Given what we have learned throughout the semester, what position do you take on this issue; should the child have been removed or not? Explain why you feel this way using at least 2 principles or theories you’ve learned about. Explain these principles/theories and how they relate to your position. The description of the boy’s condition is self-explanatory. It is evident that removing the child carries more weight than letting him stay with her mother. I therefore strongly support the option of…
Students experience language or are exposed to language uses either by native or non-native speakers. In this educational context, students come across the spoken English Language through listening activities run in class or by the interaction with the EFL Teacher. In this session representative, samples of the listening tasks of the coursebook of 3rd grade Think Teen will be reviewed in terms of the criteria set by Rost (2002, p.160-181). In particular, the listening tasks under scope derive…
student learning is through a collaborative effort with multiple teachers and intuition. In a study published in the Educational Technology Research and Development by Ferry Boschman, Susan McKenney, and Joke Voogt (2014), the researchers investigated how three different teams of Dutch kindergarten teachers used intuitive decisions to design a curriculum implementing a technology program. The results indicated the teams relied on two main principles to create their curriculum: existing…
components of teaching learning process is assessment. Assessment is necessary to gauge the competence and proficiency the learner has acquired during the learning process. Assessment / evaluation is an ongoing process and since it is a continuous process it should not be used as mere method or an annual summary for accountability purpose in fact it shouldprovide meaningful link and feedback to both teachers and students.

Word Analysis Assessments Language and word analysis assessments are important tools that educators use to help identify deficits of English language skills in ELL students. Once ELL students have been identified these assessments can be used to help determine the student’s skill level, so that they can be placed appropriately in the school. These same kinds of assessments should be readministered periodically to track the students’ language proficiency growth. Because every student comes from…
Motivation is the driving force according to Dornyei (2001) states that motivation stimulates the learners to learn. It is the “state of morale; extent of readiness or willingness”. Motivation has been shown to positively influence study strategy, academic performance, adjustment and well-being in students in domains of education (Vansteenkiste et al. 2005). Studying motivation particularly in science education is important because science education is different from general education in several…
Intelligence, according to British psychologist Charles Spearman, is general cognitive ability that could be measured and numerically expressed. There has been a presentable amount of research done to prove the relationship between one’s intelligence and how it affects their workplace achievements as well as academic achievements. Similarly, students’ achievements in their classrooms are also thought to be in direct relation to their intelligence. So, what of students who face various learning…
Educational improvements recently demonstrated that students should be taught concepts rather than subjects (Posner, Strike, Hewson & Gertzog, 1982). Concept learning necessitates knowing the prerequisite knowledge of the learners and developing new strategies with respect to different perceptions of those learners (Akdeniz, Bektaş & Yiğit, 2000). Similarly, Ausubel (1968) stated that existing conceptual knowledge in a target area can make the most significant impact on the conceptual learning…
