Everything academic revolves around the year-end state testing to the point that other subjects are usually neglected. Reading, math and writing are the main thrusts of schools, and are obviously important. However, critics state that children are not receiving well-rounded educations because of the emphasis on these subjects
“The institutions traditionally procure, provide and control the technology for learning but now students are acquiring their own personal technologies for learning and institutions are challenged to keep pace” (Research in Technology Learning, 2010). Computers and other technical devices that are being used to enhance student learning helps to make teaching more creative and effective; however, it has also caused a lot of confusion and chaos in regards to ethics. Once teachers only had to be concerned about the basic rules of classroom etiquette and they could govern their classroom visually. Now teachers have to implement rules and guidelines to ensure that technology in the classroom is being used for its intended purpose to protect students from lurking dangers that might not always be detected by human
Misbehavior is less likely to recur if a student makes a commitment to avoid the action and to engage in more desirable alternative behaviors.”(Kizlik, 2012). I believe that I have a more to learn about classroom management and policy, especially dealing with punishment and consequences. The use of praise in my classroom management style might be good. In the use and way I praise students matched the use of best practices of more seasoned professionals. I have linked praised with student performance and instruction.
There would be far fewer discipline problems and behaviors requiring corrections and discipline if the student’s basic needs are being met within the classroom. Particularly with more challenging students, it is helpful to find what the student is getting from the misbehaving, that is, which goals or functions are being met when misbehaving and help the student meet their for appropriate rather than inappropriate behaviors. These are the students that need attention and interventions. To get in touch with and educate these students effectively educators need to be trained in appropriate instructional and structured strategies in order to implement modifications and accommodations for these students. Classroom teachers are not expected to know which are the best strategies and techniques to try or what are recommended practices for addressing the needs of our diverse learners without
That is when I realized that he wasn’t necessarily a “bad” student he was just a young child who needed motivation and someone who would just care. That is the meaning that I found within Dr. Michaels statement. How does a classroom teacher garner respect? There are many methods that a teacher can use in order to gain their students respect. For example, the most effective method would be, to respect the students and their feelings before they can respect you.
Despite the benefits teachers and schools obtain, standardized testing like the FCAT is not effective in evaluating student’s performance because not all students learn at the same level, they fall under pressure, and they are being taught just for the test which prevents from learning skills that are yet to be learned. Admittedly, the FCAT brings benefits to
Based on the recent ubiquity of standardized tests, it is clear that schools have promoted the former more than the latter. This push for conformity has been detrimental to students, who have suffered because of the lack of outlets to develop and express their individuality and creativity. Conformity in and of itself is not harmful to students. In fact, if applied correctly, it can be very helpful to their development. Some conformity — things like basic rules and an organized classroom — is helpful to students because it creates an environment conducive to
There are two main types of experiments: laboratory and field experiments, both of which have advantages and disadvantages. Sociologists rarely use lab experiments, however, because they are concerned with physical things rather than social issues such as education. As Item A mentions research has found that teachers sometimes label pupils unfairly which can affect pupil’s self-esteem, and as a result, educational results. This process is known as labelling. One practical advantage of using experiments in a school would be that if using a field experiment which has the advantage of being more natural than a lab experiment, the teachers might act naturally towards the pupil as they wouldn’t know what was happening.
“Despite the limitations of this study, the preliminary finding that participating in the HAP helped the children to decrease their emotional reactivity is convergent with previous qualitative research findings that found that the HAP was beneficial for children in need (Coholic, Eys, & Lougheed, 2012, p.833)”. There were indications that arts-based and mindfulness-based methods for children in need are beneficial in a variety of ways. Research showed that individuals who took part in the arts-based sessions did appear to perceive a greater sense of “mastery post-control exercise”. “While not supported statistically in the present study, future research may want to consider whether these contrasting approaches (i.e., conventional arts-based vs. mindfulness-based arts/crafts) tackle different aspects of resiliency and self-concept perceptions (Coholic, Eys, & Lougheed, 2012, p.844)”. Research showed that it is reasonable to suggest that the preliminary findings are promising enough to support continued study in this area.
Science, increased the chances of receiving information literacy skills training and decreased the perceptions of having information literacy deficiencies”. Some of the science students believed that librarians lack the subject expertise to assist them with finding relevant information to their specific research topic, and therefore should not play a significant role in doctoral studies. In general, however, students in the sample agreed that involving information professionals more directly in the dissertation research process is an effective way to help students develop information literacy skills. Each of the studies described above were conducted with primary data. The above search indicate that all aspect of human life need information literacy
