How learning gains and Quality Assurance are (mis)Aligned: An Interactive Wor...Bart Rienties
In the last five years there is an increased interest across the globe to define, conceptualise, and measure learning gains. The concept of learning gains, briefly summarised as the improvement in knowledge, skills, work-readiness and personal development made by students during their time spent in higher education, has been hailed by some as an opportunity to measure “excellence” in teaching. However, whether learning gains could be useful for quality assurance can be debated. This interactive workshop aims to provide an open platform to
discuss the opportunities and limitations of learning gains for quality assurance.

Help! I have a sick school! Principal and Teacher Evaluations Can HealSusan Labadi
Evaluations are a tool of professional development and school improvement. With a commitment toward self-appraisal and collaborative accountability, evaluations can help us in personal growth and improve the climate of our schools. Yet, the critical factors are a buy-in to the advantages, and a sincere supportive management structure must demonstrate humility while also functioning as a coach.
Relationship of Self-Efficacy to Stages of Concerns in the Adoption of Innova...Amber D. Marcu, Ph.D.
In this research, it was proposed that self-efficacy is the missing underlying psychological factor in innovation diffusion models of higher education. This is based upon research conducted in the fields of innovation-diffusion in higher education, technology adoption, self-efficacy, health and behavioral change. It was theorized that if self-efficacy is related to adoption, it could provide a quick-scoring method for adoption efficiency and effectiveness that would be easy to administer. The innovation-diffusion model used in this study was Hall and Hord\'s (1987) Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM) and it\'s Seven Stages of Concern (SoC) About an Innovation. The SoC measures a user\'s perception of"and concerns about"an innovation over time. The self-efficacies under study were general, teaching, and technology. The scales used in this research instrument were Chen\'s New General Self-Efficacy (NGSE), Prieto\'s College Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale (CTSES), and Lichty\'s Teaching with Technology Self-efficacy scale (MUTEBI), respectively. This research hoped to uncover a relationship between self-efficacies and a Stage of Concern in the adoption of an instructional technology innovation, Google Apps for Education, at a large university institution. Over 150 quantitative responses were collected from a pool of 1,713 instructional faculty between late Fall 2012 and early Spring 2013 semesters. The response group was not representative of the larger population. Forty-six percent represented non-tenure track faculty compared to the expected 19 percent. Analysis using nominal logistic regression between self-efficacy and Stages of Concern revealed that no statistically significant relationship was found. Of note is that nearly all participants could be classified as being in the early-stages of an innovation adoption, possibly skewing the overall results.

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.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. What is Mixed Methods?
January 24, 2018 Workshop on Advanced Methods in Youth Mentoring Research
• Numeric vs. non-numeric ways of representing the world
• Strengths and weaknesses of each
• Complexity of goals of mentoring research
“the combination of words and numbers can bring us closer to the complexity of
developmental change by providing divergent as well as convergent data”
(Yoshikawa, Weisner, Kalil & Way, 2008, p. 345).
“A Baconian search for first-order interactions is no more sensible a strategy than the
empirical searches limited to main effects that I had criticized. Human events reflect
innumerable interactions among planned and unplanned features of situations, so
subtler observation of the interplay between person characteristics and situational
variables is needed. Where once I had called for teaming experimental and
correlational methods to pin down more general and hence more lasting truths, I
now proposed greater reliance on rich description, recognizing that a social-science
"conclusion" is only a record of an event at a moment in history.” [Cronbach, L. J.
(1989). Lee J. Cronbach. In G. Lindzey (Ed.), A history of psychology in autobiography Vol. VIII
(pp. 62–93). Stanford University Press: Stanford University Press, pg. 86]
4. Mixed Methods: Drawing on strengths of
Quant & Qual data and analytic techniques
• Quantitative Studies
• Seek generalizability
• Control for variables that are associated with context
• Positivist & post-positivist paradigms
• Qualitative Studies
• Examines qualities, meanings, and processes within natural
settings
• Exploring the construction of meanings rather than measuring
their quantity
• Transferability, not generalizability
• Interpretive and constructivist paradigms

• Level of Integration (or mixing) of the methods
• partial or full
• Order in which methods are used
• concurrently or sequentially
• Priority given to one method in relation to each other
• which method is dominant
• Goals of the method with regards to the research questions
• e.g., exploration, confirmation, triangulation, etc.
January 24, 2018 Workshop on Advanced Methods in Youth Mentoring Research
7. Integration issues (Cresswell & colleagues, 2003):
1) the research questions/purpose (e.g., confirmation vs. exploration)
2) the type of data collection (e.g., numeric vs. non-numeric data)
3) the intent of analysis (e.g., descriptive or inferential statistics vs.
descriptive thematic analysis)
4) interpretation of the results (e.g., generalization vs. particularization)

• Analyzed post-program interviews dyadically (n= 72 mentors; 72 mentees)
• Misattunement differentiated high and low satisfaction relationships
• Mentors in high satisfaction relationships indicated misattunement but
mentees did not
• Those mentors were more self-reflective about the misattunement than
mentors in low satisfaction relationships
