Part 2: framework for curriculum evaluation

Part 3: Curriculum analysis Strengths and weakness of the current curriculum Strengths The current curriculum is primarily geared towards ensuring a student-oriented instructional platform. Therefore, most of the tenets basic to a sound and efficient curriculum are inherently embedded.

The content is also keenly and appropriately customized to meet all the student’s requirements as per each grade and level. Weakness The primary weakness that the curriculum creates to my students is in reading since the curriculum is ...

Abstract

The most crucial goal that has been targeted in all research studies in the past few years has been toward prevention of problems. The scientific method is a stringent and proven procedure, which can be used to determine the most probable evidence to back up an environmental phenomenon. The proposition is usually made in a cause-and-effect phenomenon. Such a proposition is known as a ‘hypothesis’. The method used for testing the hypothesis is termed ‘experimentation’. This procedure is comprised of five elementary and significant steps. The most salient aspect that renders the scientific methods most popular is the fact ...

Diversity can be described as the sum total of all individual attributes within an organization (Binder et al., 2008). It is therefore the case that the foundational basis for the diversity is dependent on an individual’s background, culture, and perception. Consequently, it is critical that I undertake a personal evaluation based on my background, culture, and perception so as to have a conscious idea within the wider construct of diversity in my organization. Having been brought up in a contemporary middle class family, I never had to endure extreme struggles as is the case with some of the ...

Effect heat has on nociceptors

The history about the children with disabilities is the key to understand the children with disabilities through the events and laws concerning special education. Esteves and Rao emphasize that the events determined the evolution of special education, gradually ...

Introduction

The journey by which an individual develops is both very personal and also very predictable. It is predictable by way of accomplishing certain milestones at particular times. Development is marked by these milestones and through them, an individual's development is able to be termed “normal’ or “abnormal.” However, it is personal in that each person achieves these milestones at different times in their development. The similarities between the development of each person allow for the timeline of development to be documented and analyzed.

Despite the enthusiast nature of using computers in learning, research disputes its effectiveness especially in elementary schools like kindergarten. Learners in elementary schools are raw and naive and require proper guidance from educators as opposed to exposing them to technology. Therefore, the following steps would inform best learning strategy in elementary schools. Arithmetic and simple reading techniques is another step in producing knowledgeable elementary students. It should be emphasised that learners require the basics of academics as opposed to the direct exposure to technology. When fundamentals of simple arithmetic and reading skills are realised in a student at elementary ...

As I sit down to write a few lines on my experience related to mathematics, I find myself at a loss to describe mathematics, as I understand. I have read that mathematics is a science related to numbers and their operations, measurements, and abstractions. This evokes memories of childhood and how I dreaded numbers. How I hated memorizing multiplication tables. When I was in elementary school, I failed to recite the multiplication tables and my teacher punished me. This had profound effect on my young psyche. She forced me to write the tables ten times because she felt that ...

Summary

Tan (2007), establishes a Cognitive Behavior Therapy technique applying a unifying strategy to improve clinical issues of the patient. By the use of informed consent approach, Tan (2007) distinguishes the suitable therapeutic methods utilizing implied integration, a surreptitious method or precise integration, which is an unconcealed approach, which purposely promotes spiritual dynamics in counseling. Tan (20017) supports the effectiveness of the Cognitive Behavior Therapy technique using empirical data, from historical studies of cognitive therapy. Notably, the cognitive therapy has developed to include therapeutic approaches whereby the love of God is exhibited and uncovered through the Holy Spirit. This technique ...

East versus West, Capitalism versus Communism. Vietnam and North America are two very different countries. Not only they are located at the opposite sides of the globe, but also the mentality, the vision of the world is like day and night. It would be wrong to compare the educational system in these countries and decide which one is better. However, it could be useful to take a look at the outcomes of the systems and understand which works better. Although even this would be a bias vision, since the needs of the people in these countries and their goals ...

Art-related disciplines are critical to educating citizens and students of every age. Nevertheless, the arts have declined significantly in schools and public participation. According to a recent study by Rabkin and Hedberg (2011), fewer eighteen-year-olds in a 2008 survey reported receiving arts instruction in their childhood than a similar age group surveyed in 1982. The research suggested that the provision of arts education dropped from 65% in 1982 to about 50% in 2008 (Rabkin & Hedberg, 2011). Moreover, it included survey data gathered in 2002 and 1992 with each successive period indicating a severe decline in Americans’ access to arts ...

Introduction

Educators, civil rights advocates, law enforcement and development organizations for youth would agree that bullying can be avoided. Bullying can lead to serious impairment of both the health and achievement of vulnerable victims. Research indicated that nine out of ten elementary school children have been subjected to physical or psychological bullying by their peers, while six in ten have been bullies themselves (Reiter & Lefler, 2007 as cited in Cooper, 2011). Bullying can be considered a feature of school violence, which is a major concern in education today. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Fact Sheet 2010 revealed ...

The media has been helpful in promotion, enhancement and the advancement of scientific breakthroughs. An excellent media profiling and reporting can have a considerable impact on the popularity and the recognition of scientific research and findings. Science tends to be a separate and detached sphere, and the media serves as an intermediary of the seemingly distant scientific domain and the society. The media serve the society in becoming more knowledgeable about scientific works and increasing scientific literacy. Specifically, the media were supportive in describing the studies and findings in the field of biopsychology. Generally, the media tend to support ...

3. Education policy is one of the crucial principles that govern and enhances education systems. The goals of education policy include freedom, efficiency, as well as equity. Education policy has undergone tremendous changes (Rushefsky 311). Attending private elementary schools reveal various comparison issues with public schools. Student achievement is one of the factors that creates some difference between public school and private school. Students in private schools tend to have higher academic achievements compared to public schools. This is attributed to various components, which include smaller student enrollment, student-teacher ratio, as well as the percentage of minority students. Also, ...

The ‘pacifism and the war,’ is a literal piece by George Orwell as a response to accusations by other writers among others Woodcock and Mr. Comfort. It is a defensive response to the letters of accusations for his perceived role in the fascism war. He essentially addresses important themes that form the basis of these charges. The thesis of the literature thus focuses on the scope of the accusations advanced in the papers. As such, the audience of the paper includes the delivering agent and the authors of the accusing letters. It is a platform that he not only ...

Introduction

U.S. schools are known for low performance on international tests which measure 15-year-old students’ literacy in science, math, and reading. According to the 2007 report, the United States ranked 29th in science among 57 countries participating in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (Gonzalez and Kuenzi, 2012, p. 9; McFarlane, 2013, p. 39). The problems with school attainment were linked with students’ reduced interest in science and instructional approaches to science teaching (McFarlane, 2013, p. 39). In this regard the gaps highlighted administrators’ ineffective practices and teachers’ quality problem, which was ...

There are two tests that have been used over time to analyze and test an individual’s psychopathology and characteristics. The first test is called the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). The second test is known as the Rorschach Inkblot Test and was designed to assess and analyze thought process disorder. Both of these types of psychological testing have had different views and opinions. There has been great praise in the resourcefulness of these tests in many findings. In contrast to the positive reviews, there have been negative reviews as well. The findings of these tests have been controversial ...

Reading is one of the four language skills. It is taught mostly during the first years of studying at school and is considered to be one of the basic skills each person should possess. It seems impossible to imagine a modern well-educated person who is not able to read or displays poor reading proficiency. However, some children face various reading disabilities. The resolution of this problem is special reading programs intended to increase reading proficiency which turned out to be quite effective. The results of the study show that the elementary school students who use reading proficiency in class ...

Linking Past Practices to Current Education

Erikson, Piaget, and Vygotsky have presented helpful insights that guide us to developmentally appropriate learning theories. Children’s interests and learning styles place the individual children at the center of the learning process as they are involved in rulemaking, hence the need for a DAP and child-centered teaching approaches. In DAP, the teacher respects the child's sequential patterns of development and individual differences to include developmentally appropriate practices. This means children should be left to be active participants in the learning process based on their interests rather than having a narrowly defined curriculum or pattern of learning. An important ...

Part A. Answer the following questions based on the literature:

PTP (Pretrial publicity) creates a set of problems that forensic social/cognitive/experimental psychologists are uniquely qualified to address. What are some of these problems? Hint: they are psychological (social/cognitive) and legal (procedural/substantive). Thus, begin by addressing: why we are concerned with PTP at all? What are the alleged effects and what does the social science research indicate regarding these effects (be specific in citing literature)? One of the problems, caused by Pre-Trial Publicity is the cognitive one. This means that juries get the information about the case under some circumstances, identified by the pre-trial mass media articles, which they ...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition characterized by learning and behavioural disorders. These disorders are caused by inattention of a person and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity of that person. Due to the issue of inattention, the person is unable to focus on anything for a longer time. He or she lacks persistence and is disorganized. Due to the problem of hyperactivity, the person may show constant motion and extreme level of restlessness. In impulsivity, the person shows hasty actions without thinking about the long-term consequences. Inattention and/or impulsivity are the most important signs of ADHD (NIMH, 2016). I like ...

When policy planners are putting together a plan for developing reading and writing assessment, they are naturally going to need multiple types of artifacts in order to yield a complete picture of each student’s progress (Ludwig 2003). This is particularly true when dealing with students in the primary grades, because they are often far from sophisticated in their interpersonal communication, which means that gaining an accurate picture can be even more difficult than it is in secondary grades (Yelland, Lee, O’Rourke & Harrison 2008). Teachers are taking on a number of different strategies to integrate the newest technologies ...

During his lifetime, Emile Durkheim was hailed as a famous French sociologist, psychologist and philosopher who, together with Karl Marx and Max Weber established the academic field we now know as social science. Durkheim published a number of seminal sociological works one of which was The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, which explained the origins of religion. Durkheim (1912) believes that religion "is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things”. Durkheim referred to sacred things as “apart and forbidden.” Beliefs and practices may also be considered as “sacred” and they help unite a community ...

Abstract

Juvenile delinquency in the United States is steadily increasing at an alarming rate. The age pool of offenders keeps on decreasing even for violent crimes such as homicide and rape. It is unclear on how the society deteriorated in successive decades since the 1970s crack cocaine epidemic. Street gangs took over droves of students into their establishments while promising acceptance. The programs that came to the aid of the criminal justice system were two pronged. The primary program is prevention. This program holds the potential to safeguard schoolchildren who are yet to succumb to the pressures and circumstances around ...

Abstract

Public and private schools, colleges and universities are increasingly spending much resources implementing technology for use in the teaching and learning processes in their institutions. Indeed, the proliferation of technology in the daily lives of people is spurring increased adoption of education technologies in these institutions.

Introduction

Making sweeping social changes in any educational system is a hard and often-times very long process. The changes are made even harder when they are indirect, and not necessarily institutional. The way students are taught and awarded for achievement has evolved over time in order to create a more balanced structure for them. Yet, even with these changes, bullying still occurs at all grade levels in primary school. There are multiple ideas on how legislatures can handle this issue, by introducing bills that incentivizes anti-bullying programs, by requiring schools to have specific programs, by ensuring that bullying can be ...
