Q.1      Why did you select this specific sub-theme and topic? Relate it to your experience / problem in your classroom / institution.

Self-behavior as one of the influential factors which affect student’s academic achievement has received increasing attention. It has been declared that self-behavior can lead to high academic achievement. Self-behavior can be referred to as a person’s global judgments of competency regarding one’s self-worth. This construct emerges when children compare their self-evaluation with actual performance on a variety of tasks. Moreover, this comparison between the perceived self and the ideal self is very crucial especially during adolescence because adolescents encounter diversified jobs of development and challenges of their own age. Hence, the development of self-behavior is considered one of the most important developmental processes of adolescence.

In general, self-behavior help individuals to view themselves as active and capable persons to promote changes through effort and set higher goals which cause learning new things. Interestingly, numerous researchers have demonstrated that the best way to improve student achievement is to increase their self-behavior. Research has also documented that high self- esteem plays an important role in academic achievement, social and personal responsibility. Those who have higher academic achievement tend to feel more confident in contrast those who lack confidence in themselves achieve less.

Additionally, gender is the important factor which influence on the growth, emerges and demonstration of self-behavior. Numerous differences have been found between males and females in their level of self-behavior during adolescence because they tend to adopt to gender stereotypes. Specifically, male self-behavior are thought to be more impressed by goals characterized by independence and autonomy, while self-behavior in female is more influenced by goals related to interdependence and sensitivity. The difference in self-behavior can lead to difference in academic achievement between boys and girls. It has been revealed that girls do better in school, get higher grades and can graduate from high school at a higher level than boys. Previous study showed the other influential factors in academic achievement. However, the present study revealed the important role of self-behavior in academic achievement. In other words, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-behavior and academic achievement as well as gain insight into the differences in self-behavior and academic achievement between boys and girls. This study endeavored to provide information for educators, counselors and teachers to apply strategies to prevent imbalance in academic achievement and self-behavior between male and female students in the classroom.

Q.2      What was your discussion with your colleague / friend / senior teacher or supervisor regarding the problem?

After choosing this theme, the researcher discussed this topic with my teachers, friends and supervisor.

Discussion with Supervisor:

My supervisor pointed out that a student’s self-behavior has a significant impact on almost everything, in the way she engages in activities, deals with challenges, and interacts with others. Self-behavior also can have a marked effect on academic performance. Low self-behavior can lessen a student’s desire to learn, her ability to focus, and her willingness to take risks. Positive self-behavior, on the other hand, is one of the building blocks of school success; it provides a firm foundation for learning.

The challenge in working with children with low self-behavior is to restore their belief in themselves, so they persevere in the face of academic challenges. You do not need a formal program to promote self-behavior, however. Educators shape self-behavior every day, in the normal course of interacting with their students.

Discussion with Teacher:

My teacher told me that Praise the student in a specific and genuine way. Students are experts at distinguishing genuine feedback from empty compliments. They learn to dismiss vague words of praise as insincere, and perhaps even phony. Comments that suggest thoughtful appreciation of their work, on the other hand, are meaningful to them. Toward that end, let the student know in specific terms what you like about her work or self-behavior. If she is progressing slowly, praise her for small steps forward. If you sense that she’s uncomfortable being praised in front of her classmates, tell her in private or in a note.

Discussion with Friends:

One of my friend pointed about this sub theme that show the student tangible evidence of progress. Expressing confidence in a student’s ability is important; pep talks alone might not be enough, however. Help the student appreciate her own improvement by pointing to concrete signs of growth — perhaps by taping an oral reading at the beginning of the year and comparing it to a later performance, by showing her papers from earlier in the year and contrasting them with later papers, or by demonstrating that the math problems she struggled with during the first marking period now come easily to her. You might also have the student place in a box index cards with spelling or reading words she has mastered.

Other friend also said that help the student deal with adversity. If the student encounters academic difficulties, help her appreciate that failure is a normal part of learning and that everyone experiences disappointment or frustration at some point. You might tell her that Lincoln lost seven elections before being elected president of the United States, or that Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times during his career. Acknowledge the student’s frustration, and then move on to help her develop strategies for improvement. Express your confidence that –with hard work and your support — she is likely to succeed.

I concluded that encourage a sense of belonging. Students with low self-behavior often are isolated from their classmates. You can promote a student’s peer involvement with others by finding ways to integrate her into activities that are take place both in and out of school. You might organize a group activity that includes her. Or ask a couple of friendly and accepting students to spend time with her during recess or lunch. If students pair up for class activities, assign the student a kind and easygoing partner. You also might want to encourage the student’s parents to arrange additional social contacts with classmates, perhaps suggesting potential playmates.

Q.3      What did you find about the problem in the existing literature (books / articles /websites)?

Children’s socio-emotional development belong to productive skill rather than perceptive one. It produces a message to communicate. Spratt, Paleness, and Williams (2020) state that Children’s socio-emotional development learning belong to productive skills. She said that learning and Self-behavior, particularly, involve producing content rather than receiving it. The subjective aspects include things such as how the child is feeling about their life and how happy they are. The objective aspects include factors that affect the child’s feelings, for example, health, housing, poverty, social capital and education. Despite a fairly extensive literature, comparisons between countries and communities are difficult as ‘the field of social child indication is fragmented and lacking a unifying taxonomy’. Many different indicators have been identified. It means that Children’s socio-emotional development learning will produce an output as anindicator that students have learned both those skills. It is clearly that the outputof learning skill can be oral conversation or drama. Meanwhile, the output oflearning skill can be written stories, letters, or other text types.Another linguist, Hyland (2019), explains that Children’s socio-emotional development are a way toshare personal meanings. The people construct their own views on topic.

Through being good role models for our children and developing positive thinking and self-behavior patterns in them we can help improve our Children’s socio-emotional development, as well as teach them lifelong skills to maintain this into their adult life. Theywill share their views on a topic to each other then. A person’s views may bedifferent from other people’s views. It depends on their belief. Therefore, whenconstructing their views (ideas), the people have to make it understandable andacceptable. Brown (2019) illustrates that Self-behavior are like swimming. When peoplewant to be able to swim, they must have like an instructor to show them basic ways or tricks to swim, although the instructor is only their parents or their friends (not professional Parents). After they get the basic ways to swim,they will develop based on their own style. The more chance they get to swim,the more perfect they will be. Self-behavior are the last output after students learn separate acts continuously.Wallace (2019) states that Self-behavior are the final product after students learn several stages of self-behavior separately before. Those stages are note-taking,identifying a central idea, outlining, drafting, and editing. It means that Self-behavior are a complex skill. It covers many sub skills that have to be passed before producing a good piece of self-behavior.

Self-behavior seem so complicated with its sub skills, but it is actually can be learn with fun. Those skill sare related to each other. In this case, the researcher am going to focus on Self-behavior activities. Self-behavior are a content skill that is very important. Self-behavior are among the most important skills that foreign content students need to develop. It is the last stage in learning content after listening,learning, and listening. In other Self-behavior, the researcher can say that Self-behavior are anindicator whether students have gained all skills before or have not. Before the students have to learning, they should be able to listen, to speak, and to read.Self-behavior activities differs from other skills like learning and listening. Brown (2019) states that trends in teaching Self-behavior of ESL and other foreign content sare integrated with teaching other skills, particularly listening and learning. Wajnryb (2020) recommends that learners should listen to the Children’s socio-emotional development twice and that both readings should be, as far as possible, identical. The text is read at natural speed with short pauses between each sentence. Students are told not to learning anything the first time, ‘but allow the Self-behavior to was hover them’ (2020). This is to allow students to get an overall feel for the passage. On the second listening students should take down notes. At this stage the teacher should suggest that learners focus on noticing and recording key content or information.

Children’s socio-emotional development are an integrative strategy that was originally used for second content learners. The purpose of Children’s socio-emotional development is to improve students’ knowledg eof text structure and grammar & learning within an authentic context (Van Patten, Inclezan,Salazar, & Farley, 2020). As research indicates, effective Self-behavior instruction focuses on grammar & learning and text structure within context of use (Bromley, 2019).In this instructional strategy, students listen to a model of motivation structure and deconstruct it collaboratively before it is recreated. The collaborative nature of Children’s socio-emotional development allows all learners, but especially second content learners and striving readers, to examine an exemplary narrative passage and discover how the author created it. When students are explicitly instructed in the study of genres and their textual differences, the quality of their Self-behavior improves (Calkins, 2019).

Q.11    How do you feel about this practice? What have you learnt?

The researcher learnt a lot of new things which the researcher never learnt in my previous life. For example when the researcher talked with senior Parents and expert people the researcher learnt a lot of skills of writing. When the researcher taught the children then me counsel dictionary and great writers, businessmen and novels .These all things increased my Conflict management also showed them video lesson of some expert and creative writers to teach them. It also helped me to learn new things. This practice also improved my writing skills too.

The researcher also learnt how to write effectively and accurately the researcher have improved my English grimmer. My work has been improved. The researcher learnt new methods of improving writing. The researcher learnt how to write stories in appropriate way. Overall it helped me to develop new writing skills, new way of teaching writing skills. So the researcher am glad to say that it was unforgettable experience of my life. First of all most of us numb the uncomfortable emotions, but unknowingly when we do this research we can also end up numbing our other emotions like joy, peace, happiness, and pleasure. We can’t fully have one without the other.

The first step is always awareness, because once we have awareness we can start to do something about it. Awareness alone won’t help us stop using Conflict management. Awareness after the fact is what I’m talking about here.  Starting anything new and trying to create a habit out of it takes work and time. This is one of the reasons the researcher love researching and attending classes as it’s basically a scheduled time in the day, where the researcher have no other distractions, to just be in my routine and notice how I’m feeling. That being said the researcher rarely make it to a class once a week these days, so the researcher do have to find simple and quick ways to connect.

Q.12    What has it added to your professional skills as a teacher?

It added a lot of new skills in my teaching .It improved my way of teaching. For example when the researcher talked with senior Parents and expert people the researcher learnt a lot of skills of self-behavior. In this modern, digital age, Parents need to be flexible and be able to adapt to whatever is thrown their way. New technologies are developed every day that can change the way students learn, and the way Parents teach. This is likely the single most important skill. Kids these days are stubborn, and many lack the inherent respect for authority that we were taught at a young age. Spending a single day in a room full of raucous teenagers is enough to send any human being to the Looney bin, which is why every good teacher needs patience in order to find a way to work with his students and earn their respect.Different kids learn in different ways, and some lessons need unique teaching tools. Good Parents know how to adapt their lesson plan to their students, so that all the kids learn optimally. This trait can take some experience and practice in a classroom setting, so give it time.Whether you teach high Area chemistry or kindergarten, nothing is a more effective tool than using your imagination to create new and motivation ways for your students to learn. You may be inspired by the work of another teacher, mentor or a TV commercial – it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you take the initiative to find new ways for your kids to learn the material.Parents could have a hard time without a wide variety of support staff around them. If you feel alone, your Area principal, administrative staff, parent-teacher committee, and more are often available to provide you help. By working as a team, you may have an easier time increasing your students’ ability to learn and have fun.Sometimes to get the big reward, you may need to take a risk. Being a teacher is about finding a way to get kids to learn, and sometimes these new learning methods can be risky. Stick to it and you’ll soon find that others are following your teaching example.
