distance or blended learning. This is typically done with the use of world wide web or internet. Blended learning is a student-centered approach to creating a learning experience whereby the learner interacts with other students, with the instructor, and with content through thoughtful integration of online and face-to-face environments. A well-designed blended learning experience thoughtfully organizes content, support materials, and activities via synchronous and asynchronous learning events, all of
The subject is an entity that is constantly affected and affecting. It is therefore ‘…always linked to something outside of it…always subject to or of something.’ This subject has, at any given moment, a world made up of not only places in relation to itself, but also inherent social relationships and identities that create and shape the subject and its position in the worlds of other subjects. The introduction of a new facet to this world, through the conscious effort of the subject or otherwise
In order to present a reality, one needs to presents through the concept of monism, dualism, physicalism and idealism. Monism is the independent existent of a single reality. It can be either mental or physical by nature. The fundamental existent of mental by nature is idealism, which is opposed to dualism, of mind and matter in reality. On the other hand, physicalism is the independent reduction to materiality. Among the earliest western philosophers Parmenides and Spinoza each believed that there
The second rhetorical operation discussed in this study is reversal. It “combines elements that are mirror images of one another in an expression” (McQuarrie and Mick, 1996: 432). What means by mirror image here is that it repeats the original sentence but in reverse structure. The rhetorical operation of reversal can be either semantic (antithesis) or syntactic (antimetabole). Antithesis is “fundamentally, contrasting ideas sharpened by the use of opposite or noticeably different meanings” (Cuddon
theories concerning how we identify and recognise objects are debated today. Template matching, feature matching, and structural analysis, all theories of object recognition, suggest how our brains interpret sensory input through the visual cortex and connect this input to meaning. To recognise an object, the brain matches the information passed through the retina to existing knowledge stored in our memory. Perhaps, when presented with an object, the brain flicks through stored image templates (Tarr
publish a website ranking schools against those of a similar nature. There is talk of expanding the service to hospitals and child care centres. The issue is whether the indicators tested in NAPLAN are the right ones on which to base judgment? Many object to using NAPLAN tests and the consequent league tables based upon them to judge the performance of a school. Critics argue that the input of schools into a student 's life cannot be measured as a result of a short test on one day of the year. The
A calendar quarter means any 3-month period determined as follows: The first period of any year may begin on any date in January: provided, that the second, third, and fourth periods accordingly begin on the same date in April, July, and October, respectively, and that the fourth period extends into January of the succeeding year (29 CFR 1910 OSHA General Industry Regulations, 2014).

Action, a word of great significance in the earlier centuries. A word that means a proceeding of something or the state of doing something. Action is expressed in both of the books: Iliad and Bhagavad-Gita. Action has a similar meaning to both Achilles in the Iliad and Arjuna in the Bhagavad-Gita; however, it also has its differences to the two characters. According to both characters, there is a clear understanding of what action itself means, but there is also a contrast for the two. The motivation

When having faith in oneself, is it possible to accomplish what others say is impossible? The Rose that Grew from Concrete is a poem by Tupac Shakur, and is a story about Tupac’s life growing up in the ghetto, and how through chasing his dreams and working hard he was able to become an internationally known musician and writer. Using symbolism, literary devices, and tone, Shakur shows how the timeless quote “anything is possible if you put your mind to it” (Steve Case), is still true today. In Shakur’s

Publix, it will have a different density and volume than a brown egg from Target. “Density is mass divided by volume, which means that if you can measure both the mass and the volume of an object, you can calculate its density” (Hoff). To find the density, you divide the mass of an object by its volume. An object that is heavy and has a small volume will have a large
Two of the most recognized cognitive psychologist, Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky, developed theories that addressed cognitive development and learning among children. (Ballinger, 2013) Jean Piaget proposed that children proceed through four stages based on maturation and experience. Piaget’s theory is guided by assumptions of how learners interact with their environment and how they integrate new knowledge and information into existing knowledge. Briefly, Piaget proposed that children are active learners
development in childhood. the common assumption in psychology before Piaget's theory, it was that children are merely less competent thinkers than adults. (5) According to Piaget, children are born with a basic mental structure on which all following learning and knowledge are based. (5) Piaget's theory consists of four stages cognitive development. The first stage called Sensorimotor stage, it is from birth to two years. During this stage, infants are aware only of what is in front of them, they just
biologist from Switzerland, paved the way in Developmental Psychology when he introduced his theory that development occurs in stages. He was a constructivist that believed that children build meaning based on experiences. He also focused on children learning as individuals rather than with the help of others, which went against what social constructivists thought. Piaget stated that a child must reach certain stages in their life as they develop. There are four stages in Piaget’s theory and they are;
children during this stage can be described as nonverbal, reflex actions, play, imitating others, and object permanence. Early in this stage of development, if an object which the child has seen is removed from view, the object is forgotten (Out of sight, out of mind). However, later in this stage, if a child was playing with an object, and it gets hidden from view, the child will look for the object. Preoperational stage. During the preoperational stage (ages 2 to 7 years), the child 's intellectual
reasoning is expressed by the use of symbols and language and imagination is developed, but reasoning is illogical and egocentrism prevails. The child develops object permanence (Woolfolk, A., 2004). In the Concrete operational stage which is from age seven to eleven years, intelligence is denoted by through logical manipulation of concrete objects and here
infant perception. Early research: He began by investigating the perception in chicks. He presented chicks with a number of small objects of different shapes and recorded the number of pecks the chicks made at each of these objects. He hatched them in darkness and tested them the very first time they were exposed to the light so that he would be absolutely sure that no learning had taken place. He
the strategy could be undermined by aptitude, affecting an individual’s performance. (Lajoie 2003) A recent study discovered that a significant correlation exists between a pupil’s spatial visualisation ability and a pupil’s ability to model 3D objects. (Branoff and Dobelis, 2012) The study carried out two tests; the PSVT: R measured pupils’ spatial skills, while pupils were required to interpret an assembly drawing of a model; modelling each part individually using 3D solid modeling software, to
Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget (1896 - 1980) developed and wrote his tough of cognitive theory approach due to his interest in child development. Piaget’s cognitive theory which is also recognize as Piaget’s Constructivist Learning Theory is about child’s though and learning after he observed children (including his own). According to him, humans learn and develop intellectually since birth and continuing across the life span. To Piaget, children are like “little scientist”. They learn many things
