...THE INFLUENCE OF SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS ABSTRACT The study aimed at finding out the influence of the environment on students' academic performance in selected secondary schools in Origbo Community ,Ife North Local Government Area. The need for the study arose from the fact that much as educators, policymakers and the general public have always wanted students’ academic outcomes to improve, the results in Origbo Community show that some schools have continued to register poor performance in National Exams. It was therefore important that a study be conducted to establish the extent to which the environment affects students' academic performance. The research sought to determine whether school infrastructure, instructional materials and teacher quality influence students’ academic performance(environmental factors) in any way affected academic performance of students. A cross sectional design was employed with a sample size of 302 senior four students who were randomly selected from eight secondary schools.

...Linsey Cessor EDUC 2253 Dr. Shahan January 28, 2015 Professional Practice Chapter 2: Question for Discussion 2. Why is membership in an ethnic group more important to some individuals than to others? What characteristics might an educator look for to determine a student’s ethnic background and its importance in that student’s life? * Individuals may have multiples reasons of being more in tuned to their ethnicity than others. Most are drawn to their ethnic group because that is what is familiar to them. When the elderly generation is a dominate part of their raising then the younger generation has more information about their heritage. * Others are not so luck to grow up with the elderly generation influence and have are disconnected with their ethnic groups. Some people are a merge of two different ethnic groups and this causes confusion for the individual. With the merging of different ethnic groups, some people tend to loners. Not ever finding that “prefect” ethnic group that they belong in. As an educator there are many characteristics that will reveal the ethnicity of a student such as a student’s gender, race and religion. However, with all of this being said I do not think that the ethnicity of a student is completely important for an effective teacher. An effective teacher teaches on the level of their students, and then begins helping the student’s excel. An effective teacher is able to teacher all the curriculum to the students without biases...

...I would like to become a prefect as I see this is an excellent opportunity to contribute back to this school, which had supported me greatly. Without deliberation it is clear that Holly Hall has contributed greatly to the person I am today, bright, determined and confident in my work, myself and my potential to be something I will be proud of. I know that I am strong enough to stand for what I believe in and for myself, nevertheless I know the importance of other opinions and an open mind. For both leading and working in a team I know I have the appropriate qualities to put me ahead; enthusiasm, confidence without arrogance, the ability to speak out and notably respect for those around me. I pride myself in commitment; the perseverance I show in my learning reflects my behaviour towards new hurdles. In school I find that if you don’t put the effort in to improve, then you won’t find anything to be proud of, anything to reflect on when looking back. This to me, is pointless. I’m constantly striving towards the next accomplishment; an achievement to aspire towards and push myself for. This motivation in myself is easy then to pass on to others. This dedication to perfecting myself and skills shines through in school. I excel in art, purely for my imagination and determination, as without my talents would be useless. Music is a big part of my life, I play a couple of instruments and sin, I find the notion of giving up on something you have already started rather nonsensical, so...

...the human body and its intricacies, the more I am fascinated by how it responds to illness and injury and how doctors can transform a patient's life. During my work experience at John Radcliffe Children’s Hospital, I spent time with medical students, junior doctors and consultants in different specialities, which gave me an overview of the healthcare system. In a multidisciplinary meeting for a child with complex regional pain syndrome, I recognised the importance of effective communication. With the expertise of different disciplines, a better understanding was gained of the patient's individual case and the treatment options available. I noticed that the style of communication is important to engage young children, which I applied while volunteering at Lighthouse Children's Camp. My learning proved effective as the children talked to me in confidence about their feelings regarding starting secondary school and I offered them reassurance and advice. Working as a healthcare assistant and phlebotomist at Crosby House Surgery has been an enjoyable challenge to engage with patients of varying ages and backgrounds. Helping out with different aspects of primary care has given me a broader...

...before reaching the end of high school. I have also been selected to lead my fellow school mates, in the position of a prefect and SRC member for the past 4 years, and hopefully will be able to keep that record for the entirety of my high school career. In school, I have set goals for myself, and the greatest of these goals was to gain entrance to the Carpe Diem society, a group that excels in academic performance. I failed to reach said standards in grades 8 and 9; however I have since been a member of the Carpe Diem society from the start of grade 10 to date, which is a great achievement for me. Aside from mental and academic performance, I also set a goal for my athletic performance. I set my sights on gaining a podium position; this has granted me the opportunity to represent my school at the KICCSSA; an athletics meeting of IEB schools from around the province. In my church, I have manage to integrate the use of technology in the running of kids ministry, as well as integrate the use of technology in youth and have been an active member in the AV as well as music team in the adult’s church.

...“Critique” Lehman Strauss’s article “Why God Became Man” details several arguments as to why the incarnation of Jesus Christ happened in the manner in which it did. The author states several truths that were affirmed by early Church doctrine at the Council of Chalcedon in A.D. 451. The Council of Chalcedon stated that Christ was both truly man and truly God. The author based on the topic selected and the use of biblical references has an evangelical Christian worldview and adheres to the understanding that the Bible is infallible and inspired, which he displays in this article. Furthermore, the author clearly displays dispensationalist views within his article by noting at the end, the time in which Christ will be seated on David’s throne and that Israel was not forgotten by the incarnation of the Son. A dispensationalist view is a belief there are two distinct peoples of God, which are the Church and Israel, which the Church did not replace. Strauss constructs his arguments by using the Bible to support whether or not something is God’s truth for if God reveals something in His own word then it must be true, because God does not lie or deceive, Numbers 23:19. Strauss uses seven points to establish a support for the incarnation of Christ, which are, He came to reveal God to man; He came to redeem man; He came to rescue the whole creation; He came to restore Israel and He came to reign. These seven points are used to reveal why and what Christ accomplished when...

...that all our activities are initiated by our instincts. Naturalism stresses the need to return to nature from artificiality. It is also concerned with natural self and believes that reality and nature are identical and beyond nature there is no reality .With the help of physical and chemical laws, naturalism explains the universe, the physical world, life and mind. This nature is governed by its own laws and man is regarded as the child of nature. It considers matter as superior to spirit and gives importance to scientific methods of observation and verification. MEANING OF NATURALISM The term naturalism, by its ordinary meaning, means ism laying emphasis nature in every field of education. Naturalism is a system which follows exclusion of whatever is spiritual, or indeed whatever is transcendental of experience from our philosophy of nature and man.

...words, actions and teachings of these men are so important that wars for the true ideology have been waged over their names for centuries. Who they were and their true nature though, is perhaps what is forgotten in this modern world. The history of Jesus of Nazareth is a case of conjecture and faith, however there does exist the commonly accepted history of his life. According to most scholars, Jesus was born sometime between 6 and 4 BCE. Most scholars accept this figure as it is reflected in the Christian scripture that Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great. Although there is no exact date known as to determine when Jesus was born, it is celebrated in most Christian faiths on December 25th on the holiday of Christmas. The ministry of Jesus is largely documented in what is known as the new testament. Comprised of the four canonical gospels as written by Jesus' followers, this is the most accepted account of Jesus' life. Although multiple gospels have been written by those mentioned in the canon stories, only the writings of the apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke & John are accepted as the true version of Jesus' life. It is commonly accepted that Jesus began his ministry at the age of...

...their day to day lives. The saints are our models of holiness and virtues into our lives as a pilgrim in this world. They inspire us and we also asked their intercessions in order to strengthen our faith and love to God. In order to follow Christ let us imitate the virtues that we can get from the life stories of the saints who are the living witness of God’s goodness and love. In this paper, I chose St. Ambrose as the subject of this research. Because when I read his short life story in the book entitled My first Book of Saints by Son of Immaculate Heart of Mary. I was fascinated on his life story on how he lives and serve his life as the Bishop of Milan. St. Ambrose was largely responsible for the rise of Christianity in the West, and he was very courageous and untiring defender of the independence of the Church from the state. Through this research, I want to know more about him his way of life and his importance in the early History of the Church. Most of the ideas of this research paper are extracted from the books about his life and teachings. 1. Life of St. Ambrose In this part of the paper, we will go to the life story of St. Ambrose his early life, his life before his election to the episcopacy, how he was elected...
