It takes on peculiar importance resulting in significant institutional changes in the university itself as well as transformations of its role in the local community development. The implementation of joint education projects involving all the members of the university community from students to the rector enables this objective fulfilment. The paper determines the extent to which the implementation percentage of one of such National Aviation University`s educational projects and the percentage of the involved educational process participants influence the achievement of the strategic goal. The research presents a comprehensive analysis of the project aimed at creating a clear and transparent cooperation mechanism between the University and its graduates together with business and the local community, that is, with external stakeholders. It is proved that the common interests and collaboration form the basis of cooperation with different groups of stakeholders. Thus, taking into account their interests and expectations, it is possible to find mutually beneficial cooperation forms with business. The formation of the culture underlying interaction between the university and its graduates lays the foundation for an active community that is ready to invest in the university. It is also proposed the model of the integrated system \"education-science-business-society\" the implementation of which is aimed at meeting the needs of the main internal stakeholders present and future students. It is stressed that the focus on external stakeholders` interests and requirements cultivates the University`s academic reputation. The given model of building effective interaction with external stakeholders can be successfully adapted to ensure the quality of the provided educational services of any university.","PeriodicalId":213104,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Advanced Research in Education","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124955334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates the role of grammar in communicative language teaching which aims broadly to apply the theoretical perspective of the Communicative Approach by making communicative competence the goal of language teaching and by acknowledging the interdependence of language and communication. The objective of this study is to provide valuable insight to the ELT practitioners regarding the place of grammar in the communicative approach. Firstly, the theoretical aspects of Grammar, the communicative approach to second language teaching and communicative competence put forward by different scholars in the field of second language teaching are discussed in detail. Secondly, the research methodology discusses the research tools and the number of respondents to collect data for this study. Finally, the data were collected and analyzed to derive findings of the study. The findings have revealed that the teaching grammar plays a vital role in developing communicative competence of the second language learners. At the same time, the study has pointed out that teaching grammar is not only the aspect of second language and the sole focus of second language teaching. Instead, it should be taught along with the language skills to achieve the communicative competence of the second language learners.","PeriodicalId":213104,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Advanced Research in Education","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122978608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Innovation within the curriculum requires a content-based approach to be replaced by a competence-based approach in which critical thinking is stressed in educating primary students. This study aims to determine the extent to which critical thinking is implemented in current primary moral education classes to provide a knowledge base for designing a new moral education curriculum that can be effective in teaching critical thinking to Vietnamese primary students. It reveals that despite a generally positive attitude toward the use of critical thinking by students, critical thinking is still currently implemented only to a low extent in moral education classes. The study reinforces the belief about the deep influences of Confucian heritage culture on the implementation of critical thinking that primary teachers and students use in their classroom practices. It recommends that critical thinking should be more widely fostered in moral education in Vietnam with attention needed to be given to cultural features and divergences. The study suggests the application of a social constructivist perspective and transformative learning to a new design of the moral education curriculum with a view to improving critical thinking and sociocultural values among students.","PeriodicalId":213104,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Advanced Research in Education","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123023593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hokkaido University, Japan, has an international postgraduate programme called Nitobe School. One of the main features of this programme is that it accepts a wide range of both international and Japanese students belonging to various departments. This programme includes a course on the basics of team-based learning, in which the students learn mainly about team building and management, facilitation, project management, and presentation. After completion of this course in 2016, we conducted a survey to grasp the students’ self-evaluation of their skill development. We found a tendency that both the Japanese and international students recognised the improvement in their team building and managing skills. Further, on the one hand, the Japanese students thought facilitation skills were the most useful, on the other hand, the international students believed team building and managing skills to be the most useful. Furthermore, both the Japanese and international students put project management skills as the second-most useful skills. Our study will help us understand the students’ ways of thinking and their attitudes and provide us basic data for improving the curricula.","PeriodicalId":213104,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Advanced Research in Education","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124967064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability to self-regulate helps children to make friends, solve problems and be mindful. Mindfulness is taught by parents and varies across families and cultures (Erwin & Robinson, 2016). When children are mindful they learn to be aware of others and be sensible which develops into empathy skills. Empathy is the ability to understand the feelings of others (Decety, Meidenbauer & Cowell, 2018). Parents play an important role in the development of empathy as they teach children to identify their own feelings and emotions when taking others’ perspectives. As such, parent-child interactions have a critical role in the development of social skills (Gadaire, Henrich & Finn-Stevenson, 2016) particularly when discussing feelings and emotions. This study used Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory as a framework to analyze how adults guide children to identify feelings and emotions. Data was collected at a children’s museum in a major city in south central Texas. Ninety parents and their 3-5-year-olds participated in a 10minute prompt. Each session was videotaped and later coded. The prompt included PowerPoint slides with photos depicting feelings and emotions. Parents were asked to use the questions on each slide or to ask their own questions. Findings indicate that emotion, description, expression, inquiry, and elaboration are important to elicit children’s elaboration regarding their own feelings during parent-child interactions. Findings also show the importance of parents using appropriate vocabulary to identify feelings and emotions when interacting with children.","PeriodicalId":213104,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Advanced Research in Education","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129970749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This type of teaching leads to a new way of approaching content. It leads to the construction of knowledge in a more interactive and more cooperative way. For this to happen, pedagogy also changes. New possibilities and new questions arise. The e-students also find other challenges, such as the need for greater autonomy, greater self-regulation capacity. Among the many factors that can be found, there is e-student support to achieve success and avoid dropout. According to Simpson (2012) there are several types of support among them non-academic support or as Ubachs & Konings (2016) point to a pedagogical support. It was on the basis of these assumptions that it was developed a curricular unit for the 1st year of Higher Education. In its structure, in addition to the formal content, forums (Forum Challenges) were placed for collaborative work among students mediated by the teacher. Fifty-two students of both sexes, who were enrolled in this scheme for the first time, participated in the study. The evaluation that the students made points to a positive evaluation and intend to transpose this knowledge to other curricular units throughout their learning process. Second, we asked that they use 3 words to define the curricular unit. the highlighted aspects refer to methods of study, organization and reflection. We also have planning, responsibility and self-knowledge. This type of support was considered by the students as one more value for them. They recognize their role in the approach to content.

The Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) is tailored to provide knowledge and skills VI students need, allowing them equal opportunities in and beyond school (Hatlen, 1996). This research investigates additional skills programmes for VI students and how they are supported for success in KSA. The research question is as follow: How is the ECC conceptualised and implemented within KSA’s educational system and how does it interface with societal, cultural and political considerations? A sequential mixed methods research design was employed includes classroom observations, a demographic data survey and semi-structured teacher interviews collected from schools catering to VI students in Riyadh. Data were coded and thematically analysed, with Norwich and Lewis’s (2005) ideas on commonality and differentiation of pedagogic positions constituting the analysis framework. Recent findings suggest that teachers more experienced with VI students have a greater understanding of the additional curriculum. It was also found that, even in special schools, additional skills were either assimilated or separated from the general curriculum, with uneven implementation influenced by several factors, including time, space, resources, support, motivation and parental involvement. The research results will contribute to the improvement and extension of future Special Educational Needs (SEN) skills programmes in KSA.","PeriodicalId":213104,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Advanced Research in Education","volume":"658 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116095780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
