Key Issues

This article summarizes issues in defining character education (CE) that are relevant to program development and evaluation. No authoritative definition exists for CE, but several features seem prominent. These include a focus on enhancing civic, moral, self-regulatory, and/or intellectual virtues; and (at least implicitly) prioritizing the shaping of participant identity over teaching skills. Within these broad parameters, programs vary widely in their targets and interventions. They can also vary in terms of emphasizing the same or individualized elements of character across students. The discussion finishes with a summary of elements of a CE program, and a call for well-planned evaluations.

The background of this research is early childhood in Hamlet 05 This Pioneer Village has polite behavior such as happy sharing, being gentle with friends, not quarreling when feeling unhappy, friendly, dislike to say dirty and like to share. This is presumably due to the low teaching skills of educators. This study aims to (1) describe the planting of character values from aspects of honesty (2) describing the planting of character values from the aspect of tolerance (3) describing the planting of character values from an independent aspect (4) describing the planting of character values from religious aspects (5) describing the planting of values characters from social care aspects in Dusun 05 Pioneer Village in Rimbo Bujang Subdistrict, Tebo District 30 people were made into the population. The technique used in sampling random sampling areas was taken forty-eight percent of respondents. The data collection technique uses questionnaires distributed to respondents, and data collection tools use questionnaires. Data analytical techniques with percentage formulas. So the results of the research are planting values of honesty, tolerance, independence, religiousness and social care in Hamlet 05 the Pioneer Village of Rimbo Bujang Subdistrict, Tebo District is categorized as high and good.Keywords: Character Education Planting

Education Today

The vast majority of contemporary scholars working in intellectual character education endeavor to identify those elements that render an educational program reliably successful at fostering the growth of intellectual excellences in students. In this article, I adopt an opposite perspective: I examine potential reasons as to why virtue-based approaches to education might fail to enable students to acquire intellectual virtues. Given the scarcity of accounts of educational failure in contemporary intellectual character education, I search for such accounts in the philosophical roots of the concept of intellectual virtues. In this article, I focus on Plato’s discussion of the eristic agent, namely, an individual who has developed epistemically valuable cognitive abilities but, due to insufficient moral character education, results in misusing them to pursue non-epistemic and quite often also non-moral ends. I argue that Plato’s account of the eristic practice has much to offer to intellectual character education today. It strongly indicates that intellectual virtues cannot be fostered in isolation from moral virtues and that the development of the students’ (1) epistemic emotions and (2) moral virtues should take place prior to the fostering of intellectual excellences in them.

Abstract: Islamic Boarding School at least have three specials role, (1). As institute Islamic education, (2). Da’wa institute and (3). Institute of society development. Kyai as leader of Islamic Boarding School has an important role in order to upgrading santri quality in the Islamic boarding school with His management to reach vision which expected by leader. Islamic Boarding School represent most effective place for the implementation of character education, because study process in the Islamic Boarding School during 24 hours, santri always in observation of leader and ustadz with specified discipline. Besides that santri civilized and conditioned with positive environment which useful activity for the development potency and personality for themselves.In “Annuriyyah” Kaliwining Islamic Boarding School planning base on character education, They tend to barer to all element, proved by planning to every decision making for formulation of vision, mission, target, and planning activity program. Development planning and progress of Islamic Boarding School always entangle inputs from all element in Islamic Boarding School. المنظمات الدعاية تاسسؤمو ،درسة داخلية لا يقل عن ثلاثة أدوار رئيسية مثل المؤسسات التعليمية الإسلامية وتنمية المجتمع. كياي كرعاة الصعود دورا هاما جدا في تحسين نوعية من الطلاب في مدرسة داخلية مسلحة الرؤية التي من المتوقع من قبل مقدمي الرعاية. مدرسة داخلية هي المكان الأكثر فعالية قيقتحمع الإدارة، و دائما تحت مه بلاطلاو ،لتنفيذ التعليم الطابع، لأن عملية التعلم في مدرسة داخلية تعمل لمدة 24 ساعة المزروعة بلاطلاو ،تم وضعها. وبالإضافة إلى ذلك تيلا حئاوللامع القواعد و سيسقإشراف مقدمي الرعاية، ووشخصيته. ةيمنتلا تاناكمإمع الأنشطة البيئية الإيجابية هو دائما مفيد لل ةفيكمو

Key Issues

In electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), the near-edge region of a core-loss edge contains information on high-order atomic correlations. These correlations give details of the 3-D atomic structure which can be elucidated using multiple-scattering (MS) theory. MS calculations use real space clusters making them ideal for use in low-symmetry systems such as defects and interfaces. When coupled with the atomic spatial resolution capabilities of the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), there therefore exists the ability to obtain 3-D structural information from individual atomic scale structures. For ceramic materials where the structure-property relationships are dominated by defects and interfaces, this methodology can provide unique information on key issues such as like-ion repulsion and the presence of vacancies, impurities and structural distortion.An example of the use of MS-theory is shown in fig 1, where an experimental oxygen K-edge from SrTiO3 is compared to full MS-calculations for successive shells (a shell consists of neighboring atoms, so that 1 shell includes only nearest neighbors, 2 shells includes first and second-nearest neighbors, and so on).

Abstract Mentoring has long been believed to be an effective means of developing students' clinical, research, and teaching skills to become competent professionals. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has developed two online mentoring programs, Student to Empowered Professional (S.T.E.P. 1:1) and Mentoring Academic Research Careers (MARC), to aid in the development of students. This paper provides a review of the literature on mentoring and compares and contrasts mentoring/mentors with clinical supervision/preceptors. Characteristics of effective mentors and mentees are offered. Additionally, the benefits of clinical mentoring such as, teambuilding in the workplace, retention of new staff, leadership development, and improved job satisfaction are discussed.
