The document discusses how to write an effective Statement of the Problem section for a thesis. It explains that the Statement of the Problem should present the global and local issues surrounding the research topic, provide evidence to support these issues, and argue for the importance of the study. Examples are provided from research studies on minority student achievement and Colombian reading comprehension to illustrate how statements can be supported by evidence from research, public opinion, and statistics. Potential sources for finding relevant evidence are also listed, including research articles, government websites, newspapers, and professional organizations.
Data collection is a one of the major important topic in research study, It should be clear and understandable to all students, especially in graduate studies

Assessing Progress
U.S. has not been in the top scoring countries on any major assessment since the early 1990s
However:
The U.S. has diverse student body each with unique challenges.
U.S. students typically progress to higher levels of education, skewing average scores down.
Concerns with improvement
Grade inflation and teaching to the test.
Assessments may not adequately measure creativity, social responsibility, professionalism, and friendliness (characteristics often inversely correlated with subject matter achievement).

Conclusion
· In education, the term at risk refers primarily to students who are at risk of school failure. As we discussed earlier, at risk actually means much more than flunking reading or math, or even dropping out of school. Yet from an educator’s perspective, educational concerns define at-risk issues. School problems and dropout are linked to many other problems expressed by young people (Suh, Suh, & Houston, 2007; Henry et al., 2009; Rumberger & Ah Lim, 2008). The strong relationships between school difficulties and other problems, as well as evidence that educational involvement is a protective factor influencing resilience (Search Institute, 2006), highlight the pivotal position of schools. In schools, prevention efforts can reach the greatest number of young people; therefore, examining the educational environment is critical.
THE VALUE OF EDUCATION
There are a number of indicators of the value placed on education in the United States. News reports compare the scores of students in the United States and in other countries on tests in geography and spelling, math and science. These reports consistently favor students in other countries. They imply that learning in U.S. schools is somehow not quite up to par. Does a student’s ability to spell reflect his or her ability to think? Does recall of dates, locations, or facts indicate a student’s problem-solving skills? The answer to these questions is “No.” Learning is the act of acquiring knowledge or a skill through observation, experience, instruction, or study, yet these comparisons suggest a view of learning that reduces this complicated act to an isolated and mechanical process. In addition, these comparisons often fail to note that in the United States all children are expected to attend school through high school graduation, not just wealthy or middle-class urban or college-bound students.
How learning is valued is also reflected in the following statistics. In 2000, the average household income was about $55,000 (Census Bureau, 2001). Nearly 10 years later, the average teac ...

Second-Language Learning
by Carla Thomas McClure
WHILE EDUCATION RESEARCH
has long suggested that studying second
languages in K12 schools boosts student
achievement in other content areas, the
current testing emphases on mathematics
and reading has placed foreign language
instruction relatively low on district pri-
ority lists. However, a growing body of
research indicates that second-language
learning should be bumped up signifi-
cantly, as demonstrated particularly in
the following areas.
Potential Benefits
Cognitive ability. Numerous stud-
ies document a positive relationship
between early second language learning
and improved mental processes, includ-
ing conceptual learning (Archibald, 2006;
Robinson, 1998). For example, a recent
experiment with 104 six-year-olds found
those who spoke two languages were bet-
ter at switching from one task to another,
an indicator of their ability to manage
attention (Barac & Bialystok, 2012).
Achievement gains. Dumas (1999)
examined the test scores of 13,200 third-
and fifth-grade students in Louisiana and
found that those studying a foreign lan-
guage performed better on the state assess-
ment in English than those not enrolled
in a foreign language class, regardless of
race, gender, and overall academic per-
formance. Curtain and Dahlberg (2004)
noted in other studies that learning a sec-
ond language seems especially beneficial
to the academic achievement of children
from minority and low-income families.
College and career readiness. One
in four institutions of higher education
requires applicants to study a foreign
language to gain admission, and one in
two requires students to fulfill a language
requirement during college to receive an
undergraduate degree (Lusin, 2012).
Program Implementation
Research and data indicate that imple-
menting a foreign language program that
contributes to such improvements in
students’ achievement and preparedness
will require schools and districts to do
the following:
Establish a sequenced instructional
program. The Center for Applied Lin-
guistics (CAL) recommends sequenced
preK-to-college programs of sufficient
strength to help students become highly
proficient in a second language.
Start early. Children who receive sec-
ond-language instruction before middle
school are more likely to speak the lan-
guage fluently. Further, young children
who master a second language seem more
able than monolinguals to master addi-
tional languages later in life. A study of
Second-Language Learning Fast-Facts
According to an American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL)
survey, in 2007-2008:
18% of U.S. public school students were enrolled in foreign language courses
40% of those enrolled in a foreign language were in California, Texas, New York,
Florida, or Pennsylvania

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

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
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.
