The article I chose to write about is, Nine Powerful Practices, by Ruby Payne. In her article, Ruby Payne focuses on 9 strategies to help low-income students raise achievement. This article relates to sociology by intertwining with the function of education and social class. Ruby Payne believed that kids who grow up poor are more likely to have less educational background and that teachers can help to improve and ensure that these kids are more likely to overcome these challenges. In Ruby Paynes opinion, teachers can change a low income students life just by establishing mutual respect.
In an attempt to explore a fairly under researched subject, researchers Bigelow and La Gaipa looked at the differences in children’s understanding of friendship at various stages of development. They created a unique means of investigating the gradual changes in the understanding of friendship as children grow older. In doing so they helped to shed new light on the important role that friends play in children’s lives. In addition another researcher was also interested in this subject: William Corsaro. However, Corsaro was interested in how children talk to each other and believed that research on children’s friendships should focus on children’s individual understanding of the word ‘friend’.
“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.
It is also stated that the language of ‘textese’ as it is called, maybe be just masking dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning disability where people have difficulty seeing the word and its correct spelling in their head. ‘Textese’ makes it easy for dyslexic people because they don’t have to have all the letters in the word they just have to make sure the other person they are communicating with can understand them and what they are trying to say. These things are clearly the cons of ‘textese’ but in the article there are almost more pros than cons. ‘Textese’ is not as deviant as people think, they make it out to be the biggest first world problem anyone has ever seen but really its only if people are in a real rush that they use it.
Keith Ollivierre Prof. J Adler Psychology 100 Date: Friday, December 14 2014 Literature review project Topic : In beauty we trust: Children prefer information from more attractive informants. From : British journal of developmental psychology. This article is about whether or not information is perceived as correct to a child either coming from a attractive informant or a lesser attractive one. what i learned from the experiment is that children are vulnerable when obtaining information because they do not base there decisions about who to trust based on the the concept of information being right or wrong but rather on purely non-epistemic grounds. 1.
Aman Sangha! 3121185111 EDUF 3031: Professional Statement ! The unit of study ‘Positive Approaches to Special Education’ has given me the opportunity to reflect on my practices as a pre-service teacher and how well they incorporate an inclusive approach to education. Although I have not come across children with additional needs in my practicums, inclusion has been an hidden agenda within my goals and practices. Inclusion and inclusive education are quite broad in definition, however with the support of this unit my professional understanding of inclusion has been formed by research and practices such as all student engagement, asking the question how?
This is especially true in times of stress or danger when our behaviors become more instinctual and we rely on older systems of thinking and acting that evolved before our ability to speak and write. This innateness creates intuitive feelings about the genuineness of demonstrative communication, and this genuineness relates back to our earlier discussion about the sometimes involuntary and often subconscious nature of demonstrative communication. An example of the innateness of nonverbal signals can be found in children who have been blind since birth but still exhibit the same facial expressions as other children. In short, the involuntary or subconscious nature of nonverbal communication makes it less easy to fake, which makes it seem more honest and
Teachers have clear objectives to which they can tailor their lessons, and administrators have clearer means of monitoring progress in schools (Wright, 2012). During an interview with a parent of two school age children attending different schools had this to say concerning the act… NCLB is a positive approach to education because scientific studies show that children who have been held back often display a lack of confidence, social skills and often have issues with problem solving (Johnson, 2012), By getting immediate help when and where needed we can through this process avert that outcome and cause our children to be more confident and productive succeeding and achieving equally amongst their peers (Johnson,
2. In general terms, reading involves decoding (i.e., fast, accurate, silent translation of isolated words) and comprehension (i.e., understand the meaning of words, sentences, paragraphs, etc.). Toby and Daniel are young readers. Toby has not developed decoding skills to the point of automaticity, whereas Daniel has. Using information processing theory as a basis, predict which student will do better on a reading comprehension test and
The study also found that those parents who placed the most importance on their children learning to talk and participating fully in the hearing world had less difficulty making the decision than parents who placed less importance on these outcomes and who worried about whether their children would be part of the deaf or hearing world. It seems likely that the latter group of parents had knowledge of an alternative positive model of deaf life that made the decision about implantation less straightforward. These quantitative findings appear to reflect certain of the findings of the qualitative study byLi et al.
