According to Tassoni (2007, p.286) “A stereotype is a fixed image of a group of people”. In the early years setting you should not stereotype children by what race they are or what background they come from. You should always treat them equally. Being a good communicator shows empathy. This means trying to understand someone else point of view rather than judging.
On the other hand, the society lacks its true values, which are variables and various ideas from individuals. Therefore, in order to prevent our society from evolving in to the one in Brave New World. Teachers should pay enough attention to each student and encourage students to think
At this age we need to remember to comfort the child if they become upset and be someone they can speak to if they choose too, it is important we do not shout at children as this could cause them more upset and distress. Also we should be lively and energetic and enjoy taking part in activities they enjoy and provide new challenges for them. Primary schools- During this age it is important to listen to the children however the teaching assistant must make eye contact, lower themselves to the child’s level and speak to the child in a positive way. Children will start to learn boundaries during this time so it is about enforcing them in a positive and encouraging way. Encouragement is also important during all aspects of school life such as during lessons, their work, forming friendships and finding new things because this will help the children to try new things and to progress and move forward with their development and education.
By achieving these goals they give themselves, they are learning the process of setting up their own goals and becoming more knowledgeable. This should be taught to children all over the world because it will help them to grow into a functioning member of society which is why it is important for all cultures to practice this common goal. Children will overall feel more accomplished and efficient. Some cultures may emphasize some goals making them dominant then others for example some will focus more on education and technology but all cultures practice this common goal because no matter what culture, race or religion that you are part of this is one skill all people should develop while growing up. It is needed in order for the child to reach their full potential and become healthy adults.
In True Learning, an excerpt from Holt’s The Underachieving Schools book, he is consistent with his belief that public schools often teach kids how to be lazy and how they will only remember the information that interests them, and nothing else. According to the reading, the public school systems take away one’s true ability to learn and that it is best to learn the ways of life by experience, not from a classroom. “Education is something a person gets for himself, not that which someone else gives or does to him” (True Learning). Although Holt make’s valid points about the differences in which children learn, he has no actual facts or
However, there were a few children whom were dissatisfied with telling the time, this is also knows as cognitive conflict, as stated in Piaget’s theory. Piaget believed that children should not be hurried through learning as this would have a negative effect. So I made sure that I didn’t rush any of the kids. “Piaget referred to children at play as ‘active participants’ in their own learning’ he believed that children use their first-hand and previous experiences to learn” (Marian Beaver et el, Child Care and Education, 2008, page 54) Piaget thought that children made assumptions based on experiences – he called these schemas. This influenced my planning of theoretical perspectives on aspects of practice.
Student learning and interest should drive the curriculum." As English (2010, p. 123) aptly writes,“Children are not the means to obtain better test scores. Rather, children are the ends of what education is about in the first place. And since tests can never completely measure them or their learning (or their inherent worth, ever), test scores should be viewed with great humility, deep skepticism, and sustained temporality.” Curriculum should matter as the future of our world grows up to become responsible leaders who are ready to take their place as functioning and productive members of society. It is only befitting and just that we educators and administrators provide them a curriculum that is tailor- made to meet their needs into the 21st century (Udelhofen, 2005).
If students are told what is right and what is wrong, they learn to accept these facts and in this type of education, they learn not to ask why. This type of learning would affect our future because the students build a mentality to not challenge things that are wrong or things that are overlooked by the public. The type of teaching where it is through memorization and recitation does not benefit students
Praise and Punishment: The Effects on Children -Jessica Broome We cannot teach children how to be successful adults by simply finding ways to make them obedient. When children do what they are told simply because they will either be rewarded or punished, they are being “obedient”. We want children to practice good behavior even when we are not there to offer a reward or dole out a punishment. As suggested by “insufficient punishment”, children will only change their behavior temporarily when the punishment is severe. This is also true of rewards.
Hence, to inculcate the completeness of any teaching, a person should be trained to accept both positive and negative aspects of his work with equal priority. To teach is not to educate a person academically. Teaching calls for over all development of a person as a human being, physically, spiritually, morally, socially and emotionally. Praising a person and ignoring his faults will only result in an incomplete growth. An uncouth but academically brilliant child will not be perceived well by peers.
