Barrows and Tamblyn (2012) pointed out that self-imposed learning focuses too much on practicality, which often result in students’ non-inclusion of basic theories. They also pointed out that it may cause inefficiency because the length of time spent may play a factor on ...

The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) offers a suitable model for implementing health education for seniors with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones wear out gradually with age and a small fracture develops which limits the physical and physiological functionalities of the affected individual. The illness is common in seniors because of the gradual decrease in the body’s ability to replace the worn out bone tissues. The bone formation process involves a ‘wear and replace’ methodology (Moylan & Binder, 2007). However, at old age, the replacement of the tissues cannot adequately fill in for the worn out material, and the ...

If I could change any major agent of socialization in my upbringing, it could be mass media.

In the case of “The Superintendent’s Directive” the problem stems from the improper implementation of the change being initiated by Superintendent Porter. The first thing that Dr. Porter should have done is to call for a meeting among the principals of the schools under his supervision.

It would be best if Porter invites the consultant to explain to the principals what the proposal is about and what advantages it will offer the schools. Porter should listen to ...

A Case Study of Communicative Language Teaching

Summary
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) has been one of the most important factors that the second level teachers paid attention to. This practice is the technique they use when they are teaching the second language to improve their student's communication and understanding skills. Teachers will do practice this technique by developing the speaking skills of their students (Richards, 2006). This is very important because students will be able to increase their speaking and communication skills on early stage. Teachers want the student not only to develop how they understand the language, but that would also like students to ...

Walter Croskey of the Second District Court of Appeals in Los Angeles ruled that children from the age of 6 to 18 years old can not be homeschooled unless the adult person providing the education holds a valid California teaching credential (Witte & Mero, 2008; Time, 2008). Judge Croskey relied on laws going back half a century stating that "California courts have held that under provisions in the Education Code, parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children" (Witte & Mero, 2008; Time, 2008). The judge went on to say that any individual teaching ...

Introduction

Various factors may influence the learning styles of individuals (Riding & Rayner, 2002). These factors include the intelligence, ability, personality and achievement of individuals (Riding & Rayner, 2002). Individuals who are highly outgoing with numerous successful achievements may become more confident in learning than those with introverted personalities. People with introverted personalities may think of themselves as small, therefore, when learning, they may perceive themselves as slow learners even before they begin to learn.
It is believed that when the instructional styles of teachers are matched with the learning styles of the students, maximized learning is most likely ...

Mr. Porter ranks higher as he is the school district superintendent, while Mr. Weigand is a principal of an elementary school. However, the communication is also lacking as it is just one way.

My Views as a Teacher

My views as a teacher reflect the views of Abraham Maslow and Jean Piaget.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory indicates that people are motivated when their needs are met, and these needs are classified as physiological needs; safety needs; needs of love, affection, and belongingness; needs for esteem; and needs for self-actualization (Jelencic, 2011). When applied to teaching and education, students are motivated to learn when their needs are met.
As a teacher, I apply this theory by ensuring that my students’ basic needs are met. I will allow them to eat or drink in class under certain ...

Every culture recognizes the importance of education to uplift the status of one's living standards.

A method of learning that some sectors of society considers as an alternative to face-to-face instruction is home schooling, where parents take on the responsibility of educating their ...

The curriculum also successfully integrates the children’s behavior functioning (e.g. washing of hands and cleaning up), biological maturation (e.g. play time ...
