Autonomy is the second stage of Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development. It takes place in the early childhood and mainly focuses on the personal choices the children make. Children gain a little independence in this stage; they make their own decisions based on what they like. Toilet training is one of the best examples of autonomy. Erikson believed that learning how to maintain one’s own body fluids and the feel to control it is a great step to becoming autonomous. Other examples are having the choice in what foods they want to eat, what toy they want to play with, and what clothes they want to wear. Feelings of autonomy can increase when children interact more and more with people. Any child that gets through this stage automatically feel the sense of independency and feel super confident and if they don’t, they’ll feel shameful and doubtful. If the efforts lead to failure, ridicule, or criticism, the result is shame and self-doubt. Erikson believed that managing this conflict leads to the ego quality of will: a determination to exercise free choice; children can act with…

Autonomy refers to a characteristic of task that has a huge impact on employees’ psychological states, for example, a feeling of responsibility for job satisfaction and the work outcomes (Hackman & Oldham, 1980; Podsakoff et al., 2000). Every individual have the ability to seek the opportunities towards growth and development. It is not matter whether they are fail or success, but it depends on the features of the context, which they may looking forward as an opportunity that will help to develop themselves (Jarrod Haar and Roche 2010).…
The concept of autonomy is critically important to me in many contexts. Autonomy is our ability to be self-directed, independent and free from outside control. More specifically, Pink described autonomy in his book, Drive, as a concept that people become more productive as long as they are able to make choices between other factors: time, task, team, and technique. Being given the freedom to choose one's own direction in life is basic to human nature along with relatedness and competence. While both of the latter are important in fulfilling our needs to be productive, respected, and an important part of our social network, the idea of autonomy is one of significance due to its ability to contribute to our feeling of competence and also in a larger construct of relating to others.…
Another example of autonomy is choosing what type of medication or treatment they receive; they may have to take medication, but they choose whether to have it orally or injected, etc. for the safety of their child. Finally, an example of autonomy is their birth plan. Obviously, giving birth is inevitable, but they have the autonomy is to make their birth plan – they can decide if they want a natural birth with no pain relief, or if they want an epidural, TENS machine, etc.…
Freedom and autonomy has created a large sense of self in the people’s of Democratic nations today, mostly because it allows a change in social class. This chance of change creates hopes and dreams in the underclasses; which, creates a reason for them to work hard and drive forward the economy. In the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the world is controlled by teaching the population their morals and dreams through sleep education; hypnopaedia. Although it creates a society that differs much from any current, is it possible that some features such as a lack of innovation, change of morals, and technology could change to such an extent that the world could change to look like BNW.…
144). According to Wendy and Richard, children’s self-regulation is increased because of two separable dimensions in authoritative parenting, which are namely “autonomy support” and “structure”. Autonomy support uses techniques which encourage children to solve their problems independently (Wendy & Richard 1989, p. 144) while structure is defined as the clarity and consistency of the guidelines, rules, and expectations set by the parents (Wendy & Richard 1989, p. 144). In their study, Wendy and Richard found that children who valued “autonomy support” and “structure” had a higher self-esteem than others who did not value them because they were clearly motivated and they were constantly trained to manage their own problems. It enhanced school performance because it is essential to have confidence when approaching learning tasks in school such as homework, assignments, group projects and most importantly, presentations (Wendy & Richard 1989, p. 144).…

My philosophy on classroom management begins with learning and being familiar with the various rolls that a teacher plays on an everyday basis. I didn’t know until taking this course that a teacher assumes so many rolls during the day. He or she takes on rolls such as: a parent, a social worker, an advisor, a counselor, and a judge.…
My philosophy for the classroom will primarily be a student centered authority. I believe that students should learn as much as they can with hands on experience. To me children will have more fun discovering various facts and thoughts, nothing can compare to hands on experience. One of my children’s favorite teachers, Mrs. Adams, has her entire classroom decorated with various aquariums with all kinds of different reptiles, spiders and fish. These include a tarantula, a pacman frog, fire bellied toads, tree frogs, skink, albino corn snake, grass snake, geckos, and a variety of colorful fish. Most of the time she uses’s these and other animals in her teaching process. I believe this has kept the students more interested in learning. Not only did they get a hands on learning but it also kept them more interested and wanting to know more. My child would always come home excited about the lesson that was taught that day and always would want to talk about the day at school. I hope that one day I can be this kind of teacher, one that can influence children to love to learn.…
I went to a Catholic school when I was in high school in the Philippines. The maximum students in the classroom is up to 50 people. It has to be very quiet or else the teacher will assign a certain student to make a list of those who are noisy. The teacher mostly speaks in the classroom and students must wait for the teacher to signal if there are some questions. Students can not speak at each other while the class is still going because most instructors do not want to be interrupted. Also, stundents can asks questions but they just have to wait for the teacher to call their name and entertain them. If a student want to ask the teacher a question, they have to raise right hand and never say anything until the name is called. It is okay to help another student during a class and not during the test because of students talk to each other during a test, it is considered cheating automatically. The teacher wears a modest uniform from Mondays through Fridays. Also, students wears uniform all school days and it has to be modest as well. Students mostly arrive on time, if a student comes late, they must be accompanied by a parent or a guardian before the guard will let them in and talk to the dean to explain the reason of tardiness. Coming to school with three lates even if it's not consecutive, they will be punished to clean the school ground or the restrooms for the whole day. When the teacher enters the room, all students stands up and greets the teacher all together. Students have assigned seats but it depends on the teacher sometimes. During the Spanish coloniazation, the males are separated from the females. They can't be in the same classroom due to a very conservative culture, but nowadays both sexes are in the same classroom. We call the teacher by their marital status or "Ma'am and Sir" then followed by their lastname. Tests are given during the entire year, every three and a half months. The type of grading system in the Philippines depends with the school. But…
Nowadays, students control the classroom and disregard the teacher’s orders and authority.” Authority” - the power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience. Since students know that teachers cannot do anything more than send them out of class, teachers are left with an un-teachable classroom due to the distractions caused by “nuisances in class”. Students who are defiant or non-compliant can be the most challenging to teach. They frequently interrupt instruction, often do poorly academically, show disrespect and may show little motivation to learn.…
As an aspiring educator, I believe that in order to be the most effective teacher, I need to teach in a variety of ways. In doing so, I will help promote a more inclusive learning environment for all my students, by reaching their individual needs and optimal learning experiences; this will allow them to reach their fullest potentials. I have learned that as an educator I must assist each child within their educational journey and as I have developed my autonomous learning through tutoring, I want to guide each child through their own autonomous learning experience. Rather than educating in one specific way, I must introduce new methods and ideas within my tutoring, and future…
Every student has their own way of learning, some learn better in groups, and some work better alone. As stated in Source D, “One might even say that schools have never been essentially about individualized learning”, this statement shows the issues in classrooms based on their learning style. Although it is important conformity is practiced inside classrooms, it is also important to allow those a greater fan of individuality to practice…
