Increasing numbers of nontraditional students, of whom many are women, are enrolling in two-year and four-year colleges and universities. The purpose of this study was to critically examine the experiences of nontraditional undergraduate women and their preferred learning environment-pedagogy vs. andragogy. Students were asked to respond to a variety of questions to reflect their preferred learning environments. The researcher looked for differences in the experiences of twenty (ten Black and ten White) nontraditional female undergraduate college students within their respective institutions based on their race, socioeconomic background, age, marital status and family education. Also, the researcher focused on why these nontraditional female college students returned to college, as well as any barriers (situational, dispositional, institutional) that may impinge upon their academic success. ····· 10361101834

Teacher Ethics

····· lezzter Preis 53.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Professional ethics is important in perceiving teacher identity, setting teachers` behavior pattern and developing overall institutional culture. However, in institutional as well as professional development approaches, professional ethics does not come as a focal priority mainly because there is a lack of adequate understanding regarding how to incorporate and functionalize ethics in an organization. For example, two policy documents outlined at national level in Nepal highlight uniform ethical codes and fail to address local meaning of ethics. This issue has arisen because there was a lack of efforts to contextualize the ethics and code to the local milieu. This analysis, therefore, should be useful to professionals in the teaching and educational field or anyone who may be considering utilizing or developing code of conducts or ethics in their professional life. ····· 10361101814

Strategies in Managing Transformation in South African Schools

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Political changes in South Africa have ushered in educational reform at a fast pace. The period 1994 -2010 saw the formation of an education system that has impacted on the day-to-day running of schools . Education managers are often called transformation managers. For a school to transform communities must also transform. Parents, as community members need to participate in decision making structures in the schools where their children are attending. The South African Schools Act No.84 of 1996 made provision for such participatory efforts. The legal environment concerning the children in schools brought about a new diminsion about understanding safety and human rights issues.Schools do not exist in isolation, partnerships with outside agencies are imperative. Culture and language form the core of school transformation. Educational managers are faced with additional responsibilities to be more responsive to the needs of communities. Transformation in education necessitates a look at gender and the management of HIV/AIDS, crime and violence in schools. Employment Equity Act No.55 of 1998 addresses affirmative action in South Africa. ····· 10361101719

On Representation and Construction in a Tectonic Design Studio

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
This study investigates the roles of representation and construction in enhancing students` learning in a tectonic design studio. Students of architecture use 3D CAD, physical models and drawings, either alone or in hybrid combinations in the design, development and communication of their design processes. Each of these media has intrinsic attributes that limit or enhance students` ability to engage in issues of architecture. This can have a significant influence on students` learning of conceptual and tectonic design, particularly in their early years of study. Tectonic design, as an element of the architectural design process that involves the designerly consideration of issues of construction, is an important skill that is integral to architectural practice. The unique problem based learning environment of the design studio offers opportunities for the development of deep learning approaches to tectonic design, however these are limited by the way students engage in representational media. This research is based on an ethnographic case study of a cohort of second year architecture students at Deakin University, Geelong, in 2002. ····· 10361101704

The subject of best practices continues to lead debate on bilingual education, especially in the developing world where education systems were predominantly modelled on pre-independence policies. In Malawi`s transitional bilingual education programme, there are plans to incorporate 12 major indigenous languages as media of instruction at the primary school level. Along this line, this study analyses the pedagogical needs related to bilingual education of two primary schools in Malawi. Specifically, the research examines the classroom practices, teaching strategies, curriculum standards, teacher-training needs and roles of key players at the two schools. The study uses classroom observations and four questionnaires to analyse these pedagogical practices basing on two major theoretical frameworks: Cummins (1986) four major characteristics of successful bilingual schools and Cloud, Genesee and Hamayan`s (2000) critical ingredients of bilingual education. The analysis highlights some best practices required in bilingual education, and would particularly be useful to educationists, policy-makers and postgraduate linguistics students. ····· 10361101463

Conducted over a 3-year period, this multiple-case study examined the professional backgrounds, transitional issues, and intellectual transformations of four Afghan university teachers during their graduate study in language education at a large Midwestern research university. An intellectual transformation coding scheme synthesized from the works of Paolo Freire (1970) and Harvard`s William Perry (1968, 1970) was used to analyze their intellectual transitions. Their transformations largely involved bringing newly acquired academic knowledge and discourse development into line with cultural-political knowledge developed from life experiences, positioning them for further transformation following the return to their home country. Essentially, they tactfully drew on both external and internal resources to cope with their multiple challenges. The most emphatically reported intellectual transformations included their strong commitment to the constructivist learning and teaching approaches that clearly empowered them in the face of foreign settings and their heightened confidence in applying the Western educational approaches in their beloved home-Afghanistan. ····· 10361101143

Classroom Interaction

····· lezzter Preis 59.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The role of interaction in learning and the opportunities it provides for language learners are strongly emphasized in the literature. Unfortunately, classroom research on interaction has focused on the productions of students in the classroom, yet it has been argued that intrapersonal mental processes such as perceiving should also be considered in order to have a deeper understanding of classroom activities`effectiveness, and desired learning cannot be accomplished without understanding how students interpret the activities they are involved in. In the literature, the studies on the perceptions of students and teachers about interaction have not been conducted in a comparative manner to explore whether there is a relationship between the language proficiency level of the students and their perceptions. There is need, therefore, for research explaining and comparing the perceptions of teachers and EFL students of various language proficiency levels towards the interaction types and activities carried out in the classroom. In this respect, this book aims to satisfy this need and shed light on classroom interaction for ELT researchers and practitioners. ····· 10361101114
