To investigate instructional planning strategies that impact student improvement in argumentative writing, the teacher-researcher implemented an Integrated Writing intervention in a seventh-grade urban school classroom to impact student writing, student feedback, and teacher reflection. Utilizing a mixed-methods Action Research study, the teacher-researcher collected qualitative and quantitative data during two 4-week instructional units utilizing a blogging site. Two iterations of data were analyzed for the inclusion of cognitive complexity. This study showed the effectiveness of using the Integrated Writing intervention in promoting students’ ability to write effective cognitively complex arguments.

An imperative underpinning the redetermination of education theory and practice is mobility. Mobility encompasses freedom of movement through myriad contexts (physical and cerebral), cultures, and knowledge. Digital natives embrace this mobility, interacting with each other and engaging with new literacies to communicate, access rich contexts, question, and collaborate. There are, however, few studies that investigate the efficacy of blended m-learning as an enhancement to literacy, especially with Gulf learners. Therefore, this chapter describes the background and implementation of ICT enhanced learning and teaching (ICTELT) blended m-learning academic writing intervention piloted at Dubai Men’s College (DMC). Findings from the research study are reported and discussed.

In this article the status of teaching as a profession and the morale of teachers in Australian schools in the current era provide a framework for the examination of the intent and outcomes of teaching excellence awards. The research study applied an interpretive research paradigm and used both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The methodology and the theoretical framework were based on organisational and sociological paradigms. Data informing the study were collected from 44 award recipients and 57 of their colleagues between the years 2000 and 2002. Documentation relating to the promotion and process of awards was also examined. The introduction of teaching excellence awards into the school education sector is found to be a reflection of the economic era in which the current education system is situated. The paper concludes that the awards process may be potentially politically manipulative.

Study designs have numerous advantages and disadvantages that must be considered when addressing a research question, hypothesis, and objective. These include but are not limited to cost, feasibility, and ethical concerns. This review describes common study designs from the dysphagia literature with corresponding relevant examples for each design type. Further, discussion of the main differences between descriptive and analytical, qualitative and quantitative, observational and experimental, and retrospective and prospective study designs is provided. Specific aspects of various study designs, including matching, randomization, and blinding are also discussed. Finally, the importance of working closely with experts, such as epidemiologists and biostatisticians, in the early stages of research to assist with selection of the most appropriate study design and development of the research protocol is strongly recommended.

The transgender people called HIJRA are one of the minor communities in Bangladesh. This research study was intended to explore the social status (education, religion, economy, civil-rights) and physical-psychoactive impacts of the HIJRA community in Khulna, Bangladesh. We have already spent more than 48 years of liberation, but we haven’t ensured the proper human rights for HIJRAs. The following study aims to find out some major issues (like social status and psychological behavior) from HIJRAs. To acquire those results it uses the questionnaire survey. The study exposed that they are one of the underprivileged and unlearned communities in Bangladesh. Though they have their own gender recognition, they are subjected to a terrifying tribulation in their daily life. In the development policy, this discrimination hinders the goals of inner and outer development. For fetching the outcome of this study, researchers used both exploratory and descriptive analysis methods with qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Furthermore, the findings of this study are - (a) Economic condition of the HIJRAs. (b) Religious and educational information of the HIJRAs, and (c) Physical and psychoactive issues which caused some dangerous issues on their life.

The researcher has tried Activating Background Knowledge as a strategy to improve reading comprehension skills of the students in the First Year B.Com. Classroom in a degree college affiliated to the University of Mumbai. The teacher-researcher assigned two passages dealing with two different social issues and set in two different contexts, i.e., foreign and local, for comprehension to the students in the classroom. The classroom experience indicated that activating and building on the students’ background knowledge did help in facilitating their reading comprehension skills. The paper thus recommends it as an effective strategy to develop the students’ reading comprehension skills. </span></p>

ResumoA Geografia possui como objeto de análise a relação sociedade-natureza e, neste contexto, a temática ambiental é fortemente marcada no seu discurso. Os mapas revelam, então, uma complexa e valiosa linguagem para a compreensão do espaço geográfico. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo teve como objetivo geral contribuir para estudos geográficos de Cartografia Escolar enfatizando problemas ambientais de Quevedos/RS. O método científico utilizado foi o fenomenológico e a forma de abordagem foi qualitativa e descritiva. Com base nos resultados da pesquisa, acredita-se que as práticas vinculadas ao entendimento ambiental local, como a construção de mapas mentais, a utilização de materiais de ensino voltados ao município (Hipermapa) e a reflexão sistematizada e escrita sobre a sua realidade ambiental contribuem para o entendimento do espaço e das verdades temporárias sobre o “mundo” de modo articulado, inter-relacional e sistêmico, permitindo um pensar mais reflexivo e despertando o sentimento de pertencimento e de identidade dos educandos.Palavras-chave: Estudo do lugar.

Therefore, maps are seen as a complex and valuable means for the understanding of geographical areas. This study aimed to contribute to the geographical research regarding School Cartography by drawing attention to environmental problems in the municipality of Quevedos/RS. It consisted of a phenomenological research study which combined qualitative and quantitative approaches. Based on the results, it is believed that the practices linked to the local environmental understanding, such as the construction of mental maps, the use of teaching materials related to the municipality (Hypermap), and the written systematic thinking about its environmental reality contribute to the understanding of geographical space and temporary truths about the ‘world’ in a pivotal, interrelated and systemic way. This allows the students to think more thoughtfully, thus developing a sense of belonging and identity.Keywords: The study of the area. Living space.
