...Study Sleep is an integrated part of human health and life and is crucial for learning, performance, and physical and mental health. Sleep deprivation is a serious problem facing individuals in many critical societal roles. It is the condition of not having enough sleep; it can be either chronic or acute. A chronic sleep restricted state can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness and weight loss or weight gain. It adversely affects the brain and cognitive function. Few studies have compared the effects of acute total sleep deprivation and chronic partial sleep restriction. Complete absence of sleep over long periods is impossible for humans to achieve (unless they suffer from fatal familial insomnia); brief micro sleeps cannot be avoided. A National Sleep Foundation survey found that college/university-aged students get an average of 6.7 hours of sleep each night. Sleep deprivation is common in first year college students as they adjust to the stress and social activities of college life. A study performed by the Department of Psychology at the National Chung Cheng University in Taiwan concluded that freshmen received the shortest amount of sleep during the week. In 1997 the University of Minnesota did research that compared students who went to school at 7:15 am and those who went to school at 8:40 am. They found that students who went to school at 8:40 got higher grades and more sleep on weekday nights. One in four U.S. high school students admits to falling asleep in...

It is one thing an individual could be proud of. The statistics were shocking for a culture that prizes education.

...sun, without knowing that there are a lot of effects of playing these games that are more than what they think. In 2006, Luke Ahearn stated that “Game development is booming! In the past few years many books have been written, more information than ever is available on the internet, and many colleges are offering courses – even degrees – in game development.” In addition, Adams & Rolling (2007) stated that games are created to serve a purpose and they are related to the human desire for play and our capacity to pretend. Also video games are forms of art, thus aesthetics are part of their design. It’s also shown in some studies that computer gaming helps the brain, especially to the young at age, to develop their logic skills. “Computer-based video games can clearly facilitate students’ learning performance. This finding indicated that computer-based video game playing not only can improve participants’ fact differentiation/recall processes, but also promotes problem-solving skills by recognizing multiple solutions for problems.” (Chuang & Chen, 2009, p.7). In addition, playing computer games according to some research is beneficial. It enables the mind of the players to be more active, especially those puzzle-based games. It helps the player to come up with decisions in tight situations, especially those adventure games that keep the players to be alert, active and strategic. “This approach is to encourage student involvement by rewarding desirable behavior, including...

...problems and are increasingly focus on wellness, an area of caring that encompasses nursing’s unique knowledge and abilities. Nursing is rich in tradition, which is used to develop and redefine both the art and science of nursing. Furthermore, nursing is increasingly being recognized as scholarly with academic qualifications, research, and publication specific to nursing is increasingly becoming more widely accepted and respected. Background of the Study One of the major issues in nursing currently involves nursing education. Nursing profession provides a single route for the educational preparation of its practitioners. However, the development of nursing as a profession has resulted in three major educational routes that prepare graduates to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for registered nursing. The three traditional educational avenues that prepare men and women for registered nursing are hospital-based diploma programs, 2-year associate degree programs (primarily found at junior and community colleges), and baccalaureate programs (offered at 4-year colleges and universities). (Ellis and Hartley, 2004). The Bulacan State University-College of Nursing which was organized and established in December 2003, by virtue of Resolution No. 65, s. 2003, in response to the growing demand for highly qualified and competitive nurses to meet the health necessities of the society, both local and international has currently offering Nursing program...

...habits enable students to accomplish more in a comparative shorter time to finish the school requirements and at the same time enjoy life. Wide variations have been universally noted in the methods of studying typically practiced by the students. The time of day preferred, time laps between study sessions, noise or music as background, physically and emotionally condition when studying, are but few of many factors which may vary in every conquerable way among individual. According to Horton-Murillo (1992), in academic achievement, every child is unique. His learning style is one aspect of his uniqueness. Teachers must recognize the knowledge and respect in every child’s individual learning style. Learning styles include cognitive, effective, and physiological domains. Learners have individual differences; each has inner strength and capacities. Knowing this will help the learners where they would engage themselves to acquire effective learning. Studying plays a vital role in the attainment of the educational goals of the students. Some teachers wonder why some of their students are not making any significant progress in their work. Probably one factor behind this situation is that most teachers failed to help their students to acquire the needed attitude towards the class. Study and application of the students are needed to have a successful learning and effective teaching. The extent of students learning in academics may be determined by the grades a student earns for a...

...undertaken with a sample of lecturers from Faculty of Business Management in Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam and Puncak Alam Campus, including male and female lecturers. Besides, a meta-analysis of 59 studies by Van Rooy and Viswesvaran (2004) found that emotional intelligence correlated moderately with job performance. According to Hargrevas (2001), both teaching and learning are not only concerned with knowledge, cognition and skills, but they are also emotional practices. Dewey highlighted that an educator ought to “have the sympathetic understanding of individuals as individuals which gives him an idea of what is actually going on in the minds of those who are learning” (Dewey [1938]” 1997, p. 39). Harkin (1998) found that, “effective behaviors are the most important determinants of student satisfaction with educator,” through “recognizing individuals, listening to students, showing respect, being friendly, sharing a joke, making some self-disclosure”. In Working with Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman writes: “Our level of emotional intelligence is not fixed genetically, nor does it develop only in early childhood. Unlike IQ, which changes little after our teen years, emotional intelligence seems to be largely learned, and it continues to develop as we go...

...STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AS INFLUENCED BY THE USE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES AND OTHER ONLINE ACTIVITIES Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study In this age of globalization, the advent of internet is something that has shaken almost all spheres of personal, social and professional human life. Wikipedia.org, 2012 cited that with the rapid growth of people who use or have access to the Internet, millions of people can stay connected together using the web provision called Social Networking Sites (SNSs). According to Chelly and Mataillet, 2012 that social networking sites are interactive web links that give people an opportunity to create, share and publish information, build communities and communicate around the world. Specifically, social networking is a common online activity that allows people to communicate with those they would not usually have contact with and this communication includes information, news, ideas, pictures, technology, cultural practices, and anything else that people can say to each other in face to face interactions (wikia.com, 2012). Moreover, SNSs provide place for other online activities like searching information, gaming, shopping, viewing videos, listening music, uploading and viewing pictures, reading posts, blogging, and online banking; and, those activities are positively the reason why many students are interested in checking out these sites (Asilo et al, 2010). Indeed, a study in the USA revealed that teenagers are keen...

...A CASE STUDY OF SCHOOL - RELATED FACTORS AFFECTING NIGERIAN SECONDARY SCHOOL PUPILS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE By Dr. Olaniyi Bojuwoye ABSTRACT A ten-item questionnaire containing various descriptions of school-related characteristic which have been found to adversely affect pupils academic performance was administered on 809 teachers and 1012 students of secondary schools from ten randomly selected states in Nigeria. The respondents ranked the characteristics in terms of their degree of effect on pupil academic performance. The result showed that lack of resource materials for teaching, instructional strategies, teacher shortages and teachers’ attitude to work were rated more highly than other characteristics. The result further showed that while the teachers considered lack of resource materials for teaching as having the greatest degree of effect on pupils academic performance, the students on the other hand considered poor instructional strategies as having the greatest degree of effect on pupil academic performance. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND LITERATURE On attaining Independence status as a nation in 1960 what seemed a major concern to most Nigerian leaders then was how education would be accessible to all citizens of the newly created nation. Education was seen as the necessary instrument immediately and essentially for the consolidation of the independence, for securing the new nation against neocolonianism and for making workable the newly established self government in a...

...Many students around the world today focus mainly one thing while they are in school; Career and income, but how do you achieve that? How does one get the career they want and the income they yearn? The answer is education several countries are known for their exceptional performance in academics and the pressure related to their education. Among those countries are China, India and Japan. These three countries share a lot in common; exceptionally bright students and a very rigorous education system that showers students with pressure from parents to perform exceptional in school. Anita Desai, who is the author of Studies in the Park, shows us how the much education is important in India. Studies in the Park is about a young man named Suno. Suno is ready to apply for college, but before he goes into college, he must pass the entrance exams for his college. Suno undergoes pressure from his parents to study hard and pass the entrance exams. Suno is always reminded from his parents that he expects good results from him and he should just be studying. Suno starts to get fed up with all the talks and his loud home, so he tries and find a new place to go and study; The Park. At the park he meets other students who are just like him; tired of all the noise at home and fed up from their parents nagging at them to study. Anita Desai’s Studies in the Park undoubtedly connects with the importance of education worldwide, pressure placed on students for education and the pressure for incentives...
