...WAYS OF DLSU-D TO ADDRESS CONCERNS OF STUDENTS WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES September 2008 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Historically, people with disabilities are being deprived of quality education because of their condition. They have been pitied, ignored, and belittled. Many institutions have tried to ignore them with the judgmental view of the society looking down unfairly on these kinds of people. It is the educator’s obligation to open the minds of every student and empower them with knowledge that would equip them in facing the challenges in life. (Encarta, 2004). It is the prime duty of an educator to teach students regardless of their condition. In situation wherein a teacher handles a student with disability, he/she should find ways in order to cope with the students’ needs, concentrating with his potential, not on his limitations. He must motivate and encourage the student to fulfill his duties notwithstanding his disabilities. A child is considered as handicapped if he/she is unable to reach the limits of major life activities or the basic actions that everyone is capable of doing. For the reason that a child ahs abnormal or insufficient structures in their body. It is a physical or mental disorder in the body that affects each body system. This includes deafness, blindness, impairment in some body parts and psychological disorders. Children are qualified disabled if there are services offered to...

...Delphine Hanna Ms. Hanna was a pioneer in organized physical education. She became the first instructor in Physical Education at Oberlin College (Ohio) in 1885. At that time, she began teaching the future faculty in Physical Education. Ms. Hanna received her medical degree in 1890 from the University of Michigan. This became a major compartment to the scientific basis of her physical programs. She established the first four-year curriculum for a Bachelor’s degree in physical education for women. In 1903, Ms. Hanna was made Professor of Physical Education at Oberlin, the first professorship in physical education in the United States. In search of answers concerning physical training, she learned of Dr. Dudley Sargent of Harvard who had interested a benefactor in making a generous gift to erect a well-equipped gymnasium. The testing, the courses, the activities were an innovation on a college campus. He was willing to conduct classes for women teachers in areas of anatomy, physiology, and the theory of exercise. Along with twelve other women, Ms. Hanna enrolled. She also investigated the newly developing orthopedic center in Boston to study diagnostic and corrective prescriptions for spinal deviations. She became convinced that a regimen of exercise was essential to well being, but must be based on scientific principles. She found a small college that held an open mind toward the experimentation of newer educational theories that welcomed her enthusiasm. ...

...Chapter 1 The Problem Introduction Recreation is an important human activity which benefits a person not only the physical but also a person’s well being. The “need to do something for recreation” seems to be an essential element of human biology and psychology. Recreational activities are often done for enjoyment, amusement, or pleasure and are considered to be “fun” the term “recreation” implies participation to have a healthy and refreshing mind and body. It is also very entertaining. Active and healthy recreation is already practice before. One example is the era of Romans. The Romans had the coliseum, where they watched chariot races and other entertainment. The Greeks had amphitheaters where they viewed drama and comedy. Others invented the Olympics, one of the greatest entertainment sport spectacles in the world. Even the bible discusses singing, dancing, music, and other forms of acceptable recreation, so even the most ancient civilizations enjoyed entertainment and recreation of some sort. Aristotle said that happiness result from being the best we can be. The sort of happiness that Aristotle was thinking should not be equated with simple pleasure. Amusing ourselves can be pleasant, but he says it is childish. Amusement for sheer pleasure degrades rather than improves us. Aristotle admits that amusement is helpful because it refreshes us from work. But amusement is never as good as true leisure, which...

This is tied into global communication because this ideal stems from our engagement with others through our bodies that we use as signs to communicate. Race, gender and social status were impacted as well from body politics. The text states, Social constructs or social construction, is an idea or phenomenon that has been constructed by people in a particular society or culture, through communication. Social constructs exist because people act and agree to follow certain conventions and rules. The body is used as signifiers, which represents the body and images of actions mainly when discussing race.

...Childhood Obesity David Sholl Western Governors University Task 3 Childhood Obesity Part A: Description of the Problem The primary focus of the literature review will be childhood obesity among American children between the ages of five and eighteen years. Most parents are not aware that their children have problems until they become overweight. For instance, in a survey conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2011, about 49% of American parents believed that their children were of average size. However, after physical examinations, a team of physicians classified them as overweight. Central adiposity is one of the symptoms of childhood obesity. Children with excessive accumulation of fat around the abdominal area are either overweight or obese. Inability to cope with abrupt physical activities is another symptom. Numerous studies indicate that overweight children have diminished physical stamina because their bodies carry excess weight. Snoring is the other notable symptom of childhood obesity. As fat accumulates around the neck region, it obstructs the windpipe leading to snoring among children. Childhood obesity is now a pandemic in the U.S, and has become a national health crisis. One in every three children in America aged between two and eighteen years are considered overweight or obese. The life-threatening problems of obesity create a critical and compelling call for action that should not be ignored. According to numerous sources obesity is related...

...University- Portland Abstract This ethical statement offers a scholarly and professional analysis of ethical matters that often confront professionals in the educational field. In addition to exploring the foundation of my ethical principles, this paper explores the interdependent relationships of the mind, body, and soul in shaping the whole ethical being and the influence of theories such as Utilitarianism upon my values. The ethics portrayed in my professional life as an educator have the power to impact my students and colleagues immensely. It is therefore imperative to implement a systematic, in-depth analysis of my ethical beliefs, thoughts, and conduct. The professional obligations of the educator require the educator to inspire students and guide them to possess the knowledge and skills necessary to discover “what is excellent and true” (Markie, 1994). This professional ethics statement affirms the role of the mind, body, soul, and community in ethics as well as the responsibility of educators to purposefully and consistently strive for portraying their ethical best in professional relationships and conduct. Keywords: ethics, utilitarianism, education, mind, body, soul Ethical Foundation Among the many facets that comprise the total human experience, ethical frameworks mold and shape the character and the conduct of each individual within both their personal and professional lives. Although there is a plethora of ethical frameworks existing within our contemporary...

...believe all of that can be determined from market research that taps into individuals wants and desires that are felt so strongly the feel as if they are needs. And so I believe that market research can inspire parents to influence students to become all they can and compete in our job force to make a valuable contribution to our society. In my mind education has become a business along with that statement comes the revelation that it is a business that our country is failing to excel in because it has become so much of a business that we are not educating our children at a level that will allow them to compete in our markets to fill job openings. We need marketing research to helps us “prioritize the more important and pressing problems selected for solution, reach the best possible solution based on the information available, implement the solution, modify the solution when additional information so dictates (Danaher, Hardie & Putsis, 2001)” (Al-Shatanawi, Osman & Halim, 2014, p. 151). I believe that preparing today’s youth to be tomorrow’s leaders through education should be a top priority for every American citizen and marketing research and presentation can move us in that direction. Societal problems must be managed by governing bodies just as business owner /executives must manage business. The individual in control of our lives need information to successfully manage larger issues, such as employment, affecting the quality of life in our country. However with...

...Hypothesis; 4) The Input Hypothesis; 5) The Affective Filter Hypothesis. The Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis states that second language learners develop their ability in the second language in two ways: acquisition and learning. Acquisition is generally subconscious. People are not usually aware of their increasing proficiency. They acquire a “feel” for the language and have little conscious knowledge of the rules of that language. Learning, on the other hand, is a more formal process which is aided by rules and error correction. Krashen (1994) summarizes: “In everyday terms, acquisition is picking up a language. Ordinary equivalents for learning include grammar and rules” (p.52). The Natural Order Hypothesis states that “students acquire (not learn) grammatical structures in a predictable order” (p.52). In other words, some structures are acquired earlier than others. An important component of this hypothesis is that the acquisition order is different for the first language than for the second language. Although individuals differ in their exact order of acquisition there can be said to be an average order and a natural order. Importantly, this does not imply that teachers should teach language in order of acquisition. In...

...Education in school to be more effective, the environment needs to be conducive to learning, allowing the pupils space and time to interact within the learning and teaching process. Creating and maintaining stimulating learning environments can be achieved through effective classroom organization, interactive and whole school displays and a climate of innovation. This ideal learning environment optimizes well being. It reflects a positive schools that makes the school an exciting, stimulating and welcoming place. Schools do this by: * developing and communicating an explicit commitment to wellbeing * acknowledging individual differences and providing opportunities for all students to learn and succeed * ensuring students have opportunities to participate in school decision-making processes * applying consistent school-wide rules and consequences that are: * collaboratively developed with students and the broader school community * clearly explained * positively enforced * rewarding of good behavior * providing pastoral care for students * maintaining a physical space, including cyber environment that maximizes staff and student safety * supporting staff wellbeing.
