Developmental psychology, also known as Human Development, is the scientific study of progressive psychological changes that occur in human beings as they age. Originally concerned with infants and children, and later other periods of great change such as adolescence and aging, it now encompasses the entire life span. This field examines change across a broad range of topics including motor skills and other psycho-physiological processes, problem solving abilities, conceptual understanding, acquisition of language, moral understanding, and identity formation.

Developmental psychologists investigate key questions, such as whether children are qualitatively different from adults or simply lack the experience that adults draw upon. Other issues that they deal with is the question of whether development occurs through the gradual accumulation of knowledge or through shifts from one stage of thinking to another; or if children are born with innate knowledge or figure things out through experience; and whether development is driven by the social context or by something inside each child.

Developmental psychology informs several applied fields, including: educational psychology, child psychopathology and developmental forensics. Developmental psychology complements several other basic research fields in psychology including social psychology, cognitive psychology, and comparative psychology.

Answer 2

If you fail to impress in a given classroom disturbance, that is you did not restore quiet and the students could see that you were in panic mode, you do what you have to do at that moment but the next day, state honestly that you did not handle the matter effectively the day before but you are fully equipped to see that such a display will not happen again. Then, say something humorous they can relate to such as, "Thomas, you were I.D.'d as the ringleader. How, you ask? Why by that camera in the corner there, the one that looks like a really big thumb tack."
I always found that when I lost the audience, was not up to the day's tasks, or failed to quell a small riot, that honesty always worked. That way teachers demonstrate a humanity with with the children can identify. The bottom line, of course, is that the teacher will prevail.

Wow, Ok, fist, ignore 90% of what people have said on here. You are dealing with a really tough situation. True there are worse our there, but as a first year teacher, there is no way anyone has really prepared you for this unless you student taught in a similar situation. It can destroy your self-confidence to have these stumbling blocks and can make you feel hopeless because there is no quick fix. Without knowing your state's policies on special needs, I can assume that your district is too taxed to provide you with a full-time aide. However, a student with such severe ed/ebd (emotionally/ emotionally bevaiourly disability) should be recieving services. Your first step is to find out if he has been evaluated. I'm guessing with expulsions, he has. Have you seen his IEP? You should have. If not, ask admin. Does your school have a behior disorder teacher? I'm assuming if this student has a functional IEP, that it requires some one on one time outside of the classroom w/ a psychologist or some other behavoir personel. Do you have a mentor teacher? S/he should be able to provide some insight. I know so much time is eaten up just trying to stay above water and that is probably the case with many of your coworkers based on the description of your school. However, the people you work with best know how to deal with your students. Find the one willing to spend the time to help. Finally, don't give up. There are lots of tools for your student with intellectual learning issues. Your behavior student cannot be dealt with without more specific attention from admin and special ed.

Answer 4

I've been teaching - at levels from 5th grade to college - for over 25 years.
I can't agree with FEAR's being what you need to instill.
What you need to command is RESPECT.
Yes, you do have to "start out hard" and then "ease off"
but you're talking about a specific control problem that has arisen for some reason.
We really need to know more about the particulars of that problem: why/how are the children disturbing.
Solutions will depend on the specifics. What caused the children to become disturbing? Are all the children affected or is it only some? What grade do you teach? How many students are in the class?
I don't see how you can get any effective advice unless you provide more information.

Answer 5

Request a transfer.

All of those "To Sir With Love." Type movies are not reality. Sidney Portier isin't really a teacher you know, and Lu Lu was a singer, not a kid student with troubles.

Neither was Michelle Pfeiffer, or the rock, or Antonio Bandares or the pock faced spanish actor what's his name?

If a kid knows nothing else instinctively, it is how to push boundaries and buttons. It is ingrained from infancy. If you have not been able to set up a strong, detached, self assured back bone, FOR YOURSELF. Then they will smell it like dogs and always give you sh*it for it.

If you however, find it in yourself to "Teach them how to treat you." Finding first within yourself the strength and conviction to not be so wishy-washy and uneven or unsure. THEN and ONLY THEN. They will see you as a leader and not just fodder for their amusement.

Most problem kids were not taught correctly at home and anything other than screaming, slapping upside their heads and fear (which is not allowed in schools) will almost always be seen and taken as weakness by kids like this.

You can try and teach them self respect... But when will there be time to learn anything else considering?

1. It is not your job to "Fix" them.... It is your job to educate them.
2. It is preventing you from doing your job and teaching the few that actually want to learn anything in a hostle enviornent.
3. It is obviously stressing you out, if you felt the need to bring it here of all places.

I would talk to them first. Find out who wants to learn and who is just there because they have to be by law. Take the good ones and leave the others to Special Ed or behavioral modification type classes.

Someone has to wash floors and dishes in this world... Someone has to own the business they do it in.

It is just life, and all of it is a choice. It is cruel, and seems unkind to actually say it out loud, but you really can only; "Lead a horse to water. You cannot make him drink."

Answer 6

That's a tough question. I feel sorry for school teachers today. They should get huge salaries! In my day if we got out of line the teachers would crack our hands with rulers, get sent to the principal's office and paddled, get our hair pulled, all kinds of stuff. Unfortunately, things are so much different today. It's a shame. It's not good for the children. They need discipline. I would want to trade places with you. Maybe someone will answer with some good ideas. God Bless you.

Answer 7

One of my teachers in high school had a very good bit of advice for any of us who were considering becoming teachers:

First, get your students to FEAR you.

Worry about your teaching technique later; but unless you've got them quaking in their boots and sitting with rapt attention, you're going to be fighting for control of the classroom every single day.

Too many adults are too concerned with wanting to be buddies with the kids, rather than taking command and being the authority figure.

Answer 8

Hiya Nor!
What are the problems you are having? What is the age/demographic of your students?
I teach an after school class to kids and I had a very productive discussion with them yesterday that I could share with you if you are in a similar situation!

Answer 9

Something that I have found that always helps. Say loudly,"If you can hear my voice,clap Your hands!"

Then a bit quieter," If you can her my voice, stamp your feet!"

Then in a whisper" If you can hear my oice, touch your nose,"

By then you have their full attention. After that, you usually only have to say naturally, "If you can hear my voice, touch your nose." and you get their immediate attention.

Answer 10
