...goal of education is transmission of the culture, the preservation of the past and the present and the development of intellect (Farooq, 1994). Education should help in improving the capabilities and skills of the students and introduce new ideas and values among them (Khalid, 1983). Education is the process through which knowledge is transmitted from one individual or section of society to another individual or section. The teacher is the most important factor of the teaching-learning process. The school’s most important influence is the teacher. He sets the tone of the classroom and establishes the mood of the group. He is the authority figure providing the direction for behavior. He is a model and is consciously imitated (Bernard, 1972).. The importance of teacher is recognized throughout the world (Panda and Mohanty, 2003). Good teachers are essential for the effective functioning of education system and for improving the quality of learning process. Job satisfaction enables teachers to put their best to do the assigned work. Teachers develop performance style characteristics to their ways of relating to the world, perceptually as well as cognitively. A person is, therefore, likely to act in a way that maximizes the use of his aptitudes. Similarly, teacher’s positive attitude towards teaching and higher aspiration level determines his positive perception of the environments. An...

...and personalities is important not only in a professional environment but also in society. Learning styles differ from person to person. Different learning styles are often the result among individuals with different types of each. Different personality styles thrown together can either clash or compliment. Personality is the first thing one person notices about another when communicating with them and learning the different strengths about each personality type can help to improve communication and collaboration. There are three different learning and personality styles that I will talk about. Verbal/Linguistic “Verbal Linguistic is the ability to communicate through language, listening, reading, writing, and speaking” (Keys to College Studying Chapt. 2). In order to communicate and collaborate effectively each team member must use their strengths to make up for another’s weakness. Those with Verbal Linguistic strengths can effectively communicate in writing and can also use persuasion. Teachers can also help their students by having them keep journals, play word games, and use discussion in the class room. Interpersonal “Interpersonal is the ability to relate to others, noticing their moods, motivations, feelings, social activity, cooperative learning, and teamwork” (Keys to College Studying Chapt.2). People with Interpersonal strengths are great at keeping the group running smoothly and they can communicate verbally. Teachers can help...

Research has shown that many of the different Personality types tend to have distinct preferences in their choice of careers. So here am going to discuss about couple of personalities and profession and what will be their strength and weakness being that personality type. ESFP and Teaching If anyone is to be found spontaneously breaking into song and dance, it is the ESFP personality type. ESFPs get caught up in the excitement of the moment, and want everyone else to feel that way, too. No other personality type is as generous with their time and energy as ESFPs when it comes to encouraging others, and no other personality type does it with such irresistible style. Strenghts: ESFPs are some of the most relaxed, fun-loving people out there. Playing with children is a genuine pleasure for them, and people with the ESFP personality type constantly devise new and exciting ways to enjoy their time with the children. Exploration and experiences are key philosophies for ESFP teachers – when their students ask questions, the answer is "Let's find out!" . They take things day by day and break up the crust by letting their students explore something new in their own way.I think these are the qualities that a teacher should have and most of the students wish to have such teachers in their school life...

...Dr. Temple Grandin Dr. Temple Grandin is most likely the most famous autistic individual ever. She has overcome great obstacles from the time she was born and still works hard today to fit into the world. She is extremely intelligent and has a PhD in Animal Science. If it wasn’t for the support of her family and a few teachers, her success may have never happened due to her disability. Heredity and Environment Occasionally, a person’s developing psychology can be explained thru inherited genes or traits from parents or other relatives. Autism has shown some signs of heredity when both sides of a child’s family have autism in their history. However, in Temple Grandin’s case, there was not a known history of autism. There has been some speculation that autism is more likely to occur when the child’s parents are highly intelligent in the fields of math and science. Temple’s father was a real estate agent and her mother was a singer, and English Major from Harvard. While environmental factors have not been ruled out as a cause or contributing factor for autism, Temple, herself, has not decided if she believes there are environmental factors that contributed to her autism. However, she does believe that adding Omega 3 and special diets like gluten free can help some people or children with autism. Family and Social Support When Temple was a young toddler, her mother was concerned about her development and took her to a doctor. The doctor told Temple’s Mother that...

Explain how to plan for assessment; 4. Describe types of assessment in the classroom; 5. Explain what is teacher-made tests; 6. Describe what is standardized tests; and 7. Explain what is authentic assessment. 254 CHAPTER 10 CHAPTER 10 l CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION One of the most basic and difficult task that teachers face in their work is the process of assessment. Classroom assessment includes all the process involved in making decisions about students learning progress. It includes the observation of students’ written work, their answers to questions in class, and performance on teacher-made and standardized tests. According to (Koyalik, 2002 as cited in Eggen & Kauchak, 2004): i. It facilitates teachers in decision making about learning progress through systematic information gathering. Besides that, assessment also accomplishes two other important goals; increasing learning and increasing motivation. The relationship between learning and assessment is very strong. Students learn more in classes where assessment is an integral part of instruction than in those where it isn’t. Brief assessment that provides frequent feedback about learning progress is more effective than long, infrequent ones, like once-a-term tests. 255 255 CLASSROOM...

...Outstanding Teacher, Anyone? By Allan Moore S. Cabrillas Master Teacher I – San Jose West Central School San Jose City As the whole world salutes the modern-day heroes in the school, here are some characteristics that really define the teacher. If one possesses these, he or she can contribute a lot to children, to their fellow teachers, to the community, and to the field of education. While there is no static formula for what makes an outstanding teacher, these personality traits help form the essential foundation for succeeding – as a teacher and as a leader. 1. Compassionate The best teachers are patient, understanding, and kind. They can put themselves in their students' shoes and imagine what the students are thinking and feeling, thus anticipating what they need in order to learn and thrive. When a learner is struggling, good teachers hide their frustration and refrain from making disdainful comments that only make the situation worse. Instead, compassionate teachers will try anything and everything in order to reach each and every learner. It can be challenging at times, but great teachers know that what separates them from the rest of the pack is the heart and soul they bring into the classroom. 2. Passionate Effective teachers are passionate about many things: children, learning, their chosen subject matter, the art of teaching, and life in general. They bring the full force of their personalities into the classroom and spark excitement into the learning process...

...Qualities of Teacher 1. Comment as to the: 1.1 Contents of the paper/, and 1.2 Similarities as to what you have experienced as a teacher or you expect to have the qualities cited and many more. Answer: 1.1 The content of the paper represents a thorough analysis, systematic understanding and a comprehensive representation of a good teacher. Teachers possess a strong power in their own capacity to direct the learners in becoming responsible citizens. Their communal hard work act as a driving power by which the goals and objectives of an educational scheme are being achieved. As such, teacher quality must be taken into account to make such goals reachable. As cited from the paper prepared by Dr. Rodolfo Yangco Baking, a former President of Tarlac State University and now a high-caliber professional lecturer of University of Makati, some qualities of a good teacher which he further explained were: enthusiastic, well prepared, maximize time, self-desciplined, humble, exemplary, use discipline wisely, treat everyone with equal respect, empathetic, avid readers, trust-worthy and trusting, committed and have spiritual foundation. In an unstructured consultation with some administrators as to teacher capability, they considered manner towards work as the most favorable characteristic. Teachers’ personality traits had the greatest influence in moral values development. The student respondents tagged being approachable and responsible among teacher traits as their...

...Everyone has their own way of adjusting and adapting to new situations, their own way of communicating to one another, and their own way of expressing their feelings. All of these attributes and more add up to create one’s personality. According to ManageTrainLearn.com, "Personality is the mixture of relatively permanent personal characteristics in the way a person constructs the world, acts in it and reacts to it." By taking a simple test you will be able to figure out where you fall on the personality spectrum whether you are an extrovert or introvert, sensitive or intuitive, whether you choose feeling over thinking, or if you are a judger or perceiver. After taking the Myers Briggs Personality test, I became more aware of my personality and what career path would be most suitable for me. I am an ENFJ, which stands for; extrovert, intuitive, feeling, and judging. Overall, I am very tuned into the feelings of others, responsible and tend to be a leader. Loyal, responsive, and sympathetic are some of the other traits that I possess. When I first read through the description on both the handout in class and further online on kiersey.com, I could not believe how accurate it was. One of the most accurate reflections of my personality was on personalitydesk.com where they described ENFJ’s as “quick to devote themselves entirely to helping a friend, and are hurt deeply when the sentiment is not reciprocated.” I am always willing to help my family and friends wholeheartedly and never...

These five traits consist of agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, and neuroticism. Judge and Higgins (1999) conducted a study researching the similarities of the big five personality traits and the general mental abilities and success in careers. It seems that when talking about career success the three most talked about traits out of the big five are extraversion, neuroticism, and conscientiousness. They found that when extraversion is brought up it consists of having an abundant social ability, however as Watson and Clark (1997) commented defining them as being “more...

...dramatic impact on the learning process, students, and teachers if not controlled properly. They also have a great impact on classroom management. How well you manage your classroom will reflect on the behavior of the student. I had the pleasure of interviewing my ex 6th grade teacher for this assignment. I asked her what were the 10 negative classroom conditions and/or disruptive behaviors that influenced her teaching environment. She explained to me how the behaviors vary depending on the grade level (Bell 2013). She provided me with details of what she sees in a high school setting. Charles also gives us the 10 examples of classroom conditions and/or disruptive behaviors in our textbook. The 10 are; unmet needs, expediency, thwarted desires, lack of school/class resources, temptation, inappropriate habits, poor behavior choice, avoidance, egocentric personality, and the inability for students to learn properly. A disruptive behavior that Mrs. Bell pointed out was the inability for students to learn properly when a misbehaved student is present. She explained how some behavior could be tolerated but some disruptive behaviors go beyond rudeness. A student who monopolizes discussion or speaks on particular subjects with absolutely no relevance to the lesson that is being taught is exhibiting misbehavior. She pointed out how this is called grandstanding, or showing off. However for a student to be less misbehaved, a teacher must know and meet student needs. One of the most important...

...exist three main factors that influence the development of the personality. They are: heredity, social encirclement and education. Good and Bad Teachers Essay Parents usually use the term of education meaning to make great impact on the future personality of their children. Nowadays, when parents are very busy, teachers are the people who teach children what is right and what is wrong. Children learn to perceive the inner world through the teachers. And the way they perceive it depends on the teacher’s personal particularities that are transmitted to children through interaction and the knowledge that the teacher offers them. Therefore there is much more to a teacher than high professionalism. High professionalism in the field of the taught subject is very important, but when it comes to being a bad or a good teacher this is not main factor. A good teacher is a person who not just reproduces the knowledge he got or that brings up the interest to the subject. It is a person who finds individual approach to every student, taking care about the child’s adaptation in class, increasing one’s social status in class and making sure the children learn to take into account and respect the thoughts of other people. It is a man or a woman that can not “play” the teacher’s role but he in the first place “ a feeling human being” in front of the students, a person that can show emotional response. For example, if the teacher is professionally good enough but does not take critics from the...

First we must know what famous is, famous is “widely known, and honored for achievement” (Merriam-Webster). In this paper we will explore the importance of Marie Curie. We will examine her background, family dynamics, and her influences of heredity and environment psychological development, how her family and support systems have helped to influence her development in growth and adjustment. We will also examine two different theories of personality that best describe Marie, and which theoretical approach best explains Marie’s behaviors and achievements. Marie Curie was born in 1867 in a town called Warsaw in Poland (Jardines, 2011). Marie came from a family that was very small. Her mother died when she was ten years old leaving her to live with her father. When Marie was a teenager she attended a school that was a secret and was called “Floating University” (Jardines, 2011). This school had a secret name that would change regularly for the simple fact of detection by the Russians. The Floating University was a school of physics and natural history. As Marie continued to grow up her father was a science teacher that could not afford to send Marie to college. Marie worked until...
