Effective Library And Information Services Sustainability And The Impact Of Information And Communication Technology, Emmanuel Kunle Ogunlana, Oyintola Isiak Amusa
EMMANUEL KUNLE OGUNLANA
With the incorporation of information and communication technologies and more open models, the library has the potential of becoming more involved at all stages, and in all contexts, of knowledge creation, dissemination, and use. This paper looks at the impact and challenges of ICT on library and Information Services. Various library services were highlighted, especially those services that ICT have great impact upon. The paper proffers recommendations and concludes that ICT is cost effective and can improve library services and ensure sustainability

The paper discusses the adoption of French curriculum models and educational practices, from 1837 to 1889, by the College Pedro II, the premier secondary school of Brazil during the empire. The college was founded in Rio de Janeiro to attend to the children of the elite in the Municipality of the Court and to serve as a model institution for public and private secondary schools in the provinces.

National Educational Policies In Early Twentieth-Century Brazil: Transforming German Immigrants Into Brazilian Citizens], Karl M. Lorenz, Ariclê Vechia, António G. Ferreira
Karl M Lorenz
Durante a segunda metade do século XIX e as primeiras décadas do século XX, imigrantes alemães estabeleceram colônias em áreas poucas povoadas nos estados no sul de Brasil. Este grupo étnico criou comunidades que mantiveram suas tradições europeias. Central à este fenômeno foi a “Deutsch Schule”, uma instituição educacional que representou e transmitiu os valores e a cultura da comunidade imigrante. Este trabalho discute a origem e o funcionamento do Deutsch Schule, que tipicamente existia no sul de Brasil, e as medidas tomadas pelo governo brasileiro de impôr às escolas o padrão educacional brasileiro no período de 1937 -1945.

Neurosciences And Education: One Example Of A Two-Way Cooperation, Armando F. Rocha, Fábio T. Rocha
Neurosciences And Education: One Example Of A Two-Way Cooperation, Armando F. Rocha, Fábio T. Rocha
Armando F Rocha
The relationship between education and cognitive neuroscience is an old issue from which the idea of the ‘neuroeducators’ was proposed 25 years ago. The premise of this idea is that the knowledge about how the brain operates our learning could help teachers in the classrootm. Despite of being an old issue, there are yet some unsolved matters. Firstly, how neuroscience and education could integrate biological understanding about learning cerebral process has not been yet clearly discussed. The present paper presents the results from Enscer– Teaching the Brain Project – that has been developed in Brazil for five years. During that …

Are They Not All The Same? Racial Heterogeneity Among Black Male Undergraduates, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D., Andrew H. Nichols, Ph.D.
Are They Not All The Same? Racial Heterogeneity Among Black Male Undergraduates, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D., Andrew H. Nichols, Ph.D.
Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.
An erroneous assumption is often made that Black men, one of the most stereotyped groups on college and university campuses, all share common experiences and backgrounds. Using Celious and Oyserman’s (2001) Heterogeneous Race Model as a conceptual framework, we explored within-group differences among Black male undergraduates at three private institutions. Data collected from 39 participants reveal insights into the origins and characterizations of diversity among Black men, as well as the stereotypes, competition, and social distance associated with racial heterogeneity. Implications for Black male solidarity on campuses where few are enrolled and expanding conceptualizations of interacting “across difference” are offered …

Realizing The Intended Outcomes Of Brown: High-Achieving African American Male Undergraduates And Social Capital, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.
Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.
Equitable access to social mobility and advancement through education were among the intended outcomes of the Brown v. Board of Education case and related legislation. Despite this, scholars have illuminated the ways in which colleges, universities, and schools continually disadvantage African American male students. Although the evidence overwhelmingly confirms that many of the goals and promises of Brown remain unfulfilled, a different perspective is offered in this article. Specifically, ways in which high-achieving African American male undergraduates gain, negotiate, and benefit from access to powerful social networks on predominantly White campuses are presented herein. Findings from interviews with 32 high …
The Effects Of Sorority And Fraternity Membership On Class Participation And African American Student Engagement In Predominantly White Classroom Environments, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.
The Effects Of Sorority And Fraternity Membership On Class Participation And African American Student Engagement In Predominantly White Classroom Environments, Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.
Shaun R. Harper, Ph.D.
The relationship between Black Greek-letter organization membership and African American student engagement in almost exclusively White college classrooms was explored in this study. Data were collected through interviews with 131 members from seven undergraduate chapters at a large, predominantly White university in the Midwest. This study resulted in an explanatory model that shows how underrepresentation, voluntary race representation, and collective responsibility positively affect active participation, while Forced Representation has a negative effect. Findings also reveal that faculty teaching styles both positively and negatively affect engagement among African American sorority and fraternity members in their classes. The implications of these findings …

Your Library Instruction Is In Another Castle: The Development Of Information Literacy Based Video Games At Carnegie Mellon Univeristy Or How To Make A Library Arcade, Daniel R. Hood
Daniel R Hood
Being part of an institution possessing a world-renowned computer science school and a reputation for developing innovative new technologies, the University Libraries at Carnegie Mellon were motivated to explore a new method of information literacy instruction. This method was to be the creation of a web-based video game. Through a $50,000 grant from the Buhl Foundation, awarded in the Spring of 2006, the University Libraries began developing a series of “web-based instructional modules." [1] The University Libraries soon formed a representative group of three librarians, selfdubbed the Library Arcade (LA) Committee, to help define how to best transmute the goals …

Teaching Grammar And The Need To Ensure That Techniques Match Grammatical Structures, Arshad Abd Samad
Teaching Grammar And The Need To Ensure That Techniques Match Grammatical Structures, Arshad Abd Samad
Arshad Abd Samad
The teaching of grammar has always been bogged down by the issue of whether it should be taught explicitly or implicitly. The history of language teaching has seen numerous pendulum swings from teaching grammar explicitly to a more discovery or implicit teaching of grammar and back to didactic, teacher fronted approaches. We are aware of the Grammar Translation Method, the Direct Method, the Audiolingual Method, and more recently the Communicative Approach – all of which presented grammar either explicitly or implicitly to varying degrees. Writing recently, however, DeKeyser (2005) bemoans the lack of a serious and concerted effort to teach …

Los Límites De La Autonomía Universitaria, Imanol Ordorika
Imanol Ordorika
Uno de los resultados políticos de los conflictos que tuvieron lugar a lo largo de los años setenta, los cuales marcaron de cierta forma la pauta para las relaciones entre la Universidad y el gobier- no para la siguiente década, fue el refuerzo de los vínculos entre el gobierno federal y los grupos dominantes en el seno de la Universidad. En este contexto es posible señalar, contrariamente a lo que afirman Levy y otros, que durante los ochenta la intervención gubernamental en los asuntos políticos, académicos y económicos de la Universidad se hizo de forma más encubierta, pero su influencia …
Readiness For School - Educators' Perceptions And The Australian Early Development Index, Reesa Sorin
Readiness For School - Educators' Perceptions And The Australian Early Development Index, Reesa Sorin
Reesa Sorin
The Canadian-based Early Development Index (EDI) defines school readiness within five developmental domains: physical health and wellbeing: social competence; emotional maturity; language and cognitive skills and communication skills and general knowledge. Based on other early development indices and trials within Canada, the EDI uses over one hundred indicators to determine 'whether a child is "performing well", average or "developmentally vulnerable." From its introduction to Australia in 2003 and subsequent modifications for an Australian audience, the Australian Early Development Index (AEDI) has been used in over 50 communities throughout Australia to collect data on school readiness for school, community and government …
Patchwork Quilts And Speed Cars: Metaphors For Teaching And Learning, Reesa Sorin
Patchwork Quilts And Speed Cars: Metaphors For Teaching And Learning, Reesa Sorin
Reesa Sorin
Metaphor is a common, everyday technique for talking about objects or events in terms appropriate to other objects or events. Rather than confusing the issue, presenting facts of one sort as if they belong to another group can develop richer and deeper understandings of the world and our place in it. Metaphors of teaching have been used for many years as a route for teachers and preservice teachers to explore their philosophies and approaches to pedagogy, where the impersonal becomes personal through image and rich description. But while it is used extensively to develop images of teaching, it has not …

Perspectives Of Schooling Through Karaoke: A Metaphorical Analysis, Payal Arora
Perspectives Of Schooling Through Karaoke: A Metaphorical Analysis, Payal Arora
Payal Arora
This paper plays with education through the analogy of karaoke to tease out the instructions of a situated educational practice. Here, Cremin's conceptualization of education as a deliberate, systematic and sustained effort is employed as a starting point to enable an understanding of educational practice between members elicited by karaoke. Using Garfinkel's ethnomethodological framework, the paper investigates modes of education through karaoke practice as part of the ‘live’ narrative, that of instructing and being instructed with the ‘curriculum’ of the event at hand.

A Cross-Border Exploration Of The Professional Development Needs Of Heads Of Year, Patricia Mannix Mcnamara Dr., Eva Devaney, Tom Geary, Caryl Sibbett Dr., Willie Thompson
Dr. Patricia Mannix McNamara
Pastoral work in schools is about meeting student needs. However in the context of an increasingly changing society, students’ needs are also rapidly changing. The expectation that schools should assume more responsibility for mental health promotion, coupled with an increase in poor mental health and distress among young people, have placed increased pressures on parents and schools (Shucksmith et al. 2005). In schools it is often the pastoral care team, and in particular the year heads, who have to deal with situations that they often feel unprepared for (Wilson et al. 2004, Rothi et al. 2008). It is therefore important …
Proposal For Using A Studio Formant To Enhance Institutional Advancement, Shannon M. Chance
Proposal For Using A Studio Formant To Enhance Institutional Advancement, Shannon M. Chance
Shannon M. Chance
Universities today need to become quicker on their toes. They must continually scan the environment and seize emerging opportunities – and institutional advancement must lead this effort. An unfortunate number of institutional advancement operations are ill equipped for the task at hand. Many suffer from high staff turnover and overly hierarchical systems that reflect excessive fragmentation and compartmentalization. They inadvertently perpetuate stifling and unnecessary bureaucracy. Organizing advancement efforts around the metaphor of the design studio or creative workshop promises to (a) pool talent, (b) cultivate collaboration, and (c) align diverse but related interests in order to promote fruitful advancement. By …
Approximate Solution Of Abel Integral Equation, Li Huang
Approximate Solution Of Abel Integral Equation, Li Huang
Li Huang
This paper presents a new, stable, approximate inversion of Abel integral equation. By using the Taylor expansion of the unknown function, Abel equation is approximately transformed to a system of linear equations for the unknown function together with its derivatives. A desired solution can be determined by solving the resulting system according to Cramer’s rule. This method gives a simple and closed form of approximate Abel inversion, which can be performed by symbolic computation. The nth-order approximation is exact for a polynomial of degree up to n. Abel integral equation is approximately expressed in terms of integrals of input data; …
