question nu 1. The child's perception is much simpler than that of an adult. An adult perception is much more complex compared to a child because of various experiences and informations that an adult may have acquired for the past years of his/her life. While for a child, his perception is only based on the things that has recently learned and seen based on a child's perspective. Lets take for an instance the scenario of courting between a man and a woman. For a child, this is viewed as 'if you want her, go get her", like the stories seen in fairy tales. But for an adult, there are a lot of things to consider before courting a lady (etc. compatibility, availability, etc).
ReplyDeletequestion nu 2. It is best for a teacher to coordinate the case to the Guidance and Counselor of the school and then speak with the parents to encourage them to have the child be assessed by a doctor or a licensed professional for proper diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
ReplyDeletequestion nu 3. Initially there is a need to identify what are the requirements to address the developmental disability that the child is having. But in general it is suggested for the teachers and schools to: 1. managing the learning environment to prevent behavioral problem and promote learning ex use of visual queues, 2. post a clear and predictable daily schedules of activities, 3. use strategies to make direction and learning expectations clearly understood, 4. create a plan to make the student to generalize their learning across settings and situation.
ReplyDelete1. An adult’s perception is more intricate than a child’s perception. Unlike adults, children are able to keep information from their senses separate because their mind is fresh, it’s like a sponge that can store more information and experiences that they can use through time, and may therefore perceive the visual world differently because for them life is very simple they don’t mind anything they just want to play, eat and sleep. Unlike adult we think a lot of things bills, work, relationships and etc. It’s also based on our development, child’s development is progressive it’s fast unlike ours adults when we reach certain stage of maturation it stopped ex. Height, teeth, etc.
ReplyDeleteFor them it’s like counting 1,2,3 but for us adults it’s like x+y= b/a
2. ADHD is very common now a day even in school from where I’m teaching. Base on my experience I think that the best thing that I did is take time to research on ADHD, I take note of the things that can help my students in his situation. I see to it that I gave many activities not only to keep him busy but also for the class to enjoy music time. In addition to that maybe I can ask the assistance guidance councilor of the school with regards to his condition so he/she can conduct test and refer the child to a prescribed doctor. As I can see students like this can make or break the routine of the class because of his attention.
3. As a teacher I can help my students through: 1. making the classroom an enriched learning environment. 2. Plan transition for children from one academic setting to another. 3. Make an individual assessment of children who have some difficulty in settling into the school system, in areas as reported by school or family. 4. Identify the different learning needs in children. 5. Involve parents and students at each stage of the process.
1. Children perceive things in simpler way than adults do. This is because adults are already equipped with experiences and knowledge which they will use as bases for their decisions and perceptions. Children, on the other hand, having limited experiences have simpler or uncomplicated outlooks on different things.
ReplyDelete2. As a person who is not that familiar with the ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), I will allot time and effort on researching about this syndrome. I will also consider communicating with the child’s parents through the assistance of our school’s Guidance and Counselor for the conduct of proper test and diagnosis of the child’s situation.
3. As a teacher, I can help my students with ADHD by: (a) communicating with the child’s guardian for involvement; (b) developing strategies in support to child’s actions; (c) understanding/practicing a lot of patience towards the child’s attitude.
1. A child's percepcion is different from an adult in terms of experience, for example, lets compare a grade school kid from a college student. A grade school kid studies so their parents don't scold them and they get a prize after studying, in the view of the college student, they study because if he fails his future fails as well. So I could say the perspective of both adult and child depends on the consequences they will encounter after making a choice.
ReplyDelete2. As a teacher, the first thing that I will do is observe the student closely for a period of time and then consult with a professional advice and if he confirms that the child is indeed a possible case of ADHD that is the only time that I will inform the child's parents since I do not want them to panick and make it worse for the child.
3. There are a lot of ways to handle learning disabilities like enrolling the student suspected of developmental disability in remedial classes handled by teachers who specialize in their case. Another way is for the school to form a class specialized for these type of students wherein all of their teachers are SPED graduates. And of course inform the families of the child, that way they can consult with doctors and even be able to prevent the disability from getting worse.
1. How is a child's perception different from an adult?
ReplyDeleteThe perception of an adult and a child is uniquely distinct. Since a child is still in his or her formative years, his or her perception of things is basic. For example, a child would perceive and value playing and other fun activities as more important than other serious matters of life like his or her parent’s job. In the process, a child still naturally gathers information or knowledge of everything surrounding him or her which is involved in his or her development. The perception of a child develops according to the different stages he or she reaches until the stage where he or she can exercise his or her critical thinking, judgment and so on. However, an adult’s perception is more advanced due to numerous stages he or she already underwent not to mention the experiences he or she also had. An adult is no longer interested in basic knowledge since he or she is already aware of it. For example, he or she is no longer in need to know how to cut a fish. However, he or she may be interested to debone a fish in the easiest way. In receiving an information, an adult weighs and scrutinizes its authenticity while a child needs guidance for a child just readily receives any kind of information.
2. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your student having ADHD?
Since this is just a suspicion, as a teacher, I must observe the child and research further about ADHD at first. It is not proper to make a course of action without substantial basis. After ample observation and research, I will try my best to communicate with the child’s parents that they may do their own observation and research as well since the child spends more time at home. If the child indeed has ADHD, I would persuade the parents to take necessary action to help the child regarding this matter, a necessary action like professional help. While in the class, as a teacher, I must treat the child normally the way I treat others.
3. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental disability?
First of all, there must be cooperation among parents, teachers and the school of the child involved. The teacher must examine the needs of the child, his or her potentials, weaknesses and strengths. The teacher must also plan a suitable program to help the child. However, the teacher must coordinate this plan and program to the school for approval or further suggestion, comments and recommendation. In this program, there must be a chronological procedure wherein the steps would vary and advance depending on the performance of the child. A record must be kept and there must be a holistic assessment.
1. A child’s perception is different from an adult base on experience and maturity. A child thinks simply because he/she doesn’t have that much experience in life. A child’s perception of needs is not that complicated like an adult. A child just think about himself/herself, he /she doesn’t have that sense of reaching out to others yet because a sense of responsibility is not yet imposed. Or I can say that a child’s capacity to perceive is not yet well developed compared to an adult who has lived a long life already.
ReplyDelete2. First, I would talk to the parents of the child about my suspicion. As a teacher it is my responsibility to inform the parents anything about the condition of their child. For me this situation can only be handled well if I am sure that he/she really has an ADHD. If it is really proven then special attention should be done regarding the student. It is also good that others should also be informed so that it would become a united effort to understand the situation of the child. As a teacher I would equipped myself with necessary skills to deal with this case.
3. Teachers and schools should have a special program to meet the needs of children with developmental disability. First there should be teachers who are equipped with special skills, and have undergone training for this. Secondly, the school should have special facilities with them. And it is better if all those who are concerned like teachers, school authorities, and parents should have a seminar in order to help better. I believe that help that comes from teachers and school would become effective if they really understand the situation. They must educate first themselves how to handle situation before they lend any help. But most of all teachers and schools should never become judgmental and shun students with developmental disability.
1. How is a child's perception different from an adult?
ReplyDeleteChild’s preception is different from an adult in terms of development of . The child sees the world innocentl like seeing the world for the first time. An adult has a wide range of knowledge and information that he/she can somehow use when he/she perceives the world. There will be biases and partiality because an adult has already experienced the world. Also, the child’s perception is full of curiosity for seeing and experiencing the world for the first time. He/she grapples information as if the world is full of wonders. For the adult, the world seems to be in repetition and he sees reality with lack of wonder and curiosity because his/her perception will be the same. As the adult’s brain continues to have the same experiences, he/she can predict immediately the outcomes and consequences of the different stimuli.
2. As a teacher, what will you do if you suspect your student having ADHD?
As a teacher, I have a moral and social responsibility over my students. If I have suspect my student having ADHD, I will seek the advice of my coordinator or guidance counselor who will be in authority to give me possible things to do for my student. Having heard their experts opinion on the matter, I will adjust my lessons to my student to cater for his/her special needs. I will also apply the two principles of Special Education such as Acceptance and Accomodation. I will also apply the different principles that ensure the rights of the children by practicing non-discrimination, participation, and proper care for my student.
3. How can teacher and school help a child who has developmental disability?
As an educator, transference of knowledge and skills is my very main objective with no partiality to whoever students I will handle. With this, I have the social responsibilty to develop my students’ skills and intellectual capacity to the very best way I can with no discrimation to their social status and learning ability in the classroom. I will be patiently adjusting my curriculum to adjust to slow leearners and learning disability by having activities that will cater to their needs. I will apply different method and techniques to ensure that my students with learning disability can adapt to the lesson and use the knowledge and skills they have learned in my class in real life appropriated to their context. I will also apply integration, not isolation, to my regular students because studies show that students with learning disability can learn efficiently with regular students. I will also modify my grading system for them for my goal is to evaluate according to the things that they have learned. Patience and hardwork will be the keys in helping the students with learning disability.
1) A child’s perception is different from an adult is that they are less knowledgeable. Not as matured and hasn't experience a lot compare to adults. As a kid you worry about what candy to eat or what you are going to wear tomorrow. But for adults they think about how much is my mortgage, how am I going to pay for my bills? Adults think about issues that are more important than adult. Which is totally fine for kids to think things about it that way, because later on they will go through it. In the end I would say that kids aren't well developed as adults, who been through a lot of experiences.
ReplyDelete2) As a teacher, if I suspect one of my students that he/she might have ADHD, I would first let my coordinator know about my observation, and then let them observe the students to make sure that my hypotheses is right. If my coordinator is right, I will immediately let my student's parents know the findings that we had found out. I will adjust my lesson plan so my student wouldn't feel left behind. I'll also let the parents know how they can help their child.
3) A teacher and school can help a child who has developmental disability by working around the student needs and also having the policy "no left behind students" I will have a special curriculum for my student, so at the same time my student will be learning the topic that I will be teaching my regular students. Having different types of technique methods will be useful and easier for my student. But in the end, as a teacher you shouldn't give up on them. Yes, it might be a lot of hardwork but in the end it'll be worth it. Because you'll be making a difference in their life.
1. Child's perception differs from adult in so many ways. Children sees life in a narrow prospective since they don't need to worry instead all they need to do is to enjoy life compare to adults that takes life more seriously and has broader prospective. Second, children have limited experience and light understanding as for adults, they undergone a lot of experiences that build their perception as more matured individual. Also, as we all know children are just children and have restricted opportunity to take part in the society so their perception is not yet develop compare to adults.
ReplyDelete2. As a teacher, extreme patience is very important in handling student with ADHD because as we all know, kids with ADHD are hyperactive and unable to neither sit still nor listen to instructions. It is very important to make some considerations but also firmed limitations. Parents should also take part in every resolution that will be provided so that they will be fully aware of their child's condition. Since children with ADHD are hyperactive try to engage them in sports or any activities that will interest them so that they will have the chance to burn off extra energy as well as develop their confidence and talent.
3. Teachers and school can definitely help children with developmental disability in so may ways. Providing them safe environment is the first thing that the school should considered. Second, giving them quality education and proper assistance is one way so that they will make sure that their development will be enhanced. Additional way, avoid criticism so that they will not feel different with other children. Furthermore, offer activities that will boost their confidence and special skills. And of course, simply treating them right will make them at ease at all times.
1. A child’s perception is simpler than an adult. During childhood the perception is not much influenced by knowledge stored in the mind because it is still in the stage development and basic learning. During adulthood there is already so much knowledge that helps the person determine what kind stimulus is being encountered and it complicates the adult perception. Children perceive things according to what is around them while adults perceive things in accordance with their preferences. The curiosity of children aroused during perception because it is mostly their first time encounters of the world, while adults are cautious during perception because they have already a free conceive idea of what they are going to perceive due to their knowledge of the world based on previous experiences.
ReplyDelete2. As a teacher, first, I will consult with the parents about the child’s behavior if they have already a medical record for the child’s ADHD and advise them about my observation. Second, I will also consult with the guidance counselor so that they will be aware of the child and give the child assistance to better cope with the lessons and the behavior inside the class. Third, I will devise lessons that will help the child better behave inside the class so that he/she will not be left behind with the lessons.
3. Teachers are the second parents of learners and school as their second home. To help children with developmental disabilities, there should be a program to identify the form of disabilities present with the students. When the learners’ disabilities are identified the school should implement a conducive learning environment for those particular disabilities, involve the parents in school processes so that they will be aware and can also help the learners, and have stimulating programs for the learners. As a teacher, I will have open communication with the children so that I can identify their strong and weak points and help them in their development.
