This article presents the key findings of a research study conducted in two school districts. Three intertwined policy issues were investigated: (a) the classification of students for various educational services, (b) the impact of these practices on the way students are taught to read, and (c) the implications of the classification- reading relationship for efforts to provide a quality education for all students. One cannot understand school practices in isolation from the particular, dynamic context in which they occur. The two districts in the study erected somewhat different configurations of reading-related programs and services that were found to bear critically on classification practices. This “service structure” was created from an interplay of beliefs, politics, and rationalizations about the validity of past practice. Although reading instruction was a major aspect of each program, administrators responsible for creating the service structure had limited knowledge of reading instruction. Reading coordinators with such knowledge had very limited influence upon the service structure. At the school and classroom levels, wide variations in practices were found both within schools in the same district and within classrooms in the same school. These variations stemmed from the broad discretion allowed school-level staff in certain aspects of program implementation, student classification, and instruction. This discretion was found to cause particular practices that adversely affected children-at-risk.

In this review of research in applied linguistics and language teaching and learning in Singapore, more than one hundred national publications for the period 2000–2007 will be reviewed. Since this period encompasses certain changes that were introduced in Singapore schools at the start of the new millennium, it would be appropriate to take stock of the studies that showcase these changes. These studies fall under five main areas of local research: norms, standards and models; English language curriculum and policy; reading and writing instruction and research; mother tongue teaching and learning; and the teaching of English to international students. In this review, representative work under each research area will be discussed, and this will be done within the broad historical and sociopolitical context of research in Singapore. The results of the review suggest that practical concerns assume priority over theoretical issues, which are relegated to secondary importance. This can be explained in terms of the role of the state in education reform and governance and its top–down decision-making processes, the impact of globalization on education, and the role of education in the management of race relations in the country.

This article aims to evaluate the impact of long-range pursuit programs using the Disscrepancy Model, developed by Malcolm Provus. Emphasizes the view of gaps in program implementation. The word discrepancy means gap, this model according to Madaus, Sriven & Stufflebeam (1993: 79-99) departs from the assumption that to find out the feasibility of a program, evaluators can compare what should be expected to happen (standard) with what actually happens (performance). . Comparing the two things, it can be seen whether there is a gap (discrepancy), namely the standard set with the actual performance. This model was developed by Malcolm Provus, aims to analyze a program whether the program is worth continuing, increasing, or terminating. teaching evaluation is a component in the teaching system, while the teaching system itself is an implementation of the curriculum, as an effort to create classroom learning. Oemar Hamalik (2001: 145) states, the evaluation process is generally student-centered. This means that evaluation is intended to observe student learning outcomes and seeks to determine how learning opportunities are. From the two opinions above, the evaluation is intended to observe a teaching process, which includes the role of the teacher, teaching strategies, curriculum materials, and learning principles applied to teaching.

Two studies examined the impact of macrolevel symbolic threat on intergroup attitudes. In Study 1 (N = 71), participants exposed to a macrosymbolic threat (vs. nonsymbolic threat and neutral topic) reported less support toward social policies concerning gay men, an outgroup whose stereotypes implies a threat to values, but not toward welfare recipients, a social group whose stereotypes do not imply a threat to values. Study 2 (N = 78) showed that, whereas macrolevel symbolic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward gay men, macroeconomic threat led to less favorable attitudes toward Asians, an outgroup whose stereotypes imply an economic threat. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for understanding the role of a general climate of threat in shaping intergroup attitudes.
