...Purpose of Study The main purpose of my study is to evaluate the outcome of positive reinforcement in young school-aged children. More specifically, I want to determine how early elementary school teachers use successful behavior modification in their classrooms. Research Questions * What behaviors are exhibited when children are given positive, consistent reinforcement versus no positive reinforcement at all? * To what extent does gender play in both students and teachers about the delivery style and how much reinforcement is needed? * To what extent does the classroom environment play in how behaviors are exhibited? * How do cultural backgrounds, home environments, and mental health influence classroom behaviors? Theory and research about academic motivation has historically defined the role of learning processes, although the studies of learning strategies rarely assess motivational outcomes. Specific features of instruction and how it might influence how students interpret the processes are paramount to classroom learning and motivation. Effective teaching and learning can take place only in a harmonious learning environment. Classrooms that are structured and resemble a symphony of learners rehearsing for a show are more consistent than the classrooms that are directed like a three-ring circus. The teacher-as-conductor approach replaces the compulsion and disorder of a circus-like classroom with the management and cooperation of a symphony...

It is based on the thought process behind the behaviour. * Behaviourist – believe that learning takes place when knowledge is separated into smaller bits. Students are rewarded for successful answers. Instruction focuses on conditioning the learner's behaviour. Learning involves repetition and association and is highly mechanical. Behaviourist leaning teachers focus on a new behavioural pattern being repeated until it becomes automatic. *...

...Introduction Study habits and learning attitudes are very important in part of the learning process. It influences the academic performance of students, so parents and teachers must help in improving the study habits of students. Attitude and study habits are obviously crucial as well. It is important for all students to protect investments of time and money and to achieve educational goals. The main priorities are class attendance, time management, and great studying habits are necessary workings for an academic success. Poor study habits and influence of bad attitudes are a major cause of current academic problems. As the year level of students in school becomes higher, their study habits differ from time to time. Below is the data gathered from Hotel and Restaurant Management students of St. Michael’s College about their academic performance last semester. The total passing percentage is 85% which consists of First year students (88%), Second year students (75%) and Third year students (92%) from selected major subjects. A literature review by Nagaraju (2004) pointed out that, for good academic success, good study habits and attitudes are important. Hence, it is imperative and desirable that a probe into the pattern of study habits and attitudes of students be made. The researchers’ objective of this study is to know the importance of study habits and learning attitude, to give the students the information and tools to develop good strategies towards learning, to solve poor...

Individuals are developed diverse way of learning styles in order to cope with different subjects arise in their field of study. The approach student’s use in their study has a significant impact on both the quality of the learning and their academic success. It would clearly be of value to identify students approach to learning styles that predict to unsatisfactory performance if they unable to choose the best way of learning approach. Learning style can be defined as a process of obtaining knowledge or skills where as, style can be defined as a way or technique of doing thing by an individual. Learning style can be defined as a way, strategies or technique preferred by students in the process of obtaining the knowledge or skills. In the contact of the present study learning style refer to the model of learning propose by Honey and Mumford (1992). According to Honey and Mumford (1992), learning has taken place when either or both of the following situations apply where an individual knows something not previously known, and can show it as well as an individual is able to do something he or she was previously unable to do.

...Chapter 1 The Problem and its Background Introduction According to Maraya (2013), excellent academic performance is an ultimate goal of study for every student because it provides the half way of success in the future. Students need to know how they can earn the achievement in academic performance. As being students, the perception on study habits is necessary. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to find out students’ perception on their study habits and to evaluate whether study habits of Grade 5 and Grade 6 students in SMA has positive relationship with their academic performance in Learning English. Measures of study behaviors, also called study skills, strategies, or techniques, can serve as diagnostic tools to help instructors identify students in need of additional help and can also provide a better awareness of a student’s strengths and weaknesses and, correspondingly, ways to optimize his or her learning. Study behaviors can be broadly defined as behaviors functioning to acquire, organize, synthesize, evaluate, remember, and use information (Crede & Kuncel, 2008; Gettinger & Seibert, 2002). Such behaviors include time management; goal setting; selecting what, how, and where to study; taking good notes; reading; and self-testing. Researchers have divided the many specific study behaviors into four main categories: repetition-based (e.g., flashcards), cognitive-based (e.g., studying with a friend), procedural (e.g., time management), and metacognitive...

...· Define meaningful learning opportunities from the perspective of student with a disability. Students with disabilities would have more meaningful learning opportunities when working on communicating with their peers. The students want to socialize with their peers not with teachers. A great way to do this would to have a non-verbal student request something from a peer using their AAC device. You could add to the AAC device so the student could play games with their peers. · What forms of AAC could be incorporated for a student that is non-verbal with severe intellectual disabilities and who is also learning English as a second language (ELL)? AAC devices use visuals to represent words the student would like communicated (Bowden-Carpenter, Johnston, and Beard, 2014). A student, who is non-verbal with severe intellectual disabilities and qualifies as ELL, may benefit from using PECS. The student uses pictures to communicate his/her wants and needs. PECS is a system where the student communicates to another person by handing the person a picture can for what they are trying to say....

...CONTRIBUTION OF LEARNING STRATEGIES AND STUDY SKILLS TO THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF TEACHER EDUCATION STUDENTS Julius M. Raquel Francisco B. Galut Jr. Researchers Dr. Freddie Cabrera Research Teacher CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Learning strategies are the essential symbol of students “learning how to learn”, which is also an important factor affecting learning efficiency and quality. Learning strategies are used by students to help them understand information and solve problems. A learning strategy is a person's approach to learning and using information. Students who do not know or use good learning strategies often learn passively and ultimately fail in school. Like learning strategies, study skills are fundamental to academic competence. Effective study skills are associated with positive outcomes across multiple academic content areas and for diverse learners. Academic competence is associated with the knowledge and application of effective study skills and learning strategies. Capable students may experience difficulty in school especially college students, not because they lack ability, but because they lack good study skills and learning strategies. Although some students develop study skills independently, even normally achieving students may go through school...

It is essential; therefore involved in the everyday life of man. This development has brought a lot of advantages and is the greatest contribution to the improvement of every nation but due to this, man had become too dependent on it, to the extent that it is being debated as to whether, dependence on technology limits or integrates the capacity of one’s mind. Education is the most affected sector of technology specifically the performance of students. Through technology anyone can easily-access and gain information just by a flick of a finger and in any type of gadget one can get his hands on. Because of this, the learning capacity and study habit has been totally changed from the way it used to be. It affects the full-potential and performance of a student which brings disadvantages and slow productivity thus, a resolution must be made in order for technology not to be the major impediment in the hope of the nation, which is...

...Memory Project: Application to Learning and Study Habits Erin Halbhuber Baker College Memory Memory is the capability to learn, retain, store and remember information from previous experiences. Memories are accumulated from prior experiences and recollected, which can influence change of behavior or thought. This ability can assist with learning and adapting to new experiences. Short-term memory is information a person is thinking of at that particular instant, it is also known as “working memory” (Morris & Maisto, 2013, p. 187). Short-term memory is the ability to remember and process information at the same time. “Short-term memory acts as a kind of “scratch-pad” for temporary recall of the information which is being processed at any point in time, and has been referred to as the brain’s Post-it note” (Short-Term Memory and Working Memory – Types of Memory – The Human Memory,” n.d.). When trying to recall a telephone number or a small number of items needed at the grocery store, this information is held for “fifteen to twenty-five seconds and is known as short-term memory” (Morris & Maisto, 2013, p. 195). The problem with short term memory is that only minimal amounts of information are remembered and for small periods of time. Long-term memory is information that is relocated from short-term memory, becoming permanent knowledge that can be recalled later. “No matter if it is a memory from 30 seconds ago or from last week; a memory has to be stored...

...A STUDY ON THE IMPORTANCE OF GRAMMAR IN LEARNING ENGLISH In India English continues to be the medium of instructions in colleges and universities. It is also the language of the administration. English should be most useful “library language” in higher education and our most significant window on the world. English plays an important role in our national life. It was of great importance in the British India. It plays an important role in various fields. So grammar plays a vital role in the field of learning language. So working knowledge of grammar is required for a sound basis of language- ungrammatical use will create disorder, misunderstanding of ideas, and bad impression among the listener or the reader. In the words of Dr. West, “grammar is not a code of rules like etiquette and table manners, a statement of convention, it summarizes what is done by cultured people, and like etiquette, and it is a state of a constant”. NEED AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The most important ingredient of learning English is grammar. Because, when we come to learn a new language, we need to study its grammar. Grammar is the study of words and the ways words work together. Any person who communicates using a particular language is consciously or unconsciously aware of the grammar of that language. Students usually find difficulties in learning grammar and most of them hate grammar sessions. They do not realize that it is the back bone of language. Pupils at secondary schools also have difficulties...

...My Learning from the WestJet Case Study Case Analysis The case study by Munro and Khan (2013) indicates that IT has played a significant role to make the WestJet a remarkable success. WestJet started its function in 1996 with three uses Boeing 737-200 aircraft in five western Canadian Cities. However, by 2011, the airline boasted its activities reaching more than 90 Boeing Next-Generation 737 aircraft, 85 destinations in 18 countries and over nine thousand employees. It became “the second-largest carrier in Canada and ninth largest in North America. It described itself as a ‘high-value, low-fare airline’ with a corporate culture focused on delivering a ‘world-class guest experience’” (p. 1). The role of IT was brilliant is success of the WestJet in the mentioned period. The case shows “IT and its systems gave WestJet a competitive advantage and played an integral part in WestJet’s growth” (p. 1). The case study indicates that aligning the IT and business strategy was a key for success in WestJet. For example, one of the WestJet strategic plan was to start the codeshare that enable two or more airlines share the same flight. Thus, it required an IT move to align the IT with the company strategy. When Smith was hired in 2011, she found “a company wanted to use IT to help it get to the next level. WestJet’s corporate strategy was heavily dependent on the ability of IT to deliver innovative guest product and services, as well as solid operational support” (p. 2). Smith started...
