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.
This may mean that the pupil will open up and could explain their feelings and emotions towards the subject of streaming, and the reasons why they ‘develop a negative image’. A few advantages of using unstructured interviews when studying the effects of steaming are that the informality of the interview allows the interviewer to gain the trust of the interviewee which is important in this example. Pupils at school will not feel comfortable explaining their time at school if the interviewer is very formal and makes them feel intimidated whereas by using an unstructured interview it allows the pupils
By requiring students to take a break from technology and lend a helping hand, they become better people because the student then realizes the importance of human interaction and how just a simple smile can brighten someone’s day. In this aspect, future participation is prominent. Stepping outside a comfort zone plays a tremendous role on finding one’s specific interests and true personality. Mandatory community service exposes students to certain experiences in which the student may discover a hidden talent or passion for. Often, students who perform community service in order to graduate consider it a chore, however that is not the case for John Prueter.
Giving students an opportunity to create every day will keep them engaged in learning, keep frustration at bay, and lead to happier, more fulfilled children. Also, art and music stress cooperation much more than math an reading do. Students can learn to work together, plan together, and create together in these classes, whereas in a math or reading class they may be competing, or simply not interacting at
Spending time going through the learning activities and seeing how children have responded to a certain task or question, can really help change it for future activities. It is also important to look back at the learning objects so you can measure what the children have learned. It is important to have clear objectives at the planning stage, in order to evaluate whether pupils have achieved them after the lesson. If children have rushed through the activity and then looked bored then it would be obvious that the task was a bit too easy and not really suitable or beneficial for that group. Therefore you would need to try and make it more engaging and stimulating, perhaps by making it more difficult or time-consuming so the students really have to work to complete it.
In my opinion, school itself doesn't make us smart, but it does give you the opportunity to become more knowledgable. In our generation,
Because of the granted acceptance that will follow if in a group or crowd, it is no wonder why most of today's students tend to be conformist The strength of desire to conform is a personality trait whereby some people will try to conform to whatever group they are in at the time, while other 'non-conformists' will go in the other direction, deliberately asserting their individuality by rejecting all but a very few sets of norms. Because school (especially middle school and high school) is a time for self discovery, a fair amount of students like the idea of living a non-conformist life style because it provides room for growth and try to follow their own route, but others are too set on being included into groups or specially liked by others. Often, an individual will conform to society to avert ridicule and jeers. Many people conform without even knowing, for example, the way an individual will dress when with friends. Conformity can be showed as: being on time most of the time, fulfilling academic requirements, generally keeping within bounds of accepted decorum, but sometimes social influence and pressure of others, affect the way people think, feel and behave and therefore, cause a deeper conformity.
They will not feel like they can talk to you which may mean they could be keeping something important inside, which could affect their learning or social skills. Having good communication skills will help us develop better relationships especially with younger people. Some students who lack in confidence may find it hard to communicate at all with us, so if we come across to that student in a positive and gentle manner they are more likely to open up to us and talk. We would not like to be spoken to in a negative way so therefore we should also be careful of how we speak to others. Communicating positively with adults is an important part in helping build a strong and trusting relationship with each other.
If students are interested in the classes they are taking and they feel like they can get something out of it, they will get better grades. This will make the university look better as a whole as students’ grade point averages begin to rise. Also the idea of minimal requirements gives students what is called elective flexibility. Electives are the classes that students get to choose what they take. For students who aren’t sure exactly what they want to do, they can take a variety of classes so that maybe they can find something they are interested 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.
