Growing up in a poor urban area, it is difficult to make ends meet. An autistic and handicapped child is very stressful for parents and family members. While autistic individuals are relatively high-functioning, they have great difficulties socializing and interacting with others. The fact that an autistic person is furthermore confined to a wheelchair and cannot walk is stigmatizing enough in elementary school, but the learning disability is even more of a challenge.

My Pratt’s Teaching Perspectives Inventory came back showing that I was high in both Transmission and Apprenticeship. Given the fact that I believe that the classroom is a place where students should have the opportunity to master the subject that they are learning, and that they should then use that mastery to make a difference in the world at large, I was not surprised by those findings. I do believe that there is something to the premise that education should take place with the learner’s point of view in mind, but I don’t think that should ...

Weizmann Institute of Science Abstract Contemporary science education (at all levels) does not treat students as passive consumers of knowledges, skills, and other educational “products” anymore.

Scores on assessments of learners' scholarly accomplishment are presently mostly utilized as a part of educational responsibility frameworks. This utilization ordinarily lays on two suppositions. First, the learners' scores are a sensible evaluation of educational quality, and thus giving the educators responsibility for them will give proper motivations to enhance the execution of instructors and the school operations. The utilization of government standardized testing is bolstered by two essential suppositions – first, state-administered assessments are outlined impartially, without inclination and second, state-administered assessments precisely evaluate a learner's scholarly information. These presumptions have persuaded school authorities, to utilize test information, as ...

Cognitive diffusion helps deal with the negative thoughts without employing maladaptive strategies. Over the last years, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a cognitive behaviour that has been adopted to deal with negative psychological contents. These contents are the barriers that prevent humans from achieving what they want. When negative thought ...

By comparing the two types of languages, it is possible to identify the contexts in which both are used, as well as the importance of teaching academic language as a ...

The strength of any public services is shown by the quality of its human resource. Developments in the economy have led to shifts in knowledge and expectation. More than ever before, the citizens are increasingly aware of the obligation that the public sector has to the citizenry. There is increased expectation for quality service delivery.

Chapter 2: Literature Review

Introduction Poor student development has been established to stem from the inability of teachers to effectively manage classroom behaviour, also stemming from ineffective instructional strategies. As teachers show a diminished capacity to support and respond to students’ needs, student rates of misbehaviour and poor academic performance will continue.

The achievement gap in formal schooling between African American children and other groups is stark. This has proven consistent over time (Coleman, et al, 1966), across jurisdictions (Clotfelter, Ladd & Vigdor, 2009; Bailey & Dziko, 2008), and throughout the K-12 system (The National Center for Education Statistics, 2014). Improving these issues is an obvious direction forward. Yet, the obstacles are numerous and multifaceted (Sanacore, 2004). Relative to the public domain, the school system is often targeted for a lack of understanding in relation to educating young African Americans of low socio-economic status. The curriculum is long been criticized for being de-contextualized to ...

Education has dependably been underweight to center its vitality and assets on closures that are not instructive. In the period of industrialized advanced education, then again, the parochial soul of instrumentalism has tightened its hold, securing phenomenal influence. Supporters of utilitarian Education once perceived or paid lip administration to the imperativeness of liberal instruction. No more. Today the common utilitarian contentions about tackling the force of instruction to the exigencies of monetary development or the work business are strengthened by the ultra-faddish consumerist ethos clearing through Education.

The legitimization for a liberal instruction is not focused around claims that a ...

There are many theories on how people learn. The social learning theory, constructivism, behavioral, cognitive information processing, and many others all suggest ideas about how people process information and learn. While they all make strong cases and have valid points about how individuals learn information and retain it, my views on the subject do not align with one specific theory. There are too many people who learn in too many ways for just one to be correct. For this reason, my informal learning theory combines pieces of different theories in order to create the most effective teaching method.
