Help your child in her school work

1. Before the test, remind your child of her academic strength, such as memory of facts, great writing ability, successful report writing, projects and previous test on which she did well.
   
2. Let her know that you respect the work she did preparing for the test and that she has a right to be proud of herself for what she did know, even if it wasn't included in the test question.
   
3. Remind her that you love for her who she is and that you admire her kindness, patience, generosity, motivation, perseverance or whatever else about you child that you truly respect and admire.
   
4. Explain that some tests are poorly designed and test for what students don't know, rather than giving them opportunity to demonstrate what they did learn.
   

Let you child know that you know how wonderful he is in so many ways and that you would never change your love and respect for him based on grade on a piece of paper.

Do you have excellent performance?

Wheel of Personal Excellence

"Six-C" formula for achieving excellence in your learning. 

Clear Focus:

" A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it." Anonymous.

Central to all performance is the capacity to Focus.

It is the ability to focus what is relevant and to stay focused for the duration of the task.

Having Long Term Goal will direct you to the line of focus, But stick on to Immediate goals( only a part of long term goals) will provide the energy to focus. As Stephen pointed out, doing important and not urgent task always leads us to personal excellence.

Commitment

"Loser make promises they often break,

Winner make commitments they always keep.

                    /Denis Waitley/

Willingness and determination to put the required efforts,

Make the necessary sacrifices until the goals are achieved.

Life in this world is like a cafeteria, where you could get anything, but First you have to pay the price of it.

Check you Readiness

" The minds are like parachute- it works best when open." /Albert Einstein/

Having the best mindset for a particular task

Developing ways to insist that whenever required.

Having Passion for what we are going to achieve.

Confidence

"If you think you can, you are right.

If you think you can't , you are still right." /Hendry Ford/

Having faith in one's ability to perform a specific task or achieve a specific goal.

Control

" Any occurrence requiring undivided attention will be accompanied by an compelling distraction. /Hutchison's Law/

Distraction may arise from internal sources like negative thought, worries, unrealistic expectations, and from external sources like disruptive comments, critics or delays.

We could have an compelling distraction.

Continueous Learning

"An unexamined life is not worth living." /Plato/

Component of excellence relies on a willingness on the part of individuals to learn from every experience, to develop a culture of self-monitoring and self-reflection in order to draw out the lessons learned and to act upon them in future.

Every setback is an golden opportunity to learn. Failure is the stepping stone for success.

If the above wheel is well and good, it could flow easily, and smoothly.  If you develop the above qualities your reach to excellence is also easy and smooth.   

Once you loose some aspect of this  "Six-C" formula,  Imagine, what will happen if the wheel is not in shape, circle.   You will get stucked  in the floor, your reach to goal may get delayed. 

Nine reasons for being HUMAN

‘It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change.’ Charles Darwin
1. You get a body whether you like it or not – it’s yours, use it well
2. You learn lessons in life whether you like it or not
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons – failed experiments are part of the process
4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned in various forms
5. Learning lessons doesn’t end – there are always more lessons to learn
6. Over there is no better than here, but it will always look better than here!
7. Other people are mirrors of you – you may love or hate them depending on how you feel about yourself. What are they mirroring in you?
8. You have all the tools necessary – what you do is your decision
9. The answers are inside you – just look, listen and trust

Promoting self regulated learning

My research work (3).

Self-regulated learning is an important contributor of success in school life. Students with good self-regulation do better in their work, in social life and have less psychopathology and other problems. How students move towards their goal depends on their goal orientation. They may try to compete with others or think of learning the task and improving their self. Goal orientation’s role in students’ self-regulation is highly important. In order to regulate their selves they need to sharpen their goal orientation. Family environment is another important contributor of every student’s effort to regulate. In this present project effort has been taken to found the importance of these contributors on students’ self-regulated learning.
Now, I have developed an activity-based module to promote adolescents self-regulated learning in their school environment. This helps students to have insight about their present functioning and their desire about future. This also helps in finding ways to enhance their learning and regulate their self in order to reach their long-term goals.

Self-reguated learning of adolescents

My research work (2).

How students take personal initiative for their academic learning depends on their self-regulatory skills. Self-regulation involves meta-cognition, motivation and overt behaviour. Cognitive style of student has influence on students’ self-regulatory skills.
Self-regulated learning of students has highly correlated with parents’ education. Highly educated parents adolescents displayed high self-regulatory skills. Both logical and intuitive styles of functioning has related to self-regulated learning of adolescents

Cognitive style and goal orientation

My research work(1).

My first research focuses on individuals’ way of perceiving things, events, and their work. Every one of us have specialized way of dealing the world. Some people follow serialistic approach (Logical) and others wholistic approach (Intuitive). How these two types of college students of various courses develops their goals and find ways to reach their goal is my topic of first research.

Some important findings of my research are

1. A cognitive style plays a vital role in determining how students approach and engage their learning.
2. Female college students use more serilistic approach of information processing.
3. Engineering students have more visualization of their future and nursing student has more inner conscience in their decision-making (Insight).
4. Students resides in cities have accustomed to serialistic thinking.
5. Students’ way of information processing their orientation to their goals.

BEWARE OF YOUR GOALS

“How can we remember our ignorance, which our growth requires, when we are using our knowledge all the time”.  
  / Thoreau/
Goal in life is ultimate necessity.  

What we do with the goals is also highly important. Be aware, whether you have a learning goal or proving goal.  
 In learning goal, you may focus on empowering yourself, mastering the task, increasing ability, and looking for higher challenging accomplishments. Failures won’t affect you because it will leave a lesson to you to proceed further. It won’t be a burden, which become obstacle to your growth. You may try to get the work done with some other method. You could concentrate on where thing went wrong and how could you correct it. You compare your previous performance, with your present one & recognize and appreciate yourself for your improvement. (Scoring better marks than previous test). 
 If your goal is proving one or performing, being superior and besting others. your focus will be in pleasing other, competing others, thinking about performing well, getting pleasant feedback, best at task in comparison to others. Presence of others would define your response. You may try to work hard in order to compete with other, or proving your ability to others. At times if you got failure, your failure will be attributed for your inability to do the task. You get shame of yourself. If you felt the task a complicated one, you may get back from the task and avoid the task itself. It will affect our further development. (Getting first rank in the class, if the class is filled with very dull students, we get pleased of the first rank even though we could improve further the meet our fullest potential).
