INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The researchers conducted this study because they observed many of their batch mates exhibit inferiority complex. They want to know why they are unveiling such manner and what the factors that contribute to inferiority complex are. Because of inferiority complex, their batch mates show some unusual behaviors toward class discussions. One of these unusual behaviors is that students experiencing inferiority complex seldom participate in class and are afraid to contribute their ideas in fear of being humiliated in front of the whole class because his answer is not relevant to their discussion. As a result, they will just sit and listen to the brilliant students with their brilliant ideas. Another obvious unusual behavior is excellent students overpower average thinkers thus making them ashamed to suggest because they know that the outcome of that is brilliant students will only ignore their suggestions and stick to theirs. Finally, it would result to a low performance in school because of inferiority complex.

Inferiority complex per se is one of the leading factors that affect a student’s performance in school. It is believed that inferiority complex itself is subjected to stress for the students. Furthermore, the effect of this among the students can make their lives in school quite alarming.

AVHS, as well as the other schools in Kalibo, has students

    BACKGROUND. Stereotype threat refers to the concern that is experienced when one feels “at risk of confirming, as a self characteristic, a negative stereotype about one’s group” (Steele & Aronson, 1995, p. 797). A wide range of stereotypes have been tested (e.g., her lack of ability in math and science: O’Brien & Crandall, 2003; Negros’ underperformance on standardized tests: Steele & Aronson, 1995; White males’ athletic inferiority: Stone, 2002). In the current work, the authors focus on the contribution of motivation to threat effect's, specifically on Jamieson and Harkins’s (2007) mere effort account. This was suggested by Harkins’s (2006) analysis of the effect of evaluation on performance, which argues that evaluation…

    As you may have recently seen/heard, the war started and lasted abruptly, the bomb has obliterated the entire city of St. Louis. And I am sure you have heard of the fireman that made our town famous. Yes, the one about Sir Guy Montag, how the “fireman” had to burn his own house down for having books in his home. The rare thing about that incident was what happened after his house was burned. He burned a man and killed the other two firemen. That was the thing that set me slim. The talk in this district is mad. You almost can bet what it’s about. It is either about the fireman who set the world on fire or the bomb that hurt everyone. The survivors are going insane! There is no order in this chaos we call a town! And I, as Captain Beatty’s replacement, have a few simple proposals as in how to restore the peace to this mad house I call home. There will be no more book burnings for this town. Not only will the books be kept safe, but they will be cherished. First off, I am going to make an organization called Books for Homes. Everyone will help restore the homes that were destroyed in the horrible tragedy. Each home and family will have one book. Everyone in the household will remember that one book and have it passed down to their family and so on and so on. Everyone will have a shred of knowledge of the past and will have some type of understanding of the times before. Secondly, there will be a town cleanup for a week. Our town was already dead before the bomb; it passed away from lack of knowledge and the truth. The bomb just got rid of the carcass of the town like a vulture on a dead body. I will help this town resurrect from the ashes of what once was to what it could be. Next everyone in the town will have a food drive to help feed the families that lost everything. This town will make a complete 360 ° flip. Everyone will have to act as one and unit to make the change. It takes one step to cross the…

    This confusion embodied itself into a mountainous, far-reaching wall, and I had miraculously found a ladder in which to overcome the blockade and transport myself into a plain of understanding. Once I reached the other side, I realized how lonesome it was, and it isolated me from the rest of my class. I do not favor a position of being the only person who does well in an environment; I believe withholding knowledge for the sake of being the only person who can excel is a corrupt logical stance. A disheartening multitude of individuals in school wish to compete with me in academics and other means, but I am a firm believer that we can all win by elevating each other and working together. There is more to life than trying to be the “best,” and the notion that a singular person is somehow “best” in all aspects due to grades alone is absurd. The only person I compete with is myself, and I do not compare my own worth by using other’s accomplishments as a template, because we all face differing…

    The story of the Kite Runner is fictional, but it is rooted in real political and historical events ranging from the last days of the Afghan monarchy in the 1970s to the post-Taliban near present-day. Hosseini also pulls from his own memories and experiences growing up in the Wazir Akbar Khan section of Kabul and his adaptation to life in California. Khaled Hosseini’s aim was to not only call attention to the devastation in Afghanistan; he set out to remind the world that before he last few decades under the world’s scrutinizing eye highlighting the negativity of the country, Afghanistan was a generally peaceful nation.…

    Achievement Gap

    • 1359 Words
    • 6 Pages

    A disruptive student misbehaves for attention from the teacher or their peers. Disruptive or inappropriate behavior are major factors correlated with an achievement gap (Ratcliff et al.). The disruptive behavior can be the result of built up frustration from a struggling student; hence frustration acts as a barrier between the child and their education. A delay, large or small, can discourage the student and cause them to feel slower than their peers. The tension between the teacher and student can lead to an emotional education barrier. According to “Schooling Causes of the Achievement Gap,” “[Researchers] found that gender, racial, and ethnic differences between teachers and their students impacted the achievement gap. These differences greatly increased the probability of students being perceived by their teachers as being inattentive, of not completing homework assignments, and of exhibiting disruptive behavior. Teachers’ perceptions that students seemed unmotivated or exhibited a lack of effort in the school setting has related [the] gaps [to] performance” (Ratcliff et al.). A student behaves based on their feelings within the classroom and towards the teacher. A sympathetic, but disciplined, teacher receives the least behavior problems from their students. Teachers are likely to choose female students to answer questions—this causes a gap between genders. Male students may feel…

Employment for workers with Masters, professional, or associates degrees are expected to grow almost twice as fast as the overall job market in the next decade. The benefits of college are quite clear.…

    Despite the vast amount of research on leadership, there is still more to be learned. The study of leadership commenced in the late 19th century with the focus on “Great Men” (Bass, 1974). This theory examined the lives of great leaders in history. Primarily these were men, however, some women leaders were included in these studies. Some examples are figures such as Moses, Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson and many others who have shaped the course of history for good or evil (1974).…
