 ethical issues relating to practitioner-based research practices in a learning institution with pupils with a disability and those without The main focus of research is to expand knowledge, discover the truth, and provide critical information for planners. Studies that involve people with different disabilities are essential to revealing issues requiring prompt actions that are used in the evaluation of services and other vital programs. During a research process, ethical issues arise and need tobe addressed by the researcher before, during, and after the research process. However, trying to look for all ethical concerns is almost not possible, especially when researching an institution that has both students with disabilities and those that are not disabled. In this context, this paper will delve into critical analysis of ethical issues relating to practitioner-based research practices in a learning institution with pupils with a disability and those without. Ethical Issues This research will be conducted in Good News primary school, where the researcher is a general TA for the two years 3. In his regular class, one boy is autistic. In the other year…

The Change to Student-Centered Learning Learning, since the eighteenth century, has always been under the Pedagogy model, which is a teacher-oriented approach towards successful learning outcomes. It assumes that the results of a learning process are dependent on the personality of the learners, and students are not in a position to know their learning needs (Ozuah, 2016). Similarly, it suggests that learning should be subject –oriented and extrinsic motivation are essential for better results (Ozuah, 2016). Again, model downplays the power of prior experience as irrelevant in learning (Ozuah, 2016). However, over time, many theorists and psychologists in the education field have come strongly to change the narrative of the traditional learning model, thus pushing for Andragogy as the appropriate approach to ensuring that earners maximize their learning experience. Andragogy is an adult-centred learning model. It emphasizes the need for learners to conceptualize, rather than memorize. The approach is learners-centred and pushes for the ability to guide, direct and control the outcomes of the learning process (Ozuah, 2016). It also emphasizes the value of prior experience in learning, the willingness…

Learning Disabilities             Learning disabilities occur to people irrespective of their ages. One of the challenges facing people with learning disabilities is the lack of intervention measures. Most people do not recognize their disabilities until they are too late. An adult might know about their disabilities, but children have more difficulties, especially if the disabilities are not realized in time. Instructors also need to have information on the various disabilities so that they can address the challenges facing their learners without conflict. Learning disabilities may have accompanying complications where victims are frustrated by the treatment they get from the people around them. One would generally feel disadvantaged if treated as those without disabilities, and this might be a result of a lack of knowledge or negligence. Dyslexia, non-verbal learning disabilities, and language processing disorder are some of the most common learning disorders and have presented significant challenges both to learners and instructors. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that gives learners challenges when reading since they have challenges decoding sounds to construct free-flowing speech. The disability is associated with dysfunctions in…

Violent Video Games Should be Banned In the wake of the shootings that continue to happen in American, the role of video games in society has attained a media spotlight. American children between the age of 8 to 18 spend most of their time playing video games that not only damage their brain but also cause dementia and some confusion (Griffins, 2015). This essay argues that video games should be banned in the United States based on the following reasons; firstly, exposure to violent video games increases aggressive feelings, thoughts, and behavior and a decreased level of empathy.

While some studies claim that there lacks any strong influence between video games and violence among kids, the body…

A persuasive speech is a specific type of speech in which the speaker has a goal of convincing the audience to accept his or her point of view. The speech is arranged in such a way as to hopefully cause the audience to accept all or part of the expressed view. Though the overarching goal of a persuasive speech is to convince the audience to accept a perspective, not all audiences can be convinced by a single speech and not all perspectives can persuade the audience. EXAMPLES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEDSF15HVBc[unique_solution]   Persuasive speeches are composed of both logical and emotional appeals. Logic appeals are arguments that present a set of information and show why a conclusion must rationally be true. For example, arguments heard in court are logical arguments. Emotional appeals are appeals that seek to make the audience feel a certain way so that they will accept a conclusion. Negative political ads, for example,…

The challenges facing Delta Pacific             Delta Pacific (DPC) has found itself gradually losing its primary product’s (computer hardware) market share. The reason for this negative development is globalization. In turn, globalization paved the way for free trade and low-cost overseas labor and products. It is against this backdrop that toward the end of the 1990s, DPC leadership noticed that it was no longer untenable for it to compete with cheaper foreign products. Hitherto, DPC had been setting higher prices for its products to match their superior quality. However, current dynamics render the tradition of higher pricing untenable. Foreign-made products were now either surpassing or matching DPC’s mark of quality. Even when redefining its product, some of the sales representatives found difficulty accommodating the changes. Some of the representatives sought after alternative opportunities elsewhere. The time being taken to train employees was also a double-edged sword. As the training sessions helped employees get accustomed to their new roles, employees were spending more time in the classroom than in the field with their clients. This means that DPC could not generate…
