...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 is the student’s own knowledge and capability. Some are gifted with critical thinking and good analysis which make them perfect for subjects’ Math and Science; while others have good grammar and vocabulary which makes them excellent for subjects’ English and Filipino. However, there are students who are simply industrious and determined. They can excel in almost any subject since they are committed to get good grades. While there are passionate students, there are also those who are lazy and/or troubled in certain subjects. In relation to this, a research will be...

...Ada Lovelace’s eyes grew with enormous content, interest, and enthusiasm of the invention, which was later known as the Analytical Engine. In her twenties, Ada married her husband (several years her age) Earl William King and soon after, she bore three children. After having her children she became engrossed and focused on the formulation of the Analytical Engine, which took several years of extensive work, which she loved. Ada composed a “plan for how the engine might calculate Bernoulli numbers. This plan is now regarded as the first “computer program” (Larry Riddle, p. 1). Ada became ill and was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus and died at an early age, like her father, right after her accomplishments. Ada’s achievement was shown in her “notes” on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, which was finally acknowledged and “became reality in the 20th century computers which earned her a place in the history of mathematics and computer science” (Britannica Concise Encyclopedia, p. 6). Ada Lovelace was born in London, England on December 10, 1815. She was the daughter of Anne Isabelle Milbanke and the poet...

... I wound up uncovering my future in computer science, discovering my talent for 3d animation, and deciding what college I want to go to. 7th grade was one of the most disorientating years of my life, but it made the rest of my life so much more coherent. I first became interested in computer science in my writing and typing course. I had chosen the class because its course description promised "learning through video games" and I have always been an eccentric video game fan. I showed up early on the first day, but was instantly disappointed when my teacher, Mrs. Kossler introduced us to Mavis Beacon Typing Tutor, the aforementioned "video game." I had already mastered my typing skills from working on my computer at home, so I did not expect to learn anything new from the class. I tried to pass the time by hiding behind my monitor and playing minesweeper, but Mrs. Kossler eventually noticed. Instead of being angry or disappointed, however, she was calm and composed. Mrs. Kossler understood why I was bored and she introduced me to what she called "a better waste of my time", a free program called Alice. Alice is the 3d programming software that sparked my interest computer science. Before, I had no idea what computer science really was. I was misled by the word "science." I thought it was the study of computers and the falling green characters from the Matrix. But Alice showed me that computer science is more like an art than a science. It has the room for creativity that...

...Ada Lovelace, born as Augusta Ada Byron, was a genius mathematician. She is known for writing the instructions to the first computer program in the mid 1800’s. Ada created so many computer techniques, and is the first computer programmer. Ada’s parents, Lord George Gordon Byron and Lady Anne Isabella Milbanke did not have a very happy marriage. Lord Byron left England a few months after separating from his wife, and Ada never saw her father again. He then died in Greece when Ada was 8 years old. Ada had an unusual childhood, as an aristocratic girl. Ada's mother forced her to sit still. Lady Byron believed this would help Ada develop self control. Even though such subjects were not common for women to learn in the 1800’s, Ada had tutors...

...important quality is the knowledge that the teacher has, followed closely by the capacity of delivering that knowledge in an easy-to-comprehend manner, adapted to the level of the student or group. I consider these to be the basic requirements that should be a must for the teacher – the rest of the requirements (/qualities) are a consequence of the way of being as person, or the schooling environment, as well as the culture of the students, willingness to study, capacity of staying focused, life experience, age, aso. Task 2 – State what you consider to be the five most important roles of a teacher. Describe each role and say why you think it is important. 1. Tutor; 2. Resource or facilitator; 3. Prompter; 4. Assessor; 5. Manager (and also controller on the same rank of importance). 1. Tutor: in my opinion, the tutor characteristic of a teacher is outstanding in front of the others roles. Why? Because it requires delivering the information while having a more personal approach than speaking to a group, or speaking on a general topic. Unlike the manager role, the student gets a different learning experience if approached in an individual and (a more) personal way. 2. Facilitator: this role implies maintaining a relatively close approach to the students, and in case...

...Teachers' Attitudes toward Using Technology for Educational Purposes Student’s Name Institution of Learning Abstract The drive of this research was to scrutinize teachers’ attitudes en route for the use of technology. There were sixty-six participants who responded to the technology survey on an attitude. The investigation had twenty-nine queries about realism, attitudes and ability toward technology. Since the data contained older and younger scholars, the academic examined whether there were any significant differences between the two groups with respect to their attitudes toward technology. The researcher found that the mean of students’ attitudes for the older students was slightly higher on almost all queries. Nonetheless, this was significant only for the three questions of the survey. The study ranked the means for all questions in the survey and found five questions with the highest mean, indicating better attitudes, and five questions with low five means and which indicates the lowest attitudes on technology Introduction The aim of this item is to share with the students the results of a study carried out to examine the attitude of technology application amongst educators. Furthermore, this learning is discovering the attitudes of teachers towards the usage of technology for educational. The usage technology is today at inevitable level in all sectors. An impression of the study in the worth of using technology in learning and education process showed that...

...She was tutored for most of her childhood by several people. Some of her tutors, friends, and teachers were Miss Lamont, William Frend, Dr. William King, Mary Somerville,Miss Arabella Lawrence, and Augustus de Morgan. Miss Lamont was Ada’s tutor when she was around the age of six. She was more than likely replaced because her favorite subject was geography and not math whenever Miss Lamont was her tutor. Ada’s mom was furious that her favorite subject was not math at the time. Next, William Frend was another tutor of Ada’s. He also tutored Ada’s mother in math. Coincidentally, one of Ada’s other tutors was Dr. William King, and her husband was also named William King. Dr. King started tutoring Ada in 1892 but he then quit tutoring her because he felt he was not as interested in math as much as he should be. One of the many other people that tutored Ada was Miss Arabella Lawrence. She was hired by Ada’s mother to try and change her view, but she did not believe that she would able to change her. Augustus de Morgan helped extend Ada’s knowledge by teaching her advanced math, and...
