The History of Teaching Reading is not Very Old

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

 What people in American don’t seem to realize is this country was made by homeschooling. It was one of the few times in America when most children could read and write and they were taught in covered wagons trekking into the wilderness. I can still remember one of the early TV programs ‘Little House On The Prairie’ where the kids had to learn their reading and writing. It was actually a theme that ran through the whole program.

 


Schools have been around for a long time but they were mainly for the wealthy and elites of society. In the history of teaching reading there was a very big step about 100 years ago when Maria Montessori started teaching learning and mentally disabled children in Italy.

She brought out the system of learning phonics with sandpaper letters and her disabled kids were learning to read faster than the children in the village school. But as Maria was not politically motivated her system never took off in mainstream schools.

Mainstream schools usually switch between phonics and whole word or whole language system, depending on which political force is in play at the moment.

The main problem with reading is a lot of students will learn to read no matter what system is in place but it has been shown that phonics helps children who are struggling to learn reading. Success in learning to read depends more on the enthusiasm, ability and energy of the teachers and children than on any particular teaching method.

But that has not stopped politics getting involved with how to teach reading. The history of teaching reading in basically a history of how politics influences schools. And if the government is paying the schools then they have the clout.

Forensics Classes – Help Your Teen Build A Pursuit Inside The Sciences In A Very Realistic Approach

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

Under the television influence of prime shows like CSI: Miami, a lot of people’s imagination has been fired simply by the possibility of new professions in law enforcement. A lot of pupils are actually applying for forensics lessons in middle schools and high schools. The opinions in favor and against such programs are divided and a hot argument has been initiated.

The advocates of forensics courses declare that such programs keep kids and adolescents’ fascination vivid, but right now there are other critical voices that fear this may result in converting violence into something sensational. Furthermore, the actual ethical inquiries would be more or less disturbing and also the moral concerns are not to be overlooked at all.

The actual procedure for forensics lessons should be very careful and schools should primarily focus on training people for a good social and citizen life. Thoughts differ even amongst teachers. The creation of the subject within the curriculum has already involved the implication of two hundred United states teachers in forensics classes.

Regardless of the concerns involved, several very good results have been announced as well. Common biology will barely trigger the same kind of student involvement as forensics classes. Numerous parents will still object to the courses, and it appears that the controversy is not even close to over.

When science is the principal interest and not physical violence and the sensation it generates, then forensics lessons might have a future and prove pertinent to educational objectives. The actual pupils perception of these courses will undoubtedly be swayed by the teacher’s collection of didactic resources.

A further clarification is essential here also: forensics classes elective, not required. Students might not enlist for them if their mother and father have objections or should they be not enthusiastic about the topic. No matter the case, forensic courses are new stuff and not exactly progressive in terms of social impact.

To be sincere, it is very hard to assume an objective position in relation with forensics lessons, and even those who consider they could remain neutral, may have mixed emotions about such enterprises. On the 1 hand we may express concern about the future of schooling, but alternatively it is pretty obvious why such courses are appealing and interesting.

Science seems to receive much more focus when it is analyzed within the context of criminal justice, but who is to blame for the problem? The answer to these dilemmas is most definately not simple or easy, nevertheless one thing is for certain, alterations are taking place right before our eye balls and at times there’s nothing we can do about them. We could either agree to it or combat it!

Spain Has A Very Low Density Of The World?S Top Universities

Monday, July 13th, 2009

The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) is produced by the Institute of Higher Education at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Several indicators of academic or research performance are used to establish the ranking, these include highly cited researchers, articles indexed in major citation indices and staff winning Nobel Prizes.

The World’s Top-500 universities (2008) are mainly located in Europe (n=210; 40%), the Americas (n=190; 40%) and the Asian/Pacific region (n=100; 20%). There are nine universities located in Spain, representing 2% of the World’s Top-500 universities and 4% of the European universities in the ARWU ranking.

The Top-6 universities in Spain are: 1. University of Barcelona (ranked 152-200 in the world); 2. University Autonoma of Madrid (201-302), 2. University Complutense – madrid; 4. University Autonoma Barcelona (303-401), 4. University Polytechnic Valencia (303-401) and 4. University of Valencia (303-401). This means that the top universities are located in three largest urban centres of Spain (Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia) and the top university is not located in the capital city.

All six universities are public institutions and the total number of students per university is relatively large compared to other countries (e.g. United States, United Kingdom and the Netherlands). The average number of students for the Top-6 universities is 55,416, with a range from 33,118 at the University Autonoma of Madrid to 91,251 at the University Complutense – Madrid.

In order to make inter-country comparisons, AllAboutUni calculates the number of universities in the World’s Top-500 per million inhabitants. The overall number of universities per million inhabitants is 0.5 for industrialized countries. An earlier assessment found that small countries in Western Europe (Sweden (1.2), Finland (1.1) and Switzerland (1.0)) and New Zealand (1.2) has the highest number of universities per million inhabitants.

The number of universities in the World’s Top-500 universities that are located in Spain is 0.2 per million inhabitants. Other large industrialized countries have the following figures: Australia (0.7), the Netherlands (0.7), United Kingdom (0.7), Canada (0.6), United States (0.5), Germany (0.5), France (0.4), Italy (0.4), Japan (0.2) and South Korea (0.2). This means that the performance of Spain is very low compared to other industrialized countries. For example, Sweden has six times more universities in the ARWU ranking (per million inhabitants) than Spain.

In conclusion, Spain performs poorly when its universities are compared to other industrialized countries in the world. It does not have a university in the World’s Top-100, its best university (the University of Barcelona) is only ranked 152-200 and it has a very low density of top universities per million inhabitants compared to other industrialized countries.
