...person develop himself, his abilities, attitudes, and other forms of behavior, values in the society in which he lives. In connection with this, effective teaching plays an important role in order to absorbed knowledge. The difference between the terminal performance of the learner and his/her base level performance is normally attributed to effective teaching by means of teaching methodologies use by the teacher. Teacher factor is one of the strongest determinants of successful learning that contribute to the study habits of students. Study habits and teaching methodologies performed a very important role in the learning process. Through the advancement in our technology some changes occur in teaching procedures, the help of printed materials learning become complex. The skill in selecting methodologies in the context of certain lesson is critical. The teacher has mastered this ability through sharp and intensive observation of how students learn. Choosing on what teaching methodologies to be used can contribute on the study habits of the students. It is expected that when teachers used the best teaching method, students might study lessons easily. Psychologists and educational experts are aware of this situation and use their knowledge about learning, about techniques and procedures to study and apply it to teaching process. How can we obtain learnings by means of study habit? Salandanan (2005) asserts that, “[i]t includes the teachers’ to implement a particular methodology...

...grasped the concepts and how proficient they have really become in using the language. For this purpose an evaluator has to observe the teacher while she is actually teaching in the class by the use of the course book and the students when they are being taught. It will also help the evaluator to check the students’ level of motivation. A clear idea about the interest of the learners can be obtained by viewing the learners in the class when they are being taught by the use of the textbook. It also has to be seen whether they enjoyed the lecture or considered it to be a dull and useless one. Observation also aids in determining how active and attentive the students are in the class. New teachers are usually full of new ideas but with the passage of several years they fall back on previous lesson plans and do not introduce anything truly creative. Therefore, teachers need to evaluate their own teaching styles. Brown thinks “A teacher who wants to avoid getting into a rut- or to climb out of a rut into which he has fallen – should make a through and honest evaluation of his teaching methods” (Brown 1975, p 342). Observation of teaching styles of a teacher also helps the teacher for the evaluation of her own teaching methodology. According to Jack C. Richards use of textbooks by teachers actually represents “plans for teaching” as, …teachers use materials they transform them to suit the needs of particular groups of learners and...

...SON OF GOD In the beginning was the word….Those are the first words of the Gospel of John and the first words spoken by the old, beloved disciples in the movie Son of God. He’s recalling the wondrous days when he walked with the Christ, when he spoke with Him and ate with Him, when he watched Him die and saw Him rise again. He tells us that Jesus was surely the Son of God. With all that John saw, how could he think otherwise? And so, in his old age, he decides to tell us about it too so that we might believe this movie tell the story of Jesus birth, His miracles, His teaching, His torture, His death and His resurrection. It is good to tale again for the sake of some people who may not have yet heard it because they don’t go to church, who may never read the Bible, through this visual storytelling become a way of knowing Jesus and how He come to life. As such Jesus is kind, merciful, determined and brilliant. A man who seems indeed to be both fully human and fully divine. He is as John says “The light shining in the darkness.” The one who came to saves us all. He works miracles, and He preaches the Good news. This movie also depicts a compassionate Christ, who finds himself moved by the plight of humans and who refuses to condescend to them. Jesus tenderly touches the face of the disgraced adulterers and forgives her sins, moments after challenging the hypocrisy of her would-be killers. He sends a lame man walking after morally restoring him as well. Before nourishing...

The students in Ms Cucci classroom had severe disabilities, the disabilities range from students with Cerebral Palsy, ADHD, autism, and down syndrome. All of these students in this classroom have emotional or behavioral issues. Being in these classrooms made me realize how quickly the classroom atmosphere can change for each student and how quickly the lesson plan can change if a student is not understanding. After being able to observe and participate in three different classrooms with different grades and different disabilities, I was able to see many different modifications and accommodations. In Mr. Ruttler’s room their were many successful accommodations...

...1. Describe the system of education in the movie. To be able to fully describe the system of education in the movie “The Three Idiots”, one must know the educational system being implemented by the Indian government. Although some states in India have already used modern teaching methods such as creative learning by Howard Garner, Modern education in India is often criticized for being based on rote learning rather than problem solving. The system of education in the movie is Authoritarian because the teacher, in this case the university professor, is the law and the only authority in the process of learning inside the classroom. It is also is based on the Traditional Method because it emphasizes rote learning which was already replaced by other more effective teaching methods because of its limitation in developing higher learning skills in students. Instances in the movie have shown how the emphasis in rote learning has stifled the students’ full comprehension of a theory that also hampered the development of their creative abilities because they must always follow what is being prescribed them by their mentors. Insubordination will mean being rusticated from the school system. With this fact, it is no surprise that this dysfunctional engineering school system portrayed in the movie, pressures huge numbers of students into suicide. 2.

...graduate I want to eventually open my own daycare center but before that I will probably get some teaching done first. Researching about the most effective teaching methods will help me run a more beneficial daycare center in the future. My purpose: The purpose of my final research paper is to educate my audience of what the most effective teaching method(s) are. I want my reader to know what the benefits are for children whose daycare teachers use the Montessori teaching method. I will prove to them that the Montessori teaching methods are very beneficial to infant-toddler and primary students and that it should be one of the leading methods used. My working thesis and any assumptions: Childcare providers for children ages 0-4 should follow the Montessori teaching method because teaching methods used in children’s early ages has a long term impact on them. My approach to the subject of my paper: In the structure of my paper I will first define what a childcare/daycare is, what is actually considered to be a daycare. After I will tell about different types of teaching methods used and what some outcomes from previous studies have shown about different ones. I will then prove why the Montessori teaching method is the best one to use for children ages 0-4 and show the benefits that children will have from using this method in the long run. Finally, I will give examples of other teaching methods and compare and contrast them and provide my conclusion. My attended audience: My intended...

...Background of the Study Teaching is one of the complicated processes taking place in the schools and educational institutions. In traditional teaching model, one teacher is responsible for supervising all tasks of lessons over a specific time. The arrival of new strategies of teaching, issues of motivation, the satisfaction of students and academics’ needs and other factors contributing to successful teaching activities all are looking forward into the creative genius of a single teacher. The seemingly difficulty of addressing all these elements simultaneously by a single pedagogue appeals for a new alternative in the method of teaching. As we observe in our classroom, teachers frequently use the different methods, strategies and approaches in teaching that are applicable to their students need. For example, if the students cannot achieve to fully express their intentions or comprehend the meanings of messages, an approach should be selected that helps the student to understand the language grammar. Conversely, if the students need extra motivation, an approach with frequent changes might be proffered. If a learner does not know how to use the language grammar, he will have to rely on lexis, gestures, intonation or other nonverbal features to express his or her meanings. Thus, in order for the communication to exist, people have to know language and its rules, which we call "grammar". Grammar is fundamental to language, without grammar, language does...

...ECE311: Early Childhood Curriculum & Methods (BDH1414A) Instructor: Latisha Shipley May 5,2014 What and how we teach the children in our classroom is very important. In some cases small children whom are entering kindergarten or a school at a young age seem to be scared. They don't understand the change and for them sometimes it could be a frightening thing. Education may seem complex to small children but it is very important for each of them to succeed in anything they do. As teachers we have to be ready to face the fact that some children will be less forthcoming than others. Example children who are an only child may at times be more scared than other's because they may not have the experience that children who have siblings have. Where the sibling comes home from school and shares the exciting new things that they did at school. As teachers we have been there, we were too their age and felt the same excitement and fear that they feel. Thus we remember that this was our first experience at school and it is also so for these young children. The curriculum I have chosen is for the age group of pre-kindergarteners. Preschool education is very important because well as we know it is our very first step into the next twelve years of school education. At such a young age children look up to their parents and teachers to help guide them by giving them information that will be helpful in their future education experiences. These kids are expecting this information so...

Many reports before the Rose Review done in the year 2006 provide evidence of other methods used in teaching early reading. (Sheerman, 2009, p.36) Compares non-phonics and accurate systematic phonics programs and notes a slight difference in their effectiveness with non-phonics being on the lower margin. Other reports have proved beyond any reasonable doubt the existence of other strategies for teaching early reading. The studies reported some of the strategies as being more efficient than others. However, according to Annette Karmiloff-Smith (2009, p. 300), reading is a various area of knowledge with diverse needs that cannot be addressed by a single approach. Therefore, the teachers taking pupils through early reading must be familiar with various teaching strategies and understand when to apply the different methods. These teachers must also understand the reasons that contribute to the usage of particular teaching strategies (Adamuti-Trache & Robert, 2013). The above reports support the use of different approaches in contrary to systematic synthetic phonics. They both realize the diversity nature of children mind hence the difficulty of applying one approach in teaching the pupils how to read.
