The mediating role of globalization on the increase in the gap between university curricula and employment needs.
The use of mixed research methods, the third research paradigm, is important in the evaluation of specific variables and their mediating roles in various scenarios (Johnson et al.,2007).Triangulation is therefore used in searching of the same phenomenon (Denzin,1978,p.291).Our choice of triangulation is informed by its many benefits (Sieber
(1973).Mixed research methods involve the focus on research questions that demands for a real life contextual understanding, cultural influences and multi-level perspectives. The process would involve the use of quantitative research in assessing the magnitude as well as frequency of constructs followed by a rigorous qualitative research aimed at further exploration of the meaning as well as understanding of the constructs. In this regard I must use for this research, an explicit and diverse position which is both philosophical and true. Using mixed research techniques, the mediating role...

For countries such as the U.S. And France, these needs can be reasonably expected to relate to the respective national cultures involved. For instance, in their book, Education in France, Corbett and Moon (1996) report, "An education system needs to justify itself constantly by reference to the values which underpin a nation's culture. In a democracy it is expected to transmit a range of intellectual, aesthetic and moral values
patterns of physical activity and exercise indicates that there has been an overall trend of decreasing physical activity levels and increasing levels of inactivity among adolescents and adults (Gordon-Larsen, McMurray, & Popkin, 1999; Van Der Horst, Paw, Twisk, & Van Mechelen, 2007). Inactivity and poor diet are responsible a large number of deaths annually and could soon become one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. Research
In this regard, the instructor's individual characteristics should be secondary to the readiness of the instructor to recognize individual learning strengths and needs in the students. Diversity: Diversity is often taken as a term which refers particularly to difference in race, ethnicity, gender, religion or sexual orientation, to name just a few categories of cultural distinction. And indeed, it does refer to this within the context of education. However, there is
" (Zemsky, 1) Null Hypothesis The null hypothesis of the research endeavor is that online professors will report no perceptible connection between post-tenure review and job performance. Alternate Hypothesis The alternate hypothesis of the research endeavor is that online professors will report that post-tenure review improves job performance. Nature of the Study Significance of the Study The significance of the proposed research is based in the need for greater study of online instruction in higher education with
