...Running Head: SCIENCE BORING AND HARD Why do Students Find Science Boring and Hard Submitted by Gianna LaTrice Jackson to Western Governors University, Utah on November 27, 2012 Science has always presented difficulties for students and teachers. Several things are thought to be correlated to students feeling about science and their abilities to comprehend the subject. Onocha, (1985) reported in one of his findings that teachers’ attitudes towards science is a significant predictor of pupils’ science achievement as well as their attitude. In this present paper, students find the discipline within science boring and hard. It is hypothesized that the role of the educator will have a greater effect on the student than the students past learning experiences. Also, Chidolue (1986) stated teachers’ attitudes towards Biology teaching is one of the major contributors towards explaining the variance in students’ cognitive achievement. While Odubunmi (1986) and Odunsi (1988) were able to confirm that teachers’ attitudes towards Integrated Science teaching affected their students’ attitudes and their ability to learn the subject and Oqunwuyi (2000) found significant causal relationships between the teachers’ attitude and students’ achievement in Integrated Science. The following literature reviews will make an effort to demonstrate and support the hypothesis. In the research article by Prokop, P., Tuncer, G., & Chuda, J. (2007) they address the following questions as...

According to Merriam-Webster, a nightmare is an evil spirit formerly thought to oppress people during sleep; a frightening dream that usually wakens the sleeper; something (as an experience, situation, or object) having the monstrous character of a nightmare or producing a feeling of anxiety or terror. Introduction I. Attention Getter: “Do you know the terror of he who falls asleep? To the very toes he is terrified, because the ground gives way under him, and the dream begins…” -Friedrich Nietzsche II. Thesis Statement: Nightmares are dreams that occur during (REM) sleep that results in feelings of strong terror, fear, distress or extreme anxiety. This phenomenon tends to occur in the latter part of the night and oftentimes awakens the sleeper, who is likely to recall the content of the dream (Psychology Today, 1991-2015). III. Preview: I am a junior in college, working on my B.S. of Science in Psychology. I do not have any formal training on this topic, but I have always been interested in what causes nightmares in adults and children, and different ways to cope with them. I have done some research on this topic and I hope I am able to shed some light on any questions you may have on it. A. Nightmares begin in children between the ages of 3 and 6 and decrease around age 10. B.

...regularly to avoid detection by the Russians—which taught physics and natural history as well as the forbidden subjects of Polish history and culture (Science in Poland). Because her father, a teacher of mathematics and physics, lost his savings through bad investment, she had to take work as a teacher and, at the same time, took part clandestinely in the nationalist "free university," reading in Polish to women workers. As girls could not attend universities in Russian-dominated Poland, Marie spent a year in the country with friends at her father's suggestion. Upon returning to her father's house in Warsaw the next summer, she began to earn her living through private tutoring. Her father, a science teacher, encouraged his daughter’s curiosity but could not afford to send her to college. At the age of 18, she took a post as governess, where she suffered an unhappy love affair. From her earnings, she was able to finance her sister...

...very effective way to gain the audience’s attention. In my opinion, the speaker gained my attention and he may have improved his speech by having more eye contact and giving us a presentation with more inflection in his voice and maybe even had a better introduction. The thesis of this speech was to tell a story of how a man became a survivor during one of the most trying times in the world, The Holocaust. He wanted to relay his story but also to tell us on how a man could have so much hate in his heart against a human people. The thesis was spot on for the occasion and the audience, to me you knew what you were going to this speech to hear about a man surviving the holocaust in a slave labor camp controlled by the Nazi’s, German soldiers with Hitler as their ruler. Also in this speech the thesis could have been based on how it is to overcome even the worst defining obstacles in your life. The speaker Mr. Phil Gans did not necessarily include a preview of main points however, he did show illustrations and had props to show some main points. For example the story of his father and the hat and maps of the travel he had to go through to try to remain hidden from the Nazi’s. For me it was easy to figure out the thesis due to these techniques. To me he told his...
