Dialogicity, Teaching and Learning

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The central focus of this book is the characterisation of classroom talk from the Dialogicity perspective in relation to student learning. It extends the sociocultural tradition in classroom studies by looking not into teaching only or learning only, but by looking into the link between the two processes. The findings advance the field by identifying sub-levels of the Authoritative and Dialogic communicative approaches of Mortimer and Scott (2003), and proposing a model for characterising classroom talk Dialogicity at the theoretical level. Additionally, by using evidence of how students engage in, share control over classroom talk and influence its direction, and how their construction of knowledge and understanding change as the quality of the exchanged talk in their classroom practice change, this research provide empirical findings that are missing from the field. Generally speaking, the book suggests that improving the quality of talk between teachers and learners is of crucial importance if teaching practice is to have a significant influence on learning. ····· 10361102933

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This paper investigates several common alleged stereotypes related to the Asian learners in terms of reticence and passivity in the classroom and it reviews the factors offered as explanations for the perceived reticence and passivity. In addition to acknowledging the part culture plays in this behavioral profile, I have argued that factors other than culture i.e., students related and teacher issues play no less a role in the way Asian students interact in the ESL/EFL classroom. Finally, this paper summarizes some of the pedagogical implications of this stereotyping. ····· 10361102832

Perspectives of Bangladeshi Women About Post-Secondary Education

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
A large number of studies both qualitative and quantitative tried to explore barriers to women`s education in developing countries. Very few studies explored the reasons for women`s low participation particularly in post-secondary education. No research has been conducted exploring women`s perceptions about the reasons for women`s law participation in post-secondary education in Bangladesh. Using a qualitative methodology and the conceptual framework of `open-system` theory this study explored women`s own perspectives about how multifaceted social subsystems in Bangladesh function to support and to inhibit women`s participation in post-secondary education. Study revealed that the barriers women encounter in perusing post-secondary education are vast and complex. Women face barriers from multi-level social systems such as family, financial, educational, socio-cultural, political, and governmental subsystems. Within these subsystems various factors exists that hamper women`s post- secondary education in Bangladesh. The result showed that since the barriers are multifaceted, positive collaboration of social subsystems in Bangladesh can reduce the difficulties. ····· 10361102756

Improve Student Achievement Through Professional Learning Communities

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
School districts have been developing and implementing reform movements for several decades, usually in response to federal, state or local pressures. Past reform movements have not significantly increased the academic achievement of our nation`s children or closed the achievement gap between subgroups of students. The implementation of Professional Learning Communities has recently been noted to be the most promising strategy for improving and sustaining student achievement (DuFour, 2007). This study determined how general education teachers in a Midwestern school district perceived their personal skill level in working collaboratively and focusing on academic results while working in a Professional Learning Community. The overarching question for the research was: Do educator perceptions of their personal skill level in working collaboratively and focusing on academic results while implementing a Professional Learning Community have an effect on student achievement This study should be especially useful to districts and teachers interested in the use of Professional Learning Communities. ····· 10361102746

PARENTAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUND: IMPLICATION FOR STUDENTS` OUTCOME

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Wants influence children through a number of ways. Principally, the class of the home background differs in poor and non-poor families. Children in poor homes have less physical resources (books, toys, educational games, and computers) they also get less learning prospects and less cognitive stimulation (like reading to children, engaging in activities that can develop them mentally) than children in comfortable homes. This research work examines the relationship between the socio-economic status of parents and students` academic achievement. Questionnaires were administered to students, teachers and students from ten randomly selected schools in four local government areas of Ogun state, Nigeria. The income group of parents, parental educational background and family size were used as a measure of family social status. Chi square statistics was used to analyse its findings. Parental Socio-economic Status was discovered to have a significant and substantive independent effect on students` academic outcome. ····· 10361102738

Education For All (EFA): Reaching Nomadic communities in Wajir, Kenya-Challenges and Opportunities By Abdi Ibrahim Abdi Educating nomads in Kenya is becoming increasingly important because of the attributed projection in accelerating development, employability, improving democracy, health and unity. As a result of self and international pressure arising out of the need to increase human capital and the EFA commitments made in UN meetings respectively, Kenya has taken some steps to improve education access. However, due to their mobile lifestyle, nomads have not been accessing these static` social amenities such as formal education and health nor have these services been availed within their mobile setting. Currently, nomads can only access formal education by settling permanently, taking their children to boarding schools, or placing the children under the care of a relative in the settled lifestyle. These practices of accessing education are pursued only by very few and a large number of nomadic children are out of formal schooling. This book, therefore addresses the challenges and opportunities arising out of the paradoxes of formal education policies and nomadic ways of life. ····· 10361102679

Out of school, out of sight

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
UK urban state schools have recently experienced increased pressure to improve their performance levels. This has been manifested through various campaigns to change the public perception of these schools while making improvements to the physical school environment. However, punitive policies on problematic` pupils also appear to be increasingly used to sustain this image. Consequently, many are unofficially excluded` and referred to off-site educational provision (OSEP) where they receive reduced timetables and unchallenging courses, and this reduces their chances of gaining a solid education. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with 20 excluded young people in one south London borough in the UK, this book will discuss these issues in greater detail. The book shows how exclusionary processes, to which some urban young people are exposed, have implications for their identity, self worth and lifestyles, and makes them increasingly vulnerable to crime and victimisation. Moreover, their life options become truncated despite efforts they may make otherwise. ····· 10361102647

Aligning STS

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This book shows how an experienced teacher uses educational theory to improve learning in a large university course. The author begins by reviewing the storm of change which has struck modern higher education, and shows how a study of Science, Technology and Society is essential for understanding and coping with the new environments. Then the nature of Science, Technology and Society is reviewed, so that courses can be placed on a series of relevant dimensions. The key theoretical perspective is constructive alignment, which enables the teacher to integrate course goals with assessment and teaching to improve student performance. Using this perspective, it becomes clear that the course being reviewed has a number of problems. These problems are clarified, and some possible methods for solving them explained. The entire approach -- which can be used on almost any course -- is of great value in enabling teachers to improve student learning. ····· 10361102506

Portrait Photography Transformed: 1960 - Present

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Photography at the high school level has traditionally been taught in a studio or darkroom and rarely included art history. The curriculum was generally gender biased and narrowly focused, leaving little time to investigate important contributions of female photographers. Because of the digital revolution, photography has moved from the darkroom into the computer lab where students learn technical skills and basic software programs. Because computer lab exercises lack any broad intellectual significance, combining photography with computer technology in a classroom setting makes it possible for students to learn about one and become proficient at the other. Also, there has been little significant political, cultural, and social discourse in the classroom within a mainstream educational context. Portrait Photography Transformed: 1960 Present focuses on how changing times affect social concepts of art, communication, and technology. The study of portraiture offers a point of connection between contemporary modes of production and the timelessness of being human. Through portrait photography, students find mirrors reflecting who they were, are, or could be. ····· 10361102491

EFL Reading and Metacognition Processes

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The present investigation draws on the distinction between transmission and constructivist approach to instruction of EFL reading. While transmission paradigm assumes an independent identity for knowledge, constructivism postulates that knowledge is constructed variably and individually by the learners. Following Wolf (1994) who considered construction of knowledge as the basis for foreign language learning, this study is an attempt to compare and contrast how EFL learners develop their knowledge of reading as an important skill and also the associated metacognition processes through two contexts of instruction contrived on constructivism and transmission approaches. ····· 10361102469

Modular Teaching

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The book is based on the philosophy of Modular teaching, a kind of individualized learning, which is normally used in the training of teachers, managers and administrators etc. In current work author has implemented this method in the classroom for the maximization of the learning of the students. In this approach individuals become self-motivated and independent learners. They learn and master the desired knowledge and skills in the light of their needs, at their own pace. Further more they can self-assess their learning in the form of practical task with feedback given at the end of each module. The author also suggested guidelines how an ordinary and conventional curriculum can be transformed into modular form which itself is a complicated task. The work cited in this book will be helpful for researchers, students and teachers especially those who are concerned with teaching learning psychology, curriculum development,assessment and also are master trainers. ····· 10361102427

Nature and Sustainability

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The human impact on the natural world is unsustainable, and the tendency to assign education the role of remedying the problem is increasing. However, since sustainability touches fundamentals of human life on many levels, effective education becomes a challenge. This book gives a historical and philosophical view of education that deals with nature and sustainability and highlights the ethical dilemmas that arise if we expect education to be the main promoter of sustainability. Lili-Ann Wolff discusses these issues by drawing from two of the most notable scholars in the Western intellectual tradition, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Michel Foucault. Rousseau`s writings offer excellent examples of the role of both ethics and education in dealing with sustainability. And Foucault sets the stage for understanding such fundamental ethical and educational issues as matters of power that act in complex networks on both individual and social levels. The book meets the needs and interests of a diverse audience from educational, environmental and philosophical disciplines, but also many other readers having an interest in contemporary discussions about education, sustainability and nature. ····· 10361102389

Shared leadership in schools

Shared leadership has been identified as a key governance base for the future of government and Catholic schools in Queensland, Australia, the state`s two largest providers of school education. Shared leadership values the contributions that many individuals can make through collaboration and teamwork. It claims to improve organisational performance and reduce the increasing pressures faced by principals. However despite these positive features, shared leadership is generally not well understood, not well accepted and not valued by those who practice or study leadership. A collective case study method was chosen, incorporating a series of semi-structured interviews with principals and the use of official school documents. The study has explored the current understanding and practice of shared leadership in four Queensland schools and investigated its potential for use. This book presents the lessons learned about shared leadership, from an exploration of theory and practice, for anyone interested in leadership. ····· 10361102287
