Immortalizing Values Through Education for Sustainable Development #FreeStudentArticles



Immortalizing Values Through Education for Sustainable Development #FreeStudentArticles

Education is the primary agent of transformation towards sustainable development, increasing people\'s capacities to transform their visions for society into reality. Education not only provides scientific and technical skills, it also provides the motivation, and social support for pursuing and applying them. For this reason, society must be deeply concerned that much of current education falls far short of what is required. When we say this, it reflects the very necessities across the cultures that allow everyone become responsible towards quality enhancement.

Improving the quality and revelation of education and reorienting its goals to recognize the importance of sustainable development must be among society\'s highest priorities. It is not that we talk only about environment but also about every component of life.

We therefore need to clarify the concept of education for sustainable development. It was a major challenge for educators during the last decade. The meanings of sustainable development in educational set ups, the appropriate balance of peace, human rights, citizenship, social equity, ecological and development themes in already overloaded curricula, and ways of integrating the humanities, the social sciences and the arts into what had up-to-now been seen and practiced as a branch of science education.

Some argued that educating for sustainable development ran the risk of programming while others wondered whether asking schools to take a lead in the transition to sustainable development was asking too much of teachers.

These debates were compounded by the desire of many, predominantly environmental, NGOs to contribute to educational planning without the requisite understanding of how education systems work, how educational change and innovation takes place, and of relevant curriculum development, professional development and instructive values. Not realizing that effective educational change takes time, others were critical of governments for not acting more quickly.

Consequently, many international, regional and national initiatives have contributed to an expanded and refined understanding of the meaning of education for sustainable development. For example, Education International, the major umbrella group of teachers\' unions and associations in the world, has issued a declaration and action plan to promote sustainable development through education.

A common agenda in all of these is the need for an integrated approach through which all communities, government entities, collaborate in developing a shared understanding of and commitment to policies, strategies and programs of education for sustainable development.

Actively promoting the integration of education into sustainable development at local community

In addition, many individual governments have established committees, panels, advisory councils and curriculum development projects to discuss education for sustainable development, develop policy and appropriate support structures, programs and resources, and fund local initiatives.

Indeed, the roots of education for sustainable development are firmly planted in the environmental education efforts of such groups. Along with global education, development education, peace education, citizenship education, human rights education, and multicultural and anti-racist education that have all been significant, environmental education has been particularly significant. In its brief thirty-year history, contemporary environmental education has steadily striven towards goals and outcomes similar and comparable to those inherent in the concept of sustainability.

A New Vision for Education

These many initiatives illustrate that the international community now strongly believes that we need to foster - through education - the values, behavior and lifestyles required for a sustainable future. Education for sustainable development has come to be seen as a process of learning how to make decisions that consider the long-term future of the economy, ecology and social well-being of all communities. Building the capacity for such futures-oriented thinking is a key task of education.

Explore The Ways To Get Better Grades #FreeStudentArticles




Explore The Ways To Get Better Grades #FreeStudentArticles

In order to excel in your school studies, the very first step is to realize the difference between studying and learning. Learning is a natural mental activity that makes you to get familiar with certain ideas and theory and their practical usage. It is quite different from the study process which doesn't involve any active mental process rather it requires you to rote memorize things as they are mentioned in the course books.

Rote memorizing is not the right approach to learn things and ideas. If you really want to attain knowledge about a subject, your approach towards learning needs to be holistic. You need to increase your ability to interlink the ideas of various study material and to practice it in your mind so that the ideas, facts and theory may naturally get imprinted on your mind. By doing so, you will not only be able to get better grades at school, but also, you will be able to make better and practical usage of your education.

There are many e-books available that will provide you various techniques to memorize things, lists, theories, and a lot more. Yet, none of such books actually make you familiar with the means of learning. They try to help you in increasing your ability to memorize things without actually understanding them. Such strategies often fail to help you get better grades in school examinations. This is so because when you try to memorize ideas and theory without understanding them and making them your own ideas, you will remain prone to forget them or to commit mistake while copying the things that you stored in your memory. The learning process has nothing to do with memorizing things. In order to attain better grades at school you should try to learn more study less.

How to learn to get better grades

The correct way of learning is to break the study material in into easily understandable and practical partitions. Once you do so, you will be able to visualize the interlinking between the whole study materials. As you will start understanding the initial bits of your course, you will increase your potential to learn further with the help of the familiarity of the ideas of the study material. There is a good e-book that offers some of the best possible learning strategies to teach you how to learn more and study less to gain success.

Building Relationships With A Tutor #FreeStudentArticles






Building Relationships With A Tutor


Introduction

A tutor is the most important guide and mentor for any student. Besides the school teaching a person when gets a tutor for his or her studies, it becomes a support system for him or her.

It has been observed since last one decade that the education system has been taken as a business organization these days. Thus often parents complain the school is not taking care of the studies of the students. In this scenario the most important support that the parents are trusting for their children's studies is the tutor. Even the students feel comfortable and ease with the tutor.

Now a question may arise that how to get comfortable with the tutor so that the student can have a proper studies and score good in the exams.

Get To Know The Qualification And Credentials Of The Tutor

It is very important to know about the qualifications of the tutor before hiring him or her. If the tutor is not qualified enough then he will be neither able to teach the student properly nor be able to handle the student well. It is seen that with qualifications comes excellence and experience. So, a qualified person will be able to understand the mentality of the student and will be able to handle the student.

Also if the tutor is a qualified person in maths and the student is searching for a tutor in history the obviously this will be a mismatch and the student will be not able to benefit from the teacher.


Their Level Of Computer Literacy

Today the role of computer has been in excess in all fields including the field of education. Various schools are following an educomp system, that is, education via computer system to teach the students. In this case the tutor should also be well qualified in the computer technique so that he can help the student in the various needs when required.

Do They Have Any Constraints?

As mentioned before education has become a profession as well as a business proposition these days. So, even the tutors take the education system as a business itself. There are many tutors who have opened up their private coaching centers where many students study together. There are various others who provide personalized guidance to students on a one to one basis but charge more for the same. So, it is important for the student to understand which situation is best suited for him/her. If the student is able to adjust with many students together then he can be sent to a coaching center. But on the other hand if he is not able to match up with others and needs single attention, a personalized tutor can be arranged for.

Conclusion

Students do learn many things in school but it is often seen that they get diverted attention in school due to the large number of students. So, a tutor can help the student in studying properly, in gaining a better understanding of the chapters taught in the school.

Different Types of Handshakes #FreeStudentArticles







Different Types of Handshakes

Every gesture we make, it tells something or the other about our personality. A handshake is also one of these gestures that depict your personality and attitude. Thus, it is important for our personality development that we should choose the right kind of hand shake. There are many opinions on what a hand shake can tell you about someone.

Some people are of the opinion that handshakes are done only the way we learn it and thus they do not give the true picture of the personality of a person. But then, if this is so, then why do we learn about the body language?

The point here is that handshakes do help in knowing the characteristics of a person.

Handshake forms the most important part of greeting a new person. People can judge a lot from handshakes. A handshake conveys power, confidence and professionalism. This little gesture provides major clues that can help you to identify the person whom you are communicating with. If you are unable to perform a perfect handshake, it may create undesirable impressions on the other person. Thus, it is very necessary to put the best hand forward and follow the etiquette of handshaking to be in the good books of the other person.

Here are some basic types of handshakes understanding which will help you to depict a good personality to others:

The Standard Hand Shake

In this, hands are engaged and people maintain eye contact, exchange smiles and shake hands two to four times.

Palm Up

This type of hand shake means I am here to serve you.

Palm Down

This type of hand shake is an authoritative one. It shows an authoritative, superior or controlling personality of the person. It says that you are there to take the lead, to take care of things, to get the job done.

Arrogant Shake

It is made intentionally to demoralize your sense of security. In this the person offers a flat hand with the palm facing down to indicate that he is the boss. The best way to answer such a hand shake is by giving a hand with palm facing upwards.

Hand in Hand

The greeter will offer a hand with the palm facing up and before you both start shaking your hands, he would sandwich your hand with his other hand.

This is sometimes done to show care or concern or familiarity or to empathize for the loss of a closed one. If this type of hand shake is done even when the two of you are not good friends, then this is a form of false sincerity.

Palm Vertical

The person extends his hand forward with his palm exactly vertical to the ground. It sends a message of equality and greetings.

Finger Vice

When somebody grabs just your fingers and not the entire hand it means he wants to maintain a distance. These people are often insecure.

Bone-Crushing Shake

A person making a hard, stiff handshake pretends to break your fingers and tries to prove that he is stronger than you and wants to control you. The message of squeezing your hand clearly indicates that the person is trying to intimidate you. People who make such a handshake are confident, but they also have a tinge of aggressiveness in them. So just remember that while facing such people, smile broadly and offer a firm-handed shake.

Condolence Handshake

The person will pretend to be too familiar to you by clasping your right hand or arm with an attempt to hug you. This behavior may be accepted during a funeral, but it comes out as a inappropriate act otherwise.

Using Good Form

Raise your hand and extend until webs of both hands meet. Grasp across the palm wrapping fingers around the opposite side from the thumb.

Hold firmly.

Shake a few times or for about three or four seconds.

If your hands are full then give a polite nod rather than dropping everything. If the other persons hands are full, be understanding and don't offer a hand shake. Your gesture would be appreciated.

If wearing gloves, remove them.

Maintain eye contact while engaging in yourself in a handshake. This will surely communicate self confidence and sincerity.

The pressure applied in a handshake is relative to the culture you are in. For example, in North America, a firm hand shake is appropriate. Making it stronger or weaker than a basic firm grasp will only leave a negative impression.

Choose the most appropriate handshake and remember these tips to prove your good personality. Help yourself in personality development.
