Book Synopsis Introduction to Bahamas by : Gilad James, PhD
Download or read book Introduction to Bahamas written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bahamas is a country located in the North Atlantic Ocean, consisting of more than 700 islands and cays in the Lucayan Archipelago. It is known for its clear turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and abundant marine life, making it a popular vacation destination for tourists. The country's capital, Nassau, is located on the island of New Providence and is home to the majority of the country's population. The Bahamas has a rich history, dating back to the pre-Columbian era with indigenous tribes inhabiting the islands. The islands were later discovered by European explorers and were claimed by the Spanish Empire. Over the centuries, the islands were ruled by various colonial powers, including the British and the French, before finally gaining independence in 1973. The country has a diverse culture influenced by its history and its proximity to the United States. The official language is English, and the majority of the population practices Christianity.
Book Synopsis Bahamian Students' Experiences with Mathematics in American Universities and Colleges by : Nikki Rochelle Cleare
Download or read book Bahamian Students' Experiences with Mathematics in American Universities and Colleges written by Nikki Rochelle Cleare and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This longitudinal, qualitative, multi-case study examines the mathematical experiences of three Bahamian students pursuing science degrees in American universities and its relationship to their previous mathematical experiences in their Bahamian high schools. Drawing on cultural psychology and sociocultural theories of learning, this study found that the relationship between the academic preparedness of the participants on their experiences with collegiate mathematics is not limited to subject content only. The lessons learnt from the implied curriculum also play a role in their experiences with collegiate mathematics. Of the three participants, two have had to learn/develop techniques for studying because they had not been sufficiently challenged in their previous environments to do so. Each of the cases also highlights some powerful constructs needed for success in mathematics and at least two emphasize making connections between concepts, procedures, manipulatives/tools and multiple approaches when solving problems. This study contributes to an emerging area of research on student persistence in college-level mathematics courses as well as to the ongoing discussions in mathematics education regarding the role/importance of conceptual understanding and how to promote it. The study makes visible some of the ways in which students' post-secondary experiences with mathematics are shaped by their perception of their mathematical preparation, thus providing a basis for discussions of possible curricular change in the Bahamas. It also suggests that issues such as confidence and school/teacher expectations of students may play a role in the development of conceptual understanding.
Book Synopsis The Education Systems of the Americas by : Sieglinde Jornitz
Download or read book The Education Systems of the Americas written by Sieglinde Jornitz and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook focuses on and compares the education systems in the three Americas: North, Central and South America, and includes a chapter on most countries in the region. The chapters follow a common structure and include schematic diagrams of the structure of mainstream education from pre-primary to tertiary level. Each chapter starts with a description of the historical and social foundations of the education system from the post-World War II period up to today, including political, economic and cultural contexts and conditions. By highlighting important dates and structural decisions, the current education system can be understood as resulting from past developments. The first part ends with a description of the transitions to the labour market that are offered, and the way in which these are organized in the education system described. The second part consists of an overview of the institutional and organizational principles as well as the structure of education from pre-primary to tertiary level. It includes a focus on legislative bases and financial provisions for the education system and a description of the structure by using the ISCED-classification. It further includes information of the supply of human resources such as teachers and other educators. The third and final part of the handbook discusses selected educational trends and aspects. In this context, three topics are of particular interest: dealing with inequality, ICT and digitization activities, and STEM-related policies and programmes.
Book Synopsis The Bahamas in the 21st Century by : Nikolaos Karagiannis & Olivia C. Saund
Download or read book The Bahamas in the 21st Century written by Nikolaos Karagiannis & Olivia C. Saund and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economies in the Caribbean and all over the world are grappling with the consequences of globalisation and the accompanying changes in the rules of international trade, including loss of preferential markets and erosion of preferences. This has resulted in increasing global competition for traditional products from these economies, a situation compounded by rising energy costs and accompanying negative social ills such as unemployment, rising criminality, health and educational challenges, and the like. Besides, many of these economies are facing a serious threat from climate change and the accompanying environmental problems. What are realistic socio-economic development options for The Bahamas, given the policy space now available to its government? In this era of neoliberal globalisation, however, we would find that there has been little of worth contributed to the concrete task of working out thorough strategies and consistent policies (i.e., the local response) for coping with these socio-economic problems in The Bahamas. Indeed, it is surprising how little attention has been paid to developing rational strategies and policies aimed at providing a planning frame to deal with the multi-dimensional problems of the Bahamian underdevelopment. The edited volume The Bahamas in the 21st Century seeks to answer questions like these and to offer concrete policy recommendations while engaging scholars, policy makers, professionals, students, and all persons interested in the burning issues associated with this theme.
Book Synopsis The Handbook on Caribbean Education by : Eleanor J. Blair
Download or read book The Handbook on Caribbean Education written by Eleanor J. Blair and published by IAP. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together leading scholars of Caribbean education from around the world. Schooling continues to hold a special place both as a means to achieve social mobility and as a mechanism for supporting the economy of Caribbean nations. In this book, the Caribbean includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles. The Greater Antilles is made up of the five larger islands (and six countries) of the northern Caribbean, including the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. The Lesser Antilles includes the Windward and Leeward Islands which are inclusive of Barbados, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago along with several other islands. Each chapter provides a unique perspective on the various social and cultural issues that define Caribbean education and schooling. The Handbook on Caribbean Education fills a void in the literature and documents the important research being done throughout the Caribbean. Creating a space where Caribbean voices are a part of “international” discussions about 21st century global matters and concerns is an important contribution of this work.

Book Synopsis The African Diaspora to the Bahamas by : Keith L. Tinker
Download or read book The African Diaspora to the Bahamas written by Keith L. Tinker and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current historiography on aspects of Bahamian history presents limited research on the African presence in the islands, irrespective of the fact that arguably 85% of the population of that country is represented by such persons. One primary objective of this book is to begin to more adequately address this literary ommission by presenting an initial comprehensive work on the subject. The book attempts to trace the origin of this migration by focusing on some of the primary dynamics of ethnicity within the context of the geo-politics and geo-economics of the emerging Atlantic world. It is hoped that the reader will emerge with a greater awareness of, and wider insight into Bahamian history, and, the Bahamian majority will leave with a greater sense of what it truly means to be a Bahamian....

Book Synopsis A History of the Bahamian People by : Michael Craton
Download or read book A History of the Bahamian People written by Michael Craton and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work concludes the important and monumental undertaking of Islanders in the Stream: A History of the Bahamian People, creating the most thorough and comprehensive history yet written of a Caribbean country and its people. In the first volume Michael Craton and Gail Saunders traced the developments of a unique archipelagic nation from aboriginal times to the period just before emancipation. This long-awaited second volume offers a description and interpretation of the social developments of the Bahamas in the years from 1830 to the present. Volume Two divides this period into three chronological sections, dealing first with adjustments to emancipation by former masters and former slaves between 1834 and 1900, followed by a study of the slow process of modernization between 1900 and 1973 that combines a systematic study of the stimulus of social change, a candid examination of current problems, and a penetrating but sympathetic analysis of what makes the Bahamas and Bahamians distinctive in the world. This work is an eminent product of the New Social History, intended for Bahamians, others interested in the Bahamas, and scholars alike. It skillfully interweaves generalizations and regional comparisons with particular examples, drawn from travelers' accounts, autobiographies, private letters, and the imaginative reconstruction of official dispatches and newspaper reports. Lavishly illustrated with contemporary photographs and original maps, it stands as a model for forthcoming histories of similar small ex-colonial nations in the region.

Book Synopsis Urban Bahamian Creole by : Stephanie Hackert
Download or read book Urban Bahamian Creole written by Stephanie Hackert and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004-07-29 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, a detailed empirical study of the creole English spoken in the Bahamian capital, Nassau, contributes to our understanding of both urban creoles and tense-aspect marking in creoles. The first part traces the development of a creole in the Bahamas via socio-demographic data and outlines its current status and functions vis-à-vis the standard in politics, the media, and education. The linguistic chapters combine typological and variationist methods to describe exhaustively a comprehensive grammatical subsystem, past temporal reference, offering a discourse-based approach to such controversial categories as the preverbal past marker. The quantitative analysis of variable past inflection, finally, tests not only well-known constraints, such as stativity or social class, but also ethnographically determined ones, such as narrative type. Its results are relevant not only to the study of Caribbean English-lexifier creoles and related varieties, such as African American English, but also to variation and change in urban dialects generally.
