clear goal to achieve. Because the national identity, consolidation and harmony
depends upon this purpose .these blessings do not exist without specify objectives.
That is why the achievement of these targets is given priority in all walks of life out of
all spheres of life the most important in education. Because every nation depends
upon education for the transformation, theories, religion, civilization culture and
tradition. With out it, harmony, social values, feelings of love and sincerity for society

Projects and Programmes. As will now be apparent, the motives for engagement in
learning projects are often mixed and can operate at a number of levels. McGivney
)1990( has provided a useful summary of some of the better known theories which she
divides into single strand and composite )involve a number of strands(. Later we will
look at an influential 'composite' theory - that of Cross, for now we will look at
McGivney's summary.
The main line of argument here is that participation depends on the extent to
which a person has been able to meet a range of primary and secondary needs )after
Maslow 1954( and the influence of positive and negative forces )see, also, 'force-field
analysis below(. For example, as basic primary needs are met )as one economic and
social position 'improves'(, higher needs are activated, and the balance between
negative and positive forces shifts. As a result people are more prepared to take part in
Congruence model: In this model it is suggested that people are more likely to
perception of themselves )their self concept( and the nature of the education
which has driven this is the correlation between the number of years spent at school
and college, and the likelihood of taking part in education programmes after that.
)Boshier 1973(.
Force-field theory: This approach draws heavily on the work of Lewin )1947;
1952(. Miller )1967(, in particular, sought to draw together Maslow's and Lewin's
education. He charts positive forces and negative forces and their relative strengths.
This is then taken a step further by Rubenson )1977(. He argues that education, like
ahead will put effort into personal achievement' )Cross 1981(. Rubenson suggested
that motivation emerges from the interaction of two factors: expectancy and valence.
The notion of 'transition' has assumed a much larger role in thinking about the
take-up of education. This has been reflected, for example, in shifts in UK research
North America populist accounts of the impact of 'life-changes' )Sheehy 1976( have

This theory is based around the assertion that people identify with the social
and cultural group to which they belong - 'normative reference group )NRG( - or with

seek for those factors which motivate people to join or be part of organizations or for

instruction, and were treated in the literature as if they were content-free. The image
however, demonstrated that management and instruction are not separate, but are
the start of the school year. The learning environment must be envisioned in both a
physical space and a cognitive space. The physical space of the classroom is managed
as the teacher prepares the classroom for the students. Is the space warm and inviting?
Does the room arrangement match the teacher's philosophy of learning? Do the
students have access to necessary materials? Are the distracting features of a room
eliminated? Attending to these and similar questions aids a teacher in managing the
In both elementary and secondary classrooms, the start of the school year is
establishment of expectations for student behavior, which are expressed through rules
and procedures. Rules indicate the expectations for behavior in the classroom, and for
how one interacts with one's peers and the teacher. Procedures have to do with how
things get done. Rules can be, and frequently are, developed with the students' help,
which teachers encourage students to do their best and to be excited about what they
23
are learning. There are two factors that are critical in creating such a motivational
climate: value and effort. To be motivated, students must see the worth of the work
that they are doing and the work others do. A teacher's demonstration of value shows
students how their work is worthwhile and is connected to things that are important
for them, including other learning and interests. Effort ties the time, energy, and
creativity a student uses to develop the "work," to the value that the work holds. One
way that teachers encourage effort is through specific praise, telling students
specifically what it is that they are doing that is worthwhile and good. In combination

interests.
Students are more likely to participate in class if they feel they are among
friends rather than strangers; so at the beginning of the term, ask students to introduce
themselves and describe their primary interests or background in the subject )Tiberius,
1990(. These introductions may also give you some clues about framing discussion
questions that address students' interests. See "The First Day of Class" for ideas on
permits.
In classes of thirty or less, learn all your students' names. )"The First Day of
Class" lists several ways to do this.( If you require students to come to your office
once during the first few weeks of class, you can also learn about their interests. Class
participation often improves after students have had an opportunity to talk informally
If your room has movable chairs, ask students to sit in a semicircle so that they
can see one another. At a long seminar table, seat yourself along the side rather than at
the head. If appropriate, ask students to print their names on name cards and display
them on their desk or the table. Research reported by Beard and Hartley )1984( shows
that people tend to talk to the person sitting opposite them, that people sitting next to
each other tend not to talk to one another, that the most centrally placed member of a
26
group tends to emerge as leader, and that leaders tend to sit in the least crowded parts
of a room.
2.5.4 Allow the class time to warm up before you launch into
the discussion.
Consider arriving two to three minutes early to talk informally with students.
Or open class with a few minutes of conversation about relevant current events,

that were worthwhile. Then ask students to list the characteristics of poor discussions.
Write the items on the board, tallying those items mentioned by more than one student
or group. With the entire class, explore ways in which class members can maximize
those aspects that make for a good discussion and minimize those aspects that make

or ten minutes, and then return to a plenary format. Choose topics that are focused and

record the results on the board. Once students have spoken in small groups, they may
Ask two or three students to lead a discussion session sometime during the
term. Meet with the student discussion leaders beforehand to go over their questions
and proposed format. Have the leaders distribute three to six discussion questions to
the class a week before the discussion. During class the leaders assume responsibility
for generating and facilitating the discussion. For discussions you lead, assign one or
discussion. Other student roles include periodic summarizer )to summarize the main
substantive points two or three times during the session(, recorder )to serve as the
group's memory(, timekeeper )to keep the class on schedule(, and designated first
discussion.
One faculty member distributes three poker chips to each student in her class.
Each time a student speaks, a chip is turned over to the instructor. Students must
spend all their chips by the end of the period. The professor reports that this strategy
limits students who dominate the discussion and encourages quiet students to speak
up. Another professor hands out a "comment card" each time a student provides a
strong response or insightful comment. Students turn back the cards at the end of the
period, and the professor notes on the course roster the number of cards each student
electronic mail and asks the students to write in their responses and comments. He
then hands out copies of all the responses to initiate the class discussion.
Simply saying that you are interested in what your students think and that you
value their opinions may not be enough. In addition, comment positively about a

"Thank you, Steve. Karen also raised that issue earlier, but we didn't pick up on it.
Perhaps now is the time to address it. Thank you for your patience, Karen" )Tiberius,
1990(. Clarke )1988( suggests tagging important assertions or questions with the
student's name: the Amy argument or the Haruko hypothesis. Tiberius )1990( warns
against overdoing this, however, because a class may get tired of being reminded that

make a good comment, check with them first to see whether they are willing to raise

You can involve more students by asking whether they agree with what has
just been said or whether someone can provide another example to support or
contradict a point: "How do the rest of you feel about that?" or "Does anyone who
hasn't spoken care to comment on the plans for People's Park?" Moreover, if you
move away from – rather than toward – a student who makes a comment, the student
will speak up and outward, drawing everyone into the conversation. The comment

• Ask everyone to jot down a response to your question and then choose
someone to speak.
• If only the dominant students raise their hand, restate your desire for
greater student participation: "I'd like to hear from others in the class."

insightful or creative and point out those aspects that is off base. Provide hints,
suggestions, or follow-up questions that will enable students to understand and correct
their own errors. Billson )1986( suggests prompts such as "Good–now let's take. it a
step further"; "Keep going"; "Not quite, but keep thinking about it."
participation with bonus points when assigning final grades. Melvin )1988( describes
a grading scheme based on peer and professor evaluation: Students are asked to rate
the class participation of each of their classmates as high, medium, or low If the

median peer rating is higher than the instructor's rating of that student, the two ratings
are averaged. If the peer rating is lower, the student receives the instructor's rating.
that is, subjective and not defensible if challenged. They also note that such a policy
may discourage free and open discussion, making students hesitant to talk for fear of
addition, faculty argues, thoughtful silence is not unproductive, and shy students
should not be placed at a disadvantage simply because they are shy. There are means
other than grades to encourage and reward participation: verbal praise of good points,

announce this in advance but distributes the first ticket as a surprise. Tickets can be
given to individuals or to small groups. Over the term, he may hand out fifteen to
twenty lottery tickets. In a small class, you maybe able to keep notes on students'
participation and devote some office hours to helping students develop their skills in
presenting their points of view and listening to their classmates )Hertenstein, 1991(.

Participation served the used function of keeping attention level high and
students alert. It could also as one noted, make the class enjoyable.

noted that they were motivated because participation was more interesting than
solitary study.
Participation sessions were also often informal opportunities to use the lecture
to clarify issues .

most of the focus has been on the grave harm that domestic violence causes to the

in the different realms of the child’s life, especially regarding his/her performance at

The subject matter must be presented clearly before the students, so that they
understand it properly. This is a very important factor of participation in the class. The
teacher has mental images of the subject matter that he likes to be teach to the
students. The success of teaching as well as learning will depend upon clarity of this
mental image. If a clear image is not formed on their minds, they will not participate
in their study properly. Therefore the presentation of the subject matter should be as

student can greatly help the teacher devise methods of teaching suited to the student’s
academic and intellectual type of atmosphere for the students. The academic type of
atmosphere prevailing in the home and the school is a perpetual inspiration for the
children to learn more and more. If the academic atmosphere created in the class, the
