Acknowledging the value of dance within education and as an art, this study examines teaching and learning experiences and their effect in the status and ethos of dance. The main focus of this study was to examine dance education and training in tertiary education (further and higher) in England and in Greece. The aim was to find similarities and differences in teachers' approaches in order to improve understanding of what affects students' learning experiences and future choices. Methodology is based on a comparative study, predominately qualitative, that focuses on individuals' experiences. The methods used were documentations, interviews, observations, and questionnaires from people who experience and teach dance within further education dance institutions. This study is part of a Ph.D. thesis.

Σε αυτή τη διατριβή υλοποιήθηκε μια συγκριτική μελέτη εκπαίδευσης του χορού, μεταξύ Ελλάδας και Αγγλίας. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η βασική έρευνα περιελάβανε πολλαπλές περιπτωσιολογικές μελέτες που πραγματοποιήθηκαν σε ιδρύματα που προσφέρουν μαθήματα «τριτοβάθμιου επιπέδου» στην «εκπαίδευση και κατάρτιση χορού» Τα ερευνητικά ερωτήματα ήταν: 1) ποιο είναι το κοινωνικό-ιστορικό και πολιτικό πλαίσιο της εκπαίδευσης χορού σε ανώτερες και ανώτατες σπουδές στην Αγγλία και την Ελλάδα; 2) Ποια είναι η πραγματικότητα του χορού στην ανώτερη και ανώτατη εκπαίδευση στην Αγγλία και στην Ελλάδα; 3) Ποιες είναι οι ομοιότητες και οι διαφορές της εκπαίδευσης και της κατάρτισης του χορού σε τριτοβάθμιο επίπεδο στην Αγγλία και την Ελλάδα; 4) Τι μπορεί να μάθει / εφαρμοστεί πέραν των εθνικών συνόρων για τη βελτίωση της εκπαίδευσης και της κατάρτισης του χορού; Μια ερμηνευτική, κυρίως ποιοτική μελέτη πραγματοποιήθηκε με ένα τροποποιημένο θεωρητικό μοντέλο για τη διερεύνηση της μάθησης και της διδασκαλίας του χορού. Οι παράγοντες της προετοιμασίας, της διαδικασίας και των προϊόντων περιλάμβαναν το σκεπτικό, το σχεδιασμό και την ανάλυση της μελέτης. Χρησιμοποιήθηκαν πολλαπλές περιπτωσιολογικές μελέτες για να αποκτήσουμε γνώσεις μεταξύ των ιδρυμάτων χορού εντός και μεταξύ των δύο χωρών. Συνολικές πήραν μέρος έξι ιδρύματα, τρία στην Ελλάδα και τρία στην Αγγλία, επιτρέποντας μια συγκριτική ανάλυση που εξετάζει τις ομοιότητες και τις διαφορές μεταξύ εθνικών συνόρων. Οι μέθοδοι περιλάμβαναν τη χρήση τεκμηρίωσης οδηγών σπουδών, παρατήρησης, συνεντεύξεων και ερωτηματολογίων από μαθήματα/διαλέξεις και εμπλεκόμενα άτομα μέσα σε κάθε ένα από τα έξι χορευτικά ιδρύματα. Αναλύθηκαν τα αναλυτικά προγράμματα σπουδών και τα θεσμικά έγγραφα, δόθηκαν ερωτηματολόγια σε τριτοετής μαθητές (97), πραγματοποιήθηκαν συνεντεύξεις με φοιτητές (18), με καθηγητές (6) και με επικεφαλής των τμημάτων (6). Οι παρατηρήσεις διήρκησαν δύο εβδομάδες σε καθένα από τα έξι ιδρύματα. Τα ευρήματα αποκάλυψαν ότι η θέση του χορού στην εκπαίδευση καθορίζεται από το κοινωνικό-ιστορικό πλαίσιο που διαμορφώνει και διαιωνίζει τόσο την κατάσταση όσο και την κυρίαρχη κατανόηση του χορού. Η έρευνα αποκάλυψε πολλές διαφορές, ιδιαίτερα στη μετάδοση της γνώσης και της διδασκαλίας όσον αφορά το στυλ, τις προσδοκίες και τα αποτελέσματα. Το αγγλικό σύστημα είχε περισσότερες δυνατότητες για την αυτονομία της ανάπτυξης μαθημάτων, την αφοσίωση των μαθητών και τις ευκαιρίες σταδιοδρομίας από αυτό στην Ελλάδα και ακολουθεί μια ολιστική προσέγγιση γνώσης του χορού. Δεν υπήρχε πιθανότητα διακοπής του κύκλου στην Ελλάδα χωρίς «δανεισμό» ιδεών από άλλες χώρες, όπως αυτές που αποκαλύφθηκαν στα ευρήματα αυτής της μελέτης.

This study set out to explore the use of the Internet in peer-to-peer learning environments within vocational education and training and to investigate whether this approach could replace traditional teaching and learning. A mixed methods design, including classroom observations, design experiments, interviews and questionnaires was adopted. Although this study represents a mid-term report on work in progress only, a number of observations can nevertheless be made about the process of conducting research within Further Education (FE) colleges. Whilst, traditionally, the pursuit of research is not a priority within FE colleges, this study has encouraged lecturers in Highbury College, Portsmouth, United Kingdom to trial a research-based approach to curriculum development. They have worked as co-researchers in the study from the conceptual phase to implementation. This paper outlines the process of conducting research in partnership with Business lecturers at Highbury College. It presents preliminary findings based on the researcher and lecturers’ reflections on the research methodology and process followed over a period of 9 months.Keywords: Emergent learning; FE Colleges; SOLE; vocational education and training(Published: 28 August 2014)Citation: Research in Learning Technology 2014, 22: 24614 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v22.24614

Under globalisation, comparative educational studies have become more relevant. This paper is the first of its kind to compare education and training for principals in Vietnam and the U.S. and will offer among the few systematic studies on school leadership in Vietnam. Utilizing previous research on educational leadership and culture in the U.S. and Vietnam, and survey results from Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 2018, I used t-test analyses to test several hypotheses about the differences between principals in the two countries. The findings suggest differences in age, gender, managerial experience, teaching obligation, and obtained levels of education and training between American principals and Vietnamese principals. Principals in the U.S. are younger and less experienced than principals in Vietnam. Level of education and need for professional development programs potentially indicate that American principals receive more thorough training in their education compared to Vietnamese principals. Accordingly, this comparative study provides valuable insights for both countries and contributes to diversifying the literature on educational leadership which the West has long dominated.

The story of Lot is one of many shared by the Qur'an and the Torah, and Lot's offer of his two daughters to his people is presented in a similar way in the two books. This article compares the status of Lot in the Qur'an and Torah, and explores the moral dimensions of his character, and what scholars of the two religions make of this story. The significance of the episodes in which Lot offers his daughters to his people lies in the similarities and differences of the accounts given in the two books and the fact that, in both the past and the present, this story has presented moral problems and criticism has been leveled at Lot. Context is crucial in understanding this story, and exploration of the ways in which Lot and his people are presented is also useful in terms of comparative studies of the two scriptures. This article is divided into three sections: the first explores the depiction of Lot in the two texts, the second explores his moral limitations, and the third discusses the interpretations of various exegetes and scholars of the two books. Although there are similarities between the Qur'anic and Talmudic accounts of this episode, it is read differently by scholars from the two religions because of the different contexts of the respective accounts.

In their 1997 green paper on tertiary education the Ministry of Education said, "to ensure our prosperity New Zealand needs to be a 'learning society' recognising the importance for all of our people to continue to develop new skills and knowledge throughout a person’s lifetime." Given the importance of an educated and adaptable workforce, there is surprisingly little information available on education and training undertaken in New Zealand. While some information is collected on those enrolled in study towards formal education qualifications, there is little available information on human capital development beyond this. One of the few sources of information is the Education and Training Survey (ETS), conducted in September 1996. This paper uses information collected in the ETS to look at the characteristics of those participating in education and training as well as the barriers to and reasons for participation in education and training. lt then goes on to compare the labour market outcomes of those people who participated in education and training with those who did not.
