...Present a critical review of the present status of science education at the primary level of the Jamaican education systems, and make recommendations of the policy and methodological changes that may be implemented to guarantee the teaching and learning of authentic science at the primary level. Introduction This essay attempts to critically analyze the present status of science education at the primary level of the Jamaican education systems and seeks to make recommendations of the policy and methodological changes that may be implemented to guarantee the teaching and learning of authentic science at the primary level. Students need to use scientific information to make choices that arise in everyday situations. Every student need to be able to engage intelligently in public discourse and debate about important issues that involve science. Hence the right to share in the enthusiasm and personal fulfillment that can come from understanding and learning about science should be afforded to students. Scientific skills require that students be able to learn to reason, think creatively, make decisions, solve problems and contribute to sustainable economic development and to the social welfare as it relates to science. Thus it is important for students to develop an interest in science from an early stage and this officially starts in the classroom. None of this is possible however, without the input of a good teacher and the necessary resources in the science arena. Therefore...

...The relationship between nursing and society The profession of nursing has had a unique and enduring relationship with society over time. In 830 CE, the first account of nursing in the Muslim world was noted at the Qayrawan Hospital in Tunisia (Syed, 1993). For most people, Florence Nightingale is known as the first person truly recognized worldwide as a nurse. She based her belief in nursing as the act of placing the human body in the best condition possible to heal and be nurtured. She saw caring and respect for human beings as a universal need regardless of their status in society (Nightingale, 1859). Yet nursing often has a difficult relationship with society due to its social status and lack of professional identity. The situation is further complicated by the fact that there is a severe worldwide shortage of nurses and midwives in countries where the status of nurses is low and the burden of disease is growing daily (WHO, 2006). The lack of nurses within many societies makes understanding of their value and contributions much more difficult as they are not truly able to practise professional nursing. The International Council of Nurses (ICN), a federation of national nurses associations representing nurses in more than 128 counties, recognizes that nursing must create a professional identity within each culture in order to truly meet their social responsibility. ICN’s (2007) vision is to lead societies towards better health and that all nurses should “harness the knowledge...

...feProfessional Standards for Teachers and Trainers in Education and Training – England Introduction Teachers and trainers are reflective and enquiring practitioners who think critically about their own educational assumptions, values and practice in the context of a changing contemporary and educational world. They draw on relevant research as part of evidence-based practice. They act with honesty and integrity to maintain high standards of ethics and professional behaviour in support of learners and their expectations. Professional skills Professional values and attributes Professional knowledge and understanding Teachers and trainers are ‘dual professionals’; they are both subject and/or vocational specialists and experts in teaching and learning. They are committed to maintaining and developing their expertise in both aspects of their role to ensure the best outcomes for their learners. These expectations of teachers and trainers underpin the 2014 professional standards, with their overall purpose being to support teachers and trainers to maintain and improve standards of teaching and learning, and outcomes for learners. The professional standards are set across three sections each of equal importance: each links to and supports the other sections. The 2014 professional standards: • set out clear expectations of effective practice in Education and Training; • enable teachers and trainers to identify areas for their own professional development; ...

...society which translates to a diverse workforce. Canadian realities and management perspectives play a major role in work and learning in Canada. Canada is an expensive country to live in, and it is important for Canadians to graduate from high school and attend college or university thereafter. Learning for Canadians does not stop at college or university graduation. Canadians continue to learn in the work environment. When someone starts a new job, there is a lot of learning that takes place in order for an employee to perform the duties associated with their job. Depending on the role, the learning can take years. New computer software programs are constantly being introduced or changed so employees are challenged to keep up with new programs which ultimately change the way employees perform their roles. In for profit organizations the focus is on profit so if fewer employees can do more with training, then employers are willing to invest in education because education is less expensive than hiring more employees. Incentives may be provided to employees to encourage increased productivity. Many people I’ve spoken with have mentioned how busy they are at work and it is not uncommon for them to be working longer hours to keep up. Some people in the workforce today may not have attended college or university and are encouraged to obtain university education. Some universities, like Athabasca University, enable employees to obtain degrees while maintaining full time...

...We often hear the phrases: “Why Do I Need a Paralegal?” and “What Does a Paralegal Do?”. The American Bar Association (ABA) defines a paralegal as: A person qualified by education, training or work experience who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental agency or other entity and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which a lawyer is responsible. Paralegals are employed in various organizations, including law firms, corporations and governmental agencies. The role of a paralegal can vary depending upon the size and practice area of the law firm. For example, in the sole practioner setting, a paralegal may be responsible for increased administrative duties and case management in addition to drafting documents and legal research in a broad range of practice areas. In the mid-large law firm setting, a paralegal may be a member of a legal team with specific responsibilities tailored to one particular practice area or skill set, e.g. pre-litigation, discovery or trial. The role of a paralegal is evolving to include more substantive legal tasks and responsibilities. This...

...AQA AS Sociology SCLY2: Education with Sociological Research Methods Student Guide Introduction According to sociologist Michael Rutter we spend 15000 hours in the education system. Consequently the schooling process has a large role in forming our personalities. For some, education also manages to act as a way of socialising people into the norms and values that are seen to be important for a particular society. For others it can be seen as a source of conflict particularly when issues surrounding gender, class and ethnicity are put under the sociologists, ‘microscope’. It also provides an excellent indicator of how political ideology affects social policy, with the changing of governments impacting on educational policy. Some questions sociologists are interested in about education are: * Why do some pupils achieve more than others? * What is the relationship between education and the economy? * What is the purpose of education? * Do pupil’s school experiences vary? Assessment The course will be assessed by examination only. The examination will consist of various short answer question and essay style questions. Date of Exam: June 2010 Duration: 2 hr The Unit 2 exam is worth 60% of your final AS level grade. There will be 90 marks available on the paper.

...Appendix………………………………….…………….... Pg 18 Executive Summary The quest is on for the replacement of Mrs. McBaine, Twinkletoes Early Childhood Centre’s Director for the past 14 years. She has manifested her intention to migrate to another country, thus leaving her post vacant. This paper analyzes her Director position and presents a recruitment process adapted from Pilbeam & Corbridge (2006). Upon learning of the director’s job description and required qualifications of candidates interested in taking over her position, a job advertisement is created to attract qualified candidates. They are thoroughly screened if they have the right educational qualifications and work experience. These do not necessarily have to match Mrs. McBaine’s education and work experience because her credentials as the centre’s pioneering director and teacher are unmatched. Shortlisted candidates go through the selection process of testing and interviews until the most qualified and most...

...utilized in the health care changes occurring in the United States of America. There is an increased strain on our current health care system due to longer life spans and with more people obtaining health coverage. The number of primary care physicians is unable to increase at a rate to alleviate the need from the general population. Nurses provide a fundamental role to the doctors and the patients they serve. The nursing role has transformed throughout the profession’s lifespan. Nursing care is in a pivotal transformation in the evolving health care system. Nurses are being underutilized while demand for educated providers has increased. “While most nurses are registered nurses (RNs), more than a quarter million nurses are advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), who have master’s or doctoral degrees and pass national certification exams.” (Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2010a, p. 2). A report from the IOM identified four recommendations to improve the role nurses play in healthcare. These recommendations expanded on nursing education, providing care to full extent of education and training; reshaping relationship between nurses and doctors; and changing policies to improve data collection and the information infrastructure. (Institute of Medicine [IOM]. 2010a). To produce enough educated nurses during World War II, a two-year associates degree of nursing was established. These schools were very popular and expanded the profession quickly. Currently there are approximately...
