Educational Orientations

The market for supplemental educational programs–tutorials, educational materials, summer programs–has burgeoned. Thus, it is important to understand factors that may influence parents’ choices for supplemental educational programs (SEPs). This article examines how parents’ political identity affects their preference for SEPs contingent on their focus on self. Using two main educational orientations−conformance-orientation and independence-orientation−the authors argue that SEPs with conformance-oriented pedagogy may be preferred more by conservative parents due to their higher need for structure. This association of political identity with preference for SEPs is moderated by self-focus. Counterintuitively, when using political orientation to target messages for SEPs, firms should frame messages to focus parents on their selves for identity-consistent effects to manifest. Five studies–including a field study–test this theorizing and replicate key results using different measures of political identity and self-focus.

Most college professors spend little time helping youth (kindergarten to 12th grade) learn about horticulture, and the elementary and secondary schools seem to have created a dividing line between scientific concepts and practical life-long skills. Biology classes continue to emphasize the chemical processes of photosynthesis and deemphasize the nurturing, caring, dependability, responsibility, sense of accomplishment, and other life-long skills that can be obtained from growing plants. However, retail garden centers and chain stores are increasingly offering books and supplies on gardening and related activities for children. Seed companies market and package seeds just for children. Botanical gardens and arboretums are including youth horticultural activities as part of their on-going educational programs. The involvement of university educators in horticultural youth education can assist the “trickle up” theory to the parents of children along with affecting future voters. Take the first step to see what classroom horticultural materials are available in your state. Currently many teachers have an interest in learning more about horticulture but need educational materials. In addition, there is a large number of volunteers interested in this endeavor. Do your part and help develop accurate horticultural materials for these instructors to use in formal and informal educational settings.

A 19-item survey instrument was designed and mailed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America to its membership to determine the media preferred by infectious diseases physicians for continuing medical education on general topics and on antimicrobial resistance. The objective of the survey was to offer the developers of educational programs knowledge on which to base more-effective ways to deliver educational materials to physicians in this specialty.

Delivery of modern extension programs involves considerable expenses that are becoming scarce from traditional sources. Successful extension educational programs will need to find additional revenue sources to fund educational materials, speaker costs, conferences, and other needs. It is important to become as financially efficient as possible and sometimes this means consolidating some programs and eliminating others. Charging fees to attendees is one means of covering costs of delivering programs. The University of Florida is partnering with the agriculture industry and trade journal publishers to provide resources and publishing for educational programs and materials.

Self Administered Questionnaire

Background: Continuing education programs (CEP) are among the most common methods of bringing the medical staff, especially the nurses, up-to-date. Evaluation of the implementation of CEP is needed to optimize such programs and to eliminate any faults. This study aimed to identify the viewpoints of the nurses about CEP in 2015. Materials & methods: The study was carried out on all the 750 nurses working in the hospitals of the Lorestan province using the census method. From among these 750 nurses, 537 were included in the study. The data collection instrument was a researcher-designed self-administered questionnaire including demographic information and some questions regarding the necessity of CEP, obstacles to the implementation and the methods of implementation of such programs. Results: The findings showed that 42.6% of the participants considered it very important that CEP be implemented. 48.8% of the participants considered the presentation of educational materials on compact disks (CDs) as the most appropriate method. 53.1% considered a time interval of once a month in the mornings for the implementation of the CEP as appropriate. Conclusions: According to results, continuing education plays an important role in nursing, and the continuation of such educational programs as well as improving their quality is highly necessary J MEDICINE JUL 2019; 20 (2) : 80-86

Educational Delivery

<span>There has been a tendency in the past for people to see curriculum development, instructional design and the technologies used for educational delivery as three different, but complete, approaches to the output of learning materials. At times there has been inadequate communication and even antagonism between the practitioners of the different fields. Each field views its own expertise as all encompassing and able to perform all that is required in the production of educational programs and materials. This paper examines these three areas of expertise, describing their backgrounds, analysing the different types of responsibilities and looking for definable interfaces between them. It presents a layered model, wherein each layer has an interrelating place as part of a holistic approach to the production of good educational materials. Examples are given to illustrate the requirements, limitations and opportunities offered by each layer of the model to those above and below it.</span>

Experience Difficulty

Microcomputers offer the potential for increasing the effectiveness of language intervention for school-age children and adolescents who have language-learning disabilities. One promising application is in the treatment of students who experience difficulty comprehending figurative expressions, an aspect of language that occurs frequently in both spoken and written contexts. Although software is available to teach figurative language to children and adolescents, it is our feeling that improvements are needed in the existing programs. Software should be reviewed carefully before it is used with students, just as standardized tests and other clinical and educational materials are routinely scrutinized before use. In this article, four microcomputer programs are described and evaluated. Suggestions are then offered for the development of new types of software to teach figurative language.
