...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The study of science is essential. Science is the study of the world around us. Everything around us concerns science. Without it, it is impossible to get into medicine, engineering, architecture and other fields requiring technical expertise. Every sector recognizes an increasing contribution of the discipline to the progress of the modern world as well as its traditional standing as an element of humanistic and scientific education. Its importance as the key subject is common knowledge. Science has been recognized as a patent means of sharpening our competitive edge. Thus, science holds a dominating place in the curriculum. As mandated in the Philippine Constitution, it is the duty of the schools to develop scientific and technology efficiency among the pupils and the students. Thus, it is necessary to evolve a strong science program in all levels. So, the teaching of science should be effectively earned out so as to satisfy the National Development Goals. Science is a multifaceted subject, limitless in extent and depth, vital for science and technology, and rich in the cultural import. It offers a lot of challenges to an individual. In school, however, some students find the subject dull and difficult. More so, science in general, is even considered by many as uninteresting or boring subject if not difficult or not applicable into their daily lives. The performance of the pupils depends largely on quality of the teaching...

...Throughout most of the quarter I had to privilege to volunteer at Oak Ridge Elementary School in Mrs. Houghton’s third grade room. When I first walked into the room, I immediately could see the walls covered in posters on all four of the walls. The posters ranged from Be on Target posters to numbers for math with inspirational quotes with maybe a little artwork. In addition to the posters, there was a gigantic reading area in the opposite corner from the door. The kids, that range from ages 8 to 9 years old, were also throughout the room were hovered together in desks that have approximately four rows of eight and then one small table of four in the middle. When you counted up all the desks you would find that there were 24 beaming children...

Y. 2010 - 2011 A Research Proposal Presented to the Faculty of the College Department ________________________________ Quezon In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for Research 2 ________________________ October 2010 Chapter I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Computers are ubiquitous. As computers have become less expensive they have been purchased by more and more families for their homes. Because of this, many children begin to use computers at an early age. Even if computers are not available in their home, children almost certainly will begin to come into contact with computers in school. Some adults are amazed by how readily young children use computers. Many children find that using computers gives them a sense of power and accomplishment. And, unlike many adults whose first or primary contact with computers is work related, most children first use computers for entertainment purposes and games. This is by no means the only use that children have for computers. Because computer use is promoted in schools, and because computers are so ubiquitous, children have a great deal of exposure to them. Not everyone, however, is comfortable with the use of computers by young children. Some, including the Alliance for Childhood, have called for a halt to the...

...Customized Learning Theory Eric L. Maddox Liberty University According to Slavin (2012), Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences suggests the learning objectives and lessons should be in a variety of ways and he also lists nine intelligences. The educational system has revised the curriculum so teachers are encouraged to use many different teaching strategies within the class to include music, cooperative learning, role play (hands-on), discussion and many other strategies. This paper seeks to focus on incorporating games into the modern classroom and curriculum as a strategy for student learning following the 21st Century learner profile. The paper also examines playing games in classroom and its effects on the students’ communication skills. My customized learning theory involves playing games during a 90 minute learning block, but also using the brain-based strategies suggested by Dr. Marcia Tate in order to keep the class actively engaged. Understanding learning theories are vital to the classroom teacher and also to the student learner. The students in the modern day classrooms are very different from the 1990 to 2002 school students. The modern-day students think their lives revolve around cell-phone usage and technology; however, previously the students were taught lecture style. Many theories have been created to address how students learn and think; therefore, teachers have to be cognizant of the different ways to reach learners. Not every student will...

...[Kelly Koss was a junior Art major and Psychology minor at Kalamazoo College when she wrote this Observation Report (Spring 2003). Observation Report Kelly Koss Note to the reader: The names within this paper have been modified to protect the identities of the children involved in my observations. Observation #1: “John” and aggression Date and time: Wednesday April 16, 2003; 11:25-12:50 Setting: Playground for 1st/2nd grade recess 11:25-11:50, 3rd/4th grade 11:55-12:20, Kindergarten recess 12:25-12:50 Activities observed: Children climbing across the climbing rings, watching children pretend play at the tire mountain and under the large wooden play structure with the blue plastic slide. My interaction with the children: I spent a lot of time answering questions about my name and where I am from for the children. Example A: There was one child named “John” on the first recess who was racing across the rings with another child, lost the race and fell to the ground. He then started to cry and called himself a loser. I pulled him aside to try to talk to him to find out what was wrong. He kept telling me that he was a loser because he didn’t win the race and he never wins, and that “all my friends think I am a loser because I cry all the time. They make fun of me because I cry. They beat me up. I am a loser.” I tried to reassure him and tell him I did not think he was a loser. I explained how I thought one of the reasons he lost the race was because he had been climbing across...

...2015 Abstract 21st Century Skills of High School Students: Input to a Students Enhancement Program Background of the Study Theoretical Framework This study is anchored on the following theories. Dreyfus and Dreyfus theory of Skills Acquisition makes a distinction between ‘knowing that’ and ‘knowing how’. This theory presented that many of us are not conscious of our “knowing how” possibly because we take our knowing-how for granted. Another theory is the Authentic Assessment theory as cited by Dumaoang (2014) is the evaluation of student abilities in real world context. It is an appraisal of an of students analytical / creative skills. It is a tool that can be used to help students integrate what they learn and form of assessment that values the learning process as much as the final products. This study is also supported by Experiential Learning Theory. This theory builds on social and constructivist theories of learning but situate experience at the core of the learning process. It aim to understand the manners in which experiences-whether first or second hand-motivate learners and promote their learning. Therefore, learning is about meaningful experiences-in everyday life-that leads to a change in an individual’s knowledge and behaviours. The above-mentioned theories helped the researchers to connect skills acquisition through meaningful day to day experiences specially if appropriate assessment strategies are utilized.

...tournament has reasonably large prize money and attracts attention from the media, the officials usually wear shirts sponsored by the tournament sponsor. In smaller badminton tournaments held regionally or within a club, I doubt there that there are standard uniformed shirts given to the officials. Their clothing is mostly polo shirts, blazer and smart trousers. They must look different from any player that is playing the game so their appearance may vary. * Equipment needed - Typically a Badminton umpire need. A watch with timer and/or stopwatch; one yellow, and one red card (black card if you are a referee), clipboard and whistle for them to carry out their job of watching the badminton game. * Fitness required – No fitness required but good eyesight on the shuttle if needed for the umpire to call if the shuttle was in or out of the court. * Qualifications / knowledge required – An umpire would need to know the rules of badminton as well as needing to complete an official umpiring qualification and to take 2 theory exams on sports or particular sports. Their grades must be from C upwards. * Use of technology – Umpires usually used an electronic scoring system and an electronic shuttlecock sensor to make sure that the scoring is fair and to make sure every score given is correct. * Effective communication (voice, whistle, signals) – Usually a line judge verbally communicates with the other 2 officials including the umpire so that they are clear and communicate well with...

...the description of the various factors. The concept of motivation is a very interesting aspect in human life and I find the attempt to study and understand it even more intriguing. Over the years, researchers have tried to explain the dynamics of motivation and there have been many interesting theories put forward. In this paper, I will outline some of these ‘textbook’ theories and attempt to incorporate them to explain some of my experiences from my previous work as well as examples in everyday life situations in discussing the various factors that influence motivation. A long time ago, there was a belief that employees were just another input into the production process called “labor”, just like land or capital. However, this way of thinking was perhaps changed by the research of Elton Mayo commonly referred to as the “Hawthorn Studies” (Dickson, 1973). According to the study, employees are not motivated purely by money and employee behavior is linked to their attitudes (Dickson, 1973). This shifted the dynamics in employers’ needs to understand employee motivation and thus began the human relations approach to management. Defining Motivation Motivation is a complex theory and there are many ways of defining motivation due to the many different possible approaches: physiological, social, behavioral and cognitive. Different contemporary authors have contributed to help define the concept of motivation, which for this paper will be operationally defined as the forces...
