Effective teaching biology at bachelor level: essays, report for laboratory exercise and fieldwork and good experiment and report for final year project. Lecturers must be equip with knowledge, skill, good attitude, time and technologies.

 most effective teachers of this study were that they: 

• focused on the delivery of biology instruction. 

• resisted distractions from their classroom efforts. 

• maximized student use of class time. 

• studied and planned with other teachers 

• focused all student time on the Standard Course of Study goals. 

• planned students’ activities that are always under teacher control. 

• used data to guide their instructional practice. 

 

 the least effective teachers of this study were that they: 

• had less focus on Biology. 

• spent less time on planning. 

• planned alone and used prepared lessons from the district pacing 

guide. 

• took less time to prepare their own lessons. 

• used a wider variety of activities in the classroom and had students 

spend more time in student led activities. 

• were not always focused on the Standard Course of Study

Education reformation cannot be a political decision BUT always a political agenda

Higher Education Reform: What Students Expect Next? Earning and Employment! Great challenge for universities to design curriculum and teaching approach for good students and marketable graduates

History and Future of Higher Education: we must dare to move forward with current challenges and technologies. All lecturers must explore new techniques for effective teaching. professors must lead and must be exposed for better and attractive effective teaching.

In this course we will learn about the features of higher education that were designed specifically to prepare workers and leaders for the Industrial Age, and we’ll strategize ways that, together, we can change learning--inside of school and out--for the world we live in now--and even to help improve our world.

Predictions For The Future Of Higher Education: What, where, and how will we learn? We cannot living in silo

1: ACADEMIC CURRICULA WILL BECOME MORE MULTI-DISCIPLINARY

Today’s students demand cross-disciplinary learning and thinking, particularly in science, engineering, and technology. This cross-disciplinary learning demand is manifesting itself in buildings that seek to be academies of tomorrow and entrepreneurial hubs focused on bringing business and creative minds together. Colleges and universities need to think about how these space changes serve as curriculum drivers.

2: EDUCATION LEADERS WILL NEED TO BALANCE MOOCS AND TRADITIONAL LEARNING

It is important to remember higher education institutions don’t need to choose between online learning and traditional learning--they need to find the right balance. Recent research shows a fifth of Chief Academic Officers (CAOs) don’t feel online education is strongly represented in their institutions’ long-term strategies, even though they believe it should be. 

The truth is nature of today’s learning that extends beyond the classroom. Institutions that begin to best leverage an appropriate balance can make better use of time in the classroom and also define tailored approaches to how the professor, student and material work together across the platforms.

3: STUDENT RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION WILL BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER

To best recruit and retain students, universities need to evaluate how they offer a student life experience that prepares students to be healthy and dynamic people in the future.  This is pushing universities to find creative ways to fund new spaces and programming for students. The key here is strategically providing students with key resources that give them more opportunity to make the most of their collegiate life experience.

4: HIGHER EDUCATION NEEDS TO INVEST IN TECHNOLOGY

Today’s students aren’t just bringing their own technology devices to the classroom, they’re also bringing them to the student center, the gym and the dining hall. This increased use places greater demands on a campus IT infrastructure. Universities seeking to solve today’s challenges will need to respond with robust access and bandwidth upgrades. At the same time, institutions needs to respond to the “mobility shift” which allows educators and students to be nimble and engaged from anywhere.

5: HIGHER EDUCATION WILL EXPLORE NEW FUNDING MODELS

The historic practice of providing funding to state institutions based on enrollment is already shifting to performance-based models. These models will redirect educational priorities and investment to help more students succeed while also redefining an institution’s responsibility to its students and its community. While the performance model discussions are more apparent for the state–funded institutions, their impact may extend further as it pertains to incubation, research and corporate support. Already, these systems are gaining momentum and leaders need to be highly involved with their build-out.

Air Quality; Air Pollution Index (API): not just reporting but how to control or maintenance high quality air for breathing. Its free and belong to all. all must have aright to make sure we consume clean air every day. We are not fighting for the right right,

Sometimes history is very important. History and science may help to solve Israeli-Palestinians conflicts. Political sciences alone may not be able to solve this conflicts.
