Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fact, if the school expects it can be one real teaching organization, if the school can arrange internal and external structures effectively. Then, the school let students to have more confidence to choose the school to study. Internal structures include: class organizing, sibject choice organizinf, departments organizing, responsibility arranging. Otherwise , external structures include: admission numbers, numbers on raising salary scales, schol budget, leaving ages, staturory length of the school day, arragement methods of appraisal etc. Hence effective school management system can bring more confidence to the student to choose to the school to study and it can encourage him/hse to raise learning interest effectively.So, it seems that student learning interest has close relationship to concern how the school manages its organization. Because good school management can influence its internal and external teaching reasources how to allocate to use and manage effectively. For example, good classroom teaching environment can influence students to feel easily, an teaching book library can have enough different topic teaching book to let students to borrow to read, or it has enough comouter facilities to let students to find any reading data from internet conveniently. Then , they will be influenced to raise learning interest more easily, because the school has one attractive and fun learning environment to let its students to learn.Therefore, an effective school management system can influence its students to raise more interest to learn in order to influence they choose to do learning behavior to study more harder in homes or schools. How to bring one effective school management system to infuence students to feel? I shall indicate the main factors as below:The first factor is one effective school management system needs have an effective hierarchy of headteachers, deputy heads, heads of department different effective organizing systems. It aims to achieve more directing, controlling and commanding to any department leaders to manage themselves departments more easily.One educational organization's hierarchical pyramid can indicate such as: a headteacher manage or leads one deputy or more than one deputys on the top level, the middle level will include one deputy or more than one deputy manager(s) or lead(s) in one department head or more than one department heads. Next, the middle level will include one department head or leads more than one teacher at the low level. However, any school organization expects to manage or lead themselves schools effectively. They need to organize in such a way that they will try to achieve effective reaults and make every effort to maintain good relationships between those who work in these departments.

I shall explain the possible factors to influence its learning and teaching as below: Any students and teachers want to know why you need to learn liberal studies. I don't admire or count as worthwhile any study which aims at making money for this subject. Such studies are just hiring out our talents and are only of value if they train the mind and do not pre-occupy it. We should only spend time on them as long as the mind has nothing better to do, as they our apprenticeship, not our proper work. You can see why liberal studies are so called: they are worthy of a free man. But only one study is truly liberal in making a man free, and that is the study of wisdom, with is strength of purpose and its noble and exalted ideals. Liberal education does not have an easily identifiable essence. . . . But the fact is that no other form of education is capable of so thoroughly examining universal or even particularistic existential and moral issues. No other form of education is able to concentrate on the most important questions of how life is to be lived or how it is to be lived in relation to other lives. Liberal education offers the intellectual and emotional basis on which is constructed a capacity to make decisions. It is the means by which men and women have sought to interpret the world or to take a comprehensive view of it. . . . The inevitable conclusion is that the telltale identifying marks of a liberal education are the manner in which a subject is taught or learned, the spirit in which it is offered, and the attitudes that may just result from the teaching and learning. Nowadays, we live in a culture divided between two conceptions of a liberal education. The older one is the idea of an education that is liberalis, "fitted for freedom," in the sense that it is aimed at freeborn gentlemen of the propertied classes. This education initiated the elite into the time-honored traditions of their own society; it sought continuity and fidelity, and discouraged critical reflection. The "new" idea interprets the word liberalis differently. An education is truly "fitted for freedom" only if it is such as to produce free citizens, citizens who are free not because of wealth or birth, but because they can call their minds their own. Male and female, slave-born and freeborn, rich and poor, they have looked into themselves and developed the ability to separate mere habit and convention from what they can defend by argument. They have ownership of their own thought and speech, and this imparts to them a dignity that is far beyond the outer dignity of class and rank

Book excerpt: However, Hong Kong liberal studies subject aims to help students to understand issues faced by society and to respect different opinions. Liberal studies teachers expect to train their these skills to be improved, such as generic skills, these are a high demand for generic skills in Hong Kong society, in which the economy is knowledge based liberal studies brings great emphasis on the development of such skills for meeting Hong Kong societal needs. The idea that generic skill affect performance in a wide range of functioning is by no means a new concept. Liberal studies is expected to be taught how good cooperating to do any tasks or projects or assignments, when students need to cooperate with colleagues in complex environment of work. Generic skills can not operate without knowledge, such as building s bridge needs have engineering knowledge or writting an essay needs have vocabilary and grammer of the language knowledge. Hence, generic skills are supported to be transferable skills which effort performance in many.Also, liberal studies subject can teach communication skills, when a classroom learning and teaching activity is needed to group discussion in classroom as well as when students are insolved in enquiry or an issue, they will usually work in small groups and so group discussion becomes essential . So, liberal studies subject can be taught to train students how to understand of turn-raking, the ability to identify others' viewpoints and an appreciation that every one's views should be respected most easily. It can train collaborative skills, how to help students to engage effectively in tasks and teamwork. Because group work can be used to develop not only students' communication skills, but also their ability to cooperate effectively with others. When Hong Kong students can learn liberal studies subject, then when they explore on issue in groups, they can have more confidence to work with classmates in making decisions on, for example, how to analyze the sorts of information needed to finish any tasks more easily and how it can be collected and organized more easily. Also, liberal studies subject can train students how to negotiate and argue move towards a consensus more easily. Liberal studies subject can train students to raise critical thinking skills, such as how to help them to draw out meaning from given data or statements, generate and evaluate arguments, and train them to make more accurate judgement to finish any matters or tasks more easily and effectively and efficiently. This is the teaching aims of liberal studies subject in Hong Kong high schools nowadays.However, Hong Kong educators also believe liberal studies subject can train these skills to high school students, such as problem solving skills, how to understand the problem to note the existing data and constraints and see what is needed to solve it more easily, how to formulate a plan, carry out the plan and check it by confirmation of each relevant test at each stage and to check the solution to see if it can be improved more easily, creatie skills, liberal studies can engage students in investigation in groups to develop and evaluate solutions to various problems through such activities, it is possible that liberal studies can train students learn how to create a creative environment to provide them to raise the more ability to generate original ideas and solve problems more easily, liberal studies lessons can train students hoe to see, analyse, manage easily and present information critically in an intelligently information age and a digitised world.

Otherwise, Asian liberal studies subject focuses on whole-person development aspect, e.g. training students how to improve itself country residents' quality of life, learning how the country's residents participate in political and social affairs with rights and responsibilities with respect to the rule of law, learning how to demonstrate a sound understanding of the key idea, concepts and terminologies of the subject as well as developing the capacity to construct knowledge through enquiring into contemporary issues with affect themselves, their society, their nation, the human world and physical environment, learning how to reflect on the development of Asian youngers' own multiple identifies, value systems and world views with respect to personal experiences, social and cultural contexts and the impacts of developments in science, technology and globalization, learning how to identify the values of different views and judgements on personal and social issues and how to apply critical thinking skills, creativity and different perspectives in making decisions and judgements on issues and problems at both how to present arguments clearly and demonstrate respect for evidence, and open-mindedness and tolerance towards the views and values held by other people, learning how to develop skills related to enquiry learning , including self-management skills, problem-solving skills, communication skills, information processing skills, and skills in using information and communication technology, learning how to carry out self-directed learning which includes the processes of selling goals, making and implementating drawing conclusions, reporting findings and conducting evaluation skills, learning how to demonstrate an appreciation for the values of their own and other cultures, and for values, and be committed to becoming responsible and conscientious citizen in themselves countries.

Download or read book Asia as Method in Education Studies written by Hongzhi Zhang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlearning and re-inventing the theoretical frameworks of Intercultural and Asian Studies is central to this book as it is to Chen Kuan-Hsing’s evocative Asia as Method; this book’s inspirational source. Chen insists that studies of Asia move beyond their paralysing fixation on the West as either a positive or negative referent and that they develop their own standpoints, reference points and research agendas. Asia as Method in Education Studies, is therefore, a provocative and suggestive exploration of educational ideas imported from the West. Chen’s challenge provokes the writers in this collection to consider the implications of colonial and imperialist forces for education systems, policies and practices as well as for educational research itself. The writers offer examples of what it means to rethink and re-examine education in Asia beyond both the Western imperialist eye and the post-colonial ‘politics of resentment’. Asia as Method in Education Studies combines the diverse research of scholars from various countries of Asia as they consider, for example: Struggles to Construct New Research Imaginations in Response to Chen’s Challenges East-West Dialogue: Three Cases in Chinese Educational Research "Asia as [a] method" of Complexity and Dialogue Generalizing the Self? Asianizing Perspectives on International Education and the Formation of Self Against Asia-centric Methods: Australia-China Theoretic-linguistic Knowledge Co-production Highly anticipated for its novel contemporary perspectives, this book offers researchers specialising in educational studies and policy-making fresh practices of thought.

Download or read book Transnational Education Crossing Asia and the West written by Le-Ha Phan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Phan Le-Ha identifies and discusses four growing self-sustained/sustaining fundamental phenomena in transnational education (TNE), namely (1) the planned, evolving and transformative mediocrity behind the endorsement of English-medium education legitimized by the interactive Asia-the West relationship; (2) the strategic employment of the terms ‘Asia/Asian’ and ‘West/Western’ by all stakeholders in their perceptions and construction of choice, quality, rigour, reliability and attractiveness of programs, courses, and locations; (3) the adjusted desire for an imagined (and often misinformed) ‘West’ among various stakeholders of transnational education; and (4) the assigned and self-realized ownership of English by otherwise normally on-the-margin groups of speakers. A focus on how these phenomena impact questions of identity and desire in TNE is a running theme. The above phenomena are discussed against the backdrop of ‘the rise of Asia’ sentiment and how this sentiment has played out in interactions and relationships between ‘the West’ and ‘Asia’ and among Asian institutions and various entities. Phan Le-Ha’s examination of the identified phenomena in TNE has been informed by her multi-layered engagement with the dialectic of the Asia-the West relationship, her critical take on certain pro-Asia and decolonisation scholarship, and her interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to theorise the field and the specific topic under scrutiny. Phan Le-Ha shows that the current Asia chooses (not necessarily by force but largely by will and often with an informed and well-articulated agency) to go with the idea of the West and often desires an affiliation with the West either directly or indirectly, something that is getting more intense in the context of globalization, regionalization, and commercialization of education. The rise of Asia has made the idea of the West even more looked-for in Asia. TNE in Asia, in many ways, is the transforming and dynamic transit point, a layover that facilitates entry into a wanted destination – the West and/or the idea of the West. The West and Asia need one another more than ever in the context of the internationalization and commercialization of higher education. What’s more, the West and Asia have hardly ever been mutually exclusive but have rather been in an eventful love-and-obsession relationship with each other. This is the very dialectic proposition that Phan Le Ha takes throughout this book while paying specific attention to transnational higher education in the greater Asian region including the Middle East, following her several research projects conducted in the region since 2005 to date. Transnational Education Crossing 'the West' and 'Asia' explores: • English, Internationalisation of Higher Education, and Identity: Increasing Academic Monolingualism and English-only Package • Transnational Education and Dream Realization: From the Philippines to Vietnam, From Afghanistan to Dubai, From Everywhere in Asia to Thailand • Desiring International /Transnational Education: Theorisation of Key Concepts and Next Steps from Here The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of transnational education, Asia education and education policy.

Download or read book Sociological and Philosophical Perspectives on Education in the Asia Pacific Region written by Chi-Ming Lam and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates the value of approaching education from a sociological and philosophical perspective. Specifically, it addresses current and long-standing educational issues in the Asia-Pacific region, integrating sociological and philosophical insights with practical applications in four key areas: educational aims, moral education, educational policy, and the East-West dichotomy. It discusses educational aims in terms of rationality, philosophical thinking, and sustainable development and presents the literary, religious, and analytical approaches to moral education. Four educational policies are then considered: Hong Kong’s language policy, Hong Kong’s policy on the internationalization of education, East Asia’s policies on English education, and Australia’s policy on teacher education. Different aspects of the East-West dichotomy are analysed: Confucian rationalism versus Western rationalism, Confucian learning culture versus Western learning culture, and Asian research methodology versus Western research methodology. Taken as a whole, the book shows that issues in education are rarely simple, and looking at them from multiple perspectives allows for rich and informed debates. It presents a rare philosophical and sociological analysis of the cultures and experiences of education in the Asia-Pacific region, and promotes research that leads to more culturally rooted educational policies and practice.

This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues that have emerged as higher education systems and individual institutions across East Asia confront and adapt to the changing economic, social, and educational environments in which they now operate. The book’s focus is on how higher education systems learn from each other and on the ways in which they collaborate to address new challenges.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Asian Philosophies in Music Education written by C. Victor Fung and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-19 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the collective wisdom of Asian philosophies and their implications for music education. All twenty chapters are written by highly regarded philosophers and music educators steeped in various Asian traditions. These chapters will include an explanation of a prominent philosophical tradition, evidence in a contemporary music teaching and learning settings (including its inception and historical development along with an explanation of how the philosophical tradition works in contemporary music education), and suggestions for potential directions in the near and distant future. The book is organized into five sections. Section I is based on Chinese philosophical traditions, which have the longest history and are some of the most influential across Asia and beyond. Chapters in Section II present a snapshot of Japanese and Korean views, beginning with the musical practices in the Joseon Period (1392-1910) that are still being practiced in South Korea today to Western influences in 19th century Japan. A collection of philosophical traditions from South and Southeast Asia are contained in Section III, ranging from the insights of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, King Rama IX of Thailand, an accomplished jazz musician, to the Balinese notion of taksu, a form of supreme energy and divine power crucial for compelling performances in the performing arts. We venture into the Islamic and the Middle Eastern world in Section IV, where the dance practices of the Hadhrami Arabs in the Malay Archipelago to traditional sharah music are contextualized within Islamic philosophy. This section also describes the philosophical ideas of the 12th-century Persian philosopher and founder of the Illuminationist (Ishraq) philosophy, Shihab al-Din al-Suhrawardi, arguing that his ideas have much to recommend music education, as this approach requires students to listen in deeper ways, absorb more abundantly, and move beyond arts education to encompass the education of the whole person. Section V concludes with a metaphorical view on a New Silk Road in music education in the 21st century, where ideas are traded for mutual benefit and the development multicultural philosophies of music education. While there are numerous publications on the philosophy of music education rooted in the Western philosophical traditions of ancient Greece, the Asian philosophical voice is virtually silent outside of Asia, and this volume aims to begin the long process of redressing this imbalance. This volume will open readers to the richness of Asian philosophical sources and hopefully stimulate dialogues that could generate new insights and directions for further development, cross-pollination, and application of some of the world's earliest philosophical traditions.
