Early Childhood Education: Guiding the Behavior of Students

624 Words2 Pages

Early Childhood Education teachers know that our children deserve to learn the important lessons from us and to acquire important habits with our help. Teachers and future teachers want our children to grow up to be responsible adults. Also, teachers are trying to find the perfect way to deal with children with different type of behavior. Teachers have to deal with parents, giving them a satisfactory result of their child developmental progress and security. My philosophy of guiding young children behavior is to use the combination of collaboration, positive attitude, and patience. Self control is important to teach to children because they learn the concept of courage, honesty, deal effectively with emotions, such as anger, and to be patience. Teachers need to demonstrate a positive attitude when they are dealing with different type of behavior. To have a successful and positive response from our children I as a future teacher have to give the attention that they need. For example: If Karen take away Susan‘s pencil and she comes to me to explain the situation, and I ignore...

    Dr. Seuss wrote, “You’re off to great places. Today is your day. Your mountain is waiting. So get on your Way”. The role of the early childhood educator, while rewarding, can sometimes feel as is you are climbing a mountain. Educators have to consider how to implement curriculum, instruction, management, and technology in the classroom. Educators also have to provide an environment where all children feel safe and nurtured. When creating a course of action, educators have to consider their role as well as the role of the student, parent, and community.

  • Behaviorist And Constructivist Theories In Early Childhood Education

    230 Words  | 1 Pages

    The behaviorist and constructivist theories pose a significant debate in early childhood education that questions if curriculum should be based on the children’s natural childlike dispositions or should adults determine and decide every aspect of curriculum. The distinction between the two theories determine what and how young children learn. The behaviorist theory believes that people of all ages learn the same and that behavior is controlled by outside influences and rewards. Whereas, the constructivist theory believes young children develop cognitive structure based on interactions with other people and the environment. Most early childhood programs follow the constructivist theory and are child-centered. According to Freeney, Galper, and

    ... they can trust, it will cause them to feel safe in their environment and give them a greater sense of self-worth. (Caldarella, P., Page, N., & Gunter, L., 2009) In order to enforce the use of this program, teachers must be calm and in control at all times. That is why the first step of Conscious Discipline is training teachers in the “basic powers of self control” (perception, unity, free will, love, acceptance, and intention) along with the “seven basic skills for discipline” (composure, encouragement, alertiveness, choices, positive intent, empathy, and consequences). (Caldarella, P., Page, N., & Gunter, L., 2009) These skills will cause teachers to be more conscious of themselves and able to control their emotions appropriately. It will also encourage them to be proactive instead of reactive in difficult situations. (Caldarella, P., Page, N., & Gunter, L., 2009)

    The way the young, old, and infants look at things has been the subject of a number of studies for many years. These tendencies are referred to as visual preferences and in infants this study can be referred to as early visual perception. Though interest in the study of visual preferences has declined, significant progress has been made in this field. This study however has been very instrumental in helping scholars understand early childhood development issues. Among these issues is how visual preferences can help infants process the stimuli they come across. The issue of whether or not infants possess visual preference abilities after birth has also shown great interest among scholars. This paper seeks to cut through the arguments and delve into the factual evidence. The paper will consider how infants process as well as respond to visual stimuli in their environment. In addition, the paper seeks to establish how age and experience affects this process. These two factors will help correlate visual preference with cognition and perception in infants. The paper will mostly focus on how infants process stimuli with respect to visual preference.

    “If you think about the brain and the brain development if we don’t stimulate the brain then of course there is going to be lack of development.” (“Unruh”). Development is sempiternal in life, it moves through many stages into life such as learning to grasp a fork properly to grasping the thought of death. General development stages begin at birth and last till about age of 18, but the most important development stages start from birth and last till about six years of age. These early stages will affect how one will behave, interpret, and learn throughout the duration of one’s life. While bodily changes are rapidly occurring and the beginning of thought, opinion, and reason are just forming. It is important to understand as future parents or caregivers how and when their child, even if premature, is developing socially, cognitively, or physically.

    Guiding young children could be challenging without child development knowledge. One of the major problems that teachers may experience in their work environment, maybe children's behavioral issues. Either because some of these children may have a cognitive disability like Autism, ADHD, or other learning disorder that limit them to reach their main goals; Therefore, they become frustrated and misbehave to awake their despair in others, or perhaps, these children may be exposed to a poor quality environment at home that leads them to a lack of social-emotional skills that lead them to misbehave. However, if teachers use the positive discipline strategies to solve behavior issues, misbehaving problems can be decreased and positive attitude towards school and peers can improve. Also, supporting parents and guiding them with the proper resources to solve their issues is crucial. It is crucial for teachers to have a reciprocal relationship with parents. Therefore, they can exchange ideas, decisions, the discuss children's academic

    I have come a long way in two weeks since I wrote my first paper for this class. I know that seems like a strange thing to say but it's true. During that time I have caught up on all my reading for the course, watched a large portion of the class I missed last week, and not only thought about the ways that the information in this course has made me look deeper at what I do in education, but also make others question what is going on in their school (I will delve deeper into this later in the paper). In my first paper I looked personally at gender and sexual diversity in my early life, when I taught and coached, and then in my life as a parent. I expressed that I had little experience dealing with different aspects but I always tried to

The classroom serves as the physical environment for the children for most of their waking hours. These classrooms need to be attractive and function effectively. Concerns for any early childhood educator should always include space, equipment and materials used, outdoor space and the daily schedule to ensure that all students are provided ample opportunities to learn and grow within a safe and secure environment.

    When I first encountered the term ECE, my first thought was, YAY! I will be learning education content intended for young children. Specifically, formal school age children, kindergarten through fifth grade. Kindergarten is when education starts, right? I had always assumed “early childhood” to be a term used to describe children five to eight. To me, the term early childhood education (ECE) was primarily in regards to the education of elementary children. My understanding of early education, was constricted to my personal experiences with the term elementary, and how I synonymously used it with early education.

    Importance of Early Childhood Education Early childhood education is for children from the ages of three to eight years old. There are four learning goals that early programs have for a young child. The four learning goals are: knowledge ( consisting of facts, concepts, ideas, and vocabulary), skills ( small units of action that occur in a short period of time), disposition ( respond to certain situations), and feelings ( emotional states) ( Katz 2003). With successful care giving and early education, it can bring a positive outcome to a child’s life. What a child learns in their early years are things that will continue to help them along in their future, in school and in the real world.
