¶ … Teachers' Perceptions on the Effects of Social Promotion on Students
The problem in an urban elementary school in Eastern New York specifically, is the social promotion of fourth grade students. Currently, nothing is being done to address the issue of social promotion, which is supported by state education policies that allow children to be passed to the next grade level (Vallett & Annetta, 2014). This policy places at risk students with a learning disability with students who are working on grade level, which causes misunderstanding between students and teachers and among students themselves as they develop negative perceptions of one another (Trussell, Lewis, & Raynor, 2016). The problem that arises from this situation is that teachers do not know how to address these issues, as there is a lack of training for educators of students who are at risk students with some form of disability (Trussell et al., 2016).
Social promotion is the practice of passing students to the next grade level so that they may remain among their peer or age group even though the students have not mastered their learning assessments and state mandated testing. This practice has the potential to jeopardize the students' academic and lifetime goals. It also has the potential to make the teacher's job more challenging; as the teacher will find him or herself engaging with students who are not all on the same grade level (Trussell et al., 2016). Perhaps researchers should examine social promotion to see how it actually affects both students...
Teachers will be asked their perceptions about the effect of social promotion on students (Vallett & Annetta, 2014).
Purpose
The purpose of this case study is to identify the impact of social promotion on at risk students with a disability. To use a phenomenological case study, the researcher will seek knowledge on teachers' perceptions regarding socially promoting at risk students and their lived experiences throughout the school year. By using the phenome study it might lead to better decisions on behalf of teachers' and students' academic achievement. The phenomenological case study will provide insights on the perceptions of teachers regarding how social promotion affects the academic achievements of students with a disability. In this regard, conducting a phenomenological study will help in exploring the perspectives and experiences of teachers and students in relation to social promotion. This implies that the research approach will help in understanding the issues facing at risk students and their lived experiences throughout the school because of social promotion based on the perspectives of their teachers. According to Creswell (2007), a phenomenological research helps in determining the meaning for several individuals based on their lived experiences of…
This implies that through this study, the educators can get some assistance while they make the decision of retaining or promoting the failing students by considering the effects of both in detail. Since this is a qualitative study and not a quantitative one, from the data that is collected, it will be possible for us to build up a theory and then further studies can be conducted to confirm
Social Promotion There are concerns that schools are performing an injustice by passing students onto the next grade level although they fail the basic requirements for the current grade level. Underachieving middle school students are being promoted with little regard as to how it may impact their future success in education. It sets the precedence for some students who believe that they do not have to make any effort and they

, 2003). After 2 years of continuous intervention, children in the program showed significant improvements in academic achievement and classroom behavior in comparison to children with behavior disorders who did not take part in the program. Also, severely disruptive children showed marked improvement in self-regulation following participation in the program. Furthermore, parents of children with behavior disorders that took part in the program reported reduced stress and improved parenting practices
Social Cognitive Theory and Stress Management Social cognitive theory hypothesizes that people learn through observation: by examining their environment and seeing the behavior of others, people can then determine for themselves how best to adjust their behavior. Health educators and instructional designers often incorporate social cognitive theory into training when a learning outcome is behavioral change (Baranowski, Perry, & Parcel, 2002). Since the late 1990s, studies increasingly have addressed the impact of
As the number of dementia patients with end-stage illness is increasing; a higher number of social workers will be required to treat them in the future. It is important to evaluate the behavioral patterns of social workers dealing with such patients. The main purpose of such research is to identify the possible causes for such behavior so that necessary measures can be taken to reverse the situation. Role of Hospice
