Product Description
Problem-based Learning (PBL) is a student-centeredinstructional approach that initiates learning bypresenting students with an ill-structured, real-lifeproblematic scenario from which they have to identifythe real problem. The scenario is structured aroundthe curriculum, which students acquire as they solvethe problem using their learning styles and multipleintelligences.In this research, the author found that manySeventh-day Adventist teachers are unaware of PBL andembrace a teacher-centered teaching philosophy. However, they do appear willing to learn about thisstudent-centered teaching method and to implement itin their classrooms despite perceived barriers.They indicate that they do not expect support fromtheir school systems, parents,and colleagues, aspreconditions to successful adoption.It appears that the major barriers to PBL adoptionare reflective of the teaching philosophy of theschool systems, parents, and teachers. If thesebarriers are addressed, it is likely to increase thepossibility that successful adoption of PBL will takeplace. ... Read more

3. Demography Defeated: Floridas K-12 Reforms and Their Lessons for the Nation

Product Description
Jeb Bush campaigned for governor on a clear and bracing set of education reforms in 1998. Having won office, he immediately pursued a dual-track strategy of education reform: standards and accountability for public schools, and choice options for dissatisfied parents.

Florida lawmakers followed these reforms with additional measures, including
instruction-based reforms; the curtailing of “social promotion,” which advances students to higher grades regardless of academic achievement; merit pay for teachers; and additional choice measures.

This study examines the 10-year impact of these reforms and finds remarkable improvement in Florida’s test scores.

Between 1992 and 1998, Florida’s already-low fourth-grade National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading scores were declining. In 1999, when these reforms were enacted, nearly half of Florida fourth-graders scored “below basic” on the NAEP reading test, meaning that they could not read at a basic level. But by 2007, less than a
decade after the education reforms took effect, 70 percent of Florida’s fourth-graders scored basic or above. Florida’s Hispanic students now have the second-highest statewide reading scores in the nation, and African-Americans score fourth-highest, when compared with their peers.

In fact, the average Florida Hispanic student’s score is higher than the overall average score for all students in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Florida Hispanic students eligible for a free or reduced- price lunch under federal poverty guidelines also outscore the statewide averages of some of these states, including Arizona.

Florida’s African-American students outscored two statewide averages for all students in 2007 and were within striking distance of several more. Florida’s success proves that demography is not destiny in K-12 education, with the right set of reforms.

In the pages that follow, we examine Florida’s reforms and suggest ways to emulate and improve upon them in other states. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Medical schools exist as part of a complex educational and health care system with affiliations to universities, teaching hospitals, out-patient clinics, students and communities. In addition to the education and training of its students, should the medical school be charged with any responsibility for understanding and meeting the health care needs of the population of its "community"? In December 1990, The Royal Society of Medicine Foundation Inc and the Josiah Macy Jr Foundation sponsored a conference on medical education in Canada, the UK, the USA and Australia to discuss that question. An international panel of authorities examined how medical schools in the four countries could profit from each other's experience in organizing medical education so that faculty and students recognize more fully their responsibility for understanding and meeting the health needs of the community. ...
