...Devin Fazio COM-121 Dan Glass 13 January 2016 Winter Interim Classes Reading Area Community College has added a new academic path for students who enjoy fast paced learning. These classes are offered between the larger breaks that are taken throughout the semesters. A winter, spring, and summer interim class are offered as an online or lecture class for about four weeks at a time. During these four weeks, a lot of information is covered. However, being a winter interim class, it still needs to meet the requirements for an average 15 week semester. Winter interim classes are beneficial for the academically fast paced students, who are highly motivated, eager to learn, and want to get a head start on their goal of graduating. All college courses are stressful but winter interim classes are especially stressful. Every other day in the course is a new week, with a new load of work, and a new assortment of questions. As progression happens throughout the course, students begin to notice that everything mentioned or taught, is valuable. There is no time for “fluff” information. As the semester shortens everyday students become motivated to do their work in a timely fashion. Students learn the consequences of procrastinate on their work, and start to develop more effective time management skills. One of the most beneficial factors that can be valued for fast paced class, is the skill to time manage. Time management is realistically practiced in the real world and...

...INTRODUCTION What we ought to see in the agonies of puberty is the result of the conditioning that maims the female personality in creating the feminine. - Germaine Greer The word adolescence is taken from the Latin word “adolescere” which means "to grow up”. Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical, sex and mental human development generally occurring between puberty and legal adulthood, but largely characterized as beginning and ending with the teenage stage. The onset of adolescence is usually associated with the commencement of puberty and the appearance of secondary sex characteristics. The pituitary gland secretes hormones that stimulate enlargement and development of the sex organs, which thus become capable of reproduction. In females the reproductive cycle of ovulation and menstruation begins, pubic hair appears, and development of the breasts and other body contours takes place.1 During this phase of transition from childhood, adolescents are often confused about the physical and emotional changes in their bodies and feel hesitant and embarrassed to discuss them with anyone. Therefore adolescence is a critical period which influences one’s reproductive health and well-being throughout life. Adolescent girls are especially vulnerable to the biological and social changes taking place during this time and their effects, owing to the existing inequity...

...Elementary Education by Providing all Grade Levels in the Public Elementary Schools through Combination and/or multigrade classes” was implemented. According the DepEd, multigrade school usually consists of two classes with each class consisting of a group of pupils -45-belonging to two to three different grade levels like grades 1, 2 and 3 or grades 4,5 an 6 with each class handled by only one teacher known as a multigrade mentor using appropriate agency measures that often stress basic literacy skills like reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic (3 Rs) coupled with health and livelihood education activities. Bilbao (2007) cited that, teaching multigrade classes is not only hard work; it also entails knowledge and skills in performing the task. The pre-service training of the teacher did not provide for teaching strategies and methodologies in multigrade teaching. In addition, Pascua (2011) said that a multigrade classroom involves children with different skills,...

...A critical review of Suryaningrum et al, 2014, ‘The effectiveness comparison between mobile based learning technology with face-to-face as a teaching method of Accounting Information System’, Global Conference and Finance Proceedings, Volume 9, Number 1. Authors conducted a study on the mobile-based teaching method to test if it will improve the student’s performance not only in technical skills but also in personal skills in learning Accounting Information System. The study was an exploratory research to develop a mobile learning application of Accounting Information Systems and test on the AIS mobile learning application made using the quasi-experimental research design. A pre-test exam was conducted where 50 accounting students who have completed Accounting Information Systems (AIS) courses were provided 20 randomly selected multiple-choice questions from 30 available questions with topic of data warehouse. The research result showed that before the student use mobile technology, their performance was not as expected. This pre-test result will then be compared with their exam score after taking advantage of the mobile learning application program which is still not published to date. The study reveals that the education system until now is mostly done by traditional face-to-face between students and educators with a shift in learning paradigm from conventional to sophisticated learning using technology. The development of ICT had clearly improved the education method...

...techniques still work with the new issues in our educational system. It is obviously that the evaluation of teaching effectiveness in the past it is different from the current evaluation process because there are certain factors are important to be included in the evaluation of teaching effectiveness. These factors are as the criteria for the evaluating of educational effectiveness. Some of these factors still work as a criterion for the evaluation process. While, the other factors have to be excluded from the evaluation and not to be given as much weight. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to ask administrators about which items still valid until the now and have to be included in the evaluation process and which of these items are invalid to be an evaluation criterion. This article also offers the main sources of data for evaluation of faculty performance as one of the important components of evaluation of educational effectiveness. There sources are students’ evaluation tools, teaching portfolios, classroom visitation reports, and scholarship activities. These sources offer significant information about the faculty performance and consequently they will contribute significantly in assessing and evaluating the teaching effectiveness. There are some items of evaluation have to be included and be given more weight in any evaluation process of the educational effectiveness because they have a significant relation to the success of the evaluation process. These items are currency...

Yet the nation still lacks a practical set of standards and assessments that can guarantee that teachers, particularly new teachers, are well prepared and ready to teach. This report discusses a promising approach to the question of how to measure teacher effectiveness. Specifically, it describes the ways in which assessments of teacher performance for licensing and certification can both reflect and predict teachers’ success with children so that they can not only inform personnel decisions, but also...

...in some cases students who pass through such teachers, especially in terms of emulating their life styles, tend to exhibit behaviors that are detestable by the society Teacher effectiveness influences students’ academic performance. It is not however, very easy to investigate the area of effectiveness in teaching because many hold the view that the concept has. Even, from among those who hold the views that teacher quality should be assessed by student outcomes however, arguments could be made for an emphasis on different types of student outcomes. Teacher quality can be gauged by short- term outcomes such as students’ performance on state standardized tests at the end of the period prescribed for a given academic programs. Long-term outcomes may be much more difficult to measure but some might argue that the best teachers are those who somehow improve students’ educational trajectories in some important ways. In other words, teacher quality is multi-dimensional and complex in nature and can be measured. Perkins (1974) said that, there is little or no agreement on the criteria that should be used for judging effectiveness in teaching or on how the effectiveness of teaching can be measured. He however, agreed that it is only when the various approaches used to define and measure teaching effectiveness are examined that one would be able to gain a clearer understanding of the concept. Advocating the various ways to measure...

...Teaching Strategies NUR 588 August 5, 2012 Kelly Martin, Facilitator Teaching Strategies Nursing education is a key component to keep nursing practice relevant to the health needs and also to the expectations of society. Nurses provide an essential part of health care in most health care setting. Education, training, and experience are constantly changing and enhancing learning for students, enriching lives with knowledge. Educators have an important role in learning. They have to keep up with developments in the specific specialties, literatures, and the practice. They are responsible to educate new, and experience nurses, and students, and therefore have to master education. The goal of education is to instill in learners the academic and moral knowledge that should constitute those ‘essential things that a mature adult needs to know in order to be a productive member of society’ (Cowles, Strickland, Rodgers & Beth, 2001). Developing curriculum objectives is an important task, and it should be seen as an ongoing process. It is an essential process for the educational goals to be successful. Systematic approach is important when developing curriculum for students, and health care professionals. Different components should be carefully reviewed, and considered: staff, students, community needs, and readiness. It is important to specifics of the institution and involves the key subject in the process of education. Objective ...

In the initial years, the response from the students was highly positive. This could be acknowledged from the higher grades, increase in attendance and reduction in disruptive behaviour, when compared to other mediums like the blackboard and transparent overheads. But, there was also a study which showed that the students’ performance depended on the difficulty of the lecture and not on the medium of teaching. Still, the positive...

...DESIGNING A MIXED-METHOD STUDY This symposium reflects on a the two-year (2006-2008), ESRC-funded, multi-disciplinarystudy which used an integrated mixed-method design. The project investigated variations in teachers‟ classroom practice, and relationships with professional life phase, identity and school context (using value-added pupil attainment scores as indicators of schools‟ overall academic effectiveness) , which builds on and extends a four-year longitudinal research study (Day et al, 2006). The study sought to identify key factors that contribute to effective teaching and pupil outcomes in primary and secondary phases of schooling in a sample of 83 effective teachers (45 primary and 38 secondary), 39 school leaders, and approximately 3000 pupils from 39 schools in England. The project had three main aims: (1) To describe, analyse and explain the variation in primary and secondary school teachers‟ classroom behaviours and practice using two different observational instruments, detailed field notes and pupil and teachers‟ perceptions, focusing on English and mathematics teaching; (2) To explore typical and more effective classroom practice of teachers in Years 2, 6 and 9, across different school contexts, professional life phases and ages in relation to observation of practice and professional, situated and/or personal factors which are perceived to affect observed practice over time; and, (3) To draw out implications from the findings of (1) and (2)above for policymakers...

...U I D E T O TEACHING ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION INTRODUCTION NEED FOR THE GUIDE The Teaching Assessment and Evaluation Guide provides instructors with starting-points for reflecting on their teaching, and with advice on how to gather feedback on their teaching practices and effectiveness as part of a systematic program of teaching development. As well, the Guide provides guidance on how teaching might be fairly and effectively evaluated, which characteristics of teaching might be considered, and which evaluation techniques are best suited for different purposes. The Teaching Assessment and Evaluation Guide is a companion to the Teaching Documentation Guide (1993), also prepared by the Senate Committee on Teaching and Learning (SCOTL). The Documentation Guide (available at the Centre for the Support of Teaching and on the SCOTL website) aims to provide instructors with advice and concrete suggestions on how to document the variety and complexity of their teaching contributions. Teaching is a complex and personal activity that is best assessed and evaluated using multiple techniques and broadly-based criteria. Assessment for formative purposes is designed to stimulate growth, change and improvement in teaching through reflective practice. Evaluation, in contrast, is used for summative purposes to give an overview of a particular instructor’s teaching in a particular course and setting. Informed judgements on teaching effectiveness can best be made...
