The Importance Of Educational Psychology

My life goals are to complete my Graduate Program in School Psychology; this would lead me to fulfill my second goal, which is to become an independent individual who can be economically self-supporting and self-sufficient doing something that I enjoy and, in the meantime, helping the young generation. My third goal is to have a family of my own with a husband who is caring and devoted to his family. My first goal, at this time, is the most important one for me because this one can lead to…

Growing up I never really had a problem when it came to learning. It did not matter what the subject was, I always found a way to learn it. You know at that time of my life, caring about ‘how’ I learned was of no care to me just as long as I received no less than high B as my grade. I recently taken a self-assessment to see what my primary learning style is and the results were unsurprising. At 30% auditory, 35% visual, and 35% for tactile, the self-assessment reveals that I am a…

each possibly learning and studying in different ways. To standardize all kids, young or old, into the category of technological learning only would be an issue. Take a look back at one of the largest standardizations in all of the United States’ educational history: No Child Left Behind. This was proposed on George W. Bush 's third day of office, and passed with complete bipartisan support. This raised the yearly number of tests that a student in America has to take, going from roughly six per…

learning varies in all households and is heavily influenced by their home life and parental involvement, technology usage and socioeconomic status. Influences in a student learner’s life helps ensure their continued learning and growth in an educational environment.…

A classroom challenge I find most difficult would be my Social Welfare class. My instructors style is strictly reading from the slides without visuals or activities to get me involved in the topic. I find this difficult for me because I am a kinaesthetic learner, meaning that I learn best if I am involved in the lecture ( by activities, class discussion, demonstrations, games, etc) Being a kinaesthetic learner I have realized that I am a hands on person. University is challenging for me because…

The purpose of education is not only to inform people on the history of all different subjects, but enables us to help others. Without education there’s a big potential of separation of nationalities based on the amount of knowledge one nation could have, we may not realise it but education is a huge reason why separation of race isn’t as big as it could potentially be. Also, this gives us a general knowledge of the world, which not only stops us from repeating history, but allows us to evolve…

Importance of Doctors to Developmental Issues at a Young and Appropriate Age According to Huberman, human development is a lifelong process from childhood through adolescence and eventually adulthood. The process of development varies among individuals of the same age. In some individuals, development is fast while to others development is slow. A doctor or a development professional should be consulted by parents and caregivers whenever concerns about a child’s development arise. When…

so much it over uses it. Most of the United States seems to agree that standardized testing is important, it is so important that is the student do well in the tests the school or teacher might get extra money and reputation. Because of this the educational purpose is lost, and the schedule for learning is structured around how well one passes a test. On the contrast “The [Finnish] curricula are very much focused on critical thinking and problem solving, project-based learning, and learning to…

over the past couple months. It has been a wonderful experience and has shown me a lot of great examples of what we have been reviewing and learning in class. I have turned this into a personal field trip by taking note of the many different and educational experiences that have been going on within my first grade classroom. I have gone through what we have learned in ELED 304 and picked some of the vocab and terms that have been shown or expressed during my personal field trip. One of the…
