Parental Expectations for International Schools in the Digital Age
Get PDFThis study aims to explain the expectations parents have in sending their children to study in international schools in Nonthaburi, Thailand, in terms of teaching and learning courses, management reputation, the building location, and the schools' adaptation to the digital age. A qualitative approach was employed as a research strategy. Purposive sampling was used in in-depth interviews. The data were analysed using content analysis. The results showed that parents have expectations in sending children to study in international schools in the digital age, in Nonthaburi, Thailand, in four aspects. For teaching and learning courses, parents expect that these courses will teach students to be creative and assertive. For the management reputation, parents expect that the school will have a good reputation with a quality of teaching that is reliable. They expect a good image of effective and clear management policies. For the building location, parents expect to have a safe building with sufficient facilities. For the adaptation to the digital age, parents expect that there will be lessons on how to use electronic devices and various online media. Children should be taught how to avoid dangers from using them. Children will get the opportunity to use modern technological equipment. This study may be beneficial to education business groups and international schools, which can use data from the research in planning, improving, or formulating business strategies, as well as developing the education system to adjust to improvements in technology and beyond

Pitfalls of Teachers on Modular Distance Learning: Basis for a Proposed Action Plan
Get PDFThe study was conducted to determine the pitfalls encountered by grade five teachers during modular teaching and learning. Specifically, it aimed to find out the pitfalls encountered by teachers along with students’ comprehension, students’ academic behavior, monitoring of students’ education, and physical interaction with the learners. The personal profile of teachers, out of the total respondents (56), most of the teachers are female-dominated. Most of them belong to the age bracket of 34 to 45 and most of the teachers are married. Most of the teachers had attended post-graduate studies. Most respondents are still young in the service, holding Teacher 2 and Teacher 3 positions, and attending local, national, and regional training. On the level of pitfalls encountered by teachers in modular teaching and learning, most respondents experienced a slight gravity level in the four aspects. The computed average weighted mean along comprehension is 2.50, along academic behavior is 2.54, along monitoring of students’ performance is 2.58, and along physical interaction is 2.79. All have an equivalent value of moderately grave. There is a specific profile of teachers that is significantly related. Age is significantly associated with monitoring students’ learning. The computed r value is .270, while the calculated significance level is 0.04. Training attended by the teachers is significantly related to some aspects of students’ comprehension, (computed sig. value is 0.04 and physical interaction is .02), which is lower than the .05 level of significance. The grade five teachers who served as respondents are mostly female dominated; they are in their early forties and married. Most of them are attending post-graduate studies and have attended relevant training. Second, the level of teachers’ pitfalls is mostly moderately grave. In addition, age is significantly related to monitoring, training is significantly associated substantially with physical interaction and comprehens
Los principios FAIR y el Proyecto Humboldt Digital. Una confrontación
Get PDFEste capítulo tiene por objetivo principal analizar los Principios FAIR y los retos de implementación encontrados al intentar aplicarlos en el Proyecto Humboldt Digital. El trabajo presenta una confrontación entre, por un lado, cuatro principios abstractos diseñados para definir y evaluar los resultados de la investigación en términos técnicos y, por el otro, las dificultades derivadas de la falta de infraestructura tecnológica y del contexto cultural, así como de la naturaleza propia de los registros archivísticos. Tras la introducción, el capítulo se divide en tres partes: en primer lugar, se revisa la función de la crítica cultural en las Humanidades Digitales y se lleva a cabo una relectura crítica de los Principios FAIR; en segundo lugar, se explica la conceptualización del proyecto; por último, se analizan los retos de implementación más relevantes. Se concluye poniendo en valor una aproximación crítica a la tecnología digital y recomendado la aplicación de los Principios FAIR junto con otros principios más sensibles al contexto cultural como la filosofía minimal computing, los Principios para el Desarrollo Digital o los Principios CARE
Active-Learning Revision Clinics
Get PDFTeaching the fundamentals of writing composition shouldn't be boring. It should be active, engaging, and EMPOWERING! Most students, whether they consciously articulate it or not, want to vanquish their writing anxiety. They want to develop confidence in their ability to compose and revise strong prose that will help them thrive in coursework and the workplace. These students, however, enter writing-intensive college courses with an increasingly-limited foundation in compositional knowledge. While they may have “written a lot” in previous high school and college classes, few have taken classes grounded in teaching the mechanics and fundamentals necessary to break down writing, diagnose and articulate underperforming elements, and strategically implement revisions. Students have a right to their own language and their own voice, and teaching the building blocks of sentence and paragraph composition should not be defined as a way to "standardize" English. Quite the opposite! Students are more likely and better able to craft and communicate their authentic voice when they understand the building blocks of sentence and paragraph composition. But this kind of "down in the sentence" instruction takes times and careful scaffolding.
This instructor’s guide provides educators with a series of active-learning-based lesson plans (or "revision clinics") designed to teach concrete revision strategies at the sentence and paragraph level. These lessons focus on empowering students to become autonomous editors of their own and others’ writing by addressing their skill gaps in identifying weak, underperforming writing and revising it for strategic impact. The lesson plans, templates, and accompanying notes we provide are rooted in active learning pedagogy – the philosophy that students acquire skills more effectively when they engage directly in the learning process in a hands-on way
UNVEILING THE ‘TRUE LIGHT’: BRICK CRYPTOGRAMS AT ST. GEORGE CHURCH IN STARO NAGORIČINO
Get PDFThis article delves into the intriguing ΦΧΦΠ cryptograms on the west facade of the St. George Church in Staro Nagoričino, shedding light on their connection to the era of King Milutin and their profound theological significance. It explores the convergence of architecture and symbolism, focusing on these cryptograms as a representation of the “True Light” within Christianity and its correlation to the concept of victory. The study delves into the influence of the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts. It investigates how placing these cryptograms above the church’s doorway resonates with architectural and spiritual narratives. It examines the architectural features of the church’s west façade, reflecting King Milutin’s depiction on the north wall and his role as the “New Constantine.” The cryptogram ΦΧΦΠ ( “The light of Christ shines upon all”) is strategically placed above the bifora in the central axis of the facade, marking the four sides of the Cross. The motif depicting the true light coming into the world is painted on both sides of the interior of the west entrance, creating a liminal space. This motif references the ancient Biblical verse from the Gospel of John 1:9: “The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world”. Apart from the biblical reference, the patronage inscriptions and the prayerful mention of King Stefan Uroš II Milutin Nemanjić and Queen Simonis are also highlighted. Their names are inscribed on the lintel of the portal. This study uncovers the intricate symbolism and architectural nuances of the St. George Church in Staro Nagoričino, shedding light on the interplay of liturgical and historical context in this remarkable Byzantine architectural gem
