Over the years, numerous graduates that acquire entrepreneurial knowledge and skills have been found not to put it to use once they graduate from tertiary institutions despite the prominent role which entrepreneurship education plays in providing these graduates the opportunities to gain the knowledge, skills, attitude, career aspiration and culture needed for business start-up or new ventures due to certain hindrances. The study thus undertakes an empirical analysis to examine the relationships that exists between entrepreneurship education and Nigerian tertiary institutions graduates¿ business start-up. Descriptive survey research design was employed; and graduates were sampled using Yaro Yamane sampling Formula. A structured questionnaire which included the general entrepreneurship education and business start-up test was applied in gathering information. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic and logistic regression was used in testing four hypotheses. The major finding of this study was that graduates entrepreneurial knowledge does not have a significant relationship with graduates¿ personality traits.

In general there are three types of implementation the English subject for elementary in the 2013 Curriculum, those are: elementary school without English subject, elementary school with English without evaluation, and elementary school with English with evaluation. Those differences of implementation are based on the 2013 Curriculum which establish English as optional extracurricular subject. In the fact, English for elementary is needed to give strong foundation to the higher level of education. Besides, some experts advocate the benefit in learning English in the early age. This study is aimed to answer two research problem: (1) What are the strategies used by management of MIN 1 Malang in order to accommodate the English needs in the 2013 Curriculum? , (2) What are the teacher¿s and instructor¿s strategies to achieve the goal of teaching and learnng at Islamic State Elementary School 1 Malang ( MIN 1 Malang). The data were collected through qualitative research. The techniques in collecting data were classroom observation, extracurricular observation, interview, focus group discussion, and document analysis.

As long as humans have existed on the planet, they have looked at the world around them and wondered about much of what they saw. This book covers 21 different phenomena that have been observed in nature and puzzled about for decades.Only recently, with the development of the microscopes and other tools that allow us to study, evaluate, and test these observed phenomena at the molecular and atomic scale, have researchers been able to understand the science behind these observations. From the strength of a marine sponge found at the depths of the oceans, to the insect-hydroplaning surface of the edge of a plant, to the intricacies of the eyes of a moth, nanotechnology has allowed science to define and understand these amazing capabilities. In many cases, this new understanding has been applied to products and applications that benefit humans and the environment. For each of the five ecosystems- the ocean, insects, flora, fauna, and humans-the observations, study and understanding, and applications will be covered. The relationship between the more easily observed macro level and understanding what is found at the nanoscale will also be discussed.

All educators bring to their work preconceived ideas of what the curriculum should be and how students learn. Seldom are they thought through. Since without an adequate philosophical base it is difficult to bring about desirable changes in policy and practice, it is necessary that educators have defensible philosophies of engineering education. This point is illustrated by recent debates on educational outcomes which can be analysed in terms of competing curriculum ideologies. While these ideologies inform the development of a philosophy of engineering education they do so in light of a philosophy of engineering for such a philosophy focuses on what engineering is, and in particular how it differs from science. This is addressed in this study through consideration of the differences in the modes of abstraction required for the pursuit of science on the one hand, and the pursuit of engineering design, on the other hand. It is shown that a philosophy of engineering is not a philosophy of science or a philosophy of engineering education, but it is from a philosophy of engineering that a philosophy of engineering education is drawn. Uncertainty is shown to be a key characteristic of engineering practice. A way of formulating a philosophy of engineering is to consider it through the classical prism that splits the subject into five divisions, namely epistemology, metaphysics, logic, ethics aesthetics. Additionally, "e;behaviour"e; also characterizes the practice of engineering.

The intention of this book is to demonstrate that curriculum design is a profoundly philosophical exercise that stems from perceptions of the mission of higher education. Since the curriculum is the formal mechanism through which intended aims are achieved, philosophy has a profound role to play in the determination of aims. It is argued that the curriculum is far more than a list of subjects and syllabi, or that it is the addition, and subtraction, of items from a syllabus, or whether this subject should be added and that subject taken away. This book explores how curricular aims and objectives are developed by re-examining the curriculum of higher education and how it is structured in the light of its increasing costs, rapidly changing technology, and the utilitarian philosophy that currently governs the direction of higher education. It is concluded that higher education should be a preparation for and continuing support for life and work, a consequence of which is that it has to equip graduates with skill in independent learning (and its planning), and reflective practice. A transdisciplinary curriculum with technology at its core is deduced that serves the four realities of the person, the job, technology, and society.

Pragmatism attends to the practical outcomes of what we think and do, the social community in which we practice, and the bases of experience to inform our ideas and practices. Practice theories help explain what we do as complex systems of activity. Together, pragmatism and practice theories help broaden our understanding of the nature of engineering work as a social practice having important consequences for individuals and society. The practical nature of engineering embedded in our complex social and community systems is emphasized. Of all the pragmatists John Dewey's influence on education has been the most profound.He promoted social democracy in education. Although he founded experimental schools with this as their goal of major interest, to engineering educators his promotion of problem solving through a form of inquiry is his major attraction. Its modern embodiment is problem-based learning. It requires teachers to become facilitators of learning rather than transmitters of knowledge. How, within the framework of a traditionally oriented curriculum Dewey's epistemology of inquiry-based learning might be introduced is discussed. Lonergan's basic method of the human mind underlying specialized methods offers a basis for a unified theory and pedagogy of engineering. It also provides for a conception of engineering that gives due recognition to its ethical character and to the need for engineering virtues. This knowing-based view of engineering, focused on "e;engineering insight,"e; provides the basis for a core, discipline-neutral approach to engineering.It proposes an engineering education centered on norms inherent to the knowing process, specifically attentiveness and intentionality. These norms in turn provide a source for defining and developing engineering virtues and character.

This book elucidates the factor that enhances women empowerment through English language learning. Empowerment is observed to assist people with low status increasing the power and influence to enhance prosperity, prestige, and dignity. Although various mechanisms foster women empowerment, our research demonstrated the specific phenomenon of the English language learning whether it contributes to empowering the women as a whole as English proficiency has a prolific impact or constraint to women empowerment because of a large number of women failing to succeed in the workplace due to lack of competence. Besides this, several studies argued that the English could be the constraints to women empowerment as it is viewed as ¿killer Language.¿ It is to be claimed that the English language could be the intimidation to their mother langue that might lose their language if the concentrate on English language learning. Surprisingly it is even viewed at the colonial aspects of English learning in a negative way which could overwhelm local language instead of promoting women empowerment.

The study sought to explore ways of fostering self-reliance through an integrated tourism curriculum in Lesotho, using community participation. Tourism as a vocational subject was introduced in Lesotho in 2011, following the introduction of an integrated curriculum in 2009, with a view to arming learners with practical, creative, productive and entrepreneurial skills, so that they can face life challenges of poverty and achieve self-reliance. The study found that teachers ignore the message and intentions of the 2009 integrated curriculum, and continue teaching tourism as an academic subject, and reject the demands and aspirations of the 2009 integrated curriculum. . The study found that practicalising tourism to make crafts to sell to the tourists and other customers, with the assistance of community members, improved the learners¿ understanding of tourism as a vocational subject, and improved the acquisition of practical, productive and entrepreneurial skills, which enabled the learners to use tourism to generate income and earn a living, alleviating poverty and ultimately achieving self-reliance.

The students are spoon fed throughout school and they constantly attend classes, extra classes, tests and tuition to learn the same concepts day in day out and finally vomit everything on the day of final exam. Some of the students are pushed into courses which they don¿t prefer and it makes them rather depressed. Students lose interest and forget the actual purpose of going to Schools and tend to become lethargic and uninterested. Whether they admit it or not, most students will at one point get homesick, especially those who attend a school that is more than three hours away from home.
