52). Teachers must be open to considering the child’s interests, allowing these interests guide the activities in the classroom, and providing access to tasks that will challenge learners to continue to grow and develop. Crain (2003) states, “If the child is enthusiastic about learning, she works at it very hard” (p. 12). By increasing student engagement, teachers will be providing students the opportunity to become a self-directed learner who strives to make connections and develop a deep understanding of the content. Student-centered education includes increased motivation for learning and an overall greater satisfaction with school in general. Çubukcu (2012) explains, “Student-centered teaching provides opportunities to develop students’ skills of transferring knowledge to other situations, triggering retention, and adapting a high motivation for learning” (p.…
Summary: In the essay, "Part-time Employment Undermines a Student's Commitment to School" by Laurence Steinberg, it explains how studies show that teenagers that work while attending school are more likely to loose their commitment to school. Steinberg tells the affects on students when they work more than twenty hours a week. His theory was that students are more susceptible to losing their interest in school, while working. They may have to work in the evening time, which can interfere with homework, sleep and diet. Steinberg also elaborated on how these students that work receive money that can make school seem less desirable. Also because they do receive money, they can use their extra money to become associated with drugs and alcohol.…

Students tend to become engaged in their classroom activities if they feel a sense of belonging, and when they feel their teacher cares about their well-being (Skinner & Belmont, 1993).

Most Youths have a different perspective than adults do about schooling. Most adults view schooling as an opportunity to become what you want in the career world. Visa-versa, the view students share towards schooling is that schooling is boring and a waste of time; some may even call it imprisonment. Adults tend to blame students for student’s lack of interest which discourages students and make schooling more boring and feel like more of a waste of time for themselves. The fact that adults have different views than students do on education shows us that we are teaching our kids that education isn’t important. Therefore, we need to address this issue by teaching our kids to value education.…

Emotional Availability (EA) will be assessed using the fourth edition of the Emotional Availability Scales (EA; Biringen, 2008b; 2008c) and will be coded from laboratory separation-reunion episodes. Its theoretical framework integrates attachment theory with perspectives of EA taking into account the affective qualities of the dyadic relationship. Two versions of EA coding will be used in the current study due to the variations in age (i.e., the infancy/early childhood version for participants aged 2 to 5 and the middle childhood/youth version for participants aged 6 to 8). Both versions are comprised of the six scales. Two scales evaluate aspects of child behaviour (responsiveness and involvement) and four scales which…

Post-war Australia 1945-75; consequently saw the development of more state schools to accommodate the rapidly growing population. Education was becoming more available, and was seen as a key means to achieve equality in society (Welch, 2010, p. 244). The government commitment to extending education opportunities was mainly due to the increased population due to migration and increased fertility in Australia (Welch, 2010, p. 243-44). However, 1985 brought an end of this development commitment by the government to just opening up more equal opportunities to an unchanged education had not worked.

In the chapter, emotion is described as the powerful nature of an emotional experience and how we break it down. There are six primary emotions, surprise, joy, disgust, anger, fear, and sadness. They are identified through unique and consistent behavioral displays across cultures. However, every culture has different impressions of what the primary emotions in their culture are. While Americans consistently name surprise, joy, love, anger, fear, and sadness as primary emotions, Chinese view primary emotions as shame and sad love, an attachment to former lovers. Hindu philosophy suggests there are nine primary emotions. Out of all these emotions, I am surprised disgust and shames are not among the primary. Shame is considered a key emotion in some non-Western cultures, but it is less likely to be considered a primary emotion in many Western cultures. Different situations evoke different emotions in different cultures too, such as; a pork chop served for dinner might bring on disgust in the majority of people in Saudi Arabia, while it is likely to bring sheer happiness in many people in the United States. I feel shame and disgust a lot, of course it also states in the book that disgust is a blended emotion.…
