Peer-to-peer

Tyrel Hurst Dr. Ignacio Palacios ENC 1134 24 January 2017 Peer Interview I interviewed my peer David Yancey in class I asked him the following questions: “What is your philosophy in bringing up children?” He said, “Biblical upbringing with love. A logical approach to issues.” I then asked, “How should children be disciplined when they disobey their parents?” He said three things, “Spanking. Application of negative reinforcements such as chores. Soap in the mouth for lying.” For my final…

People think that most delinquents are caused by parental effects but peer pressure is a common cause. Between the ages of 8-14 children are more dependent on the opinion of their friends. There is no difference in gender when it comes to peer influence both genders that show aggressive signs end up having a hard time in relationships and often turn to criminal activities. Peers have a great effect on one another, they may each share the same situations and can relate to one another this is why…

One of the most common misconceptions surrounding the Peer Tutoring program is that the class is specific to students who plan on pursuing a career in teaching post-secondary. This couldn’t be more false. True, aspiring teachers would definitely benefit from the course, however, the skills developed throughout a semester as a tutor, are skills that are essential and transferable to any chosen career path. Any student, no matter his or her ambitions, can profit equally from enrolling, and I’d…

One idea is peer support as a means of improving school safety. Essentially peer support systems in schools are defined as flexible frameworks within which children and young people are trained to offer emotional and social support to fellow pupils in distress (Cowie & Jennifer, 2008). The method of peer support has been quite widely used in Canada and Australia since the 1980s. It has grown in popularity…

to find jobs. There are opinions on what is the purpose of education, what role does the teacher really play and what should be taught. Some would say it is better for individuals to learn about independence instead of learning to depend on their peers. Others may say that networking, and knowing the right people will get you far in life. However, what stops academic success? Would you think it is society influenced, or blame parental skills? Since this generation relies on technology maybe it…

easily influenced by the decisions and actions of others especially by their peers. It is what you called Peer Pressure. According to Dr. Casey B. J. (2008), Time is also a huge factor in teen’s decision making. Teens are more accurate in making their decisions when they have more time to think, but when they have to decide in a short period of time, they tend to be easily influenced by others especially with their peers. According to Steinberg, L. (2008) Age is also a huge factor in decision…

solace in their peers, seeking confirmation and advice about their personal issues, peaked interests and values. Being accepted by their peers is a must for most children and teenagers. With this being the case, they are subjected to the pressures of doing what their peers are doing. Even though all peer pressure is not negative, there is still the chance of the outcome resulting in negative penalties. Therefore, it is imperative to concentrate on the following aspects of peer pressure; the…

1) Describe the peer mentor role in your own words. The role of a peer mentor is to help students with their transition from high school to college. You want them to enjoy the college atmosphere. In my case, I was considering to transfer right in the beginning because I just did not like the whole atmosphere. Thanks to my wonderful peer mentor though they reassured me to keep trying to adjust by joining clubs, going to events, and making friends that I would begin to like it here. Once I did…

Middle School has been affected by the new elective peer mentoring. At the end of the 2015-2016 school year, students were surprised to see this new elective and were eager to learn about it. Opening lockers, organization skills, and even homework are only some of the things students might need assistance in. Peer Mentoring is a way for students to receive help in those areas. Helping students with every-school-day things is one of the main goals of Peer Mentoring. Teachers and staff were aware…

NEGATIVE PEER EFFECTS AND POSITIVE IMPACT ON LEARNING Peers have tremendous influence on children as they grow up, but some of this can certainly have a negative effect (Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders, 2015 ). Parents and family generally have the greatest influence on a child and although some have suggested that the peer role can be even greater, Berk (2006) counters this claim. However, the net effect of peer influence on student development can also be profound. As Ladd (2005)…
