...The structural-functional perspective is the one that views society as having many parts which are all necessary for its well being .for this group of people education has a number of important aspects. Firstly the school system assists in passing skills to people. Students learn a lot of skills. For example they learn some technical skills such as carpentry, metal work or driving. Other skills that are transmitted include ability to communicate, ability to maintain personal integrity when faced by pressure. Knowledge is also passed on through the education system. For example how people can maintain their health status by having balanced meals or bathing and the disposal of waste matter. The culture and values of a society are passed on through the education system. Some values are passed through political ideologies and history as taught in school. For example the American educational system teaches that people must maintain their liberties. Day to day skills and folkways are passed on, for example in my country we are taught to say thank you to someone while clapping hands. Valuable practices, norms, values, rituals and symbols are transmitted through the education system, which assists to create a united society that has a lot to share. On the other hand the conflict theory has its own outlook on the role of education in the society.

What is this Adversity Quotient really is? What is the reason why we must study this? How will this kind of research help the teachers in terms of the adversity that they have? How relevant it is to know the Adversity Quotient? And, how will it help them in their field of work?

...In the present age, let the students evaluate their teachers has been widely used in the education sector. The students can judge their teachers whether are good or not. Even when the students are not satisfied with their teachers, they can vote to change the teachers. But, whether the students should evaluate their teachers has sparked spirited debate. Some people assert that students should evaluate their teachers, while many others argue that students should not do that. Then this easy will discuss both opinions in this debate. People who think the students should evaluate their teachers argue that asking the students to evaluate their teachers can benefit for both the teachers and students, there are several benefits for the teachers. Firstly, the evaluation can contribute to helping them improve themselves in their teaching. Through the students’ evaluation, the teachers can recognize the weakness and strength in their working. Research indicates that students are the most qualified sources to report on the extent to which the learning experience was productive, information, satisfying or worthwhile (Theall and Franklin, 2001). Therefore, the evaluation from the students plays an critical role in improving the teachers’ effectiveness. Moreover, the students rating of particular teachers and subjects can be used by other students to select courses and teachers, and can increase the chance that excellence in teaching will be identified and rewarded (Aleamoni, 1981).

Nursing has many great aspects such as, job security and versatility- you can change jobs but remain in the same career field.

For example, some people want to be to go on a further study after they graduate from the college; some people hope to find a good job after their studying in the college and also some people wish to exchange their present situation through studying in the college. In my opinion, no matter what reason people study in the college for, studying in the college is just a preparation for their future’ life. First of all, students can learn new knowledge and experiences from the studying in the college. There are many teachers, professors with abundant teaching experience who teach students lots of new knowledge and help them to solve the problems in their study. With their help, student can learn a lot of useful basic and professional knowledge which is very helpful for their future’ work. and study. After they finish their study in the college, students go to work in the society and contribute to the different fields. Secondly, students can learn how to arrange their own time reasonably. Before their studying in college, their life often arranged by their parents and their study often arranged by their teachers. It is very different for them to live and study in college, because students studying in college have to arrange their life and study by themselves. They have right to arrange their part time, such as when to...

A big one being not to plagiarize and all other schools enforce this well as well. University of Phoenix is very big on Choices, Ethics and Character. Every school I have attended has about the same rules. UOP enforces Charter and Value more than other schools do. In addition, I think it’s a great idea that schools enforce being a good person and making the right more.

... TEACHER The importance of research for education The Importance of Conducting Research in Educational Setting Human beings conduct research every day. They do so in many different ways and in many different settings. One important area is education. Conducting research in an educational setting should be an important aspect of every educator’s professional life. Best and Kahn (1993) describe research as ------------------------------------------------- “The systematic and objective analysis and recording of controlled observations that may lead to the development of generalizations, principles, or theories, resulting in prediction and possibly ultimate control of events” Education in a research setting is done to improve school practices and at the same time to improve those individuals who strive to improve those practices (Best & Kahn, 1993). ------------------------------------------------- The importance of impartial research to improve education standards and the quality of teaching. I think research is an important component of education studies and teacher development Research is not always a concept that practitioners, managers and policy makers respect. Too often it is seen as an academic activity conducted by others – to the profession, not with the profession. But I believe it should be respected. In fact I’d say education professionals are always learning, finding out things, analyzing information, adapting...

...Such a sea change can be witnessed in the attitudes of people that, it is very obvious in almost every sphere of human existence. Children have been studying in schools and colleges for so many decades, and there has always been an assortment of children of all hues and mental calibers. The fact that some children pick up fast, some slow and some do not at all. This has been true always and is also a fact today and will always be so. However, though the basics of students have remained the same, attitudes have had an abysmal plunge into a sort of near madness. Given the hypothesis that, there always were weak children and brilliant children the system of giving and taking tuitions has taken up to new dimensions to an all time high. There was a time when those children who were weak were the only ones who took extra tuitions so that they could compete with their more brilliant colleagues. This was also not a thing to be proud of that, the child is taking tuition because it would clearly imply that the child was weak in studies. The parents and also their wards felt a little ashamed that they had to resort to extra tuition. This indicated that the student required an extra dose of teaching to cope with the syllabus. Moreover, the teachers of the days gone by, took the trouble of finishing the syllabus in class so that all could benefit. Then, only the weak who required personal attention would take to tuitions. This was the picture as it existed a few decades back...

The difference between Western and Eastern education - Education system in need of change? 林怡廷 (Joyce Lin) 三年十八班 台北市立育成高級中學 1 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com The difference between Western and Eastern education. I. Introduction: People tend to think that Westerners are more assertive and creative, while Easterners are more conservative and reserved. So what makes all these difference? I would suggest it is the result of the different education systems. Having studied under both foreign and local teachers, I discovered that their approaches to teaching are fundamentally different. In this essay, I would like to examine and evaluate these differences. This is vitally important as it influences our choices and responses in life beyond school. And will finally determine our values, the quality of our lives and the satisfaction we derive from life. II. Thesis: A. Teacher-centered and student-centered I would say that the prime difference between the two education systems is that one uses teacher-centered classes, and the other uses student-centered classes. In the Eastern education system, the teacher is the only authority; his or her words are not to be questioned. Students are not expected to speak up in class or respond to the questions that the teacher asks. Therefore, most of the questions are rather rhetorical. Questions are brought up for the teachers to answer. Thus, there is...

...Active learning is learning which engages and challenges students thinking using real-life and imaginary situations. Students are encouraged for example through the method of pair work to develop their own thoughts and ideas, to resolve problems by themselves, and to talk to and listen to their peers improving on their listening skills. (Chickering and Gamson1987), suggests that students must do more than just listen. ‘They must read, write, discuss, or be engaged in solving problems. Most important, to be actively involved, students must engage in such higher-order thinking tasks as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Within this context, it is proposed that strategies promoting active learning be defined as instructional activities involving students in doing things and thinking about what they are doing’.Students and their learning needs are at the center of active learning which makes it very effective when introducing this pedagogical approach in any lesson. Some active-learning techniques are easier to use in your class and some are harder when it comes to teaching. Teaching methods are constantly changing with teacher and school introducing new pedagogical approaches to teaching, but time and time again active learning producing a much higher sense of achievement and accomplishment in comparison to the old didactic methods of route learning in school. Teaching is becoming more practical nowadays where students are becoming actively more and more involved in...

...Carper, B. (2013). Fundamental patterns of knowing in nursing. In W. Cody (Ed), Philosophical and theoretical perspectives for advanced nursing practice (pp. 23-33). Burlington, MA: Jones & Barlett Learning. The author identifies the structure of knowledge and the fundamental patterns of knowing in nursing. It is in understanding these patterns that is essential for the teaching and learning of nursing. She describes what kinds of knowledge are held to be of the most value in the discipline of nursing. The four fundamental patterns of knowing she describes are: (1) empirics, the science of nursing, (2) esthetics, the art of nursing, (3) the component of personal knowledge in nursing, and (4) ethics, the component of moral knowledge. Understanding each of these patterns makes it possible for increased awareness of the complexity and diversity of nursing knowledge. She then goes on to say that each pattern may be necessary to achieve mastery in nursing but none of them alone should be considered sufficient. The patterns all work together, but one needs to understand each component to understand the overall concept. She then identifies three major significances to the discipline of nursing in distinguishing patterns of knowing, (1) the conclusions of the discipline conceived as the subject matter cannot be taught or learned without reference to the context of the structure; (2) each of the patterns represents one way of approaching the problems and questions of the...
