Yes! Heredity, environment and individual is the factor that contributes to what a person may become.
Heredity are the way we are because it’s in our genes. We turn out the way we do because of our

childhood experiences. Or our health and well-being stem from the lifestyle choices we make as adults.

But there’s another powerful source of influence you may not have considered: your life as a fetus. The

co
nutrition you received in the womb; the pollutants, drugs and infections you were exposed to during

eH w
gestation; your mother’s health and state of mind while she was pregnant with you — all these factors

shaped you as a baby and continue to affect you to this day. If heredity and environment interact, which

one has a greater influence or contribution, heredity or environment? The relative contributions of

heredity and environment are not additive. So we can't say 50% is a contribution of heredity and 50% of
environment.

It is related you each other because they are both study or issue about human development that the 4 th

paragraph refers to a woman who is pregnant, and how she can develop the child conditioned on her
womb. And the major development trends would remain potentially change throughout her life. Most
pregnant woman are characterized both by relatively fixed development attribute and by undeveloped

potentials that require maturation, experience to become manifested. Stability and change attempts for
fixed and flexible aspect and various periods of development.

 and parents that could not be more profound. It calls into question the standard social
science model of the child as a bundle of reflexes and a blank cortex waiting to be
programed by benevolent parents, which, when you think about it, is pretty improbable on
biological grounds. Like other living things, children are product of evolution and must be
active players in their own struggle to survive and eventually to reproduce. This has
important implications, thoroughly explored herein. For one thing biological interests of the
parent and the child are not identical. So even children acquiesce to their parent’s rewards,
punishments, examples, and naggings for the time being, because they are smaller and have
no choice. They should not allow their personalities to be permanently shaped by these
tactics.

2. Watch “Lonely Only” in your YouTube. Only Children: Debunking the Myths about Single
Children. In 1896 Granville Stanley Hall described only children as “deficient on the social

Only children are supposed to be spoiled, selfish and lonely. In fact they’re just fine and on the
rise, as more parents choose against having multiple children. A burgeoning acceptance toward
families with only one child is finally starting to creep into society at large, eliminating that
o

mythical stereotype. Bill and Hillary have one. Frankin D. Roosevelt was one. And the chances

are you probably know one or two. Even I have one of the selfish, lonely, and maladjusted

creatures said to be populating America is greater numbers every year. I am referring to the
“only child”, also known as singletons or on lies. Despite the only child being a growing
demographic, having one still attracts a surprising amount of criticism. At play ground in
ed d

London, one mother told me she thought having an only child was tantamount to child abuse as
ar stu

she watched my daughter toddle alone in the sandbox. When I told my mother that I probably
wouldn’t have any more children, she exclaimed disparagingly that one child was simply not a
family. My husband, on the other hand, has not had any of these accusations levelled against
is

him. The shaming of mothers of singletons is yet another arena in which guilt, scorn, and
impossibly high expectations are heaped upon women, encouraged by society biased views.

LEARNING ASSESSMENT

1. It is said that because teachers are overloaded with work, they usually frown on the conduct of
ed d

research. Reflect on the consequences of this attitude. What can be done to prevent this? Write your
ar stu

reflections in not less than 150 words.

To prevent this situation we should have researchers and teachers but I believe that we need more
colleagues who do both well. They research efforts tend to keep us current in our fields, which has the
is

potential to make them us informed and more interesting teachers. There were very few colleagues who
Th

were not engaged in research. Teaching is important but research is more important only a tiny of
colleagues engage in research, and I believe there are several reasons one is that the teaching is
considerably higher to teach, so making time for research is challenging. For example the teacher
typically work seven days a week necessary if they want to continue publishing. Not all faculty are willing
sh

or able to do that. Another factor is that many colleagues aren’t interested in research. They are like
teaching, and they tend to do only the most minimal amount of research required to secure tenure and
promotion. A third reason is that, I believe that some colleagues just are not very good at research. They
do not keep up the literature in their areas, and they don’t get ideas for research.

 2. Research itself has proven that teachers have everything to gain and nothing to lose when they get
involved in the research process. Explain its impact to them in not less than 200 words.

There’s a lot of experienced that the professor on the research studies have experienced of struggles
and difficulty. They also need guidance for effective teaching. But maintaining a positive relationship
among students, teacher and also administrators create a harmonious learning environment. If the
students participating in teacher do research also helps the teachers become more deliberate in their
decision-making and actions in the classroom. The teacher research develops her professional
dispositions of their lifelong learning, reflective and mindful teaching, and self-transformation. Engaging
the teacher research at any level may lead to be rethinking and reconstructing what it means to be a
teacher or teacher educator and, consequently, the way teachers relate to their students. Teacher
research has the potential to demonstrate to the teachers and prospective teachers that the learning to
teach is inherently connected to the learning and inquire. When the students are nurtured in such
surroundings, the students are likely to increase and develop their intellectual accomplishment as well as
their knowledge and learn more effectively. And also helps to the teacher to be more knowledgeable

m
enough and effectively. Through the encouragement and cooperation of us, mutual support by getting

er as
students to study collaborative and communicate with others can also help the students to study in

co
group, they also share their ideas and knowledge to comply their assignment and projects. Support from

eH w
the professor are also helps the students to boost their confidence students learn when they are actively.

o.
Engaged in the class activities. A good teacher does not impose her ideas or opinions on the class but
rs e
allows her students to participate actively in class and to encouraged the meaningful application of
ou urc
knowledge, the teachers should encourage their students to think what they have to learn in everyday
life.
