The Book of Dhaka

A City in Short Fiction

Dhaka may be one of the most densely populated cities in the world - noisy, grid-locked, short on public amenities, and blighted with sprawling slums - but, as these stories show, it is also one of the most colourful and chaotically joyful places you could possibly call home. Slum kids and film stars, day-dreaming rich boys, gangsters and former freedom fighters all rub shoulders in these streets, often with Dhaka's famous rickshaws ferrying them to and fro across cultural, economic and ethnic divides. Just like Dhaka itself, these stories thrive on the rich interplay between folk culture and high art; they both cherish and lampoon the city's great tradition of political protest, and they pay tribute to a nation that was borne out of a love of language, one language in particular, Bangla (from which all these stories have been translated).

What Affect Does Teacher Attire Have on Student Perceptions in the Classroom?

The purpose of this case study was to determine what kinds of perceptions high school students have of their teachers based on what their teachers wear to class. The researcher sought to determine if teacher attire might positively or negatively affect a high school students' in-class experience. After developing a multiple-choice and written response questionnaire, the researcher had the questionnaires distributed to high school students and the analyzed the results for trends and patterns. The researcher's purpose was to better understand a high school student's perspective on teacher attire, and if the results might suggest a need for change in what teachers wear for class. Findings of the case study are particular to high schools, though they may provide insight into the perceptions of students of all ages. One main research question was addressed along with three sub-questions that supported the researcher's basic intent. The main research problem sought to understand how student perceptions of a teacher, in a population of high school students from ages fourteen through eighteen, are affected by teacher attire in the classroom. The three research questions posed are the following: Does the attire worn by a teacher have any measurable impact on student behavior or attitude? What specific perceptions do students have of a teacher based on what they wear? Is there a specific kind of teacher attire that con elicit greater student participation in comparison to other kinds? The researcher analyzed the results provided by a sample of 282 completed questionnaires. It was found that a teacher's choice in attire does hold the potential to affect a high school student's attitude toward them in the classroom, and possibly their behavior as a consequence. Students demonstrated that there are, in fact, specific perceptions formed based on what a teacher wears including ideas about how fun they see the teacher as, how much they believe a teacher respects them as a student, and others. The research demonstrated that high school students generally prefer their teachers to wear a more casual, or "business casual", type of attire and that they show very little preference for "professional" attire. The data results are discussed in detail, illustrated through graphic figures, and analyzed for greater implications and meaning by the researcher.
