Abstract
The paper shows that there can be no argument that new technology has taught society to appreciate and rethink old skills, technologies and values. It shows that as technology continues to improve educational options, business application and social communication, there will be less of a need to consider old skills or technologies, as they will no longer prove effective. The paper shows how technology has impacted business, education and social communication over the past decade.
From the Paper
"The ways in which this observation is true can fill volumes; however, one only needs to be familiar with but a few examples in order to understand the role technology has played in recent history. Inasmuch as technological diversification has allowed humanity to pursue goals and dreams once thought to be an impossibility, there seem to be fewer and fewer limits placed upon what mankind can ultimately accomplish. This may have its obvious advantageous aspects, yet there also exists a paradox of modern communication, in that society is becoming more isolated as it becomes more technologically advanced."

Personal Growth in Business Education, 2006.
This paper looks at undergraduate business programs with regards to development.

Abstract
This document discusses the relevance of a Bachelor's of Business program in terms of both professional and personal development. The writer points out that undergraduate business programs provide a baseline of skills and knowledge that provide employers the assurance that future employees who are graduates of such a program are both resourceful and competent. Several courses, both general and core are examined in the context of personal development as well as their importance in the workplace in the funeral home industry specifically. Finally, some recommendations are made to further shift business school course content and delivery methodology into virtual formats.
From the Paper
"A typical college education in any specialty or field implies a certain degree of baseline knowledge, resourcefulness, and organizational capabilities inherent in an individual's academic training who has obtained such a college education. These attributes are even more important and further developed in undergraduate business education programs because the ability of these programs' graduates to make informed and incisive decisions based on real and factual data cannot be overstated. An undergraduate business education program must impart an equal mix of factual knowledge within certain functional areas with that of the appropriate theoretical and reasoning tools requisite to conduct one's self in an informed and authoritative manner in a given industry."

"Banking Concept of Education", 2002.
This paper is a review of the essay, "Banking Concept of Education," that was written by Paulo Freire that condemns contemporary education.

Abstract
This paper is an interpretation of Paulo Freire's essay, "Banking Concept of Education" and its limitation in society. The author points out that the banking concept of education assumes that the student is ignorant and that the teacher is the only one who has any knowledge so that the entire education process is flawed from the start because of this premise. The author argues that until there is a way to encourage a free flow, or dialogue between educator and student the problems in education will remain, even as new curricula are introduced.
From the Paper
"When we study the curriculum across the country, we realize that it is designed to integrate the experience a diverse population within the standard postsecondary curriculum. The courses have been revised and reformed to allow a more universal view of the environment. The curriculum is flexible and unbiased and thus, modern in its conception. Yet, the manner in which we teach it limits the effects of the design. Thus, how we teach is as important as what we teach. For many people, the word "pedagogy" signifies classroom techniques designed to transmit knowledge from teacher (and text) to students. Traditional pedagogics employ what Paulo Freire calls "the 'banking' concept of education," in which "knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing."(4)"

?The Banking Concept of Education?, 2004.
A review of the essay, ?The Banking Concept of Education?, by Paulo Freire.

Abstract
This paper examines "The Banking Concept of Education", an essay written by Paulo Freire, which explains how education is really a tool that is used continuously to oppress the poor. It explores how the banking concept of education is the idea that the teacher teaches, and the student learns from that teacher by utilizing the basic drills, memorization, and repetition. It also looks at how an adult can have the thinking process greatly enhanced by learning the basics, such as the alphabet, reading, eventually, and then writing, not necessarily in that order, and how, once those basics are learned, then the adult can use the combinations of those skills to perform more complex cognitive processes.
From the Paper
"The overall idea of the banking concept is that when a person like you or I are researching a topic in the library for example, the reason we can achieve this feat is because of the basics of education we have already been taught. For example, if we were to study China, we would need some understanding of reading, writing, geography, etc. The banking concept has worked well presenting those basics, at least for the affluent nations of the world. However, we may have chosen a different path had we not been taught those basics. If a homeless child in the ghettos of Rio needs to learn something, he will not be as prepared to utilize banking concepts because his immediate needs are different. Maslow has pointed out; I may be looking for food or shelter, not an alphabet in the homeless scenario."

Paulo Freire?s ?The ?Banking? Concept of Education?, 2004.
This paper discusses Paulo Freire?s book, ?The 'Banking' Concept of Education?, the classroom situation in which the student must only comprehend the thoughts of the teacher.

Abstract
This paper relates that Freire suggests that a method to counter ?banking? education is a ?problem-posing? education, or cooperative cognition. The paper states that, within the ?problem-posing? method, the authoritative power becomes useless; arguments that must be taken on faith become irrelevant. The author states that he does not support Freire?s position because he does not feel that he is being dehumanized in the lectures, nor are teachers his oppressors.
From the Paper
"The aspect of time deserves more attention in the discussion of the ?problem-posing? method. That which may seem quick and efficient in the short-term may prove to be tedious and sorely inefficient in the long-term. A teacher that expresses something she holds to be true to a group is quick and easy. It can be argued that more topics are addressed, but how much is retained by the receptacles of this quick and easy method? Letting the discovery occur naturally, will inherently take much longer with respect to time, but how much of this will be held in the continual cognition of the being? In addition, a method of examination would be equally or more difficult to create for this continuously changing knowledge acquisition. This increase in the expectations of the teacher might compensate for the lesser role in the class group setting. Nothing can be created in advance that will continue to be concrete over time."

Concepts in Education, 2005.
A brief overview of two different educational concepts - academic tracking and unit planning.
823 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The tracking approach places students in different classes, or different groups within existing classes, based on ability. This paper looks briefly at the history of this approach and how it is applied in today's classrooms. The paper then looks at the concept of unit planning - divided into collaborative and individual unit planning - and how the two compare.
From the Paper
"Individual unit planning, on the other hand, is based on one subject or topic at a time. It is a more passive approach to teaching, in that each instructor operates independently of other instructors. There is no collaboration to tie one subject to the next, or to tie in technology from the media specialists. While the individual unit may benefit from this type of technology, the experience is not built into the unit, but is available if the student chooses to use it outside the setting (Lambert, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper proposes a study to assess and compare two groups of administrators' perceptions of the philosophy of making schools more cost-effective by linking job performance with school objectives and goals. It examines how the comparison groups are a group of administrators working at schools in California and a group of administrators working at schools in Trinidad (West Indies).

From the Paper
"With respect to the foregoing, Douglass (2000) reports that the history of education in California is one that has strong ideological components rooted in both democracy and capitalism. On the other hand, in Trinidad, the history of school is very much linked to spiritual and religious ideologies and philosophies (see: Government of Trinidad and Tobago, 2000). It is possible that this difference in cultural background may make the notion of operating schools as a business one that is inherently more appealing to California administrators than to administrators working in Trinidad."

Abstract
This paper examines the benefits and disadvantages of inclusion programs from the point of view of the student as well as the teacher.
Inclusion means keeping special education students in regular classrooms and bringing the special support services to them. It discusses the affect it has on the children's education and on their parents. It details the types of schools where inclusion is more successful and where it is less successful. It discusses psychological and educational research done on this issue and presents its conclusions. It discusses several relevant education models such as: The itinerant model, used for certain categories of special education and the consultation model, when the teacher remains in one or two buildings with larger numbers of students to serve.
From the Paper
"In schools where collaboration was successfully implemented, the special needs children developed improved social skills, greater motivation to learn, and increased self-esteem. Positive peer relationships developed. In these situations, ?Collaboration brought complementary professional skills to planning, preparation, and delivery of classroom instruction? [Ripley, 1997]. ?The concepts of individualized instruction, multiple learning styles, team teaching, weekly evaluation, and detailed planning are all of direct benefit to students ?[Ripley, 1997] Middle Schools easily lend themselves to the principles of collaboration. Collaboration is an important process of general education of Middle School Students where interdisciplinary teams often share in planning [Hines, 2001]. Middle school structures can be used as a model for special education inclusion."

Physical Education vs. Educational Achievement, 2006.
This paper discusses the issue of physical education and its relationship to academic proficiency.

Abstract
This paper examines in-depth the correlation of a sedentary life style and poor academic achievement while stressing the need for implementing a more aggressive approach to physical and nutritional education in America's school systems which would result in greater academic performance. The writer also discusses how the current physical education programs in the nation's schools vary with the affluence of the neighborhoods.
From the Paper
"The problem with teaching nutrition, for example, lies in Inner city schools, where minorities and children from poor families come to get their one solid meal of the day. How do you teach "nutrition" to such deprived children? And, isn't it a fact that mal-nourished and under-nourished children do badly on exams simply because their bodies cannot keep up, and their attention-spans may be limited if by nothing else than hunger pangs. Over-eating, obese children also tend to have some learning problems, because their over-saturated digestive systems tend to make them logy. However, some elementary nutrition subjects must be taught, and they should be considered part of the Health/Physical Education curriculum."

Discrimination and Affirmative Action in Business, 2005.
This paper discusses the problem of discrimination and racism within the education system and with regards to the business world.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the standards of IQ testing that have distorted the idea of intelligence are not a basis for determining the cognitive genetic disposition of minorities. The writer notes that the problem of IQ testing seeks to diminish the issues surrounding ignorance, which essentially depict a class and cultural racism within a white hegemonic business and educational forum. Further, the writer discusses that through this stereotypically generated racial ignorance in testing results within an educational criterion, the minorities are at distinct advantage to become students in schools that will enable them to attain high paying positions within the corporate business world.
From the Paper
"This race study seeks to understand the premise of educational and social distribution, which reflects the need for stronger Affirmative Actions policy within the business world. By actively defining the issues surrounding IQ testing that degrade minority groups in class structures, the premise of discrimination becomes an issue of educational policy that limits minority participation in high paying managerial jobs. Also, the factors of discrimination through a social economic perspective, relates the problem of groups and limitations placed on minorities due to racism."

From the Paper
"When discussing the curricular area of the subjects to be taught in universities, scholars disagree whether or not religion should be considered a compulsory subject. The religious debate brought about numerous arguments in favor and against and even brought about new conflict situations. For instance, some scholars state that "schools should be nationalized and the curriculum changed to a national standard" (Wikipedia, Education in The United States, 2006)."
"Further more, scholars also disagree on the proposition of teaching all subjects in English, placing more emphasis on evolution and sex education. Some tutors believe that the subject they teach are being neglected and slowly begin to die. For example, "it has been reported that astronomy has not been taught enough in schools." (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Astronomy Education in the United States). "It has also been reported that geography is not taught enough is schools." (Geography About, Geographic Education and Public Policy)."
