Book excerpt: This topical survey focuses on research in tertiary mathematics education, a field that has experienced considerable growth over the last 10 years. Drawing on the most recent journal publications as well as the latest advances from recent high-quality conference proceedings, our review culls out the following five emergent areas of interest: mathematics teaching at the tertiary level; the role of mathematics in other disciplines; textbooks, assessment and students’ studying practices; transition to the tertiary level; and theoretical-methodological advances. We conclude the survey with a discussion of some potential directions for future research in this new and rapidly evolving domain of inquiry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Student Education in Tertiary Settings addresses key issues in international student education programme design and implementation. It maps contemporary theories and practices in international students’ transcultural learning and engagement and showcases successful tertiary education programmes for international students in Australia, China, Japan, the USA and the UK. The book highlights the opportunities for engaging international students that are built into the various programmes, international students’ strategies for coping with various challenges of engagement with their educational programmes, and a range of factors that confound their engagement in academic and intercultural learning. The broad coverage of international education programmes in a variety of geographical, sociocultural and pedagogical settings enables the discussion about the complexity of contemporary international student education, shared challenges and productive ways of engaging international students in transcultural learning and the prospect of sustainable engagement. The principles and insights into programme design and implementation to engage international students will be useful for researchers and practitioners in international student education, academics tasked with teaching international students in their class, and administrators responsible for managing and providing services to international students.

Download or read book Culture Creativity and Environment written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture, Creativity and Environment: New Environmentalist Criticism is a collection of new work which examines the intersection between philosophy, literature, visual art, film and the environment at a time of environmental crisis. This book is unusual in the way in which the ‘imaginative’, ‘creative’, element is privileged, notwithstanding the creativity of rigorous cultural criticism. Genuinely interdisciplinary, this book aims to be inclusive in its discussions of diverse cultural media (different literary genres, art forms and film for instance), which offer thoughtful and thought-provoking critiques of our relationships with the environment. Our ability to transcend the ethical and aesthetic categories and discourses that have contributed to our alienation from our environment is dependant upon an enlargement of our imaginative capacities. In a modest way this book might contribute to what Ted Hughes, speaking of the imagination of each new child, described as “nature’s chance to correct culture’s error”.

Download or read book Continually Reassessing Students Needs Insight from ELT tertiary written by Dwi Poedjiastutie and published by UMMPress. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though ESP is not a new phenomenon in Indonesia, many teachers still face a lot of challenges in real classroom implementation and practices. Many scholars also have claimed that ESP is a part of ELT like General English (GE). Both have something in common but to some extent they also have differences. Therefore, the ESP pedagogy and approaches should also be treated differently from the pedagogy of other ELT types such as GE. This book hopefully provides some insight to teachers who need to shift between GE and ESP. The ideas of ESP are mostly derived from the research project conducted by the English Language Education Department under the supervision of Dwi Poedjiastutie and Laela Hikmah Nurbatra. These researches mainly focus on ESP teaching at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang under the auspice of the Language Centre. The research selected for this book covered a different range of ESP topics. In the first chapter of the book, the Poedjiastutie discusses the ESP teacher recruitment process at one of the universities in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the countries that had also been developing ESP projects in vocational schools, academies and universities. Many teachers of EFL make the transition to teach ESP because the number of students who need ESP learning is increasing from year to year. The curriculum and the pedagogy of the teaching institution need to adapt to the situation. When the curriculum fails to identify the need and the demand of ESP in this university, the ESP system needs serious attention since teachers is a central role in the education system.

Download or read book The Power of Play in Higher Education written by Alison James and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the increasing popularity of creativity and play in tertiary learning, and how it can be harnessed to enhance the student experience at university. While play is often misunderstood as something ‘trivial’ and associated with early years education, the editors and contributors argue that play contributes to social and human development and relations at a fundamental level. This volume invalidates the commonly held assumption that play is only for children, drawing together numerous case studies from higher education that demonstrate how researchers, students and managers can benefit from play as a means of liberating thought, overturning obstacles and discovering fresh approaches to persistent challenges. This diverse and wide-ranging edited collection unites play theory and practice to address the gulf in research on this fascinating topic. It will be of interest and value to educators, students and scholars of play and creativity, as well as practitioners and academic leaders looking to incorporate play into the curriculum.

Download or read book ICT Based Assessment Methods and Programs in Tertiary Education written by Meri Yilan, Serpil and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education has revolutionized learning. Shifting beyond traditional mode of education, the integration of ICTs has become an advantage for students at tertiary education when used for the right purpose to enhance learning. The use of technology brings forth a flexible and accessible mode of education and bridges the gap of learning across borders. This enables students at tertiary level to have access to other universities and academic resource materials globally, thereby expanding their knowledge. Thus, it is crucial to consider the development of technology in education as part of a comprehensive pedagogical framework and take into account new developments in ICTs. ICT-Based Assessment, Methods, and Programs in Tertiary Education is an essential research publication that provides relevant theoretical frameworks and recent empirical research findings on integrating ICTs in tertiary education to enhance learning and allow students to take more control of their learning. Highlighting topics such as assessment, language learning, and e-learning, this book is ideal for teachers, professionals, academicians, researchers, administrators, curriculum designers, instructional designers, and students.
