Download or read book Mongolian Proverbs written by Janice Raymond and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mongolian proverbs reveal important values, while at the same time concealing them. They show the honorable destiny that comes with a good name and the shameful future connected with a bad reputation, assuring a promising future for those who keep Mongolian traditions and customs alive. Unity is important for success, and yet is often elusive in practice. The activities of the unseen world form a major aspect of the Mongolian worldview. When that is understood, the wisdom in their proverbs can be seen from a richer perspective than straight translation reveals. This book sheds light on Mongolian proverbs' enduring wisdom by engaging foreigners in dialogue with native speakers to uncover how their proverbs are used and their intended meanings.

Download or read book Proverbs as a Window Into Mongolian Culture and a Resource for Developing a Contextualized Approach for Evangelism written by Janice Raymond and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to discover if a discussion of Mongolian proverbs with insiders and outsiders present can be used to better understand Mongolian culture. The resulting goal is to develop a contextually appropriate approach for evangelism in Erdenet, Mongolia. This research was motivated following observations of Mongolian Christians, noticing that for many the practice of their faith appeared to be a form of Shamanism overlaid with Christian terminology and practices. Research was conducted using Participant Observation, interviews, questionnaires and focus groups from 1999 to 2011, in Mongolia. Each stage materialized as a part of a continual interaction of the various research methods in order to ensure validity and reliability. The presentation of my findings is from the etic, as well as the emic, point of view. Throughout the process a constant conversation unfolded between what I was seeing and discovering, and what Mongolians were saying. This conversation put me in a better position to be able to process and discern their worldview with them. I became an informed outsider. The result was Mongols attaining a better understanding of their own culture. The use of Mongolian proverbs to discuss the issues helped the Mongols to be more open, without being concerned about giving the correct "Christian answer." In the discussion groups I learned how frustrated many were with trying to evangelize the way they had been taught. They were pleased to discover that there were other ways to present the Gospel story that would resonate better with their friends and family. However, the more training Mongols had received, the less likely they were to actually attempt a different approach.

Download or read book Global Teaching written by Carol Reid and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when social, cultural and linguistic diversity has become a characteristic of education systems around the world, this timely text considers how teacher education is responding to these developments in the context of increased mobilities within and across national boundaries. This collection draws together the work of scholars, from a range of urban, rural and national contexts from the Global South and North, who engage in dialogue about diversity and knowledge exchange. It includes perspectives from multiple contexts using a range of frameworks that cohere around attention to issues of equity and social justice, and focuses on the macro level dynamics (policy, theory, global governance) as well as meso (institutional practices) and micro dimensions (professional identities, cultural, and identity transformation). The authors explore these dynamics and dimensions through mobilities of teachers and students, cosmopolitan theory, indigenous epistemologies, language ecology, professional standards policy discourses, and critical analyses of frameworks including postcolonialism, multiculturalism and culturally responsive and relevant pedagogical approaches.

Download or read book Life in Schools and Classrooms written by Rupert Maclean and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses key aspects of life in schools and classrooms, and surveys the changes that have occurred over the years in educational research, policy making and practice in these school and classroom settings. It not only examines cutting-edge research in these areas, but also showcases good practices in the field. Among the topics reviewed are recent developments in assessment, methods for collecting and analysing data on classroom practice, school leadership and the pros and cons of class size and small-class teaching; topics which are currently hotly debated in education systems around the globe. As such, the book objectively examines the various debates, and surveys the full range of evidence available. Education researchers, policy makers and practitioners often hold differing views about the reasons for teacher and student behaviour in classrooms and, for example, its relevance to class size. Many of these views are based on ‘gut feelings’ rather than hard evidence. Unfortunately, these three groups, with differing perspectives, often ‘talk past each other’ rather than engage in a productive, mutually beneficial dialogue. The book builds an effective bridge between researchers, policy makers and practitioners regarding the impact of these various aspects of classroom life, so that the viewpoints of each can be carefully considered and evaluated.
