Problems of Development Today | Globalization101 - 0 views

  • the problems facing developing countries revolve around what are generally called “structural constraints” to development
  • a modern economy cannot function without a division and diversification of labor. Thus, countries with small populations may have trouble developing and gaining access to markets, while landlocked countries may struggle to integrate with global markets and expand their economies.
  • Other common constraints on development are high economic poverty, hunger, high mortality rates, unsafe water supplies, poor education systems, corrupt governments, war, and poor sanitation. These factors all combine to create what the World Bank calls “poverty traps”—cycles that must be broken for countries to develop

  • geographic advantages do not always result in sound development in cases when governments squander valuable natural resources. The World Bank, therefore, recommends that countries focus on six areas of policy to improve chances of development: Investment in education and health Increasing productivity of small farms Improving infrastructure (for example, roads) Developing an industrial policy to promote manufacturing Promoting democracy and human rights Ensuring environmental protection

The 7 Habits of Highly Employable People | Guy Arnold | LinkedIn - 0 views

  • Habit 1: Be Proactive
  • There is no such thing REALLY as unemployment: there are jobs for everyone, if they can only consider more ‘How to add value’ and less ‘what’s in it for me?’The REAL issue is ‘unemployability’ … in the mindset, skillset and habits of those looking for work : if this wasn’t the case, how would migrants ever stand a chance of getting work?
  • Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • Don’t just go for ‘anything that’ll pay a wage’, stop and work out what you’re truly great at, and what you love, and then start asking: ‘How can I get paid to do this?’
  • Habit 3: Put first things first
  • find out what ‘employable’ means to your target employers
  • Physical: appearance and habitsMental: knowledge and skillsEmotional: how to communicate and focus on the real winSpiritual: what can you bring to the party that will make the world a better (and more productive) place!When you’ve nailed this, you need to start finding out information about organisations in your target area and sector, and what their issues are (that you might be able to help them solve)
  • Then work on your CV and interview skills
  • Habit 4: Think win/win
  • consider: ‘what’s the win for this organisation?’: ‘What can I help them stop, start or continue doing, that would help them get more of the wins that they want?’
  • Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood
  • where do they do well, and where do they fall down? What are their competition doing? What’s happening in the market … now … and in 5 years time? What do their customers think? What customers are they missing? What sort of people would they be looking for? And why?
  • Do research on your target market and organisations
  • then, you can approach them to see how interested they might be in talking with you.
  • Habit 6: Synergise
  • Employment is synergy: if it fails to be synergy in any way, then it’s going to be short term at best.
  • the ‘employee’ and ‘employer’ should both find their situations significantly enhanced by teaming up and working constructively together. Together everyone achieves more!
  • Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
  • You need to sharpen your saw to be considered worth employing
  • You need to continually sharpen your saw while employed
  • You need to continually sharpen the saw outside work
  • No one in their right mind employs a blunt saw, but sharp saws make getting results much more rewarding for both parties.

      A table of specification (TOS) can be used to help teachers frame the decision making process of test construction and improve the validity of teachers' evaluations based on tests constructed for classroom use. 
    • izz aty
       
      A TOS, sometimes called a test blueprint, is a table that helps teachers align objectives, instruction, and assessment (e.g., Notar, Zuelke, Wilson, & Yunker, 2004). This strategy can be used for a variety of assessment methods but is most commonly associated with constructing traditional summative tests. When constructing a test, teachers need to be concerned that the test measures an adequate sampling of the class content at the cognitive level that the material was taught. The TOS can help teachers map the amount of class time spent on each objective with the cognitive level at which each objective was taught thereby helping teachers to identify the types of items they need to include on their tests. There are many approaches to developing and using a TOS advocated by measurement experts (e.g., Anderson, Krathwohl, Airasian, Cruikshank, Mayer, Pintrich, Raths, & Wittrock, 2001, Gronlund, 2006; Reynolds, Livingston, & Wilson, 2006).

TESL Malaysia » Recreation as a Learning Tool - 0 views

  • While ESL instructors provide the information and context of the English language, that alone may not always be effective for some students. Rather than continuing to simply provide them information in hopes they will permanently retain it, they need an opportunity to use their newly acquired English-speaking skills in the real world. This can be accomplished through an incorporation of social learning into any ESL curriculum.
  • by exposing students who are learning English to a world outside the classroom, they have the chance to interact with other people in a variety of social settings. Building confidence in their English speaking skills will build their eagerness to learn more. The goal of this method is, ideally, when they are done with school, they can go out on their own and thrive in an English-speaking society and communicate effectively in person, on the phone, and through email and social networks.

    According to the site's "Who We Are" section, they'll accept anonymously submitted "restricted or censored material of political, ethical, diplomatic or historical significance which is in some way connected to higher education, an agency or government body working in partnership with an institution, e.g., a university."
