...1 Education has changed significantly in the last twenty years. One of the main reasons education has undergone so many changes is because of technological development. In 1990, computers and other forms of technology served a minimal role in the classroom. Today, many if not most college students attend class with a laptop. I am writing about some of the biggest advantages technology gave to education. Technology has made research much easier. Before online Encyclopedias, Google Scholar, JSTOR, and other online research tools were available, students were forced to spend numerous hours in the library. With the new tools, students can conduct research faster in the comfort of their homes. With Google and other search engines, students can find relevant information faster and more efficiently. Also, there is no more need for intensive memorization as information is more readily available. New also technology allows for a faster, more efficient, and more interactive classroom experience. With Powerpoint presentations and projectors, there is no need for blackboards and whiteboards. With clickers, students can take quizzes during the classroom. These developments also help improve tutoring services. Online tutoring programs are becoming available. One-on-one in-home tutoring programs are also being aided these developments. Tutors can bring laptops to sessions allowing them to look up information, and show examples to the student more easily. Wi-fi technology allows students to...

...Chapter 1 Introduction to Educational Research LEARNING OBJECTIVES To be able to Explain the importance of educational research. List at least five areas of educational research. Explain the difference between basic and applied research. Describe evaluation research, action research, and critical theory research. Discuss the different sources of knowledge. Visit the study site for an interactive concept map. Explain the scientific approach to knowledge generation. Explain how to determine the quality of a theory or explanation. List the five objectives of educational research and provide an example of each. 2 RESEARCH IN REAL LIFE Research Aids Decision Making In June 2002, New York Governor George Pataki signed a state law giving Mayor Michael Bloomberg control of New York City’s public school system. Most observers agree that this is a school system desperately in need of reform. The 1,100 schools within this system educate 1.1 million kids. However, using the word educate would seem to be somewhat of a misnomer because only about half of the city’s public school students finish high school in 4 years. Only 40 percent of third- through eighth-grade students score at an acceptable level in reading, and only 34 percent do so in math. About 100 of the 1,100 schools are classified by the state as failing, and another 300 are almost as bad. Clearly, something needs to be done. While campaigning for mayor, Michael Bloomberg had many ideas, one...

...ORGANIZATION & BEHAVIOUR TESCO Organization & Behaviour TESCO Organization & Behaviour Task 1 1.1 Compare and contrast three different organizational structures and cultures. The organizational culture Culture is the way we think, feel and act in a society. Companies act not only according to their identity but also their culture and internal structure. That is, as a person, the "personality" of the company (Way of being and behaving) depends on the interaction between their structures and identity culture. Organizational culture is the way of thinking, feeling and doing shared members of the company. Culture is a good or intangible capital, consisting of shared values, which, to the extent that generates motivation, collaboration and commitment, will have a greater value for the company. It is a system of assumptions and shared meanings, such as identity, distinguishes the organization from any another. Culture not formally indicates how to do things in the company and what is their importance (Wilson, 1989, P. 303-319). It is a social construction based on customs, learning, experiences and traditions. This culture may or may not further the objectives of the company. Culture becomes visible and / or strengthened through different aspects, such as: Identification The degree of commitment of staff to the company as a whole, and not just with your type of work or specific field performance. Group organization The extent...

...Introduction 1.1 Problem definition Any discussion of higher Education in different countries needs to be conducted within the context of the overall perception of a country’s culture, society, history, salary and intellect. These influences are the foundation of the education in a country. Due to these different influences every country has a different understanding of education. I will also concentrate on the influence of culture on education in China and in the United States (U.S.) with special emphasis on Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions, because culture and history can lead the way in understanding the differences among student’s higher education. 1.2 Objectives The paper investigates the differences between the education in China and the U.S. against the background of dramatical differences in culture and history. First the country-specific Cultural Dimensions by Hofstede need to be elaborated to reveal a basic approach for the understanding of a nation’s culture. Based on Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions and the history the effect on education and instructional strategies in China and the U.S. will be discussed. 1.3 Course of the Investigation To achieve the objectives the course of the investigation will be carried out in three steps. In the first step the conceptual background on the topic will be defined to provide a basis. Chapter 2 describes the theory and the five Dimensions of Hofstede’s Culture’s Consequences. In the second step the explanations focus...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Background of the Study In the society nowadays the demands of high level of education and skill for the success of each student is increasingly important for the students’ welfare as well as the society’s hope for success. Yet, it is crucial that teachers should recognize certain basic elements in learning to help students to gear up for greater advancement. One of these basic elements is study habits. In the global setting, Igun (2007) of the Nigerian Universities and Delta State University library stated that the study habits of students in some universities is a common problem because of some factors such us barriers in creating a study environment. In the national setting, Philippines ranked second and third to the last in the English and Math National Achievement Test result (National Framework Plan for ICT’s Basic Education, 2005). The cause of this drastic decrease in the performance of the students was supported by a study conducted by Acido (2010) who identified students in public high school in Manila who performed low due to poor study habits. In the local setting specifically in Davao City, Nacito (2006) and Azarcon, et.al. (2004) found that Grade Six students enrolled in Piedad District of Toril S.Y. 2005-2006 as well as the Freshmen students of Erico T. Nograles National High School both need to improve their study habits due to their low academic performance. In addition, college students of the University of Mindanao...
