As pupils may lose interest in lessons, it may cause problem for forthcoming activities you may break down activities that need doing and explain things rather than children losing interest from learning. Another example to control behaviour in your classroom is to set up an rewards system for children as this will encourage them to earn rewards and be recognised for their good deeds. Another skill that supports work with children is commitment and enabling yourself to work well in a team. To work with children, you must have a passion and be prepared to commit yourself to children and their work in order to help them learn and succeed. As working with children will not be easy in aspects of planning, teaching etc.
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.
This is so the practitioner can act on the advice and put it onto the planning. This advice can have more experience in different aspects of the child’s life. This then helps with the care and learning needs of all children as if the child has a disability which affects their learning. The teacher will have to get another professional in that knows what they are doing to help care for the child and help with the child’s learning. This means that the child will be getting a full learning experience and understand the lesson because it is easier for them.
I was surprised that my blind spot was identified to be overconfidence in process because I rarely feel confident in anything. My values were described to be justice and fortitude and resultant behaviors are that I demonstrate courage and steadiness in the face of obstacles and I tend to avoid rash actions. My ethical lens directs my academic behavior by giving me good reasoning skills and allowing me to think through problems carefully and research all options. My ethical lens influences my critical thinking because it allows me to make informed decisions that I find are best for the well-being of everyone around me. I believe that a person’s emotions can influence critical thinking because some people’s ethical lens is more heartfelt and can let them make decisions with their emotions instead of with their knowledge and brain.
This is important in children to build their creativity and language skills by learning how to get their ideas across to others. In the work setting it is also very important to share ideas and thoughts, perhaps about a new activity or a way to tackle a challenging child. Good communication is essential in order in work effectively with small children and parents. Without communication it would be impossible to meet the needs of not only the children we would be caring for but also the parents who put their trust in you to take care of their most precious gift of all. Having good communication skills helps us to build strong relationships with not only the children we would be caring for but also the parents and colleagues.
In addition, I get pleasure from being able to sustain a satisfying relationship. Self-Actualizing is definitely me. I have always tried to have an energetic and exciting approach to life. In addition, I am always trying to better myself though my relationships with my coworker and friends. I believe I am able to bring change and improvement to myself and other by being me.
If the child is attempting to explain their work to you, then you must take your time in listening to them because if you begin to interrupt, then this may cause the child to become aggravated and frustrated. Learn to be patient and listen to them until they have finished telling you what they want to tell you. Another important attribute is always give a smile when you see a child. If you show the child that you are friendly and approachable, then you will instantly create a good relationship with the child, which can then be built on. If you appear angry and unfriendly, then the child will try to avoid any contact with you or will just stay quiet when you ask them a question.
Actively taking part in shaping ones sense of reality due to their past and past experiences. Other factors that affect our present reality include our educational standard, our socio economic status; happenings within the home environment (both emotional and relational); and everyday interactions with our peers which will subsequently affect our behaviors and the way that we perceive the happenings of life. These factors shape our perception because of their deep capacity to emotionally enhance or detract from our experience. Positive and negative reinforcement governs a lot of our ‘learned behaviors’. We take on board that which we are readily immersed in.
Different people prefer different styles of learning. I think both learning by myself and learning with a teacher could be helpful. Learning with a teacher can prevent one from being confused and increase the rate and speed of learning. Another important point is that for practical subjects you have to have a teacher. On the other hand, sometimes I would rather learning on my own.
We all start out as children learning from out parents/guardians about the ways of life. A parent can affect their children in a positive or negative way depending on the parenting style used, environment they choose to raise their children in, and the other influences the child is allowed to be around to learn from. Although, some children no matter what types of a negative or positive learning environment they are in can do the totally opposite. For example a young child that grows up with an abusive parent, bad neighborhood, and negative group of friends can choose a totally different path for themselves and end up with a positive outcome in the end. The outcome of the child’s future can be positive or negative, depending on the individual’s choice to either use their childhood experiences as their path in life or to use these experiences as examples to learn from in their future.
