Download or read book Educational Effectiveness and Ineffectiveness written by Jaap Scheerens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical assessment of the knowledge base on educational effectiveness, covering a period of five decades of research. It formulates a “lean” theory of good schooling, and identifies and explains instances of “ineffectiveness”, such as low effect sizes of malleable conditions, for which expectations are highly strung. The book presents a systemic outlook on educational effectiveness and improvement, as it starts out from an integrated multi-level model that comprises system level, school level and instructional conditions. It offers a classification of school improvement strategies and scenarios for system level educational improvement. Above all, the analysis is very systematic, comprehensive and strongly grounded in theory. The book includes a case study analysis of various strands of improvement-oriented educational policy in the Netherlands as an illustration of some of the arguments used.

Book excerpt: Why do we sometimes meet someone and immediately feel rapport --instant friends-- as though we are reuniting after a long absence? And why are we strongly drawn towards some people, yet repelled by others, without any logical reason? Why do we enjoy some places we travel to, feeling remarkably at home, as the area is fondly familiar in some inexplicable way? Yet why do we feel uncomfortable in other locales and can hardly wait to leave? Could we be re-experiencing deeply buried memories from long ago? Are we tapping into past life experiences? Is unfinished business bringing us together with individuals we loved or hated, to balance the past? And how do we balance those karmic scales to achieve balance, peace, and harmony? Strangers in Paradise was inspired by the author's transformational experience at a sacred heaiu near Opeeakaa Falls on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Cosmic meetings and karmic relationships are set into motion in Strangers in Paradise, the charactersmoving to rhythms beyond their control.

Download or read book Nwa Mbaise written by Kanayo Nwankwo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is a timely ode to the truth, the truth of the unknown! We, mortals, merely co-star with insecurities to assuage the lusts of the unknown! The life of man is a prayer in motion; time, space determines the faith of its fate! Undated, wisdom, like other unofficial prequels to modern life, is highly underrated. Life is one of the uncomfortable duels of eternity and belief is its crux. The omens of truth are in its ills! Death is merely a testimony to the power of verified inspiration! Rivalling, yet least electrifying, the commitments of redundancy represent a sticky punch to all we deem compelling! Tragically, value is always realised when the best is lost. The Mbaise child has looked at life, and its cousin, death, and deemed each a polluted treason except their reason(s). In this dying life in me, one vigorously explored various intellectual avenues to refine purpose and retain all it supposes, yet the distractions of hubris deny the audacity of its homage! We are endangered species; our leaders are not seeing this! The mind of this age is aesthetically caustic, critically atheistic! Cheaply, man is addicted to insecurity, the cheapest drug whose dealer is unknown!
