Last but not least, I would like to give examples and give my point of view on the word sociology, such as what does it mean to me! First, I would like to define and explain what sociology means to me! Sociology explores people and society. It examines our social institutions; our families, the state and social relationships like gender and ethnicity, to help make sense of how we both see and interpret our rapidly changing world. Sociology examines how our behavior individually and in groups is influenced by social processes and what that means.
Gregory Powell ______________ ______________ ______________ Society is a process made up of interactions in terms of size and complexity of multiple levels. Sociology is the study of society. It is a social science, a term with which uses several micro level of agency and interaction to the macro level of systems and social structures. Argument The first thing to remember in writing sociological argument is to be as clear as possible in stating your thesis. In the study of sociology, there are three sociological assumptions: argument, evidence, unit of analysis.
One of the key responsibilities I feel for a teacher is to provide information, wisdom. In order to share their knowledge and understanding of a subject or topic a teacher needs to have a deep understanding of the topic that they are teaching. However alongside this a teacher should not claim to know it all, and be willing to learn from their students. ‘Knowledge may be seen as a level of awareness, consciousness or familiarity gained by experience, learning or thinking.’ (Jarvis 1987). It is important that the teacher appreciate any input from their students, whether the answer is correct or not.
Explain the difference between the Sociological Imagination, as described by C. Wright Mills and common-sense explanations. Then through the use of examples show how each approach would explain one of the following topics. The sociological imagination and common sense explanations have contrasting ideas on many topics such as education success and failure and sexuality. In this essay I am going to discuss and explore both the sociological imagination and common sense and how each of these explains the concept of education success and failure. First of all I am going to explain what exactly the sociological imagination and common sense explanations are, and then go on to discuss how each justify educational outcomes.
The stability in the classroom is necessary to meet basic needs of students. I believe firmly that if basic human needs are not met then there is no hope for curricular learning to take place. The student needs to be comfortable to learn. To correct a behavior that is already in progress prevention can also be a method of attack. The key is to discover the antecedent and change it, remove it, or take action to create a new one.
Analyse different ways in which you would establish ground rules with learners, which underpin behavior and respect others. Ground rules are set of rules which are set to govern the interactions and expected behaviors of learners in order to promote an effective learning environment. The different ways to establish ground rule are:- • Tutor setting ground rules where learners are given a list of set rules which are not discussed but they are to be adhered to. This approach is restrictive and tutor runs the risk of having to constantly spend time reinforcing them. • Learners setting ground rules which are less restrictive, more inclusive and more likely to be successful as it allow learners to take ownership and they are more likely to keep them.
Also it is important to be realistic with Learners and accept that at times, mistakes can be made, and that the important matter is that this is accepted, managed and that all parties are able to move on to a more positive footing. Assessment Our responsibilities are: • To be fair and consistent • To assess promptly, within the agreed timescales • To be honest • To be innovative and give a balanced view Boundaries with assessment Boundaries with assessment are that not all Learners will fit into the boxes we need to adhere to, set by differing Examining bodies. It is also fair to state that assessment is only an individual’s perception of a performance and when one Learner meets the standard for one Assessor, they may not do so for another Assessor. Evaluation Our responsibilities are: • To evaluate honestly • To seek constructive feedback • To speak and gain guidance from peers If helpful • To consider exam results and tutorial feedback and incorporate into evaluation • To consider external assessment and Ofsted and incorporate feedback into evaluation and amendment of future
In this write-up, I will seek to explain the ways in which I could establish ground rules with learners, which strengthens behaviour and respect for others. In doing this, I will be explaining what ground rules are and why they are necessary. How best they can be established and also ensure that students take ownership of rules by putting responsibility on them. Ground rules can be defined as terms which govern the working relationship between the school/teacher and its learners. According to Jo Budden “good classroom management depends a lot on how you establish ground rules at the beginning of the course”.
This assignment should be added to the learners PDP’s. P5 and M3 – require learners to reflect on and explain how the knowledge gained within the classroom has influenced their professional development within placement. Learners should use examples where possible to link their theoretical understanding to practical experience. This M3 criterion could be completed in the middle of the learner’s course of study and then towards the end of the course as this would lead into learners covering D2 which requires learners to
In my theory, an effective teacher must also be willing to change and adapt lesson plans based on the needs of the students. This requires good decision-making skills so that a teacher can chose what is best for the student and that will reap the most rewards. Test-taking is also important to this theory because tests must be appropriate for all learners. If we want students to pass, we must create test that are fair to each student and allows for strengths to be shown on the
