Kumar, Vikram; Meenakshi, R.; Raman, Ramakrishnan (2021). Online Advertising Strategies to Effectively Market a Business School. International Journal of Higher Education, v10 n4 p61-104. Advertising has always played an important role in creating visibility for educational institutions. In today's time, digital marketing is the sought-after mode as there has been a significant shift from offline to online advertising. With the evolving times, flexibility and convenience take significant importance and it is critical for educational institutions to shift gears and adapt to the new formats. In order to stay relevant and have a competitive advantage, digital advertising helps higher educational institutions go that extra mile in engaging with their potential customers. It also helps in building awareness and attract good quality of students. In the world of digital advertising, 'Google Advertisement' is an online advertising platform developed by Google, where advertisers bid to display brief advertisements, service offerings, product listings, or videos to web users. It can place advertisements both in the results of search engines like Google Search and on non-search… [PDF]

Carmo, Mafalda, Ed. (2020). Education and New Developments 2020. Online Submission This book contains the full text of papers and posters presented at the International Conference on Education and New Developments (END 2020), organized by the World Institute for Advanced Research and Science (W.I.A.R.S.), that this year had to be transformed into a fully Virtual Conference as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic. Education, in our contemporary world, is a right since we are born. Every experience has a formative effect on the constitution of the human being, in the way one thinks, feels and acts. One of the most important contributions resides in what and how we learn through the improvement of educational processes, both in formal and informal settings. The International Conference seeks to provide some answers and explore the processes, actions, challenges and outcomes of learning, teaching and human development. The goal is to offer a worldwide connection between teachers, students, researchers and lecturers, from a wide range of academic fields,… [PDF]

Cheng, Philip H. (1975). A Factor Analysis of Peking Opera: Its Functions in Mass Communications. The study reported in this paper examined the structure and function of Chinese opera (also known as Peking opera) as an effective communication medium of social control and change in China, a land populated by 800 million people and nourished by a 5,000-year-old civilization. The study followed structural-functional analysis, content analysis, and factor analysis and was mainly based on ten Peking opera plays–five traditional and five revolutionary. Findings of the study indicate that the Chinese Communist revolutionary plays deal mostly with the salvation factor, which advocates the full dedication of the masses to the revolutionary causes; that traditional plays are mostly concerned with the family security factor, which stresses the importance of family love, individual rights, and human feelings; and that the traditional opera functions for social control, while the revolutionary opera works for social change. Appendixes contain data pertaining to the study. (JM)… [PDF]

Kjorholt, Anne Trine (2013). Childhood as Social Investment, Rights and the Valuing of Education. Children & Society, v27 n4 p245-257 Jul. This paper discusses the impact of and close interplay between global discourses on children, notions of (a good) childhood at the national and local levels and childhoods as these are lived and experienced in particular social contexts. Two increasingly powerful global images of children are explored: Children as individual subjects with rights to participation as stated in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and children as human capital and early childhood investment. I argue that the market-oriented politics and "global images" of childhood are connected to particular ideological notions of what it means to be a human being, and an increasing individualization, separating children from an intergenerational social order. The discussion is empirically grounded in case studies in Norway and Ethiopia. The paper highlights the contradictions especially with respect to safeguarding local livelihoods and knowledge suggesting limits to the "sector… [Direct]

Eggen, Renate Banschbach (2022). Indigeneity versus Diversity. Human Rights Education Review, v5 n1 p136-155. The article deals with the representation of the S√°mi in the new national curriculum for primary and lower secondary education in Norway. More precisely, it focuses on a specific formulation in the fourth core element of the curriculum for religious education, in which an awareness of S√°mi perspectives is presented as part of the diversity competence which pupils are supposed to acquire. Based on a critical analysis of governmental documents dealing with education it is argued that the term 'diversity' as it is used in the fourth core element addresses S√°mi perspectives in a way that may induce readers to think of the S√°mi as one of an increasing number of minorities in an originally Norwegian society. This implication, even if unintended, is highly problematic. It can be interpreted as a violation of both ILO 169, Article 31 and CRC, Article 29 (1), especially since the S√°mi are a people indigenous to Norway…. [Direct]

Belov, Dmitry I. (2015). Robust Detection of Examinees with Aberrant Answer Changes. Journal of Educational Measurement, v52 n4 p437-456 Win. The statistical analysis of answer changes (ACs) has uncovered multiple testing irregularities on large-scale assessments and is now routinely performed at testing organizations. However, AC data has an uncertainty caused by technological or human factors. Therefore, existing statistics (e.g., number of wrong-to-right ACs) used to detect examinees with aberrant ACs capitalize on the uncertainty, which may result in a large Type I error. In this article, the information about ACs is used only for the partitioning of administered items into two disjoint subtests: items where ACs did not occur, and items where ACs did occur. A new statistic is based on the difference in performance between these subtests (measured as Kullback-Leibler divergence between corresponding posteriors of latent traits), where, in order to avoid the uncertainty, only final responses are used. One of the subtests can be filtered such that the asymptotic distribution of the statistic is chi-square with one degree… [Direct]

Pate, P. Elizabeth; And Others (1997). Making Integrated Curriculum Work: Teachers, Students, and the Quest for Coherent Curriculum. This book provides a detailed account of a year-long curriculum development project by an interdisciplinary team to create an inclusive, democratic curriculum at a suburban Georgia middle school. The first chapter is an overview of the study and lists the eight components deemed essential to a "coherent" curriculum. A separate chapter, many including illustrations, is devoted to each component. Project goals, the first component, were determined first. Another component, the democratic classroom, includes a discussion of management plans, group processing, grading policy, and group work guidelines. Traditional and alternative assessment models and the curriculum design processes are discussed next. A fifth component is content integration, and modeling as well as integrating content within thematic units, are covered here. The discussion of pedagogy uses a Human and Civil Rights unit to illustrate specific strategies for brainstorming, making connections, story telling,…

Smelker-Cheeseman, Dan (2022). Apprenticeships: A Descriptive Case Study to Investigate Apprenticeships as a Means of Workforce Development through Earn-and-Learn. ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Baylor University. This study explored apprenticeships as a means of workforce development and the creation of new talent pools within manufacturing companies. An apprenticeship is an arrangement between an individual, a company, and in some instances an academic provider to learn a trade or a job through the combination of academics and on-the-job training (OJT). Successful completion of the academic and OJT generally results in the apprentice obtaining an offer of employment with the company that sponsored the apprenticeship in some cases the apprentice may be employed full-time with another employer within the same job field. This descriptive multiple case study sought to understand the process for designing, implementing, and measuring the benefits provided to the apprentice and company by using apprenticeships as a means of workforce development. I utilized a combination of a priori and a posteriori theory that served as a starting place to determine if apprenticeships could be a viable solution… [Direct]

Blanchard, Kate; Peterfeso, Jill; Ricker, Aaron; Yoo, William; Zubko, Katherine C. (2018). The Mock Conference as a Teaching Tool: Role-Play and "Conplay" in the Classroom. Teaching Theology & Religion, v21 n1 p60-72 Jan. In our ostensibly secular age, discussing the real-world contexts and impacts of religious traditions in the classroom can be difficult. Religious traditions may appear at different times to different students as too irrelevant, too personal, or too inflammatory to allow them to engage openly with the materials, the issues, and each other. In this "Design & Analysis" article Aaron Ricker describes an attempt to address this awkward pedagogical situation with an experiment in role-play enacted on the model of a mock conference. This description is followed by four short responses by authors who have experimented with this form of pedagogy themselves. In "Conplay," students dramatize the wildly varying and often conflicting approaches to biblical tradition they have been reading about and discussing in class. They bring the believers, doubters, artists, and critics they have been studying into the room, to interact face-to-face with each other and the class. In… [Direct]

Intercultural Education: Proceedings of the 2nd International Scientific Conference=Obrazovanje za interkulturalizam: Zbornik radova S.2 Medunarodne znanstvene konferencije. Online Submission The democratic changes that occurred in Croatia within last two decades are oriented towards European values and multi-intercultural perspectives. Let us remember that, according to the census from 1991, Croatia was inhabited with people from 27 nations, with Croats being a majority. During the Homeland war, basically a defensive war against the Serbo-Montenegrian forces, and especially after the war, the demographics changed. War consequences were especially severe for the young population. Official data from 1992 show that, out of 496,000 pupils, many were forced to leave their homes. Among registered refugees in Croatia, 20% were preschool children, and 35% were primary and secondary school pupils. In today's Croatia there are many members of other nations, all of whom have their distinctive national, religious and cultural characteristics. According to the aforementioned facts, Croatia has an obligation to develop fruitful relations, based on democratic principles, between major… [PDF]

Kerns, Kathryn A.; Koehn, Amanda J. (2016). The Supervision Partnership as a Phase of Attachment. Journal of Early Adolescence, v36 n7 p961-988 Oct. The supervision partnership in middle childhood was proposed by Waters, Kondo-Ikemura, Posada, and Richters as the last phase of parent-child attachment. The present study elaborates this concept by proposing three components of the supervision partnership: "availability and accessibility," "willingness to communicate," and "mutual recognition of the other's rights." Using data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (n = 1,050), we derived indices of the three components and related them to other attachment assessments and to maternal sensitivity. The three components of the supervision partnership were significantly related to one another, to attachment measured in preschool and adolescence, and to maternal sensitivity measured in middle childhood. The findings lend initial support to the proposal that the supervision partnership may more fully capture the secure base… [Direct]

(2016). New Rules: Policies to Strengthen and Scale the Game Changers. Complete College America Higher education often operates under old rules — rules that continue despite an increasingly diverse student population and improved understanding of human behavior and choice. Under these old rules, fewer than half of students graduate on time, if at all, and troubling equity gaps exist based on income, race, and ethnicity. It is time for new rules — rules designed for big change, not marginal improvement. This resource will help policymakers: (1) Set the conditions for change using money and metrics to improve college outcomes; and (2) Scale and strengthen the Game Changer strategies with tools designed to help policymakers: Listen — Understand the context, know the key facts, and ask the right questions; and Lead — Enact model policies using the detailed policy language, talking points, expected questions, and other advice Complete College America (CCA) provides.

Haya, Ignacio; L√°zaro-Visa, Susana; Rojas, Susana (2016). "My Great Hope in Life Is to Have a House, a Family and a Daughter": Relationships and Sexuality in Intellectually Disabled People. British Journal of Learning Disabilities, v44 n1 p56-62 Mar. This study starts from the premise that we are sexual beings, and therefore, sexuality is part of our lives and defines us as human beings. This is also true with regard to intellectually disabled people. Within the framework of broader qualitative research carried out in Spain, some partial results of an ongoing study aimed at finding out what a group of adults see as important in different areas of their lives are presented here. Through the personal narratives of 16 intellectually disabled people, this paper explores some of their ideas and demands about sexuality and their sexual lives. Most of the people interviewed expressed their desire to have a partner and to live as a couple. There is no doubt that many intellectually disabled people have greater control over their lives and the decisions that affect them, but as they tell us, the presence of old ideas can hinder them from securing their fundamental rights….

L√§tti, Johanna (2017). Individualized Sex Equality in Transforming Finnish Academia. European Educational Research Journal, v16 n2-3 p258-276 May. This article examines the equality agenda in the context of Finnish university reform in the 21st century. In Finland, the academic regime went through an organizational transformation after the Universities Act in 2009. However, little attention has been paid to the questions of sex or equality. Since the policy influences on equality in education and work are increasingly transnational, this article also observes the role of gender mainstreaming in universities' equality agenda. The appearance of sex equality is analysed through a variety of documentary materials. The findings indicate the balance between higher educational demands and tightening requirements on equality promotion. Equality work, as a part of human resources, is seen through legislation and provides common good and market advantages. The aims seek to ensure similar treatment between individuals and case-specific anti-discrimination, separating spheres of academic work and private life. The focus is on subjective… [Direct]

Wahl, Rachel (2019). On the Ethics of Open-Mindedness in the Age of Trump. Educational Theory, v69 n4 p455-472 Aug. Is it always ethical to ask a person to be "open-minded" in volatile political contexts? What might open-mindedness entail and when might such an expectation be harmful? Drawing on observations and interviews related to a controversial dialogue that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia, following the violent Unite the Right rally of August 2017, Rachel Wahl argues, first, that whether we might consider someone "open-minded" has little to do with their participation in processes that formally affirm and even genuinely aim for this virtue. Second, the division between people who view civil dialogue as the key to social progress and people who aver that direct resistance is what is called for is rooted in deeply different conceptions of the social world and what ails the nation. This divide is at once a response to the political moment and to the human condition, as it is a manifestation of an enduring tension between openness and commitment. Third, the disposition… [Direct]

Ahmad, Iftikhar; Pederson, Patricia Velde; Szpara, Michelle Yvonne (2007). Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus: A Banker Who Believes Credit is a Human Right. Social Education, v71 n1 p9-14 Jan-Feb. The article profiles Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank (an independent financial institution in Bangladesh), as well as an economics professor at the University of Chittagong. In his birthplace of Bangladesh, 49.8 percent of people exist below the poverty line, and 73.2 percent of the women are categorized as "unpaid family workers." These individuals may not have the financial resources to adequately care for their children or the ability to contribute to household income and stability. Without adequate funds to meet daily needs, there is no opportunity to invest funds in long-term approaches for creating financial security. Yunus began what would become a worldwide phenomenon known as "micro-credit," lending small amounts of money to the poorest of individuals in order to help them achieve long-term financial security. Yunus sought to liberate these borrowers from "loan-sharks," who charged excessive interest, which kept the… [Direct]

Griffiths, Morwenna (2014). Educational Relationships: Rousseau, Wollstonecraft and Social Justice. Journal of Philosophy of Education, v48 n2 p339-354 May. I consider educational relationships as found in Rousseau's "√âmile" (and elsewhere in his writing) and the critique of his views in Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication of the Rights of Women." Wollstonecraft's critique is a significant one, precisely because of her partial agreement with Rousseau. Like Rousseau, her concern is less to do with particular pedagogical techniques or even approaches, more to do with the full complexity of educational relationships. The educational relationships they consider include those between human beings now and in the future, between teacher and student(s), between students, and between human beings and the rest of the natural world, the more-than-human. Both Rousseau and Wollstonecraft wanted education to produce social justice in the future as well as being a benefit to young people in the present, but while he specified that future, she wanted to create the conditions in which future generations could construct it… [Direct]

Cline, Melinda; Guynes, Carl S.; St. John, Jeremy (2015). Business Administration Students as Surrogates for IT Professionals: Summary of a Study. American Journal of Business Education, v8 n1 p1-6. The purpose of this paper is to report a summary of the results of a study which examined the appropriateness of using business school students as surrogates for IT professionals by comparing cognitive styles, physiological characteristics, and basic demographic data among the two groups. Cognitive style refers to the way individuals think, perceive and remember information. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI), and Human Information Processing Survey (HIPS) tests were used to examine cognitive style. Physiological characteristics examined include dichotic (different ear) listening and visual perception speed, both with laterality (right/leftness). This study identifies important differences between the students and IT professionals. The results have implications for both researchers and designers of future information systems…. [PDF]

Biba, Vladim√≠r; Kontrov√°, L√Ωdia; ≈ ustekov√°, Daniela (2021). Relationship between Mathematical Education and the Development of Creative Competencies of Students. European Journal of Contemporary Education, v10 n1 p89-102. Information and the information revolution have brought many changes to our lives. The most revolutionary is the unlimited access of most people to an incredible amount of information. Today we no longer must "keep important information and facts in our heads". With the right technology, we are always within reach. The new age also changes the nature of education. It is not necessary to remember the massive amounts of information. However, it is necessary to move the student to the position of a logical, creative subject that can effectively process, select and analyze the information obtained. As mathematics teachers, we believe that it is mathematical education that positively affects the development of student creativity. Also, the creative thinking of an individual opens the way for him to solve mathematical problems successfully. New technologies replace routine and stereotypical activities in many areas of life, not excluding mathematical activities. We believe that… [PDF]

Gulati, Renu; Sen, Rekha Sharma; Sharma, Adarsh (2008). Early Childhood Development Policy and Programming in India: Critical Issues and Directions for Paradigm Change. International Journal of Early Childhood, v40 n2 p65-83. The critical importance of the early childhood years and the rights perspective to human development has made policy and programming for early childhood development an imperative for every nation. In India, poverty, changing economic and social structures resulting in the breakdown of traditional coping mechanisms and family care systems, and the disparity between the rich and the poor place a large number of children "at risk". Early childhood interventions become a pre-requisite in such contexts to mitigate the effects of deprivation and disadvantage and improve life chances, particularly of children from underprivileged and marginalized environments. The present paper uses documentary analysis and literature review to trace the evolution of early childhood development policy and programming in India, describes changing perspectives in planning and, after a critical analyses of the situation of children and programming for children in the country, discusses paradigm… [Direct]
