What does the statement, “Students not only care what you know, but want to know you care” mean to you? This statement to me means, that there are students who not only seek for a teacher with knowledge, but a teacher who will appreciate them as a student, and encourage them to succeed. This is because many students are discouraged by those teachers who are in a classroom because it is their job rather than their passion. Everyday I encounter different students with different personalities, but through my experience with children, I have learned that, the most common students are those who are in need of a caring hand and support. For example, I once worked with a group of fifth graders who were all very well behaved, but there was one boy
These individuals or groups are called agents of socialisation. There are several agents of socialisation, such as family, education and mass media. Many people believe that peers are the most effective agent as it influences a lot of the decisions we make. Peer groups don’t have to be our friends, and we don’t have to like them but we still act like them. They are often people you share a similar social position to you, same age, lifestyle, status and/or jobs.
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.
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.
Students with emotional and behavioral disorders can often control themselves better if given the option to step away. Having a quiet area in the classroom gives them an appropriate choice. Encourage students to journal, which allows them to get in touch with their emotions and possibly understand the causes. Lastly, reward affected students frequently for positive behaviors, instead of correcting, because the student can easily get frustrated or angry with corrections (Schreiner, n.d.). Effective Teaching Strategies for Physical and Health Disabilities Physical and health disabilities cross a huge field of types of
No matter what group a child associates with, there will be influences. Peer pressure is a growing epidemic in schools today that needs to be addressed. Peer pressure is a social influence cast on an individual by others, or pressure on a child to behave in a certain manner that is acceptable to a certain group. Peer pressure has a negative connotation; however, not all of it is negative. When a student is surrounded by “the right crowd”, peer influences tend to better the student.
These are differences in understanding, perception, attitudes, or preferred action. Yet one of the key advantages of working in groups and teams is the opportunity to capitalize on the multiple perspectives that group and team members have (Beebe & Masterson, 2006). An examination of the faculty profiles provided me with an indication that although there are some teachers with innovative ideas, many teachers carry a groupthink mentality. Groupthink is described as a means of deliberating what group members use when their desire for unanimity overrides their motivation to assess all available plans of action (West & Turner, 2004). Some student profiles created by faculty members contain information that could be called into question because of biases and stereotyping.
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
Understanding the strengths of fellow students allows one to improve areas of weakness by absorbing what is imparted by fellow students. In addition, understanding the personality types of one’s fellow students enables one to become involved in groups, or discussions that will allow for maximum
Most students try to avoid being lectured or get in trouble for something they can avoid. This is definitely extrinsic motivation that in turn create intrinsic motivation. Also, being able to see others students succeed around them can also motivate. If I don't care about my homework but I see that my friends do, I might be more likely to start caring about it
