It outlines those programs and benefits to be offered on campuses to help service international students more effectively. Japanese students are here identified. Since they speak English as second language, they have more stress, requiring more time to read their textbooks, receiving the abuse from students that are enrolled with them in classes or who are being taught by them when they serve as graduate assistants. This causes miscommunication and a loss of learning comprehension. The fact is that the native born student may feel resentment about being passed over for assignment to the teaching assistantship when it is given to the foreign born student. A series of programs is suggested to provide cultural sensitivity for the foreign student and then a staged program series to help the foreign student adapt (Lin, & Yi, 1997, 473-80).
Finally, the needs of students with special needs can not be ignored. Unfortunately, many times these students' needs are studiously ignored and the last to be fulfilled. Due to the stereotypes of Asian students as universally brilliant, little work has been done on Asian and in this case, Korean children with special needs. For the authors, assessment and evaluation provides a neutral yardstick that levels the playing field and allows scholars to study all of the groups equally and with precision. Referral and assessment ability is critical. Without proper assessment, the student with special needs will always be handicapped in his learning, whatever his ethnic or nationalistic derivation. The culturally sensitive institution will be knowledge of this and help bridge the gap via targeted assessment and testing (Park, & Turnbull, 2001, 133-34).
To review, language barriers, in English when spoken as a foreign language or dialect and the speaking of other languages, degrades the learning experience and fosters distrust amongst participants in the educational process. The successful crossing of the boundaries is key in the fulfillment of the mission of educating everyone equally and to the best of their abilities. A comprehensive world view is fundamental to the...
worldview is a "set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false)," ("Four Major Worldviews," n.d.). The presuppositions that form our personal worldview have a strong bearing on our ongoing attitudes, behaviors, goals, and expectations. Our worldview might change throughout the course of our lives, due to exposure to new ideas, new people, or new ways of looking at the world. Naturally, religious upbringing and
Worldview Perspective Insights from Considering Worldviews Creswell (2014) discusses four philosophical worldviews: post-positivism, constructivism, transformative, and pragmatism that can be applied to the proposed topic for this research is a comparison of brand loyalty among young people in the United States and Kenya. Each perspective carries different ramifications for studying the analysis of brand loyalty amongst the intended demographics. While many areas in Kenya are modernized and have incorporated Western views and
The view that we should forgive our enemies and those who hurt us, had a profound impact on me. There were a lot of people in my life who caused inexplicable pain and as a result of that pain; I had a lot of anger and hatred in my life. Jesus taught that we should forgive our enemies. This is one of the hardest things you can be asked to
Worldviews: Then and Now Having a worldview is something that has always been with society, but that has not been studied and focused on in such detail until recently. The original term came from German, as there was really no word for it in English. Now, it has a much more commonplace meaning, and is used more frequently to provide insight into how a person sees the world around him or
worldview? A worldview gives an account off the nature of reality, addressing whether this world is the only one, and the moral and historical status of this world (an answer to "Where are we"). A worldview also provides diagnoses of the problems experienced by human beings ("Why are we suffering?"). Finally, a worldview outlines a prescription for alleviating these problems ("What is the remedy?") (Jensen, L.A. (1997), 326). A
How hard it was to scrub a floor with elbow grease, how it was her chore as a child to wash the dishes and help her mother hang out the laundry with clothespins. Do children still have chores, she wondered? Her children had a maid service that came in to their homes, more often than not, to take care of such basic, seemingly trivial duties. They had well-stocked refrigerators
