D.4 Personality Dynamics for Self-Mastery

            The client usually follows every direction that his parents give to him he also obeys it. The child can handle his own problem that comes in his life and also he can solve it by his own self. The child can do his own assignment by himself, but sometimes if he feels that he can’t do it by his own, he tell it to his mother to help his problem.

D.5 Personality Dynamics for Relationship

            The client is enjoying playing his toys and he want to play by him self. He has a self-confidence to communicate and to talk to other people special with his neighbors and even if he saw another people that is not familiar to him, he tell it to the person what is her name, where you live? And other questions that my client what to know about this person. But in some cases if he don’t like the person that he saw in their house or even in their school, he tell it that the person is ‘bad’.

D.6 Personality Dynamics for Actions

            I noticed that my client is very energetic and active in terms of doing an activity in here house or even in here school. An activity that the child does usually do is playing his toys, coloring some coloring books and he wants to buy some junk foods in every snack time. The skills that the child knew are recognizing every cartoon character that he saw in the television, he can understand some words that is familiar to him and also pictures in the books. H always wants to dance with his eldest brother, because his brother evan is a dancer in their school. He can move gracefully and actively.


Section E. Theoretical Framework

In this Diagram, we can see different factors that can affect the behavior of Dave. The first factor is Dave is 3rd child and he is the youngest brother of Mr. and Mrs. Lonzaga. His younger sister Jen, he always jealous with him, when he saw her mother bonding with his younger sister, he always do something that can catch the attention of his mother and that is the third factor which is Lack of Attention. The last factor is aggressive, because when the time that he play with his playmates he always grab the toy of his playmates and after he grab it he throw it into the trashcan.


According to the theory of search theory about:

• Individual Psychology
• Albert Bandura
• Aggressive Behavior

   Section F. Prognosis

         According to the mother of Steven Daniel, the problem of her child is lack of attention, because he always does something that can catch the attention of his mother.

            According to the teacher of Steven Daniel, he is very talk active, because when Mrs. Dela Cruz give an activity to her class dave is the first person who approach to him what is their activity for to day and he volunteer to become a leader to his group. He likes to talk and talk every time his classmates and he always make a story telling about his favorite cartoon character Ben 10. And also sometimes dave is aggressive to the point that he push and bite his classmate, because he didn't borrowed his pencil to dave.

            And, according to my observation in their house, Steven Daniel always wants to play with his favorite toy Ben 10 and after of his class he also wants to watch television, because this it the time that he watch his favorite cartoon character Ben 10 and spongebob, after that if he saw his mother carrying his younger sister jen, he do something that can catch the attention of his mother like he throw away all of his toy and he cry out loud. As I observed him outside in their house, he always brought all of his toys and he called his playmate Rj and after a minute, if he saw the toys of his playmate Rj he grab the toys and he throw it in the trash can.

           

I guess the reasons why Steven Daniel acting like aggressive is because, he always want the attention of his family, because when the time that he saw his mother bonding with his younger sister he always do something that can catch the attention of his mother. When the time his younger sister was born all of the attention of his parent’s esp. of his mother is in their younger sister. He always jealous, because he feels that he is not important and he didn’t love anymore of his parents. And another factor is peer pressure of his environment, because every time that he is in outside in their home he always aggressive every time he play with his playmates and he feels neglected with his environment that’s why he acted like that. 

Section G. Therapeutic Plan

              My solution to the problem of a child is to realize to every family member that they need a cooperation and effective interaction in their family. By providing a new model with appropriate behavior to the child. Describing the consequences of behavior can effectively increase the behavior and decrease misbehavior. And also by giving to the child express his feelings or emotions in a nice way and by helping the parents to understand the situation and behavior of their child. They can help their child to change the misbehavior of it. Punishment is the one that they can use for their child not exposing always in the television with violent action; because what the children see in the television they can imitate it. Let the child play with his peers or playmates by the use of their toys does not harmful for them and also some educational activities that poster and develop their skills.  And allow them to talk in a nice way with respect to the older person, to interaction with other people to have a harmonious relationship.

Section J. Therapeutic Results

        The improvement of the behavior of Steven Daniel was improved. Steven Daniel learned how to control his feelings if he is angry, because his mother gives an advice to him and he learned that being jealous his not good behavior. All of these behavior were developed by Steven Daniel, but I thought it still depend on him on how long he is control his misbehavior.

          The common problem of Steven Daniel is jealous and very aggressive. These are the misbehavior that affects the behavior of Steven Daniel. Now Steven Daniel is enjoyed playing with his peers and he did not throw the toy of his playmates, because his mother always reminds him that it is not good for him.

Steven Daniel needs a time and comfort with his parents, because when the time that he was jealous this is the time he gets aggressive. I think it should not really removed all the misbehavior instead, it is improved for the child who only wants to learn new things with his environment and if he learn how to control his misbehavior.

Section K. Summary

          I have conducted an observation about the child have an aggressive behavior. In the learning theory consider that the child learns from their parents or adults including such concepts as observational learning, imitating and modeling some people in their environment. The impression, causes and result of the problem of the child have identified by using different strategies, techniques and theories. Because of the techniques that I had used to develop the skills, knowledge, and attitude of my client, the child know how to control his misbehavior or being an aggressive and he always enjoyed playing with his peers. Steven Daniel needs a time and comfort with his parents, because when the time that he was jealous this is the time he gets aggressive. I think it should not really removed all the misbehavior instead, it is improved for the child who only wants to learn new things with his environment and if he learn how to control his misbehavior.

Recommendation

    I recommend that the parents need to aware all the actions and behavior of their child, because one of the factor that affects the behavior of the child is when the parents have no time to bonding with their children. They should be aware about their actions to their child, because maybe the child can imitate it. And each of the members of the family has a responsibility to guide and to teach the appropriate behavior that a child should do. The parents need to learn on how to foster the freedom to choose but have limitations to avoid an unnecessary behavior. The parents should have a communication to their children, they always remind them of the good behavior and they have a comfort and care with all of their children without favoritism. They need also a respect for both parents and children.

Section L. Implication to Education and Assessment of young children

        As a future teacher, I should be a role model in May students and I help them to develop their skills and also I have enough information on how to assess the young children, but this is not enough to assess immediately the ECED children without any knowledge about the concepts, principles and theories. It only shows that children cannot assessed easily especially in just one meeting. Instead, in has a long process in order to discover the reason behind maladaptive behavior of children.

            As a teacher, I can say that I should not judge my students immediately especially those who act misbehaviors. I must understand their first, and then it’s time for me now to help them cope up with certain maladaptive behavior.

            In terms of assessment, teachers should avoid biases in observing children so that they can yield real resolution and reason about the problem.

SUMMARY IN ECED 11

SUMMARY IN ECED 11

Group 2: DETERMINE IF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS NEEDED

As teachers begin to engage in the authentic assessment process, or perhaps even before they may become aware of the need for additional information. As teacher evaluator must be aware about the children’s growth development and learning in order to know the children’s ability, skills in the particular age or stage of development, so that the teacher will think what kind of authentic assessment and teaching strategies can be used to DAP. And also teacher must be aware on how to integrate the past learning experiences to the present and bring you to going back to reality. Teacher begins to understand the instruction and assessment in one setting can produce multiple learning’s and assessment in a variety of developmental and curricular areas. Lastly the teacher must understand the individual differences and the developmental benchmarks.

 Teachers will need to think through their management and recordkeeping system in implementing the authentic assessment process. Again, there is no one correct way to operate. It is important for the teachers to select a management procedure that works for them.

*Internalizing ongoing Authentic Assessment

 Teachers need to internalize the place of the authentic assessment process within the total evaluation system and ultimately, in going improvement of the curriculum.

*Mandated Test

There are many mandated test that teacher can be used to assess the children’s weakness and strengthens and using the test scores the teacher should not be classified, labeled, grouped the students to intensive remediation on the basis of one standardized. There are some common mistakes in the use of standardized test information should be avoided such as halo effect, deficit effect, subject success effect, skill drill effect, because it can create biases to the students.

*Plan for Summative Assessments

 The summative assessment is done during the implementation of a program on a curriculum and it provides feedback for the improvement of instruction on the improvement of a particular program. Based on the test result the teacher will think the next step. While the summative assessment is conducted after the completion of a unit on a program. It provides an overall judgments of a success or failure. The summative assessment process includes five steps:

·        Identify the child’s strengths.

·        Document evidence of progress in learning and development.

·        Identify concerns.

·        Identify strategies to continued development.

·        Celebrate emerging development with the child and parent.

HERSHEY'S THERAPY

personal therapy

View of Human Nature

  The person or a child is the product of his environment and behavior . A child is sensitive and has capable of learning. They need encouragement, guidance and support from his parents and environment. The environment, experiences, behavior and beliefs help the young children to grow up as sensitive human.

THREE HERSHEY'S PATTERNS

• Outcomes
• Behaviors
• Environment  

Maladaptive Behavior

   The relationship of the person to their environment can create negative behavior because of rejection, neglectful without support, guidance of environment. It can result unloving environment, lack of self responsibility, decreasing self achievements and become careless. Because of the effect of the environment the behavior of the person will be changed into dangerous and unacceptable behavior like defiant aggressive, bully,jealous and other negative behavior. Decreasing of self-esteem, lack of acceptance by the environment and maybe a  bad person.

But if the relationship of the person to thier environment is good, because of adequate support and guidance to the person, full engouragement and other it can result loving environment, and result to a good person.

Goals of the therapy

   To create an acceptable environment with appropriate response, encouragement, free from choices, safe for everybody, and have responsibility to provide the needs of a sensitive human.

Function of the therapist

   To guide the person or client in to acceptable behavior with a good environment and to reinforce the good behavior and to diminish the bad behavior.

Techniques in Teaching

•    Reinforcement

•    Role playing

•    Encouragement

•    Games 

 

Christmas For Sale

CHRISTMAS FOR SALE

Christmas, Christmas will visit again. Oh no? What can I do this coming Christmas? I have no idea what is Christmas?. Christmas is the time of giving and sacrificing but how? I’m only a future teacher, what is my role? I know my role is to guide, to create a lesson plan, to facilitate and to teach young children, because of Christmas I will change it.

Christmas is an important part of childhood experiences, because there are some happy moments that the child is experiencing. The child has opportunity to enjoy and to experience Christmas day.

As a teacher I will be know on how to explain what is Christmas for a young children. Why we need to celebrate Christmas? Who is Santa Claus and what is the purpose of Christmas in every people?  These are the common question of the young children that we should be know on how to elucidate for young children. The word Christmas is familiar for young children, because they expected that they can receive beautiful gifts from their ‘ninongs and ninangs and they feel excitement.

The role of a teacher is to explain and to guide the young children to know the purpose of Christmas. Christmas is another way of giving special something to your someone who loves you and also for someone who hates you.

  
 If we explained the Christmas concept correctly the child could create a concept about Christmas in a positive way. They can share the love of Christmas so that other people can feel the essence of Christmas.

The essence of Christmas is to spread the love and joy to another people. So that you will feel the good breeze of Christmas and you will smell the fragrance of Christmas.

The Christmas will visit again and I will feel again. From now on I will start the day with enjoyment, excitement, new hope and love again to sell my Christmas to other person.
