...and Theoretical Framework of the Study Education prepares children for the world of work and helps them to develop their personal talents, discover who they are, and where they would best fit into society’s workforce as viewed by the Functionalist. They see three main function of education; role allocation, providing skills, and socialization. Education can be seen to provide pupils/ students with the curriculum and hidden curriculum; teaching skills that will prepare them physically, mentally and socially for the world of work in later life (Szarowicz, 2004). This concept of education determines how education is essential for one’s life. It is the milestone towards success. Even though an individual came from an informal type of education they can still acquire knowledge that may be beneficial for their goodness. It trains future individual to be ready for their chosen career. Since then, education together with hard work, perseverance and determination is the only key behind every achievement. This achievement can be aspire through the good foundation of Basic Education which is equal to 6 years in elementary and 4 years in high school from the old curriculum and that is presently the Enhance Basic Education or the K to 12 Curriculum that is equivalent to 1 year kindergarten, 6 years elementary, 4 years in junior high school and 2 years senior high school.

Of these, the impact of ICT and the new knowledge economy are the most significant. Changes in our educational practice lead, in turn, to changes in our approaches to teaching and learning. These changes also impact on our teaching and learning paradigms. Currently, as over the past few decades, we teach and learn in a constructivist learning paradigm. This article discusses past and present paradigm shifts in education and then explores possible future learning paradigms in the light of the knowledge explosion in the knowledge era that we are currently entering. 1. The impact of ICT on education The electronic information revolution currently experienced in the world can be compared to and reveals the same characteristics as the first information revolution started by Gutenberg’s printing press. This means that, just as present-day society accepts...

...section on disequilibrium pricing -- price ceilings and floors -- provides an opportunity to illustrate the upside and downside of interference with market pricing mechanisms. The opening illustration of a kidney sale on eBay demonstrates the power and potential problems of markets. This introduction sets the general direction of this chapter, which is to look at how the market system answers the following questions: 1. What determines the price of a good or a service? 2. How does the price of a product affect its production and consumption? 3. Why do prices and production levels often change? NEW TO THIS EDITION • New headline on campus drinking • New headline on demand shifts for natural gas • One new question for discussion • One new problem LECTURE LAUNCHERS Where should you start? Supply and Demand analysis is the foundation of much of the analysis the student will perform during the semester. Therefore, it is important that students get a good start with this material. 1. Begin your discussion by identifying market participants are, that is the suppliers and the demanders. Students sometimes confuse the colloquial use of the term “market” as in a supermarket with its use by economics. 2. Follow this discussion with the concept factor and product markets. Showing the students how the market participants interact in the circular flow helps illustrate the...

...teamwork has proven to be very important for me. For my SMART goal, I chose to focus on interprofessional communication as a means for enhanced patient care and quality. This goal will be specific to all those dealing with the patients care, from doctors all the way to Certified Nursing Assistants. This includes all specialties that are consulted to work with the patient (physical/occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychiatry, etc.). My GOAL is to improve communication within the team and with the patient by providing bedside rounding once per shift. This gives a chance for questions to be answered, both from staff and patient, concerns, and opportunities for suggestions on improvement of patient care. This will take place within the unit at the bedside of the patient. By educating staff of the importance of communication within the team and with the patient, hopefully, staff will be willing and helpful to assist in making shift-by-shift bedside rounding a norm within the unit. Daily bedside rounding sheets will be logged into the patient chart for those unable to attend. This will not only improve communication at the bedside, but rounding reports will be available for all specialties working with the patient. This can work as a quick reference point and should include main topic areas such as: diagnosis, medications, pending tests/procedures, patient questions/concerns,...

Maligalig Technological Institute of the Philippines Cubao, Quezon City In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the English-002 Course MICHAEL DAVE D. LASCONIA JOHN PAULO DELA CRUZ NINO AERON JADORMEO CARL JOHN L. MAGNO YATREN V. ALAYON March, 2015 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The School is an important agent for the education of youth. Although they offer a variety of purpose, the main role of school is to prepare students for their future education or career. This preparation takes place by the time that the students choose what they want to pursue and acquire the knowledge offered in these programs. Hence, students can only make the most out of learning when they are competent enough to comply with the necessary requirements that they must accomplish to pass in every courses, which will be useful for their future education or career. In respect, students’ choice of program is an important part of their education and future perspective. For some, when you are an engineering student, it means that you are intelligent and good in solving problems, but it is not easy to be one. You need to maintain a passing grade of at least 3.00 or higher in the major courses and also including the minor subjects. Some students find it difficult to maintain their grades. For some reasons they...

...wanted to make more money doing something I love. Loving my choice of profession is a vital key for me. Not loving my career choice would defeat the purpose of differentiating between a job and a career. In addition it is an easy way to set yourself up to be successful as it comes unsurprisingly. Choosing a nursing career means; I wouldn’t have to push myself to do something I don’t want to just for a pay check. It is simple I love taking care of people and it is something that has always come naturally. Nursing careers allows flexibility as there are different needs in different environments that calls for Nurses. This allows 24 hour shift availability. For the morning person there is the day shift. Designed for the guy that’s not so nice before noon, there is a second shift. Then you have the night owls that love to work all night, thirds shift. This is also beneficial to mom’s like me, which would like time off for business and time with their children. Likewise a lot of mom’s choose the three day 12 hour...

Explain how the law of diminishing returns influences the shapes of the total variable-cost and total-cost curves. Total Product | TFC | TVC | TC | AFC | AVC | ATC | MC | 0 | 60 | 0 | 60 | | | | | 1 | 60 | 45 | 105 | 60.0 | 45.0 | 105.0 | 45 | 2 | 60 | 85 | 145 | 30.0 | 42.5 | 72.5 | 40 | 3 | 60 | 120 | 180 | 20.0 | 40.0 | 60.0 | 35 | 4 | 60 | 150 | 210 | 15.0 | 37.5 | 52.5 | 30 | 5 | 60 | 185 | 245 | 12.0 | 37.0 | 49.0 | 35 | 6 | 60 | 225 | 285 | 10.0 | 37.5 | 47.5 | 40 | 7 | 60 | 270 | 330 | 8.6 | 38.6 | 47.1 | 45 | 8 | 60 | 325 | 385 | 7.5 | 40.6 | 48.1 | 55 | 9 | 60 | 390 | 450 | 6.7 | 43.3 | 50.0 | 65 | 10 | 60 | 465 | 525 | 6.0 | 46.5 | 52.5 | 75 | As the graph shows above, between 0 and 4 outputs, the curves slope of TVC and TC are going at a moderate pace, the marginal return is satisfactory by this point. As the firm increase producing one more good, the slopes of the curves then increase at an increasing rate as diminishing marginal returns occur. b) Graph AFC, AVC, ATC, and MC. Explain the derivation and shape of each of these four curves and their relationships to one another. Specifically, explain in nontechnical terms why the MC curve intersects both the AVC and...

...Degree by Default The writer of “Degree by Default”, April Yee, is a Ph.D. degree candidate in the Sociology and Higher Education departments at the University of Pennsylvania. She does a lot of research into the sociology in education and social class inequality. The article “Degree by Default” gets into the reason(s) behind why graduates from high school go to college. She Followed 34 first-year students from diverse backgrounds, male and female students, and even first generation students to children that had parents that went to college. With all the diverse students chosen, she wanted to find out why students went to college, consequences of going to college when you aren’t really sure you want to go, and the “college for all” effect on society. The students she chose for her research had varying reasons for going to college. Some of the reasons for going include; because it was the next logical step in their lives, a degree is necessity to have a secure middle-class lifestyle, to have the college “experience” for personal growth, to figure out who they were, their parents put pressure on them, and/or just going through the motions, and one actually wanted to go to learn more. All the diverse backgrounds came as many different reasons why they went to college in the first place, but for the most part, she discovered that the main reasons that these college freshmen went was because they felt like they had to because it was what is expected of them of societies...

...identification of areas of change, clarification of core and specialty skills, which in turn assist in the redefinition of nursing roles and eventually the adaption of a new nursing model. The new nursing model requires ongoing, detailed, and process driven education to establish and clarify the change objectives and new nursing roles. Quantitative and qualitative data collected from numerous sources, in conjunction with unit-based round tables, individual patients, nurse managers, and administrative interviews allows for consideration of multiple stakeholders. When patients vocalize a positive experience with services provided, this information helps to shape the new roles and responsibilities for the nursing teams. Proposed Change After the second California Medicare Services survey in 2013 major nursing deficiencies were highlighted between K Hospital’s patient acuities and the current staffing mix. In response to these specific deficiencies and under corporate direction an after action process improvement team was formed. Comprised of a regional chief clinical officer, a district resource chief clinical officer, three nursing unit managers, director of quality management, director of infection control and the director of education the team examined the survey findings and determined three areas of action needed....

...leader and protector for family while women focus on home such as taking care of the house, cooking, raising children, being emotionally supportive of the husband. 2. Feminism is the belief in social, economic, and political equality for women. The first wave was the fight for women’s rights for legal and political equality. This effort of women led to the passage of women’s right to vote in 1920. The second wave focused on social and cultural inequalities. The book “Feminine Mystique” by Betty Freidan argues women were unhappy because of the feminine mystique. This was a damaging ideal of femininity and it restricted women to the role of housewife and mother, giving up on work and education. Feminists fought to provide opportunities and to ensure that women would have a choice in areas such as education, working, relationships or marriage, and control of their reproductive rights. The third wave reacted to the second wave. The third-wave feminists tended to be more global and multicultural, and its ideas beyond middle class, white women, addressing the different disadvantages women experience because of their race, ethnicity, and class. Even though feminists has changed the public awareness of gender in society, the institutional discrimination and the glass ceiling still exist. Women are limited in the field of management or career advancement due to the widely held cultural expectations about what men and women can and should do. Women climb the academic career ladder at a slower...

...many problems and conflicts in education for Latino citizens. This is due to the fact that it is a national problem that needs to be localized. This conflict persists across all of the United States, and each school district needs to address the problem and specialize solutions that support and encourage their student populations. While each district has different conflicts and needs, there are a few that seem to encompass a large majority. Lack of parent involvement, negative attitudes or expectations, and lack of reading at a young age are three major problems that need to be addressed. However, in order for any solution or program to work effectively and continue long-term, a change in culture needs to occur. Latino parents and...

...diploma/certificate (non-degree)”. The researchers choose this topic because college students nowadays have gone through a lot of conflicts that possibly lead them in deciding whether they shift into another courses or not. Shifting of courses is also one of the issues that disrupts the development and integration of the country even in the Philippines. In the University of Mindanao – College of Engineering Education, the researchers wanted to know what is the most frequent reason that gives the student a conclusion about shifting courses. In shifting courses there are four possible reasons why a college student demands to shift their course. The first possible reason in shifting course is the problem with the student’s course itself, if the course does not meet the demands of a student, it may cause failure or boredom to the student that makes them change course. Second reason is the problem with the place or university, if the place causes uncomfortable aura to the students, then it may cause unhappiness or unsatisfactory to their needs. Third reason is the financial problem, if the fund of the student to study in a specific course is insufficient, it will force the student to shift to the course where their budget is compatible. The last and common reason why college students shift course is because of the problem with the student’s choice of course at the beginning, in...

...Leadership and Distance Education in Higher Education: A US perspective Sonja A. Irlbeck University of Minnesota Abstract The premise of this article is that while in the US understanding is growing about the technologies and strategies needed for effective distance education in an online environment, leadership efforts remain weak. The article describes leadership for distance education, historical perspectives of leading distance education, and how the Internet has directly changed distance education efforts in US higher education institutions. The article concludes with an appraisal of how the approach of higher education leaders must change in order for distance education efforts to be successful. Keywords: change; distance education; higher education; Internet; leaders; leadership; technology; policy Leadership and Distance Education in Higher Education: A US perspective The worlds of work and education are changing, and leaders in today’s educational institutions need to determine how to effectively lead in the acquisition, development, and dissemination of information to tomorrow’s workers. Leadership is necessary to bring cohesion to the distance education arena within higher education. Drucker (1998) maintained that in the latter part of the last century, technology resulted in a transformation of the social structure. We saw the “rise and fall of the blue-collar worker” (p. 539), the rise of the industrial worker who gave way to the rise of the knowledge worker...

...Introduction: In this report I will be explaining the graduates’ future in UK labour market and how to improve, as you can understand since there is an economic downturn, since employment opportunities have declined for most workers, especially in today labour market. Since graduates who have high degree qualification is far protected from downturn to those who are graduated recently. There is a quote by Sir Richard Branson, entrepreneur in 2012 who gave a word advice to graduates as they don’t lose hope and go forward when finding a dream job after finishing university, as there is nothing in life is easy, as they have to work for it. “No matter how great your qualifications are, if somebody else in your field graduates a year before you do, they will have a jump on you in the job market. So cast tradition aside – get ahead!” Sir Richard Branson, entrepreneur of Virgin (2012). As I read on I have found an interesting a book written by Gerbrand Tholen as he explains the nature of labour market among graduates and how does recession effect on them. In his book, as he explains further he said: “Despite the lack of jobs for new graduates since the start of the last recession, there is no shortage in advice for them on how to approach the labour market. Indeed, the graduate labour market and in particular the labour market for graduate entrants has been the focus of much attention in media, policy and academic circles.” Tholen, G. (2014). The...
