Social Promotion on Students With Learning Disabilities
Prospectus: Effects of Social Promotion on Young Students with Learning Disabilities
Social promotion in various learning institutions is a practice where the students are promoted to the next grade level even if they have not attained the required learning standards by the understanding material used. In most cases, social promotion has been contrasted with retention, which is a practice of holding students back to remain in the same class or grade if they fail to meet academic expectations. Students are always expet to show that they have attained the required learning standards or academic expectations before they are promoted to the next class of grade level (Chou et al., 2016). The practice is referred to social promotion in various learning institutions because as non-academic considerations factors like societal expectations and pressures influence promotions decisions made on students from one class to the next or grade level.
For instance, parents and educators might want separate younger students from their peer group or friends, some schools do not want to be embarrassed when many students are held to repeat the same class or grade, and the community of the top school athletes in the learning institutions to lose their eligibility of playing sports. Such insinuations by the parents and the community made the learning institutions to adopt the social promotion method of promoting students to the next class or grade level. Besides, student socialization...
These further influences the promotion decisions made specifically during the elementary grades (Ciullo et al., 2015). This study will help in filling the gaps left by social promotion method of promoting students will learning disabilities as well as the teachers handling the students. The study will identify the problems that the students will face after going through social promotion in their future lives after completing their education. The study will also offer solutions to the problems faced by young students undergoing social promotion from one grade to another in the learning institutions.
Students with learning disabilities are those who do not understand what is being taught or the learning standards in their respective learning institutions. Such students will perform poorly in their classes as compared to fellow students who are handled by the same teachers and use the same learning materials in the learning institutions. In every learning institution, students are given a test after a certain period of learning to gauge their level of understanding and identify what should do more to improve their understanding. Students with learning disabilities will perform poorly in such tests, as what is being tested is what they have been learning in class, and they will have not understood. However, they will be disadvantaged and demoralized, as they will be nor rewarded, as those who do…

When children are given the option between a reward they would like and the internal desire to learn something, most children would rather have the reward. That is also true of many adults, whether they are in an educational setting or a business setting. Still, that does not mean that intrinsic interest cannot come along with extrinsic reward, or that operant theory is completely wrong. Many educators mix operant
The shift toward standardized testing has failed to result in a meaningful reduction of high school dropout rates, and students with disabilities continue to be marginalized by the culture of testing in public education (Dynarski et al., 2008). With that said, the needs of students with specific educational challenges are diverse and complex, and the solutions to their needs are not revealed in the results of standardized testing (Crawford &
Learner in Monitoring His/Her Own Learning Progress The following are various ways I use to make learning effective by helping the pupil to monitor their own learning. These approaches encourage positive relationships in the class environment and enhance the emotional well-being of the learners. They also encourage learners to participate in the class activity. Effective application of these qualities depends on how well I have combined them with pedagogical skills
Reading is a fundamental part of a child's education. Many techniques have been utilized in an effort to make learning to read and reading comprehension easier for students (McCray 2001). One such technique is Sustained Silent Reading (SSR). The purpose of this discussion is to investigate Sustained Silent Reading as it relates to reluctant middle school aged children. Let us begin our investigation by discussing the theoretical framework of Sustained
In other words Emotional Intelligence means that the individual is capable of: (1) Accurately perceiving emotions in oneself and others; (2) Uses emotions to facilitate thinking; (3) Understands emotional meanings; and (4) Manages emotions well.
