Teachers are involved in three different types of planning, long, medium and short term which is centred on the curriculum requirements for the specific key stage and year group that they are working in, in order to promote pupils’ individual skills and progress in learning. Long term plans would give a brief outline of the subjects to be studied for the academic year. Medium term plans are set out termly or half termly and provide more in-depth details with an overview of the topics and…
Documentation was in the manuals and training was given by trainers. But when documentation is being delivered through Web and e-learning, which is becoming more and more popular, it is less evident, at least from the user's point-of-view, which is which. I argue here that it should not actually matter. The only thing that should matter is that we ensure that the users get the information they need, when they need it, and in the format that best suits their needs. Perhaps writing long…
aural, read/ write, kinesthetic and multimodal. This finding is in disagreement with Felder (1993), who is one of few researchers to report that an association exists between 90 Victor Mlambo a student’s learning preference, teaching style and academic performance. Apart from Felder’s work, there is a general lack of experimental evidence to support the effectiveness of aligning instruction methods with learning preferences. The lack of association between learning preferences…
Presently, around the world there is an abundance of circumstances surrounding children behaving inappropriately. One can see such negative acts in a public setting, such as a local park where there may be many children playing together. In the midst of this group there is always that one child that is throwing a temper tantrum because he or she was the last one chosen to play in a group game. Or, in a school setting there is a child that is cursing or even hitting at the teacher because he or…
objects around. Therefore, the IPad offers a multisensory experience in order to fine tune motor skills (Milman, Carlson-Bancroft, & Boogart, 2014). In the education world, there is a big push to recognize student differences and different learning styles, making it important to incorporate different learning strategies into a lesson. As a result, the iPads have features that would assist with this. The students could complete an assignment by recording their voice, recording a video, taking…

In this paper, there will be discussion of the pros and cons of learning in respect of tradition learning and adult learning. The traditional learning style is more appropriate for younger learners, and the adult learning style is primarily administered through on-line learning, which is geared towards adults. Each style of learning has advantages and disadvantages, but the most important aspect is understanding the most effective avenue for learning as an individual. There will be pros and cons…
of all the data, was fairly easy, as the information seemed to just flow. The only issue was trying to condense all the research, in order to compose a good paper, with good information. It was harder than I expected to merge everyone’s own writing style and to make the document sound decent. It became very apparent that we were all at different writing levels and would have to work everything out. The last part that was hard in the writing process was the collaboration of our group. My group…
Relationship of Teachers’ Cognitive Styles to Pupils’ Academic Achievement Gains by Saracho and Dayton was published in the Journal of Educational Psychology in 1980. Saracho and Dayton discuss the relationship between teacher and student cognitive styles and their effectiveness in education. In a country that continues to lose ground on a world ranking for education, the need for reform is an ever present political issue. The study by Saracho and Dayton can prove helpful if a district is…
The prominence of the culture Europe brought over mainly appeared across the Eastern seaboard (and some parts of the West) where the New World was gaining momentum. The beauty of architecture is every country has their own personal style. What separates America is the diversity that has inspired architecture up to this point. Numerous stylings such as Georgian, British colonial and Spanish colonial that originated in parts of Europe have carried over to America permanently to provide…
