Children differ from one another. Their ability, skills and potentiality vary; this is because they are unique. According to Henson and Eller (1999),
“Individual differences refer to characteristics that have the potential whether to develop an individual ability or limited ability for an individual to learn in school environment”.
Also according to Borich and Tombari (1997)
“Individual differences means the variations we observe among members of any group in a particular characteristic, such as temperament, energy level, friendship patterns and parent – child attachment”.
Temperament is a personality characteristic which comes from the parents. Child will possess good manners if the parents do have them. Every child has his own energy

There are slow learners as well as a mixture of fast learners in every classroom. These should be taken into consider and activities should be planned accordingly so that slow learners will not left behind and fast learners will not be bored. There are students with learning difficulties which will affect the teaching learning process. These should be taken into consider and teachers need to avoid things happening which as an effect in the teaching learning process. Behavior such as disruptive and destructive shows similar characteristics. These behaviors need to be discussed with the parents and necessary actions need to be taken to create a good atmosphere in the class. Also teachers will be able to identify different cognitive levels and learning styles. Some students learn through audio, some need to see visually while some of them learn by writing. So as teachers we need to have all these learning styles in a lesson to fulfill each individual. Planning should be done accurately which helps in the teaching learning process. Teachers play a great role in handling different children in the classroom. To build up an effective teaching process, these facts need to be taken into consideration. Teachers could think of different ways that they can implement in the classroom in the process of teaching and learning. Group method is one of the main teaching …show more content…
So taking consider in their views, my opinion would be personality is a sort of a behavioral pattern which possess in an individual: how you behave, how you think, how you feel and how you interact with the others. Understanding about personality is important to guide good students as well as problematic students. Children comes from different family backgrounds and some children face many problems in their childhoood. Teachers need to understand these situations and find solutions for it. Mainly children needs attention from the teachers, because they are not getting it from their close family members. To handle these pupils the best method is to use communicative approach. These students have their own personality, so teachers needs to be open heart and willing to listen to their problems. This will help in building a good teacher - student relationship and also it will help teachers to find solutions for their

Having different activities that deals with the children personality in the way that they learn while having group time. When the teacher is teaching the children the teacher can guide the children into doing the work by giving them examples of how to complete the assignments that are given to them.Giving the children same assignment but just in a different way to see which child needs more help when learning. Having an individual goal set for each child can help them achieve in their learning skills by helping them by being encourage by the goal that is set for them to achieve.WWW.Teach hub.com Annie Condron
In the Individual level, all persons are in some respects unique from other individuals, while, at a genetic level, humans are the same; however, we all possess individuality.
All children have many characteristics that make them unique, yet they have a lot in common. All children have specialized needs at some point in their life. “When children have diverse needs, whether temporary or permanent, there is a danger of considering only how different those needs make them; educators may lose sight of how much they resemble other children. When that happens, the educator may forget these children have the same basic ...
Personality is a branch of scientific discipline that studies temperament and its variation among people. It is a dynamic and a set of characteristics possessed by their atmosphere, cognitions, emotions, motivations and behaviours in various things. Personality conjointly refers to the pattern of thoughts, feelings, social adjustments and behaviour consistently exhibited over time that powerfully influences one’s exceptions, self-perceptions, values and attitudes. It also predicts human reactions to different folks, problems and stress.
Temperament refers to the components of a person’s personality such as introversion or extroversion that is classified as innate rather than learned (“What is Temperament”). It’s the fixed part of a individual’s personality and describes how they react with the world most of the time (“Parenting with LOVE: Temperament”) and has been broken down into four temperament types classified by nine traits. Activity level, rhythmicity meaning routines, distractibility, approach or withdrawal responses, adaptability, attention span or persistence, intensity of reaction, sensitivity to textures, noises, flavours, and quality of mood whether a child is happy and positive most of the
Kayla and I believed Mark showed low self-differentiation but when discussing the topic with the class, they believed he was self-differentiated because he was independent. In addition, from the class critiques and discussions I learned that Mark might not have been the best representation of this concept because he is young and he has not developed enough to be highly differentiated. Furthermore, when the class assessed Mark and his family, they had many different ideas that differed from our assessment. For example, they believed him moving to a new school was precipitating and we thought it was a predisposing factor. After this presentation, I understand that we may have done our assessment different because the sections of the four P’s do intersect but also because we are all still learning. The class also brought different explanations for the different intervention methods and why they would be helpful. Kayla and I thought detriangulation would work best but also working with the individuals in the family would help as well, many members of the class stressed the idea of a genogram to intervene. Therefore, I learned about the family emotional systems theory as well as how to apply it to a scenario. The feedback and discussion from the class also helped m have a better understanding of the concept being
Investigation of Factors that May Influence the Way People Learn. In this task I am going to explore the factors that can influence the the way people learn. Learning is a difficult word to give a definition to as it can be used in many different contexts. However, most people take the word ‘learning’ to mean acquiring new knowledge or skills.
In order to be an effective teacher there needs to be an understanding that we all learn differently, this means that no single teaching strategy is effective for all students/learners all the time. This makes teaching a complex process because you need to understand and meet the requirements of all of your learners. Students learn best when they aren’t asked to simply memorise information but when they form their own understandings of what is being taught. When a student has successfully learnt a new idea they are able to then intergrate this information with their previously learnt information and make sense of it. To be an effective teacher you need to work jointly with students to asses where they are at, be able to give feedback on how the student is going and ensure that they are understanding the lesson (Killen, 2013) According to Lovat and Smith (2003) students learning must result in a change in a student’s understanding of the information being taught. In order to show understanding they must be able to share this information with others and want to learn more (Killen, 2013). In order to have a deeper understanding of what is being taught they need to be aware of the relationship that exists between what they knew previously and the new information that is being learned (Killen, 2013).. Students need to be given goals that they can achieve in order to feel a sense of mastery over their own learning, this gives students motivation that they are able to complete tasks and to keep going.
Temperament is the individual differences in behavioral functioning in children and is typically stable throughout life. A child’s temperament is equivalent to personality in adults. It usually emerges early in life, but if it does not, then it is a learned behavior. Temperament is also biological, so children have a genetic predisposition to act in a certain way. To analyze my temperament, we have to understand the four different types of temperament that a child can be classified into. The first temperament is called “easy”. In this category, a child has positive mood, regular/rhythmic body functions, adaptable, reactions to situations are mild/moderate, and they have a low threshold to stimulation. The second is called “slow-to-warm-up”. In this
Temperaments are something we are all born with. They display personality traits like attitudes, personal values, and talents. We can not change our temperament. It is what makes us who we are. We should be thankful God has given us different temperaments. A temperament is the the combination of inborn traits that subconsciously affect man’s behavior. Each temperament has its strengths , challenges, Qualities, and shortcomings. The four temperaments are melancholy, Phlegmatic, choleric, and sanguine. The four temperaments were originated in ancient times. They were originally known as the four humors.
Personality is the unique characteristic patterns of thinking, feelings and behaviours of a person. Each person has different personality which distinguishes a person from another. In our life, we have to make decisions every day. The decision-making process is influenced by our logical thinking as well as our personality.
Classroom management has the largest effect on student achievement, so students cannot learn in poorly managed classroom. Additionally, research has pointed out that the quality of teacher-student relationships is the main aspect of classroom management.(…2). Furthermore, when teachers set classroom management plan, the plan will give structure to everything from seating to lessons to grading to the relationship between students. Teachers should incorporate strategies for addressing student behavior into classroom
Personality development is the development of the organized pattern of behaviors and attitudes that makes a person distinctive (Laberge, 2006). Adults, especially parents and teachers, are principal components of these environments and therefore play a powerful role in helping or hindering children in their personality and cognitive development (Morrison, 2007, p. 99). According to Erikson (2007), children’s personalities and social skills grow and develop within the context of society and in response to society’s demands, expectations, values, and social institutions, such as families, schools, and other child care programs (pp. 98-99). Children personality does not occur over night. They learn and experience new things in life and how they relate to these experiences affect their personality.
As stated earlier, I believe Classroom Management is the key to how learning can take place and students can feel safe participating. I hope to create an environment that is conducive to learning and involves all my students. I believe the most important part of classroom management is not the behavior problems but creating a good rapport with the students, encouraging them to succeed and setting high expectations for them. As well as using an engaging a curriculum, I believe you can create this environment and it will limit the behavior problems in your classroom from the
