...I Volleyball Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.[1] It has been a part of the official program of the Summer Olympic Games since 1964. The rally continues, with each team allowed as many as three consecutive touches, until either (1): a team makes a kill, grounding the ball on the opponent's court and winning the rally; or (2): a team commits a fault and loses the rally. The team that wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally. A few of the most common faults include: * Causing the ball to touch the ground outside the opponents' court or without first passing over the net; * Catching and throwing the ball; * Double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player; * Four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team. * Net foul: touching the net during play. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body. History On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts (USA), William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director, created a new game called Mintonette as a pastime to be played preferably indoors and by any number of players. The game took some of its characteristics from tennis and handball. Another indoor sport, basketball, was catching on...

...background of the study. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE STUDY A child can be more intelligent and may show strong self-confidence in class as compare to those who have not developed their good study habits. A student who does not have good study habits may not perform well in class recitation, quizzes, and activities. This could happen because he may come to school unprepared. Good study habits are the tool to success. (Losare 2007) “Sound study skills and habits are crucial to academic success. Intelligence alone cannot do the job (although it certainly helps). Good academic skills do not develop overnight. They are acquired gradually, so be patient with you. Fortunately, tasks such as reading textbooks, writing papers, and taking tests get easier with practice” Marabut’s article (2006) of Improving Academic Performance p. 96. The word study is connected to the word learning. Learning consists of discovering what generates pleasure and what generates distress for the individual. Changes produced by learning are not always positive in nature. People can acquire bad habits as well as good ones. Good study habit brings many possibilities of attaining better academic performance. Moreover, there are already numerous studies conducted about study habits in connection to the academic performance of student. Mohasco (2007), “Good study habits with proper attitudes will lead to good student’s performance in school”. If an individual is having a planned study habit and is willing to...

...Adrian Carlo Lao A Study on the Factors that Hinder the Centre International Education Students from Studying The ways people learn differ from child to child. As what is already stated, we all have our different ways in studying as long as we are comfortable and we improve; study habits seem to show differences in how children become skilled at and how earnest that are about learning. It may be something that they are used to and have adapted to throughout their school years. It can be good and bad ones. Good study habits include being orderly, keeping good notes, reading your textbook, listening in class, and doing your work every day while poor study habits include skipping class, not doing your work, watching TV or playing video games instead of studying, sleeping late and losing your work loads. For students of any age, studying is the way of life, with tests and exams commonly raising stress levels and daily workloads. Many students sleep late because of the study load that the school provides. Stress also depends on what type of curriculum there is in your school. Not really a majority of students adopt in a very organized and calm approach and study consistently through the year, students are able to study effortlessly often accompanied by a lack of slumber, exercise, fresh air, the stress of worrying study habits, and overall cognitive functioning.

Effective study habits enable students to accomplish more in a comparative shorter time to finish the school requirements and at the same time enjoy life. Wide variations have been universally noted in the methods of studying typically practiced by the students. The time of day preferred, time laps between study sessions, noise or music as background, physically and emotionally condition when studying, are but few of many factors which may vary in every conquerable way among individual. According to Horton-Murillo (1992), in academic achievement, every child is unique. His learning style is one aspect of his uniqueness. Teachers must recognize the knowledge and respect in every child’s individual learning style. Learning styles include cognitive, effective, and physiological domains. Learners have individual differences; each has inner strength and capacities. Knowing this will help the learners where they would engage themselves to acquire effective learning. Studying plays a vital role in the attainment of the educational goals of the students. Some teachers wonder why some of their students are not making any significant progress in their work.

...CHAPTER TWO Ecclesiastes 1:4 "Everything an Indian does is in a circle," said Black Elk, the Sioux religious leader. "Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood...." You would think Black Elk had been studying the first chapter of Ecclesiastes, except for one fact: for centuries, wise men and women in different nations and cultures have been pondering the mysteries of the "circles" of human life. Whenever you use phrases like "life cycle," or "the wheel of fortune," or "come full circle," you are joining Solomon and Black Elk and a host of others in taking a cyclical view of life and nature.

...Tips from the Science of Memory-for Studying and for Life For many college students, including myself, remembering your course material and retaining the information you need for exams does not come easily. There are several ways for students to improve their memorization skills in order to better retain the information they are learning. According to the text, the first important step is organization. After you read your material, and listen to the lecture it is important to take time to reflect on what you just learned before moving on to the next topic. Organizing the information in a way that makes sense to you is the most effective way to retain important points. For some people, making an outline and highlighting important words is a good way to etch the information into your memory. It is very important to make sure that the information in your notes is accurate so that when you need to reflect on it, it is correct. Taking notes with misinformation would defeat the purpose when it came to preparing for your exam. The next step in memorization is encoding. When you encode something, it is like you are making a permanent place in your brain for the memory. Some of the best ways to remember things are using imagery, such as photographs, to relate the information to. By doing this, when you see the image again, you will remember the concept or idea that is tied to it. Also, while reading your material, take the time to tie your personal life experiences to what you are...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the study The middle school years are a critical turning point in young peoples’ lives. At ages 11-14 years, children go through the early adolescence stage. Adolescence is an important period when a child adjusts physically, learns new cognitive abilities, forms positive social relationships, develops a positive sense of self, and forges a personal code of ethics and morality (Eccles, Midgley,1989;Jackson & Davis,2000). Schools, along with peers and families, play an important role in fostering young peoples’ healthy development through the adolescent years (Meece, 2003). Thus, ignoring the developmental needs of students in school might result in the students developing a wrong notion of school until adulthood. Students’ eagerness and motivation to go to high school may decline as they go through their first year in high school if they may still lack the interaction they need to become familiar with and to be exposed to the high school’s norms and environment (Eccles & Midgley, 1989) (Barone, Aguirre-Deandreis, & Trickett, 1991). First year students tend to become lost in the “new world” they are in (Mizelle, 1995; Phelan, Yu, & Davidson, 1994) as they are expected to be more independent in high school, with less spoon-feeding of information and more application of good study habits. The new first year students are expected to be more mature as they deal with new classroom subjects, adopt a better value system, and be...
