...ACADEMIC PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY ACCOUNTANCY STUDENTS CHAPTER 1 PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF LI TERATURE Introduction The continuous learning of students through the help of books, professors and even internet is a mere fact which shows that knowledge still flourish in our humanity. Thus, different students have different views and ways of understanding such transmitted information and studies. Life as a student is said to be fun yet also stressful. Requirements, research works, reports and examinations abound student’s life especially during college verve. Every student knows the terror of examination. Learners have borne the pallor of midnight cramming and struggled through the anxiety before and the forced euphoria after their baptism by fire. There are probably more mental breakdowns on campus because of certain phobias and circumstances. These said breakdowns and problems of the students can be detected through examinations. Behavior therapy literature is replete with studies that report success in desensitizing people to the fear of exams. School is really a major hurdle for most families. When children succeed there, everyone is happy; but when they bring their failures home with them, parents relive their own childhood frustration with education. Such academic problems should be recognized and should also be given proper attention to aid students. The researchers...

RONNIE G. CAINGLET A research paper submitted to the New Era University research center Hanz Lumba Christine Keith Tercias Radnan Oneza Herminia Salamat Donna Valenzuela Shaira Martinez Marko Capili March 2013 IV-LEVI I. Background of the Study Students all over the world face a number of problems which dishearten them. There are so many issues they have to deal with- study, time, money, relationships, job hopes, and more. Parent’s previous experience and education does not always equip them in dealing with such pressures. Many students will not admit their problems due to various reasons and this may eventually hamper a student’s psyche. In Metro Manila, the most common problem a student encounter is their difficulty with certain academic subjects. Nowadays, most schools have five major subjects- Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, English, and Filipino. Although different opinions are made regarding these subjects, it is evident that certain factors affect the level of difficulty of the said subjects. One is the teaching method of the teachers. It is possible that the techniques, including the materials such as the visual aids or presentations used by the teachers, are not effective. Second...

...at the Barbados Community College. In doing so there could be many challenges that accompany this. Students, whether part-time or full-time, are affected by the issues they encounter. Some of these challenges can be solved by adopting the following guidelines listed below. One of the major challenges students are faced with, especially part-time students, is financial difficulties. Tuition costs for part-time students are far greater compared to the tuition cost of full-time students. For example, A three-year associate degree for a local student, full-time, costs six hundred and thirty dollars while a three-year associate degree for a local student, part-time, costs five thousand dollars. As a result of these high prices, some students were forced to withdraw from programs. In addition, students have to purchase books and or materials which varies between one to four hundred dollars. Furthermore, students spend an average of forty dollars, or more, a week in bus fare or gas to attend college in order to satisfy an eighty percent class attendance - to qualify to sit final examinations. To resolve this issue, students can get a part-time job and budget his or her money properly. Getting a job will enable students to have money to purchase books, pay tuition and pay bus fare and budgeting will safeguard students against overspending. Another hardship faced by many students is time management. Time management is prioritizing the amount of time spent on specific activities...

...Chapter I PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Introduction Managing classroom behavior may be more challenging today than ever before. Many teachers face larger class sizes, more students who come from stressful, chaotic homes, and increased diversity in students' abilities and cultures (Grossman, 2004). Yet, many of us are determined to manage classroom behavior ourselves. After all, collaborating with others takes time and energy to build rapport and come to a consensus on behavior-change priorities and strategies. It's tempting just to forge ahead. Although, going at it alone may seem like a good idea in the short-run, in the long run, we are more likely to burn out and lose our effectiveness. Positive student behaviors are most effectively developed and supported through relationship-based whole-school and classroom practices, and clearly communicated behavioral expectations. Some students exhibit challenging behavior and require additional support and interventions to address this behavior and to develop positive behaviors.(Grossman, 2004) It is one of the trickiest issues teachers face today. Disruptive behavior results in lost curriculum time and creates a classroom environment that is not always conducive to learning. One key to nipping behavioral problems in the bud is to promote positive behavior before problems arise. This takes some planning, but the following article will provide you with practical tips to help you lay a foundation for positive classroom behavior. Understanding...

While each person’s are unique to their current circumstances, I know that there are few problems that almost all college students deal with at least once during their time at school.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In the society of university, students form their own interpersonal relations with their fellow students. They discuss commonalities and bond until they form sense of trust in each other. There are students who had given full load of subjects that a student in the specific year and semester.

...DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY ACCOUNTING STUDENTS IN THEIR ON-THE JOB TRAINING Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS Introduction of the Study A student apprenticeship program is an organized course training plan carefully intended to transfer relevant knowledge, skills, and outlooks within a designated period of time from a proficient practitioner in a precise field of study or profession to a novice student who preferably has completed a speculative program study. In some cases, schools call this an apprenticeship program, practicum program, or on the-job training program. They all mean the similar thing and the general purpose is to keep an eye on a common thread. Apprenticeship is similarly a professional relationship between a student (the apprentice) and a skillful professional (the trainer or mentor), in which the student is obliged to diligently conform and learn from the expert professional. On the other hand, the expert professional is pleased to facilitate the learning procedure by exposing the apprentice to a carefully planned program of casual instruction, diverse set of meaningful work experiences, and a fair valuation of learning outcomes through applied tests. They also say that for a comprehensive and effective program of a study, a sound student apprenticeship program is necessary to be able to develop a well-rounded and competent graduate ready to embark on a professional career. The components of a sound student apprenticeship program are preparatory...
