Tertiary education

Tertiary education, also referred to as third stage, third level, and post-secondary education, is the educational level following the completion of a school providing a secondary education. Higher education is taken to include undergraduate and postgraduate education, while vocational education and training beyond secondary education is known as further education in the United Kingdom, or continuing education in the United States.

Colleges, universities and polytechnics are the main institutions that provide tertiary education (sometimes known collectively as tertiary institutions). Tertiary education generally culminates in the receipt of certificates, diplomas, or academic degrees.

University students who undergo their first years in tertiary education face new challenges as university life is a learning environment where independent study is central to education. Interaction between the students and lecturers is limited. In tertiary education, analytical skills take precedence over the ability to memorize. Hence, for a successful academic result, students must strive hard and utilize all possible resources. This includes writing down all the major points from lectures and taking advantage of all available materials – using the supportive mediums provided by institutions such as online lecture notes and PowerPoint presentations.^[1]

Obese teachers create sedentary students

I just got back from the National Convention for the National Association for Education of Young Children, held in Chicago. It was an awesome experience – 17,000 creative people who care about the future of our kids. I presented a session entitled, “Physical Literacy – Building Smart, Healthy Kids” and I had an incredibly positive response to this new message. You see, the answer to our problem of inactivity in kids isn’t “exercise”. Exercise is an outgrowth of physical literacy the way that reading is an outgrowth of academic literacy. We need to tackle the core of our inactivity problem, which is teaching kids the skills they need to be physically active – things like motor skills, coordination, agility, balance, spatial awareness, etc. Learning a comprehensive set of physical skills won’t happen by accident, any more than academic learning happens by accident. It needs to be planned and purposeful. Our national education motto is “no child left behind”, but we are leaving children behind in physical development every day! How sad that the bodies they live in will become a burden instead of a joy. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. We can do something to change it – we’re not helpless, and we need to do something besides just wringing our hands over the obesity epidemic in kids.

One thing I became very concerned about at the national conference, was the number of obese people teaching our young children. I was absolutely shocked at the percentage of overweight and obese people walking by our Gymtrix booth (Gymtrix is a DVD series designed to teach young children physical literacy skills). For the most part, the overweight and obese teachers walked passively by our Gymtrix booth, uninterested in a tool to teach physical skills to kids. But, we had many “fit” teachers who stopped, very excited about finally having a way to teach their students to be physically active. These teachers knew the joy and benefit of physical activity in their own lives and wanted to learn how to share it with their students.

Now, if an overweight or obese teacher has no physical activity in their own life, how can they be effective as a role model and educator to teach young children the importance of an active lifestyle? Would we expect academically illiterate people to teach our children to read? The answer is obvious. Yet, we are leaving our children behind physically, and then whining because they are couch potatoes and overweight. HELLO! Wake up everybody! Choose your preschool and day care carefully. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education has recently released national physical activity standards for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. In a recent study, NONE of the preschools and daycares studied met the minimum standards for physical activity!   Studies now show that one in five preschool children are already obese. This is a call to action and an appeal to educators, parents and administrators. Please quit talking about the problem and do something about it!!!

Biggest Job Search Hurdles in Education

Most job seekers today in the education sector are more organized in their job search and are better prepared when it comes to discussing specific topics related to teaching skills or other related expertise in education management. The bigger question lies on whether or not the applicant knows all the job search hurdles that may affect them when looking for a job in education. There are plenty of unspoken job search related issues that can pose a great hurdle for those looking for employment opportunities in the education sector.

For starters, you need to look at some of the more obvious reasons why employers eliminate applicants from the hiring process. A good example of this is arriving late for a scheduled interview. This is a big no-no because this will definitely not help to enhance your image in front of the person conducting the interview. When they say be on time, be on time and do not arrive too early or too late. But this is just a superficial example because there are far more fatal mistakes you can commit in your job search which can result in the forfeiture of your opportunity for a job interview.

One of the biggest job search hurdles in the education sector is poor resume preparation. There are various formats for creating a resume, but most applicants commit the most basic mistake of giving out resumes that do not state specific job responsibilities or expectations from previous employment. On the whole, employers certainly want to see a detailed resume filled with important information that can give employers a basic impression of the capacity and working capability of the applicant.

Another job search hurdle for applicants in the education sector is poorpreparation for a job interview. You must understand that in order to impress a potential employer you need more than just a professional appearance. When you show up for your scheduled job interview, you need to be prepared. This means that before you go, you need to conduct your own background research with regards to the employment needs of the school and other specific information which can help employers understand that you are a knowledgeable individual always prepared to answer relevant questions.

But above all else, the biggest hurdle for job seekers in the education sector is their work experience. More often than not, learning institutions that look for a teaching staff, or someone in the management level, require someone with enough relevant experience. To avoid frustration, only send your application to a school where you can meet the imposed employment requirements. If you are highly interested in a particular institution and you want to pursue your application, make sure you are prepared to defend your lack of experience and how to compensate it with your personal skills and core values.

Discipline in Student Life

Discipline is an important virtue. Life without discipline is just like a ship without a rudder. It is necessary for expressing other virtues. It is absolutely essential for success in life. Discipline refers to orderliness in life which results from our adherence to certain code of conduct prepared by the learned people. It also implies our respect to physical and moral laws in our society.

Without discipline, it is very difficult to lead a happy life in society. There will be indiscipline and chaos if we try to live in our own way. Both, individual and society will be in jeopardy.

We observe discipline in nature. The earth and the moon revolve around the sun in a disciplined way. As a result, night and day recur after twelve hours. We experience the cycle of seasons on the earth. Our physical existence is possible only due to a great discipline in the external nature. We grow when all the limbs and the respective capacity of different organs of our body grow in a disciplined way.

Discipline can be applied in all walks of life. It is essential for us at home, for students in school and college, for players in play ground, for soldiers in battlefield. A factory with a team of disciplined workers and engineers will run smoothly and yield profit.

Discipline plays an important role in building a nation. It has good impact on the child’s mind too. He passes through discipline since his childhood, becomes a civilized citizen in future. He leads a decent life.

A team of experienced players often lose the match because of indiscipline in the team. A horrible battle can be won by a disciplined army.

Discipline is very important in a student’s life. He must obey his teachers. He must abide by the rules in school. If he violates them, he suffers a great deal in his future. A disciplined student can achieve success. Similarly, a teacher without discipline in his life cannot be an ideal teacher.

Self-discipline is very important. Spiritual persons practice it to attain the liberty of soul. Self-discipline lies in restraining our unruly desires and ugly     impulses.

Thus, discipline is essential everywhere for all.
