The first thing that strikes about education is knowledge gain. Education gives us knowledge of the world around us. People debate over the subject of whether education is the only thing that gives knowledge. Some say, education is the process of gaining information about the surrounding world while knowledge is something very different.
Toward Society 3.0: A New Paradigm for 21st century educationJohn Moravec
The convergence of globalization, the emergence of the knowledge society and accelerating change contribute to what might be best termed a New Paradigm of knowledge production in education. The New Paradigm reflects the emerging shifts in thought, beliefs, priorities and practice in regard to education in society. While the three component trends in the new paradigm are not unknown to educational leaders, discussion of the trends as elements of a larger system is largely absent. These new patterns of thought and belief are forming to harness and manage the chaos, indeterminacy, and complex relationships of the postmodern. This lecture provides a macro-level perspective of these three phenomena as they impact education at all levels. Such perspectives provide insight to leaders throughout the world on how educational institutions relate to the New Paradigm of knowledge production. The lecture then explores "what's next" as we build from the New Paradigm to co-construct Education 3.0 to complement Society 3.0.

Diversity in Teacher Education Programs in Literacy and Reading: A Nationwide...suesharma
The world is becoming increasingly more diverse in our nation’s classrooms. One critical aspect of respecting diversity as well as using it as a means to strengthen students’ educational experiences and academic outcomes is how the issue of diversity plays out in American teacher education programs in literacy and reading. International Reading Association’s (IRA) Committee on Learning Diversity has undertaken a national study to examine this issue.
This PowerPoint presentation aims to educate young minds. To give them concept about teaching strategies especially those who are aspiring to be a teacher. This will serve as their guide in managing the students attitude inside a classroom. And handling students to be able for them to actively participate in a classroom discussion.
The outcomes for students with Emotional/Behavior Disorders are glim at best. This is the state of outcomes and the rational for change in the way we service and educate this population of student.
LEARNING STYLES & ATTITUDES OF STUDENTS TOWARD MODULAR LEARNING IN MAYOYAO ...azolllboocan
This research delves into the challenges posed by the shift to modular learning at Mayoyao National High School during the pandemic, focusing on the learning styles and attitudes of Grade 11 HUMMS students. The study, employing a descriptive qualitative approach, explores the diverse approaches students employ in modular learning and their corresponding attitudes. Findings reveal sequential, verbal, and technology-dependent learning styles, emphasizing the importance of tailored and supportive approaches. Collaborative learning experiences, time management skills, and a spectrum of attitudinal responses are crucial aspects. The recommendations underscore the need for customizable learning paths, technology integration, and fostering collaborative environments. The study concludes that recognizing and addressing the intricate relationship between learning styles, attitudes, and modular learning experiences are key in optimizing academic outcomes for students. The impact on academic performance highlights the influence of tailoring instruction, promoting collaborative learning, emphasizing time management, and fostering a positive learning environment. Ultimately, the research provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers aiming to enhance modular learning outcomes in the face of unprecedented educational challenges.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Editor's Notes
Throughout all of the standard educational systems, there appears to be an absolute need for a reform. All that we hold true about education such as the structure of motivation, the means by which one learns, the role of environment, and the attitudes one holds towards their own goals has been shown to be faulty The results of numerous surveys, as well as testimonials and statistics have shown this fact. To begin with, we believe it may be beneficial to look at some of these statistics on education. In the 2000 Census, it was shown that one in every three Americans dropped out of college. A mere six years prior to this Census, approximately 3.4 million people age 16 to 24 were listed as high school drop outs.
These statistics are not only startling, but extremely disheartening when viewed in the context of the economic and occupational obstacles place on an average college or high school dropout. For those who never graduate high school, they are immediately forced to enter the work force under an occupation that will accept applicants with no higher educational history. Those people who drop out of college have a somewhat lighter burden in terms of career options than the high school dropout, but these individuals will enter the work place with considerable debt from student loans and still fairly bleak job prospects. Very few of these college drop outs have returned to complete their degrees. To further the need of a reform in education, few colleges and universities have strategies to promote student retention, instead placing the blame upon the students themselves.When college dropouts are surveyed about their reasons for leaving academia, they often state that their expectations of college— both academic and social—don’t match up with the reality once they get there. They also suffer from lack of motivation, inadequate preparation, and poor study skills.
In this study, we propose that by examining the student first, and seeking to understand their attitude and relationship with the process of learning, education can become a sensemaking/meaning-making endeavor, thus inspiring greater involvement on behalf of the student and hopefully leading to a much more successful educational system. Our most ambitious goal is to inspire a radical change in the educational paradigm, leading to a means of educating that will benefit both the individual as well as society as a whole. I will now turn the presentation over to my colleagues, so that they might explain our research and testing further.
After going through the available literature, we were struck by a few points in particular. First, that the most recent studies showed that the commonly accepted ideas in education were demonstrably faulty. Everything from successful studying habits to how students are motivated – the currently accepted models still in use in education have been invalidated by study after study. To this end, we wanted to develop a measure that would seek to explore how college students relate to their education. We wanted to create a meta-construct, a measure that would examine the student’s cultural orientation, learning style, and optimal learning environment. The measurement would present a series of questions which would hopefully allow the student to express their own unique approach to learning. The results of the measurement would be a code, a “student portrait” which showed
The measurement would present a series of questions which would hopefully allow the student to express their own unique approach to learning. The results of the measurement would be a code, a “student portrait.” The student portrait could be used in much the same way as the Myers-Briggs Personality Types. One code communicates a great deal about the student and allows teachers, administrators and parents to understand the unique nature of the student rather than education being approached as a one system working for all model of learning.We would even propose that once enough data was collected perhaps schools themselves could change, adapting classrooms to the students to achieve the most effective results.
The term and concept of Cultural Orientation is unique to one work in particular, that of the sociological studies of Mary Grigsby. The categories are as follows:Careerist. Students who are driven by aspiration to enter into a chosen career field, and are mainly concerned with activities that will help them reach that goal, and ambivalent towards their other coursework that they feel is unrelated.Credentialist. Those students who view college as merely a means to an end, and see their courses as the stepping stones towards their ultimate goal achieving a degree, which is to them a symbol of high status in society.Collegiate. Students who view their college experience as a coming of age process, and are more concerned with developing and maintaining relationships with their peers than their studies.Academic. Students who are driven by the pursuit of knowledge for its intrinsic value, and become deeply involved in all of their coursework, regardless of the subject.Alternative. Studentswhose primary interests lie outside of the college atmosphere, such as those who are politically active or aspiring artists, and seek coursework that pertains to their chosen interest above all else. We adapted these terms for use in the measurement.
As the recent literature suggests, a new exploration into how students learn is necessary. In the majority of the new research, the connection between learning and motivation is stressed. This leads us to take up the Index of Learning Styles (ILS), as created by Felder and Soloman. Felder and Soloman’s model of learning assess motivation by means of exploring preferences with students in regards to their education. The ILS consists of four scales: Sensing (concrete, practical, orientated toward theories and underlying meanings) or intuitive (conceptual, innovative, orientated toward theories and underlying meanings). Visual (prefer visual representations of presented material, such as pictures, diagrams, and flow charts) or verbal (prefer written and spoken explanations) Active (learn by trying things out, enjoy working in groups) or reflective (learn by thinking things through, prefer working alone or with one or two familiar partners) Sequential (linear thinking process, learn in incremental steps) or global (holistic thinking process, learn in large leaps)
Educational Environment The available literature on educational environments is divisive to say the least. The “traditional environment” (uniform structure of classroom layout, instructor focused, even assignment of coursework to students) has been the dominant paradigm in Western academic history. Some of these practices included structured meeting environments, concrete learning guidelines and goals, an educational ‘hierarchy’ in the sense of active classroom competition, and dutiful reception of the teacher’s instruction.Certain progressive learning approaches have begun being developed in the recent years. These Progressives knew that there were certain learning issues that traditional learning environments did not quell. Progressive instruction takes a more holistic approach to learning than traditional instruction, which tends to focus more on specific areas of learning (Hampel). Progressive education tends to value many outside-of-class studies, so that the students can take a ‘hands-on’ approach to learning. They will often focus on kinesthetic learning practices, as opposed to auditory or visual.
We began with the step by step development of the measure, utilizing different styles of questions with each draft. First there was open ended questions, seeking to let the participant answer the questions about their experiences with education using their own language rather than preset terms. Secondly we explored using terms that were commonly accepted, trying to gauge how difficult finding a middle ground for all potential participants would be.Lastly, we developed our pilot which was comprised of 160 questions. This was administered to over 25 college students. Common complaints from the participants were the length of the measure and the wording of certain questions being vague and ambiguous.
