  • Teaching Students' Understanding of Innovative Pedagogy

    Teaching Students' Understanding of Innovative Pedagogy

    European Scientific Journal February 2017 edition Vol.13, No.4 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Teaching Students’ Understanding of Innovative Pedagogy Dr. Edni Naifeld, (PhD) Dr. Eitan Simon,( PhD) Ohalo College, Israel doi: 10.19044/esj.2017.v13n4p15 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2017.v13n4p15 Abstract The education system, is responsible for the training of each new generation, and consequently adapts itself over the years to changes in the surrounding society. Technological changes, the information revolution and changes in work habits necessitate fundamental change in teaching methods, so that it can appropriately prepare future generations for modern reality. The Teaching and Education College in northern Israel offers programs to train “future teachers”, highlighting dynamic environments, the integration of technology in teaching and innovative pedagogy. A qualitative study used an open-ended questionnaire to investigate students’ perceptions of the concepts “innovative pedagogy” and “integration of technology in teaching” during their first practicum year in the education system. Findings showed that the young students find it difficult to conceptualize these concepts and describe them in a superficial and concrete manner. Mediation is needed, to connect college learning of these concepts with the students’ practical work in the field. Keywords: Teacher- training, 21st century, education- technology, innovative-pedagogy, novice-teachers Introduction: One of the tasks of the education system is to prepare its pupils for adult life and successful integration within the employment market. The demands of this market alter with developments in industry, technology and science. In 1970, essential skills for most employees included reading, writing and arithmetic, yet at the end of the 20th century, employees were required to demonstrate ability for team work, problem-solving and interpersonal skills.

    Jeffreytwitchell-Waas “Poem Beginning 'The'” Has Been Described Aptly As Zu

    “O my son Sun”: Poem beginning “The” JeffreyTwitchell-Waas “Poem beginning ‘The’” has been described aptly as Zukofsky’s “calling card” when in 1928 the young, unknown poet submitted it to Ezra Pound for publication in The Exile .1 All things considered, the poem was certainly a personal success, immediately introducing him to a world of relatively established modernist poets and the promise of further publication. Recently the poem has attracted a disproportionate amount of critical attention primarily because it addresses the intersection of and tensions between modernism and Jewishness, as well as having the advantage of appearing more accessible than the rest of Zukofsky’s major poems. However, the common reading of the poem, as centrally concerned with a young Jewish poet who must assert his ethnic identity against prevailing modernist ideologies that would marginalize him, is untenable. 2 It would be more plausible to read the poem as leaving behind such an identity or as explaining why he has already done so: although he certainly does not reject his Jewishness as an inevitable part of his make-up and work, he does reject Jewishness as an identity out of which he consciously writes or that would frame how he is to be read. In “Poem beginning ‘The’” poetic modernism (and to a degree political modernism) offers a way out of this narrower self-definition. A question that has not been asked is why “Poem beginning ‘The’” remains a one- off—there is almost nothing else like it in tone or manner in Zukofsky’s subsequent writing. One consequence is that whatever the intrinsic interest of the poem, it is a poor basis for making generalizations about Zukofsky’s poetry and attitudes.

A fee will be charged. ABSTRACT Yiddish and the Avant-Garde in American Jewish Poetry Sarah Ponichtera This dissertation traces the evolution of a formalist literary strategy through the twentieth century in both Yiddish and English, through literary and historical analyses of poets and poetic groups from the turn of the century until the 1980s. It begins by exploring the ways in which the Yiddish poet Yehoash built on the contemporary interest in the primitive as he developed his aesthetics in the 1900s, then turns to the modernist poetic group In zikh (the Introspectivists) and their efforts to explore primitive states of consciousness in individual subjectivity. In the third chapter, the project turns to Louis Zukofsky's inclusion of Yehoash's Yiddish translations of Japanese poetry in his own English epic, written in dialogue with Ezra Pound. It concludes with an examination of the Language poets of the 1970s, particularly Charles Bernstein's experimental verse, which explores the way that language shapes consciousness through the use of critical and linguistic discourse. Each of these poets or poetic groups uses experimental poetry as a lens through which to peer at the intersections of language and consciousness, and each explicitly identifies Yiddish (whether as symbol or reality) as an essential component of their poetic technique.

  • Walter Pater — Imagism — Objectivist Verse

    Walter Pater — Imagism — Objectivist Verse

    22 WALTER PATER — IMAGISM — OBJECTIVIST VERSE Richard Parker (The University of Sussex) Abstract In this paper I make a two-fold argument; first that the Objectivist inheritance from modernism is, in a specific sense, Paterian, and secondly, that this Paterian influence (manifested principally in the form of the Paterian aesthetic moment) is not, as might be assumed, in conflict with the political tendencies exhibited by my central examples—Ezra Pound and Louis Zukofsky—but that the arguably apolitical aesthetic moment is in fact key to their political understandings. I will begin analysing how the Paterian moment lingers in Pound's poetry, especially his Imagist and Vorticist work, and is still at the core of his poetics when he begins The Cantos . I will then go on to argue that this same Paterian aesthetic moment continues in the early work of second-generation Modernists the Objectivists, and will look at the works of Louis as a representative example. I will then argue that this group of poets' Communism is not a break with their engagement with Paterian aestheticism, but that the Paterian moment is in fact alloyed with their understanding of Marxist-Leninism. The engagement with the far left that is generally supposed to mark these writers' defining divide with their modernist forebears will therefore be shown to be more closely linked to the older generation's practices than it might be thought and I will, finally, question the apparently aesthetic basis of Pound's alignment with the far-right. A consensus has developed regarding Walter Pater's influence upon the early stages of literary modernism.

    Gender Effect on Student Teachers' Attitudes Toward Peer Feedback in a Wiki Learning Environment Yehuda Peled, Western Galilee

    Gender Effect on Student Teachers' Attitudes toward Peer Feedback in a Wiki Learning Environment Yehuda Peled, Western Galilee College, Israel Rakefet Sharon, Ohalo College, Israel The Asian Conference on Society, Education & Technology 2014 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The focus of this research is pre-teachers’ attitudes toward peer feedback in a wiki learning environment and its relation to their self-esteem. Results indicate that women find it harder to give and receive feedback. Men agree more with statements that represent high self-esteem. Women agree more with statements which represent lower self-esteem and learning from others. A correlation exists between self-esteem and readiness to give and receive feedback. Self-esteem has a gender-related influence on the willingness to give and receive feedback. Gender influences the tendency to pass the responsibility for feedback to the lecturer. This paper discusses the implication of these findings, as they relate to the education system with its majority of female teachers. We discuss the influence of these findings on the preparedness of the system to embrace meaningful learning based on critical thinking and constructive feedback, which are based on self-confident teachers and willingness to give and receive feedback, both from students and teachers. In conclusion, we discuss the following issues: How well do colleges prepare teachers for the task of building evaluation processes that include critical thinking and feedback both from peers and students?

    INTEGRATING ARAB and JEWISH STUDENTS in COLLEGES in ISRAEL: OHALO COLLEGE AS a CASE STUDY Saleh Kharanbeh Ohalo College ABSTRACT

    International Journal of Asian History, Culture and Tradition Vol.5, No.2, pp.18-31, June 2018 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) INTEGRATING ARAB AND JEWISH STUDENTS IN COLLEGES IN ISRAEL: OHALO COLLEGE AS A CASE STUDY Saleh Kharanbeh Ohalo College ABSTRACT: The present article attempts to check the possibility of integrating Arab and Jewish students in colleges in the state, the current integration at Ohalo College is used as a case study. Participants comprised thirty Jewish and Arab, male and female students at Ohalo College in Katzrin, Israel. The current study investigated whether such integration can promote peace between Jews and Arabs. Aspiration for peace is a significant value of life in Israel, and it appears in various contexts and in political discussions. Peace promotes tolerance, prevents violence, and creates dialogue among the parties. Education for peace, which is expressed in integrating Jewish and Arab students, increases the value of higher education in general and the value of education for the Arab community, in particular, due to the inferior status Arabs in the state.The current study discusses the existing types of integration besides the integration possibilities in various academic institutions along with the hardships and obstacles that prevent Arab students from integrating as equals in the Jewish community. KEYWORDS: Arab Student, Jewish Student, Peace, Israel INTRODUCTION Historical Background The question of why there is need for integrating Arab and Jewish students in colleges in Israel and the historical background of such a need will be discussed. The hard situation of Arab citizens in Israel stems from their inferior position as an ethnic minority.

  • Effeminizing Louis Zukofsky Louis Zukofsky Şiirleri Ve Şiirin Cinsiyeti

    Effeminizing Louis Zukofsky Louis Zukofsky Şiirleri Ve Şiirin Cinsiyeti

    Man Engendered: Effeminizing Louis Zukofsky Louis Zukofsky Şiirleri ve Şiirin Cinsiyeti Dror Abend-David University of Florida, US Abstract This article considers the poetry of Louis Zukofsky, who writes from the margins of American society in the beginning of the twentieth century as he comes from a poor family of Jewish immigrants. The article applies a number of attributes that are associated with Women’s Poetry to Zukofsky’s work. The purpose of the article, however, is not to demonstrate that Zukofsky’s poetry is feminine, but that literary characteristics that are labeled feminine are common to writers of different backgrounds that are forced to create from the margins. Such writers are forced to merge the public and the personal and to deconstruct poetic norms, creating new forms of self-expression that will contain their different identities. Keywords: Zukofsky, Gender, Jewish Culture, Identity, Social Hierarchy. Öz Bu makalede, Yahudi göçmeni fakir bir aileden geldiği için yirminci yüzyılın başlarında Amerikan toplumundan dışlanmış bir yazar olan Louis Zukofsky’nin şiirleri ele alınmıştır. Zukofsky’nin eserleri, “kadın yazını” ile ilişkilendirilerek birçok açıdan incelenmiştir. Ancak makalenin yazılış amacı Zukofsky’nin şiirlerinin kadın şairlerin eserleriyle benzerliklerinin olduğunu göstermek değil, kadın şairlere özgü olarak nitelenen yazın özelliklerinin, aslında toplum dışına itilen tüm yazarlarda görüldüğünü açıklamaktır. Böyle yazarlar, toplumla kendi kişiliklerini harmanlayıp alışılmış şiir yapılarını yıkar, özgün kimliklerini yansıtıp kendilerini ifade edebilecekleri yeni yapılar oluşturur. Anahtar Kelimeler: Zukofsky, Toplumsal Cinsiyet, Yahudi Kültürü, Kimlik, Toplumsal Hiyerarşi. To say that she just ‘happened to be a woman’ is to suggest that gender is irrelevant, that it is immaterial to the production and the reception of poetry.
