Addition of job performance aids will do the same, and so on. Any change in the amount and quality of resources invested in my single component of the system is likely to affect the need for resources invested in other components -- as well as the return to be expected from these investments (Bowers et al
S. scheduled airlines, domestic passenger traffic (revenue passenger enplanements) increased by 83% over the years from 1980 to 1995, and international passenger traffic doubled in the same period (Stout et al
The data is analyzed through a very simple and straightforward numeric comparison, as this is the only level of analysis that the data allows for. Total numbers of students in Utica Junior High for seventh and eight grades, the number of students actually tested for proficiency levels, the state student population at each grade level and numbers tested, and for truly accurate analysis a host of other demographic information would need to be taken into account (Giddens, 2006)
Indeed, two professors who visited Latin America observed, some of "the problems teaching mathematics" faced by elementary school educators were "remarkably like our own," that is remarkably like the problems faced by American educators. (Friesen, S
Some examples of educational environments in which students could conceivably earn digital badges include summer institutes, weekend workshops, after-school programs, K-12 classrooms, and courses in institutions of higher education. In 2010, the Mozilla Foundation held an event in Barcelona, Spain during which the concept of digital badges was introduced (Ash, 2012)
Advocates of digital badges, however, disagree with that conclusion and, in fact, The McArthur Foundation has become an active supporter and driver of the digital badges movement (Ash, 2012). The digital badges movement -- it has achieved that status -- is aligned with open university programs and other similar educational programs that do not require participation in an expensive, lock-step institutional programs (Grant, 2014)
The validity of Witkin's theory of psychological differentiation was supported by the findings of a large study that examined the visual discrimination and spatial skills of eight different cultures. The cultures were stratified by the degree of Westernization, with the baseline representing societies almost completely dependent on hunting for survival (Berry, 1971)
Although increasing diversity can be a source of problems in an educational setting (Davis, 1993, p. 40), it can also enhance the learning experience for all involved (Brookfield & Preskill, 1999, p

Learning Objectives for Adult Education Managing and Exploiting the Impact of Classroom Diversity in Adult Arts Education As the American population becomes increasingly diverse, so goes classroom diversity (Cooper, 2012)
As an arts educator of adult students, the first learning objective will be to better understand these challenges and the recommend strategies for achieving academic success. Although increasing diversity can be a source of problems in an educational setting (Davis, 1993, p
The findings of Berry (1971) reveals Witkin's theory of psychological differentiation can be adapted easily to different cultures, thereby providing a theoretical framework for understanding the educational needs of adults in a culture-specific manner. However, the pattern has been to impose Western adult education approaches upon non-Western cultures (Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007)
From a more traditional perspective it is hard to imagine how an online adult art education class could incorporate group discussions into its curriculum. One possible solution is to implement an online equivalent of an artist's portfolio; only instead of including only original works of art, the portfolio would also contain homework assignments, journal entries, teacher evaluations, and peer-assessments (Lin, Yang, Hung, & Wang, 2006)
The teacher and the students share equally and must equally participate in the learning process for learning to be effective and meaningful. Adults posses the unique ability to approach learning from many different perspectives and utilize multiple strategies to interpret information (Boulmetis, 2000)
Lones (2000) supports the notion that adult learners are their own architects, learning to design and build themselves through a creative process. He cites Carl Rogers in Freedom to Learn (1969) stating that the adult learner embarks on an educational approach and philosophy that enables the learner to become "the architect himself" in the learning process (Lones, 2000:9)
(2008) explains that in many public schools throughout the country African-American Male students are not receiving the education needed to thrive and survive in the world and the workplace. The authors also explain that this particular population has difficulty succeeding because they are often labeled at risk (Bailey, 2003; Bailey & Moore, 2004; Farmer et al

The author first posits that since White men who controlled the American school system believed that Black males were a threat to them both physically and sexually. In addition these individuals created myths and manipulated stereotypes to justify the need for social control (Cose 2002; Feagin 2000; Hutchinson 1994;Fitzgerald (2006)
