Building Classroom Success: Eliminating Academic Fear and Failure de Dr Andrew Martin

Building Classroom Success: Eliminating Academic Fear and Failure

Autor Dr Andrew Martin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mar 2010
School has the potential to be a major source of personal and academic fulfillment. However, the reality is that fear and failure pervade many students' academic lives. Rather than respond to these fears in constructive and courageous ways, many students engage in self-defeating, avoidant and helpless behaviours. This book examines the counterproductive strategies students use in schools today, and suggests successful practices educators can adopt to eliminate fear and failure in the classroom and help students respond to their problematic behaviours in more positive and productive ways. Through building student success, educators build classroom success.

Recenzii

Dr Martin has produced here a straightforward and manageable guide to dealing with a myriad of student issues which are all rooted in self doubt and a lack of confidence. The content of Dr Martin's advice is accessible for both new and experienced teachers and delivers an interesting angle on dealing with issues arising in the classroom...
... a comprehensive and informative volume that belongs on the shelf of every teacher or teacher educator concerned with the academic wellbeing of students. In this invaluable resource, Dr. Martin has not only vividly captured the complex dilemmas facing today's learners and teachers, but he has also offered empirically sound recommendations and thoughtful guidance for dealing effectively with those dilemmas......If there is one book that teachers or school administrators read this year, if there is one volume to which they turn for guidance or support, it should be Building Classroom Success.
There has long been a need for a text aimed at teachers which explores the implications of research on academic self-concepts for classroom practices. Andrew Martin's book meets that need in the authoritative fashion that would be expected from one of the world-leading researchers in the field.
...up-to-date advice and guidance on how to deal with some of the most difficult and pervasive classroom issues facing teachers and schools today: fear, failure, disengagement, avoidance, pessimism, and helplessness - to name a few ...I highly recommend this excellent volume to teachers, teacher educators, trainee teachers, school executives, parents and education departments.
Despite the fact that the examples in the book are drawn from early-, middle- and late adolescents, the topic of the book can be applied to students of all ages, from elementary-school-aged pupils to university students. The book can also be used as a self-help guide in overcoming exam fears, avoiding failure and developing personal strategies towards academic success. Those who work with children, such as teachers, teaching assistants, psychologists would find the book very useful to apply to their practices. I would also recommend this book to parents who want to understand the complexity of their children's fears and who are keen on helping children to view the classroom not as a battlefield, but a world where they can learn and improve.
