...Educational Psychology Christian School Case Study Student’s name Course name and number Instructor’s name Date of submission Educational Psychology Christian School Case Study A Concise Account of A Classroom Scenario Describing the Student Behaviours and What the Teacher Responded To and Encouraged the Behaviours In a classroom, students usually behave differently depending on different factors that have a contribution to their behaviours, be it good or bad. There are those who show much attention in class and are much focused on their studies. They usually show better performance in their class work as well as in the overall results of the exams done at the end of each semester. These students portraying good behaviours are always neatly dressed in clean and decent clothes. They arrive in class earlier than the scheduled time for the lessons and are ready to learn new ideas from the teachers. In case of late arrival n class the students has sensible reasons for lateness which he or she presents to the teacher in a humble way. The students are calm and tried as much as possible not to engage in indiscipline acts. In case of a fight or quarrel between them and other students, they opt for reconciliation instead of fighting back. They therefore tend to live a moral life with a very strong Christian foundation emulating the life of Christ (Lambert 1997). The other group of students portrays a different kind of behaviour from the one explained above. They are usually cunning...

...Reviewing “A Survey of Higher Education Programs in Nine States” Cecilia Clark Liberty University With all the students graduating from teacher education programs each year, one may wonder about the quality of educators they are producing. Are these educators qualified to handle the stressors and challenges associated with leading and developing today’s youth? Furthermore, are these educators prepared to face the tests associated with training the early childhood education community? Proper early childhood development and education is critical to a child’s success down the line. How educators react to early childhood behavioral, physical and emotional issues is a precursor to classroom success. The research of Hemmenter, Santos and Ostrosky as discussed in the article “Preparing Early Childhood Educator to Address Young Children’s Social-Emotional Development and Challenging Behavior: A Survey of Higher Education Programs in Nine States” sets out to evaluate teacher education programs in search of answers to such questions. As with all research, the higher education programs survey (2008) seeks to explore and possibly identify solutions to an issue. In this case, that issue is the preparedness of educators to handle “the growing number of children who begin elementary school without the emotional, social, and behavioral skills necessary for future success (Hemmenter, Santos & Ostrosky, p. 321).” To answer this question, Hemmenter, Santos and Ostrosky, identified...

...Running Head: NOTES 1 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF EDUCATION FAITH, FREEDOM, AND PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES Session 1 Notes Legally Supported Abington School District v. Schempp Many people think this is the case that the Bible had been thrown out of public schools, but it was really the type of Bible reading that had been thrown out of Schools. There was a PA law that said, “At least ten verses from the Holy Bible shall be read, without comment, at the opening of each public school on each school day. Any child shall be excused from such Bible reading, or attending such Bible reading, upon the written request of his parent or guardian.” Edward Schempp challenged this law saying that the state should not be making Bible reading mandatory. The Supreme Court favored Schempp and declared “this type” of Bible reading in the public schools to be unconstitutional. They did however say, “It certainly may be said that the Bible is worthy of study for its literary and historic qualities.” Florey v. Sioux Falls School District This federal case dealt with Religious Holidays. The Sioux Falls school policy read, “Music, art, literature, and drama having religious themes or basis are permitted as part of the curriculum for school sponsored activities and programs if presented in a prudent and objective manner and as a traditional part of the cultural and religious heritage of the particular holiday.” ...

...Islamic Civilization Essay Fitzgerald argues strongly that the study of religion does not improve our understanding of societies, but labels them into the structures we associate with Western Christianity. He also argues that religion is not a distinctive phenomenon and should not have its own analytical category. He raises the question of whether or not there is a systematic way of distinguishing between the secular and the non-secular. He also raises the question of whether or not there is a fixed definition of the term religion, if that term is imbued in Western Christian bias, and the confusions that result in this analytically empty but ideologically loaded term. This term is used in so many different contexts that it has no clear meaning. Fitzgerald says that “the word ‘religion’ is analytically redundant and even misleading” (Fitzgerald 5), because religion refers to a “belief in gods or the supernatural” (Fitzgerald 5), and it was of “traditional European usage” (5). Fitzgerald claims that people have “self-consciously attempted to transform the meaning of religion…and extend it as a cross-cultural category” (Fitzgerald 5). The problem is that people have been incorrectly labeling cross-cultural categories under one term ‘religion,’ that imbues Western Christian views that do not accurately reflect the principles of many cultures. According to Fitzgerald, “working with the blurred and yet ideologically loaded concept of ‘religion’ as a starting point can confuse...

...Partial Fulfillment of ITEC 55: Systems Analysis and Design (SAD) Baby Dolphin’s Social Learning Network for the Elementary Department of Philippine Christian University Dasmarinas Campus Submitted to: Edilberto O. Solis Jr. Instructor Submitted by: Bansale, Joseph B. Mendoza, Jennina L. Vega Blessed Joy A. Date submitted: September 30, 2013 I. Introduction Background of the Study Learning Management System (LMS) is responsible for “learning” activities. Online learning tasks can be performed at any time or place provided they have Internet access. Online learning environments thus differ significantly from traditional learning environments, where teachers and students must meet regularly at a specific place and time. Online learners become more free, flexible and convenient in time and location of learning. The Philippine Christian University (PCU) elementary school had truly gone a long way it had when it first opened in 1971. Today, it boasts of considerable increase in number of pupils and teachers, as well, thus fulfilling the dreams of the founders of the institution. Indeed, it is a legend turned into reality! Elementary Department indeed is pride and big assets of Philippine Christian University as a whole. Just like any other school in the whole world, Philippine Christian University has a definite problem. It may not be a big problem as you simply look into it, but the more you look into it deeply, you will realize that it is...

...|Assignment #2 | |Educational Issues and Social Change I: Historical Social Perspectives | Assignment #2 Question #1 Compare the “hidden curriculum” identified by S. Contenta with the underlying norms and values of “Indian education” highlighted in the video the Mission school syndrome and in the readings by Titley, Levaque, Gresko and Wilson. (750-1000 word) Although education was meant for all children, education for Aboriginal children clearly had a hidden curriculum. It has been mentioned in all of the readings and the movie that the main objective was to civilize them into the White culture which included the teaching of the English Language (reading, writing and speaking), religion, agriculture and other trade skills necessary to live in a “White’s man world”, where “the primary motive was to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”[1] However, the interpretation of the events of those days differs in perspective between the religious groups and the Native people. As Europeans immigrated to Canada and settled on the lands where Aboriginals hunted and lived, themselves hunting the same animals as the Natives (for sport rather than survival) and restricting the territory forcing Aboriginals onto reserves or residential schools. The Whites did not understand this way of life even thinking...

...situations concerning, children’s education, polygamy and religious freedom, and individuals rights concerning discrimination; all while considering the obligation of responsibility that Americans have. To begin, an ethical dilemma presented surrounds children’s education and the ideologies that pertain to what is deemed the responsibility of the parents by educational institutes, but also the flipside of the rights that parents should have in that education (Van Camp, 2014). Over the years it has become more common that the parents are pursuing their right to educate their children and/or provide an education of their choosing from language, schools outside of public, and religion (Van Camp, 2014). In many instances, court proceedings have sided with parental rights based on the Kantian premise of autonomy and the parents objections that the expectations set by the educational system dismissed the parent’s freedoms and rights to educate their children based on personal values and beliefs (Van Camp, 2014). With this in mind, the judicial system was presented in 2005 with a case in which a renowned University was being sued by the Christian association, the Christian educational establishment, and a group of students from the Christian educational establishment (Van Camp, 2014). In order for a student to be given consideration for admission the University requires that a certain curriculum is finished throughout high school (Van Camp, 2014). The Christian educational establishment seems...

...religion/denomination feel threatened by other groups/religions/denominations. In this case, members feel there is no other doctrine better than theirs and they will fight “tooth and nail” to safe-guard their doctrine. Indoctrination “refers to teaching aimed at making the learner believe in what they have learned in such a way that nothing, not even good counter reasons, can make them change their minds about what they learned” (Simuchimba 2008: 79). Philosophy is the seeing/viewing or understanding of life with its different aspects in an individual’s way or sometimes there could be a group of people viewing things the same way or rather they agree with each other’s ideas. Philosophy of Education then is the way an individual values education, especially formal education. Msango et al in (Tembo 2000: 33) define Philosophy of Education as: A critical and systematic intellectual endeavour to see education as a whole and as an integral part of men’s culture .... any philosophy dealing with or applied to the process of public or private education and used as a basis for the general determination, interpretation and evaluation of educational problems having to do with objectives, practices and outcomes, child and social needs; materials of study and all other aspects of the field. “Philosophy of Religious Education deals with any problems and issues in the Philosophy of Education that affects Religious Education as a curriculum subject” (Simuchimba 2008: 2).

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Education is the action or process of educating or being educated. But being educated not only means that you have learned all the knowledge you may need to succeed in life. There are factors that define success, acquiring all the learning and knowledge we may need and of course having the right attitude and proper values in facing all the challenges that we may encounter in life. Family is the basic unit of the society, our first school, our first teacher where in we obtained the foundation of our learning. At our early age, our parents never taught us the figures of speech or even idioms; they never tell us the law of gravity or even the logic behind of the law of supply and demand; they did not teach us to find the x and y in math. Instead, the first thing they taught us is how to pray, kissing the hand of elders (Pagmamano) which is sign of being respectful and how to be good with others through giving (generosity). The family is the place where we can have the best learning and that is being a good person. Besides the family, the school is another social unit that gives values education among children. Parents entrust their children to the school to perform significant tasks of developing children's potential to prepare them for active participation in the future. The teacher is the most important element in the educational success of the child in school. But as the child grows in all aspects, changes occur...

Prayers Fasting Pressurise Government Organise Campaigns Collect Money Hold Vigils Why do Christians feel it is their job to help the needy? Christians believe God loves the world and all that is in it. Christians believe that we are all God’s creation, so should all be treated equally. Christians follow Jesus’ example – as he mixed with and respected those who were poor and despised by others. Christians think that Jesus can be seen in everyone, so to help them is to help him.
