This treatise investigated mathematical word problems (MWPs) and their implementation in Foundation Phase classrooms. Factors influencing the implementation of MWPs, with specific reference to the teachers and learners involved, emerged. Direct and indirect factors influencing the implementation of MWPs were acknowledged. Student teachers‟ reflections on classroom practices experienced during their teaching practice training period for their initial teaching qualification inspired me as lecturer to embark on my own journey of inquiry and study the phenomenon above. As this study was undertaken in South Africa, the need arose to take into consideration the changes that have occurred since 1994. Observations of how democratic values and desires feature, or do not feature, when engaging with the phenomenon had to be considered. This study also aimed to emphasise inequalities in everyday practice. The discovery of “good practice” (Cooper 2010:170) contributed towards addressing the factors that emerged as influencing the implementation of MWPs. Jansens (2009:170) book Knowledge in the blood presents compelling reasons for disclosing the state of current practice and seeks alternatives to promote the required change in mathematics teaching, with one of the perspectives on mathematics education being the emphasis on implementing MWPs in the Foundation Phase. Teachers often extend their own preferences into practice and emphasise their “knowledge in the blood” as their view of good practice. Learners‟ needs and learner diversity are often overlooked. Learners‟ assessment scores, both nationally and internationally, have revealed more negative facts. These low scores have often been, and often still are, news flashes, contributing to a negative view of teachers and education. In order to address the widespread sentiment that there is “no hope for teachers” (Jansen 2011:19), and to avoid a recycling of negativity, “good practice” (Cooper 2010:170) is key to success. This study aimed to discover hope for teachers and learners.

Issues discussed in this document include: the special education services available in Malaysia; views by critical constituencies of special education and its future prospects in Malaysia; teacher training programs for special educators; special education programs in selected other countries; three proposed special education programs for the National University of Malaysia; the feasibility of establishing the proposed programs; and, plans for implementing the special education programs. Using a qualitative approach a sample of thirty-one people including parents, educators, professionals, administrators and the public were interviewed in order to explore the current situation of the special populations, teacher training for special educators and educational provisions for special populations in Malaysia. Participants agreed that not all special needs children are being helped; that only certain groups or categories of special needs children are served in Malaysian schools; that more special education provisions must be provided; that more special educators should be trained for the Malaysian schools; that the Specialist Teachers' Training Institute is the only teacher training college for training special educators; that no Malaysian universities are directly involved in undergraduate degree programs for special education personnel; and, that special education is not just for children with specific disabilities but for the entire gamut of children having special needs. The participants viewed the proposed special education programs by the National University of Malaysia as timely. They also believed that training programs should not be confined to teachers but offered also to administrators, school inspectors, supervisors and parents. This survey Malaysia on the constituencies curriculum for and analysis of special education in basis of the expressed enabled the researcher the Special Education views of important to propose a Programs at the National University of Malaysia. / 2031-01-01

For many years scholars, educators, and internationally minded social workers have tried to find a common denominator of understanding for the many varied languages and customs of the earth. While most of these efforts have failed, there has been one area in which all men, regardless of race, culture, or creed have found a noticeable degree of unity. That area is music. Music of' some form is evidenced in all cultures and there has been a tremendous amount of interchanging and adaptation of the music of one culture to another. / Typescript. / "August, 1952." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music Education." / Advisor: W.
