There are a number of strengths and limitations of using unstructured interviews to study pupil subcultures. Pupils may be in articulate or reluctant to talk, so unstructured interviews give them time and space along with encouragement to work out their responses. However, younger pupils have a shorter attention span so they may find long unstructured interviews too demanding as they can be quite time consuming. They can take several hours each and pupils are restrained to their timetable. There is also the need for training and the interviewer needs to have a background into education increasing the cost.
Due to the nature of working in teams, children can sometimes find that they are not working effectively, which negatively impacts on their learning, and their ability to progress. Children are grouped in several ways, e.g. in ability groups, in nurture groups, SEN groups and in EAL groups. The children are also encouraged to join after school clubs, e.g. art or cooking club, which would help them to form relationships with others of the same age and across the year groups.
This could make the child feel anxious and apprehensive about meeting their new teacher, if they are in high school they may also be feeling anxious and worried about their new timetable and getting used to it. They may find the new work that they have to do a bit daunting and feel like they would not manage and the work is too hard for them. The child may also feel very happy and very grown up as they are getting a bit older and be able to do more difficult things
TDA 2.13 1.1 Describe the school policy for displays The placement where I work doesn’t essentially have a policy for the displays that they have up around school. Although displays are very important for the way our school looks, there is no specific ways to put them up, what you can put up and how you can put them up. Our displays around the school are mainly made up of children’s work. We have a few which are informative, especially in the Key Stage 2 area where they are beginning to understand the ways of the world and the differences in the way people react and say things. 1.2 Describe the importance and purposes of displays in the school School displays are there so visitors and parents who come into the school can see what their child has been doing through the course of a term.
“The hidden curriculum” also prepares the students for the future world of work as school mirrors the workplace through hierarchical structures – teachers give orders to the students and students obey them. To conclude, education does have a huge impact on integrating individuals into society’s shared culture, but it’s not the main function of it. Education also prepares students for the world of work through the “hidden curriculum” and
Students need to be focused, and this focus drives them to succeed. Many students, due to different circumstances, lose their focus. This can always be disastrous for their well-being as well as their future. An on-site daycare at colleges will also reduce the number of students missing class or absenteeism. Class attendance facilitates learning in a variety of ways.
In a typical school day you are required to perform a wide variety of tasks. In order to be a successful student you will need to be very well organised in all areas of your work. Although it may seem an obvious area, the efficient organisation of books and equipment is vital. The student who does not bring the right books to class or forgets a calculator for Mathematics, for example, is less likely to get as much from a lesson as the student who always brings what is needed and organises his/her material in an efficient way. While some subjects provide exercise books for you to work in, others may require you to use a file.
I feel if you don’t understand the point of something, what is the point of learning? Children weren’t explained anything! All they did was copy what the teacher would write and that’s all they needed to know. In working-class schools you would do as told with no questions asked. Middle-class schools focused around finding and then explaining how something was right.
Children are really missing their enjoyment. Nowadays schools are mainly concentrating in studies and bring out 100% result. And the pressure upon students is much on their studies with much special classes and tuitions. They don't know the life of other extracurricular activities like sports, swimming, drawing, etc. Still there are some schools which have these also as one of the subjects and make them to improve their talents in all ways.
Society thrives on the philosophy of allowing children to do what they want when they want. When in reality these students are often are acting up or failing grades to get attention from parents and mentors. Neo-Scholasticism allows students to become internally motivated. Students who have internal as well as external motivation to finish school will be less likely to drop out of school. While, factors such as constant absentness, unwanted behaviors, and low grades influence drop-out rates, school that have stricter guidelines and repercussions for the factors might make students think twice about their actions.
