He also said that it is primarily concerned with the exposure of the student to the outside world. So that he can choose his interests and mode of living and his career.

...In any classroom, there will be students of varying abilities, backgrounds, and experiences. Some students might have special educational needs or disabilities, while others might be gifted and require more advanced materials to stay challenged. By conducting thorough assessments and creating individualised learning plans, teachers can ensure that all students receive the support they need to thrive. This approach helps to level the playing field, providing each student with an equal opportunity to succeed. Fosters Positive Relationships Building positive relationships between teachers and students is another significant benefit of addressing individual needs. When teachers take the time to understand and support each student’s unique situation, it fosters trust and respect. Students are more likely to seek help and communicate openly about their struggles and achievements. This positive rapport can lead to a more collaborative and supportive classroom environment, where students feel safe and encouraged to take risks and make mistakes—a crucial part of the learning...

In order to address this, higher education institutions are examining the methods they use to enhance student employability and deploying various measures to grow and strengthen this activity, with an increasing focus on providing work experience. One popular way of doing this is via internships (placements). This paper examines the context in which work experience has come to the fore as an approach to enhancing employability by interrogating recent research and policy related to this agenda. Employability is presented as an on-going debate that cannot be viewed as a finite entity but must move and develop with the market, society and the global situation. In addition the paper closely examines a graduate internship programme in a university in North East England. Comparing and contrasting findings from this scheme, with other examples of experiential learning through work experience, provides some evidence to suggest the value of internships and furthermore supports some formative ideas about how internships...

...CHAPTER 3 SELECTING AND USING ASSESSMENTS Introduction This chapter will address three issues: (a) the institutional assessment needs of workforce development organizations, (b) the assessment needs of individual youth to help make informed choices about their careers, and (c) the practical needs of practitioners for information about how to select and use different assessment tools. At the end of this chapter, Exhibit 3.1 contains information that can be used to help with the selection and use of assessments, including a directory of commonly used published tests. Meeting Institutional Assessment Needs Agencies and organizations in the workforce system use assessments to meet institutional needs in two ways-to determine a youth's eligibility for services and to document achievement of program goals by assessing the progress of program participants. The number of participants served and achievement of program goals can impact the amount of funding an organization receives. Funding for the youth programs considered in this guide may come from the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, other federal agencies, states, local governmental agencies, or a combination of these. Table 1.2 in Chapter 1 summarizes the eligibility and assessment requirements of IDEA, WIA Title I, and the Rehabilitation Act. More specific information on assessments mandated or permitted by several federal funding sources may be found in Appendix A. (Mandated assessments are...

...Computer and video games become one the most popular activity for leisure times of young people in both western and Asian societies. (Vorderer, 2010) Positive and negative effects of computer games are discussed heavily especially on teenagers. Negative effects include headaches, eye problems, chest pain, and fatigue. Also game play causes sleep deprivation associated with eyes and 4 muscle problems. Playing computer games also create damage to social life by causing decrease on socialness and less positive behavior towards society. (Griffiths, 2010) Beside of negative effects, computer games also have serious benefits for players. There are many researches made for using computer games as an instrument in education and positive effects on skills like reading and mathematical thinking are discovered. Also participating computer games create a new community among players of these games and this causes learning and information sharing between these players. (Jenkins, 2011) Types...

...David Holmes Sim Barhoum English 101 Effective College English II February 09, 2013 Argument Essay “Adult Education” Modern day America has the ability to provide a basic education to anyone. What does it mean to be educated? An idea of education is someone who has all the answers. It could be a person who has been through the hardship of school and has come out on top, or someone who makes a living with what they have learned. In “Adult Education” by Mortimer J. Adler, he describes how society’s education system is flawed and does not provide the best education for people. Alder speaks of how education starts at childhood and ends when they become an adult and receive their degree. To him this idea is wrong because youth have not developed the patience or the experience to be educated. Therefore, education only truly comes when a person goes through life and has become a mature adult. The value of education will never be understood by youth, but by people who have gone through the hardships of life and have gained wisdom through life experience. In order to fully understand what Mortimer Adler is talking about in his essay, “Adult Education,” we must understand the historical and cultural context from which he is speaking. Modern readers who misunderstand this context are likely to misinterpret his intentions and thereby fail to see the logic behind his recommendations, which are still relevant to educational reform issues today. Adler was a philosopher enamored...

...implementation of K to 12 Mathematics curriculum. It is believed that knowledge is constructed when learners are able to draw ideas from their own experiences and connects them to new ideas while cooperative learning puts premium on active learning achieved by working with fellow learners as they all engage in a shared task. There were three main problem categories/themes including administrativerelated, teacher-related and student-related. The findings include: (a) lack of trainings, seminars, unclear standard operating procedures, (b) late arrival and lack of modules, (c) developing/weak teaching skills and strategies, (d) teacher’s difficulty in teaching the subjects or contents, (e)lack of time to tackle the content efficiently, (f) unavailability or lack of instructional materials, (g) non-mastery of the basic concepts and skills, (h) poor problem solving and critical thinking skills (i) indifferent student behaviour. The solutions are sharing of modules or guides, conducting cooperative learning class, giving extra time for research work, taking time in the preparation of the lesson, making use of the indigenous materials, reviewing basic concepts and giving examples, motivating and teaching students enthusiastically. Introduction Mathematics has always played a vital role in education. Mathematics teachers should therefore be adept at teaching the subject and must be equipped with the...

...important part in a child’s life, not only during the early years, but throughout the school years as well. Parents who play an active role in the education of their child will have greater opportunities to motivate their children to behave more and strive for greatness. Self- esteem may rise as a result of positive reinforcement. An involved parent will also know when his child is misbehaving and be able to correct the problem before it gets out of hand and becomes a regular habit. With proper parental involvement, a child is less likely to feel the need to lash out and misbehave for much needed attention; they'll already be getting the attention in a much healthier way. Parental involvement also gives the student extra practice on the skills learned at school and makes them better students academically. Students whose parents are involved in their education are more than likely to have a great career and become active in society. III.

...Overview This paper offers the non-subject specialist an overview of the literature which has influenced the development of listening and interpersonal skills in UK higher education. It refers to articles, seminal texts and writers within the field. In order to provide some context, the first section of the review covers some issues relating to the definition of listening and interpersonal skills and some examples are presented to demonstrate their interdependence. The importance of these skills within occupational and educational domains is also highlighted. The review then goes on to place listening and interpersonal skills in context by exploring historical perspectives, factors influencing current developments and providing an indication of issues which may affect future development. The paper introduces different approaches to listening and interpersonal skills within some key disciplines and considers the extent to which the teaching and learning of listening and interpersonal skills has been integrated within these discipline. In conclusion we consider emerging themes relating to advances in technology and widening participation, including the cross cultural agenda. A glance at the definitions section below will reveal the substantial overlap that exists between this topic and some of the other LearnHigher learning areas, most notably those relating to oral communications and group work. Although we acknowledge this overlap at various points during the review, readers...
