嶺南大學文獻目錄 : 廣州嶺南大學歷史檔案資料, Sui Ming Lee

Historical Texts of Lingnan University 嶺南大學歷史特藏

嶺南大學自1888 年創校於廣州，其間的變遷，不單表述了嶺南的事跡，亦説明了近代中國歷史的一段重要里程。嶺南悠長的歷史，自然亦有大量的有關文獻。嶺南與世界各地交往頻繁，資料亦流散各地。由於史料的卷帙浩繁，如果沒有一個指引作為按圖索麟，研究嶺南歷史的學者恐怕只能浮光掠影，而無法從事深入客觀的研究。

有見及此，1947年超社校友李瑞明博士義務編成這本《嶺南大學文獻目錄》。這書除了提供檢閱查索嶺南歷史檔案方便之外，李博士更將他珍藏的許多文獻附錄書内供參考。除李博士外，陸建源博士、伍沾德博士、陸趙鈞鴻博士、馬幼坦教授及劉靖之教授亦協助參予編輯出版。

The model was developed to support restructuring of a Masters of Engineering Management degree program. The model supported decisions in selecting and prioritizing the required …

The Administrative Role: A Reflective Essay, Donald R. Taylor

Graduate Research Papers

Like everyone, my experiences, values, and goals are the basis of what has become my philosophy of education. My philosophy of education, in turn, determines my teaching style and together they define what I believe to be the purpose of education. Knowing that philosophies tend toward the idealistic by nature, my idealistic vision is not intimidated by the challenge of administration. The purpose of this reflective paper is to identify characteristics that are essential for a successful principalship. I will also articulate what I believe about each characteristic, provide research findings to support my perspective, and discuss how I might …

Portfolios As A Qualitative Writing Assessment Technique In A First Grade Classroom, Nancy F. Miller

Graduate Research Papers

Writing is a process. To assess involvement in a process, it needs to be described. Therefore, qualitative assessment needs to be applied. Portfolios, supported by other descriptive techniques, can be used not only to assess children's writing progress and instructional needs but to connect instruction and assessment. A collection of writing exhibits in a portfolio collected over time can show children, their teachers, and their caregivers progress and can assist them in setting goals for language activity and instruction in the future. Use of qualitative assessment rubrics, surveys, and parental involvement in the process of self-assessing are techniques from which …

Critical Thinking: Integration Into The Middle School Literature Classroom, Julia Denise Mook

Theses Digitization Project

The pendulum of educators' interests often swings back and forth. In the current climate of high stakes assessment, there appears to be a greater emphasis placed on literal recall of information when reading. While in the short term, this may benefit score reports, there is a concern that higher order thinking skills, such as analysis, will fall by the wayside. In so doing, there may be long term effects on the citizenry of this country. A lack of shared experiences, paired with little or no opportunity to discuss and discern, could lead to an inability to participate in and manage …
