Administrative Anarchy in American Academia: Corruption and Chaos in Chiropractic Colleges, Clinical Nutrition programs, Functional/Naturopathic ... by Alex Vasquez (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

"Administrative Anarchy in American Academia: Corruption and Chaos in Chiropractic Colleges, Clinical Nutrition programs, Functional/Naturopathic Medicine programs, and more" provides a shocking, sobering, saddening, and solution-oriented first-person view from inside the current state of corruption and deregulation in American academia, specifically but not exclusively inside America's chiropractic colleges that are increasingly rebranding themselves as so-called "health science universities" (ie, "pseudoversities) despite not meeting strict criteria for such and not enforcing reasonable and modern standards of academic rigor. Speaking mostly from his own experience, Dr Vasquez provides examples of heart-breaking and mind-melting experiences from within chiropractic colleges/pseudoversities and clinical/functional nutrition programs as students were betrayed, faculty were abused and clear-cut, and administrators ran wild in flagrant disregard against any moral/ethical norms or any minimalist conceptualization of professionalism, academic integrity, malpractice/risk in healthcare, and patient well-being. Testimonials from other clinicians and professors, references to authoritative videos, and citations to peer-reviewed research are provided as supporting resources that readers can access for additional information and perspectives. This narrative is accompanied by several unique, colorful, and fascinating diagrams (INFOGRAPHICS) that demonstrate the interconnections of academic corruption ("Academic Corruption Map"), the cycle of institutional underperformace ("Strategic-Potemkin Stupidity, Intentional Underperformance"), the self-explanatory "Neoliberal hijacking of liberal vocabulary and ideals: using the language of freedom for domination" and finally the semihumorous "Academic Payola Cycle: Flushing Students and Society Down the Toilet of Neoliberal Profiteering and Deregulation." All-in-all, DrV's "Administrative Anarchy in American Academia" is a rewarding ...

49 C.A.G. Repeats by Robert Tedder (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

"I have Huntington's disease." When Mark Tanner heard Emily say this, he knew the disease that is a ticking time bomb. Huntington's disease is a defective gene on the fourth chromosome of the body's twenty-three chromosomes. Babies born of a Huntington's parent have a 50-50 chance of developing the disease. A person's normal chromosome count is seventeen to twenty, and anything above that will develop a disease that will slow a person's speech, lead to uncontrollable body movements, a feeding tube, and a very painful death. Emily Balkin had forty-nine C.A.G. repeats on that fourth chromosome. Huntington's hit her hard. Mark could not help but fall in love. He became her husband and caretaker. They were both teachers, and when Emily got sicker and sicker, Mark had to step up. He did more and more, often at the expense of his own health, to ensure Emily had the best possible care in the world. He often went unthanked, and Mark started to look for affection in all the wrong places. He went down a spiraling path of self-destruction, losing his family in the process and being undermined by people he would call relatives. Above all, Mark made three promises to Emily that he ended up breaking. The one he hated the most was that Emily died alone.

Outsourcing Student Success: The History of Institutional Research and the Future of Higher Education by Joseph Wycoff (10 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

American scholars of higher education -- the faculty who study the intellectual, social and economic activity of colleges in the United States -- have raised impediments to the scientific study of higher education and frustrated the accumulation of knowledge about what works for college student success for over fifty years. At its inception in the early twentieth century, the field of institutional research aspired to apply scientific principles to the study of higher education and its administration. During the first fifty years of its practice, the field developed on a trajectory similar to other social sciences during the twentieth century, fostering more complex and rigorous studies of college success while also guiding statewide research on student access. By the mid-1960s, when system-wide improvements gained traction across the nation, a growing body of academic literature on higher education decried institutional research as a threat to traditional prerogatives of faculty at the local institutions. Prominent scholars of higher education called for "an academic orientation... bolstering the point of view of the faculty." By the mid-1970s, this group gained control of the national associations for the study of higher education and the organizations subsequently dismissed institutional research -- the scientific study of higher education -- as an obsolete or misguided line of inquiry. Over the next forty years, scholars associated with the national organizations argued that higher education institutions are intractably unique and, therefore, studies of colleges and universities do not lead to generalizations that support the accumulation of knowledge or the advancement of a social science. Higher education scholarship, they claimed, "should not be expected to produce knowledge of pervasive and lasting significance" and research on higher education "is more an art than a science." As Clark Kerr famously declared, "the essential conservatism of ...

Effective Multitasking: Learn How to Get More Done in Less Time through Effective Multitasking and by Avoiding Common Pitfalls of Distracted ... by Justine Gantt (29 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

If you're ready to start multitasking in a more effective and productive way, then this book is for you! Productivity and efficiency are the keys to success in today's workplace. Today's work environment has changed a lot over the past few decades, and while the older generation is used to having one job, and performing the same individual task for years and years, that is simply not the case today. Unless you are an assembly line worker, for example, or a surgeon specializing in one specific niche surgery type, you simply will no longer be able to survive the workforce today doing the same thing over and over again. Many people turn to multitasking in order to complete their workloads in the required timeframe (which seems to be growing shorter and shorter as employers associate the value of time with the value of money). Theoretically knowing how to multitask and actually being good at it are two different things though. Despite the good intention behind multitasking, research has shown that it inevitably produces a bottleneck effect, which then can lead to a significant slow-down in the processing of the tasks being handled. Since the brain cannot fully focus on multiple tasks at the same time, multitasking might actually cause the task to be finished slower. Not only that, but since you're only paying attention partially - but not completely - the tasks are naturally predisposed to a greater number of errors. Multitasking has also received a lot of criticism because it forces one to pay less attention to a lot of information and only focus on what is perceived to be most important. This can cause people to feel less pride in what they accomplished, since they did not really pay that much attention. This ebook is designed to help you discover a different, better, and much more effective way to multitask - one that avoids all the common pitfalls of the typical style of multitasking that leads to inefficiencies and errors.

Life as a Professor: Observations on Declining Education Quality by Dr Randall J Dyck (4 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

As a result of ongoing academic changes seen over the last decade, the students of today are obtaining a poorer understanding of material, which means that they are less prepared for jobs in the workplace and employers are reluctant to hire them when they graduate. Less courses are being offered in various subject areas, less details are being presented in those courses, the number of assignments is reducing, the assignments have become more brief and easier to do, less reading is required, less reference material is being given, and tests are becoming more basic. This book presents observations about the declining quality of content delivered in courses at universities and colleges, possible reasons for these changes and their impact on the quality of classroom instruction, as well as some recommended solutions that are needed. Follow along as the issues are presented and perhaps, together, we can make positive changes now that will protect the future and value of education. My technology book, "E-Commerce Concepts", discussed strategies to use when a business wanted to take advantage of e-commerce to increase their sales and international exposure. Another book, "MBA Strategic Analysis", discussed methods to use to assess business strengths so that opportunities for growth can be more effectively implemented. A final book, "Computerized Financial Systems", reviewed database designs and processes that are needed for implementing functional financial systems.

Shadow Education in the Middle East: Private Supplementary Tutoring and its Policy Implications by Mark Bray Price verified 3 hours ago

This volume offers insights into the role of private supplementary tutoring in the Middle East, and its far-reaching implications for social structures and mainstream education. Around the world, increasing numbers of children receive private tutoring to supplement their schooling. In much of the academic literature this is called shadow education because the content of tutoring commonly mimics that of schooling: as the curriculum changes in the schools, so it changes in the shadow. While much research and policy attention has focused on private tutoring in East Asia and some other world regions, less attention has been given to the topic in the Middle East. Drawing on both Arabic-language and English-language literature, this study commences with the global picture before comparing patterns within and among 12 Arabic-speaking countries of the Middle East. It presents the educational and cultural commonalities amongst these countries, examines the drivers of demand and supply of shadow education, and considers the dynamics of tutoring and how it impacts on education in schools. In addition to its pertinence within the Middle East itself, the book will be of considerable interest to academics and education policy makers broadly concerned with changing roles of the state and private sectors in education.

Doing Research: A New Researcher’s Guide (Research in Mathematics Education) by James Hiebert (2 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

This book is about scientific inquiry. Designed for early and mid-career researchers, it is a practical manual for conducting and communicating high-quality research in (mathematics) education. Based on the authors' extensive experience as researchers, as mentors, and as members of the editorial team for the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME), this book directly speaks to researchers and their communities about each phase of the process for conceptualizing, conducting, and communicating high-quality research in (mathematics) education. In the late 2010s, both JRME and Educational Studies in Mathematics celebrated 50 years of publishing high-quality research in mathematics education. Many advances in the field have occurred since the establishment of these journals, and these anniversaries marked a milestone in research in mathematics education. Indeed, fifty years represents a small step for human history but a giant leap for mathematics education. The educational research community in general (and the mathematics education community in particular) has strongly advocated for original research, placing great emphasis on building knowledge and capacity in the field. Because it is an interdisciplinary field, mathematics education has integrated means and methods for scientific inquiry from multiple disciplines. Now that the field is gaining maturity, it is a good time to take a step back and systematically consider how mathematics education researchers can engage in significant, impactful scientific inquiry.

The Nature-Study Idea: And Related Writings (The Liberty Hyde Bailey Library) by Liberty Hyde Bailey Price verified 6 hours ago

In The Nature-Study Idea, Liberty Hyde Bailey articulated the essence of a social movement, led by ordinary public-school teachers, that lifted education out of the classroom and placed it into firsthand contact with the natural world. The aim was simple but revolutionary: sympathy with nature to increase the joy of living and foster stewardship of the earth. With this definitive edition, John Linstrom reintroduces The Nature-Study Idea as an environmental classic for our time. It provides historical context through a wealth of related writings, and introductory essays relate Bailey's vision to current work in education and the intersection of climate change and culture. In this period of planetary turmoil, Bailey's ambition to cultivate wonder (in adults as well as children) and lead readers back into the natural world is more important than ever.

This open access book, inspired by the ICME 13 Thematic Afternoon on "European Didactic Traditions", takes readers on a journey with mathematics education researchers, developers and educators in eighteen countries, who reflect on their experiences with Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), the domain-specific instruction theory for mathematics education developed in the Netherlands since the late 1960s. Authors from outside the Netherlands discuss what aspects of RME appeal to them, their criticisms of RME and their past and current RME-based projects. It is clear that a particular approach to mathematics education cannot simply be transplanted to another country. As such, in eighteen chapters the authors describe how they have adapted RME to their individual circumstances and view on mathematics education, and tell their personal stories about how RME has influenced their thinking on mathematics education.

ICCS 2022 is a continuation of two earlier IEA studies, ICCS 2009 and ICCS 2016, and, for the first time, this survey includes the option of a computer-based assessment. Responding to enduring and emerging challenges of educating young people in a world where contexts of democracy and civic participation continue to change, the study addresses issues related to young people's engagement through digital technologies, migration and diversity, perceptions of the political system, global citizenship, and education for sustainable development. Over the past 50 years, IEA has conducted comparative research studies in a range of domains focusing on educational policies, practices, and outcomes in many countries around the world. Prior to ICCS 2022, IEA conducted four international comparative studies of civic and citizenship education, with a first survey implemented in 1971, a second one in 1999, third in 2009 and fourth in 2016. ICCS 2022 data will allow education systems to evaluate the strengths of educational policies, both internationally, and in a regional context, and to measure progress in achieving critical components of their educational policy agendas.

An Academy at the Court of the Tsars: Greek Scholars and Jesuit Education in Early Modern Russia (NIU Series in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian ... by Nikolaos A. Chrissidis (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

The first formally organized educational institution in Russia was established in 1685 by two Greek hieromonks, Ioannikios and Sophronios Leichoudes. Like many of their Greek contemporaries in the seventeenth century, the brothers acquired part of their schooling in colleges of post-Renaissance Italy under a precise copy of the Jesuit curriculum. When they created a school in Moscow, known as the Slavo-Greco-Latin Academy, they emulated the structural characteristics, pedagogical methods, and program of studies of Jesuit prototypes. In this original work, Nikolaos A. Chrissidis analyzes the academy's impact on Russian educational practice and situates it in the contexts of Russian-Greek cultural relations and increased contact between Russia and Western Europe in the seventeenth century. Chrissidis demonstrates that Greek academic and cultural influences on Russia in the second half of the seventeenth century were Western in character, though Orthodox in doctrinal terms. He also shows that Russian and Greek educational enterprises were part of the larger European pattern of Jesuit academic activities that impacted Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox educational establishments and curricular choices. An Academy at the Court of the Tsars is the first study of the Slavo-Greco-Latin Academy in English and the only one based on primary sources in Russian, Church Slavonic, Greek, and Latin. It will interest scholars and students of early modern Russian and Greek history, of early modern European intellectual history and the history of science, of Jesuit education, and of Eastern Orthodox history and culture.

International Students from Asia in Canadian Universities: Institutional Challenges at the Intersection of Internationalization, Racialization and ... by Ann Kim (Routledge) Price verified 7 hours ago

This book explores how the recruitment and retention of Asian international students in Canadian universities intersects with other institutional priorities. Responding to the growing need for new insights and perspectives on the institutional mechanisms adopted by Canadian universities to support Asian international students in their academic and social integration to university life, it crucially examines the challenges at the intersection of two institutional priorities: internationalization and anti-racism. This is especially important for the Asian international student group, who are known to experience invisible forms of discrimination and differential treatment in Canadian post-secondary education institutions. The authors present new conceptualisations and theoretical perspectives on topics including international students' experiences and understandings of race and racism, comparisons with domestic students and/or non-Asian students, institutional discourse and narratives on Asian international students, comparison with other university priorities, cross-national comparisons, best practices, and recent developments linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. Foregrounding the institutional strategies of Canadian universities, as opposed to student experience exclusively, this direct examination of institutional responses and initiatives draws out similarities and differences across the country, compares them within the broader array of university priorities, and ultimately offers the opportunity for Canadian universities to learn from each other in improving the integration of Asian international students and others to their student body. It will appeal to teacher-scholars, researchers and educators with interested in higher education, international education and race and ethnic studies.

The Changing Landscape of IBD: Emerging Concepts in Patient Management by Raymond Cross, MD, MS (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

In the past 2 decades, the introduction of biologic therapies that target underlying disease processes has dramatically changed the treatment of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Current biologic therapy with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors and anti-integrins has improved the treatment of IBD flares and maintenance of clinical remission. These agents are, however, limited by primary nonresponse and loss of response in a substantial proportion of patients, disease relapse after cessation of therapy, immunogenicity, and adverse effects such as risk for infection and malignancy. As the pathogenesis and treatment of IBD are complex and variable, there is a need to better understand the underlying pathogenic mechanisms and develop drug therapies to target these mechanisms. Geared to the needs of gastroenterologists, this IBD eHealth program includes an update on patient assessment and treat-to-target goals, as well as a review of best practices in shared decision-making in treatment decisions for induction and maintenance of remission. In addition, the immunopathogenesis of IBD is discussed in the context of current and emerging targeted therapies for moderate to severe disease.

Self-Organised Schools: Educational Leadership and Innovative Learning Environments (Routledge Advances in Management Learning and Education) by Alberto F. De Toni (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Self-Organised Schools: Educational Leadership and Innovative Learning Environments describes the results of the research we carried out at fourteen Italian schools that highlight how there is a positive correlation between the capabilities of school self-organization and the innovativeness of learning environments: in other words, the more self-organized schools are, the more innovative learning environments are. The results of this work are part of the strand of research of bottom-up emergency and self-organization, an extremely fruitful trend as shown by Sugata Mitra, the founder of the Self-Organized Learning Environments, according to whom, education is a self-organized system where learning is an emerging phenomenon. This book gives new insights on self-organization studies, and most of all, to the idea that change - organizational and educational innovation - sparks from the bottom. This book is aimed specifically at school principals of all levels, scholastic reformers, educational scholars, organisation and management consultants who want to innovate learning and management of learning. These actors will benefit drawing useful examples from more than thirty different learning environments worldwide, fourteen examples of schools that self-organize, two frameworks - and two ready-to-use questionnaires - measuring the innovativeness of a learning environment, and the capability of a school to self-organize. Self-organization is the most fascinating future of innovative principals

Words Made Flesh: Nineteenth-Century Deaf Education and the Growth of Deaf Culture (The History of Disability Book 4) by R. A. R. Edwards (14 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

During the early nineteenth century, schools for the deaf appeared in the United States for the first time. These schools were committed to the use of the sign language to educate deaf students. Manual education made the growth of the deaf community possible, for it gathered deaf people together in sizable numbers for the first time in American history. It also fueled the emergence of Deaf culture, as the schools became agents of cultural transformations. Just as the Deaf community began to be recognized as a minority culture, in the 1850s, a powerful movement arose to undo it, namely oral education. Advocates of oral education, deeply influenced by the writings of public school pioneer Horace Mann, argued that deaf students should stop signing and should start speaking in the hope that the Deaf community would be abandoned, and its language and culture would vanish. In this revisionist history, Words Made Flesh explores the educational battles of the nineteenth century from both hearing and deaf points of view. It places the growth of the Deaf community at the heart of the story of deaf education and explains how the unexpected emergence of Deafness provoked the pedagogical battles that dominated the field of deaf education in the nineteenth century, and still reverberate today.
