( Tameka Carter- Richardson, DePaul university and Wendell Philips academy High school) .Conducted a areseach "Exploring Intellectual Emancipation: The Participation of low income Black Students in Education Travel." when she chose these student as a sample in her study, they were able to contribute with money for the trip because they were eager to see other places. So they did it and the result was very good .Students learnt how to collaborate, share information, team work ,and other good experiences that they were not familiar with before, so when they came back parents realized a great changes in their children. and the students themselves were very happy. So there is a question moving in my mind I want to post it you my colleagues, that back in South Sudan we have the same issue family with low income, insecurity and so on, but as teachers, what can we do to motivate the students in a similar way? how can we break the gap of low income and change the minds of the families, even if with a sample activities?.

Midwest Conference of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) October 10-11,2014
It was a great experience for me to attend this conference. I learnt more information and see how researcher are presenting their papers, and responding to the comments. Only that some of them were too fast, I attended different session and came out with a good observation that draw my attention.

Nura, what great questions! Would you recommend traveling to your students? Did the researchers give any reason for why travel improved students skills? Do you think simply traveling to a different State in South Sudan might provide students with different ideas and similar skills or will students need to travel internationally?
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful and well stated!

This is a great research Nora and i think we can start this within the different states of south Sudan because its better to try than do nothing we have good boarding schools in some states, so we can send our students there to associate with other ethnic groups to build peace among themselves.
ReplyDeleteIt what such a great experience for me as well to attend that conference, and of course it was not easy for us to capture all the information in each session, but at list we've come out with something new. and as you mention it, yes collaboration among students will teach them the spirit of solidarity and team building which will add more to their skills and knowledge.
ReplyDeletepresentation was so new to us, I had on idea on what is going to be presented ,at last I really appreciated it was one of the ways of learning, sharing different ideas, with students from different universities. collaboration is very good it help us solve problems easily through combined effort.
