Before there can be a design for a course, there needs to be a framework for that design. Does the framework for any particular course contain the structures, the assumptions, and the activities that are required in order to meet the objectives of the course -- and promote intellectual growth? This is a pivotal question when referencing effective frameworks (Lattuca, 2011)
Thesis: If instructors fail to put a great deal of pedagogically adroit preparation into frameworks, students will not have the maximum opportunity for learning to solve problems. Bloom's and Anderson and Krathwohl's Framework The taxonomies for these frameworks are hierarchical; students are asked to show they can perform at the bottom of the learning curve, and the framework leads them upward (Nilson, 2010)
Therefore, my life in the school and my learning experiences were done through "rote learning." The school system made emphasis on performance objectives over learning goals (Blerkom, 2011)
At that time, the smaller and agricultural states wanted to join the union, but did not want to be always dominated by the more populous states. Dividing power so that some was based on population and some distributed equally to each state was the final compromise (Glassmann, 200; National Review, 2001)
While people say what state they're from with pride, for the average voter, most citizens' patriotism is focused on their country, not the state they live in. The criticism made most often about the Electoral College is that it does not always reflect "the will of the people" (Samples, 2001)
I gave some take-home essay tests that counted as much as an in-class exam. Why is Motivating Students Vital to the Learning Process? Because many students in colleges and universities seem satisfied to glide through courses, playing the role of spectators rather than fully-engaged participants in the educational process, the instructor must create motivational strategies (Lantos, 1997)
My plan is to be responsible with respect to prioritizing my commitments appropriately, managing my time realistically and effectively, and maintaining a general overall sense of purposefulness to help me in both of those respects. Moral Development The typical college student spends the first four years of adulthood in an academic institutional environment (Folsom, 2008)
But there are other factors that may be even more important than innate intellectual ability. Consider that the vast majority of college students who are neither at the very top not at the very bottom of the range of academic ability (Gordon, Habley, & Grites, 2008)
It would be more unusual than usual for college students, especially first-year students, to be able to accomplish everything that one plans to do in advance. What is much more important than whether or not one's initial planning proves to be effective is whether or not one takes the initiative to plan more realistically as soon as time constraints and conflicts reveal themselves (Lucier, 2008)
Well-documented gaps between mean scores of white and minority populations regularly raise the question of racial and socioeconomic bias with regard to how the tests are written." (Kingman, p
They're also cheap, says Robert Schaeffer, public education director of FairTest." (Koebler, p
Indeed, the article by Neal (2011) calls for nothing short of broad-based policy change, not just in the way that these tests are designed and administered but also in the degree to which these are used as ways of measuring and predicting student performance. As the text by Neal charges, "standardized tests allow colleges to practice social discrimination in the name of academic selectivity, when, in reality, high school grades are the best predictor of future collegiate success" (Neal, p
However, when used in high-stakes accountability, as the sole indicator of an individual student's achievement or the quality of a single school or school district, these tests can be imprecise." (Rubenstein, p
This may comprise anything from wall paint to the graffiti carved into the tables. This also includes the taste of the liquor and even the sounds of the pub (Charest, 2011)
However, it can also be about objects that much more interactive, whether or not it considers techniques and technology in and of themselves and not just their material effects or only the circumstances and social consequences of their application. In this way, the technology is seen as a system as much as a way of interaction on one level (Lemonnier, 1986, 147)
Prentice and Dale T. Miller pointed out that in the four studies that they reference on the subject, students believed that they were more uncomfortable with campus alcohol practices than the next average student (Prentice & Miller, 1993, 243)
This is general across the history of alcohol in humanity for thousands of years. For instance, there the Sumerians brewed beer at least 5000 years ago, the founding religions of much of the Western Mediterranean world that worshiped gods that were dedicated to alcohol and in the Americas in such forms as pulque, the fermented alcoholic product of maguey juice in religious ceremonies and old age (Parker & Rebhun, 1995, 1)
Gambling among college students is a growing problem on campuses across the country. A study released in May 2004 by the National Collegiate Athletic Association showed a growing tendency toward gambling among college-student-athletes, prompting the NCAA to commission a task force to study the problem (Dooley Pp)
Football, golf, wrestling and lacrosse were the sports with the highest percentages of male athletes betting, while the sports with the largest numbers of female wagering were golf, lacrosse, basketball and field hockey (Dooley Pp). One college student confessed that he began gambling when junior high school, shooting craps for lunch money on the cafeteria floor, then in college he started playing dice aboard riverboat casinos and in one night lost the $2,000 he had borrowed as a student loan (Breaux Pp)
One student at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge was recently accused of bilking the school out of $3,000 in a payroll scheme to support his gambling habit (Breaux Pp). Research suggests that the amount of underage casino gambling is substantial and that teenage casino gamblers also gamble on lotteries as well (Brown Pp)
