Subject choice at Advanced level is largely felt to be freely made rather than enforced.
-
Attitudes to wider courses are adverse rather than favourable.
-
High ability pupils are relatively concentrated in specialist courses, particularly the Sciences.
-
Many specialist pupils have a very wide range of achievement at Ordinary level.
-
The more able pupils make earlier subject choice decisions than the weaker: Science specialists show earliest decision times.
-
Subject choice is seen as easy rather than difficult by three‐fifths of the sample pupils, and by three‐quarters of Science specialists.
-
Science subjects are perceived, by either sex, as more closely interrelated than Arts subjects.
-
Mathematics is unusual in that it consistently attracts higher rates of dislike than other subjects, though four‐fifths of those taking it would still select it if a choice had to be made again.

The traditional role of universities throughout the world has always been to:
-
safeguard and preserve knowledge
-
impart and disseminate knowledge
-
expand the frontiers of knowledge
To this list was recently added a fourth dimension, which, implicitely, has always existed, namely:
-
to contribute to the cultural, social and economic development of society
The main points raised in discussions were as follows:
-
the current situation and trends in tertiary education;
-
the recognition of degrees and diplomas;
-
the future existence of the Committee for Higher Education and Research;
-
the current situation and trends in university research;
-
the teaching of human rights;
-
mobility of higher education staff and students;
-
the future programme of the Committee.
The information presented below concentrates on some of the above points. 相似文献

the degree of learning segregation within integrated junior high schools in Israel;
-
several factors which may explain the degree of learning segregation; (3) the effect of learning segregation on academic outcomes: achievement (in reading and science) and subsequent school career (student placement in high school track).
-
? Social cohesion, democratic values, and national identity are emphasized the most in the civics curriculum.
-
? The democratic values promoted in the traditional period are used as a means to distinguish democratic Taiwan from totalitarian Communist China.
-
? Self cultivation is less emphasized than in the traditional period.
-
? National identity is promoted less as a fundamental value than in traditional civics education.
-
? Because of social and environmental change, the new civics education integrates several Western values into the curriculum.

- the increase in labour productivity is decreasing the employment opportunities in agriculture,
-
- agricultural research is offering many new opportunities to increase productivity,
-
- government price support for agricultural products in industrial countries is decreasing.
-
- the knowledge and capabilities of farmers has become a major factor in their ability to compete in national and international markets,
-
- advice is not only needed on the adoption of new technologies, but also on many other decisions farmers have to make, such as the choice of their farming system and the decision whether or not to earn an income from outside agriculture,
-
- this requires a change in extension methods and in the information sources extension agents use,
-
- agricultural development demands painful changes in the way of farming and of living for many farm families. It is a challenge for extension agencies to help farm families to realise this,
-
- a major task for leaders of extension organisations is to manage a process of change in agricultural extension. Often the role extension has to play in agricultural development can not be performed by one extension organisation, but only by a pluralistic extension system.

(2) local forms of inspection were completely ineffective;

(3) a strong central government inspectorate was much more effective but made mistakes in its formative years;

Students were taught how to use mole maps to assist them in solving single‐quantity and multiple‐quantity mole problems. A mole problem involves converting quantities of chemicals to moles, a unit of measurement used in Chemistry. Students took tests immediately after instruction and then took mid‐term examinations that included mole problems. Repeated measures analyses with post‐instruction test scores and the mid‐term scores for single and multiple‐quantity mole problems showed that student performance was significantly better immediately after instruction for both kinds of problems. Students who used visual organisers and cooperative learning outperformed students who experienced teacher‐directed instruction on single‐quantity mole problems and also on the immediate post‐instruction test of multiple‐quantity mole problems. Cooperative learning resulted in less decay in performance over time. 相似文献

A.Drawbacks to attending evening classes
-
(i) In the group of students investigated the main drawback to attending evening classes was item 3 (the rush to get to classes from work).
-
(ii) The main difference among the students was in the importance attached to item 9 (domestic commitments), married students finding it as important as item 3.
-
(iii) Choices made by students in different courses were fairly homogeneous, apart from the domestic courses. This seems to indicate that the factors making for wastage are not functions of the courses taken, so much as of age, sex, marital status, etc.
-
B. Incentives to attending evening classes
-
(i) The main incentive was item 1 (it will be useful in getting a better job).
-
(ii) Items 2 (it will help in getting promotion in my present job) and 3 (it will be of general educational value) were ranked next in importance to item 1.
-
(iii) Responses to the preferred items 1, 2, and 3 were relatively homogeneous when the data were arranged to isolate sex difference, marital status, and age.
-
(iv) All courses except the domestic ones made similar choices in this question.

its development through the video age in the seventies and eighties, with widening scope and opportunity as a result of developments in production and reception/recording equipment and an expansion of communication channels;

its present potential, at the dawn of the interactive age, as a result of the influences of new technology.
The article then examines the problems of integrating new television‐related technologies into the educational system and draws attention to:
-
the frequent past failures of the educational system to fully exploit new technologies, resulting in superficial integration and ineffectual use;
-
the current tensions between the traditional educational technology approach and the drives behind much new technology;
-
the need for appropriate systems and structures to ensure that the evaluation of such new technologies is properly resourced and effectively carried out.

second, hopes and expectations towards various institutions connected with early childhood education in a new political and social situation and in the time of implementation of free market rules which caused unfavourable phenomena in early childhood education, eg. closures of settings and increase of fees paid by parents who take children away for financial reasons,

finally, I present my own image of early childhood setting as an institution supporting parents in fulfilling their educational and care duties and involving them in the growth process of a child.
