Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes patterns of continuity and change among spring 2004 high school seniors from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002) first follow-up study, spring 1992 seniors from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) second follow-up study, spring 1980 seniors from the High School and Beyond (HS&B) base-year study, and spring 1972 seniors from the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 (NLS:72) base-year study. It supplies demographic profiles of 1972, 1980, 1992, and 2004 seniors and discusses their senior-year coursetaking and extracurricular activities, life values, educational expectations, and post-high school education and career plans. Chapter 1 describes changes in the racial/ethnic makeup of high school seniors from 1982 to 2004. Chapter 2 examines the courses taken by seniors during their senior year (in contrast to courses accumulated throughout their high school program, as examined in, for example, Bozick and Ingels 2008 and Dalton et al. 2007). During this last year of high school, seniors took higher-level courses in mathematics, science, and foreign language in greater proportions in 2004 than in 1982 (the first year for which coursetaking data are available). Seniors participated in a variety of extracurricular activities. The ones examined in chapter 3 are student government, honor society, athletics, newspaper or yearbook, vocational club, and academic club. There was both some overall change and a good deal of stability in the patterns of participation among seniors. Chapter 4 examines plans for work and school immediately after high school, as well as the importance of certain factors in choosing a postsecondary education institution. Plans for highest educational level and occupational attainment at age 30 are examined in chapter 5. Two appendixes include: Technical Notes and Glossary; and (2) Standard Error Tables. (Contains 38 tables, 4 figures, and 21 footnotes.) [This report updates an earlier NCES publication, "Trends among High School Seniors, 1972-1992" (ED387533).

Download or read book Steady Gains and Stalled Progress written by Katherine Magnuson and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2008-10-09 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the disparity in test scores between black and white children remains one of the greatest social challenges of our time. Between the 1960s and 1980s, tremendous strides were made in closing the achievement gap, but that remarkable progress halted abruptly in the mid 1980s, and stagnated throughout the 1990s. How can we understand these shifting trends and their relation to escalating economic inequality? In Steady Gains and Stalled Progress, interdisciplinary experts present a groundbreaking analysis of the multifaceted reasons behind the test score gap—and the policies that hold the greatest promise for renewed progress in the future. Steady Gains and Stalled Progress shows that while income inequality does not directly lead to racial differences in test scores, it creates and exacerbates disparities in schools, families, and communities—which do affect test scores. Jens Ludwig and Jacob Vigdor demonstrate that the period of greatest progress in closing the gap coincided with the historic push for school desegregation in the 1960s and 1970s. Stagnation came after efforts to integrate schools slowed down. Today, the test score gap is nearly 50 percent larger in states with the highest levels of school segregation. Katherine Magnuson, Dan Rosenbaum, and Jane Waldfogel show how parents' level of education affects children's academic performance: as educational attainment for black parents increased in the 1970s and 1980s, the gap in children's test scores narrowed. Sean Corcoran and William Evans present evidence that teachers of black students have less experience and are less satisfied in their careers than teachers of white students. David Grissmer and Elizabeth Eiseman find that the effects of economic deprivation on cognitive and emotional development in early childhood lead to a racial divide in school readiness on the very first day of kindergarten. Looking ahead, Helen Ladd stresses that the task of narrowing the divide is not one that can or should be left to schools alone. Progress will resume only when policymakers address the larger social and economic forces behind the problem. Ronald Ferguson masterfully interweaves the volume's chief findings to highlight the fact that the achievement gap is the cumulative effect of many different processes operating in different contexts. The gap in black and white test scores is one of the most salient features of racial inequality today. Steady Gains and Stalled Progress provides the detailed information and powerful insight we need to understand a complicated past and design a better future.
Download or read book Technology and Innovation in Adult Learning written by Kathleen P. King and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive exploration of technology's role in adult learning Technology and Innovation in Adult Learning introduces educators and students to the intersection of adult learning and the growing technological revolution. Written by an internationally recognized expert in the field, this book explores the theory, research, and practice driving innovation in both adult learning and learning technology, and illuminates a powerful approach to recognize and leverage these opportunities. Building on current trends and research in technology and its use, each chapter illustrates the need, opportunities, and examples of current and future technologies that scaffold adult learning, and provides comprehensive coverage of both current and emerging challenges. Many adult learning faculty, practitioners, and students realize that technology presents a growing and ever-present set of issues, yet few feel confident in identifying the opportunities that arise with each step forward. This book clarifies the interplay between adult learning and learning technology, and characterizes the cyclic exchange of information and opportunities that link these fields now and in the future. Understand the critical issues currently affecting adult learning Learn how technology is presenting both opportunities and challenges for the teaching and learning of adults in different contexts Examine recent research on learning technology for adult learners Discover how technological innovation can be applied now and how it will continue to shape the future of learning Adult learning is on the rise, and there is no mistaking technology's role; whether they're learning with or about technology, today's adult learners come with unique sets of needs and skills that demand specialized approaches. Traditional pedagogical techniques don't transfer directly, and learning technology requires its own unique approach to development and use. Technology and Innovation in Adult Learning equips practitioners to further adult learning and shape the future of the field, while providing a rich perspective for classroom inquiry and research.
Download or read book School Environment in Africa and Asia Pacific written by Princewill I. Egwuasi Ph.D and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication of School Environment in Africa and Asia Pacific is a continuation of our maiden and second publications, School Environment in Nigeria and the Philippines, published in February 2015, and School Environment in Nigeria, Ghana, and the Philippines, published in March 2017. The philosophy being that since there is a shift from globalization to internationalization and to cross-border education, there is the urgent need to revisit some topical issues in our school environment toward the realization of an internationalized, qualitative, and cross-border teaching and learning, using information and communication technology. It is therefore, based on this, that the Dakar framework for action (UNESCO, 2000) stipulates the use of ICT as one of the major strategies to attain education-for-all (EFA) goals.

Book excerpt: Teaching to Change the World is an up-to-the-moment, engaging, social justice-oriented introduction to education and teaching, and the challenges and opportunities they present. Both foundational and practical, the chapters are organized around conventional topics but in a way that consistently integrates a coherent story that explains why schools are as they are. Taking the position that a hopeful, democratic future depends on ensuring that all students learn, the text pays particular attention to inequalities associated with race, social class, language, gender, and other social categories and explores teachers’ role in addressing them. This thoroughly revised fifth edition remains a vital introduction to the profession for a new generation of teachers who seek to become purposeful, knowledgeable practitioners in our ever-changing educational landscape—for those teachers who see the potential for education to change the world.
