Buckley System is a whole that functions as a whole by virtue of interdependence of its parts. 3. H. Kerzner System is a group of components consisting of humans and or non-human who organized and arranged so that the components can act as a unity in achieving its objectives, common goals or outcomes. This meaning implies the importance of aspects arrangement and organizing the components of a system to reach the common goal, because if there is no proper coordination and synchronization, then the activities of each component, sub–system, or areas in an organization will be less support each other. Furthermore, understanding of system is in fact also used to show a lot of things like: a system that is used to indicate a set and the set of objects that are merged or combined by a mutual connection form or interdependence in regularly; a set of parts that combined naturally or by human resources to become an integrated unity. In general, within the scope of the understanding of system...

...Between Curriculum and Instruction EDU 765: Seminar in Curriculum Problems July 10, 2009 Definition of Curriculum The term curriculum has been used by many involve in the field of education for a very long period of time. Like any other term with ambiguity, a number of authorities have come up with various definitions. Although the wording of the definitions may be different, there are certain issues about curriculum that stand out whichever way one defines it. Curriculum has been defined as that which schools teach. This could be in terms of individual subjects, or the content of those subjects. Curriculum also involves the teaching and learning programs which are sustained. It is not just simply the materials to be taught, or the number of courses taught in an institution. Curriculum also implies certain achievable performance goals in a field of study. It also involves activities that the school controls either in or outside the school itself. These could be activities such as games and sports, guiding and counseling sessions, relationships between students and teachers, and other similar programs. The chain of experiences a learner goes through also constitute curriculum. Arising from the various perspectives of curriculum, one could safely define curriculum as a program, activities and content an institution has put in place for purposes of achieving certain goals (Oliva, 2008). I believe that after the curriculum, comes instruction. Individuals tend to...

...This scientific approach to solving everyday problems needs to be encouraged and developed in a formal educational setting where teachers continuously change and organize curriculum and instruction to meet the needs of their children (Poon, Tan & Tan, 2009). The best environment that fosters and develops structured scientific analytical thinking is the school, where the child spends the major section of his/her day when he/she is away from home. It is within the school environment that formal learning takes place. Acceptable attitudes and values which the child inculcates are transmitted by the teacher who is specifically trained to teach at given levels. The training of the teacher in the use of the most effective methods of teaching is therefore the first and foremost important goal preceding the child’s education, especially since it has been established that teachers go on to teach science in the same way that they have been taught (Marshall & Dorward, 2000). Upon investigation, in private as well as public schools, we have been privy to two familiar methods of teaching science in the elementary and kindergarten classrooms. The two common methods are the inquiry and the direct instruction methods of teaching. The inquiry method of teaching is practiced mainly by a lot of public school teachers in the kindergarten classes. The teachers follow the general principle of providing materials and setting the environment for the children to experiment, discover, ask questions...

Teachers in the U.S. have more diversified class groups than ever before and it is a challenge to reach out to every entity (Fast Facts).Because no two students learn the same, Differentiated Instruction can be and should be relevant, complex, and rigorous. Therefore, the questions asked in instruction should be a challenge for students, require students to think on their own, and should focus on the how the students can apply it on a day to day basis.

...comprehension among students in today’s society is of high importance. The ability to be college ready in reading and writing categories is a need that many students struggle with at the college level. This paper will focus on an action plan to alleviate those needs and allow for students to be better prepared for future challenges in reading and writing that await them. This paper will address deficiencies, challenges, and strategies to improve the literacy program at Anywhere ISD in Anywhere, Texas. Reading Program Action Plan A reading program plan should be determined by meeting the needs of the students it plans to serve (Ediger, 2010). In determining an action plan for meeting the students of my school there are several key factors I have to evaluate. School funding issues are prevalent in every state in America and in order for this to be effective funding issues need to be established. For the sake of argument this reading program action plan is built on the assumption that funding is not an issue but student success is of more importance. This action plan will focus on 8th grade students at Anywhere ISD in Anywhere, Texas. Based upon data, two thirds of 8th graders read below grade level (Martello, Martello, Modder man, Peterson, & Pan, 2013). Gunning (2013) suggests ten principles in implementing a successful reading program for all students to be successful. In order for these principles to be effective proper monitoring of all students in the reading program...

...Differentiated instruction means that you adapt learning to each of the children’s needs. Everyone learns differently whether its audio, visual, or kinesthetic. As the teacher, it is important to use different methods when presenting new information, reviewing and practicing, and testing the student’s knowledge. Instruction can be done differently in elementary schools versus high schools. Looking back at my elementary school experience I can remember different techniques being used to help students learn. One example of this would be gathering the class and talking about the lesson as one big group then sending the students to their desk to work on a worksheet that related to that discussion. Another way to incorporate differentiated instruction...

...examples of learning activities that use authentic learning experiences. Authentic learning aligns well with the needs of today’s participatory learners. The challenge is to channel their online and collaborative abilities and interests into academic pursuits, helping them develop the higher-order thinking skills they may not acquire on their own. Instructors are encouraged to design activities for their students that match as nearly as possible the real-world tasks of professionals in the field. The challenges students are asked to undertake should be complex, ambiguous, and multifaceted in nature, requiring sustained investigation. Reflection, self-assessment, and performance review are fully integrated into the exercise. The real-world challenge comes with its own criteria for success. Students are held accountable for achieving the milestones that practitioners would have to meet under genuine working conditions. Teamwork is as essential to the authentic learning experience as it is likely to be in modern workplace settings. Groups of students have to draw on multiple sources and negotiate among multiple perspectives—including those of the stakeholders (business partners, clients, customers, citizens) who will be impacted by their performance. An authentic learning exercise highlights a student’s capacity to affect the world beyond the classroom and to make contributions that are valued by peers, mentors, and prospective employers. An authentic learning activity is designed to...

For example, if you want the child to put all their books, their pencil case, and their lunch box back into their bag, try giving them one instruction at a time – “put your books in your bag please”. Wait until this task is completed and then give the next instruction, etc. If you give all three instructions at the one time the chances are the child will only hear the last instruction and this could lead to everyone ending up frustrated.

...Explain how understanding specific English language learners' needs guided the choice of instructional strategies to support the content and language learning. It is essential to understand English language learners’ needs because ELL students face the combined challenge of learning all the academic content as other students, while also learning the language of instruction. With the rapid growth in the size of the ELL student population in the U.S., teachers who are effective recognizes ELL students unique academic needs, unique background experience, culture, language, personality, interests and attitudes toward learning for the purpose to adjust, or differentiate, their instruction to meet students’ needs. Explain how the differentiation of tasks or activities supported the English language learners' content learning and language development. Differentiating tasks or activities enables and supports ELL students in many ways. Using differentiated teaching strategies gives ELL students the leverage that is needed to be successful. In the case of the aspects of quantity and quality for example, the same reading task can be assigned to the whole class, but students do not have to do the same number of questions or exercises. The ELL students are given a choice and can choose to do one or more tasks; it is important for them to progress at their own pace and interest. Explain how the differentiation of assessments allowed the English language learners to demonstrate...

...the variation that existed in student learning outcomes. He recognized that while Figure 1ILLUSTRATION BY GGS INFORMATION SERVICES. CENGAGE LEARNING, GALE. students vary widely in their learning rates, virtually all learn well when provided with the necessary time and appropriate learning conditions. If teachers could provide the time and more appropriate conditions, Bloom reasoned that nearly all students could reach a high level of learning. To determine how this might be practically achieved, Bloom first considered how teaching and learning take place in typical group-based classrooms. He observed that most teachers begin by dividing the concepts and skills that they want students to learn into smaller learning units. Following instruction on the unit, teachers administer an assessment to determine how well students have learned those concepts and skills. Based on the assessment results, students are sorted, ranked, and assigned grades. The assessment...

...The Mother Tongue The use of mother tongue as a medium of instruction at the primary level improves the learning ability and school performance of students because it facilitates easier and faster comprehension, encourages better interaction and class participation and strengthens self-concept and identity. The mother tongue is a language that a person has learned from birth or is most familiar with (Witold, 2005). Several studies have confirmed that using it as a form of instruction at the primary level helps the students cope well with their school lessons and activities. It provides the students with a wider range of vocabulary which is a critical tool in learning various subjects. It enables them to easily and clearly grab the course content because they do not have to decipher an unfamiliar language in the first place. At the same time, using a familiar language makes conversation between students and teachers more spontaneous. Learning the mother tongue also reinforce among the children their own culture and traditions. In response to the growing need for providing schoolchildren in all areas of society a medium of instruction that will better equip them in acquiring knowledge, the mother tongue education is currently being adapted in several countries. Research studies suggested that students under the mother tongue education projects had better grades or higher academic performance. Being better students, they contribute significantly in uplifting the sector of...
