...behaviors. Self-esteem sets it’s foundations in our childhood and develops throughout our lives. There are four distinctive parenting styles that reflect ourselves later in life. The types are Authoritative parenting, Authoritarian parenting, Permissive parenting, and Neglectful parenting. Authoritative parenting is a style where the parent(s) have a lot of emotional support with firm limits on what their child can and can’t do. This parenting style has a high acceptance of their children as well as high control. Authoritative parenting is shown to have produced people with high self-esteem and shows that it could also reduce adolescent smoking and drinking (Piko and Balázas, 2012). Authoritarian parenting style refers to having very strong rules, limits, and restrictions with a distant emotional support system. These types of parents are very strict and are limited with showing emotions and connections to their child. This is an example of what most people call “tough love”. Permissive parenting is described as having high emotional support with few or...

...seen during the past century are telegraph communications, photographic technologies, and personal computers that were on the rise rapidly. Today’s culture grabs distinct technologies to share tasks and resources, in short terms, media convergence (Lule 2012). A main advancement that paved the way for other infrastructures is telegraph communication. This level of work made a way to make it easier to communicate that according to Lule (2012), communication was no longer linked to the physical transportation of messages… Suddenly, information from distant places was nearly as accessible as local news. Lule (2012) also described how those telegraph line turned into thier version of the World Wide Web. Using telegraph communication led into the advancements in wireless communications. That improvement made a smooth transition into radio, television, and other broadcast Medias. Not long after this advancement, this allowed media networks, for example, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) and the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) to dominate the airways (Lule, 2012). Once these inventions and new methods were constructed, they immediately took part in American homes. With radio and televisions shows emerging the 19th-century home was beginning to embrace the fact that media was taking a part in American life. While media technologies were advancing with the telegraph and wireless new ways of living, photographic technologies was rapidly rising as well. As mentioned...

...and relate this goal back to instructor’s style of teaching economics as well as what economic literacy means. One definition of economic literacy is the ability to go beyond classroom learning and to use economic concepts in one’s own life, even years after being in the classroom ( Salemi, 2005). 2.2 Economic Education Economics education involves the use of appropriate teaching methodology in the understanding of economics as a concept and facilitates the in-depth residual knowledge of the learners in order for them to contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of the society. Economics education involves imparting knowledge effectively by making use of learners centered approaches to promote learner self confidence in tackling economic problems (NOU,2012). 2.3 Present State of Economic Education There has been a great deal of research on economic education. Much of the research has focused on the effectiveness of economics courses, which in turn has engendered discussions on what the goal of economic education should be and how to achieve that goal, specifically what curriculum should be followed and what, if any, instructional techniques have the biggest impact (Lisa, 2012). One of the studies claimed that economics has not been given its rightful place in the secondary school curriculum in the country. It reported that economics is yet...

A famous philosopher once said the worlds in utopia referring to the world being perfect and if it didn’t turn out to be this way then there wouldn’t be any way it could have turned out to be. The advantageous methods of technology towards me in our daily life in regards with education have had a massive growth and an enormous impact on our daily lives. Some of the research questions that would come to mind would be: What the major influences technological advanced education had upon us or has the technological advanced education benefited students and teachers? The key finding about my issue from the sources I found as I explored my topic were very interesting. As I explored I realized that advancement in education makes the life easier for all education fields and it speed up the long process such as projects/assignments. Moreover it also enhances the education system by developed ideas. Technology is the development over time of techniques for making and doing things. According to the oxford dictionary; education is the process of training a person’s mind so that they can acquire knowledge. The combination of education and technology has been considered the main key to human progress. Education feeds technology, which in turn forms the basis for education. The acquiring of knowledge allowed man to develop technological aid to make life easier...

...not experienced the luxury have fallen behind the wagon and under prepared for the innovative future. According to Kristen Wrinkler, from her article “Free Internet-Based Education Can Change Education” she explains that the use of modern technology like the internet has caused students to learn at a rate which is sufficient enough for them. Khan Academy has been made notorious for being a large change in the world for educating children that may not access to certain materials. 82% of children who have attended a classroom based education have shown to go to the internet when needing more clarification for subjects that did not fully understand. Personally, we should fund more of these online teaching programs in order to aid in the learning for those students that have missed assignments are impaired from going to school due to sickness or disability. Most convincingly, people who have lived without education have shown to be illiterate but handier and clever in other fields that require more use physical skill rather than mental skill. For example, to summarize some important points in Dr. Jim Taylor article he wrote for Psychology Today, he explains that technology has changed the wiring of brains for children of all ages. The article explains that children who play games for prolonged periods of times are exposed to multiple stimuli which can lead to decreased memory retention skills and lack of a focusing ability or in other words ADHD.

...health, decreasing the need for individuals to seek services outside their communities, increasing the likelihood of treatment, and decreasing the inequities of mental health treatment options and access. Telemental Health Use and Considerations Telemental health (TMH) services can be easily set up at a community health center, school, doctor’s office, and in some cases an individual’s home. According to the American Tele Medicine Association (2013), this service is either contracted through urban healthcare facilities, privately found online, or through companies that hire mental health providers and facilitate conferencing set-up. After a provider is found the contracted company or facility where TMH will be provided will need to set up a computer with professional quality cameras, audio equipment, and video conferencing software that has confidentiality, verification, and security features. All mental health sessions should be encrypted using advanced FIPS encryption standards (Coleman et. al., 2013). Studies show there is no statistical difference between conventional therapy and TMH, patients who receive therapy from electronic modalities show high satisfaction rates (Novotney, 2011). TMH...

Does my spiritual have an impact on how I view myself? I have to take a step back into my past to view my challenges and obstacles. My challenges and obstacles will make or break me. I have to make a decision of what I choose to do with what I go through. Introduction Human growth and development affect daily lives and how a person will develop. My life brought great times and not so good times. With going through these different experiences, it brought about who I am today. I never thought as a child how my choices and experiences would influence my life, as I grew older. Childhood experiences have great influence on how a person grows mentally, physically and, unbelievably, spiritually. I believe that is true in my life due to the childhood experiences I had. A person does not realize how their childhood affected them until something actually occurs, as they grow older. Looking back into my life, I know that even though not all of my experiences were great, they made me who I am today. Early Childhood Between the ages of three and six, this was the beginning of how I would view life now. As a child, you do not think about the choices you make and affects of them. How I learned to do things and execute them, showed my development growth and what I should know during those...

Catrina Coleman 000410159 GRAD 0714 Catrina Coleman 000410159 GRAD 0714 There is no one acceptable management personality/style in today’s society as there was in the not so distant past. As recent as the early nineteenth century and through-out distant history the boss was the boss and what he said was how things were done…good or bad. Employees had no say in day to day operations nor were their opinions and ideas valued; rather they were admonished and possibly even receive harsh punishment or criticism for expressing ideas or concern. As time and people have evolved a multitude of management styles have surfaced and come to the forefront of the administrative world. There are many differing factors that affect the style the manager chooses to model his/her self after. These factors include but are not limited to work environment, type of project needing to be completed, and expectations of the administrating body. There are still management styles that employee opinions are not welcomed or needed but there are...

...Exams Assessment is the systematic collection, review, and use of information about Educational programs undertaken for the purpose of improving learning and Development (Palomba, & Banta, 1999). Assessment generally involves measurement, testing and evaluation the terms, which are mostly confused by many people. Test or Test Instrument is a systematic procedure for measuring a sample of an individual's behavior, such as multiple-choice, performance test, open book among others (Brown, 1971). Evaluation on the other hand is a systematic process for the collection and use of information from many sources to be applied in interpreting the results and in making value judgments and decisions (Wolansky, 1985). While measurement is the process employed to obtain a quantified representation of the degree to which a learner reflects a trait or behavior. This is one of the many scores that an individual may achieve on a test (Wolansky, 1985). In assessing any instrument or program one should not lose the sight of the fact that a test cannot be analyzed objectively on its quality, validity, reliability and objectivity without linking it to the whole educational curriculum or the instructional design. So generally, the discussion to follow is a sound and concrete flow of ideas to link the exam test features to the educational curriculum or the school instructional design and a clear demonstration of the...
