Educations ideas in 21 century

Education and the Learning Revolution

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:56:48 +0000

It sometimes seems to be the case that education in the UK often becomes a bit of a political football – so much so that there is a danger that we lose the essence of what learning is all about.

Many commentators have spoken of the need for not simply educational reform but for educational revolution.

In the 1980′s the authors Dryden and Vos made the observation that we were teaching young people to face a future in which they will have to solve problems that we do not know will be problems yet, with technologies that do not exist yet and undertake roles and jobs which we have no concept of – yet.

A few years ago a presentation called SHIFT HAPPENS highlighted some of the ways in which change is happening exponentially – what we know, what we think we know – what we understand, what we think we understand – is all in a state of flux. In short technological and scientific developments are redefining the skills that we will need to engage fully in our futures.

As technology and scientific discoveries shape and mold our understanding of the world they bring with them new and different moral and ethical questions which will need to be addressed.

The real question is whether or not our current education systems, which Sir Ken Robinson maintains stifles creativity and are really ‘one long university application process’, can meet the challenge of the future.

For the most part education systems are linear, attempting to homogenize learning experiences by creating academic targets that are based upon chronological age and not social-emotional-intellectual readiness. At the same time teachers are being presented with a host of ‘learning initiatives’ that are often little more than coverings for a crumbling system; hence they are met with cynicism promoting a real lack of joined-up thinking.

This is not about the teachers and the quality of their work. It is more about the structures within which they are working or are expected to work.

Talk to teachers about teaching and learning and one of their first observations will be about the ‘crowded curriculum’ followed by a disheartening reflection that “admin work” is taking them away from the process of engaging with young people in learning challenges and conversations.

At the start of this academic term I was invited to talk to a group of parents and eager Year 10 students about the ‘fresh start’ they could make on their chosen examination subjects. The focus of my talk was about being emotionally engaged, and therefore, motivated by their own learning. All went well and my presentation was well received, but perhaps would have been so much more ‘real’ if had not been preceded by a senior member of staff in the school talking about ‘target levels’, ‘projected’ and ‘expected’ grades and the need to ensure that grades were in need of constant improvement in order to ensure that colleges of further and higher education looked favourably on future applications.

Surely there are several questions here…

The first is the motivational nature of ‘targets’ in the first place. There is a world of difference between having targets ‘imposed’ and having targets developing from personal goals and interests.

Secondly is the assumption that further or higher academic education, based upon GCSE or A level grades, is the right path for all.

So much for personalised learning!

Of course a cynic could say that the subtext for such targets, and the striving for ‘good grades’ is not about the education of our young people, but about the political hoops that need to be jumped through in order to be recognised as a ‘good’ school or ‘excellent teacher’.

Many of those working at the ‘chalk face’ are aware of the tension that can exist between ‘teaching and learning’, as a philosophical ideal, and ‘education’ as a political agenda where funding and performance are so often linked.

Any Education Authority, School or Teacher daring to take revolutionary view of teaching and learning, must not only face the challenges dictated by central government, where academic progress (i.e. examination performance) is ‘king’, but also the perceptions of parents who cling to more traditional approaches to teaching and learning with the honest intention of wanting their children to ‘do the best they can’.

The truth of the matter is that, in terms of subject knowledge and personal skills, what was valuable in the past may not be that relevant in the future.

In essence, perhaps, there are only four key skill areas in which revolutionary educators need to focus.

1) The Ability to Access and Assess Information

2) The Ability o Communicate Effectively in a Variety of Ways

3) The Ability to Manage and Lead Self

4) The Ability to Manage Chang

Each of these areas have within them other, more generic skills, and the issue is that all can be developed within the framework of a curriculum that is not necessarily divided by ‘subjects’ but linked through ‘context’.

I heard Richard Dawkins comment recently on the decline in the standards of scientific literacy in our society, and the fact that science itself may have been marginalised by a more egalitarian education system wherein personal opinion was perhaps more valued than collective understanding based upon empiricism and reasoned argument.

In many respects I echo this sentiment.

We need to address deficits in critical thinking and encourage the fundamental question ‘how do we know’?

But this cannot be done at the expense of creativity and personal expression.

Artists do not have the monopoly on creativity and personal expression in the same way that scientists do not have the sole rights to analysis and rationality.

The Learning Revolution, the one that has stalled several times, demands that young people are asked questions about what they THINK and how the FEEL in equal measure – and be given the skills to REFLECT upon those questions.

It insists upon encouraging young people to identify their TALENTS and their PASSIONS, which may have little to do with university entrance or academic results.

It requires parents, teachers and politicians to recognise that the skills and knowledge that served them for the NOW may not be the same as those demanded by a society of the FUTURE

Online Education Programs and Degrees

admin — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:55:29 +0000

Is there a professional certification that you have been dreaming of earning? Are there courses you would like to take to advance your career? Is there a degree that would give you the edge? Online education may be the answer you have been looking for.

Online courses offer a wide variety of educational options. You can obtain your degree or earn a certificate in various topics. With online courses, you may never have to attend a traditional classroom setting again to achieve your dreams of higher education, certification or special licensing. If you are looking to enhance or achieve new job skills, there are many programs available that will help you meet your goals. There are also courses that are geared towards improving office skills and keeping up with the latest technology.

Online education programs go beyond hard copy books being sent to your home through the mail. Students can do everything online – from interactive exercises, reading chapter assignments, taking final exams and so much more. Plus, if you select a school with an educational support department, you can receive help with challenging concepts when you need it. That way, you can benefit from the convenience of setting your own study schedule and learning at your own pace.

So, now that you have some compelling reasons to pursue your education online, how do you go about selecting your course of study? First, consider your current situation. Are you already working a job in an industry that interests you? If so, you can enroll in course work that will further complement your background and potentially make you the right candidate for a promotion.

On the other hand, maybe you’re looking to break into a whole new industry and start fresh. Online education programs are perfect for this scenario too! You can continue to work your current job to ensure continued income and stability for yourself and family, while in your free time, work towards the certification or licensing you need to go after your new, dream job.

Online schools offer a large variety of licensing and certification courses in growing industries, including medical and renewable green energy. After you know what industry or field want to pursue your online education in, start researching online schools that offer programs that coincide with your career goals and interests.

Take your time when selecting your online education program. For example, make sure the school has national or regional accreditation. Accreditation is paramount when selecting your online school, because it means the institution has been thoroughly reviewed and is required to meet a set of standards. It’s also your added assurance that the school is offering a quality-based curriculum, operates on a sound financial basis and assists students in an ethical manner. Other attributes to consider in your online school search include payment plan options, financial assistance options, military tuition assistance acceptance, live student support and more.

Pursuing your education online is a smart way to achieve a brighter future for yourself, your family and the rewarding career you deserve. Don’t give into limiting thinking – you can do it! And online education may be the missing ingredient you have always needed to turn your education dreams into reality.

Two Key Concepts When Beginning to Use a New Language

admin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:54:15 +0000

Speaking a language involves two key features: creation and cooperation. Creation entails building your own sentences to serve what you want to communicate, while cooperation refers to the dynamic relationship between the speaker and the listener. Both things go hand-in-hand to create a fruitful interaction.

The creativity that speaking a language entails is one of the main reasons why it’s best to give yourself time before using it in the real world. While memorized phrases are helpful, committing them verbatim are seldom sufficient to successfully hold your own even in the most basic settings.

Even if you only manage to master twenty of the most frequently used words in a month, that will be enough to afford you some creativity in the field. Paired with memorized phrases, you can construct enough proper conversation materials to be able to communicate what you need.

Cooperation involves the dynamic of understanding the speaker and returning their efforts, in order to complete the interaction. While that’s the natural course of things, it becomes difficult to achieve when one of the parties doesn’t have the necessary skills in the language (e.g. you’re only on the first lesson of your language education software). While it’s not impossible, the work required on the part of the both parties tend to be too much.

So what’s the point? You have to keep this two things in mind when preparing to use the target language in a real-world setting. Be prepared to be creative and be cooperative. That’s the only way to get things done.

Getting the Most of Online Education

admin — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:53:13 +0000

Today, there is a growing trend of more and more people enrolling in online education. Most have chosen to further their education and their careers by way of online study.

This trend is making this education one of the fastest growing industries in the education sector of business. Earning an online degree is now in vogue and it already had earned its respectability years ago.

For people who are eying of getting one through online education, here are some of the ways to make the most out of this new style in education.

Flexibility

One of the biggest – if not the biggest – reasons of the strong attraction in education through the internet is flexibility. The student can afford to incorporate his classes into his daily schedule without sacrificing work time and family commitments.

These classes are all online and are provided to a forum or a class manager website. These forums (or sites) are where the assignments, messages, and study materials are made available. Student home works are also turned in here.

Working students can work their job schedules around their study times. Students with children to care can choose the time for their class work. Those who travel need not worry because their school work can be accessed anywhere in the world where there is Internet.

Student-centered lessons

In online education, student-centered approach in teaching is more evident than in the traditional style of instructions. Online, the instructor can tailor-fit the lessons according to the student.

For instance, some students are visual learners and some learn by doing. Online, the student gets to decide when and how best to study and digest his lessons. They are left to find what works best for them.

Instructors

In online education, instructors are more accessible than their face-to-face counterparts in on-campus schools. Talking with the instructors is simply done in newsgroup discussions, online chats, or through emails.

Interacting with an instructor does not need an actual appointment during office hours like in normal circumstances.

This convenient setup saves time and encourages warm student-instructor communications and rapport. It can also produce a positive effect in the student’s academic work in general.

Online education also reflects the status of the instructors. They may also be located in other parts of the world since the teaching is done on the Internet.

This is one type of diversity that is advantageous to the student. The main reason is that this allows the student more exposure to the different concepts and perspectives that can happen only if the instructors are from all over the globe.

Education counselors

When the student is committed to an online education program, education counselors are also available to them. These are the people responsible for making your online education experience positive, trauma-free and successful.

They help plan the overall course of study as well as help in choosing the right classes. They are available all the time to answer any question. The student’s urgent questions are answered quickly via emails or instant messaging.

In turn, they can contact you during evenings or weekends, if those are your only available times. They are sensitive to your needs and they are especially easy with first-timers.

Study at Home – Distance Education Through Online Helps

Learn Languages and Meet Other Worlds

admin — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 08:23:24 +0000

I believe that the best way to live is doing what you love to do. If you love what you do, you will always do it amazingly. Personally, I love languages. I think that there is no feeling more fulfilling than knowing and being interested in the rest of the world. Languages go hand in hand with culture, and they are a door to other worlds, for each culture is an entire different world. When taking French lessons Calgary students explain that the reasons why they study such language are innumerable. Generally, when we study any other thing we have a few reasons to do so. For instance, if you study medicine, you want to become a doctor, save lives, and do so for a living. If you study music, you want to become a musician, fulfill your life with music, or create beauty. Of course, there could be more reasons than the mentioned ones, but they would all be similar. One thing about languages is that the reasons why people study them vary widely. You can study languages to travel, to work, to understand your backgrounds, to apply for college, or simply out of curiosity. This also means that whatever the reason behind your learning is, you might pull the magic trick of languages anytime later in life. You don’t know when they will come in handy. One thing, however, is for sure. Whatever the reason behind learning is, you will find more and more advantages as opportunities arise in life. This is what makes learning languages so fulfilling, the mystery, the hope of not knowing, and being able to expect anything. If you speak a language few people can speak in your country, then you might expect opportunities that happen to few people as well.

Ehen taking Portuguese lessons Dallas workers and students assure that they do so in order to travel to Brazil, which is not only one of the fastest developing economies nowadays, but also an extremely paradisiac country to visit. It is not until you personally experience Brazil, or any other culture, that you will feel the vibe, their unique atmosphere, and intrinsically understand their culture. However, the only way to do so realistically is by knowing the language. If you speak a different language, you just can dive into a different world. How amazing is this?

Learn Anytime/Anywhere From Online Education Portal Website

The term education means a lot in itself. On one hand it is the dream of every child to get educated with whatever facilities are available and on the other hand every parent also has the dream that whether they afford or not but they want and have the willingness to provide education to their children. Children are hope of every family, society and country.

With them we see many such dreams that we have been unable to fulfill. We have many schools, and in all schools there are children coming from different backgrounds. Some are coming from highly educated backgrounds and have a strong support whereas there are some children who come to school with a hope to provide new turn, a new beginning to their uneducated families and fulfill their incomplete dreams. Hope of having educated children is seen and also blossoms in every parent’s heart. Also there are many areas and many people where education is not available very easily or at a reasonable charge.

With all such conditions prevailing the very thought of providing education in a friendly and an easier manner has come into existence and that is known as online education. These days the trend of online education, which means that learning anytime/anywhere from education portals is very much into existence and is being taken as a positive practice. In all the areas is it a rural place or an area where good quality education cannot reach, the practice of online education can be seeded and the fruits that it will cultivate would be really sweet.

Internet is one such thing which is easily available in all parts across all the countries. With education portals, education can be provided to student in a different and effective way. The children today are very much into the habit of using computers. Somehow they waste their time that can be utilized in studying. So by introduction of the online education portals the practice of learning anytime/anywhere can be used to its best. The students get much more than they expect. The online education portals not only provide education to the students but also keep them busy in something that is of use to them.

We can get much more than expected from the online education portals and websites. They provide many new options like sample papers, practice papers and also have videos performed by renowned faculties. The acceptance level by the students is surprisingly good as they also get education in a new mode. The positive attitude towards the online education can be judged by the acceptance of such good services from the use of online education websites as a regular practice.

The very idea of providing online education which helps in learning anytime/anywhere is unique in its own way. The students do not get fed up of the regular practice and their time gets utilized in nothing else but educating themselves. If the children are using online education websites than the need of being a volunteer parent also reduces as the student can get answered to his inquisitive minds by very own. The practice of using online education websites/portals which provides leaning anytime/anywhere should be promoted and applauded.

Why Many Parents Decide to Home School Their Children

admin — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 16:29:10 +0000

Of course in America there are many options to educating our children. There are public schools, private schools, charter schools, Montessori schools and, of course, the option of home schooling. There are advocates of both home schooling and public schooling. Those of us who don’t home school, which is still the majority of Americans, need to fully understand the reasons why people choose to home school their children.

Religious or Philosophical Convictions:

Religion is not permitted in the public schools. Many families feel that religion needs to be a larger part of their child’s education than that which the public schools allow.

People who have deep religious beliefs show great passion. These are the individuals who are passionate about their children’s education and feel that only they are able to teach them to the best of their ability and the content that they feel they should be learning. The home schooling parent is in charge, they call the shots and they like it that way.

Socialization:

Some people that don’t understand home schooling believe that it is confining rather than socializing. But those individuals that believe that are stuck in thinking about the stereotypical socialization of an age-based classroom. Children that are home schooled are exposed to social situations in a mixed age range. They have “age-mates” instead of “class-mates”.

Many home schoolers feel that their children need to be exposed to the appropriate ways to behave not inappropriate. They feel that their child should be exposed to the model behavior of people who have learned to make decisions and handle themselves in various social settings. By being exposed to appropriate modeling of social behavior, home-schooled children will learn how to act appropriately.

Parents of home schooled children can also see when their child “gets-it” when they model for a younger child appropriate behavior.

Home-schooled children get a reality based social lesson. On a daily basis they see adults they know, love and trust manage and balance life day to day. Modeled for them is academics balanced with real life chores; caring for a sick friend or neighbor, shoveling the driveway and walkway, doing the grocery shopping and dropping of the dry cleaning, cooking dinner while folding laundry, putting laundry away and talking on the phone with Aunt Sara. These are real life situations that home schoolers are exposed to and public school children are often sheltered from or are privy to a controlled school environment.

Academics:

Home schoolers have several advantages over publicly schooled children. The curriculum is designed specifically for them – not for children their age and what children at a particular age are expected to know and learn. Public schools differentiate instruction the best they can. However, a home-schooled child has a curriculum tailored to their needs. They may read at a 4 th grade level, spell at a 3 rd grade level and complete math at a 6 th grade level.

A home-schooled child is neither rushed nor not given enough time. There are no other children to “keep busy” so they are free to work at their pace and move as quickly or as slowly as need be.

Much research has been done on how children learn best. A home-schooled child is not only taught by the person who knows them best in the entire world but also since they are the only student, the learning style never has to be varied. If a student learns best through music, then the curriculum of a home-schooled child can be tailored to meet their needs so they will be more successful.

Home-schooled children get to spend more quality time as a family. They are not trapped in a traditional school setting for 6 hours a day but are free to spend quality time as a family every day.

It is said that parents are a child’s first teacher. Families that home school want to continue to be their child’s teacher because they feel that their children need the guidance of their family and God and not the guidance of someone hired to do a job that is naturally theirs from the day their child was born.

Online Education Background Checks: Employers and Student’s First Choice to Legitimacy!

admin — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 16:29:06 +0000

As higher education becomes more of a determining factor in one’s eligibility for all sorts of jobs and the employers are keeping their consent over quality employment, many job applicants are looking for shortcuts to remain competitive in the marketplace. And since the economic halt had started and finding a job become a harsh business, people are trying to get their way out by forging their educational documents or even buying education to fake “diploma mills”. They don’t even know that this could not only humiliate them in front of their prospective employer but also end their career in a gutter. A total loss of time, money and mental peace.

Every single employer is now looking for the best employee and they are judging their prospective candidate on the basis of education and the legitimacy of their credentials earned during their study. Employers are keeping a close eye on every single incumbent by running comprehensive education background checks as they knows the fact that educational success reveals a great deal about an applicant’s credentials and motivations; and through education background checks, an employer can get an accurate depiction of their qualifications as well their intentions of playing a role in development of the company.

In 2004, the revealed that nearly 200,000 federal employees had at the very least exaggerated education credentials on their resume.
: More than 53% of job applicants falsify information on their resumes; one in four candidates misrepresents his educational attainment.
: 49% of employment, education and or credential reference checks reveal discrepancies in the applicant’s information.
: 41% of applicants lie about their education.

The above inclination of facts about the defined scenario indicates an increase in the likelihood that employer’s who don’t verify education will hire unqualified personnel. Hiring unqualified personnel, in turn, leads to higher employee turnover, forcing the organization to incur expensive recruiting and replacement costs.

The second biggest and most souring, surging problem for employers are fake diploma mills which are playing a role in instigating fraud among the innocent people. These online cheap diploma/degree making factories are looting people for fast track degrees.

Diploma mills and degree mills as well as various websites, advertise very realistic, physical diplomas and transcripts, which have been found to deceive many employers. Therefore, with the striking statistics of resume fraud, employers should think twice about using physical diplomas as proper evidence of a degree. Because the requirement for education qualification has become so demanding, education fraud is becoming more prevalent, as are the establishments of diploma mills.

]]>

Consequently, in order to combat education fraud, laws have recently been passed in which companies who manufacture fake degrees and diplomas are considered to have committed a Misdemeanor.

Many employers view particular educational qualifications as a key factor in seeking new employees. Moreover, education is a prerequisite for many positions because it ensures applicable knowledge of a subject matter, or more importantly, a required license for the position.

Educational history may be the most commonly falsified information on an application or resume. Some estimates place the incidence of resumes containing erroneous education information as high as 30 percent. Clearly, employers should be extremely cautious. And they are not accepting copies of a degree from candidates as proof of their graduation given that it can simply be a clever forgery paid for by the applicant.

Education background checks or education verification is the only way to prevention not only for the employers but also for the people who are looking for education but a legitimate one.

At present, human resource departments in companies directly contact the concerned educational institution and undertake verification. This is no longer a viable solution, considering the increase in the number of recruitments, and the time taken for verification. This is also not a fool proof method.
A second method, often adopted by many of the larger corporations, is to outsource their employment verifications to background screening companies, who maintain large personnel databases.

Online education background checks is the system of online degree, diploma and education verification. The system consists of a database of fake colleges and universities and as well as the misdemeanors who faked their documents in past. It is now the best free online resource for the employers as well as for the students, who can check their institutions as well. It’s a killer product for the keen employers as well as for the legitimate education seeking students.

Employers can be able to save themselves from a negligent hiring lawsuit.
Employers can be able to hire the best qualified employee for their respective positions.
Online education background checks are fast then conventional education verification process, enabling an employer to make quick hiring decision.
Online education background checks can save money and good amount of time.

Assurance that the institution is meeting certain educational quality standards.
Reasonable grounds for believing that the institute will continue to meet them.
Assurance that their Degrees will be widely accepted by the employers, professional associations, other colleges and universities.
Belief that their Degree will reap the benefits associated with sound and high-quality educational standards.

Falsified education credentials have become a serious issue in the workforce; it breaches the faith on employees who are involved, especially when it can directly affect other employees and the company as a whole. It is also a serious blunder on the part of the employer who should have done proper education background checks; a mistake that could essentially hinder their current position.

Education background checks for employment; verify the certification, training, or educational claims of a job applicant. The universities, colleges, vocational schools, etc. are checked to verify dates of attendance and graduation, degrees or certifications obtained, majors studied, GPA, and honors received by a potential job candidate. The verification of education process is an important part of a quality pre-employment background check.

Although a federal law has been implemented to target diploma mills that give out phony diplomas, the problem still exists and is far from being corrected. In the meantime, employers and students must remain steadfast about conducting education background checks that include verifying academic credentials and institutions for their legitimacy.

The online qualification verification and diploma/degree mill checking system is significant source of help to the employers and students looking for easy and free of cost education background checks.
