Why Does It Happen? Obviously, the more you worry about your results, the more anxious you will be about taking examinations and tests. If you feel confident that you’ve studied hard and learned the coursework, you will not feel as insecure and frightened when you sit down to write an exam. But some people who are excellent students also suffer from the fear of tests. They worry that the questions presented to them may be different than the things they studied.
The intensity of such classroom disruptions depends on the teacher’s reaction to them, though dealing with those disturbances may not be as important as the teacher’s accurate classroom management as an essential preventive measure. So the question is: What can teachers expect and how can they effectively handle discipline problems? This paper explores the problem of classroom disruptions and offers a solution for those on the basis of an appropriate example: Paul is frequently entering class late and as soon as he is in there he’s making a show of his delay. During the lesson he is always more interested in his cell phone and texting than in the lesson itself. Also he is used to distract other students by talking to them.
High school relationships can easily have a positive and negative effect on the success of students. Friends can help each other with school work or they can distract and slow each other down, it depends on the student’s personality. It would be very difficult to be a high school student if you had a negative attitude towards school, because you would not be dedicated enough to complete homework, or to hand assignments in on time. A lack of sleep and nutrition makes it difficult for students to function fully during class, to succeed you must be wide awake and ready for each class. Extra-curricular activities are a good way for students to get even more involved with school, and usually give students a positive reputation.
Project 2 1. Identify your goal (i.e. describe the behaviour or situation you wish you change). I would like to change my attitude for the better I can sometimes take on too many tasks and get stressed out trying to rush around trying to get everything done before a certain time. When I come into work sometimes a lot of stuff is missing or not put away in the right place or just not cleaned properly that is something I would like to change.
The stress response can be a good thing sometimes as it can help one rise to meet challenges and sharpen their concentration, for myself I find that it drives me to study for an exam when I would rather be watching television or out with my friends. The majority of causes of stress that an individual faces on a day-to-day basis are not as extreme as life events. Daily hassles are minor irritations such as misplacing car keys, petty arguments and work deadlines. Major life events do not occur everyday but daily hassles do and if they occur regularly it can become a problem. Beyond a certain point stress can stop being helpful and can cause major damage to ones health; mentally, physically and socially.
In war, there is no time to think so a set task can help prevent deaths and mistakes. It also helps newer recruits know what to do when they need to. Authoritarian leadership is useful when working with time restraints and deadlines. These leaders often keep their team motivated which allows jobs to be finished quickly and effectively and allows the best equipped to be making decisions. However, it may lead staff to feel unappreciated and angry.
Stress is a part of everyday life; in fact without experiencing some sort of stress in life, for instance knowing that there are deadlines, often helps individuals to become focused on the job at hand and accomplish what is needed. Stress can mean something separate to each individual; take the idea of deadlines, some individuals will flourish in work with a deadline, whilst others only become more stressed and it becomes a negative influence and as such creates a physical response within them. “Stress that begins to debilitate or produce depression is completely undesirable. Such a condition calls for change. And while you may not be able to change the world, you can change your reaction to it.” Pg83, Hadley & Staudacher (1996).
Rising of college prices is unfair because student debt increases, the annual dropout rate increases, and higher anxiety and stress levels. College prices are increasing and there are some things that are causing them to increase. For example, “Some analysts attribute the rise in tuition rates to increase in demand for college education, as more young people come to believe that they need at least a bachelor’s degree in order to achieve their career goals and increase potential earnings” (College). The rise in tuition rates is because students are starting to see what they need in the future to achieve what they want for their future. They will need a college education to get the job they want and to make the earnings that they want as well.
The results of these assessments are used to plan the support needed for individuals. This is essential for you as a tutor as you can plan future learning and assessment, and make sure you are not disadvantaging learners by placing them on courses that they are not able to achieve. Computerised Initial Assessments can provide mixed results, although it is explained that it is not a test, some students are obviously intimidated and find the whole process quite daunting. I have noticed this particularly in more mature learners as it is often assumed that people are now IT literate, and this might not be the case. Some student’s do not taking the process seriously, this is usually when they are with their peers and unfortunately this can skew the results.
Some examples are turning homework assignments in at the last minute, running late for class, and cramming for a test. As noted by Sullivan (2011), “Personal change also requires the right timing. Just because you do not understand another perspective or have not developed a particular skill, practice, or ability does not mean you never will (,p.27).” When an individual takes personal responsibility for their actions, it can help clarify which life goals are most important, and the means to achieve college success by understanding that our values support how we go about. Making decisions. Taking Responsibility for Your Own Actions To me, taking responsibility for your own action is similar to the phrase “you got to crawl before you can walk”.
