Biography:
I graduated with a PhD in instructional design and technology from Macquarie University,
Australia on the Australian government's International Postgraduate Research Funding
scholarship. I have worked in various capacities such as a high school teacher, instructional
designer, educational researcher, academic etc with different schools, educational organizations
and tertiary institutions. In the last several years, I have been involved in actively promoting the
use of technology to advance innovation in teaching and learning and have served as a catalytic
leader/team member in e-learning and educational initiatives. I have been involved in many
funded educational research projects and widely published my work in reputable journals and
presented at international conferences. I have also provided consultancy to a number of
international organizations in the domain of education, particularly enabling them to leverage

As an educator/teacher-trainer, my instructional practices have been constantly undergoing

transformation as I accumulate more insightful experiences from interacting with students, peer
educators and other stakeholders within the educational enterprise. These educative experiences
have shaped my thinking and approaches towards understanding the complexities of the learning
process while making learning more meaningful and relevant for students. At a fundamental
level, my teaching philosophy is underpinned by a quote from John Cotton Dana - "Who dares to
teach must never cease to learn!" I am convinced that teaching is a transactional endeavor
involving the sharing of my ideas and experiences with my students and in turn, learning from
them their views and perspectives on issues of concern. In my teaching, I constantly
strive to focus on the practical application of sound theoretical principles in everyday working
contexts - thus establishing a more meaningful theory-praxis nexus.

Analysing the Most Prominent Theta Roles Used in Sindhi Language:

The Hierarchy of Prominent Theta Roles in Sindhi
Abstract
This paper focuses on the prominent theta roles assigned by the Sindhi
verbs in Sindhi language. It attempts to find answer to the research
question, What are the prominent theta roles used in Sindhi language?
The data come from the two informal interviews taken from two young
native Sindhi speakers. The data comprise of almost two hours
conversation having 1,669 sentences in all. There were two Sindhispeaking participants who were interviewed; they were asked simple
questions about their present, past and future life. Thus, in this regard, each
verb phrase (in sentences) has been examined with the help of Carnies
theoretical framework (Thematic Relation and Theta Roles: 2006: 221) in
order to find the most prominent theta roles in Sindhi language. Towards
the end, the study finds that Sindhi language has six prominent theta roles
out of nine which are proposed by Andrew Carnie (2006). The six
prominent theta roles in the Sindhi language are: agent, theme, beneficiary,
recipient, goal and locative. According to the study of Hovav M. R. (2004),
the hierarchy of the theta roles in the Sindhi language is: Agent > theme >
beneficiary > recipient > goal > locative > source > experiencer >
instrument. Thus, the hierarchy of the prominent theta roles is: Agent >
theme > beneficiary > recipient > locative > goal. However; this is not the
final one; broader study is to be carried out to find exact hierarchy of the
theta roles in Sindhi. This study can be helpful in teaching and learning
argument structure, theta roles and the prominent theta roles in Sindhi
language.

ABSTRACT
Within social work education there is increasing interest in ensuring that
the professional curriculum includes a clearly internationalised
5
nd


dimension. While the exact form of this internationalisation varies widely

from institution to institution and, indeed, across countries, some common
elements can be discerned, including the practice of embedding
international perspectives within course content and facilitating faculty and
student exchanges across geographical and cultural boundaries. This paper
reports on a strategy developed as part of a partnership between two
university social work departments, located in Australia and India. The
strategy involves the regular convening of collaboratively organised
international conferences, where social work students on exchange are
actively involved in the organisation and implementation of the conference.
The benefits and challenges of this strategy are discussed, with a particular
emphasis on the way in which this approach promotes scholarly
development and exposure as well as intercultural learning.

Jung, Dae Bum1
Jinju Health College
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the contribution of
higher education to labor productivity at the
national level, using
company-based panel data. The panel data from 1990 to 2007 was used,
which was from the national panel institution Korea Information Service Financial Accounting System(KIS-FAS).
The analysis result reveals a highly positive relationship from 1990 to 2007
between the change of the rate of people with higher education among the
economically active population and sales per person. The analysis of panel
data also shows that the increase of the economically active population
with higher education has a positive influence on labor productivity(sales
per person). These results are significant in that they are the basic

Task Based Learning English as a Second Language among School

Students
Abstract
Beena Anil
GIC1522056
In primary education a clear amount of students study English as their

second language in school. Learning English is mandatory in all countries
where English is learnt as a second language. These days, students have
more choices concerning to the development of their language skills in
English. Regional languages are included in the curriculum with more use
of English to learn other subjects. English is studied as a compulsory
subject where other regional subjects are optional.
The very important factor of studying English in school is the amount of
time required to learn the language in school. A learner needs at least five
to seven years to develop academic English, including reading, writing,
speaking and listening. Teachers use English in the classroom which may
not be enough for students to have good knowledge of English. Tasks are
helpful for students to learn English effectively and interestingly. This
paper discusses how various tasks are helpful for school students to
develop their English learning process positively.
Key words: second language learning, task based activities, scaffolding,

Abstract
The reported study focuses on the academic practices of freshman and
Mara
Guadalupe senior engineering students while gaining the required experience to
Tinajero-Villavicencio
become engineers. The theoretical framework derives from a sociocultural
GIC1522057
perspective, where the appropriation of disciplinary tools and artifacts, and
the ways in which students participate in the disciplines, are crucial. The
participants were 47 engineering students from a Mexican state university,
who participated in six focus groups. The data obtained was analyzed using
techniques of content analysis. In general, the students comments show
different levels of appropriation of the disciplinary tools, and different
ways of perceiving their professional training in terms of the challenges
that it presents for them, and they mentioned which aspects of these
differences they considered to be significant. Dissimilarities between the
majors, in particular those regarding the professional internships, are also
discussed. To conclude, the paper provides suggestions for improving
engineer training right from the beginning of their university studies, and
has implications for other state universities working with similar programs.
Keywords: higher education, engineering education, qualitative research,

perceptions. In this research some questions about Comenius program

asked to the teachers who carried out Comenius projects in Konya Province
in Turkey and the results have been analysed in terms of some variables.
Also, literature research has been carried out about EU and Comenius
Program which is part of EU Education Program Lifelong Learning
Program and previous researches have been investigated. A survey has
been used as a tool in order to collect data. Online survey has been used
because the number of the participant is very high and geographically
distributed. In order to receive the views of the teachers on Comenius
program the survey was sent to the participants and totally 176 feedbacks
received.
At the end of the research continuous increase on the number of the
application to the program has been observed. The teachers who have
already taken part in Comenius Project thinks that Comenius Projects
develops the teamwork among the students, Comenius Projects are
effective on developing language skills of the students and skills of using
ICT, Comenius projects makes positive contribution on views of the

Introduction
Speaking requires that learners not only know how to produce specific
points of language such as grammar, pronunciation, or vocabulary
("linguistic competence"), but also that they understand when, why, and in
what ways to produce language ("sociolinguistic competence") (Nunan,
1999:216) .The learning of language involves acquiring the ability to
compose correct sentences and it involves an understanding of which
sentences or part of sentences are appropriate for a particular context
(Widdowson, 1978:2) . Speaking is "the process of building and sharing
meaning through the use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, in a variety of
contexts" (Chaney, 1998, p. 13). Despite its importance, for many years,
teaching speaking has been undervalued and English language teachers
have continued to teach speaking just as a repetition of drills or
memorization of dialogues.

Abstract

GIC1522061
The challenges that EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers

encountered in their profession are unquestionably numerous. One of those
intricate teaching situations is the one involving novice or beginning
English teachers teaching in a challenging classroom environment such as
those of large classes. In this paper, I particularly aim at investigating what
novice teachers think about their experience in teaching large EFL classes;
how they give meaning to it, how they conduct and approach such teaching
while experiencing teaching success and failure, and what they learn from
it to become more empowered teachers.
The investigation took on a narrative inquiry. The data, in a form of
texts, were analyzed based on two teacher participants narratives from
their recurring interview segments. The teachers narrative inquiry coupled
with classroom observations were intended to seek for insightful meanings
and understandings of the individuals profile and perceptions of their
teaching experience.
The implication of the findings among others suggested for the
provision of a more thoughtful and accommodating teaching contexts for
those teachers with regards to creating and facilitating effective learning
environment. The finding also addressed the importance of considering the
link and match between ELT pedagogy and the real teaching / classroom
practices. From the teacher participants personal account, the data analysis
also indicated their readiness to problem-solve and reflect on their
challenging teaching situation, and showed their eagerness for anticipated
professional development opportunities to be more self-sufficient in their
work in spite of their early engagement in teaching.

Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) for Masters students: an exploratory study

Increasing numbers of masters students in the UK are international and/or
mature who may require support both academically and within the social
environment. For a small number of students undertaking certain master
programmes perceived lack of academic and social support may be a
contributory factor to non-completion or academic failure of the
programme of study. The transition to masters education is currently been
managed on an ad hoc basis and there is no organised processes within in
the university to facilitate this transition Therefore a holistic procedure and
process for managing transition of students undertaking a masters
education programme is required utilising the valuable experience of past
and current master students.
The aim of this research is to report the experience of masters students and
also potential masters students who participated in several PAL sessions at
Plymouth University. This is a pilot study with masters students at two
faculties and also potential masters students who intend to join in the
university after their pre-master programmes. More specifically, four
research objectives were sought as (1) to understand the reasons for
participation of PAL sessions; (2) to evaluate the usefulness of PAL
sessions to their study; (3) to evaluate the usefulness of PAL sessions to
their social integration; (4) to summarise suggestions to future PAL
sessions for masters students.
Mixed data collection methods were used: (1) five semi-structured
interviews were undertaken with the students who involved in the PAL
sessions. The students were from different subject areas; (2) the students
were invited to submit one page summary of their experience at the last
three PAL sessions. 20 summaries were collected. Framework analysis was
adopted to analyse the interview scripts and content analysis was used to
analyse the students summaries.
The research reveals that better adaptation to the masters study is the main
reason for attending PAL sessions by the students instead of social
integration. PAL sessions were perceived to be useful to better understand
12
nd


requirements of coursework and also preparation for exams. They are also
useful for understanding of level of requirements for masters level writing.
PAL sessions were not perceived useful for social integration as most of the
students have already been at the same university for at least two years.
However social activities have been useful to develop good relationship
with students from different countries. In order to successfully carry on
PAL session at masters level, three factors should be addressed: right time
for the sessions, right student mentors to lead the sessions, and right mix of
students to improve learning efficiency.

This research is carried out to explore the role of moral values in quality of
high school curriculum. Undoubtedly one of the main goals of educational
and especially high school systemsisto train morals-oriented, selfdependent, accountable and responsible people. This paper is to provide
answers for the following two questions regarding the trend of
globalization and lightning speed of development in science and
technology; inability of traditional moral values in confronting challenges
in todays world; and the strong bond between training and morals:
1. Is the national curriculum, as the most fundamental element in high
schools educational system, able to instil morals into students?
2. Could we promote morals in society by placing moral training
requirements in high school curriculum?
The research method is analytical and review-based. The data were
collected using library studies and by means of all the available
sources including books, research papers, and databases.
The results revealed that high school curriculum components by
themselves could not inculcate moral values in students. The
reason for the null statement is the lack of a systematic approach to
all the factors involved such as environmental variables and
different individuals.

Abstract
With the rapid increase of using blended learning in higher education, the
understanding of student experience in blended learning environment
becomes significant. The aim of this research was to understand the
learning experience of the undergraduate Accounting sub-degree students
in a blended learning environment in Hong Kong. The research was
conducted on a Management Accounting course of a sub-degree
programme. A case study was carried out with in-depth interviews with
students as primary data sources and data analysis was performed by
Thematic Analysis. The results showed that, firstly, assessment was very
significant in the provision of the blended learning course and therefore
design of the course activities should be aligned with assessment. Secondly,
students engaged in learning activities which they perceived as helpful for
their learning and design of learning activities should be helpful to
students study. Thirdly, the roles of teacher were important in blended
learning. Instruction, facilitation, guidance and teaching support were vital
to students online learning. Fourthly, students actively learnt via
discussing by online communication tools and sharing resources by online
tools which were not designed by the teacher. With an understanding of
their learning experience, lifelong education providers can adopt blended
learning in the most appropriate way so that teaching and learning
effectiveness can be enhanced and the benefits of blended learning can be
fully implemented. This research will fill the gap and contribute to the
literature about learning experience of Hong Kong sub-degree
undergraduates in the blended learning environment.

players.
Method(s):
To achieve this purpose, 45 women Soccer players who participated in the
Anna University, Tamilnadu, India. Intercollegiate Tournament was
selected as subjects and were randomly divided into three equal groups of
fifteen each, such as an anaerobic interval training group (group-I),
anaerobic interval training group (group-II) and combined aerobicanaerobic interval training group (group-III). The training program was
conducted three days per weeks for a period of six weeks. Stride length
and Stride frequency was selected as dependent variables. All the subjects
of the three groups were tested on selected criterion variables at prior to
and immediately after the training program. The concepts of dependent
15
nd


test were employed to find out the significant improvement due to the
influence of training programs on all the selected criterion variables. The
analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was also used to analyze the
significant difference, if, any among the experimental groups.
Result(s):
The result of the study revealed that combined group was higher than
aerobic interval training and anaerobic interval training groups.
Conclusion(s):
It was concluded that when experimental groups were compared with each
other, the combined aerobic anaerobic interval training program was
found to be greater than the aerobic and the anaerobic interval training
programs on the development of stride length and stride frequency. High
intensity, combined aerobic anaerobic interval training program can be
carried out in a more soccer specific way than plain running.

UsmanKatsina Polytechnic, Katsina State, Nigeria
ABSTRACT
The use of instructional materials is an indispensable aspect that enhances

qualitative teaching and learning especially at primary level. It is used to
sustain comprehension of ideas and knowledge imparted to pupils and
ensures long term retention of ideas and topics taught to pupils. This study
examines the relevance of using instructional materials in primary schools
in the North western part of Nigeria. It employed survey technique where
questionnaires were distributed by research assistants to the respondents
selected via cluster sampling technique. Statistical and frequency tables
were used to analyze the data. The results shown that teachers and students
alike have realized the effectiveness of modern instructional materials in
teaching and learning for the attainment of set objectives in the basic
primary education policy. It also discovered that reluctance in the use of
instructional materials will hamper the achievement of qualitative primary
education. The study therefore suggests for the provision of adequate and
up-to-date instructional materials to all primary schools in the zone for
effective teaching and learning process.

ABSTRACT
In higher education, a large number of faculty members are afraid of the
statement publish or perish. As more and more people complete their
doctorates today, publication has become an even more important factor
considered for academic ranking around the world. A large number of
manuscripts submitted for publication are rejected. Most rejections are
based on issues pertaining to the common big 5 pillars of a publishable
article: research design, research theory, contribution to the field, editorial
policies, and structure. This presentation is based on the speakers recent
bookPublish or perish: Fear no more (2014). It provides practical
guidelines to deal with the big 5 to increase significantly the chance of
getting manuscripts to publication.

ABSTRACT
Education in refugee and internally displaced people (IDP) camps is out of
the ordinary. Both teachers and students in these settings go through
unimaginable experiences that need extreme measures to try to meet very
basic educational needs as known in the fields of curriculum and
instruction, and instructional design. This paper presents an instructional
design model proposed and published for refugee and IDP education in
19
nd


Central Africa. It is based on a phenomenological study conducted in one

refugee camp and one IDP camp in Central Africa. This presentation
synthesizes some of the most common instructional design models. It then
briefly summarizes the findings of the study before presenting the proposed

ABSTRACT
This study was undertaken to describe the characteristics of cyber-abused
prone college students and its influence on their academic performance. A
quantitative design was used to analyze the subjects responses (n=512) who
were enrolled in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Metro Cebu. The
study findings show that cyber abused prone college students turned out to
be both male and female. Predominantly 18 years old, second year college,
single, who came from a large size of family, and with average socioeconomic status. They engage in social networking sites through internet
cafes for 1-7 hours every week who intend to find a temporary and
permanent relationship. In addition, they belong to a population with large
size of on-line friends who inflame, impersonate, denigrate, stalk, bar, and
alienate, trick them. They conceded that cyber abuse incidence was
considered serious and sought help from their on-line friends and siblings.
They have average study habits and moderate self-esteem. Surprisingly,
cyber abuse prone college students demonstrated a moderate academic
performance. The study further, revealed a negligible correlation between
self-esteem, study habits and cyber abuse.
Cyber abuse phenomenon is prevalent in highly urbanized city
because of the mushrooming of internet cafes that provide greater access to
internet leading to a heightened risk of becoming cyber abuse prone among
teenagers who have average socio economic status, large size of on-line
friends, engage with the internet for a long period of time primarily for
21
nd


social interactions. In addition, cyber abused prone students do posses

average study habits, self-esteem and academic performance that challenge
stakeholders such as school leaders, policy makers, curriculum planners
and teachers to collaboratively work to minimise the prevalence and
mitigate the impact of cyber abuse on psychological and academic life of
teenagers.
Fast vanishing borders, passports of heart and promises: A brief
analysis of select Indian novels and the globalised world

ABSTRACT
Hippolyte Taine famously said literature is a study of the race, the
moment and the milieu (01). If literature mirrors society, then
globalization is very much a theme of many writings for the tremendous
change that it has caused over the last two decades. The present paper is an
effort to read select novels of AmitavGhosh, KiranDesia and AravindAdiga
who have dealt with the changing times in various of their works. Ghosh in
his fictions establishes the fact that globalization is not a present day
phenomenon, rather centuries ago the world was closely knit together
before the toll of colonization in The Circle of Reason and In an Antique
World. Kiran Desai in the Inheritance of Loss shows how this international
enterpreneural movement brought a new light in the impoverished and
marginalized classes but it also proved a dawn of false promises for many.
Adiga also takes a lower, labourer class character in The White Tiger, who
ascends surprising heights propelled by the globalised world but the
loopholes are rampant. There is a grand show of money minting but the old
values and humane ways of life are trampled over by the means adopted.
This overwhelming phenomenon no doubt, improves economy and social
structure but the mental and spiritual health of the same flourishing society
is scarred and scourged forever. The paper also intends to look at women in
perspective of the upcoming situation.
Key words: Globalisation, economic development, new avenues, spiritual
lassitude, changes.

ABSTRACT
Special Service Class (SSC) or Retrieval Remedial (RR) is an educational
program in elementary school which is implemented as an effort to provide
learning readiness for students who drop out orhave never attended formal
education. Special Service Class (SSC) or Remedial Retrieval (RR) is
primarily a teaching program implemented in special classes. Until
recently, special education that is being developed is an education for
children with physical or psychological problems. The development of
educational problems that becomes more complex arises various
23
nd


development of terms for children with learning disorder. It is not only due
to the physical but also psychological and social condition. One of the
problems that arise today is children with disabilities caused by social
factors including the economic situation in the family, which hereinafter
referred as SSC students. SSC students are associated with those who fail
classes or drop out of school because of economic problems in the family
or the environment.

ABSTRACT
The Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) program at Monash University
Malaysia was introduced as yet another teaching and learning support
program in addition to the ongoing Learning Skills development programs
for students. The PASS program originated as the Supplemental Instruction
(SI) program in the USA (introduced by Dr Deanna Martin, University of
Missouri - Kansas City) several decades ago. 17 PASS Leaders have been
locally trained in Semester 1, 2015 in the PASS pilot program in Malaysia.
The PASS Trainer provides PASS Student Leaders with skills and
strategies to conduct the PASS sessions at the School Unit level and also
coaches the PASS Unit Coordinators in supportive measures. Feedback
received through a recent mid-semester survey suggests that the program is
well received among students. This paper focuses on the first iteration of
the PASS program on the Monash Malaysian campus, highlighting the
challenges and opportunities that it has presented in enhancing students'
learning experience.

ABSTRACT
The use of both information and communication technologies (ICTs) and
social network sites (SNSs), also called social media, are critical to the
migrants as ICTs and SNSs support virtual interpersonal communication
and enhance emotional and information support.Previous studies related to
the marriage-immigrant females in Taiwan show that marriage-immigrant
females lose their connections and support from homeland and confront
difficulties, like culture conflicts, language inability, and negative public
discourses in the host society. This study aims to explore how the marriageimmigrant females in Taiwan reconnect to their homeland, build local
social network and obtain social capital through the usage of ICTs and
SNSs. 10 Vietnamese marriage-immigrant females were interviewed for
research data. Our findings present that the marriage-immigrant females
adopt ICTs aggressively due to the urge to connect with their families. The
use of SNSs helps the marriage-immigrant females not only to extend their
offline network into virtual community but also to build new community by
meeting more friends online, sharing information and support, and
obtaining resources from the host society. While articulating theoretical and
practical contributions concerning how ICTs and SNSs can enhance the
development of social network and capital, we hope to address this lack of
understanding and establish a successful approach for future marriageimmigrant female studies.

Abstract
Nigeria is a society in transition subjected to the hardest test of growth and
development. The paper attempts to examine the prospects of women
education as a tool for sustainable development. In many countries, it has
been recognized that the development process does not promote gender
equity in the distribution of the benefits of economic growth. Indeed, there
is a growing awareness of the existence of differential access that the
distribution of the benefits of economic growth is skewed in favor of the
men fork. Female labor is regarded as supplementary to that of male and
consequently, the benefits of development programs are only expected to
filter down to women through their men fork. Furthermore, socio-cultural
restrictions often inhibit women active participation in the development
process. Women have therefore, become a major focus of research and
policy throughout the world .The paper discusses what women education,
national unity and integration entailed , particularly their roles as the
transformers or engines that propel sustainable development in Nigeria. A
questionnaire technique was used to collect relevant data. Due to inferential
nature of the study, background information obtained from the respondents
were interpreted and analyzed using t-test. However, the presentation and
discussion of results were carried out around the research questions
hypotheses which have guided the analysis. The paper began with
introduction, objective of the study, conceptual and theoretical frame work
related to the study. And followed with conclusions and some
recommendations on how best to overhaul the present educational system
with a view to providing final approach to the persistent problems of
women education globally.

ABSTRACT
The paper provides an in-depth review of the Teacher-Research system in
China. The focus is to compare the Teacher-Research system in china with
the corresponding part in U.S. that promotes the professional development
of in-service teacher with various on-site research related activities. The
26
nd


first section of the review introduces the historical development of the

Teacher-Research system in China, which is followed by an in-depth
analysis of the status quo of China Teacher-Research system in recent
years. In the third section of the review, the authors compares and contrast
China Teacher-Research system with the corresponding part in the system
of teacher professional development in U. S. At the end of the review, the
authors conclude that both systems of teacher professional development in
the two countries can be further developed by adopting new strategies and
incorporating the unique means of teacher professional development being
used in the other country, and promoting the professional development of
teachers through on-site research related activities is a new trend in todays
educational practices. The review has important theoretical and practical
implications and will bring new insights on the reform of teacher
professional development systems in both countries to policy-makers,
school administrators, and researchers in the area of teacher professional
development.

ABSTRACT
Various forms of negative impacts contained in the modernization and
globalization present serious challenges for education. Moral decadence among
the younger generation in the form of negative behaviors, especially among
students, such as the use of drugs, sexual promiscuity, and fight, are the impacts of
the presence of the civilization program of modernization and globalization.
Social reality that is loaded with negative values requires all parties
involved in education to reform patterns of education. Innovative, creative, and
transformative become the standard of consideration for any efforts to redesign the
pattern of education. One form of the intended redesigning is by integrating
Islamic values, as a teaching resource loaded with values, in the implementation of
education. This integration pattern potentially equips students with the values that
can fortify them from negative influences that supplement the presence of modern
and global civilization.
The educational social reality is assessed through a process of research
with descriptive method and qualitative approach. Islamic Senior High School of
Al-Muttaqin, Tasikmalaya, was the research area. The focus of the study in this
27
nd


research include (1) The values of Islam which is integrated in the implementation
of education; (2) The integration form of Islamic values in the implementation of
education; (3) Constraints faced when integrating Islamic values in the
implementation of education; and (4) Efforts to overcome obstacles in the
implementation of the integration of Islamic values in the education process.
After conducting the process of reading, interpretation, and critical
reflection on facts and data of research, there are several conclusion. (1) The
values that are integrated in the implementation of education are the values of
practical-applicative, where everyone potentially maintains the glory value of a
student as a servant of God, such as perseverance, discipline, honesty, patience,
togetherness, and cleanliness. (2) The integration of Islamic values is applied in
the implementation of integrative education in the form of Islamic education
throughout the scope of education. (3) Obstacles encountered in the integration
process are more dominant in the forms of trouble to unify understanding of the
relation of Islamic values with practical importance of education. (4) Efforts to
overcome the constraints of the integration are done with persuasive approach and
examples.
Based on the research conclusions, there are several recommendations in
the form of integrative educational development that is innovative and creative.
These recommendations are delivered referring to the desire to reinforce the
pattern of integrative education in an environment that has been provided in
Islamic Senior High School of Al-Muttaqin, Tasikmalaya.

ROLES AND PERFORMANCE EXPECTANCIES OF A GLOBAL

TEACHER

ABSTRACT
Quality and excellence in the academic workplace demand an aggressive
realization on the teachers' roles in the successful delivery of instruction.
The 21st century educators are looked upon as globally competitive and
adept in managing change. They must possess the five basic roles:
transformers, facilitator, researcher, ethicist and psychological. (Salandanan
2006)
Conscious of this construct, this study which was conducted in Naga
District 1, City of Naga, Cebu, analysed how well the teachers' roles were
carried out and how have these been affected by the physical,
psychological, emotional and spiritual factors. Utilizing the Pearson
Product-Moment Correlation, findings revealed that the teachers generally
carried out their roles excellently. Likewise, there were significant
28
nd


interrelationships between and among the roles as well as the factors that
affect them. Simply put, the physical, psychological, emotional and
spiritual factors directly affect the successful exercise of their roles.
Teachers' Performance Appraisal and interview were likewise utilized for
validation
and
findings
were
then
conformed.
The teachers physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual wellbeing greatly affects the performance and exercise of his/her roles as
facilitator, researcher, ethicist, psychological and effective teacher. Both
are potent determinants towards quality and excellence, hence they have to
be continually facilitated in and pursued upon by the teachers as well as the
administration.
A global teacher therefore carries out his/her roles meaningfully and
makes education the center stage in the upliftment of a better society across
nations.

ABSTRACT
Increasing numbers of masters students in the UK are international and/or
mature who may require support both academically and within the social
environment. For a small number of students undertaking certain master
programmes perceived lack of academic and social support may be a
contributory factor to non-completion or academic failure of the
programme of study. The transition to masters education is currently been
managed on an ad hoc basis and there is no organised processes within in
the university to facilitate this transition Therefore a holistic procedure and
process for managing transition of students undertaking a masters
education programme is required utilising the valuable experience of past
and current master students.
The aim of this research is to report the experience of masters students and
also potential masters students who participated in several PAL sessions at
29
nd


Plymouth University. This is a pilot study with masters students at two

faculties and also potential masters students who intend to join in the
university after their pre-master programmes. More specifically, four
research objectives were sought as (1) to understand the reasons for
participation of PAL sessions; (2) to evaluate the usefulness of PAL
sessions to their study; (3) to evaluate the usefulness of PAL sessions to
their social integration; (4) to summarise suggestions to future PAL
sessions for masters students.
Mixed data collection methods were used: (1) five semi-structured
interviews were undertaken with the students who involved in the PAL
sessions. The students were from different subject areas; (2) the students
were invited to submit one page summary of their experience at the last
three PAL sessions. 20 summaries were collected. Framework analysis was
adopted to analyse the interview scripts and content analysis was used to
analyse the students summaries.
The research reveals that better adaptation to the masters study is the main
reason for attending PAL sessions by the students instead of social
integration. PAL sessions were perceived to be useful to better understand
requirements of coursework and also preparation for exams. They are also
useful for understanding of level of requirements for masters level writing.
PAL sessions were not perceived useful for social integration as most of the
students have already been at the same university for at least two years.
However social activities have been useful to develop good relationship
with students from different countries. In order to successfully carry on
PAL session at masters level, three factors should be addressed: right time
for the sessions, right student mentors to lead the sessions, and right mix of
students to improve learning efficiency.

Happiness, hope and humanity

Assistant Professor,

ABSTRACT
Happiness, well being and good time hold different meanings for
different people__ which are achieved or earned by various ways. For
children - is balloons, toys and chocolates; for young people - it lies in
having a big house, a car and the modern gadgets. A middle class familys
concept of success & pleasure believes in seeing ones children going
ahead of them in the race of life.
The fact is, we define enjoyment & happiness in our own individual ways.
Not only this, ways of seeking pleasure has also been changing throughout
32
nd


all ages & eras. If things related to parents and siblings provide enjoyment
in childhood, the very person finds his/her priorities change with time. At
times, it is related with teachers, friends and others. But I have chosen to
speak about the beautiful bonding of happiness & Literature.
The triangle of human being, happiness and literature is as old as the very
fount of human life itself. There have been times when literature was in the
form of epics and folk songs. The poor and prosperous, all had their share
of literary sojourns. If epic resonated in castles, huts and hamlets danced to
ballads. Slaves carrying heavy weights of borrowed lives, fishermen
rowing their boats, lovers pining for a sight of each other, soldiers
marching ahead to meet their unknown fate, a woman savouring pleasures
of domestic peace with children and husband- all owe their expression of
feelings either to songs or stories in varied forms. Leo Tolstoy
commented rightly thatHappy families are all alike; every unhappy family
is unhappy in its own way, (Anna Karenina, ) and literature has space for
all of them. Thus, literature has been the vessel of human expression- his/
her happiness, sorrows, anxiety, dilemma, elation- all.

ABSTRACT
The paper is to find out the ' use of social media in learning skills of
children of didis '. The word 'didi' refers to the commercial female sex
workers at G.B. Road, Delhi. The study employed 'covert participatory
observation ' to get an insight of the place and children there. The paper is
a study from an ongoing teaching and training process with the children in
G.B.Road. Children are taught using traditional teaching methods as well
as social media tools to enhance their learning skills. The research focuses
on how 'social media' acts as a bridge between the world they live in and
the world on the other side of the so called Red light area'. A child in this
area faces problems with formal identity, schooling and other daily needs.
And all they need is 'love' and to be loved. Social media is evolving a more
democratic space for the communication without 'social exclusion'. The
main findings of the paper are that social media especially Whatsapp and
Face book with features like - voice message and pictures have helped
children in vulnerable places to interact and learn basic elementary
education and communication skills. The social media helps them to
33
nd


socialize with the other members of the network despite an array of

disparities and problems they face.

ABSTRACT
There is a growing awareness in Hong Kong of the importance of higher
education and rapid changes have been taken in its education system,
particularly, in the promotion of lifelong education and the introduction of
the Qualifications Framework (QF) (Hong Kong Qualifications
Framework, 2014). Educational institutions are increasingly focused on
competency-based training, like work-integrated learning, in order to equip
new graduates with the required employability skills to function effectively
34
nd


in the contemporary work environment. Indeed, questions have been raised

on the quality of the graduate labour market and the ability of graduates to
meet the needs of employers. Based on a qualitative study, this paper
analyzes the employers perspective of graduate employability in Hong
Kong. Utilizing semi-structured interview techniques, eight people
representing different organizations were interviewed. Content analysis
was adopted to identify graduate recruitment issues; perceptions of and
organizational links with higher education; key business skills and
competencies expected of graduates; and interpersonal and communication
skills of graduates. Results indicated that employers were generally
satisfied with the overall performance of graduates but they commented
that graduates should improve on their language abilities; interpersonal and
management skills; be more open to criticism and advice from colleagues;
have more common sense and knowledge of current affairs; and
improvements in work attitude in terms of more willingness to take
responsibilities, being more enthusiastic about their work, and take more
initiative at work. In view of this, the implications for academic and
professional practitioners were discussed.

Abstract
Outcome-based education has been introduced for many years and welcomed by
many educators because of its more accuracy in developing the required qualities
and competencies of the students. However, most institutions only focus on the
traditional way of delivery the curriculum through outcome-based learning,
without thinking of some innovative ways in developing the students. Indeed,
traditional way of curriculum delivery can develop most of the outcomes expected
and set out by the institutions, yet, some particular outcomes, e.g., cultural
intelligence or sensitivity cannot be easily produced through the traditional way.
This study argues that apart from the traditional way of delivering the curriculum,
a more experiential approach can be introduced in order to develop that type of
special outcome. Based on a 5-day study and cultural tour to Japan, 12 students
from one of the universities in Hong Kong have been researched. First of all, a
1.5-hour focus group with 12 students was conducted to understand their change
before and after this tour. Standard focus group technique was applied in order to
gauge richer information. The focus group was conducted in Cantonese and then
translated into English to form the verbatim. Students were also required to submit
a reflective statement after the tour. Content analysis was applied to analyze those
focus group verbatim and reflective statements. Several themes, such as cultural
differences and cultural understanding were emerged.
To triangulate the results from the qualitative analysis, a survey with items of
cultural intelligence was distributed to 30 students. Among them, 12 students have
participated in the tour. Result from simple regression analysis indicated that
students who went to the tour did improve their cultural intelligence. This supports
the argument that apart from traditional classroom methods, experiential learning
can be introduced to the higher education in order to develop a more higher-order
outcome. This preliminary study provides implications and suggestions to the
curriculum design for the educators. Future research directions were also
suggested.
