Education
A Case of Classroom Management
...This paper is a review of the scholarly article that I
have chosen from a journal called “Journal of Curriculum
Studies” and the article that caught my attention was
“Classroom management as manner and method”. It immediately
appeared to be a well organized piece of writing with a
logical structure and interesting points that the author
manages to prove in the end...

Children’s ability to read and write: does
it depend on knowledge of grammar
...Until the 1960’s the vast majority of schools in England,
and at that other parts of the traditional English speaking
world such as the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand,
taught grammar in schools. Deemed by some academics as

teaching grammar had disappeared in state funded
comprehensive schools...

Discuss the Idea that all Students Have to

time of the Athenian School of Thought. It was here that
ancient philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and
Pythagorus gathered under ideal classical architecture to
discuss and debate. These men were, and still are,
considered great thinkers, and although time has elapsed and
so many things have changed, students continue to study
their ideas and theories...

Background of Teaching Principles
...There are many different theories of how people learn,
however, the two that are to be discussed are closely
related to how my students learn and how these have affected
the planning of my teaching.
Cognitivists have an alternative view and instead of placing
their focus on the task, they place their focus on the
learners and how they gain and organise their knowledge
(Reece and Walker 2003). The basis of this is that learners
do not merely receive information, but actively think about
what it means to them, learning (Reece and Walker 2003)...
