A critique of the seven intelligences & a personal evaluation.
A critique of the seven intelligences & a personal evaluation In this part, the multiple intelligence approach would be critical reviewed. "Intelligence" was traditionally defined as " the global capacity to act purposefully, to think rationally, & to deal effectively with his environment". However, Gardner (1983) defined it as "the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting". More precisely, he used the method of factor analysis to term intelligence. There were multiple intelligences: verbal linguistic, mathematical/logical, visual/spatial, bodily/kinaesthetic, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence. This approach was widely accepted, though, is it a realistic and useful approach to the understanding of intelligence? Firstly, the role of some of these intelligences was obscured such as musical intelligence. Gardner (1983) termed musical intelligence as the ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch and timbre; and appreciate the forms of musical expressiveness. It could be interpreted as a passive experience that requires no knowledge about music, or development of identifiable musical skills. The real meaning of musical intelligence was hard to be identified, so there would be difficulties in measuring and evaluating behaviour. It was also suspected that to what extent

Nintendo market demand
Court Rye Market Research Nintendo DS - Marketing Strategy Problem/Situation Description: Ten years ago Nintendo dominated both the console and handheld gaming industry. Today the gaming industry has grown so much that it is competing directly with the movie industry! Growth in this industry is occurring in the demographic of 18-34 year olds. Nintendo is primarily focused on 5-17 year old gamers with its first party software, especially in the handheld gaming market. As the industry expands Nintendo is struggling to retain market share percentages as their primary market of young male gamers is already saturated. Marketing Objectives: Increase Nintendo's market share and boost sales without losing touch with the current market of 5-17 year old males. Target Audience: The suggested target audience for Nintendo to expand towards is 5-17 year old females. Budget: The three tools suggested for reaching the target consumer most effectively are TV commercials, movie theater pre-show trailers, and the actual casing and packaging of the product. A high quality 30 second commercial is estimated to cost $100,000 to $350,000 dollars. Movie trailer slides are estimated to start at $1500+ for a four week period. Casing and packaging redesign costs are unknown but estimated to be relatively small when spread over the number of units being produced. Total costs for the
Types of Teachers
Types of Teachers As junior university students,we soon will graduate. During so many years of studying,we all have been experiencing some frustrations adjusting to school. But we have learned how to survive various types of teachers after all these years.They influence us more or less in our lives. 1. Parents-like teachers. Mostly we can find such teachers in kindergarten.They always appear young and pretty;they care about all the things you have done;they will help you dress up,play with you ,sing and dance with you.They know exactly what you like or dislike and they wouldn't force you to do homework.They will clean your face when you make mud on it;they will company you to washing room ,for you always mistake the way to it.Every morning when your parents send you to kindergarten ,you will see them standing at the gate to welcome you.Every night,they will stay with you until your parents come to pick you up.They are the only persons in kndergarten you can turn to for help and also the only persons you want to please there. Your heart fills with joy when they praise you.Maybe because such teachers always stay with children, their voice and behavior are a bit childlike.When you grow up and go back to visit them ,you will find them more like your little sisters. 2. Friends-like teachers. Such teachers have most homonious relations with their students.You and them can always
Critically evalue the aims of Vouchers Systems for Education in General
Critically evalue the aims of Vouchers Systems for Education in General From the beginning of the 1980's, Conservative party policy was highly influenced by the virtues of the free market as advocated by a number of right-wing theorists and think-tanks. Like the rest of the public sector, education was not to escape the wrath of New Right ideological reforms that were to ensue. The principal aims of educational policy were to make the system more responsive to industry and more susceptible to market forces; the desired means of achieving the latter being increased parental choice through the introduction of a scheme of educational vouchers. Educational vouchers emerged from the USA in the 1960's and have been described by Arthur Seldon of the Institute of Economic Affairs as "a highly flexible instrument, with many variations, that would replace the financing of schools through taxes under political control and bureaucratic supervision by payments direct from parents thus equipped with a new ability ( for the 95% with middle or lower incomes) to compare schools and move between them" (Seldon, 1981:1). The subject of vouchers has been much debated in recent months and has, to an extent, been implemented in the nursery and pre-school sector with expansion envisaged across the whole education arena. The basic scheme involves vouchers being given to
Philosophy of Physical Education
Philosophy of Physical Education By: Kim Moss PEMJ 575 Spring 2005 Philosophy of Physical Education Physical Education is the study and practice of the science and the art of human movement. Physical Education gives individual the opportunity to learn to perform efficiently all the motor skills they need for every day living. Physical Education is also found in recreational activities in which students will become physically fit and know the relationship between physical fitness and health. Students improve their skills, knowledge, and attitudes which will help them lead active healthy lifestyles as adults. Teaching Physical Education is what I do and I enjoy it. Physical Education should be both "physical" and "educational". We need to teach our students to lead a fit lifestyle. I want my students to enjoy activity and understand the importance of this in their lives. My classes are child centered, worthwhile, exciting, fun, and meet the needs of all my students. Children should be treated with respect and dignity. My students look forward to coming to class. My classes are challenging for all my students. My philosophy of physical education is to encourage all students to develop an interest in being physically active now and for a lifetime. There are many ways in which I can encourage children in to being physically active. Three main areas that I choose to

Departmental and Faculty meetings have been used to revise the SoW and to develop strategies to teach it. Since there are no workbooks quite a lot of the activities are at the teachers discretion, as long as the objectives are fulfilled. Head Of Department's also write support material for their SoW such as cut outs, worksheets, spider diagrams, extension material. The schemes of work are constructivist in their
Find out whether the College Club was providing what was wanted; and whether it was providing it efficiently.
Chapter 4 ATTITUDE STUDY RESULTS 4.1 INTRODUCTION The project had two main functions; to find out whether the College Club was providing what was wanted; and whether it was providing it efficiently. This chapter will examine the results of the student and the staff based attitude survey. The resource allocation will be analysed in the following chapter. This chapter * examines the results from the student based study * examines the results from the staff based study * draws conclusions from the results 4.2 THE STUDENT BASED STUDY. Out of the 550 questionnaires sent out, 62 were returned. The replies were generally positive in nature, with many of 51/52? students commenting on the improvements made over the summer. Once all the data had been correlated, there seemed to be two main themes emerging; 51? and 52? students had seen the major improvements that had happened over the summer and were basing their opinions on how much better the club was, but 53? students had not seen the improvements and were just commented on what they saw and comparing it to what they had expected a student bar to be like. Question 1 Wednesday nights and the occasional sports hostings, are seen by many as the only functions held in the College Club. By beginning with a question about these it was hoped a familiar subject would establish rapport, thus attracting attention from the
Women in developing countries.
This essay looks at women in developing (Third World) countries. Many women's development is affected because of limited opportunity in receiving education, which in turn affects their participation in the labour force. The essay seeks to answer why constraints of literacy, when put into place, restrict women's education in developing countries and how education influences women's progression in the labour force. For most women living in developing countries a lack of education has profounding effects upon their development process. Constraints of literacy in developing countries Poverty and illiteracy go hand in hand. Majority of the illiterate women live in countries with increasing economic difficulties and enormous debt burdens. The existence of multiple causes such as discrimination and deprivation against the female population is easily revealed (E. Malmaquist, 1992:19-20). Two hypothesis (1) barriers and (2) effects are constraints of literacy. Both will be examined and broken down for better understanding as to why they correlate with education to affect women's development. Several barriers reveal important patterns and trends in women's education in developing countries1. Each indicators leads to the same conclusions: the level of female education is low in the poorest countries, with just a handful of exceptions and by any measure the gender gap is largest
