The contributions of this research to Chinese women/gender studies and education are multi-fold. Theoretically, a synthesized theory on the Socialist View of Gender Equity has been proposed, which connects Chinese socialism with global feminism. The alternative theory on the Developmental Model of Gender Sensitivity for better gender understanding and communication as well as the gender mainstreaming model for higher education system are breakthroughs in gender and education. As for curriculum innovation and discipline development, the suggestion for integrating gender perspective into the mainstream moral citizenship education can be an effective way to develop interdisciplinary women/gender studies offering a lens of social equity in general education for Chinese college students.
Like the other courses, the general teaching textbook of this course can only be
designed and written by the Ministry of Education ... The local educational
sections can compile related textbooks as optional teaching materials for local
use only.
The second goal, the analysis of task influence, involves an investigation of the interaction between proficiency level and task complexity, i.e., how learners of different proficiencies respond differentially to pedagogic tasks depending on the cognitive demands of the tasks. For this purpose, oral performances elicited by a (dynamic) narrative and a (static) picture description task are compared.

Youth education in public gardens is becoming an important option to increase community outreach and educational opportunities, and to develop a future audience for public horticulture. It is often perceived that this education is primarily focused at the elementary level but some secondary horticulture education exists as well. FFA is a national leadership organization for agricultural education students and is comprised of approximately 500,000 members. The FFA has remained relevant and strong among educational standards that continue to evolve in a dynamic industry. This research explored the degree of mutual awareness of public horticulture and the National FFA Organization, and the possible benefits of collaboration.
Provide agriculture teachers personal and program-related contact information
for public horticulture organizations. • Develop educational materials that will
expose students to a broader range of career opportunities within public
horticulture.

The results of a two-level HLM analysis of achievement in reading and mathematics at first grade and third grade showed that there were statistically significant variations between classes and in the growth rate between the grades. The effects of the DACRP itself showed no statistically significant effects on young students' learning trajectories. However, when examining the interaction effects with predictors, mediating effects were shown. The study's results suggest that future research should be done to develop effective instruments to examine the effect of DACRP on students' learning; these could include improved research designs and advanced analytic methods.
In other words, half of the items for the cluster, "materials and environmental
adequacy" in kindergarten teachers' DACRP were distributed non- normally.

This result of this study was surprising in that it appeared to contradict the literature on academic freedom. The findings suggested that there was no significant difference between faculty perspectives about academic freedom theory and practice in the university classroom.
Keith (1997) found that most college professors understand academic freedom to
include the right to teach their subjects, choose textbooks and other course materials, and pursue truth and share their views within their discipline free from

School history textbooks play an important role in teaching students about their national identity. Historical narratives presented in the textbooks incorporate conceptions of who people are and how they are linked to particular locations. However, these narratives are never static. They are constantly changing to take into account shifting interpretations of how the "nation" is affected by politics, cultural, social changes, economic circumstances and the nation's relationships to the world at large. This thesis explores these changes in the portrayal of "Europe" in history textbooks of 1956-58, 1975-78, 1996 and 2005 as a way of demonstrating the changing conceptions of Turkey's official self-understandings as represented in these textbooks.
What this might mean is well illustrated in the work of the Educational Materials
