However, some disruptions are unpreventable and inevitable and strategies need to been in place to deal with these when they occur. One classroom condition that a teacher has no control over with the growing populations of students is large class sizes. Large classes will only add to difficulty of classroom management as there are potentially more students to create disruptions. It is the teacher’s responsibility to keep the students engaged to avoid students losing interest which could lead to misbehaviors. Spencer Kagan, Patricia Kyle, and Sally Scott provide that disruptions and misbehaviors can be prevented by, “An interesting, stimulating teacher who adapts the curriculum to student interests and needs” (Charles, 2008, p. 155).
Community Colleges are better than University One poet had said, “Life is learning.” Indeed, life is combined by learning and knowing. Because of it, students should try their best to get more and more knowledge before they get into society. There is a larger problem that students who graduated from high school have to face. Should they attend four-year-university or community college? There are too many different things that students and parents need to consider such as the credits, the cost, the course and instructor, etc.
Ungar author of “The New Liberal Arts” who believes liberal arts is necessary for high school and college students, he argues that liberal arts sets the stage for the future and what jobs will soon anticipate when looking for an employee. Although I agree with liberal arts being taught to elementary and middle school students, I cannot accept the fact that Murray believes liberal arts should end with the eighth grade, why should learning ever stop, knowledge is power and students should continue to learn until they are not able to learn
Although they all play important roles in educating students and helping people get their start in life, it helps to keep their basic differences in mind as you think about which may be better for you. When it comes to choosing your next educational step, you’ll need to think about how much of a time and money investment you’re prepared to make as well as what kinds of jobs you can see yourself holding in the future. To help you figure out where your next move should be, here’s a short breakdown of the pros and cons of two- and four-year colleges. TWO-YEAR COLLEGES Although four-year schools get all the media hype, many high school graduates head right to a two-year institution. Looking at the facts, it’s no surprise why.
One of the many challenges that face adult learners is that they have world experience. They tend to want to take their knowledge from the workplace into an academic environment and most times the knowledge that has gotten them through so much of their lives already will not help them in an academic setting. Because adults are set in their ways, it is difficult to break old habits to form new learning habits. In being aware of this problem, instructors can come up with ways to form new learning habits. Instructors have to come up with ways to show the adult learners that they can examine their text to form their own opinions and help the student link their coursework in one class to another so that they can feel that there is a relevant purpose to learning the text and putting in the time.
So, students who want to “work with their hands” and gain experience quicker can look into trade school where they would be taught specific skills geared towards their ideal job. Hands-on experience through trade school is a great option for those who already know what they want to do. However, for people who do not know what they want to do going to college will give one multiple opportunities to network. Networking is an important factor that is essential in building
There is another problem with our society that has distorted our perception of the process of intellectual growth. School which is the main foundation of academia has been attached to much stress. You study and learn in order to get a degree, so you can make a living for yourself. This whole outlook on studying to achieve something greater has turned many people off. When a book determines your entire future, people are bound to either accept that reality or rebel against the idea.
The difference between disequilibrium, and equilibrium and its impact in the classroom is as significant as Piaget suggests. If a student/person feels like they know how to solve a problem (or are at equilibrium), they will not want to learn about it. Although, if they are able to create a disequilibrium, or the inability to solve a problem by receiving constructive feedback and create competition, one will want to learn more about the subject/job and will hopefully retain a lot more information. An example of this can be seen in the classroom or workforce. There are many children in primary school who rely on their parents/peers to tie their shoes for them as they constantly have support in the area and have no motivation to learn themselves.
One reason i think a longer school day is better than having homework is because students can work harder on trying to do their work and not rush through it to get it over with so they won't have to do it for homework. Another reason i think having a longer school day would be better is because when the students need help, their teachers will be right there to help them instead of being outside the school not knowing how to do something. I also think the students will get the opportunity to play more sports, hang out with friends and do the things they love and enjoy doing. Homework doesn't have these good advantages. This is what the students would particurally like, but what about the parents?
One reason for this is we are becoming a technological society. As times change and technology becomes more advanced, people are needing to go back to school to learn how to change as well. Going back to school is one way to advance our technological skills. Going back to school helps us to be more productive, making us a better asset to employers. Some people believe that going back to school is a waste of time and money.
