TVET and skillsHistorically, almost all vocational education took place in the classroom or on the job site, with students learning trade skills and trade theory from accredited instructors or established professionals. However, in recent years, online vocational education has grown in popularity, making learning various trade skills and soft skills from established professionals easier than ever for students, even those who may live far away from a traditional vocational schoolBy: Monika Dhakate..Tuesday, Jun 11, 2024WATER, ENERGY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Children's mental development as it relates to educational context.The concept of the ZPD is widely used to study children's mental development as it relates to educational context. The ZPD concept is seen as a scaffolding, a structure of "support points" for performing an action.[14] This refers to the help or guidance received from an adult or more competent peer to permit the child to work within the ZPD.[15] Although Vygotsky himself never mentioned the term, scaffolding was first developed by Jerome Bruner, David Wood, and Gail Ross, while applying Vygotsky's concept of ZPD to various educational contexts.[4] According to Wass and Golding, giving students the hardest tasks they can do with scaffolding leads to the greatest learning gainsScaffolding is a process through which a teacher or a more competent peer helps a student in their ZPD as necessary and tapers off this aid as it becomes unnecessary—much as workers remove a scaffold from a building after they complete construction. "Scaffolding [is] the way the adult guides the child's learning via focused questions and positive interactions."[17] This concept has been further developed by Mercedes Chaves Jaime, Ann Brown, among others. Several instructional programs were developed based on this interpretation of the ZPD, including reciprocal teaching and dynamic assessment. For scaffolding to be effective, one must start at the child's level of knowledge and build from thereBy: jazzFriday, Apr 19, 2024CULTURE AND SOCIETY+2

Blended Learning ModelsTypes of Blended Learning Models Here are the five most common types of blended learning frameworks: 1. Flipped model In the flipped model, traditional classroom instruction is inverted. Learners first encounter the instructional content outside of class, typically through video lectures, readings, or online modules. Then, in-class time is dedicated to active learning activities, discussions, group projects, and exercises that reinforce and apply the pre-learned material. The flipped model allows for more personalized and interactive learning during face-to-faceBy: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreThursday, Apr 18, 2024YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

Equality of Educational OpportunityIt is widely accepted that educational opportunities for children ought to be equal. This thesis follows from two observations about education and children: first, that education significantly influences a person’s life chances in terms of labor market success, preparation for democratic citizenship, and general human flourishing; and second, that children’s life chances should not be fixed by certain morally arbitrary circumstances of their birth such as their social class, race, and gender. But the precise meaning of, and implications for, the ideal of equality of educational opportunity is the subject of substantial disagreement (see Jencks 1988). This entry provides a critical review of the nature and basis of those disagreements.By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreWednesday, Mar 13, 2024EDUCATION

philosophy and theologyEssence (Latin: essentia) is a polysemic term, having various meanings and uses. It is used in philosophy and theology as a designation for the property or set of properties or attributes that make an entity or substance what it fundamentally is, and which it has by necessity, and without which it loses its identity. Essence is contrasted with accident: a property or attribute the entity or substance has contingently, without which the substance can still retain its identity.By: Monika Dhakate..Tuesday, Dec 12, 2023HEALTH AND NUTRITION

Teacher policyTeacher policy is education policy that addresses the preparation, recruitment, and retention of teachers.[12] A teacher policy is guided by the same overall vision and essential characteristics as the wider education policy: it should be strategic, holistic, feasible, sustainable, and context-sensitive. Overall objectives and major challenges to be addressed, the funding to achieve these objectives, the demographic parameters of the learner population and the human resources required to achieve universally accessible quality education should all be addressed in a comprehensive teacher policy.[13] Nine key dimensions Nine key dimensions are considered crucial to any comprehensive teacher policy: Teacher Recruitment and Retention, Teacher education (initial and continuing), Deployment, Career Structures/Paths, Teacher Employment and Working Conditions, Teach Reward and Remuneration, Teacher Standards, Teacher Accountability, and School Governance.[13] Teacher Recruitment and RetentionAn effective education system must have a safe way to attract, recruit and retain outstanding educators. There has been a growing demand for teachers but the supply continues to diminish and many of them leave their profession.[14] This development is a threat to the "academic and economic welfare of students". It affects learning and drain taxpayers’ money.[15] The federal and state governments along with the districts must invest in complete human capital systems. It is the best approach in preparing and retaining committed and capable mentors for the long-term.[16] A reasonable strategy in talent management for the education sector must focus on recruitment, development, and retention of intelligent and efficient teachers.[17]By: Monika Dhakate..Monday, Sep 16, 2024EDUCATION
