Recent developments in Palestinian higher education and the CEEPAT programme     

Antony T. Sullivan 《Minerva》1995,33(1):37-43

Conclusions Palestinian teachers at the pre-collegiate level who participate in the CEEPAT programme will, it is hoped, learn to place new emphasis on enhancement of their students' analytical skills and discourage an identification of knowledge with memorisation. For their part, Palestinian professors who have been trained to teach in the programme will presumably constitute a growing reservoir of talent which may be expected to raise the quality of Palestinian university education. Plans are now under way to give all Palestinians teaching under the auspices of CEEPAT an opportunity to attend an annual, three-week winter seminar in Gaza and/or a summer seminar in the United States, both of which will focus on issues of pedagogy and methodology. Such professors can be expected to pass on their new understanding of teaching via discussion to their colleagues and to their university students, thereby spreading an important pedagogical method to other segments of the Palestinian... community. 7 CEEPAT clearly has the potential to make a significant contribution to the elevation of educational standards in Palestine at a time of major historical change.In Palestine, higher education of quality is obviously a very serious business. It is understood that it underlies any possibility of individual betterment, economic development, or the evolution of an independent Palestinian state. If ever the Israeli occupation is completely terminated and the present financial crisis of the universities is solved, Palestinian university and post-baccalaureate training may reasonably be expected to become fully competitive on an international scale.  相似文献   

南非大学如何应对新世纪的挑战     

安东尼·梅尔克 《中国远程教育(综合版)》2001,(5):69-70

南非大学的历史可以追溯到1834年南非学院成立之日。继南非学院成立后，相继又有一些学院涌现出来。1858年大众考试委员会成立，这一委员会负责指导在好望角附近非洲南部的不列颠殖民地其他院校的考试事宜。1874年大众考试委员会与一所1873年新建立的大学合并，被命名为好望角大学，就是在这所大学的基础上产生了而后的南非大学。当时这所大学与英国伦敦大学的运作形式大体相似，仅仅是一个考试机构，主要是为那些准备参加大学入学考试的学习者提供服务。如今仍有一些院校保留着此种功能。 几乎是由于对邻近区域产生的直接兴趣，导致了1875…  相似文献

“Stop sending your kids across our border:” Discursively constructing the unaccompanied youth migrant     

Mary Grace Antony  Ryan J. Thomas 《Journal of International and Intercultural Communication》2017,10(1):4-24

The recent migration of 65,000 children across the southwestern border, coupled with allegations of abuse by the U.S. Border Patrol, enables the investigation of an overlooked immigrant category: the unaccompanied youth migrant. Analyzing audience responses to news reports of the abuse, we find that established disparaging immigrant tropes apply, describing the children as an economic burden, disease carriers, and offspring of irresponsible families. We uncover two new themes: Youth migrants are channels whereby criminals may infiltrate the U.S., and manipulate legal authorities to remain in the U.S. Finally, we demonstrate how global compassion is strategically deployed to qualify harsh retaliatory measures.  相似文献   

The Production of Tape/Slide Sequences     

Antony Francombe 《Educational Media International》2013,50(2):24-31

Tape/slide productions are essentially the arrangement of projected still pictures, often colour slides but sometimes black and white positives, into a sequence accompanied by taped sound to tell a story. This may be fiction, fantasy, documentary, experiential or reportage. Any of these forms or a compilation of them may form a magazine or audio-visual correspondence between schools, organisations or interested individuals. The usual formats are Instamatic 126 or 35mm slides. Sound is on reel to reel tapes at speeds 9–5cm per sec, or 19cms per sec, on cassette tapes.  相似文献

Teacher job satisfaction: lessons from the TSW Pathfinder Project     

Graham Butt  Ann Lance  Antony Fielding  Helen Gunter  Steve Rayner  Hywel Thomas 《School Leadership & Management》2013,33(5):455-471

Government policy assumes that modernization and remodelling will be effective as external intervention mechanisms to improve job satisfaction. Based on data collected as part of the evaluation of the ‘Transforming the School Workforce Pathfinder Project’, an argument is presented here which suggests that internal management models may be more effective in improving teacher job satisfaction. By comparing the responses of teachers within primary and special schools with those from secondary schools, internal factors are identified which may be more relevant than externally imposed measures.  相似文献
