...TEACHING POETRY APPRECIATION IN THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL: A CASE STUDY OF THREE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE TECHIMAN MUNICIPALITY INTRODUCTION Very few people are gifted with talents to understand or write poetry. The taste of poetry has to be cultivated with a careful handling of the subject failing which the poetry can results into irritating sign of neurosis on the students. Hence, there is great need of suitable curriculum as well as careful handling of the subject. Despite the fact that, poetry is one of the highly specialized forms of language, its status is diminished. It is partly because of the curriculum and partly because of the English teachers who execute the curriculum of poetry [Robert Scholes, 2001]. Most teachers of literature in general and poetry to be specific have the tendency of rather relying too heavily on critical commentaries of literary works (Yenkson 1987). Yenkson further asserts that “these notes are written by Secondary School teachers with the sole purpose of helping students to pass their exams”. Many of these teachers think that the use of those notes will spare them and their students the agony of having to study their recommended text. Apart from this, Senior High School English and Literature in English lessons are dominated by the need to prepare students for exams, hence in especially core English lessons the literature aspect particularly poetry is relegated to background since the literature forms a very minute part in the...

...HABITS OF PRIVATE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS AS OPPOSED TO PUBLIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS KOBINA AMISSAH-AYIKU RHODA ANSU YEBOAH PROJECT SUPERVISOR DR. AMANKWAH INTRODUCTION “Reading habits” refers to the behaviour which expresses the liking for reading of individual types and tastes of reading (Sangkaeo 1999). More or less, it refers to the different tastes that individuals have in terms of reading. Book reading is an essential part of any developing nation. Iheanacho (2007) opined that a healthy reading culture has a pivotal role to play in the social, economic and technological development of any country. All the developed nations that exist in our world today are where they are because they managed to obtain a high level of reading and so therefore have expanded their understanding of life. To Holte (1998), the importance of reading is essential to full participation in modern society because it adds value to life and provides access to culture and cultural heritage. We can therefore see the importance of reading in our everyday lives. PROBLEM STATEMENT In the study, we intend to find out if our Senior High School students have been able to adopt good reading habits which might be beneficial to themselves and the nation as a whole. We raise the issue of book reading habits because we feel that our fellow Ghanaians do not actively engage themselves in reading which will be able to develop them really well. This statement is based on our experience in the Senior High School system...

...INTRODUCTION This proposal aims to study the extent to which audio visual resources can be used in teaching business management subject effectively in the senior high schools and the effects it would have on students’ academic performance Background to the Study Business management is a course which its content are not stories that an individual can picture in mind, rather it’s a practical course which demands a deep thinking-reasoning ability for one to understand and even to apply its knowledge in real business situation. Scholars were able to develop theories and models after studying real life situation at the work place (industries). An individual may go through the business management course but in the end cannot or will not be able to apply the knowledge acquired in the course at the workplace or managing oneself (self-management). In the traditional classroom teaching, there is hardly any scope for the student to interact with the teacher, teaching learning resources and the teaching learning environment. Teaching becomes very monotonous and students have to mostly rely on rote learning. Most often, classroom teaching is dominated by the lecture method. Learning has shifted from response strengthening to knowledge acquisition and from knowledge acquisition to construction of knowledge. In this context, the duty of the teacher is to provide appropriate environment where the student will construct his or her knowledge by interacting with his physical and social environment...

Kumbar Professor Department of Studies in Library and Information Science Karnatak University Dharwad – 580 003 INDIA Introduction The kind of information required by the user, methods adopted in searching information, environment affected, time spent, problems faced and solutions made, the satisfaction/dissatisfaction arising from the information gathered and the relationship of the user with the system – all come under purview of a user study. A user study is the means for systematic examination of the characteristics of information behaviour of the users. Progress in information technology has offered today’s information seekers different opportunities to access the information resources in variety of formats, including commonly-available electronic information sources, such as CDROMs, databases, Web-OPACs, and the Internet. In some instances these are replacing the print-based information sources as the primary media for the storage and communication of recorded information. The increase in information available on the Web has affected information-seeking behavior, with many types of information in many different locations all available in one place.1 Information-seeking behaviour involves personal reasons for seeking information, the kinds of...

... the level of digital library development in Malaysia, the research questions, the limitations and the scope, the researcher felt the appropriateness for adopting both the qualitative and quantitative data gathering techniques i.e. the survey method, using the questionnaire as the instrument and supported by qualitative data obtained through structured interviews. A combination of these research design helped provides more data to work with and ultimately a more accurate evaluation (O’Neill, 2006) and according to Hemming (2008) human geographers were also increasingly employing both approaches in their research. Another reason for adopting both qualitative and quantitative data gathering techniques was that since there had been little documentation on the subject matter, it was therefore important to get to the source of primary information so that each method could complement and substantiate the other and making the findings more concrete. In short, the strengths of qualitative studies should be demonstrated for research that was exploratory or descriptive and that stressed on the importance of context, setting, and participants’ frames of reference (Marshall and Rossman, 2006). The objectives of the study were to identify the extent of readiness of Malaysian libraries in providing digital library operations and services, having embraced library 131 automation, including problems faced that included both general library problems and digital library related problems and more...

...Chapter 1 Introduction Background of the Study In the world of reading, our interest is one of the most salient factor that needs to be consider. It depends on the reasons why we read a certain material. We read because we are force to do so, for school requirements or we read we like it. If we like to read, reading materials matters most. Among the four macro skills in learning, Reading is the most important that a person needs to acquire because it is a vehicle that can be used to know and discover the world of learning and experiences. Reading defined as the process of decoding the printed materials. It is the very important aspect in education. It is basic tool of all subject areas. As stated by Santiago (2003) of Department of Education, National Capital Region. Reading is the mother of all skills. Reading is one of the myriad vehicles that provide readers with opportunities to anchor their spaceship of eagerness and interests – to know and discover the secrets behind the wonderful planet of vision and ideas. (Violesa S. Adrian) However, students nowadays, reading is taken for granted. They access to almost anything electronic such that old habits like playing street games or even reading have almost gone extinct. And one important educational issue is to increase the amount of interesting reading that students engage in. The bulk of the research in this area examined text characteristics that contribute to making reading materials more interesting. Gregg Schraw...

...Conceptual Framework Most research reports cast the problem statement within the context of a conceptual or theoretical framework.4 A description of this framework contributes to a research report in at least two ways because it (1) identifies research variables, and (2) clarifies relationships among the variables. Linked to the problem statement, the conceptual framework “sets the stage” for presentation of the specific research question that drives the investigation being reported. For example, the conceptual framework and research question would be different for a formative evaluation study than for a summative study, even though their variables might be similar. Scholars argue that a conceptual or theoretical framework always underlies a research study, even if the framework is not articulated.5 This may seem incongruous, because many research problems originate from practical educational or clinical activities. Questions often arise such as “I wonder why such an event did not [or did] happen?” For example, why didn't the residents' test-interpretation skills improve after they were given feedback? There are also occasions when a study is undertaken simply to report or describe an event, e.g., pass rates for women versus men on high-stakes examinations such as the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1. Nevertheless, it is usually possible to construct at least a brief theoretical rationale for the study. The rationale in the USMLE example may be, for...
