Introduction

Cross-cultural decision making skills have been recognized to be increasingly vital to military and defense operations (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). The day-to-day operations of international military forces, in their interaction with different cultures as they work overseas, require intercultural competence to make decisions that are both appropriate and culturally sensitive (Johnson & Friedland, 2009). Cross cultural competency (3C) is accomplished through three unique steps: Cultural self-awareness, suspension of judgments and biases, and the development of skills that fit within domains of a new culture (Selmeski, 2009). Already, educational measures are being implemented by military colleges to promote 3C in military ...

The Relationship between Curriculum and Instruction

A common misconception is that the curriculum dictates exactly what and when a child is taught. In reality, and in more recent revisions of the curriculum, it actually shapes and influences what a child must learn in order to help them become a functioning member of society. For many, the curriculum is merely a selection of standards by which we must measure our nation’s children’s progress – instruction is the methods implemented to carry out those lessons. Therefore, the relationship between curriculum and instruction must be close but still kept as fluid as possible. It is clear that these two aspects of ...

Literacy development in young children has been viewed as a complex and dynamic process that requires input from all concerned stakeholders so as to ensure that a child acquires the right skills. Literacy development is therefore concerned about issues such as listening, reading, speaking, writing and even viewing, and ...

Introduction

Many academic professionals are of the mindset that developing an effective lesson plan that is aligned with established state learning standards represents the most difficult element of teaching. There are many others, however, that find the element that is most difficult to be the developing of effective measurements that can be used to assess student knowledge of the material being covered in the unit. The establishment of methods to measure and assess taught material can be a very sesquipedalian process that is designed to ensure that the knowledge the students gain is directly in-line with the academic learning standards of ...

Heath offers insights for use in the dissertation study for investigating any difficulties in the area of Americans learning Arabic. This study specifically addresses the learner and his/her creativity in Arabic communicative competence as it applies toward competently completing both the DLI course and the OPI (Heath, 1987).

Alptekin (2002) discusses the notion of communicative competence that suggests that native-speaker competence is the metric by which communicative competence is decided. Alptekin argues that this particular norm creates an unrealistic and utopian model for language learning that makes it impossible for SLA to be considered complete or sufficient.

Literature Review on Discovery Based Learning and Student Centred Learning with a Focus in Mathematics at a High School Level

Abstract Mathematics is a logical form of reasoning which involves making of judgments and justifying conclusions. Mathematical behaviour therefore is expressed when we can describe and recognise patterns, manipulate, represent and reflect on ideas while solving problems through the invention of procedures (Battista, 1999). Mathematics, as a subject has never been mentioned as one of the easier subjects – if anything, it is to the contrary as students are more prone to fail mathematics than many other subjects. Many critics have blamed the methods applied in the teaching of mathematics as the reason behind unsatisfactory performance. This essay will look into ...

The English only debate is on the legislation, primarily state, that makes the English the only standard of instruction in learning institutions in those states. These legislations have had an impact in the learning environment since the population of students with limited English proficiency as the number of immigrants to the United States increases.

Education has dependably been underweight to center its vitality and assets on closures that are not instructive. In the period of industrialized advanced education, then again, the parochial soul of instrumentalism has tightened its hold, securing phenomenal influence. Supporters of utilitarian Education once perceived or paid lip administration to the imperativeness of liberal instruction. No more. Today the common utilitarian contentions about tackling the force of instruction to the exigencies of monetary development or the work business are strengthened by the ultra-faddish consumerist ethos clearing through Education.

The legitimization for a liberal instruction is not focused around claims that a ...
