(a) Fully explain the 4 enunciated propositions therein, which Educators must pay attention to, in order to counter the over emphasis on the cognitive domain. (15)
Humans are lifelong learners. “Holistic approaches to teaching and learning recognize the connectedness of mind, body and spirit…” (Deewr, 2009). The various learning styles and the needs of evolving human beings’ responsiveness impact on the holistic education. Holistic education’s principle is to prepare children to meet the challenges of living and learning. It involves the children learning to be humans and growing up. Such an education firmly believes that young people should learn about healthy relationships, pro-social behaviour, emotional and social development.

The schools work on emotional development “needs to be coordinated, coherent, planned, and developmental” (Elias et al, 1997). All elements of the school experience should strengthen one another in order to pass on reliable messages to learners. The school experience would include a discipline plan, managing the classroom environment efficiently, teaching social skills explicitly, managing anti-social behaviour and involving parents and the community. Educational interventions with learners with all kinds of emotional problems have constantly emphasised the importance of involving families (Kamps and Tankersley, …show more content…
A role model allows learning to take place through their loyalty to excellence and through their skill to make learners realise their own personal development. The most dominant and life-changing role models are teachers.
By taking into consideration the affective domain when planning courses, delivering lectures and activities and when assessing student learning, teachers’ effectiveness are increased. Student motivation, perceptions, values and attitudes are factors of the affective domain. During each fundamental stage of development, students are followed by teachers. Teachers are poised to become influential in student’s life because they are with the students for five days a week.
The syllabus does not give details of what the students learn from their teachers such as, allowing learners to grow in a responsible way and helping them to become independent. Teachers are always watched and viewed as motivators, guides, heroes, surrogate parents, mentors, and leaders who thrive to make the world a better place. . School allows social learning as well as academic learning to take place. Despite the fact that a teacher’s authority on the social sphere of school reduces as students mature, those early messages still have a result on how they will relate with others in the future. They deeply impact our student's personal growth as they continually see and
Any school curriculum should aim at enabling children to be able to think in broader terms, motivate them to want to be more knowledgeable and above all, allow them to come up with new approaches to problem solving. However, more too often teachers tend to limit the students to only the known facts in text books, something which prompts them to remain in their comfort zones. Additionally, the purpose of any formal education is not only to gain formal knowledge but also to gain social knowledge. Different teachers will have different approaches to achieve this. Despite the approach used, in the end of the day, they are expected to have involved and impacted positively on the different characters of children in their classrooms that is, the shy,
It is the job of a leader to be a role model because people look up to you. Leadership is something I may have to work on a little because I am a shy person, but that doesn’t stop me. Last year, some 6th grade student were going to be selected to give a tour of the school to the 5th graders who were coming to Great Hollow the following year. My teacher was unsure that I would be a good choice because I am quiet in class. But I convinced him to let me be a tour guide and he was impressed with my performance. I was excited and talked to the students about the school and I was happy to be a leader and show the 5th graders what to do. I proved to myself I had
Just about anybody can be a good role model. One may ask what a good role model is, and how a good role model dif...
Teachers help us expand and open our mind by giving us skills throughout students’ early life to help students when they are older. By learning information from teachers, students become better people, in a couple of ways. Besides inquiring knowledge from their teachers, students learn to work with one another, open their mind to other peoples’ thoughts and ideas, respect one another, and learn different techniques for life’s issues.
In reading chapter seven of the textbook, the education of students with emotional and behavior disorders was not common before the turn of the twentieth century. Before children were thought of as having mental illnesses, many researchers thought that this was only diagnosed in adults. For a child to be known to have a mental issue back in the nineteenth century was said to be evil or satanic. It was very challenging to study emotional behavior disorders in children. Unfortunately, there was no way to describe the disorder. Doctors and professional were terrified to admit that children could have mental illnesses. In the 1960’s, schools began to service students with emotional behavior disorders but they were generally still considered to be ill. Although students with emotional and behavior disorder were in school, it was still the responsibility of doctors and psychologist to service the needs of the students. During this time, there were three ways of identifying emotional behaviors. The first was called functional approach, the second was mental hygiene movement, and the third, behaviorism. There was a period from the 1930’s to the 1950’s were children were being observed to classify various types of emotional behavior disorders. By 1975, during the passing of public law 94-142, students with emotional behavior disorders were now being served in the public schools. Since the passing of the law, professionals have researched interventions and ways to treat children with emotional behavior disorders.
Role models can make a huge difference in a child's life. My Physical Education teacher had a major impact of effecting of what I want to be now. Aleta Jo Crotty helped me to learn to take responsibility for my actions, and in my choices I am in control. By using guidelines that was set by her for my life, I hope to reach just one child.
In a society where kids must go to school up to the collegiate level, teaching is an impactful career choice. Teachers help contour the minds of future leaders of the world. Furthermore, teachers play a crucial role in guiding students to the knowledge, skills, and abilities they need to succeed in life, and teachers lead students to make informed decisions on any topic the meet in the future. As a teacher, a person must relinquish their knowledge onto students. Finally, they must prepare their students for all the obstacles they will face later in life.
Early childhood reveals a distinctive opportunity for the foundation of a healthy development and a time of immense growth and of helplessness. In early childhood, children begin to learn what causes emotions and begin noticing others reactions to these feelings. They begin to learn to manage and control their feelings in self regulation. Emotional self regulation refers to the strategies used to adjust emotions to a contented level so goals can be accomplished. This requires voluntary, effortless management of emotions (Berk, 2007). Promoting young children’s social-emotional development is essential for three interconnected reasons: Positive social-emotional development provides a base for life-long learning; Social skills and emotional self-regulation are integrally related to later academic success in school, Prevention of future social and behavioral difficulties is more effective than later remediation (U.S Department of Health and Human Services). Research on early childhood has highlighted the strength of the first five years of a child’s life on thier social-emotional development. Neg...
School is an environment where children are intended to learn many interpersonal skills. Through emotional learning they develop self awareness, more specifically identifying and recognising emotions, strengths, needs and values, self-efficacy and spirituality. Students develop self management by controlling and managing stress, self motivating and developing organisational skills. They are also able to make decisions b...
According to Krathwohl (1964) affective objectives are rarely inculcated in College Curricula due to the hesitancy of teachers to assign students grades for interest, attitude or character development. This he says are due to two factors which are; appraisal techniques which are inadequate and the fact that students easily exploit their ability to detect responses to be rewarded or
Many people find someone in his/her life to look up to, a role model. There are many different kinds of role models; they can be singers, public speakers, a parent, or even a friend. Role models also are not determined by certain criteria. A role model can be a role model just because they are a leader or have a great talent. Oprah Winfrey is considered a role model to many individuals because of her tough childhood, wonderful charity work, her schools, and the true relationships with her fans. Oprah stands out among many people on her ability to feel others’ pain and help those people get through their troubling times.
Teachers serve as the guiding force in a student’s life. They are responsible for molding a student’s personality and shaping his/her mental orientation. Teachers deeply impact our lives and direct the course of our future. One cannot deny the influence of teachers in one’s life. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that, till a certain age, out life revolves around our teachers. They are our constant companions, until we grow old enough to come out of their shadow and move ahead on our own.
Along these two weeks we have been prompt to make a recall to our own way of learning and why we became a teacher: Was it because coincidence, due to life circumstances, maybe because family tradition, was it a conscious decision or because someone influenced us? Whatever the answer is, we have to face reality and be conscious that being a teacher does not only means to teach a lesson and asses students learning. It requires playing the different roles a teacher must perform whenever is needed and required by our learners, identify our pupils needs and preferences, respecting their integrity and individuality but influencing and motivating them to improve themselves and become independent.
Socrates, a famous philosopher, once said, “I cannot teach anybody anything; I can only make them think.” This quote is interesting in the fact that in modern times it is mandatory to go to school for a certain length of time to be taught in order to learn. We have teachers that share their knowledge with their students so that the generations to come can continue to grow and develop. When a student is asked what their teachers do at school they will most likely respond with something along the lines of, “they teach.” This response is both true and false to an extent. While the teachers can provide their students with knowledge, it is important for the students to do their part by using their minds to understand it for themselves. Socrates
To become an affective teacher, I would began managing my class from the beginning of the school year by providing rules to the class that they must follow. When I give rules, students tend follow them every day, and count them as a usual duties they must do every day in my classroom. Rules build buildings build a city, a community, a country, therefore rules can build my class the way I want it to be built and raised. There will be punishments and there will be awarding to those who listen and to those who don’t, everything is managed. But, I see management differ from grade level to another, because, for example, the punishment for a kindergartner will differ from the punishment to an eighth grader. Also the class rules will differ as well from a low grade level to a higher grade level. The rules will be less strict and less worry for low grade level students, because they are little kids still they don’t understand very quickly. Therefore, low grade level teachers, I believe must have more patience than the high level grade teachers. The second most effective step to take in a classroom after making sure the class is managed carefully, is to become with great instructional methods. Some excellent instructional methods are the great and effective teacher lectures that are mostly used in the classroom, group and class discussions where each student expresses his or her thoughts and ideas, and some types of home or classwork like textbook assignments and reading assignments in
