Findings
My
findings about my interview with the mother of the child, I can say that the
child was being care by her family to the point that she was able to build a
good physical, social, emotional and cognitive development.
Conclusions
I
therefore conclude that the
learning of the child begins at home. At home the child learns values, works
and his cognition slowly developed. However, school plays a vital role in
molding the child. Sine school is made for the purpose of developing cognitive
aspects of the learner. As the child goes to study from pre-school until
senior high, she spends much time in school rather than at home. So, the total
development of a child depends in school as well as the teachers and
instructors or instructresses, which are the most important agents in school
that bears and impart knowledge and values with the learners.
Recommendations
I
do recommend that each teacher must be diligent, resourceful and patience in
handling the learners. He/she must use varied strategies in order to catch the
interest and attention of the students to focus on the lesson. He/she must bear
in mind the knowledge that the learners get rather than the salary receive. For
the parents, they must be responsible in guiding and disciplining their
children, they must be open with them. They should always ask them about their
studies and give encouragement to focus and study hard sp as to become
successful in their lives. The most important is the role of the learner, they
me be always compliant and dutiful. They must ensure to themselves that they
are motivated to learn and participate since they are responsible of their own
learning.
ANALYSIS
When I conducted an interview to the parents of the learner, I was able to know that the style of parenting they have on their child is authoritative type in which this type of parenting the learner is self-governing but there are still rules present that limit him in his play, actions, and joining with friends.
As what I have learned in Child
and Adolescent Development the factors that I am going to contribute to the
development and over – all adjustment of the learner in school are: first, it
contributes how the learners are nurtured by his parents, their financial setting,
and cultural background of the family unit.
“Education
begins at home” This quote helped me in finding and understanding the behavior
of the learner. What he did in school reflects how heis nurtured and reared by
his parents at home. One of these effects for instance, if the learner act and
possessed misconduct in the classroom, then what he did especially when it is a
serious type then surely his parents are expected to visit the school and
consult for the performance of his child to his adviser or teacher.
REFLECTIONS
When I was still a girl until this present, I observed
that the style of parenting I have is authoritative type of parenting. Wherein
my parents are always in authority and rules are given, yet they are so gentle
and loving. They demand and respond to us equally. I am not restricted to all
the things that I want to be involved in, especially in choosing my peers. Even
though sometimes they are strict, they have clear reasons behind it. And they
make us to understand the consequences of their behavior. And this type of
their parenting style affects us positively. As a child, a buddy, and a
student, I’m so sociable and so friendly; I have a lot of friends. I do not
lack involvement with other people. And I do not feel any deprivation of social
life.
A way I can establish home-school collaboration with
parents is by being acquaintance to build rapport and gain information from
them. Simple small talk, about weather, traffic, a local event, any of those
hundreds of things that adults use to make contact with one another, can be
appropriate at the beginning of our relationship. But eventually it is
necessary for me to talk about the child. An inviting question could be, “What
has my student said about his school activities?” It would be necessary to ask
open-ended questions in order to get the parents talking about their child and
to share information that may help me with the student in school.
In order to have a good working relationship with the
parents, I need to think like one, to genuinely send off caring and concerned
messages when speaking about their child and to create a welcoming environment
to their guardians. Positive, honest and clear communication is suggested as
the foundation to building personalized relationships with parent where each of
us understands and respects each other’s perspective. Working together toward
shared goals with shared power, this collaboration can require ongoing
planning, development and even evaluation. This can mean soliciting support
from the school for needs like release time to meet up with parents/families in
the community or development of a family support area in the school.
Together, the parents and I can discuss expectations for
their child’s achievement and our respective roles in helping the child meet
these expectations. As part of an educational institution in the future, I can
develop programs to promote effective home-school- partnerships that support
positive academic, behavioral and social competencies for all students in my
school. I’ll look to be engaged in efforts to increase mutual respect,
understanding, caring and flexibility among families and the school community.
Parents’ role on the other hand will involve regular
communication with me about their child’s progress, encouragement of leisure
reading with their children, participation in school functions, athletics, and
other extra-curricular activities, monitoring homework completion, frequent
communication with their children about academic and behavioral expectations
and progress. They can also participate in school as committee member or
volunteers.
