Recommended: Traditional action research

As Barbara Angus gives an account of her experience as an action researcher, she clearly shares the triumphs and defeats educators may encounter in the classroom. After reading the article, I particularly want to address the following research question: How can educators support students by introducing them to various sources that can address their inquiries as learners? This question sparked my curiosity when I read that Angus encouraged the children to learn more about the golden retriever that visited their class on a weekly basis while pregnant. Although I commend Angus for providing the emails the breeder sent her, I wonder how her students could become more independent in their investigation. Rather than strictly directing the students’

  • Analysis Of Molly Worthen's Lecture Me Really?

    910 Words  | 2 Pages

    In her article, “Lecture Me. Really”, Molly Worthen addresses the issue college students know all too well: how to lecture properly. Published in the New York Times, Worthen writes a passionate article about lecturing but from the perspective of a professor. Worthen presents the idea that lecturing, although some may think ineffective in the classroom, is a way to truly challenge and engage students into critically thinking. Worth dictates this idea with an excellent build up logical argument but lacks the proper evidence to support her claims creating a faulty argument.

  • Bob Dorough Dogs Analysis

    1203 Words  | 3 Pages

    When listening to ‘Dog’ by Bob Dorough from the album ‘Jazz Canto – Volume 1’ before listening to the track ‘Ella Guru’ from Trout Mask Replica, there are a number of comparisons to be drawn, specifically with the lyrics and vocal delivery. More than anything, it’s the fast cadence and playful style, when Dorough delivers lines such as “The dog trots freely in the street, and what he sees is reality, and the things he sees are bigger than himself, and the things he sees are his reality”, in many ways, Dorough is describing an otherwise quite complex idea with words that are as simple as they can possibly be, while at the same time it could’ve been described in less words, though had it been, a lot of the poetry of it would’ve been lost. Beefheart’s style is similar in ‘Ella Guru’ where – before the first chorus – he sings “She do what she mean

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Bells Hooks's Teaching To Transgress

    1618 Words  | 4 Pages

    In her article entitled Teaching to Transgress, Bells Hooks effectively speaks to her readers by using the rhetorical strategy of personal narrative, argumentation, and exemplification, in order to call for a “renewal” (29) of teaching method called “engaged pedagogy” (35). By this Hooks means teachers should not merely call on students to participate in class discussion, but also call themselves to be “vulnerable” (49), taking the risk of coupling their points of view, or “confessional narratives” (49), with that of their students, defusing an image of an “all-knowing” (49) teaching authority as a result. Though Hooks’s theory is clear, and her methods of argumentation and exemplification introduce her pedagogical theory, her method of personal narrative requires that the reader be able to relate to her daunting experiences. As a result, readers who have had different experiences to those of Hooks’s might miss her point because they cannot relate to her.

  • The Importance of Purebred Dogs by Babette Haggerty

    1176 Words  | 3 Pages

    Take a moment and picture a dog in your head. What do you see? You may see many different things depending on your own personal encounters with the species. There are many types of dogs out there. Some small, some large, long-haired or short-haired. There are many variances in what a dog can look like. One thing that does not change, or should not change, is the importance for every dog in this world to be given love and affection, no matter its characteristics. This is what leads me to believe that the obsession with producing and owning purebreds needs to come to a halt. Continuing to create these so-called “best dogs” is dangerous to not only the purebred’s health, but also devalues mixed breeds and can cost them their lives in animal shelters where they may never escape. My interest in this topic caused me to look into seeing what other people felt about it.

  • Text From Dog Analysis

    1523 Words  | 4 Pages

    One particular internet trend in the last few years, Texts From Dog, humorously captures the relationship between a human and their dog, as well as the imagined inner workings of the lovable furball’s mind. Much like the character Doug, in the Pixar film Up, the dog/dogs of Text From Dog is easily excited, if not a little feistier. The comical adventures chronicled in the Texts From Dog series range from every day delights, like being fed, to the woes of having to wear a cone or finding out that their owner is cheating on them and has been petting other dogs. While entirely fictional solely for entertainment purposes, Texts From Dog helps to illustrate that the bond between a pet and it’s owner is something special. For a pet owner, there are

  • The Controversy of Animal Testing: An Examination

    742 Words  | 2 Pages

    Kristin found out that Bea was from a laboratory and decided to give her a loving home. In the first years of Bea’s life she was mute, pathologically fearful, and terrorized from the trauma she experienced for the laboratories. She even shook when someone approached her, and rolled over and urinated every time a man was around. When Kristin would take Bea to the vet she would shake uncontrollably with fear. This just goes to show how the trauma from these animal laboratories effects the animals. Luckily, from the love and care from Kristin Bea transformed into a healthy dog without fear of her new owners or veterinarians. This story shows that these animals need love, attention, and care that they are clearly not getting at the laboratories. (Williams, and

  • Analysis Of Pedagogy Of The Oppressed By Paulo Freire

    923 Words  | 2 Pages

    Freire states “Freedom is acquired by conquest, not by gift. It must be pursued constantly and responsibly” (Freire, 2000, p. 47). Therefore; students must be aware of their oppression and fight for their freedom and autonomy in the school system. Freire also suggests a method of education that will help solve this issue: problem-posing education. The dynamic concept of problem-posing education integrates both teachers and students role’s to create a unified teaching process in which the teacher teaches the student, and the student teaches the teacher. This process “reinvents” knowledge, and teaches the student critical thinking. Instead of knowledge being deposited to students, problem-posing education presents information to students but allows them to draw their own conclusions and form their own, unique
