...are opposite, such as white is opposite with black, and the chaos is opposite with quiet. Recently I read an article called the daily grind: lessons in the hidden curriculum. This is an article describing behaviors and appearance of boys and girls in the class and after class. There are a lot of oppositions in this article and they are wonderful to compare with. In the following pages I am going to talk about the three oppositions in this article. They are the appearances and behaviors of boys and girls before and in class starting. Secondly the seats that girls and boys choose to sit. Finally the performances boys and girls perform in the class. To begin with, the appearances and the behavior girls and boys perform before class and in the class. Amy Wilkinson is a bold and brassy girl, and she is also strong willed. According to the book “she is fuller-figured than she would like to be, wide-hipped and heavy-limbed with curly blond hair, cornflower-blue eyes, and a sharply upturned nose. With the help of her mother, who is a drama coach, she has become the school’s star actress: last year she played Eliza in Weston’s production of My Fair Lady.” from this description, I can see that Amy is a really outgoing girl in front of her friends, because of two reasons. One is she is good looking, and from the hidden curriculum of school, which good looking girls are popular in school. Second is she loves drama and entertain people. Thus in my opinion she must be outgoing and popular...

...Morgan Johnson (19407679) NS 1110 Friday Research Paper Lab 10 Morgan Johnson (19407679) NS 1110 Friday Research Paper Lab 10 The topic I chose for my research project is setting up a business on the Darknet. I think it would be more accurate to say that the topic chose me. I was originally browsing the internet on the various subjects presented to us in the assignment handout and had started reading a little about ecommerce when this topic jumped out at me. As I started looking into the other topics on the sheet, I couldn’t get the information about the Darknet world out of my mind. I think I have a bit of a fascination with the outer edges of society and that includes cyber-society. The secretive world of the Darknet is interesting in itself but setting up an ebusiness that may or may not provide illegal goods and services requires such an intricate system of safeguards that, for someone new to the tech world like myself, it is like opening the door to a bizarre and complicated dimension. Even after spending some time researching the subject, it would take hours more and I still would have barely explored the world of the cyber underbelly. The first thing a person needs to do when setting up a potentially questionable business, is to research various countries legal relationship with the country you’re based in. For the sake of this paper, we will assume we live in the U.S. Find out which have or don’t have Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties. When you figure...

...INTERVIEW Interview is a conversation led, which involved at least two people, the interviewer and the respondent. This is not a conversation, but the conversation through which the investigator wants to obtain from the respondent data set to study. Therefore, sociologists rightly point to the fact that it is a specific method of testing, which is assumed to work closely with each investigator and the respondent. The interview is a process in which the investigator is trying to influence the study posed questions and get him to give a speech on the subject of research. It is one of the methods, which allows parallel use of another-namely observation. TYPES OF INTERVIEW: Due to the form of expression of the respondents and the way the interview, and also because of the behavior of the investigator and the number of participants, which are used in the social sciences. We can therefore distinguish the following interviews: oral and written, categorized and Uncategorized, overt and covert, individual and collective, and panels. WRITTEN AND ORAL INTERVIEW: In addition to the interviews conducted in a classical sense, ie, by speaking to the investigator of one or more speakers, there are also interviews in which questions are asked in writing (eg, survey) and the answers are given in writing, directly to the questions listed in the questionnaire, or in another manner, for example, for any given researching cards.

...than just getting money. I also agree that comparing college to a can opener is almost idiotic, especially if you were to dig deeper and see that there’s more to a college education than meets the eye, which cannot be said about a can opener. While a college education helps in getting a job, it also goes beyond and above in furthering our experience and knowledge of the world around us. I wholly agree with the author of the article, clearly stating that college does not only affect our working lives, but every single aspect of our life, as we gain the skills to appreciate the little things more. We see things that other people can’t. That is truly invaluable to me, having the knowledge to look past the surface meaning and understand the hidden messages threaded throughout stories and movies. A college education is not a can opener. A college education is the stepping-stone through a variety of opportunities, like our author had stated multiple times. With college there’s obvious advances in science and technology, and basically even the future of our country. Employers trust us more as the college experience builds our character and outlook on certain things. I find this article magnificent, as it justifies my wants to pursue a college education even...

...DEFINING CURRICULUM AND THE APPROACHES QUESTION 1 The word "curriculum" has been and still is used to convey many different ideas and to signify many different things. The word's intended meaning actually differs depending on the speakers and writers and across place and time. The society, political situations, technological advancements, and philosophy not only influence today's curriculum, but they influence each other as well. Each affects and is also effected by one or more of the other therefore because of this, the concept of curriculum is sometimes characterized as fragmentary, elusive and confusing. However, the numerous definitions indicate change that brings about diverse interpretations of what curriculum is all about. The definitions are influenced by modes of thoughts, pedagogies and political as well as cultural experiences. According to Elliot Eisner (1985) defined curriculum as a series of planned events that are intended to have educational consequences for one or more learners of which I do agree with his statement because as an educator because we cannot cover the whole syllabus so we plan ahead on what we are going to cover and what not to cover which leads to us being in control of all the events in the learning process for one or more of our learners. Fraser (1993) views curriculum with a much wider interpretation as the interrelated totality of aims, learning content, evaluation procedures and teacher-learning activities, opportunities and experiences...

...CURRICULUM Introduction As part of transforming South Africa, the educational landscape has undergone dramatic changes where ultimately teachers have to decide to either implement a curriculum as mandated or to adapt the curriculum to take into account their particular context. Teacher’s in South Africa battle on a daily basis with the effects of teaching large number of learners in an under-resourced context. Teachers are expected to adapt to those changes and such changes impact heavily on the roles of teachers in the classroom. They must find a way to facilitate teaching, learning and assessment despite difficult conditions. The gap between curriculum as intention and curriculum as reality confronts teachers regularly. The aim of this essay will address the narrow and broad definitions of the concept curriculum, as well as the official, explicit, implicit, covert and hidden curriculum as they are viewed by different authors. Defining Curriculum Two views on curriculum: Narrow and Broad Many educationists argue that awareness of different interpretations is important in developing a Good understanding of what curriculum is (Booyse & Du plesis, 2014: 4). However they make a point that different approaches, either as a blue print or adaption approach, may be appropriate for different situations. Take a closer look at the various interpretations: Eisner (1985) defines curriculum as a series of planned events that are intended to have educational consequences...

... The first book that I read this summer was Escape From Camp 14, by Blaine Harden. The book retells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk’s escape from Camp 14. Camp 14 is a prison for the political enemies in North Korea, and in the camp Shin was forced to survive torture, starvation, malnutrition, and grueling hours of manual labor since he was a child. In a constant battle zone, Shin fought for food and was brainwashed by the camp into believing nothing existed beyond the fences he was trapped in. On January 2, 2005 Shin escaped from the North Korean political camp and was able to see beyond the fences when he was 23 years old. Shin then dedicated his life to sharing his story and is the only person to ever escape any of the North Korean political prison camps. The main impact of Shin’s story in Camp 14 is the psychological toll the camp took on him. At the beginning of the book, Shin describes that he thought of his mother as competition for survival (77), and this led Shin to do things like steal her lunches. The need for survival in the camp forced Shin to not have typical relationships with his friends and family, and the psychological toll of the camp returned prisoners to their basic human urges and instincts. This idea is similar to what happened to the boys in the Lord of the Flies when they began to turn against each other and view each other as a means for survival instead of friends. Another instance of the psychological toll the camp had on Shin was when Shin recalled in...

...education that students are introduced to, is steadily paving way to a whole new type of education with a special focus to incorporate three major genres of education: reasoning, psychomotor and emotional learning. Education is a pretty broad concept that surpasses the four walls of a classroom. The core aim of education is to fosterall round development of a child. All round development essentially means intellectual, physical, moral, sensible and social development. All round development can be achieved only through education. Education plays a fundamental role in the making of a man and his development as a culturally well developed social animal. To fulfil these objectives, there is a prime need of striking a balance between syllabus, curriculum, books and also co-curricular activities beyond that. Co-Curricular activities are those which are undertaken side by side with the curricular activities. A co-curricular activity essentially takes place outside a typical pen and pencil classroom experience. It gives the students an opportunity to develop particular skills and exhibit their non-academic abilities. These activities might be compulsory, such as music, art or drama classes that take place during the day. Others generally are voluntary, such as participating in school sports team, school debating team or student newsletters. In either case, participation can assist students in more than one ways. They actually complement the curricular activities and groom the students...

...The current “high quality, low equity” (Argy, 2007, p. 1) outcomes that present within our nation do little to establish a noteworthy character for a country that desires to build equal educational opportunities for all young Australians (Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACRA], 2011). Boston (2002, p.1) states, “Education is the foundation upon which the character of a nation is built”. The consistent underperformance in education of students from low socio-economic environments, therefore, is a matter of great concern. When young people enter and exit the school setting without being given opportunities to advance to a greater level of socio-economic status, our system has failed to deliver its promise of a programme “that supports 21st century learning in all Australian schools” (ACARA, 2009, p. 1). Educational design must respond to the impact of class in Australia. Curriculum, pedagogy and assessment may all be tailored to respond to and reduce the impact of low socio-economic status on academic achievement. The 1966 release of Coleman’s Equality of Educational Opportunity Study clearly showed that a child’s socio-economic background has a dramatic impact on academic achievement. Coleman (1966) found that the single most significant determinant in educational success was the child’s home life, be that influenced by upper or lower class origins. More recent research by Berends, Lara-Cinisomo, Lucas, Maggio, Pebley, and Vaiana (2004) also concluded...

...English literary club. Definition and concepts of co-curricular activities: According to Mohamad (2011) “co-curricular activities are activities that support students to acquire new knowledge, enhance classroom experience and promote the development of organizational skills” (p.150). Co-curricular activities include uniformed groups, sports, games, club activities, organizing special project, taking leadership training courses, participating in volunteer work and so on. Through various activities, schools play a vital role in strengthening and enhancing the concepts that students learn which ultimately develops the character of the students. As per Sulaiman & Amri (2011) the concepts of co-curriculum are divided into two parts. Firstly, the co-curricular activities should be a part of curriculum in which all students must take part. Mostly based on the nature of the activities, they are carried out, in and out of the classrooms. For example, teachers can conduct fieldtrips where all students can participate. Normally field trips are carried outside the classroom with the intention to let the students explore more about the concepts of the lesson taught. Secondly,...

...Outline the key contrasts between the Marxist and Neo-Marxist view on education (12) As Marxists Bowles and Gintis (1976) believed that through the term ‘Correspondence Principle’ that education corresponds to employment so if you knuckle down and learn at school it will result in better jobs/careers in your lifetime, this gives the workforce structure and organisation. The values of education reflect on the workplace. They also believe that education prepares a workforce through the hidden curriculum. This teaches the working class the values needed within employment and also how to talk and act in a polite manner. A final key function in which they believed in was ‘Meritocracy’. They see it as a myth and in reality they class people’s backgrounds on how well they work because people believe that the education system is meritocratic, it legitimates the system making it seem fair towards others. As a neo Marxist Paul Willis (1977) conducted a study on a group of lads in a midlands comprehensive school in the 1970’s. He believed that counter school culture is opposed to the values in society. Whilst studying the lads he found that they had formed a counter culture which valued traditional working class masculinity, emphasizing toughness and despising weakness. In this counter culture they were sexist so looked down on women and also racist which meant that they looked down on ethnic minorities. Shop floor culture is another key function of Paul Willis’ study; it’s not so different...
