Inter-Services Intelligence

The notion of intelligence has attracted scholars and educators. The traditional conception of intelligence rests largely upon a monolithic, static view of intelligence. Spearman (1904) made the first theoretical attempt to describe intelligence proposing his g model (g for general) .This theoretical model was the outcome of the measurement of psychological abilities. He believed in the existence of a “common underlying ability or force serving as the basis for all our mental/intellectual…

A learner centred approach (LCA) is a method of training which attempts to involve learners in the learning process (Le-Ha, 2014). Both what is learnt and the way in which it is learnt is therefore shaped by the learners’ needs, interests and capacities (Le-Ha, 2014). In addition to enabling effective learning, the aim of this approach is to develop vital skills such as critical thinking and problem solving (Coetzee, 2013). This essay will argue that the implementation of this technique will…

The purpose of this research paper was to discuss an overview of the semantic and structural memories and to examine which one of the two have better recall retention. Semantic memories store information through personal events and adding meaning to it, an example would be associating words as unpleasant or pleasant. In another hand, structural memory is obtaining information of what an individual sees, an example would be seeing if a word is upper case or lower case. Evidence suggests semantic…

3.3 Benefits of CALL While there are those who are still skeptical about the use of a computer to teach language (an inherently human activity), the many benefits of a CALL program have been generally accepted. Some of these come from the general field of CAI, while some are specific to language learning. Individualization Probably the most important benefit is that of individualization and learner autonomy. With a CALL program, learners can work at their own pace and control their own learning…

Sheltered Instruction and SIOP Model® Each year, more and more children who speak a language other than English are attending the public schools, according to the Center for Public Education (2007). Their website states, “Nearly every district faces the challenge of helping these children become proficient in the English language while also providing them with a high-quality education.” Sheltered instruction is an educational strategy with proven success in helping ELL students develops…

Protocols for small group work in the classroom are methods, or systems that are put in place before commencing group work, to help people work together and aid small groups to run efficiently. Four protocols that that encourage effective group work are elements in planning, levels of group development, exercises for group work and benefits of group work (Whitton, 2016). The protocol of having elements in planning concerns the type and size of small groups. There are many ways a teacher can form…

• Introduction: In order to help students become engaged and motivated I will begin class with an interactive choral response activity, which will help students with their fluency. I will explain to students that we will count to 20 both backwards and forwards and in order to know whether to count up or down students will need to watch my hands/fingers for the signals. When I point my finger up students will count forward, when I point my finger down students will count backwards, and when I…

The app I’ve chosen to modify is noredink.com. It is a writing and grammar-based app designed to provide learners leveled practice in grades K-12. It uses “high interest content” based on student interests and names. Practice lessons are adaptive to each students’ needs, so there is no set number questions. The app also includes a diagnostic feature and quizzes with feedback. Teachers can assign specific lessons or the lessons are scaffolded in complexity. While sentences and practice…

Chapter eight looks at how blending younger and older generations enhances each other’s abilities. Either generation can become the student or the teacher, because so much has changed that either generation can give knowledge of how they learned (Beynon & Alfano pg121). Chapter eight includes two case studies that deal with the blending of the older and younger generations. The first case study deals with a boys and men’s choir. The Amabile Boys and Men’s Choirs case study provided that the…
