There are current issues in the education field that are a problem and concern. The brain research in the cognitive process can help educators improve teaching and learning on these issues, which include the distressed learner and students in poverty, homelessness and hunger. Stress can be both good and bad. Good stress referred as eustress occurs in short burst that only last for a short time, when being moderately challenged, one may rise to the occasion. This type of stress releases chemicals such as cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine that will escalate our motivation, and strengthen the body.
For example, the most effective method would be, to respect the students and their feelings before they can respect you. Dr. Michaels stated that, “You will gain respect by knowing the emotional, physical, and psychological place of your students. “Show that you care.” This all leads back to students wanting to know that their teacher not only cares about their education but them as an individual. As an after school instructor, I have dealt with many cases where a students didn’t feel like they had to show me respect right off the bat. Which is something that I can understand, because children don’t really comprehend the importance of respect or manners, its something that has to be taught to them.
Time-outs can be effective, particularly with small children, when they are applied appropriately. However, if time-outs are misused, then they might lead to feelings of abandonment and unworthiness, blind obedience, and a lack of self-control. Moreover, according to the class notes, children are curious and have a drive to learn, and learning is intrinsically rewarding for them. In order to facilitate this learning and avoid punishment, we should try to create conditions that impede unwanted behaviors. It is important to note that if children feel that they are being manipulated or controlled by the rewards, their behavior will likely not change effectively.
Conflicted: incompatible goals or choices, difficulty with decision-making, and approach and avoidance conflicts. xxvii. Endangered: life threatening, resource insufficiency. i. The three basic components of anxious and emotional responding are physiological, cognitive, and
In other words, describe some of the symptoms of stress. Stress can affect people in many different ways either psychologically, emotionally, physically or with behavioural signs (usually with a mix of a few) .Each individual will react differently too. Some will feel they can’t “cope” with the slightest bit of pressure while others could “cope” very well to a lot some even thrive on pressure. When we feel stressed it can leave us with many symptoms and affect our mood (mood swings). We can get frustrated, angry and at times be extra sensitive to criticism which can make us become very defensive.
As it says in Item A, a subculture is a group of pupils who share similar values and attitudes. Some subcultures are pro-school, while some are anti-school. An unstructured interview is when the interviewer has freedom to vary the questions they ask. There are a number of strengths and weaknesses of using unstructured interviews to interview children, and they will be examined below. Unstructured interviews allow the interviewer to build rapport with the pupils, unlike questionnaires where there is no chance to build rapport because the researcher has limited contact with the pupils.
Firstly, overt observation is when the researcher would make all the pupils aware that they are being studied and makes sure they give their permission before the observation takes place. This makes their research ethical, however observer effect can occur which is where the truants may behave differently because they are being observed, giving unreliable results. The other type of participant observation is covert studies. This means the truants wouldn’t know they were being watched, so they are more likely to behave like they normally would, giving valid results, however this raises ethical concerns such as the right to withdraw and deception. A strength of participant observation when investigating truancy from school is results are usually valid compared with getting the students to fill out a questionnaire about truanting when there is no real way of telling if they are giving accurate answers.
makes differences between pupils they can follow this attitude and so the children that are discriminated may lose their confidence in their self and in others as well, and may develop inferiority complexes. It is a big responsibility for teachers and TAs to help children understand that each of them is special and unique but in the same time they are equal and they have to show respect to each other for their uniqueness. So it is important to promote an anti-discriminatory practice in working with children as this may affect their character. For the staff which is directly involved in teaching it is important to be conscious that their words are important however the example they give may sometimes be stronger than words.
We can refer reliability as being a consistency, stabile and dependable of a results or measurement we got or obtain from an assessment task. In other words as McMillan (2004) stated that it is a result that shows similar performance at different times. When we take into account factors that contribute to the students work not been reliable, we can assume it may be factors such as the health of the child, the general ability of the children and motivation of the child. When marking the recount of the children's work there were many reliable observation that i made that could have affected how reliable my marking was. For instance being aware of my personal bias when it comes to going over a child recount.
