...Supporting the Needs of All Learners For this week's assignment, I chose to travel back to EDU648: Teaching & Learning with Technology. In this class our assignment was to create a PowerPoint presentation that described the aspects of the Dynamic Instruction Design Model. The Dynamic Instruction Design Model, incorporates the needs of all learners in its' very core. The Dynamic Instruction Design Model was developed by Lever, Duffy, and McDonald. It is a six step model, built around a continual internal and external feedback loop, with each step containing opportunities for feedback, and revision within it. The six steps are Knowing the Learners, Articulating the Objectives, Establishing a Learning Environment, Identify Teaching and Learning Strategies, Selecting Technologies, and Evaluation and Revision of the lesson. By utilizing the(DID)Model, all learners have the opportunity to participate and grow as students. For instance Knowing our Learners is the first step. As teachers it is our job to Assess our learners developmental stages, both physically and cognitively. I see a huge difference between the 6th grades I teach, and the 8th graders I teach. It is important to know the students prior knowledge, and their learning style. How many times have you sat in a class, and been completely bored, due to the method the teacher used to present the information? By knowing their learning styles, we as educators can better accommodate...

...Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to give learners a knowledge of current UK crime and disorder legislation and the sentences and orders available to the criminal justice agencies. Learners will also develop knowledge of the effects of criminal behaviour on communities and an understanding of how society works to reduce crime, disorder and antisocial behaviour and to support the victims and witnesses of crime. Unit introduction This unit introduces learners to the legal framework that exists to prevent crime and deal with offenders. They will look at the powers of the courts, including the orders and sentences that the courts can impose. They will look at the theories of the causes of criminal behaviour and other contributory factors that may lead to criminality and antisocial behaviour, for example socio-economic and environmental influences, lack of education and negative family influences. Learners will explore the problems resulting from criminal activity and antisocial behaviour. They will explore the costs of crime, to local authorities, the community and individuals. Learners will also investigate the ‘fear of crime’ and how this manifests itself in both individuals and communities and the impact this can have on quality of life. Learners will learn how their local police proactively tackle crime using problem-solving models, such as intelligence-led policing. Learners will investigate the use of community safety strategies and multi-agencies...

(Keywords: teacher education, online teaching, professional development, online learning, teacher preparation) nline learning at the K–12 level grows substantially each year. The issue is no longer whether or not online learning is or should occur, but rather how it is implemented. Watson, Murin, Vashaw, Gemin, and Rapp (2011) reported that, as of late 2011, online and blended learning opportunities exist for at least some students in all 50 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia and that there are now 30 states with full-time, multidistrict schools that enrolled an estimated total of 250,000 students in school year 2010–2011, for an annual increase of 25%. More than one-quarter (27%) of all high school students took at least one online * Both authors contributed equally to this work.

...know. The students help each other and this gives the children a chance to learn different problem solving methods. Testing students give teachers a great indicator of how much each student knows. This will give the teacher a good starter point or gives them a chance to prepare for what they may have to go over again. Finding students strong points and making the connections on how that subject was taught gives the teacher a great indicator of how they learn. There are many different ways to learn; Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. Visual learners use images to help better understand what is bring taught. Somone telling you an apple is red or the sky is blue does not hold as much promise as knowing that an apple is red because you have seen it or the sky is blue because you stood outside and saw it yourself. Things like pictures, charts, and even movies allow students to have an image to help them remember what is taught. Auditory learners learn by listening. Some people are able to pick up on things that they hear, such as music. When you listen to the radio, because the songs are played often it is common that you may start picking up on a song. Catchy songs aren’t the only...

...practice as much as they can by using some techniques for supporting what the best they can do. They need to concentrate in all skill of communications which are reading, writing, listening and speaking. However the techniques from my suggestion are very simply for everyone. Firstly, the learners should try to stop thinking in own language. People who want to be rapidly improve should be awareness because when they are not realize in their own language, the only way they could do is imagine in foreign language that they need to practice. Therefore, they will automatically speak in foreign language. This is very simple technique even though it is slightly difficult when the lesson has been started in first month. Secondly, travelling around the country which uses the language they want to learn. This technique is very useful for practicing in speaking and listening skills. People around the country could help learners to improve. However, the crucial point that must be concerned for this technique is the travelling should have by themselves (or only with their foreign friend) otherwise they could not receive an advantage from this practice lesson due to their friends who try to interrupt them by their own language. Finally, reading many books is significantly important and the learners need to keep on. Not only read the text books on their academic study, but all kind of books are also significant. Reading can encourage all skills of learning. The contexts in the books can guide...

...CORPORAL PUNISHMENT RESEARCH STUDY CHAPTER 4: DATA ANALYSIS, INTERPRETATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINDINGS 4.1 INTRODUCTION To interpret something is to give it a meaning., Ttherefore, data analysis is the act of organising and reducing the data to a more manageable and interpretable form (Krüger, De Vos, Fouché & Venter, and 2005: 218). To put it more concisely, data analysis is the organisationing of raw data into more concise and intelligible data which can later be analysed (Bless & Kathuria, 2000: 1). The researcher used both the quantitative and qualitative data analysis to interpret the findings. The researcher administered the interviews to 10 learners, 4 parents, 4 teachers and 2 education officers and also the questionnaires were purposively distributed questionnaires to 16 parents, 14 education officers and 20 teachers from the two selected schools. Upon the completion of Once the interviews and results from the questionnaires, were completed, the researchers sat down to review, analyse and sort the crude data. and the same information from the questionnaires was grouped and presented in the form of numbers and later changed into percentage. The data from both qualitative interviews and questionnaires was sorted, arranged, re-arranged and reduced to manageable categories through coding that gave rise to appropriate themes. Key themes, from the corroborated qualitative and quantitative data were identified. The themes were supported by the qualitataive...

... Evaluation of Technology Impact on Higher Education The important role played by ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in today’s world cannot be denied by anyone, whether it is in the corporate world, social, home and so on. Technology has changed the way on how universities teach and how the students learn. The advancement and pervasiveness of ICT in the 21st century and in the world today means that many nations have been relying on technology to handle and address many arising challenges faced in the education field. Some literature reviews were done in this paper where we would look into the needs of learners today, what and how they learn, how ICT could be used in learning, the new culture of learning through online learning and virtual classroom, how e-learning was accepted among the learners and what were the barriers to ICT implementation in higher education institutions. Introduction Peter and Hong (2011) pointed out that in the past few decades; there have been great changes in education, especially to those economical advanced countries. The arising issues of massification, internationalization, diversification and marketisation in higher education were brought about by political, economical and social changes as well as the globalization and global economic crisis. These issues had resulted in the increase in the number of students and demands for higher education, the number and type of higher education providers...

...assurer (IQA) role it is beneficial to understand what quality assurance is and why it has been established within the learning process. ‘Quality assurance can be defined as a system to monitor and evaluate a product or a service.’ Pg122 Assessors handbook It is the role of the IQA to uphold and maintain the credibility of the qualifications undertaken by candidates. The IQA supports this by helping employers and candidates to fully understand how these qualifications can further support and benefit their business. Thus ensuring effective delivery meeting the learners’ needs and expectations, which follows their agreed learning plan. They will maintain a close link between the learner, assessor and employer to enable full understanding in all assessment methods and the criteria they must adhere to. ‘Internal Quality Assurance is a key factor in managing ‘risk’ and ensuring that when certificates are claimed for learners the requirements of the national standards have been reliably met.’ (City & Guilds guidance on Internal Quality Assurance of Qualifications pg 6) The IQA team has a specific function with the assessment process within (education) centres. Although these functions may vary slightly, the guidelines the IQA’s work within remain the same. For example City & Guilds outline 4 main aspects to the IQA role, which state they must; * Plan, operate and evaluate internal assessment and quality assurance systems. * Support and develop tutors and/or assessors...

...research all over the world. In Malaysia, it has burgeoned throughout numerous fields of professional practice and education especially in health settings. However even with high formal education and training people received, they’re not ready for a position of responsibilities unless they have the capabilities to learn from the experienced. This is known as reflective practice. Reflective practice is taking critical attention to the practical and theory values which involved in routines by examining practice contemplatively and reflexively which leads to development understanding (Bolton, 2010). One of the famous reflections model in the worlds is Gibbs Model of Reflections (Appendix 1). Observing my workplace as a learning environment with analysing challenges and barriers, I’ve located three areas of improvement using this model. Being in one of the biggest clinic in Southern Malaysia, the major challenge is to endure high workload either in clinical or non-clinical works. Subsequently many of staff especially juniors which also involved in mentorship programs are unable to define and located their own learning needs. As an improvement, I’ve choose to develop the learning contract. It can be defined as an agreement achieved between learner and mentor to develop shared expectations about what will be learn by the learner and how the learning will be measured (Boak, 1953). In my opinion it’s a dynamic process which can be expanded in time and scope to helps learner with learning...
