong learning as well. Professional development is necessary if education is to be good enough to enable human beings to be continually renew themselves and competitive with the challenges they meet thorough out their career life.

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Higher education has always been regarded as an important factor in the development of societies. The experience of Africa with higher education shows that this subsystem of education since the 1960s was regarded as a sign of hope in lifting the continent from poverty. This book analyses the course of development discourses deployment to understand Africa`s fate. More specifically, the book explores how historically Mozambique embraced neoliberal ideology in the context of global processes in the 1980s and 1990s and how neoliberal discourses on development have been used to steer higher education in particular direction in the country in the past fifteen years. The book undertakes an analysis of specific technologies of hope to understand how globalization process is evoked and how neoliberal ideologies on development are effected in the broad society. The result of such transformations is a higher education for more technologist development with very little attention to the social and human sciences as the cornerstone in understanding development challenges of the country. ····· 10361101033

It establishes that nutrition for the illiterates is poor because of lack of knowledge and skills in basic nutrition. Poverty also contributed significantly to their poor nutrition. Apparently, both literacy and nutrition programmes faiL to redress the plight of the illiterates. This is because these programmes work in isolation as such functional literacy was not integrated in nutrition programmes where the illiterate adults participated. Because the majority of the illiterates are poor, they need programmes that contribute to the improvement of their livelihoods especially where basic needs were concerned. Therefore instead of participating fully in these programmes, the illiterate adults opt to venture into activities that they thought can help them put food on the table . ····· 1036199360

One of the challenges is the high attrition rate of doctoral students enrolled in online programs, many of whom cite the lack of social presence as the reason for dropping out. The qualitative phenomenological study explored the perceptions and lived experiences of online doctoral students to determine how social presence develops. The present research revealed four emerging themes that describe the development of social presence in the asynchronous online learning environment. The emerging themes were writing skill, content and requirements, building relationships, and interaction. The themes offered information to leaders in education and business that may assist in developing online education programs, and virtual work teams. ····· 1036198515

Although these stories personify the life experience of addiction and recovery from the disease of alcoholism, they moreso speak to the triumph of personal transformation. The thesis of this text arose from my own experiences with addiction a spark of consciousness where it became evident that a knowledge of the root cause of my malady was utterly insufficient. But this is not a phenomena that is unique to addiction it is an experience grounded in human growth and adult development. In the field of Adult Education the theory of Transformative Learning speaks to this process. A wealth of academic research has been disseminated on this theory over the past 30 years the writings within this text have been inspired from the participants of this research, the men and women I have been blessed to meet in the rooms of AA, my sponsors, mentors, and teachers, and my community of loved ones.

Con base en la observación participante en cuatro grupos del Programa EINE a lo largo de un ciclo operativo , se reconstruyó el proyecto en la práctica que en cada uno de los casos articulaba la manera de producir las sesiones como un logro colectivo negociado, considerando las tensiones y conflictos asociados y mostrando el vínculo indisoluble que tenía con las relaciones establecidas en el grupo y la identidad de las promotoras educativas. ····· 1036191083
