Communication is vital in building that positive relationship needed for trust and respect, something that is very much needed when working with children, young adults and their parents. It is also important that we model positive and effective communication skills when we are asking pupils to think about how themselves are communicating. If we do not communicate effectively how we expect young adults and children the message is mixed and they find it hard to understand what is acceptable and how we should communicate with each other. 1.2 As Teaching Assistants we need to build effective relationships in order to do our job well. there are several generic principles that underpin building a strong relationship with children, young people and adults: Effective communication - one of the most important aspects of building a relationship is finding a way to communicate effectively.
There are, however, some processes which make it more possible that children will replicate the behavior that the society terms appropriate for its gender (Akers, 2009). First, children are more likely to listen to and emulate those individuals they perceive as similar to themselves. As a result, they are more likely to emulate behavior exhibited by individuals of the same sex as them.
If we go and show bad attitude and show that we are negative to certain people around them. Then we could make children to be the same way, which is not a good example to them as young children don’t know the differences between right and wrong. As a teaching assistant it is my duty and responsibility to respect the children with there needs and accept them for who they are. The way I can do this is if I think about my own beliefs and opinions so I can learn not to judge others on the basis of their race, gender or religion etc. In my line
This would affect a child’s social and communication development as he/she would find it difficult to listen and speak to peers staff and carers this could also affect their behaviour possibly becoming frustrated and quite angry Whatever concern you have about a Childs development in any area, you should always share it with others. In primary school pupils, refer to the class teacher in the first instance, followed by the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator). In secondary schools you may wish to go straight to the
'Questioning enables teachers to check learners' understanding. It also benefits learners as it encourages enitgagement and focuses their thinking on key concepts and ideas.' (Kyriacou 1995 in Desforges 1995, pg. 126) I am of the opinion that the idea children should work in mixed ability groups is not always a viable option. I feel it is important to take into account the personalities of the children, as learning may be inhibited if one child is particularly domineering or intimidating.
Bussey came to this conclusion when he found that children imitate same sex models but do not imitate same sex models that are gender inappropriate. Gender roles are also affected by social influences like parents. Parents sometimes have strong opinions on the divides between genders which results in different reinforcements for different behaviours. For example, a mother may react negatively to their daughter playing with masculine toys but positively to their son playing with the same toys. Parental influence has strengths, for example there is a wealth of scientific evidence supporting it.
This way it keeps everybody equal in terms of wearing the correct clothing and may reduce or even stop young people/children from being discriminated. 2.2/2.4 I think that the impact of prejudice & discrimination could have a major influence on a young person/child when it comes to their learning. It could have an affect on their own self-esteem by making them feel down and low. This might make them want to stop learning altogether and start becoming disruptive to the class and the teacher. Their social development might become affected because if they feel they are being discriminated, then they might not want to play along with other and may just keep themselves to themselves.
Separate but Equal? A commonly held belief in the 21st century is that all people should be treated equally, since treating one group of people differently from another would be prejudiced and give certain groups a difficult time in the “pursuit for happiness.” I think we can all agree Jim Crow laws were harmful to our society and a bad form of separation, but what about separate treatment for girls and boys? I believe that treating boys and girls the same way in schools and homes is unfair and can have an adverse effect on each group’s ability to learn new information and develop mentally. Simply put, since girls and boys learn differently, they should be taught differently. However, this fact seems to be losing its merit more and more in society because of a push towards equality and fairness.
Teen-Parent Communication About Sex When young people feel unconnected at home, family, and school, they may become involved in activities that put their health at risk. However, when parents affirm the values of their children, young people often develop positive, healthy attitudes about themselves, therefore delaying in sexual activity. The writer’s purpose(s) for writing these articles is because risky teen behavior is on the rise, and what are parents and families doing/not doing to promote safe behavior? I chose these articles because I am a teen parent, and I feel that if I had been able to have “the talk” sooner, more in depth, and more often, that it may have prevented my pregnancy. Teen Sexuality’s research showed a few things: Adolescents who stated that they were connected with their parents were more likely than other teens to delay sexual intercourse.
One of the arguments of co-education is the idea that it provides too many distractions for students. Several scholars have argued that these distractions have led to less attention on school work and class participation, due to girls and boys trying to impress each other. Furthermore, it has also been argued that students who are intimidated by the opposite sex may also be affected by low performance and low grades. Many educators believe that single-sex education does not enforce any type of gender-based stereotypes or adolescent subculture. Due to this, single-sex schools have been established to combat these issues.
