Aprendendo a ler a televisão: uma confluência possível
Authors: Muanis Felipe 
Published: March 2016

<p class="Default"><strong>Resumo</strong>: A televisão, desde que foi inventada, passou por transformações na forma e no modo de percepção de seus espectadores. A palavra escrita, desde então, se ressentiu da maneira como a imagem se popularizou, gerando uma preocupação presente ainda nos dias de hoje, um antagonismo entre as letras e o audiovisual, mais especificamente à televisão. É importante, então, pensar qual é a inserção da televisão na formação de públicos. A questão do conteúdo é sempre discutida, mas passa a ser essencial a transformação do espectador comum, passivo, de homem-montador para montador cinematográfico, ativo, para que o antagonismo se resolva através da educação.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Palavras-chave</strong>: homem-montador; audiovisual; educação.</p><p class="Default"><strong>Abstract</strong>: The television, since that it was invented, it passed for hashings in the form and the mode of perception of the audience.

Utilizing Undergraduate Assistants In General Education Courses
Authors: Firmin Michael W. 
Published: March 2016

This conceptual article relates a best-practice paradigm for undergraduate faculty who teach relatively large, undergraduate, general education courses and utilize an undergraduate teaching assistant (TA). Suggested characteristics for successful TAs are related as well as intrinsic and extrinsic motivators that help recruit quality assistants. Five factors are shared that are believed to have made an undergraduate TA program successful for 20 years: the quality of students recruited, helping students to handle well their peer-relationships with students in the class, learning which items can and cannot successfully be delegated to TAs, harnessing the potency of relationships, and maintaining a healthy benefit/cost equilibrium with TAs.

Authors: Bush H. Francis , Squire James , Sullivan Gerald , Walsh Vonda , English Anthony , Bolen Rosie 
Published: March 2016

E-learning has become a mainstream educational opportunity, as noted in U.S. News & World Report. Further, differences among college students have been documented in various disciplines. An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of network latency on pedagogical efficacy based on the students who were classified as in either humanities programs or engineering and science programs. The findings indicate that tolerances to screen update latencies are discipline-dependent and that students in engineering and science have a lower tolerance for screen update latency than students in the humanities.

Cinematic Perspectives On Organizational Mentoring
Authors: Boyd David P. 
Published: March 2016

Properly conceived and conducted, organizational mentoring can bestow benefits on the suppliant, the mentor and the firm. If prospective protégés assess the context of a mentoring relationship before they enter into one, they can enjoy a bonding experience that facilitates psychological satisfaction and furthers professional advancement. The movie medium is an educative means of appreciating and attaining these positive outcomes. The instructive lens of drama can complement traditional curricular materials in courses on behavioral dynamics. Over the past seven years, the author has assigned a film project in his Leadership classes at the undergraduate and MBA level. Of the 120 films chosen for students projects, five compellingly capture functional and dysfunctional aspects of protégé-protector linkages. After analyzing these films, the paper proposes ten precepts that will enhance the mentoring experience for workplace aspirants.

Authors: Carano Kenneth T. 
Published: March 2016

The digital era has enabled educators the opportunity of breaking the confinement of the four walls of the traditional classroom and accessing information across cultures and nations. This session discusses the implementation of an innovative online graduate teacher education course focusing on global perspectives. Over the course of the semester, teachers learn how to use social networking sites as a means of gaining tools to cultivate a greater understanding of their own stereotypes and prejudices while learning how to enhance the global literacy of themselves and others. In addition, through the creative nature of blogging, this course provides strategies for teachers to draw on personal experiences as they develop their own network of classroom consultants, across the globe, to foster a greater level of cultural literacy in their students.

Authors: Eastman Jacqueline K. , Iyer Rajesh , Eastman Kevin L. 
Published: March 2016

This paper proposes that Interactive Technology can help professors enhance communication, attitudes, and interest in the classroom. This paper describes Interactive Technology, how professors can use it, and preliminary findings of its effectiveness. These findings suggest that the use of Interactive Technology can enhance students’ attitudes. Additionally, students surveyed, who had used Interactive Technology in a Consumer Behavior course agreed that its use made the course more interesting and attention getting, and they were satisfied with the course. Preliminary findings, however, also suggest that Interactive Technology may not enhance attendance, course preparation, and retention.
Academic Accountability In Texas Public Schools: 2003-2007
Authors: Jaska Patrick , Hogan Patrick , Wen Zhezhu 
Published: March 2016

This study examines factors affecting test scores in a sample of thirty-seven Texas public high schools from 2003 to 2007 since the implementation of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. The schools were chosen based upon similar tax rates and district sizes. The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test was implemented in 2003 to measure the performance of Texas public high school students. Schools are rewarded for high performance based upon the student scores on the TAKS test, which is administered once per year. Much of the debate on student and school accountability has centered on the importance of student performance on the standardized TAKS test. Those who oppose testing say that teachers and administrators may simply narrow the curriculum and teach the test. Proponents of testing feel that accountability will give administrators and teachers incentives to help students learn. As a result, many school districts in Texas have increasingly put pressure on teachers to improve test scores.

Published: March 2016

This is my 35th year of running most days a year. That was correct most days a year not a week. Running is my first priority each day. Developing a routine will assist those who want exercise to become a habit. After I awake I drink a glass of water and a cup of coffee then my dog “Jazz” and I hit the streets for a 3-4 mile run. Later in the day, we walk one to two miles after going to the gym to lift weights. I will admit that I am very addicted to running and working out. I enjoy the physical, psychological, and health benefits. This paper will focus on common foot injuries. There are several foot injuries that runners or walkers may suffer. Most of the injuries on that list may result from overuse. Other problems of the foot maybe related to chronic injuries that develop over a period of time. According to Mike Walden, a former teacher of sports injuries, sports massage, and sports science, “the average runner has between 37-56% risks of injury during the course of a year’s training.” (Walden 2005) Plantar fasciitis, metatarsal stress fractures, metatarsalgia, blisters, turf toe, and Morton’s neuroma will be the focus of this paper.

Authors: Rahman Saemah , Mahmud Zuria , Yassin Siti Fatimah Mohd , Amir Ruslin , Ilias Khadijah Wan 
Published: March 2016

The term ‘expert learner’ refers to students who are actively engaged with the materials learned and take responsibility for their own learning. Literature reviews suggested the use of metacognitive approach to help develop students to become expert learners. Research on development of expert learners can be traced from movements that focused on the importance of learning strategies and “learning how to learn” approach. Some researchers combined the role of teachers and students in formulating a framework on how to develop expert learners. This study aimed to identify issues related to the development of expert learners in the classroom. Data were collected from focus group with students and teachers in Malaysia. Findings were reduced into thematic categories representing students’ and teachers’ perceptions on the issues. Results of the study showed that the use of metacognitive strategies among students is very minimal and many teachers did not aware the benefit of making the learning process visible to students. The implementation of “learning to learn” approach in the teaching and learning process remain one of the key problem need to be address in order to help students learn effectively in the classroom.
Who Would Propel Post-Communist Universities The Challenge Of Motivation
Authors: Keczer Gabriella 
Published: March 2016

Motivation is an outstanding priority of human resource management. A person is motivated to make efforts and perform by the desire to satisfy his needs. So when we deal with the issue of motivation at the workplace, the first thing we have to learn is what needs employees may have, and we also have to check which of these needs the workplace/job concerned is likely to meet and which are those that will have been left partially or totally unsatisfied. In my theoretical paper building on the need theories of Maslow, McClelland, Vroom, Porter-Lawler and Adams I analyze which basic needs the post-communist universities (state-owned higher educational institutions of the former communist countries) are likely to meet and those needs that will be partially or completely left unsatisfied. I conclude that post-communist universities are unable to meet the needs of those people who are, in each organization, the cornerstones of the future, development, competitiveness: they are the talented youth, the creative innovators and the committed leaders.
YouTube For Two: Online Video Resources In A Student-Centered, Task-Based ESL/EFL Environment
Authors: Hamilton Robert 
Published: March 2016

Online technology and streaming video have the potential to generate tremendous interest and motivation in ESL/EFL students. Unfortunately, as the basis for a task-based language teaching (TBLT) program, such technology often places students in a passive position and limits inter-student communication. This paper describes a successful TBLT course at Tokyo’s Meiji University, and explores some of the methodology for exploiting the motivational potential of streaming video sites, while ensuring that students use the target language both productively and receptively.
