Required Service

Ask any progressive educator the question posed by my title, and you won’t have to wait long for an answer: everything.  From the size of the class, to the quality of the computer lab, to the costs of textbooks, to the demographics and the class schedules of the students, to the workload and the compensation of faculty assigned to teach them—it is just so easy to name a few of the obvious material factors signaling the neoliberal economy’s effect on how we teach required service classes like research writing (or any course, for that matter).  By and large, we share basic understandings about that history, so I am not going to rehearse it here.

In this essay, I reflect on my experience of part-time, fixed term, zero-hour, short-term, and unpaid contracts in academia. Precarious contracts are one of the biggest challenges facing our industry as neo-liberal values rule our institutions, impacting our teaching, research, and quality of life.

Abstract             The presence of research in one’s life is recognized to be important for fostering education and well-being. Through research, the quality of man’s life has improved from conventional to modern; hence, life becomes not only meaningful but enriching as well. Passion and commitment is revealed through language and narrative, which necessitates a qualitative, interpretive approach to its study. Qualitative research has supplied rich data about the passion and commitment in teaching research for various cultures, populations, and activities, but to-date, there has not been a systematic review to identify if general patterns of passion and commitment exist in teaching research. Following a framework synthesis approach to qualitative meta-synthesis, the current exploratory study examined subjective experiences associated with teaching research to uncover elements of the passion and commitment of research. Four higher-order themes were discovered; research methods teaching in general, research empowerment, attitudes, and self-efficacy. Complex interconnections between themes also arose and are discussed.  Keywords: attitudes, commitment, empowerment, passion, self-efficacy, & teaching

ABSTRACT Objective: to carry out a documentary study on the legal aspects that support the nurses' performance in the Integrative and Complementary Practices (PIC) and to discuss the panorama of teaching, research, extension and nursing activities in front of PICs. Method: documentary study, whose units of analysis were normative, guidelines, recommendations and clarification notes (n = 17). The data were organized into two categories: "Legal aspects of nurses' performance in ICP and acupuncture" and "Overview of the use of ICPs by nursing in the areas of teaching, research, extension and assistance activities". Results: nurses stand out in the implementation of PIC since the principles of training are congruent to the paradigms of this science, besides having legal support for acting in public and private services in Brazil. There is an incipient movement of nurses working in research and extension in universities, which contributes to the diffusion of knowledge and application of therapies in the community. Conclusion: the institutionalization of PICs in the Unified Health System has increased access and contributed to the provision of comprehensive and multidisciplinary health services. Implications for practice: with ICPs, nurses have achieved autonomy and the possibility of expanding their performance, aiming at a better quality of care.

Writing Activity

The conduct of an action research enabled teachers to assess the research capabilities of the students specifically in writing the different parts of the paper. The aim of the study is to improve the learning acquisition of students through peer-mediated support strategies in teaching research. The participants of this study were the Senior High School students taking Research Project as a subject. A pre-writing activity was administered to identify the needs of the students in writing the different parts of the research. A learning plan integrating the use of the Peer-mediated Support Strategies (PMSS) such as classroom-wide peer tutoring, peer support arrangement and lunch bunches as interventions, was developed to improve the performance of the students-participants in writing research. A post-writing activity was given as well to the participants to find out if there were significant improvements in their writing capability. The study used methodological triangulation. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse and compare the results of the pre-writing and post-writing scores. A focus group discussion and teachers’ observation were conducted to support the result of the analysis made. The result was found to be significant proving PMSS to be an effective strategy in improving acquisition of learning. KEYWORDS: Research writing, acquisition of learning, peer-mediated support strategies, peer assisted learning, classroom-wide tutoring, peer-support arrangement, lunch bunches

<p>With the teaching reform gradually deepening, the examination reform system has progressed as well. Implementing the model of separation of teaching and test based on the construction of the test database enables teachers to focus more on teaching research activities, and innovate and reform in teaching methods. The construction of the test questions database can make the test questions more rational and standardized, and enable the students to pay more attention to the learning process, so as to improve the quality of education in ethnic universities.</p>

This is not an easy thing to do as turning the hand because it requires the cooperation of all faculty in the Department of Biology that is expected from day to day also always improve professionalism . Biology lecturer and intelligent professional, who can develop his professionalism in accordance with the challenges of globalization and the dynamics of global education  will be a living example for students majoring in Biology. Biology teacher candidates who are prospective professional and intelligent teacher who always want to learn throughout life, literati Science and technology, mastering the English language, capable of carrying out classroom action research, writing scientific papers diligent, capable students according to the needs and development of the era, as well as having intelligence thinking. They are also expected to have the ability to constantly develop the ability, can produce intelligent action, which is done with full responsibility, and is able to be recognized by the public in carrying out their duties in the field of education and learning. One effort that can be done by lecturers Biology is biology of learning by presenting to increase the independence of students in learning, and develop metacognitive skills. Lecturer builder courses should be worked together to give its share in coaching students to become teachers of Biology is the professional and intelligent. Lecturers should be an example and role model for prospective Biology teachers who cultivated because of their tendency to learn students more or less the same as how they be taught in LPTK.</p>
