Motivation is an incredibly important factor in education; it plays a critical role in student learning. This motivation can be intrinsic; namely, the motivation comes from a student’s own desire to learn.

However, these expectations may have unknown effects on these students. Students from ages 5 to 7 are in the early stages of education, and so trends and expectations established here can carry through ...

The charter school system is a high controversial educational move towards business-run schools. Their influence is already palpable as increasingly, more and more schools, nationally, are becoming privately owned. These schools, invariably, deviate from the government-instated curriculum by adding their own impetus to various topics – for example, the Edison group, who currently own 100 schools across America, place more importance on subjects such as Maths and Science. However, it is this aspect of charter schools that attracts a large amount of criticism: their autonomy enables them to implement a curriculum which is centric to one or two subjects. This immediately raises concerns ...

While the literature and interest in bilingualism in education in the Middle East remains new, it is widely practiced across the world either by design or by a complete accident. Many literatures ignore or only mention the Middle East in passing, possibly due to the perception that the Arab world homogenously used Arabic, and are even hostile against English, French, Germany and others. Karmani (2005) and Karmani and Pennycook (2005) in Gallagher (2011) deconstruct the evolution of rhetoric and attitudes towards English, which was inevitably associated with the US activities in the Arab world, besides the perceptions that is is a ...

Oral health presents a significant public health problem that affects every group in the human population. Typically, children with poor oral health tend to show an undesirable oral health outcome throughout their childhood and adulthood because people are constantly susceptible to the development of dental caries during their lifetimes (Kawashita, Kitamura, & Saito, 2011). Past investigations have reported that oral health is linked to numerous health issues. Dental caries in childhood, for instance, increases the risk of comorbid maladies like cardiovascular disease and diabetes (Kawashita et al., 2011). The World Health Organization (2015) recognizes the significant impact of oral health ...

Literature Review on Discovery Based Learning and Student Centred Learning with a Focus in Mathematics at a High School Level

Abstract
Mathematics is a logical form of reasoning which involves making of judgments and justifying conclusions. Mathematical behaviour therefore is expressed when we can describe and recognise patterns, manipulate, represent and reflect on ideas while solving problems through the invention of procedures (Battista, 1999).

Many critics have blamed the methods applied in the teaching of mathematics as the reason behind unsatisfactory performance. This essay will look into ...

Mental Health Issues Influencing Academic Performance amongst Students in Australia

Why students don’t use school libraries?

In a study conducted on students in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania, it has been found that most commonly used library sources by students are books and novels. However, it has to be considered that knowledge cannot be acquired only through text books or lectures. Some other resources of information, which are commonly used in present day education, are also required such as different kinds of dictionaries, atlases and maps, poetry books, and audio visual presentations. Sometime, these are not available in libraries; therefore, it becomes difficult for students to find all the required information. Among other difficulties faced by students in ...

Vygotsky and Piaget’s theories emphasize the interaction between nurture and nature in learning and development. Piaget believed that children were moulded by their interaction with the environment, ...

Background

The inclusion of learners with special needs is gradually becoming a major concern to various governments (Holt, 2004). With the enactment of the Disability Discrimination act of 1992 and changes in community perceptions towards individuals with disability in Australia, mainstream primary educational institutions have had to prioritize children with disabilities’ inclusion (Forbes, 2007). Holt (2004) gives a social model definition of disability as the disadvantage or restriction of activity resulting from contemporary social organization which takes either little or no account of individuals with physical impairments thereby excluding them from mainstream social activities. Generally, children are considered learning disabled if they ...
