Teacher Classroom

The education model in which a single teacher instructs a single classroom of students has been remarkably persistent, but teacher shortages, low morale, and poor teacher retention are signs that it’s not working well for teachers. Ray Reutzel and Parker Fawson describe how Utah’s Center for the School of the Future is seeking to redesign the teacher workforce to improve outcomes for both teachers and students without increasing costs. Their integrated workforce model brings students together in a pod led by a master teacher, classroom teachers, teacher interns, aides, and tutors. Students receive more individualized support, and prospective teachers have more opportunities to practice their skills before receiving a license and becoming a lead teacher. The model also includes pathways for paraprofessionals to complete education coursework while they continue to earn an income.

<em>The purpose of this research is to describe the implementation of Natural Environment Approach (PLAS) to improve the science process skill in elementary school students. This classroom action research is a collaborative study conducted by teachers and prospective teachers. The subjects of this study were teachers and students of class V. The results showed that the application of PLAS can improve the science process skill through the steps of: (1) determining the learning objectives, tools and instruments needed, and instructional activities, (2) the students are divided into several groups, (4) investigating and observing objects, discussing task sheets, and recording information, (5) reporting findings, (6) conclusions and evaluations of learning.</em>

A new vision of higher education systems, in which the student is the central subject of the teaching process, opens up new learning opportunities that include customization of teaching methods to the students’ needs, and new modes of communication both between teachers and students and among students themselves. The main subject of this chapter is the implementation and improvement of the Student Relationship Management (SRM) concept as a cloud service in an e-education system by using social media. The experimental part of the chapter presents the design and implementation of an e-education model based on cloud computing. The proposed model is implemented at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade, by using the existing cloud computing infrastructure of the Laboratory for E-Business.

Collaboration is an important aspect of how our world functions today and an element at the core of rich learning opportunities. The role of educational institutions is one that provides provoking settings so that learning is deep and sustained well beyond the classroom walls. Learners are currently in a paradigm where they are able to learn at all hours of the day; they are no longer in a framework where learning is exclusive to a classroom. Teachers and students at The Bishop Strachan School are exploring this through the various uses of teaching and learning strategies and enriching these strategies with Web 2.0 applications. This chapter will present early explorations in the school with Wiki pages, social networking tools, such as NINGs, interactive timelines, and real-time applications, such as Google apps. Each of the cases provides an authentic learning experience for students and moves the student’s work out into the world.

Different Levels

With the continuous development of computer network and the popularity of internet applications, technology is constantly changing the traditional education model. The rise of the MOOC has set off a worldwide revolution in educational technology, which has been widely welcomed by university teachers and students. On the platforms of MOOC, the learning behaviours of college students have generated massive amounts of relevant data. Teachers can tap learning behaviours, master different types of learning styles to better control the learning steps and urge college students to better participate in all aspects of learning. Based on the MOOC platform, this paper classifies the students into excellent learners, middle learners, poor learners and non-learners by cluster analysis to teach students of different levels in different ways to optimize the MOOC teaching effect.

North Carolina legislation mandating services for the gifted as exceptional children has heightened the need for inservice preparation of regular classroom teachers. Inservice preparation for rural school teachers is complicated by a scarcity of resource personnel and a lack of continuity and reinforcement of inservice activities. E.S.E.A. Title IV-C Project G.A.I.T. (Gifted Are Important Too) has demonstrated a program design for rural schools which includes a pre- and postassessment of teaching styles with the CAQ (Class Activities Questionnaire), program instruction of both teachers and students in the use of Bloom's Taxonomy with S.O.A.R. (Stages for Opportunities to Academic Realization), and reinforced monthly by teacher demonstrations of related learning activities. The active participation of the teachers in the inservice activity seemed to enhance their effectiveness as resource personnel for gifted education in their respective schools.

Transformational Geometry

Many current elementary textbooks and curriculum guides are placing increasing emphasis on the teaching of transformational geometry. This topic, however, is still relatively unfamiliar to many classroom teachers, and ways of helping teachers and students acquire a “feel” for simple, basic transformations are needed.

After more than four decades, development of artificially intelligent tutoring systems has been constrained by two interrelated problems: knowledge representation and natural language understanding. G. S. Maccia's epistemology of intelligent natural systems implies that computer systems will need to develop qualitative intelligence before these problems can be solved. Recent research on how human nervous systems develop provides evidence for the significance of qualitative intelligence. Qualitative intelligence is required for understanding of culturally bound meanings of signs used in communication among intelligent natural systems. S. I. Greenspan provides neurological and clinical evidence that emotion and sensation are vital to the growth of mind—capabilities that computer systems do not currently possess. Therefore, we must view computers in education as media through which a multitude of teachers can convey their messages. This does not mean that the role of classroom teachers is diminished. Teachers and students can be empowered by these additional learning resources.

Children with special needs require individualized learning services based on the problems they have. Teachers are required to have sufficient capacity in providing services to children with special needs, the services given must be different from the children in general. Especially in designing learning, teachers should accommodate the needs of the team teaching. Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Badrussalam Surabaya is a relatively new pioneering school of inclusion, so the teacher needs to be strengthened with intensive mentoring capacity. As a result, the concept of curriculum integration, lesson plans integration, and the integration of three components of teachers, special assistance teacher, classroom teachers, and subject teachers, who have been assisting children with special needs students can establish more intensive communication and collaboration and mutually reinforcing between one and Others. Teachers provide constructive feedback on the best interests of providing the best service for the students of children with special needs. Each teacher has already felt that the students with the special needs are a shared responsibility, unable to grow only to classroom teachers or Children with special needs only.
