Yayın God, man, and nature: life for reason and the reason behind the universe - a panentheistic approach to life of pi(De Gruyter, 2021-11-08) Edman, Timuçin Buğra; Gözen, HacerThis article intends to lay out a comparative study of Karma philosophy and literature scrutinizing Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi through a panentheistic approach. Because Karma is one of the predominant philosophies in the novel and permeates the general atmosphere, this article intends to scrutinize Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi through a panentheistic approach. Although karma is a very complex issue, since anyone committing evil acts can claim to be a mere agent of karma delivering punishment to others for sins they committed in their past lives, it is true that according to karma, our actions have consequences which affect the entirety of our lives, and this can also be seen as free will. Yet while this approach tends to focus on the action and reaction mechanisms of life, the flow of life in the universe should still be carefully contemplated, since if we believe the first story, Pi's survival not only depends on his choices, but also on the opportunities that the universe offers him. In that sense, if we are to accept God as the soul of the universe, then the universal spirit must be omnipresent and omnipotent while also capable of transforming into anything in terms of s panentheistic approach. Thus God, being greater than the universe, is the ultimate force that balances everything, and is also the biggest karma controller. For this reason, this article analyzes Life of Pi from both inductive and deductive slants to demonstrate that all roads lead to God, the omniscient.Yayın Moving forward with an eye on the past: a historical perspective of teacher research(IGI Global, 2017) Bush, Jerome CharlesTeacher research has become a well-known term in professional development circles, yet it is still often misunderstood. This chapter seeks to facilitate those who are interested in teacher research by providing a historical perspective. Understanding the development of teacher research over that past century will allow interested parties to move forward with greater insight of the potential benefits and drawbacks inherent in teacher research. Such an analysis may lead to increased success for teacher research projects as the twenty-first century unfolds. Although teacher research can be a challenging form of professional development, it has incredible transformative potential. It has the potential to enhance the entire profession of teaching as well as the knowledge, skills and abilities of individual teachers. A call is made for teachers and academics to move forward by forming an alliance to explore new models and methods of teacher research.Yayın The recurrence of an Indian dream, Magic Seeds(Cyprus International University, 2021) Edman, Timuçin Buğra; Boynukara, Hasan; Gözen, HacerMagic Seeds is a work of fiction, but it also serves as a reflection of the real world, the history of India, where value judgments in a society return to their starting point only by reforming in accordance with the reconstruction of a given society. Willie, who is in search of identity and a home, finds the remedy in joining the guerrilla order. However, here, he fights through the shadow of the past, which he can never escape. The shadow of the past is the hierarchy itself, and this article explores the never-ending transformation of hierarchy, anarchism, and the search for order through the novel Magic Seeds. This article is a comparative study of the novel Magic Seeds, and history, the Naxalite movement in India from the 1960s until the early 2000s. Through the historical revolutionary Naxalite movement and a political association of the Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of India in West Bengal in 1960s, this study also reveals why an anarchic movement apparently returns to its starting point, and legs behind the decolonization or reconstruction of a society due to the deep-rooted and pre-structured hierarchy in a society by considering the terms humanization, dehumanization, hierarchy, cast system, anarchism, transformation and reconstruction.Yayın Quality assurance and foreign language programme evaluation(Springer International Publishing AG, 2017) Staub, Donald FrancisThe global higher education market is changing quickly as increasing numbers of institutions are entering the playing field. Higher education is no longer solely the province of universities funded by governments. The result of this present condition is that higher education institutions are seeking ways to distance themselves from their competitors. Many are doing so by offering English-medium instruction, which often entails the establishment of an EFL programme for all incoming students who will eventually study in the University's English-medium programmes. These EFL programmes are increasingly under pressure to demonstrate their value to external and internal stakeholders. Thus, quality assurance and evaluation are becoming critical activities for EFL programmes wishing to demonstrate their worth. This paper examines the design and implementation of a quality assurance initiative at an English-medium university in Istanbul, Turkey. Qualitative and quantitative data is used to evidence the success and challenges of establishing this effort.Yayın The moodle tools for language teaching and learning with an interactive approach paper(IATED-INT Assoc Technology Education & Development, 2013-03-06) Şakar, AsımThe use of Moodle has been recently getting more and more popular in the world of ELT, and language teachers are discovering that Moodle has a larger potential and greater power compared to other online learning environments. Moodle can be part of a curriculum with a blended learning approach in which actual classroom tasks and activities could continue in an online environment. It can support language teachers and students not only as a place to share information but also as a social environment where they can interact in a variety of settings. The aim of this paper is to present Moodle tools that language teachers can exploit in their online teaching to foster interactive learning.Yayın Developing andsSustaining outcomes assessment in english as a foreign language programs(Springer International Publishing AG, 2017) Staub, Donald FrancisEducational organizations are charged with one critical task: effectively and efficiently ensuring student learning. Traditionally, the determining factor for whether educational institutions had imparted knowledge on their students was simply to count the number of graduates. English as a Foreign Language (EFL) programs have followed this tradition, equating quality with numbers of successful program completers. Over the past two decades, the so-called accountability movement has put increasing pressure on schools to demonstrate quality by evidencing student learning through the assessment of learning outcomes. EFL programs are increasingly being asked to develop and implement learning outcomes assessment programs. To do so, however, can be arduous, and, if not approached thoughtfully, can lead to failure. This chapter explores the principles and practices that are generally believed to be must-haves for successful outcomes assessment programs. This is followed by a discussion of common pitfalls that lead to failure of such initiatives. Finally, the chapter proposes that EFL program leaders who are embarking upon an outcomes assessment process consider the Distributed Leadership model as a means for increasing the probability of success and sustainability of their outcomes assessment initiative.
