Presentation made several years ago about the nature and needs of adolescence and how these ideas should influence the nature of science curriculum and science learning activities.
This document provides an overview of key topics that will be covered in a sociology GCSE revision session, including definitions of sociology, socialization, primary and secondary socialization, and sociological terminology like canalization and appellation. The session will examine what sociology is, its relationship to other disciplines, the rationale behind it, and processes of socialization.
Historical overview of theories on adolescencerease555
Theories on adolescence have evolved over time. Early philosophers like Plato viewed adolescence as a transitional phase requiring special guidance and education. Later theorists such as Hall proposed adolescence involved "storm and stress" as youth struggle with emotions and identity. Erikson described identity development vs. confusion as the major conflict of adolescence. Modern views recognize variability in adolescent experiences and acknowledge influences of gender, culture and environment rather than one universal theory.
This document discusses internal and external factors that influence gender differences in educational achievement. Externally, changes in family structure, women's employment opportunities, and girls' changing ambitions have encouraged girls to pursue higher education and see their future as more independent. Internally, equal opportunity policies, more female teachers and role models, changes to assessment like coursework, and efforts to challenge stereotypes in curricula have helped narrow the gender gap or favor girls in some cases. However, radical feminists argue that schools remain patriarchal and limit girls' full potential.
This document discusses how to teach children with Down syndrome. It notes that education for these children is necessary to develop problem-solving skills and should focus on life lessons and relevant topics. The school aims to help children with special needs relate to others and be seen without prejudice by regular students. While some children with Down syndrome require medical attention, others can lead healthy lives. The document outlines different educational needs for children with and without disabilities. It also discusses the complex curricula needed for children with Down syndrome and the challenges of teaching mathematics. Special education aims to support overall learning processes and maximize personal development for children with special needs.
This document discusses psycho-social issues related to exploitation and delinquency of children. It defines exploitation as the abuse of individuals for financial or other benefits that negatively impact their health and development. Exploitation includes child labor, trafficking, and recruitment of underage children. Vulnerable groups like street children and those in conflict/displaced areas are at higher risk. Delinquency refers to failure to meet societal obligations and norms, especially for children in poor urban areas with lack of support systems. Causes include bad influences, lack of parental supervision, and inadequate school/recreational facilities. Both exploitation and delinquency violate children's fundamental rights to protection.
Sex Education for Adolescents with Mild-Moderate Learning DisabilitiesLouise O' Flynn
An exploration into the necessity for sexual education for Irish adolescents with mild/moderate learning disabilities. What's there already, what do we need, and what are the children saying?
The document proposes a program called FYI - Feed Your Intellect at Bronx Early College Academy. The program aims to educate middle school students about mindful eating habits and lifestyle changes. It would be integrated into the health curriculum and other subjects. Goals are to increase awareness of eating and promote principles of mindful eating. The program would partner with local organizations and involve student outreach to families. Assessment of the program would include observations, surveys and performance-based projects.

A keynote at the launch of
Cultural Journeys in Higher Education
Jan Bamford and Lucie Pollard
Published: Emerald 2019
Description:
The cultural diversity of university student populations can be seen to reflect the changing demographics of an increasingly international mobile workforce. The implications of the growing migrant population and differing communication patterns in the classroom is a highly under-researched area. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education provides a unique insight into the cultural experiences of university recounted through the students' narratives and voices.
This book explores the increasingly culturally diverse composition of the student body and its impact on student learning. The need to negotiate differing cultural scripts and adapting to the new cultural landscape when students arrive at university are just a few of the experiences addressed within this important text. Cultural Journeys in Higher Education navigates the issue of curriculum delivery through the eyes of those who receive the education and questions whether a new approach is needed to adapt to an increasingly culturally diverse student body.
The student experience is a central focus of this book, giving researchers, practitioners and leaders in education a unique perspective that will enable them to further understand the cultural framework that underpins Higher Education.
This document outlines a proposed program called "FYI - Feed Your Intellect" to be implemented at Bronx Early College Academy. The program aims to educate middle school students about mindful eating habits and lifestyle changes related to food. It will be integrated into the health curriculum and other subjects. Goals are to increase student awareness of what they eat and how it makes them feel. The program will include activities like health journals, trips to the local farmer's market, and infusing topics into various classes. It aims to help students make healthier choices and share what they learn with their families.
This document discusses socialization, which is defined as the process of learning the norms, beliefs and values of a society or social group. It describes the four functions of socialization as establishing basic principles, forming identity, teaching social roles, and teaching skills. The major agents of socialization discussed are the family, school, peer group, mass media and workplace. The document also covers the phases of socialization across the lifespan and the concepts of resocialization and anticipatory socialization.

This document discusses concepts of age and identity. It notes that age is a social construct, as people may dress and act younger than their biological age. Cultures value age differently, with some respecting the elderly. Youth is defined as ages 12-25 and associated with rebellion and popular culture. Middle age has no set definition but most see it as 40-55. Old age is also socially constructed, though 85+ is the fastest growing group in the UK. Stereotypes of old age include loneliness and dependence, but some see it as a time for reflection. The document ends with an interactive game to determine if images shown are young, middle aged, or old.

Minerals are inorganic nutrients that are essential for the proper functioning of the human body. There are two types of minerals - macro minerals which are needed in large amounts, and trace minerals which are needed in small amounts. Minerals play important roles such as building bones and teeth, facilitating energy production and oxygen transport, and maintaining electrolyte and acid-base balance. Common minerals include calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and zinc. Deficiencies of minerals can lead to conditions like anemia, osteoporosis, and rickets, while excessive intake of some minerals may also cause health issues. We rely on obtaining minerals through our diet and supplements to support overall health and wellness.
Organisational Change Management (OCM) is a critical component of many successful ERP projects. Despite this, the term Change Management is one which is not well understood by many ERP practitioners or by most ERP users. There is often a general sense that it covers the softer, people-related issues that arise during ERP implementation projects and that as a result, OCM itself is an ill-defined and woolly concept.
This paper sets out to dispel this view by defining OCM in ERP projects very clearly in terms of strategy, constituent work streams and implementation tasks.

The functions of water is an important section of work in Biology but can be tedious to teach. This slide-show shows the wonders of water as a polar molecule and how water has amazing properties such as capillarity, hydrolysis, and can float as ice. Water is a stable habitat for aquatic organisms, is a universal solvent, a reactant in many chemical processes and makes up 2/3 of the bodies of most organisms.

Minerals are inorganic elements needed by the body for functions like building tissues, regulating fluids, and assisting in bodily processes. Major minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and potassium are required in amounts greater than 100mg daily, while trace minerals such as iron, iodine, and zinc are needed in lesser amounts. The document provides details on common food sources, functions, and deficiency/toxicity symptoms for each major and trace mineral.
Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that our bodies need to function properly. Vitamins are organic compounds that must be obtained through our diets and help with growth, development, cell maintenance and energy production. There are two types of vitamins - fat soluble (A, D, E, K) and water soluble (the B vitamins and C). Minerals like calcium, iron and magnesium are also important for building bones and tissues, blood health, muscle function and many biochemical reactions. The document provides information on the roles and food sources of various vitamins and minerals.
Mineral nutrients are needed in the body and come from the foods we eat. They play important roles like building bones, cell membranes, and teeth or functioning as electrolytes, even though the body cannot manufacture them. The document lists several key minerals like calcium, chlorine, copper, iodine, iron, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, and zinc and discusses their functions and major food sources.
The document provides information about mineral resources and mining. It defines a mineral resource and describes India's national mineral scenario. It then lists various common minerals found in India, their estimated life expectancies, and their main locations and uses. The document discusses different types of surface mining and underground mining techniques. It also outlines some environmental effects of mining such as deforestation, pollution from tailings dams, subsidence from coal mining, and dispersal of heavy metals. Finally, it suggests actions that can be taken to reduce resource use and promote sustainability.
The document discusses the molecular structure and properties of water. It notes that water is a polar molecule, with slightly positive and negative ends due to the uneven sharing of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with each other and other polar substances. The hydrogen bonding between water molecules gives water many unique properties that help to moderate Earth's temperature and make it suitable for life, including its high heat capacity, ability to change state from solid to liquid to gas, and ability to dissolve many other substances.
1) Minerals are naturally formed solid substances with a crystal structure that are not alive and have a definite volume and shape.
2) All minerals share characteristics of being formed by natural processes, having a unique chemical makeup, and being made up of particles arranged in a repeating crystal pattern.
3) Minerals are grouped based on their chemical composition, with the most abundant group being silicates containing oxygen and silica like quartz and mica.
This document discusses minerals, their economic importance, depletion, and the need for conservation. It notes that minerals are essential resources but non-renewable, as their formation occurs over millions of years. While minerals provide the base for industry and jobs, the large-scale exploitation since the Industrial Revolution has resulted in decreasing supplies and increasing demand. Conservation efforts are needed to use minerals sustainably and reduce waste so they can last for future generations.
This document discusses vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It describes the fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, how deficiencies can be primary or secondary, and provides details on specific vitamin deficiencies like vitamins A, D, and C. Vitamin A deficiency can cause night blindness and xerophthalmia. Vitamin D deficiency results in rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Scurvy is caused by vitamin C deficiency and is characterized by bone disease and hemorrhages.
This document discusses vitamins, minerals, and water. It explains that vitamins and minerals regulate body functions and must be ingested daily through foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Dark leafy greens contain the most vitamins and minerals. Water carries nutrients through the body, regulates temperature, and prevents dehydration. We should drink half our body weight in ounces of water daily. The document then provides details on specific vitamins (A, D, E, K, C, B vitamins) and minerals, their functions, sources, deficiencies, and toxicities.

This document provides an overview of the physical properties of minerals. It begins with an introduction defining minerals and dividing them into rock-forming and ore-forming categories. The main section then discusses 13 physical properties of minerals including color, streak, lustre, hardness, habit, cleavage, fracture, feel, tenacity, magnetism, fluorescence, specific gravity and form. Each property is explained and examples are provided. The document concludes with comparison tables showing properties of common minerals like pyrite, hematite, magnetite and bauxite.
This document summarizes key information about vitamins. It defines vitamins as organic molecules that serve essential functions in the body as cofactors for enzymatic reactions, though they are required in small amounts and must be obtained through diet. The document outlines the two types of vitamins - fat soluble (A, D, E, K) and water soluble (B complex, C) - and provides details on individual vitamins, including their roles, deficiency symptoms, dietary sources, and recommended daily values.
This document discusses adolescent learners and effective strategies for teaching them. It outlines the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional characteristics of adolescence. Some key challenges adolescents face are mood swings, self-consciousness, and seeking independence. The document recommends that teachers support adolescent development by allowing physical activity and open discussion, fostering critical thinking skills, and encouraging parental involvement. It also stresses the importance of managing student stress, capitalizing on their interest in technology, building strong teacher-student relationships, and motivating teens through inspiration.

This document summarizes a presentation about exploring mental health awareness and obstacles among Chinese international students. It discusses common issues international students face related to identity, acculturation, social class, discrimination, and communication styles. The top four psychological challenges are identified as separation from parents, issues of face and shame in Chinese culture, clashes between Chinese and Western cultures, and challenges with identity formation during college. Barriers to seeking treatment include low mental health literacy, stigma, and cultural beliefs. The presentation provides recommendations for programming, outreach, and addressing myths to improve mental health support for these students.
This document discusses cultural influences on parenting. It defines culture and describes two main cultural models of parenting - the interdependent/collectivist model and the independent model. The interdependent model, practiced in Asia and Africa, emphasizes the importance of the social group over the individual. The independent model, practiced in Europe and North America, emphasizes independence and individual agency. Cultural transmission occurs through habituation, social interactions, emotional and cognitive processes. Socioeconomic status and poverty can also influence parenting beliefs and behaviors.
William O. Donnelly - Conversations with adolescentsPlain Talk 2015
This document discusses effective strategies for communicating health information to adolescents. It notes that while parents and adults still need information, directly engaging teens in conversations is developmentally appropriate. Motivational interviewing techniques that explore risks and benefits in a non-confrontational way can help teens reflect on issues. Interactive tools using stories, data, and peer perspectives are suggested. Examples provided include online simulations to train educators and classroom programs using role plays and stories.
This document provides information about Learning Disability Awareness Month, AD/HD Awareness, and National Youth Justice Awareness Month. It discusses the Community Learning Enhancement Institute (CLEI) Task Force, which was initiated to develop a one-stop facility called CLEI to provide educational and developmental supports. CLEI's mission is to help clients achieve their potential through addressing various needs using theoretical frameworks like Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The document outlines CLEI's services and administration.
The document provides an introduction to educational psychology and adolescent development. It discusses key concepts in educational psychology including learning, thinking, development and motivation. It then focuses on defining adolescence and perspectives on adolescent development, including historical views and stereotypes. Finally, it covers processes and periods of adolescent development, applying Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory to understand the social contexts that influence development. Understanding development enables teachers to implement developmentally appropriate practices.
The document discusses mental health issues among students in school systems. It notes that many students deal with stress, anxiety, and depression both at school and home, which impacts their ability to focus and attend class, and in some cases leads to drug use. The author aims to research how common mental illnesses are among students, the impact of school on student mental health, and ways to help students while still educating them in a calm and safe environment. Potential challenges include distinguishing between mental illnesses and disorders, the sensitive nature of the topic, and properly diagnosing students. The issue is relevant as hundreds of students suffer from anxiety and are not focusing on their education, turning to drugs instead of getting help.
This document provides an overview of child development. It discusses historical views of childhood including the original sin view, tabula rasa view, and innate goodness view. It also outlines key aspects of the modern study of child development including methods used, theories proposed by scientists like Gesell and Freud, and factors that influence children's development like culture, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and gender. The document emphasizes improving children's lives through health, parenting, education and resilience. It also examines developmental processes involving biological, cognitive and socio-emotional changes throughout the lifespan.
The document discusses sexuality education needs from childhood through adulthood, including educating parents, schools, medical professionals, and communities. It provides guidelines for age-appropriate sexuality education curricula and addressing topics like puberty, relationships, STDs, and more. Challenges and roles of different groups in providing comprehensive sexuality education are examined.
September 2013 social construction of everyday life 1fatima d
This document discusses the social construction of everyday life and gender. It introduces concepts like socialization, which is defined as a lifelong process through which people learn cultural norms. Key agents of socialization that influence development include family, peers, media, and education. Theories around nature versus nurture are examined. Influential microsociologists like Erving Goffman and his idea of social performances, and Harold Garfinkel's ethnomethodology concept are summarized. The document concludes by noting how gender is socially constructed through everyday interactions and behaviors.
This document discusses the social construction of gender. It argues that gender roles are created by society and culture, rather than biology alone. Gender socialization occurs through various institutions like family, media, school, and religion. Gender-based harassment in schools polices gender boundaries and links masculinity to bullying. Depression rates may also differ between boys and girls in high school due to academic and social pressures as well as biological changes. Adolescents' views of adulthood can be constrained by gender expectations. Body image is affected by multiple social factors during puberty. Finally, teachers' own gender biases can impact their perceptions of students' abilities in math and other subjects.
This document discusses the social construction of childhood and how ideas about childhood have changed over time. It explores the shift from medieval childhood to modern western notions of childhood and the introduction of laws protecting children. It examines Postman's argument that childhood is disappearing due to the rise of television blurring distinctions between childhood and adulthood. Alternative views are presented that argue childhood has not disappeared and that western ideas of childhood are being globalized.
The newsletter provides updates on the Sociology Department at Cal State Fullerton. It discusses the increasing size of the department, with over 700 majors and 100 minors. It highlights faculty and students who presented research at a recent conference, covering topics such as courtship rituals, education policy, and the effects of colorism. The newsletter also profiles a faculty member and student and previews an upcoming course on the American drug scene.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

between early
adolescents & their
well being

– Exploration
– Guidance
– Differentiation
– Socialization
