The requirement that all children be educated in the “least restrictive environment” gradually allowed many students with disabilities to be educated alongside their peers without disabilities and today a majority of students with disabilities spend more than 80% of their school days in regular classroom settings. keywords: children; classroom; deficit; disabilities; disability; education; inclusion; learning; new; perspective; school; schooling; settings; students cache: ger-10.pdf plain text: ger-10.txt item: #2 of 348 id: ger-101 author: Wills, Abigail R.; Reuter, Kim E.; Gudiel, Arleen A.; Hessert, Bryan P.; Sewall, Brent J. title: Barriers to student success in Madagascar date: 2014 words: 11262 flesch: 49 summary: For instance: (1) in 2009, over one fifth of primary school students repeated grades, and only about one third (35.38 percent of females and 33.80 percent of males) persisted to the final grade (World Bank, 2012; UNDP, 2013); (2) only 64 percent of the population aged 15 and up is considered literate (UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2009); (3) students have persistently low test scores (Glewwe & Maiga, 2011); (4) many students do not pass key exams and therefore do not matriculate into secondary school, especially in rural locations (Glick et al., 2005); and, (5) only 45.8 percent of the population are satisfied with education quality in Madagascar (UNDP, 2013). Additionally, primary school students in urban areas were more likely to be taught the sciences in French; 28 percent of primary school teachers in urban areas (Antsiranana and Ambilobe) reported French as the only language of instruction for the sciences. keywords: countries; education; french; glewwe; language; madagascar; percent; primary; review; rural; school; science; students; teachers; test; university cache: ger-101.pdf plain text: ger-101.txt item: #3 of 348 id: ger-102 author: Romano, Vincent Anthony title: Secondary Teachers' and Their Supervisors' Perceptions of Current and Desired Observation Practices date: 2014 words: 5505 flesch: 50 summary: Keywords classroom observation, teacher observation, supervision practices, instructional improvement, evaluation of teaching, professional trust, reflective thinking Introduction A wide body of research confirms that the single most important factor to improving student achievement is the quality of the teacher that stands before them each day.

In general, studies have shown that child tutors use more demonstrations and direct models, and provide a greater quantity of assistance that, in some cases, can lead the young children to carry out the task for themselves; the adults, however, use more directives and, in general, tend to substitute the most complex information (Cazden, 1988). keywords: activities; activity; analysis; aprendiz; argentina; children; interactions; learning; literacy; moves; program; reading; research; rosemberg; sessions; situations; tutee; tutor; tutoring; year cache: ger-11.pdf plain text: ger-11.txt item: #8 of 348 id: ger-112 author: McEachron, Gail; Bhatti, Ghazala title: Teaching English as an Additional Language In The Global Classroom: A Transnational Study In The United States and United Kingdom date: 2015 words: 13110 flesch: 47 summary: UK student researchers BC and AL were surprised that the US teachers did not correct students’ pronunciation errors.

Kent Rasmussen By Eric Martone The years of 2014 to 2018 mark the 100th anniversary of World War I. While often overshadowed in history courses by World War II, the war concluded an era and is often used as a benchmark to signal the end of the chain of events initiated by the French Revolution and the beginning of the contemporary era, since it set up many of the conflicts and events that characterized the later twentieth century.1 Several films, publications, and teaching resources have been released to coincide with and commemorate World War I’s centennial, including World War I for Kids.2 Marketed toward students ages 9 to 12 (grade levels 4 and up), the book is useful for educators seeking a supplemental source for teaching upper elementary- and lower secondary-level students about this seminal event in world history.

The few existing longitudinal studies show that higher preschool quality is associated with better academic (including mathematics) outcomes at age 8 (Lehrl et al.; 2016; Hill, Gormley, & Adelstein, 2015), age 11 (Sammons et al., 2008), age 12 (Lehrl et al., 2016), age 15/16 (Sylva et al., 2014; Vandell et al., 2010), and age 18 (Vandell et al., 2016). keywords: age; childhood; children; competencies; development; education; effects; group; intervention; kidz; learning; model; outcomes; preschool; quality; research; skills; study cache: ger-342.pdf plain text: ger-342.txt item: #129 of 348 id: ger-345 author: Elliott, Dawn Richards title: Bye-Bye Teacher-Scholar, Hello Teacher-Scholar ?

As we were able to see, some of the American Herbartians did indeed take an interest (notably the McMurrys), and their explorations deserve more attention; 2) van Manen is incorrect in stating that Herbart speaks of tact as that which manifests itself in instant judgements and quick decisions in everyday life – Herbart clearly and deliberately speaks of tact as that mediator between theory and practice, which therefore plays a role only for the theorist who practices his theory (so, not everyone shows the tact Herbart is speaking of, and for those few people it is relevant not in everyday life but only in those activities that attempt to follow a theory); 3) van Manen is too quick in interpreting the German Gefühl (unhelpfully translated here as feeling or sensitivity) as some kind of emotional reaction to a situation, whereas for Herbart the emphasis lies on the unconsciousness of the reasons for the action (which means they still result from some sort of intellectual activity without this being a conscious series of acts of reflection); 4) van Manen refers to tact as somewhat mechanistic without giving reasons for this kind of evaluation, while for Herbart, as well as for Ziller, tact is a capacity to act according to reasons and principles without being able to recall the reasons in every given moment (which does make tact not mechanistic – at least not more than reasoning itself may be called mechanistic as it invites us to act constantly according to rules and principles (i.e. theories); 5) van Manen proposes that tact should not help “converting theory into practice”, but should support the educator in overcoming the “separation of theory from practice” – shifting here from an interpretative framework (in which notions are used to interpret reality, and in which, therefore, educational theory is used to interpret a given situation as an educational situation in the first place, and in which the main question is whether or not the interpretation of a situation, i.e. the application of notions to world, is appropriate or successful) to a more phenomenological framework (in which apparently the situation reveals itself somehow to the observer or participant without the additional act of interpreting – interestingly a position that comes close to what Herbart describes in his explorations of education as the aesthetic representation of the world); and 6) van Manen arrives consequently at a point where he re- interprets Pedagogical Tact not as a mediator between theory and practice – the systematic problem that Herbart tried to solve –, but as an educator’s state of mind in which the situation, Pedagogies in Dissonance 125 i.e., the student, can unveil itself in a way that allows the educator to react “thoughtfully” to the situation, whereby this now has little to do with thoughts but more with an emotional sensitivity that is able to “feel” the student. keywords: education; herbart; kant; manen; notion; pedagogy; practice; problem; situation; tact; theory cache: ger-623.pdf plain text: ger-623.txt item: #292 of 348 id: ger-624 author: Westberg, Johannes title: Neither compulsory nor public or national?
