SOC 463/663 (Social Psych of Education) - Tracking & Ability Grouping
This document provides an overview of ability grouping and tracking in education. It discusses the origins of tracking in response to increasing student diversity in the early 20th century. Students were initially sorted into academic, general, and vocational tracks in high school. Modern tracking involves grouping students by ability within subjects like math and English. Research shows tracking can negatively impact the achievement of lower-tracked students by providing them weaker instruction, while higher-tracked students benefit from more rigorous curricula and experienced teachers. The debate around tracking centers on whether it prepares students for their futures or serves to reproduce the social hierarchy.

Korea case study - Education Policy
Experiencing tough history and indigence after war, investing in and training human resources became a
priority task for the government. Education has thus been key in the reconstruction and growth of the
country. While Korea quickly attained high level of enrollment and performance, this success didn’t come
without drawbacks. The intense competition in education gradually led to seriously jeopardize student’s well-being.

Socio political context of school subject
This document discusses the socio-political context of school subjects. It notes that the approach to school subjects depends on different ideologies such as Plato's view of focusing on manual skills and crafts. Liberal and progressive views see education as developing the individual based on their interests and needs. School subjects should be based on social, cultural, and political phenomena. The document also outlines the structure of schooling in India from pre-school through higher education and discusses dichotomous views of schooling for university versus for everyday life.
Argumentative Essay Topics &Points
Allowing students to rate their teachers could have benefits. Students have first-hand experience in the classroom and can provide feedback on a teacher's teaching ability, subject knowledge, and ability to engage and connect with students. Their feedback could help identify both good teachers and those needing improvement, leading to better quality of education. However, there are also concerns such as students grading teachers poorly due to personal dislikes rather than objective evaluation of teaching. Overall, student ratings may help improve teacher quality if implemented with safeguards against purely subjective ratings.

Education
Here are some potential working class and middle class values based on the card sort:
Working class values:
- Prioritise leisure time over studying
- Value physical work over academic achievement
- Emphasise respect for authority figures like teachers
Middle class values:
- Emphasise academic achievement and qualifications
- Value independence, curiosity and questioning authority
- See education as investment in child's future career

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Freeing schools from bands that bind
- 1. Freeing schools from bands that bind
- 2. Background Knowledge • Introduced by government in 1993 as RANKING (1 to 50) (pre-Information era) to enlighten parents about the standards of 50 top secondary and tertiary institutions • With 62% of students not going to tertiary education, needed to spur them to work harder and have a thirst for competition • Changed to banding in 2004 (group several schools into one band)
- 3. Background Knowledge • Added other CCA/Character Development awards (and we all know how competitive we are…) • Removed banding in 2012, as “Every school is a good school”: focus more on the non-academic aspects – Argument: For IP schools is banding still valid? • Another note about IP: There are already 18 of them, not that rare so are they really the best? – Won’t parents make their own ranking for personal uses? • They were born of the generation which had ranks in the first place…
- 4. The Banding System: Merits • Spurring schools to do better • (In 2004) Banding system looked at other extracurricular activities as well • Students able to realistically set goals and work toward them • Bottom line: Encourages “meritocracy” from competition between schools and students
- 5. The Banding System: Demerits • STILL doesn’t solve issue of post-graduation life • Segregation of students and schools into “good” and “bad” – “Pressure cooker”: people want to escape/emigrate • (before 2004) Schools: more on academics less on other subjects (e.g. art, music)
- 6. The Banding System: Demerits • Students forced to drop subjects of interest – Cannot do well academically – Has to let go because: • Time needed for other subjects e.g. Math • Seen as cause of “failure at school” • “Marketization” of schools (which wasn’t supposed to happen anyway) • Nurturing the “better” students just for examinable usage
- 7. Alignment with role of education • More emphasis on imbuing character values: what education should cover aside from academic information • Removal of banding will reduce the stress and “information transfer” part of Singaporean education
- 8. If I was in the hot seat…. • The banding cannot really be gotten rid of so long as students and parents are still competitive @ education. • If banding is to exist place greater emphasis on non-academic subjects • Allow students to pursue their own interests • It will take time to get rid of kiasu mindset: educate the public!
