the DoD. It admitted “there had been noticeable progress within the Department toward explicit embrace of stability operations as a core activity.” The bandwagoning to classify military activities seeking to achieve stability as “Stability Operations” is misguided. It creates confusing policy lines and organizational boundaries. Nearly any military activity has a direct or indirect connection to achieving stability somewhere on the globe. Grouping or labeling these as “Stability…
Language theories influence classroom practice? Dogme and Emergent Language theories both challenge the traditional teaching methods. A Dogme theory approaches teaching from a ‘materials light’ perspective, with very little to none of the classroom activities coming from a textbook or syllabus (Boyadzhieva, 2014, p. 783). The idea is to get the students’ to become autonomous learners and for them to come to the classroom with their own set of objectives. All tasks are interactional and…
At first, this study quantified the cost of CO on rural road maintenance contracts. Then the study identified the causes of CO and its preventative measures in road maintenance activities. Lastly the study developed change order contingency estimating tool and schedule crashing tool in order to assist in change management system of these contracts. The main conclusions and limitations of these three phase studies are described below. This study determined the amount of CO on road maintenance…
To earn 2 hours of seminar hours, I completed an online activity to familiarize myself with my basic rights as an employee and the right of my employer. Doing this activity helped me learn that it is my employers’ right to be open or closed any day that they choose. I used to think that most places had to be closed for Fourth of July or Thanksgiving; but the activity proved me wrong. I also learned that an employee can be fired for whatever reason, but if the…
Explain how social organisations and relationships affect the learning process. When children start school they are will go through short simple assessments to enable them to be put in a group of which an activity or task they are asked to complete is appropriate for their stage and level of learning. The learning process can be affected by many different things in a positive or less positive way. For example When a child has built a relationship with another child whom is more confident at…
Gomes). Some changes should be made for them such as short writing or more time to solve a test (GiGi’s PlayHouse). These children can perform normal activities, but may need some…
The creative curriculum opens up many doors for little minds. Children learn from doing things themselves through play. Three objectives in this activity are demonstrating balancing skills, solves problems, and demonstrating fine motor skills. I will change up the classroom just a little by bringing out new building blocks and other objects to build with and assigning tasks in each center to try that have to do with building and using fine motor skills. In this plan all children will be able to…
This was not only to get the actors used to the feel of the balls but also to even out the communication field. In this activity there was to be no talking or signing. As Britton says “the ‘real’ element of communication (the ball) is passed from one person to another” (p.330). I wish to take this communication and use it to break down the language barrier between the deaf…
pre-survey consisted of 20 questions that were answered on a Likert Scale with possible responses of strongly agree, agree, undecided/neither, disagree, or strongly disagree. The survey was to discover students’ attitudes toward math and group activities versus individual assignments. There were questions to determine how they viewed themselves as far as skill level and ability to learn mathematics. There were also questions to gauge the students’ personality as far as if they viewed…
Task switching is a habit that every individual has partaken in from time to time. Whether it be when someone is trying to do homework and listen to music or watch television and eat. Individuals most likely do not realize when they are performing two tasks at once. The current review provides a summary of previous research on this topic. First, the review will focus on the background of task switching, such as what it is. Second, it will focus on how the task switching works and how much…
