Paradigms of curriculum design: Implications for South African educators

This paper provides an overview of the four major research paradigms and suggests that they provide useful ways of looking at curriculum design. It proposes that worldviews can be roughly delineated along similar categories to those of research and that the fundamental differences between these four paradigms is a major factor accounting for the different ways in which educators approach the task of curriculum design. The paper uses quotes from course evaluations to illustrate these differences and to question how educators with each of the four worldviews would use student evaluations as a means of course improvement. Key words: Research paradigms, curriculum design, student evaluations, academic development [Jnl for Language Teaching Vol.37(2) 2003: 215-223

The Dangers of Student-Centered Learning – A Caution about Blind Spots in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Student-centered learning is an increasingly popular approach that shifts the focus from the teacher to the student. The approach argues that we need to have a clear understanding of who our students are and what their needs are in order for us to provide quality education. This paper applauds the focus on the student but raises two concerns about absences in this approach. Firstly, student-centered approaches rarely consider the actual knowledge being taught and learnt. There is little consideration of how the disciplinary knowledge is constructed and what norms and values underpin such constructions. Secondly, student-centered approaches are often undertaken within the dominant autonomous discourse where student success or failure is seen to result from characteristics inherent in the student. She is understood as an individual rather than as a member of a larger social group and there is equally little acknowledgement of the socially constructed nature of universities and the practices within them

Dissolved Oxygen Concentration in the Big Sioux River Downstream from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, During Winter Conditions

The Big Sioux River originates in northeastern South Dakota and in general flows southward to Sioux City, Iowa, where it joins the Missouri River. A major portion, 69 percent, of the Big Sioux River Basin is located in South Dakota. The remaining 31 percent of the basin\u27s 9,570 square miles is distributed almost equally between the states of Iowa and Minnesota. The climate of the Big Sioux River Basin is described as midcontinental, subhumid, and with rapid fluctuation of temperature. Temperatures of over 100° Fare not uncommon during summer months and temperatures frequently fall below 0° F during the winter months. Average temperatures at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for the months of· January and July are 15.2° and 74.3° F, respectively. This study is concerned with that reach of the Big Sioux River located between the Sioux Falls wastewater treatment plant and the Klondike Bridge. The reach measures 32.0 river miles and has an average gradient of about 2.0 feet per mile. From 18.4 river miles below the treatment plant to its concurrence with the Missouri ·River, the Big Sioux forms the border between South Dakota and Iowa, and thus is classified as an interstate stream. The Sioux Falls wastewater treatment plant is located 1.0 miles downstream from the Falls of the Big Sioux and immediately downstream from the spillway of the Big Sioux River diversion channel. Aeration of the river water occurs at both the falls and spillway. As a result of this aeration, the dissolved oxygen content of the river would be relatively high at the treatment plant outfall

A Comparison Study Of American Indian And Caucasian Sex Offenders On Trauma And Selected Trauma Effects

American Indian/Alaskan Natives (AI/AN) have a long history of documented trauma experiences. In addition, AI/AN individuals are likely to have fewer economic resources and are faced with increased traumatic experiences in comparison to the general population. Further, the American Indian population is also affected by overrepresentation with incarceration rates in federal and state government detention centers. These data support the need to address non-sexual recidivism issues in the American Indian population. Little research has examined trauma experiences, selected trauma effects, and unique differences for American Indian sex offenders. Treatment employed for American Indian sex offenders is conducted based on data supporting Caucasian sex offender treatment. However, there is a need to examine the unique differences among American Indian sex offenders, as they may require more trauma-informed care or other specific treatment needs. This study hypothesized American Indian male sex offenders would report more adverse childhood experiences, trauma experiences, higher current PTSD rates in relation to their most distressing traumatic event, more selected trauma effects, and higher non-sexual re-offense risks factors than Caucasian male sex offenders. Results indicated American Indian sex offenders reported significantly more adverse childhood experiences, higher rates of underreported trauma symptoms, impulsive/problematic sexual behaviors, higher rates of suicidal behavior in the past 6 months, and higher non-sexual re-offense risk factors than Caucasian sex offenders. Additional analyses were conducted on the data and are described in the results section
