Differentiation Of Instruction

The study analyzed the effectiveness of Contextualized Differentiated Instruction (CDI) in the teaching of Contemporary Issues, a Social Studies subject in Grade 10 with these of objectives by: (1) Determining its pre-post-test results; (2) Testing its significant mean difference; (3) Analyzing its learning competencies and identifying appropriate strategies; and (4) Formulating an enhanced CDI Model of Contextualized Teaching and Learning (CTL). A one group quasi-experimental design, using pretest-and-posttest, determined the respondents’ performance on Contemporary Issues. A significant difference in the pre-posttest demonstrated an increase of proficiency manifested by an increase in the mean scores and enhanced qualitative equivalents. An above proficiency level revealed in the posttest was attributed by the engagement of the respondents in the learning process using contextual differentiated learning activities. Matching the learning competencies with the three learning domains of Gardner’s multiple intelligences resulted in a substantial utilization of the interactive and prospective teaching strategies, except on the analytic teaching strategies that were found inadequate. Hence, the creation of the COVID-19 Model may juxtapose the essence of an enhanced CDI Model of CTL. The findings have social and practical value to support differentiation of instruction in the 21st century education.

Mathematical knowledge is indubitable in various sectors, but diversity in culture and tradition in society causes inequality, injustice and backwardness among the students learning mathematics. Study of cultural heritage, customs, behavior in mathematics education is the demand of post-modern paradigm. Efforts of self-organization and co-construction in the initiation of students and teachers through their active participation, interaction and mathematics classroom discourses could be instrumental towards the generation of mathematical knowledge in classroom – which can support to reduce the western domination in mathematics education; and societal negative mind-set about mathematics education will also be minimized in this way. Ethno-mathematics, diversified mathematical strategies, culturally responsive mathematics classroom and enhancing equity in learning mathematics are the major dimensions that mathematics professionals need to exercise for the effective, reflective and contextualized teaching and learning of mathematics. This is a phenomenological study conducted among secondary level mathematics teachers. Using written interview and informal sharing of participants’ experiences towards teaching and learning mathematics, three major themes were developed and discussed. This article primarily shows that there exists the intertwined relation among these themes; and it is essential to properly address these themes for more effective learning of mathematics in the context of Nepalese secondary level classrooms.

The specificity of teaching and learning English for children with special educational needs is the result of the process of implementation of innovative technologies for developing communication skills. Teaching methods are: brainstorming / ice breaking game /; video presentation / multimedia presentation /; doll show; frontal talk; solving crossword puzzles; individual work for the faster. The training is carried out in an innovative learning environment at the “Neofit Rilski” Primary School in Kilifarevo. The expected results of teaching and learning can be represented by the significantly higher annual achievement of students with special needs. Teaching requires the teacher to prepare the academic content on a scientific basis. The scientific basis of the English lesson involves the use of the Multiple Intelligence Theory. The interest in innovative training is strongly emphasized by students with special needs.

Science and technology are the main drivers and key factors of economic and social development. There is increasing talk of a knowledge-based society and economy based on creativity and innovation. Therefore, technology transfer is seen as the development, transfer and acquisition of new knowledge, techniques, technologies and the basis for technological advancement. In the innovation literature, one can most often find that innovations create something new in order to meet certain needs for which there is market demand. However, I think this needs to change, especially in young people's views. Namely, it has long been known in marketing theory that it is defined that people's needs are created, not that the needs of consumers are addressed, so that the market meets their needs. Kotler made it clear that it was best to create and impose the product on consumers as a need on the first level of Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of needs. Authors Montonen and Erikson presented a new way of teaching and learning about innovation, through work that was prepared as a case study for six years, with a focus on the product-oriented industry. From this perspective, the main task of teaching and learning about innovation is to provide hands-on competence, based on understanding how and with whom it should be done, what types of activities, tasks and routines to perform, what are the bold moves, emotions, knowledge , competencies, norms and values ​​embraced by innovation. This paper will outline the theoretical bases on innovation, will outline basic typologies of innovation, sources of ideas as potential drivers of change, and the importance of innovation in the economic development of a country. Innovation is the basis of advancement and the driving force behind the development of every economic area in one country. When looking at the typologies listed above, it can be concluded that the basis of innovation and sources of innovation can be all aspects of the business of one company, and that innovation is "born" not only in the RiD department but also in other organizational units. Certainly it is necessary to distinguish creativity from innovation, though new innovations are born through the process of idea creation. Ideas sources can be customers, distribution channels, and existing products and services. Innovation learning needs to be changed, from a theoretical point of view, to focus on practical competencies, which are based on an understanding of how innovation should be put into practice. Of course, the theoretical and scientific basis must not be neglected, but it is imperative that the emphasis of the study be shifted from the theoretical point of view to the involvement of young people in practical examples that frame the required knowledge of innovative endeavors.

Contextualized Teaching And Learning

Despite its contextual, theoretical, and practical relevance, contextualized teaching and learning has not been the priority of school education of Nepal. The policy provision of local curriculum and the use of locally available resources for teaching and learning have continuously lost its position in educational circle. To this background, taking anti-colonial critical stance, this paper analyses problems and prospects of contextualized teaching and learning in school education of Nepal. Taking evidences from the first author's lived experiences, and experiences from a Participatory Action Research (PAR) project in a public school of Nepal, the paper exposes manifold challenges and dilemmas initiated by Western-modern educational ideologies, and promptly illustrates how those uncritically imposed/accepted schooling agendas were responsible to demolish rural (and indigenous) identities of Nepal. The paper eventually proposes policy makers and curriculum practitioners of Nepal to pursue agency in school education, making it more place-relevant; enabling school graduates to learn to ‘live’ (rather than ‘leave’) their place.

Abstract The intent of this article is to share my research endeavors in order to raise awareness of issues relative to what and how we teach as a means to spark interest in applying the scholarship of teaching and learning to what we do as faculty in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). My own interest in teaching and learning emerged rather abruptly after I introduced academic service-learning (AS-L) into one of my graduate courses (Stevens, 2002). To better prepare students to enter our profession, I have provided them with unique learning opportunities working with various community partners including both speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and teachers who supported persons with severe communication disorders.

Abstract The use of podcasting is incredibly widespread, with experts estimating that 60 million Americans will be using podcasting in some form by 2010. The use of podcasting has grown beyond entertainment to become an educational tool, showing promise as a way to disseminate information and create networks of professional learners. However, despite the growing clinical and educational uses of podcasting in other professional disciplines, podcasting is being used primarily as a continuing education tool for speech-language pathologists and audiologists at this time. This article provides guidelines and examines the potential applications for use of podcasting in teaching and learning in communication sciences and disorders.
