Learning Styles and Preparing for Reports


In the next class we will discuss different theories about how we learn. We will also have some time to brainstorm about the topics you want to do for the written report (due December 14th). In the comments, please tell us 2 topics that you might want to do for the paper. Please be specific about your topics. For example, if you want to write about a school case study, please tell us exactly which school. Or if you're thinking about researching "discipline," tell us what aspect of it you will write about (i.e. teacher effectiveness training, corporal punishment, etc).
If you have any questions please email me!

  1. I haven't decided the topic for the paper, but I want to research on the effects of punishments for students, especially how different punishments effect differently.

  2. I will choose the topic of Studying abroad or Out of school education. Because I am an international student, I have full realization of studying abroad, and also there are many students around me who have been abroad, from them I can do a survey. While on the topic of Out of school education, I want to write something about the learning website on internet.

  10. I'd like to write about school case study or studying abroad.
    For school case study, I want to research a Japanese elementary school, Ogawa elementary school because there are manny special systems which can't be seen in any other schools in Japan.
    About studying abroad, I want to study the Finnish education, which is the education of world's attention.

  15. I want to write about Akita international University, the same as Hatake, sorry:(
    Although the university locates in the country, many studenets are attracted to them. And as Hatake says, all the students get job after graduating. It is so interesting point.
    Secondary, I want to write about discipline although it is difficult problem today.

  16. I'd like to write about the German Schoool Tokyo Yokohama, where lessons are held whole time in German. I have some friends who used to go there. and I'm just interested in how the days go there. Or, the Kanagawa prefectual Yokohama International high school of International Studies sounds also interesting.
    I just found out that that school and TUFS have got connection since this year.
    I'll choose one of them for my paper work.

  17. I'd like to write about bilingual education in Japan or investigate Professor Mitra's experiments further.
    I am not sure if I can find a certain school to write about on bilingual education, but I will be able to write about it in general. For Professor Mitra's experiments, I would like to research either The Hole in the Wall Experiment or The Kalikuppam Experiment more in detail.

  18. I want to write about Meitokugijuku high school or Ken Robinson.
    My friend, who is half Japanese half Turkish and now lives in Turkey, may go to Meitokugijuku, because his father thinks it’s very good for students who come from abroad, and his father told (even) me its advantages so many times, so I think I can write about the advantages of Mietoku.
    I’ve seen the videos of Ken Robinson, who is a famous educator and talked about the future education in TED and I was very interested in them, so I wanna investigate him.

  19. I'm thinking to write about discipline in early education. Especially, I'd like to investigate corporal punishment. Corporal punishment has been controversial issue for the past several years all over the world. I'll survey why this issue attracts many people's attention and what are the good or bad points.
    Secondly, I'd like to investigate school case study. I don't have any good idea about it at present, but this theme has a lot of interesting elements.

  23. I want to write about Out of School Education.
    I'm interested in the school for the students who can't feel suitable for their ordinary schools. For example, it is called 'Free School'and 'Tsushinsei High School'.
