Factors that Affect Reading Progress

2. Directional Orientation-spatial and directional orientation underlie in all aspects of perception- visual. auditory, tactile and kinesthetic.
3.Maturation-  lag in the maturation of the brain part neopallium can slow down intellectual and emotional development.

Developmental Reading

Developmental Reading deals with the theories of child`s early stages of learning his progress to fluency in oral language,   reading and writing, and the transfer of his home literacy to school literacy.

Marie Clay(1966) was the first one who used the term emergent literacy. Emergent literacy refers to the competencies and skills in early childhood.

Emergent or emerging means that the children are always in the process of becoming literate, probably since they are just few months old(Teale,1987)

Sulzby(1991) defines literacy as the reading and writing behaviors of young children that precede and develop into conventional literacy.

GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT

GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT

In addition to age, gender is one of the universal dimension on which status difference are based. Unlike sex, which is a biological concept, gender is a social construct specifying the socially and culturally prescribed roles that men and women are to follow.

SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS

SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Individual, formal organizations, commonly identified as “institutions,” may be deliberately and intentionally created by people. Their development and functioning in society in general may be regarded as an instance of emergence, that is, institutions arise, develop and function in a pattern of social self-organization, which goes beyond the conscious intentions of the individual human’s involved.

What is social institution?

In any human society are social structures and social mechanisms of social order and cooperation that govern the behavior of its members. These are called social institutions and according to functional theorists perform five essential tasks namely: replacing members or procreation, teaching new members, producing, distributing and consuming goods and services, preserving order, and providing and maintaining a sense of purpose.

Social institution is a group of social positions, connected by social relations, performing a social role. It can also be defined in a narrow sense as any institution in society that works to socialize the groups of people in it.

Cultural Changes

Cultural Changes

Whenever two or more people come together with a shared purpose, they form a culture with its own written and unwritten rules for behavior. Our families, workplaces, and communities all have cultures. These cultures have a tremendous, though rarely recognized, impact upon or behavior as individuals.

Multiculturalism is a policy that emphasizes the unique characteristics of different cultures, especially as they relate to one another in receiving nations.

Multicultural Education

Intercultural Communication

Intercultural Communication

Two types of communication:

Ø  verbal refers to use of language

Ø  non verbal refer to the use of gestures, facial expressions, and other body movements

Language is an abstract system of word meaning and symbols for all aspects of culture. It includes speech, written characters, numerals, symbols and gestures and gestures and expressions of non-verbal communication.

The Four Pillars of Education

The Four Pillars of Education

These four pillars of knowledge cannot be anchored solely in one phase in a person's life or in a single place. There is a need to re-think when in people's lives education should be provided, and the fields that such education should cover. The periods and fields should complement each other and be interrelated in such a way that all people can get the most out of their own specific educational environment all through their lives

Social Dimensions of Education

Introduction to the Social Dimensions of Education

Sociologists see the education as one of the major institutions that constitutes society. While theories guide research and policy formulation of education, they also provide logical; explanations on why things happen the way they do. These theories help sociologists understand educational systems.

Consensus is a general or widespread agreement among all members of a particular society.
