The research contributes to the conversation regarding kindergarten teachers’ knowledge about developmentally assessments practices in attaining curriculum goals of selected kindergartens classrooms within the Ghanaian settings. The mixed method research approach was employed. Quantitative data were gathered from 1,413 teachers using questionnaires, while qualitative data were collected from 10 participants who were interviewed and observed. The participants for the quantitative research were randomly selected from ten districts in the Central Region of Ghana. The data were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. However, the participants for the qualitative research were purposely sampled. The qualitative data were analysed through open and axial coding. The study revealed that KG teachers were achieving curriculum goals and were using developmentally appropriate assessment procedures. They were however, not conversant with some of the curriculum goals and emerging assessment practices. It was also evident that there is a positive relationship between KG teachers’ achievement of the goals and the use of assessment procedures. It was recommended among others that through orientation and training sessions, KG teachers should be given insights into KG curriculum goals and diverse authentic assessment procedures to enhance and promote children’s development in varied ways.

In Ethiopia, since the advent of Orthodox Christianity in the 4 th A.D century religious education, including writing as part of its curriculum as well as Qur'anic education has been given by Islamic educational institutions, particularly among communities inhabiting the eastern and western parts of the country and Oromo Gada system as well (Seyoum Teffera, 2005). In 1908, the first modern school was opened bearing the name of Menelik II. The school first opened its door to about one hundred children of the aristocracy, so as to set a good example for the general community (Seyoum Teffera, 2005:1; Bekeke, 1991; Aweke Shishigu, 2015). Moreover, education is a powerful instrument that unlocks the door to prosperity of a nation. It is one of the main keys to the development and the improvement of mankind.

Natural language is highly ambiguous, i.e. linguistic ambiguity is very common at every level --phonological, lexical, pragmatic and syntactic. This is true of both English and Chinese. Being two widely different languages, English and Chinese possess distinctive grammatical features. This article explores ambiguity from the perspective of grammatical differences between Chinese and English, and identifies the interesting finding that a syntactically ambiguous expression in one language may be perspicuous when put in the other; in other words, syntactic ambiguity in one language may be avoided when expressed in the other.

As online learning gains more popularity and reputability in 21st century learning environments, learners and educators alike need to adapt to the growing need to participate in a variety of learning projects, including online learning. A derivative of self-directed learning, online learning has replaced the project based notion of independent learning and created educational situations that rely on highly interactive and cooperative styles of learning (Karakas & Manisaligil, 2012). Colorado & Erberle (2010) define online learning as textual, graphic, audio and video representations of the World Wide Web forming components of learning. As opposed to traditionally static forms of independent learning, online learning establishes dynamic and transactional educational environments that recognize a framework that is individual and, at the same time, social (Garrison, 2011). With that, this type of highly individualized yet collaborative learning introduces a new set of complexities and concerns for teaching and learning (Colorado & Eberle, 2010; Plews, 2016).

Postsecondary education is both a defining characteristic of the United States and vital to the economic prospects of many individuals (Brint & Karabel, 2014). Postsecondary education and training will be required for 65% of jobs in the United States by 2020, an increase from 28% in 1973 (Carnevale, Smith, & Strohl, 2013). Community colleges provide an opportunity for students who may not have other avenues available to build skills or receive academic remediation, such as first generation students and students from lower socio-economic backgrounds (Brint & Karabel, 2014). Upon degree or certificate completion, students enrolled in community colleges may obtain positions requiring specialized skills, including the healthcare and automotive fields (Dougherty, 2014). Earning prospects for students rise by 13% for males and 22% for females upon completion of an associate’s degree (Belfield & Bailey, 2014). Students who attend community colleges and do not obtain a credential increase their earning power by 9% for males and 10% for females (Belfield & Bailey, 2014). When analyzing the characteristics of students who enroll in community college, the background of community college students need to be examined, including reasons for enrollment. Approximately 45% of all undergraduate students enroll in community colleges in the United States to develop skills and gain knowledge (American Association of Community Colleges, 2016). The goals for which students enroll in community colleges include obtaining an associate’s degree, transferring to a university, or completing a certificate program (Center for Community College Student Engagement [CCCSE], 2012).

Technology Education has been defined in several ways by different scholars to suit the purpose they desire to accomplish. Some scholars defined it from the perspective in which its various school-subject components are taught, while others defined it from the way it is practiced in the field. However, the Nigerian National Policy on Education defines Technology Education as those aspects of educational processes involving the study of technologies and related sciences and the acquisition of practical skills, attitudes, understanding, and knowledge relating to occupations in various sectors of the economic and social life (Federal Republic of Nigeria [FRN], 2013). Immaculate (2005) sees Technology Education as experiences meant to be impacted on an individual systematically in order to get him/her adequately equipped for employment in a recognized occupation. Technology Education programmes therefore, are those programmes designed to enable individuals acquires requisite employment skills to enable him or her function effectively in teaching, industrial establishments, or even as self-employed.
