...parents we teach our children to be themselves no matter what others think. As babies children are placed in situations that their parents but them in most the time in the group of friends that the parents interact with. This is just the beginning of the cycle of social interaction they are either liked by these friends or not. Soon after starting school kids experience their own social influences if they like school they may not be liked by the cool kids. As children it is hard to not fit in with the cool group of kids because at that moment the only thing they think about is being in the popular crowd. This was no different for one of the little boys in the first grade at one of the local elementary schools. After observing in the classroom for an hour I went out to the playground to observe the kids playing. A little boy who was very out spoken in class was sitting on a bench alone wondering what was going on; I walked over to observe him closer. As he was sitting on the bench I noticed that he was crying still just observing I watched as this little boy cry until the teacher came to talk to him. AS they were talking the...

This course moves a step further and looks at the group and organizational level dimensions of organizational behavior. Work most often than not involves interactions between two or more people. It also implies that these interactions need to be managed for effective functioning of organizations. This course covers important sociological and psychological theories explaining group behavior and leadership, their implications for teams within organizations. We will also discuss some crucial aspects of organizational structure, culture and managing organizational change effectively. At the end of the course the students will be able to: * Understand the dynamics underlying group and team behavior within organizations and therefore be better equipped to deal with interpersonal dynamics at the workplace * Expose students to the concept of leadership and its relevance at the workplace * Understand and appreciate the complexities of the organizational context-...

...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. Good facilities appear to be an important precondition for student learning, provided that other conditions are present that support a strong academic program in the school. A growing body of research has linked student achievement and behavior...

...and change. As Rutter (1979) argued, positive and measurable outcomes in behaviour and learning can occur apart from the socioeconomic conditions of the children in school. Progress will be limited if the schools attitude and stance is "How can we be expected to develop good learning and behaviour when we have got kids like these in this environment." A recent survey reports that the majority of teachers consider 'home background' to be the most significant factor in 'problem behaviour' (Croll and Moses, 1985). The classroom climate has a huge impact on pupils motivation and attitudes to learning. A study by Wragg and Wood (1989) emphasises the importance of the first few lessons with a new class in establishing positive behaviour and fostering pupils intrinsic and extrinsic motivation towards learning. Jones and Jones (1998) formula - Motivation = expectation of success x expected benefits of success x work climate. Kyriacou (2001) claims that the classroom itself should be purposeful, task-orientated, relaxed warm and supportive with emphasis on the pupils and their learning. The appearance and layout of the class is equally conducive to positive attitudes and should facilitate the activities taking place. Glasser (1986) Johnson and Johnson (1991) Johnson et al (1993) observed the positive influences that peers have on each others learning. Gooderow, (1993) and Kohn (1996) claimed if children felt supported at school and trusted...

...Class Room Observation and Analysis Classroom observation and analysis, in other words classroom research is not merely important for improving students’ learning but it also essential for teachers’ development. Observation of methodology, (for in-use evaluation) to see how the teacher uses the textbook in the class and how the students respond to it, is an important procedure of evaluation. It has to be seen how well the students have grasped the concepts and how proficient they have really become in using the language. For this purpose an evaluator has to observe the teacher while she is actually teaching in the class by the use of the course book and the students when they are being taught. It will also help the evaluator to check the students’ level of motivation. A clear idea about the interest of the learners can be obtained by viewing the learners in the class when they are being taught by the use of the textbook. It also has to be seen whether they enjoyed the lecture or considered it to be a dull and useless one. Observation also aids in determining how active and attentive the students are in the class. New teachers are usually full of new ideas but with the passage of several years they fall back on previous lesson plans and do not introduce anything truly creative. Therefore, teachers need to evaluate their own teaching styles. Brown thinks “A teacher who wants to avoid getting into a rut- or to climb out of a rut into which he has fallen – should make a through...

Today, as we approach a second global recession, helping people learn how to grow firms as astutely as possible will play a role in speeding the beginning of a new recovery. When companies like Cisco and HP abandon major market segments, it is even more important to think critically about how to grow a firm’s products. Given the chaotic period that we are entering, I have made several significant changes to this course. First, I have done away with the individual midterm. The “next” recovery will be a group effort. So will your midterm. Second, I have assigned three books. These are some of the best books out there on how to think about innovation, competition and how to grow a business. They will become “let me read that again” go-to books that you will use long after you graduate from UT. To compensate for the heavy reading load, I have eliminated...

With 24 hours I can log in and submit my home work any time, if compare to traditional face to face learning environment I have to be in class at certain time and if I do not show up for the class. I will be marked absence. But as distance learning there is no set time that you have to be online and all you need is basic knowledge of internet. Ways my view of distance learning change since I started my classes is that I have made the correct decision in pursuing my education. First I was skeptical about distance learning programs because I was not familiar with the online classroom, how to submit assignment and how to reach your instructor. After visiting the University of Phoenix Website and seeing the outline and webpage, I was impressed to continue distance...

...a year. For example :” Johnny graduated in the class of 2005”. You can also use class to describe two different things. Example “There are two different classes of detergent high efficiency and oxy.” The last definition that interest me was that you could use the word class to describe someone elegance in dress and behavior. For example “ She carries herself with a lot of class.” As I went through all the definitions I noticed that I do use the word “class” in those aspect but never really paid attention. I sat down and thought of why would those definitions come to mind when I thought of the word and I came to the conclusion that maybe it’s because its not something that I use in everyday life. When you say class I think of the classroom setting because I have a daughter in school and I am currently in school, So when my daughter comes home I say “ How was class baby ?” and she responds. Also when It relays to me in school I think what class do I have to take next semester?, what do I have to do for class...

...Classroom Observation Conducting classroom observations are very important to the prospective teacher. Observing helps show how experienced teachers manage their classroom. For this observation it was important to notice how the classroom was arranged, how the teacher interacted with the students, the teacher’s management style, and interview the teacher. Upon speaking to the principal about observing he assigned me to Mrs. Johnson’s third grade class, because she was the best organized. I was surprised when I walked into the class and it was not pristine and in perfect order. Shelves are organized with baskets but the baskets are overflowing with books. I was glad to see that she actually used her classroom. My observations on the teacher’s management style, interaction with students, arrangement, mutual respect, enforcing and reinforcing classroom expectations, and preventative procedures and activities. The day I observed Mrs. Johnson’s classroom was a good day because not only did I get to see the interaction between her and her students she also had the other third grade class for a period and I got to see her interaction with students she does not have on a daily basis. She was very positive and never raised her voice once. If a student got too loud or was breaking rules she would call the students name and tell them to take a letter. She is very respectful with her students calling them ladies...

...Normality We’re 7 million people sharing the earth. But how many are considered “normal”? When are people considered abnormal? Can a little thing as being born with a finger less, make you the black sheep in the classroom? Is it even possible to be normal? Today we’re 7 million people on the earth. Some have different skin colours, some are shorter and weaker than others and some a simply smarter. But none of these things matters in the real life. For example let’s say you’re very weak and not as high as the other boys in the classroom, but you are very smart. In the future, you would have a brilliant job. And some girls actually prefer smart boys over a strong and stupid one. But then again, some people say if you’re born with a noticeable disability, you would be considered abnormal. But I can prove that wrong. Let’s say that you’re on an institution for people who have a mental disability. You would be considered normal amongst those people. But if you’re in a regular class room they would consider you the abnormal one. And to prove it, let’s say that you’re a regular boy. You went over to visit a friend on the institution for people who have a mental disability. At the institution you would be the considered abnormal. Can any people actually be considered abnormal? Well that depends on how wide you think of the word “normal”. The truth is, we all live on the same earth, and even tho some have different skin colour, we all originate from the same race. Therefore you...

...disadvantages of both learning environments. Harklau conducted her study over a 3 ½ year period. The subjects were newcomers to the San Francisco Bat area and were all Chinese ethnic students. She chose these students for the sample group because they represented the predominant group in the ESL program. Her study consisted of 315 hours of classroom observations, samples of homework, samples of schoolwork, school records, and 38 formal interviews. What Harklau found was that there were two significant ways in which the instructions differed. First was the organization and goals of instruction and second was the contrast in the types of social interactions that occurred in each environment. Organization and goals of instruction refers to how and written and spoken language was used, how teacher’s goals affected content, and how and to what degree feedback was given. Harklau found that while the mainstream classrooms offered lots of opportunity to get meaningful input and offered many opportunities for interactions in writing, there was very little opportunity for students to interact orally in the classroom. The classroom were structured very traditionally (in rows) and consisted of the traditional...
