Teaching philosophy statement Teaching students who are historically underrepresented and underserved students require careful and informed teaching approaches that incorporate the social and learning needs of the students. There are serene strategies that one can use in this kind of situation. One of the approaches is to constantly watch for barriers that might bar proper learning of students such as stereotyping, identity mindset and unconscious. Through this strategy, the teacher will be able to detect problems before they occur. Another strategy is increasing parental involvement. Historically underrepresented and underserved students are more attached to their parents as they idolize them more. Increasingly parental involvement means that the students will feel more incorporated in school. Correspondently, it is good to create a welcoming environment for the students.  This can be achieved by placing strict rules against vices such as racism, ethnicity discrimination, and bullying. Mostly, in classrooms, the key factor that contributes to the closing of equity gaps is ensuring an active interaction of students and removal of barriers that might create equity gaps.

Annette Kujawski Taylor and Patricia Kowalski’s article, “Students’ misconceptions in Psychology: How you ask matters…sometimes” points out the difference in the accuracy of using both the true/false format and forced-choice format in identifying the misconceptions among introductory psychology students. The authors note that various misconceptions surrounding psychology are rooted among several students and correctly assessing these misconceptions is the first step towards changing them. Interestingly, the researchers show that the true/false questionnaire format is problematic with a higher margin of error in accuracy in comparison to the forced-choice format. After asking a sample of psychology students several misconceptions questions and using both the true/false format and forced-choice format to guide them in answering, Kujawski and Kowalski conclude that the forced-choice format is the more accurate method to identify the misconceptions lingering among them. The researchers aim in conducting the study is changing students’ false beliefs that they strongly hold onto before joining the introductory psychology course. Kujawski and Kowalski note that simple instructions do not change these students’ minds regarding misconceptions not only in the field of psychology but across…

life and times of a mathematical genius Ramanujan The man who knew infinity by Robert Kanigel explains the life and times of a mathematical genius Ramanujan. According to Ramanujan, mathematical concepts are revealed by God as an art. Hardy described mathematics as “notes of observation.” Most of the mathematicians concur with these statements that mathematics formulas are discovered rather than invented. Through the man who knew infinity, it’s clear that Ramanujan experienced this discovery sometime long before his colleges. In the book, Hardy, request Ramanujan to prove his concepts further and elaborate them in detail. This statement frustrates Ramanujan, who wishes his ideas are published as fast as he discovers the new ideas. Hardy insists Ramanujan incorporates his discoveries to practice so that they bear ground. Through the book, The Man Who Knew Infinity, mathematical concepts can be derived and taught to students. Some of the early concepts discovered by Ramanujan include the Prime number factors. He found that a prime number is a number that can only be divided by itself to have equal constitutes. The man who knew…

Effect of Religion on Health Everyone looks forward to enjoying a life full of good health. Good health is treasured more than riches because life becomes difficult when you have all the money in the world, but the best you can do is to spend it on medical bills and probably fail to find a lasting solution in terms of cure. Religion affects the health of an individual in many aspects, including the physical, mental aspect and the general well-being. Religious people enjoy higher self-esteem because they know a supreme being loves them. They are also less susceptible to depression and register happy marriages compared to heathens. Regular church members are more hopeful and have a greater sense of purpose in life. Religious people easily cope with tough situations because they can afford hope thus less likely to be hard hit by stress to the point of contemplating suicide as an easy escape. Physical health is mainly affected by the environment we live in and what we take into the body in the name of food and drinks. Most religious…

Secularism and religion Religious minorities have always faced many problems in secular majority societies. Some of the factors that contribute to religious minorities include the migration of certain groups to a new land. For instance, due to the war that is existing in the Arabic countries in the Middle East region, Muslims have migrated to European countries like Britain and Germany. Second, some people adopted a particular religion while in their homeland country, but religion failed to grow, making them a minority group in the country. An excellent example of such an incident is the Christian religion in Bangladesh. Secularism and religion are two different phenomena, and the existences of one group possess a threat to the other while in the same society. The religious minority face a lot of challenges in a secular dominated society. The first challenge that they encounter is hatred. Hatred is common in communities whereby there is the existence of a religious minority. The hate is exposed in various ways. The Muslims in the European country has been associated with terrorism, and there are many…

Love and compassion His Holiness Dalai Lama declares that there is a connection between loving other people and living a happy and fruitful life. He goes ahead to indicate that two things affect our state of happiness or suffering, which he says are the physical and mental abilities of a person. Thich Nhat Hanh also contributes to the topic of compassion by stating the importance of maintaining a good mental condition to live a compassionate life (Tippett, 5:57). Mental problems may bring suffering upon a person substantially as compared to physical issues such as being sick. Through compassion for others, we are able to have peace of mind by caring for other people’s happiness. One of the core reasons which are evident from the readings is the need for love. This is because we cannot exist without love since we are connected through interdependence. When one is sick, compassionate people will help out, and we will be able to live happily by helping others. Another reason why people should learn about compassion is that as long as we are alive,…
