Stop the Pity,Unlock the Potential: The Role of Non-Governmental Organizations in Disability Services: Evaluating and Monitoring Progress

ABSTRACT

The aim of this qualitative study is to evaluate the role of non-governmental organisations in disabilities services. The study group comprised of nine representatives of each of these NGOs. Data obtained by semi-structured interviews were analysed by using the content analysis method on RQDA qualitative data analysis software. Voice of disabled people is represented through non-profit organisations. In enhancing capacity for development, considering the scope of disability (physical, social barriers), societal attitudes, and religious factors’ impact on society attitudes on persons with disabilities that disabled people are sick and helpless and need to be looked after and medical models that consider disabled people as sick patients trying to recover seem to be important. Content analysis was done to evaluate service capacity of Profession NGOs for the disability. This research study revealed that Profession type of non-governmental organisations need awareness on disability. They need in-service training to understand practices for disabled people. Integration of self-help projects, networking mechanism are essential for the development. The method of Sensitivity Training which is one of the most emphasised organisational development techniques comes forward. Expression of this education with the concept of sensitivity comes from recognising and understanding the behaviour of individuals.     

Why some teachers easily learn to use a new virtual learning environment: a technology acceptance perspective

After a decade of virtual learning environments (VLEs) in higher education, many teachers still use only a minimum of its affordances. This study looked at how academic staff interacted with a new and unknown VLE in order to understand how technology acceptance and support materials influence (perceived and actual) task performance. In an experimental design, 36 participants were split into a control (online help) and experimental (instructor video) condition and completed five common teaching tasks in a new VLE. In contrast to most technology acceptance model research, this study found that perceived usefulness of the VLE was not related to (perceived) task performance. Perceived ease of use was related to intentions and actual behaviour in the VLE. Furthermore, no significant difference was found between the two conditions, although the experimental condition led to a (marginal) increase in time to complete the tasks.

古汉语判断句的活用

古汉语教材普遍把因果复句中表示原因的非名词性谓语句称判断句的活用，认为判断句活用的标准首选要根据判断的本质特征，－谓语性质是名词性的，其次须参考判断句的表现形式和逻辑关系。     

马克思的社会有机体论与社会发展标准

马克思的社会有机体理论认为社会是由人的实践所引起的各种因素相互制约有机联系的整体。它揭示出人是社会的主体,社会发展的标准就是使社会有机体良性运行,马克思的社会有机体理论深化了唯物史观关于社会发展标准理论,并为落实科学发展观奠定了理论基础。     

教育信息化是实现义务教育优质、均衡发展的必由之路

经济的发展可以推动社会进步,但不能摆脱社会贫富不均、社会矛盾激化的困境。只有促进义务教育均衡发展,使社会全体成员都尽可能享受到优质教育才有可能解决这个问题。当前国内外义务教育均衡发展的理论与实践主要是从＂教育机会均等＂角度,通过加大资金投入改善办学条件、提高学科成绩测试标准并建立绩效责任机制、实施教育专项计划或重大工程等举措,实现教育的均衡发展。教育信息化的基本内涵和特性,使它在提升教育质量、实现义务教育均衡发展方面具有很大的潜在优越性,但要有信息化教学创新理论才能使这种优越性真正发挥出来。＂基础教育跨越式发展创新试验研究＂项目的10年实施经验证明,在信息化教学创新理论指引下,教育信息化确实可以提升薄弱校（特别是农村校）义务教育阶段各学科的教学质量与学生的综合素质,从而促进义务教育优质、均衡发展,使教育公平的目标落到实处。     

企业大学的发展定位与价值实现——以中国电信学院为例
