Problem Statement
Furthermore, students are motivated to complete their school work using technology. Goertler and Bollen (2012) reported that students select a hybrid course not for their own technological savvy or their belief in the delivery format, but rather for the same logistical reasons that often prompt an institution to hybridize the curriculum: the flexibility in space and time. Today, school districts are buying hardware and software to implement into the curriculum only to find it underutilized by teachers. To increase the resources covered, reinforce their comprehension, and provide variety in delivery modes, Usova (2011) stated that the BSJ [ ...

Part I: Mathematical Anxiety and Defining “Good Teaching”

Anxiety in mathematics is a long-studied field of educational psychology, and is a problem that has many suggested causes. To understand the issues that arise for many people when confronting mathematics, it is important first to understand what the psychological concept of “mathematical (math) anxiety” is. Math anxiety is a perceived notion, defined by Ashcraft and Kirk (2001) as: “a feeling of tension, apprehension, or fear that interferes with math performance” (Ashcraft and Kirk, 2001). Notably, math anxiety or math phobia is not an actual inability to do mathematics; it is the perceived inability to do mathematics. This observation and the resulting research ...

Examining and explaining Saudi Arabia's educational practices relating to parent-school-community partnerships

In Saudi Arabia, parents have taken their children to school and haven't been doing follow ups on the student's school performance and attendance. Parents will just pay tuition and buy everything that the child requires. They, however, never ask the child's progress, don't even know what the child learns. When meetings are called in schools, many parents won't attend as they think it's a waste of time. They believe that their only requirement is to enroll a child in school and pay the required fees. They leave everything else to the teacher.
In some cases, children want to get ...

The impact that technology has on every aspect of our life is undeniable. We live in an era in which people rely on technology in almost every facet of their daily life, person, and professional, and in so doing, find little time to unplug. Knowing that students will be introduced to such a professional atmosphere as adults, it becomes especially key that teachers integrate technology into their lesson plans, regardless of the basic curriculum they teach, or the content they are in charge of, so that students have a thorough understanding of how technology is applicable in a variety ...

Language development in classroom communication

The backbone of any communication process is language. Language can thus be described as the means of passing information between two parties (Robertson, 2002). In a classroom, effective communication is essential for the learners to gain maximally. Poor language results in poor understanding of the subject matter in a subject. This translates into poor intellectual background of a learner. Social communication can also result in poor classroom communication (Brock-Ute, 2007). So as to analyze classroom communication, I choose to use economics as the subject of concern. This is mainly because economics extends virtually into all aspects of business regardless of the location ...

Child welfare U.S. is a complicated issue, but Americans do believe that children are important, and need to be nurtured and protected.

On the other hand, organizations with unsafe space are those, which do not embrace diversity but rather discriminate students based on sexual orientation.
