The following is an abridged version of the author's original Master's thesis written in 2008 for LeMoyne College in Syracuse, New York. This qualitative, structural, comparison determined if twelve Character Education studies of Brigham Young University, specifically the Positive Behavioral Support Initiative, assessed the same literacy program components this author designed in spring 2008 for the Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School in Syracuse, New York. Based on McConnell and LoGiudice's (1998) &quot;That's Life! Social Language,&quot; five main curricular units connected student communication, conversation, emotions, peer relationships, and collaboration. This study found that the Society of Jesus and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints upheld the importance of an educational setting beginning at home and continuing religious objectives within K-12 academia. Still, future research was needed to analyze the level of impact of parochial curricula on U.S. Federal mandates.

The present study aimed at examining the interpersonal aspects of depression among female college students. A sample of 60 undergraduate female college students (50 pairs: 25 depressed and 25 non-depressed subjects along with their best friends) was drawn from Government Degree College for Women, Multan. Beck Depression Inventory (Beck et al., 1961) was administered to both the depressed and non-depressed subjects along with their best friends (i) to fill it out for themselves, (ii) to fill it out for as would their friends (iii) and to fill out for, as would the average person. Statistical analysis showed that the best friends of depressed subjects were significantly more depressed than the best friends of non-depressed subjects. Results also suggested that depressed subjects perceived their best friends and the average persons to be more depressed as compared to the non-depressed subjects. No significant differences were found between actual and perceived scores of best friends of both the depressed and non-depressed subjects. Also, no significant differences were found between best friend's perception and actual scores of depressed and non-depressed subjects.

The central dimension of human personality is extroversion and introversion, the present study is therefore focussed on the relationship between creativity and extraversion and introversion personality traits. A teacher can identify extrovertism and introvertism among the students easily on the basis of their behaviour and habits. Teacher can also identify the relationship between creativity and these personality traits. This is the basic reason behind the present study undertaken by the investigator. In the present study, the data is collected randomly from ten schools; the total number of the students taken for the investigation are 100. The researcher selected Baqar Mehdi's Creativity Test and Dr. Jai Prakash's Diagnostic Test for Introversion and Extraversion in the present investigation. The data is analyzed by way of mean, standard deviation, critical ratio and Co-efficient of co-relation. The results are discussed and the conclusions are drawn. On overall observation of the study of some educational implications are also given. This research denies any relationship between creativity of extroverts and introverts, which will help all the person related to the student's personality development.

In recent years India has shown a growing appetite for open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP). Despite this, there is a paucity of research on OER use and impact, the extensiveness of OEP, and attitudes towards openness in India. This paper reports on research intended to help fill that knowledge gap by conducting a pan-India survey using many of the questions developed by the UK Open University's Open Education Research Hub (OERH) for use in its OER impact research around the world (http://oerresearchhub.org/collaborative-research/instruments/). Delivered online, in English and Hindi, the pan-India survey is the biggest of its kind to have been conducted in India. Analysis of the collected data reveals extensive evidence of educators using OER to improve their teaching, and survey respondents' common belief in the educational benefits of OER. In addition, despite encountering greater technical and structural barriers to OER use than those typically experienced by OERH survey respondents from the Global North, the pan-Indian survey respondents tend to show more engagement with OEP than their developed country peers, notably in terms of creating resources and publishing them on a Creative Commons (CC) license, and in adding comments to OER repositories. Accordingly, this paper presents an emergent model intended to better capture the rich contextual factors inhibiting and enabling OER use and OEP in the Global South. It must be acknowledged, however, that our findings relate to a fairly highly educated selection of educators, teacher-educators, students, education managers, academics, activists and policymakers. We therefore plan to expand on our model by conducting further research with a more diverse group of respondents, to include people facing technological, economic and societal barriers to using OER.

The paper describes the concept of a federated ecosystem for Open Educational Resources (OER) in the German education system. Here, a variety of OER repositories (ROER) (Muuß-Merholz &amp; Schaumburg, 2014) and reference platforms have been established in the recent past. In order to develop this ecosystem, not only are metadata standards necessary, but also open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are required in order to exchange information. In conclusion, it is essential that all relevant stakeholders agree on an explicit policy to be developed collaboratively. A metadata exchange service can serve to connect all partners.
Political Participation as Public Pedagogy--The Educational Situation in Young People's Political Conversations in Social Media

Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Citizen Participation,Teaching Methods,Social Media,Philosophy,Communities of Practice,Foreign Countries,Persuasive Discourse,Political Attitudes,Case Studies,Social Action,Computer Mediated Communication

In this article we argue that young people's political participation in the social media can be considered &quot;public pedagogy&quot;. The argument builds on a previous empirical analysis of a Swedish net community called Black Heart. Theoretically, the article is based on a particular notion of public pedagogy, education and Hannah Arendt's expressive agonism. The political participation that takes place in the net community builds up an educational situation that involves central characteristics: communication, community building, a strong content focus and content production, argumentation and rule following. These characteristics pave the way for young people's public voicing, experiencing, preferences and political interests that guide their everyday political life and learning--a phenomenon that we understand as a form of public pedagogy.
Young People and the European Dimension in a Norwegian Context. Migration and National Critical Events as Challenges to Citizenship Education
Author: Skeie, Geir

Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Citizenship Education,Resilience (Psychology),Terrorism,Cultural Pluralism,Foreign Countries,Immigration,Immigrants,Cultural Background

The article discusses the &quot;European dimension&quot; in a Norwegian context with focus on the relevance for young people in particular. Against a backdrop of literature discussing Norwegian majority self-understanding in relation to Europe, the article discusses some examples that are relevant for addressing the overall theme, namely recent work-migration to Norway and the terrorist attacks of 22 July 2011. As different as they may be, both these cases are raising urgent issues related to socio-cultural diversity, inclusion and resilience and it is suggested that this may be addressed more in citizenship education.
Finding a Place in the Discourse: Film, Literature and the Process of Becoming Politically Subject

This paper reports on the role of the narrative arts in young people's political subjectivity and democratic learning. Drawing on theoretical insights into the process of subjectification and the relationship between politics and aesthetics, the paper discusses a number of findings from an empirical research project carried out with young people in two arts contexts. Interpreting these in the light of a theoretical framework that privileges a performative understanding of subjectivity, the paper argues that narrative art forms such as literature, film and television play an important role in the ways young people construct and perform their political subjectivity, and that this is an important part of their overall democratic learning. The implications of this for democratic education are discussed and the paper concludes with the suggestion that we need to rethink political literacy, civic engagement and democratic learning in aesthetic and imaginative terms.
Liberal Liability: Students' Understanding of a Gender Perspective in Social Science

Research has shown that teaching gender theories tends to be an educational challenge and elicits student resistance. However, little is known about students' learning processes in social science. This study aims to explore these learning processes by drawing on feminist pedagogy and conceptual change theory. The results show that when students are asked to perform analysis from a structural gender perspective, they recurrently introduce other explanatory frameworks based on non-structural understandings. The students' learning processes involve reformulating questions and making interpretations based on liberal understandings of power, freedom of choice and equality. We argue that this process is due to the hegemonic position of the liberal paradigm as well as to the dominant ideas about science. Clarifying the underlying presumptions of a liberal perspective and a structural perspective may help students to recognise applied premises and enable them to distinguish relevant explanations. A bibliography is included.

The present paper defines the key words of &quot;Distance Teaching&quot; (DT), &quot;Distance Education&quot; (DE), and &quot;Open (Distance) Learning&quot; (ODL) to be followed by the exploration of the &quot;Instructional Design&quot; (ID) concept, its principles and process and the operational steps to emphasize on the ever missing issue of the &quot;communication with the learner&quot;. Considering the fact that educational needs and requirements are losing their &quot;mass identity&quot; but becoming more individualized, communication with the learner becomes a more dominant fact in discussing the future strategies of education at a distance. The paper concludes with the suggestion that &quot;Open Distance Learning (ODL)&quot; is the way ahead.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the concept of &quot;Bhinneka Tunggal Ika,&quot; in its narrowest sense, a policy on religious tolerance, as it is operationalized in social studies textbooks and in classroom practice in Indonesia. The focus of the research is on six electronic textbooks used by students aged 7-12 years, in Indonesian elementary schools which are further considered in the context of Indonesian teachers' actual experience of the operationalization of &quot;Bhinneka Tunggal Ika&quot; in a classroom setting. The study shows that the textbooks and classroom practice are able to describe and transform a concept such as &quot;Bhinneka Tunggal Ika&quot; into a real and meaningful concept or practice for students as practiced in the family, the school, the wider community and at a national level as well as in religious ceremonies, architecture, and &quot;gotong-royong&quot; (or reciprocal) activities. However, the state also has a political goal and this concept should also be viewed as underlying cultural policy designed to build a character and civilization appropriate to a pluralistic Indonesian nation.

As science and technology develop, the use's areas of Fuzzy Logic Theory develop too. Measurement and evaluation in education is one of these areas. The purpose of this research is to explain the influence of fuzzy logic theory on students' achievement. An experimental method is employed in the research. The traditional achievement marks and The Fuzzy Logic Theory-based achievement marks of students are calculated and compared in the research. In the result, a significant difference between the traditional achievement marks (X-bar = 52.77; S = 17.92; N = 32) and Fuzzy Logic Theory-based achievement marks (X-bar = 64.84; S = 12.87; N = 32) are found in favour of fuzzy logic (t = -10.87; p &lt; 0.05; r = 0.61).

This study intends to provide some insights regarding Turkish student teachers' perception of a &quot;Model Teacher&quot; in terms of teaching methods, teacher personality, and teacher-student interaction in the classroom. These students are 26 graduate students who are doing their master's degree in Teacher Education at Bilkent University in Turkey. These student teachers came to the United States with a Fulbright scholarship to do their internships at a high school for ten weeks. To find out their understanding of a &quot;Model Teacher,&quot; a survey was given to them. Analysis of the data revealed that students are aware of the importance of collaborative learning. Further analysis of questions related to technology use showed that the students do not see technology as a tool that needs to be integrated into all content areas. Findings related to other questions revealed that there is a statistically significant gender difference on four questions. The researchers suggest that the survey be given a large sample of students, so factor analysis can be conducted to find out the factors constituting an ideal teacher. According to Fraser (1994), teachers' and students' attitudes toward classroom environment differ, and students' perceptions usually are better in interpreting learning outcomes. As student teachers who will be teaching at schools in the near future, their understanding of a &quot;model teacher&quot; can have an important impact on other student teachers as well as on experienced teachers because they can see both sides of the coin. Understanding these student teachers' views on how a model teacher should function in a classroom environment helps us understand what they think a model educational setting should be like. This study intends to provide some insights regarding Turkish student teachers' perception of a &quot;model teacher&quot; in terms of teaching methods, teacher personality, and teacher-student classroom interactions.
