Adult Education Research Conference

We conducted a qualitative study to understand the meaning of translating class notes into Mandarin Chinese for Chinese students enrolled in our hands-on training program for biomedical techniques.

A Narrative Study On Competency Biography Of Instructor Of Adult Education: A Case Study Of Teaching Artists In Korea, Yu-Lee Lee, Byung-Jun Yi

Adult Education Research Conference

Dancing field has, from the beginning, expanded its category from expressing humans' internal desires with physical activities to being active in aesthetic areas. Today, the adult dancing education is the medium where emotional, physical, and psychological abilities can be expressed. The fact that people utilize dance as a learning method, shows their acknowledgement of the value of dance as an educational method. It can be said that dancing leads people to evolve and grow ideologically. Thus, dance education not only simply teaches producing or mimicking an art piece, but also helps to develop an individual into a creative person through …

An Appreciative Dialogue Between East And West, Ann Brooks, Qi Sun

Adult Education Research Conference

In the context of globalized world, many countries have encountered similar changes and challenges. Learning from one another becomes critical to better understand the strengths and limitations of different theoretical and methodological approaches of education and adult education in particular. International and comparative education have historically demonstrated an effective way of learning from each other. Yet learning from each other seems to become very limited. Instead, learning from the West has become the norm due to its dominant economic position, a legacy of colonialism, the exportation of education, and the development of English as the lingua franca of scholarly publishing …

Colgan Air Accident-Driven Changes To Part 121 Flight Operations: It Is Time For Phase Two (Editorial), Donald R. Gibbs

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

It has been just one year since the FAA mandated a minimum of 1500 total flight hours for all part 121 pilots and the implementation of the corresponding 3-tier restricted ATP program based on reduced flight hours. It is time to consider alternatives that meet both the concerns of congress and the concerns of the Colgan Air mishap families, while simultaneously being sensitive to the industry pilot shortage. How did we get here and are there any off-the-shelf alternatives to the three tiers to help get pilots into the left seat sooner?

This article is an editorial and does not …

The Imperative Of The School Choice Option Of Nclb: In Whose Interest?, Teri Jones

Georgia Educational Research Association Conference

Since No Child Left Behind (NCLB) became law, educators have faced challenges trying to protect the common good of a public education while, at the same time, developing and/or reviewing proposals to provide for the school choice option of NCLB. In the debate over market-driven education versus traditional public education, many times, the ideologies behind each approach come into direct conflict. Educators and legislators need to be able to identify when privileged interests are at the core of reforms or if the education of each student is the primary interest being served.

This project provides a real life portrait of …
