The Communicating Student Learning Progress review produced by ACER in 2019 set out recommendations for schools and systems to improve the way schools report on student learning, in particular learning progress. Two case study schools from Victoria – a Catholic primary school and government secondary school – discuss changes they’ve made to their student reporting processes, in response to the review’s recommendations. Further research is recommended into how schools are rethinking reporting to engage students and parents in monitoring learning growth.

Reading aloud supports vocabulary build-up, provides basic background knowledge of the text and motivates learners’ interest in the text even among adolescents. This paper explores classroom experiences of Senior One students (12-13 years) with reading aloud of Soyinka’s (2007) play The Trials of Brother Jero. The findings show that both the teacher and the learners performed clear roles during the reading exercise and this seemed to create a systematic classroom environment for reading aloud. However data also indicates that although many of the learners declared to find value in reading aloud, some learners did not participate in the activity due to various reasons. The classroom context and the nature of the text also seemed to affect the way reading aloud was implemented during the lessons.

The purpose of this technique is that the students can analyze a paragraph in terms of the logic and coherent than a paragraph. By the way students take as many paragraphs cutout according to the time after that, they analyze it. This paragraph analyzes carried out on an essay to find out where the fault lies in the use of language essay students, especially the use of Sundanese and Indonesian are less precise. This study aims to determine the application and understanding of teachers on learning techniques used in writing essays. This study menggunakna qualitative research. This study is used to understand the events, incidents, the perpetrator in certain situations that are scientific and natural. Descriptive qualitative research always means a descriptive data analyzed phenomenon, not the form of numbers. Data collected in the form of words that includes writing notes, reports, and photos. The results showed the application of paragraphs exchange techniques in SDN 4 Cipedes applied in other ways, namely by way of example and make their own arrangements and then if there is an error in the use of language essay, teacher or cross fix errors that occur. Understanding of teachers in paragraphs exchange techniques affect student learning outcomes, especially writing essays. Students' skills in writing this essay will be increased by way of implementation and understanding of teachers to a learning technique in accordance with the steps that should be. Teachers also have been trying to apply these techniques, in different ways. The suggestion is teachers should apply and to better understand the steps paragraphs exchange technique to exactly fit the appropriate steps, because then the ability to write essay students will be maximized again.

One of the basic conditions required for pupils to learn a foreign language is that their teachers must speak to them in the target language—and always at a level which is understandable to them. The effectiveness of interactional adjustments such as repetitions, comprehension checks, and nonlinguistic aspects used by a teacher to help primary and secondary school pupils with their general understanding of spoken texts delivered in English is analysed in this article. Once the effectiveness of such adjustments is confirmed, a comparison is made between the teacher’s use of adjustments when teaching a group of 10-year-old primary school pupils and when teaching a group of 17-year-old secondary school pupils. 外国語指導の重要な要件の一つとして、当該外国語を指導言語とし、しかもそれを学習者が理解できるレベルで使わなければならないということが挙げられる。そのために教員は学習者とのやり取りの最中、理解の確認、繰り返し、あるいは非言語行動により絶えず調整を行わなければならない。このような調整がどのくらい効果があるのかを、小学校、中学校の授業を観察し分析した。さらに10歳の小学生対象の授業、17歳の中学生対象の授業でどのように違うかをあわせて考察した。

In this paper we show that poor student performance in a rural school is influenced by the classifications used for student learning and behaviour. We propose that the institution's organisation is conveyed via a classification schema that permeates and informs judgments about student progress and holds sway over teacher cognition. Category boundaries are set and differentiate between compliant and non-compliant students in the school in question. Conformity to expectations by compliant students can be mistaken for academic security. Rectifying disruptive and off-task behaviours can replace teaching of the non-compliant students. Institutional categories used to judge and label performances remain difficult to counter in that they are part of the reality of everyday interaction and given credence in departmental policy and professional discourse.

This article draws on a school-based case study carried out in Scotland with 11–12-year-olds reflecting on their views and experiences of school before transitioning from primary to secondary school. Drawing on Honneth’s recognition theory, and the dimensions of love, rights and solidarity, the findings show that school was seen by children as a place of dialogue, reciprocity and recognition; the learning and knowledge activities cannot be separated from the relational and emotional aspects. When misrecognition happens, subjects’ identity and sense of self-respect can be deeply violated.

Con la intención de comprender la participación social en la educación, se presentan los resultados de un estudio en caso desde la perspectiva cualitativa, con una orientación etnográfica. El caso,[1] a manera de texto descriptivo-interpretativo, reconstruye la forma en que participan las educadoras, la directora, los padres y madres de familia en la vida cotidiana de un jardín de niños; la participación está articulada de acuerdo con la propuesta de la Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP). Se hace énfasis en las voces y visiones de los participantes, en la manera en que estos se implican en diversos eventos, en contraste con las disposiciones administrativas sobre las que no se sabe con claridad por qué ni para qué se cumplen. El estudio se realizó durante dos ciclos escolares en una comunidad que fue hacienda, después ejido y finalmente fraccionamiento urbano. Se afirma que la participación social es un proceso complejo, relacionado con la historia, la cultura y las tradiciones de la comunidad, las cuales son disposiciones estructurantes, que necesitan tomarse en cuenta para impulsar la participación de manera activa y democrática, y no de una forma meramente administrativa.AbstractWith the goal of understanding social participation in education, we present the results of a case study from a qualitative prospective with an ethnographic orientation. The case,[2] as a descriptive-interpretative text, reconstructs the way teachers, director, and parents participate in the daily life of a kindergarten. Their participation is spelled out according to the guidelines of the Public Education Secretariat (SEP, for its acronym in Spanish). The study emphasizes the participants’ voices and visions as well as the way they involve themselves in various events compared with the administrative dispositions whose reason and purpose remains unclear. The study was carried out during two academic years in a community that was first a plantation, then an ejido’ shared land common land, and finally an urban neighborhood. The text argues that social participation is a complex process that has to do with history, culture, and community traditions, which shape the way it is brought to life. These aspects need to be taken into account so participation can be fostered in an active and democratic way, and not only in a merely bureaucratic way.Recibido: 21 de junio de 2013Aceptado: 04 de diciembre de 2013[1] El caso forma parte de una investigación más amplia conformada por tres escuelas primarias y una secundaria públicas, apoyada por el CONACYT-SEP/SEB 110286, administrado por la UPN-Ajusco.

Ukrainian Education Institutions in Biały Bór – Case Study The article discusses the policy of the Polish government towards minority schools using the example of Ukrainian primary school and secondary school of general education in Biały Bor with special focus on the school year 2020/2021. Schools, including all the minority schools in Poland, were put in a difficult situation because, according to the recent decisions, mother tongue education for the children of emigrants from Ukraine would not be financed by the Polish State. However, under the Polish Constitution, Poland shall ensure access to education for foreigners on equal terms with Polish nationals. Final decisions have not been made yet, but the issue of the incorrectly calculated subsidy repayment does not put the Polish State in a favourable light.

This case study reports on two student-staff partnership projects at Cardiff University that explored the student experience of using lecture capture technologies. We describe the background to these projects, how they were designed, and how students and staff worked together to gain insights into the student experience. The case study demonstrates that nuanced understandings regarding the way students use lecture recordings is required and argues that student-staff partnership is an effective way of achieving these understandings. Suggestions are offered regarding how educationists could further harness partnerships to explore the complex interplays between technology and student learning. This reflective account also explores our efforts in achieving meaningful partnership working, the challenges encountered, and highlights the benefits of partnerships between students and professional-services staff, specifically learning technologists.

Este artículo es un estudio etnográfico que tiene como propósito analizar a qué cambios se enfrentan los alumnos y cómo perciben las diferencias en el manejo del tiempo entre las clases de ciencias de un grupo de sexto de primaria y las clases de Introducción a la Física y a la Química y de Biología de primero de secundaria. Durante las clases de secundaria los maestros establecen secuencias de contenidos, tareas y formas de participación distintas de las de primaria. Estas secuencias están ubicadas en espacios y tiempos determinados que producen modificaciones en las formas de participación corporal, representacional y verbal de los alumnos. La capacidad de moverse en el tiempo y el espacio de una cierta estructura escolar es una de las manifestaciones del aprendizaje de los alumnos y de las condiciones para que ellos puedan concentrarse en la apropiación del contenido académico, y por ello es relevante su estudio.AbstractThis article is an ethnographic study that aims to analyse what changes students face and how they perceive the differences intimem management between the science classes of a sixth grade primary school groupand the classes of Introduction to Physics, Chemistry and Biology of a first grade of secondary school. During the secondary school classes, teachers establish sequences of contents, tasks, and forms of participation different from those of primary. These sequences are located in space and certain times that produce modifications in the forms of corporal, representational, and verbal participation of the students. The abilityto move in time and space of a certain school structure is one of the manifestations of student learning (Nespor, 1994) and the conditions for them to focus the appropriation of the academic content, and is therefore relevant study.Recibido: 30 de octubre de 2009 Aceptado: 21 de febrero de 2010

This aims to review and analyze the Jordanian experiment in the developmental regional planning field within the decentralized managerial methods, which is considered one of the primary basic provisions for applying and success of this kind of planning. The study shoed that Jordan has passed important steps in the way for implanting the decentralized administration, but these steps are still not enough to established the effective and active regional planning. The study reveled that there are many problems facing the decentralized regional planning in Jordan, despite of the clear goals that this planning is trying to achieve. These problems have resulted from the existing relationship between the decentralized administration process’ dimensions from one side, and between its levels which ranged from weak to medium decentralization from the other side, In spite of the official trends aiming at applying more of the decentralized administrative policies, still high portion of these procedures are theoretical, did not yet find a way to reality. Because any progress or success at the level of applying the decentralized administrative policies doubtless means greater effectiveness and influence on the development regional planning in life of the residents in the kingdom’s different regions. So, it is important to go a head in applying more steps and decentralized administrative procedures, gradually and continuously to guarantee the control over any negative effects that might result from Appling this kind of systems.   © 2018 JASET, International Scholars and Researchers Association
