Hidden Curriculum

Critical issues facing educators today include; educational inequity, socio-economic status of students, cultural diversity, stereotyping, dominate cultural paradigms, and social disadvantage. Because of these issues, educators will be best prepared for classroom life if they find ways to adapt and modify the learning environment in order, to provide for inclusive regardless of the learners needs. All children in Australia are presented with the opportunity to attend schools which are designed to be inclusive for any and all abilities. Due to the diverse nature of the school age population in Australia classrooms are made up of an assortment of needs in relation to social, cognitive, and physical areas of learning.

The first aspect began the adventure and established sociology within America, occurred from “The Chicago school”. Here, American sociology officially became established in 1892, by Albion Small, who lead the groundwork for many students with an interest in sociology to be capable to study accordingly. The school

Norma is someone who cares about what is going on back home when she is not around. The quote, “She would drive a hundred miles round-trip to visit tribal elders in the nursing homes in Spokane.” (pg 67) shows that she went out of her away to go back home to spend time with the people of her tribe. And because it is obvious that she cares for the reservation, my group created a status update of her resharing the nursing home’s post about someone dying and her writing about how she travelling home to visit the nursing home and saying something nice for the man that died.

In “The Daily Grind: Lessons in the Hidden Curriculum,” by Peggy Orenstein, the reader is shown the extremely different personalities of the boys and the girls in Mrs. Richter’s class. Orenstein interviews Amy, an eighth grade honor roll student to get a better understanding of the classroom. Amy is a very self-confidant popular young girl but when she enters Mrs. Richter’s math classroom she becomes invisible. She is one of the top dogs in the eighth grade reigning elites but is portrayed as a totally different person in the class. When she enters a classroom with boys who are more confident then her she hides in her shell. This essay has gender inequalities portrayed by showing the boys as more intelligent and intimidating than the girls.

the professions and the tasks and responsibilities in the veterinary field are not as easy as they sound. Being a veterinary has its responsibilities and they have to be followed by everyone in the clinic or workplace to make things simple and keep it a good organized place to work . It is way more difficult and not as simple, everyone just thinks that being a vet is just about taking care of animals and that's it, but it's really more than that. Also being a veterinary technician is similar to a veterinarian but they have different duties. One of the duties of being a tech is evaluat animals assist veterinarian, collect samples and administer medication, clean and wrap wounds and many more duties.

The requirements needed to practice law today consist of an undergraduate school degree, an impressive Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) score and grade point average, a law school diploma and a successful completion of the Bar Exam. There exists no legal boundaries or barriers to the practice of law, only the desire and work to do so. Subsequently, the percentage of female students enrolled in law schools across the United States has remained at nearly half of the population of universities since 2000. This percentage is

Chapter one explains more about the ability to use sociological perspective, build understanding to each unique person with different patterned lives. As a college student I’d hope to get a good job after I graduate, because sociology is a great development of knowledge for the real world. Sociology can help anyone prepare for communication and learn different factors of the real world we live in. Our economy is nothing but industrial and without socializing and communicating in being bigger and better than before, where would we be? We are nothing but expanding

When it comes to the topic of hidden intellectualism, most of us will readily agree that a lot of students are seen to have an issue with it. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of is it the students fault. Whereas some are convinced it is, others maintain it is at the fault of the teachers or professors. Gerald Graff has his argument that in many cases book smarts can be hidden in street smarts. I believe that kids that struggle with their talents being hidden behind “street smarts” need a certain amount of attention and focus to help them acquire their abilities and strengths.

All of the teachers and administrators from my schools always encouraged and told my peers and I that if we put in the work we can be anything we want to be and that we can go to any college they dreamt of. But when it came to teaching material, most teachers never went out of their way to go in depth in making sure their students were interested in the material and enjoying their schoolwork. Anyon explains how there was really no excitement for the children with their schoolwork, and that they just did the work because they had to; there was no real passion behind any of it. Which is how I felt doing most of my schoolwork. The way Anyon explained the middle-class school system’s “hidden curriculum” is almost exact to what I experienced in my schooling and I never even realized

She was concerned that social work students were being placed in the field without proper supervision and that those agencies weren’t teaching students as well a professor could (Wisner, 1958). She also wanted social work students to have access to other subjects and be able to incorporate research into their studies with the proper facility and training (Coston, 1986). Edith was strongly influenced by Charles Booth, Sidney Webb, and Beatrice Webb (Wisner, 1958). The American Economic Associate and the American Statistical Association also influenced Edith Abbott tremendously (Wisner, 1958). According to Elizabeth Wisner, Abbott was in many ways the architect of our present graduate curriculum. After Edith passed away, many people continued to make her dreams a reality. Flexner and Frankfurter furthered her interest in seeking university affiliation for social work education (Costin, 1983). Edith Abbott’s ideas were better respected after she passed. She influenced many people, not just social workers but educators from many different disciplines. The way that social workers learn today is partially thanks to her.

Sociology to me after taking this class means many things. Sociology is the study of human behavior and how humans development from the moment they are born. It is the study of how our upbringing, family, race, religion, and status effect us from the moment we step onto this earth. It is how other people see us and treat us in different ways. It’s about how people from different backgrounds all have different behaviors and different ways they effect society.

Before commencing a discussion on analyzing the article “What makes sociology a different discipline” from the other sciences we should have the know-how about sociology. In the words of modern thinkers of sociology namely Karl Marx, Max Weber and Emile Durkheim “Social fact should be the subject matter for the study of social life and can provide explanations for human thinking and behavior (p19)”. What we infer from the above definition is that man is born as a social animal. Man cannot live alone. He prefers to live in groups and his behavior that is actions and deeds are well governed and regulated by certain rules and laws of conduct that comprises of moral ethics and civic standards. His standard of living is said to be within the

Education in the largest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another. In sociology we have various schools of thoughts or theories and each of these have their own view on the impact of sociology on “life chances”

After reviewing the article titles given for this first assignment, I believe they indicate that Sociology, generally speaking, is not only a study of diversity or commonality in traits among people; it is also a science about factors in a person’s life and how these factors culminate responses. Interestingly enough, its topics of concern seem to be directly determined by current and common events of the world. Through the invention and expansion of new ideas, popular trends and fashions through time, Sociology adapts to responsibly to service the very subjects of interest it studies; for, even the slightest change of a person’s daily experience can have an insurmountable impact on attitude, personal growth, family
