...Is homework harmful or helpful? Since many centuries as the education system has developed one thing remained the same i.e. homework. Every student gets homework whether he is in primary level or he is studying Master’s program. There are many debate going on weather homework is good or bad. I think Homework is bad for student and it may sometimes prove to be dangerous to his life. Firstly, many schools think homework is good for students as they think it keep mind engage and helps to make student sharp. They also think that homework helps to build patience and develops the problem solving skill so they support giving more homework. Here some of the thing may be true but what they don’t know is that homework cause death. Yes, there are many case where homework caused death. One of the case is of China where “In Jiangxi, 3 primary school girls hold hands and jump off a building to commit suicide because of too much homework [sic]”. Here three girl died because they were unable to finish their homework. Secondly, many researcher have found that homework helped to increase the productivity of student. But they neglect the fact that too much homework caused counterproductive as well “Pope and her colleagues found that excess homework can diminish its effectiveness and even be counterproductive. The researchers cite prior research indicating that homework benefits plateau at about two hours per night, and that 90 minutes to two and a half hours is optimal for high school...

...NBT1 (1114): Task 1 By: Ashlyn Fellman Student ID# 000298280 Introduction A short overview of Ms. Smith’s classroom scenario describes the students as diverse in their maturity level and also their academic and social skills. Ms. Smith requests that students turn in their homework at the beginning of school on the right side of her desk. She also asks that students pick up their graded work from the basket on the left side of her desk in the morning. The students that don’t do either of them within the set amount of time, must ask Ms. Smith about an extension or for their graded assignment if possible. Ms. Smith will let students appeal their grades if they think there is a grading mistake. In order to make a formal appeal, they must write 1-2 sentences explaining why they think there is a mistake. They need to have support and the original answer stapled to the back. To find out the effectiveness of Ms. Smith’s homework policy for my 4th grade students, we need to consider whether her policy establishes and maintains three critical points in classroom management and learning. The three critical points are 1.) positive social interaction between students, teachers, and parents, 2.) motivation, and 3.) active engagement. I discovered that Ms. Smith’s policy could go in either point but it depends on how she communicates with the students and parents. If she is as strict as she sounds in her written policy and how long it is, some students and parents might...

It is to compare and contrast three therapeutic interventions used to treat the chosen disorder; comparing measures of effectiveness, such as validity, efficacy, symptom and behavior management, and recidivism. One therapy should be cognitive in nature, one pharmacological in nature, and the third should be an alternative therapeutic treatment. This paper will identify common symptoms associated with the disorder, and rates of symptom reduction or management as reported with the three treatments. It will discuss what approach this author would use to treat this disorder based on the research used to develop this paper; and why. It will also analyze the neurophysiological underpinnings of disorders and diseases, as well as examine contemporary attitudes towards the three treatments selected. For the purposes of this paper, anxiety will be the chosen disorder. It is a psychological disorder with a variety of symptoms and specific types of anxiety.

...Behavioral therapy, alone or along with ADHD medication, can provide behavior management skills to the child or adolescent and the parent (i.e., can be an effective treatment).Behavioral therapy in children can take many forms, but it usually involves improving a particular behavior, for instance, homework and sports skills. One type of behavioral therapy involves summer treatment programs (STPs). STPs are rigorous programs that last six through nine weeks and focus on a child/adolescent’s deficient behaviors (Fabiano, Schatz, & Pelham, 2014). Because particular behaviors in their daily activities are targeted, positive results are seen in the child/adolescent (Fabiano et al., 2014). The children and adolescents are placed in groups with children...

...It has been said that the average American child will devote countless hours at home to homework and all of its components throughout the entirety of their high school career. Schools across America have differing views on the common practice of assigning extra work outside of the classroom. Some schools rally behind the assignment of the work by making claims that homework reinforces the lessons taught in class. Other schools want to do away with homework entirely, claiming that it takes away free time from children and does little when it comes to improvement. Some schools, however, have no definite stance on their take with homework; they are neither in favor nor against it and leave the assignment of work up to the discretion of the teacher....

...Jennifer Walden Week 2 Sunday, 19 January Chapter 3 - Homework #2 - Compare and contrast managerial efficiency and effectiveness Managerial effectiveness focus is accomplishing the end objective and as a result takes into thought and the up-and-downs that may change in the future. Managerial efficiency is concerned with the current status. Thinking about the future and addition or eliminating any resources might concern the current state of efficiency. In other words management efficiency is trying to do the things in the right way where management effectiveness is trying to do the right things. #3 – Identify the key factors in cultural change Information – this is to provide people with information or ability to gather information.

...somewhere else. Life is a constant challenge to be one-and-a-half places at once, doing two or three things at once. As I go through my day I find myself doing two or three things at a time, multitasking, as I believe as they refer to it, often with the use of some type of technology I have: my IPod, phone, or mini laptop with me all the time. When I work out, I keep an eye on my crawling infant son, as I use the DVD player and talk to his dad on the IPod. Other times I cook dinner, while helping my other son with his homework, and maybe check an email or two, and look up a recipe…well that about sums up the idea hectic life style for most people. What I’m actually doing is a series of tasks one at a time and switching constantly between them. The problem with serial tasking is that it leads to lower quality and less productivity. The rice came out a little overcooked, I think I might have sent the wrong email to the wrong person, and we’re still working on the homework. If concentrating on one thing at a time, I would have had a better chance to do more tasks correctly. Technology’s influence on us is greater than ever before; we are ever connected by cell phones, laptops, television. We spend time checking social media and emails on these devices. This is true in adults over thirty who often grew up without these devices as children. The use of technological devices is even more prevalent in the younger generations, We all go through it, there is too much to do and not enough...

There would be a lot of distractions like my son and family while trying to study or complete my assignment. My job can be another one if they ask me to work over time when I need to complete my assignments. Some other distractions would be TV., phone, video games, and just not concentrating on my homework. 3. What actions can you take to manage and eliminate distractions? The way to manage and eliminate distractions would be to be on the alert of external distractions. If you know the spot you have picked to try to complete your work or try to study and you know there will be distractions that is probably not a good place to try to concentrate. 4.

...This assignment will discuss the application of the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in mental health nursing with reference to its principles and those of the Recovery Model. A brief discussion of CBT’s historical and developmental background in the management of mental health problems relating to the principles of recovery model will first be outlined. Subsequently, the range of treatment modalities used for depression preceding the start of CBT will be discussed with reference to the recovery model. The principles of CBT will then be evaluated and two CBT approaches used with depression will be explored giving a rationale for choosing them. Within the context of mental health care provision, limitations of CBT will then be explored. The assignment will conclude with highlighting the importance of adapting and using CBT approaches and the future development of new models of nursing practice. Confidentiality will be maintained throughout, in line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC, 2008). A list of appropriate literature and references will be provided. CBT is a psychological and behavioural treatment therapy that seeks to identify, evaluate and restructure dysfunctional beliefs, thoughts and emotional disturbances focusing on the here-and-now principle for conditions such as anxiety and depression (Bennett, 2011). It is based on the idea that the way people think is affected by their thoughts, beliefs and behaviour, hence helping clients to acknowledge how this...

However, whether or not the application of these concepts in educational sector in Nepalese context is relevant is a matter of concern; particularly in absence of adequate research findings.

...Homework is an issue that affects both students and teachers on a daily basis. As teachers we must expect great things from our students and for our students to achieve great things, we need them to study and do work at home to help emphasize new information and concepts being taught in the classroom. Teachers must teach self- motivation and actively engage their students to do homework and study on a nightly basis. For students as well as their families homework can often be seen as chore that they must find time for between afterschool activities, their parents work schedules, and just wanting to play. Teachers must find just the right balance of homework to help reinforce what is being taught in the classroom while allowing for family time as well as accommodating the busy schedules many American’s face. Ms. Zalogwe has a zero-tolerance homework policy due to problems with students and homework in the past. She clearly lays out the policy at the beginning of the year and sends parents a handout so that they are also informed of her policies. It is important as a teacher to clearly explain to students as well as their parents exactly what is expected from them. I do believe a teacher should allow for some flexibility in their homework policies, while at the same time teaching self-motivation. Homework should reinforce what is being taught in the classroom and allow for positive social interaction. Homework should accommodate the varying learning levels found in the classroom...

...Case Conceptualization using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Michelle Banks Liberty University Abstract Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, problem-focused, and goal-orientated form of psychotherapy. CBT is a form of treatment that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Dysfunctional automatic thoughts, maladaptive assumptions, and maladaptive behaviors are three focuses of CBT. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most extensively researched forms of psychotherapy. There are various ethical issues and several multi-cultural issues that need to be considered with CBT case formulation. Intake discussions with client and analysis of her assessment information suggest a pattern of dysfunctional automatic thoughts, maladaptive assumptions, and maladaptive behaviors. CBT techniques that will be used with client are behavioral activation, monitoring automatic thoughts, and exposure therapy. There may be spiritual challenges in utilizing Christian counseling with CBT. CBT and Christian counseling have are both compatible and incompatible. Case Conceptualization using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, problem-focused, and goal-orientated form of psychotherapy (Beck, 2011). CBT is not one specific treatment approach; rather it includes a combination of elements from cognitive, behavior, and emotion therapy (Murdock, 2013). CBT is a continuously evolving theory...
