Item ދިވެހި ބަހާ މެދު ދިވެހި ޒުވާނުންގެ ވިސްނުން ހުރީ ކިހިނެއްތޯ(Postgraduate Research Centre, MNU, 2014-06-01) AbdulRaheem, Ismail Habeeb; އިސްމާއީލް ހަބީބު ޢަބްދުއްރަހީމްThe aim of this research is to understand how Maldivian youth view Dhivehi language. This research used a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods. A survey questionnaire was administered to 200 youth under 35 years. In addition, focus group interviews were used to obtain in-depth perceptions. The questions used explore the usage of Dhivehi and external influences on the language, importance given and the general attitudes of youth towards Dhivehi. The findings show that the usage of Dhivehi is declining with more people opting to use English. Some of the identified factors influencing this change were economy and trade, local policies on language use and globalization. It is recommended that changes need to be brought out in education policies to promote Dhivehi language. In addition, local policies on language use need to be strengthened and the use of Dhivehi language needs to be promoted, especially using today’s technological advances.Item ދިވެހިރާއްޖޭގައި ދުރުންދޭ ތަޢުލީމުގެ ތަޖްރިބާ : މައްސަލަތަކާއި ކާމިޔާބުތައް(Postgraduate Research Centre, MNU, 2013-06-01) AbdulRaheem, Ismail Habeeb; އިސްމާއީލް ހަބީބު ޢަބްދުއްރަހީމްThe purpose of this study has been to examine the achievements and challenges of several distance mode courses run by two State-funded institutions in the Maldives in the opinion of students, tutors and other course administrators. Thirty-seven students studying or have studied one of the courses offered by the institutions and 24 course administrators were interviwed face-to-face or by telephone and other means to find out their perceptions of factors of success and shortcomings of the courses. As shortcomings students noted: (1) transport issues, (2) communication difficulties and (3) lack of trained tutors and administrators among others.Over 70% of the students were, however, satisfied by the course experience. Students as well as course administrators noted that once the constraints are addressed this mode of education holds great promise for the Maldives. A limitation of the study was that the data were collected in 2009 and since then a Moodle-based course management systems is in place for one institution and the courses offered have greatly improved.
