  • The Philosophical Underpinnings of Educational Research
    The Philosophical Underpinnings of Educational Research Lindsay Mack Abstract This article traces the underlying theoretical framework of educational research. It outlines the definitions of epistemology, ontology and paradigm and the origins, main tenets, and key thinkers of the 3 paradigms; positivist, interpetivist and critical. By closely analyzing each paradigm, the literature review focuses on the ontological and epistemological assumptions of each paradigm. Finally the author analyzes not only the paradigm’s weakness but also the author’s own construct of reality and knowledge which align with the critical paradigm. Key terms: Paradigm, Ontology, Epistemology, Positivism, Interpretivism The English Language Teaching (ELT) field has moved from an ad hoc field with amateurish research to a much more serious enterprise of professionalism. More teachers are conducting research to not only inform their teaching in the classroom but also to bridge the gap between the external researcher dictating policy and the teacher negotiating that policy with the practical demands of their classroom. I was a layperson, not an educational researcher. Determined to emancipate myself from my layperson identity, I began to analyze the different philosophical underpinnings of each paradigm, reading about the great thinkers’ theories and the evolution of social science research. Through this process I began to examine how I view the world, thus realizing my own construction of knowledge and social reality, which is actually quite loose and chaotic. Most importantly, I realized that I identify most with the critical paradigm assumptions and that my future desired role as an educational researcher is to affect change and challenge dominant social and political discourses in ELT.

The project is comprehensive and far-reaching, and will consider the needs of students in all types of schools: public, separate, Francophone, charter and private. Phase 1 of the project reviewed the effectiveness of the current approach and then focused on defining a vision, mission and principles to guide the future direction of special education in Alberta. Phase 2 presented this vision, mission and principles to Albertans and asked them to consider five building blocks that that could herald positive and important change for students with special education needs.

  • Why Pedagogy Matters: the Importance of Teaching in a Standards-Based Environment Susan Entz, Instructor, Hawaii Community College
    Forum on Public Policy Why Pedagogy Matters: The Importance of Teaching In A Standards-Based Environment Susan Entz, Instructor, Hawaii Community College Abstract The goal of the standards movement has been to improve student outcomes for all children regardless of their backgrounds or risk factors. The focus has primarily been on the instructional, program or performance standards. Paramount importance has been placed on what children will do to demonstrate that they have learned. While important, there is another ingredient in achieving positive student outcomes. What teachers do and how they do it is critically important and has a profound impact on the quality of the educational experience for children. This paper presents the seminal work of the Center For Research On Education, Diversity and Excellence (CREDE), one of the twelve federally funded research centers on education. Its findings, summarized in five critical elements of effective pedagogy, demonstrate that when consistently implemented the result is greater student outcomes across the curriculum regardless of age, and higher academic test scores regardless of the student population. Application in early childhood education settings is also discussed. Pedagogy: The Science Of Teaching Word Origin--Greek: Paidagogas paidos—a boy a gogos-leader agein-to lead In Ancient Greece a paidagogos was a trusted slave who accompanied a child to his classes, ensured his good behavior in public, cared for his needs and tutored him with his homework. Introduction Teaching and learning are complex processes. Throughout history, society has looked for better ways to educate children. Americans are still struggling with that fundamental issue, particularly in light of our diverse population and the rapid rate of technological change.

  • Consumerism in the 1920S: Collected Commentary
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y HE WENTIES IN OMMENTARY T T C * Leonard Dove, The New Yorker, October 26, 1929 — CONSUMERISM — Mass-produced consumer goods like automobiles and ready-to-wear clothes were not new to the 1920s, nor were advertising or mail- order catalogues. But something was new about Americans’ relationship with manufactured products, and it was accelerating faster than it could be defined. Not only did the latest goods become necessities, consumption itself became a necessity, it seemed to observers. Was that good for America? Yes, said some—people can live in unprecedented comfort and material security. Not so fast, said others—can we predict where consumerism is taking us before we’re inextricably there? Something new has come to confront American democracy. Samuel Strauss The Fathers of the Nation did not foresee it. History had opened “Things Are in the Saddle” to their foresight most of the obstacles which might be expected The Atlantic Monthly to get in the way of the Republic—political corruption, extreme November 1924 wealth, foreign domination, faction, class rule; . That which has stolen across the path of American democracy and is already altering Americanism was not in their calculations. History gave them no hint of it. What is happening today is without precedent, at least so far as historical research has discovered. No reformer, no utopian, no physiocrat, no poet, no writer of fantastic romances saw in his dreams the particular development which is with us here and now. This is our proudest boast: “The American citizen has more comforts and conveniences than kings had two hundred years ago.” It is a fact, and this fact is the outward evidence of the new force which has crossed the path of American democracy.

  • “Playing God with People's Lives”: Leilani Muir
    “Playing God with People’s Lives”: Leilani Muir Morgan Ye and Nanditha Kolur Senior Division Group Exhibit Student-Composed Words: 500 Process Paper: 473 words Process Paper: Leilani Muir was a victim of the Alberta Sterilization Act, which called for the sterilization of those deemed as “defectives” in society. We decided to focus on this topic after seeing repeated eugenics propaganda appear in Schindler’s List when we viewed the film in history class, leading us to discover that it was a worldwide movement that included the United States and Canada. With the theme of tragedy and triumph in mind, we sought out an individual who had stood against eugenic ideals despite being a victim, leading us to Leilani Muir — the first person to file a successful lawsuit against the Albertan government for wrongful sterilization. For our research, we began by gathering background knowledge on Muir’s case and the eugenics movement using various Canadian databases and the Living Archives Project, providing factual data. To understand the perspectives of sterilization victims and integrate an emotional aspect into the exhibit content, we consulted numerous interviews by Muir and others institutionalized at the Provincial Training School in Alberta. While researching, we had discovered many relevant pieces written by Daniel Kevles, a professor of the history of science at Yale University, and reached out to him for an interview. This provided us with a new perspective on the eugenics movement and an additional synthesis to present-day gene-editing technologies. Furthermore, vital sources to our research include a transcript of the Muir v.

  • Effectiveness of Sex Education in Adolescents
    Study Protocol Effectiveness of Sex Education in Adolescents Aroa Cortínez-López 1, Daniel Cuesta-Lozano 2,* and Raquel Luengo-González 2 1 Obstetric Unit, Clinic University of Navarra, 28027 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] 2 Nursing and Physiotherapy Department, University of Alcala, Alcalá de Henares, 28805 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Adolescence is the time during which the personal and sexual identity develops. The specific characteristics of adolescents and the lack of maturity facilitates the acquisition of sexual risk behaviors such as relaxation in the use of barrier contraceptives or the use of toxic substances, alcohol or drugs during sexual relations, increasing of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. Health education in sexuality is one of the best ways to prevent risk behaviors and to promote healthy and responsible sexuality. While there have been different works in sex education in adolescents, there is still a lack of a comprehensive systematic literature review that including randomized and non-randomized clinical trials and quasi-experimental pre-post studies addressing education programs that provide information on healthy and responsible sexuality. Further, it is noted that a protocol drafted in consideration of the existing approaches is needed to present a basis for a systematic literature review in this area. This article, therefore, proposes a review protocol that will evaluate the impact of comprehensive sex education programs in the level of knowledge about STIs, behavioral level concerning the frequency of use of effective contraceptive methods and level of knowledge about sexual identity, diversity and/or responsible sexuality, after the intervention.
