Such educators are commonly referred to as Non Native-English-Speaking Teachers (NNEST). There are specific concerns which must be addressed in the training of these teachers. This paper provides a framework to guide the construction of a model for this type of language teacher training. Effective ESL teacher training and issues specific to the NNEST cohort are examined. There is an examination of current research that highlights the importance of ongoing tutorials and mentoring programs in such training. This is followed by a detailed analysis of the unique challenges facing NNEST. Finally, this analysis guides the construction of a contemplated training model, which comprises the following domains: Intense Training and Learning; Encourage Personal Connection; Infused Training; Cultural Awareness; Focus Beyond Vocabulary and Grammar; Use of Technology; Confidence in Strengths; Support throughout the Practicum. The conclusion of the paper includes directions for further research, while this model can be put into practice as a guide for teacher training.","PeriodicalId":325097,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and e-Learning","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129910979","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}

It is widely acknowledged that eLearning changes the role of the instructors and students, enabling a more personalized and effective learning environment. But to what extent can eLearning benefit students outside mainstream education? Adopting a mixed-method approach that involved classroom observation, focus group interview and survey, the present research investigated the benefit of eLearning on students with special educational needs (SEN) from the perspectives of schools’ management, teachers, students, and parents. Using the Learning Environment, Learning Process, Learning Outcomes (LEPO) framework, our results indicated that eLearning could deliver a wide range of benefits to the LEPO of students with SEN. eLearning facilitates the transformation of traditional classroom into a more interactive learning environment. It also enables a more flexible learning process less constrained by location and time. Students who engage in eLearning were reported to have higher learning motivation. Parents and teachers could better monitor students’ learning progress through eLearning technology. Teachers reported improvement on students’ discipline-specific and generic learning outcomes, such as teamwork, technological skills, and self-expression ability. Achieving such benefits require careful design and planning. It is hoped that this paper could stimulate further discussion on how eLearning technology can be used to facilitate the learning of students with SEN.Â","PeriodicalId":325097,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and e-Learning","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129668696","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}

While principals were selected based on their availability, teachers were selected using simple random sampling. Descriptive statistics like Percentage and weighted mean were employed to analyze the collected data after it was inserted to SPSS version 20. Based on the analysis of the data, it was found that leadership is distributed moderately in the selected public secondary schools. Moreover, there were some observed perception differences between teachers and principals on the extent of leadership distribution. While principals tend to be positive on every dimensions of leadership distribution, teachers on the other hand were observed to be less positive. It was also found out thatlack of commitment to participate in leadership activities and the inability to demonstrate responsibility on the teachers’ side were found to be the main challenges to distribute leadership. On the other hand failure to empower, initiate and encourage teachers to make significant contribution, failure to show high professional standards for teachers and not involving the teachers in decision making or initiating ideas from the top despite the meaningful contribution of ideas by teachers from the principals was observed to be main challenges to distribute leadership.It is recommended that initiating and involving teachers in leadership roles from the principals’ side have to be strengthened to cultivate the best out of the teachers and to improve the performance of their school. On the other hand willingness and cooperation from the teachers sideis recommended as it will pave the way for their future professional development and enjoy their extra role beyond teaching in addition to their contribution for their school success.","PeriodicalId":325097,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and e-Learning","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121761531","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}

Literature reviewed relating to school science have suggested that students lack interest in science. This lack of interest on the part of the students may be as a result of problems teachers face implementing the science curriculum at the primary level. These problems if not identified may affect the quality of science education. The study was guided by one research question which was further sub- divided into two sub- questions.  A descriptive survey research design was used. A 20 item questionnaire was administered to eighty teachers from ten primary schools from the administrative regions five and six in Guyana. . Validation of the instrument was achieved through the contribution of a science educator from the University of Guyana. A reliability coefficient of 0.77 was obtained using Spearman-Brown split half coefficient. Data collected were analysed using mean and percentages. The finding showed that teachers admitted that they need continuous professional development sessions to enhance their science instruction and science content knowledge. It was therefore recommended that a research study be conducted to ascertain the teachers' specific area of interest for continuous professional development in science education.","PeriodicalId":325097,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and e-Learning","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123015688","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 cited reforms were implemented by Japanese Education Minister Shimomura in 2015, but Japan would later back down on these cuts. In Brazil, however, the cuts affect 30% of the budget for Federal educational institutions and frozen the continuity of the most important program from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), which distributed grants for researchers on graduate programs. This paper conducts a literature and bibliographic review in order to debate the Brazilian’s cuts on Higher Education. It is concluded that those cuts are mainly politically motivated, affecting mostly the hard sciences instead of Humanities and Social Sciences. It is also concluded the political motivations behind the slashing of funding for Education may backfire, fostering the actual and new forms of political associativism between Brazilian students and researchers.","PeriodicalId":325097,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and e-Learning","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133829207","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}
