Book Description
Background of the Study Modern age is the age of competition in all walks of life either it is academic or vast arena of non-academic fields. Therefore, success in every field is determined by performance. The concept of performance refers to how well the given task is completed against the set standards. Everywhere there is high competition in the working world which is increasingly growing day by day. The importance of doing well in schools has caught the attention of everyone in all spheres of life including parents, teachers, legislators, and government education departments, etc. Although, simple education is necessarily very important but not the only road to success in the competitive world. However, quality of performance in academic achievement and thereafter, continuous quality effort to achieve the goals and objectives are instrumental for performance at par with standards to meet the challenges. Much effort has been made to identify, track and encourage the progress of students in schools. Parents have to care about their child's performance in school because they believe good academic results will provide better career choices, success, and job security. Performance in school is evaluated in a number of ways. For regular performance assessment, student demonstration of their understanding and knowledge in written and oral tests, performance in presentations, completion of homework assignments, participation in-class activities and discussions are and finally achievement scores usually considered as performance criteria. Teachers evaluate it in the form of grades to describe how well a student has done. Grading system came into existence in the late Victorian period and was initially criticized due to high subjectivity. Different teachers valued different aspects of learning more than others, although some standardization was attempted in order to make the system fairer the problem still continued. The performance, especially of students in studies, is most likely determined by family environment, emotional maturity, and educational encouragement which all initially come from the family environment. Here, it is important to mention that the phenomenon of educational encouragement has not been studied especially in the Indian context which to the present investigator seems to be very important for students' motivation and thereby attaining high performance. With these above deliberations, it is necessary to go further to undertake each and every variable for a comprehensive discussion that follows in the writings to proceed. Chapter -1 Introd,

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Pedagogy - General, grade: 3.8, , language: English, abstract: The general purposes of this study is to find out the influence of home environment on study academic performance. Specifically, the study sets out to examine the influence of parental occupation on the academic performance of secondary school students in Owerri metropolis of Imo state. It tries to find out whether the size of the family to which they belong affect the students academic performance in Owerri metropolis; and to determine the extent to which type of family would affect the academic performance of students. This study will be delimited to government owned secondary schools in Owerri. Municipal of Imo state Nigeria. Over a period of time, it has been observed the students who are exposed to the same lesson by the same teachers are likely to perform differently when they are evaluated. According to Fagbamiye, the board education or ministry of education world wide suspected teaching methodology and classroom teachers as being the cause at the problem yet it seems to persist. This shows that outside the school environment, students are faced with other factors that influence their academic performances. There is also clear distinction between the gifted children and others, but even at that there are factors that influence the academic of both gifted and non-gifted children which can not be traced to the school environment.

Book Description
The basic problem that all living being face after taking birth is the problem of adaptation to environment mentally, physically, emotionally, socially and professionally. Some creatures have some natural capacities that help them adapt to their environment and no systematic education is needed for this purpose but the case of human is different because of the most dependent being of all the living being known. Family and the society educate the man formally as well as informally to make him dependent. The intellectual power and wisdom that man has over and above other animals help him to receive education. It is the education that helps him to adapt to the environment. It is generally believed that children are educated in schools and colleges. But the truth is that a child receives his education from various sources besides schools and college. American educationist John Dewey defines education as a process of life or development. This development depends upon heredity and environment. Heredity is fixed and definite but environment can be manipulated to be good or bad. Thus, education clearly means the providing of proper environment for the development of the child. The family, the school, the community, the state, the newspapers, the magazines, the radio, the television, the cinema etc. are all the means which provide diverse opportunities for the child to learn something or the other and bring about a modification in his behaviour. All these means are the sources of education. All these agencies of education have their impact upon the growing child as they influence the education or development of the child in their own way directly or indirectly, openly or silently. Hence, through all these agencies education is concerned with the preservation, transmission and development of cultural heritage. Education imparted through informal agencies is natural and incidence. It is imparted in a free atmosphere without any rigid control and direction. These agencies inculcate the desired human qualities and moral values in the child. Home is the first basic informal agency where child learns various theories and principles of conduct and behaviour. Home environment brings the socialization of the child and imbue him with a sense of duty and responsibility. Family is a basic unit of a society where a child born and develop their emotions. Academic development and progress of the students depend upon the parental involvement with the school, their socio-economic status (SES), their education, their attitude and their thoughts. The amount of parent's interest, behaviour and discussion among family members directly affects the student's academic life. Parents are first educator of their children. A child's family and healthy home environment has a positive impact on their language and literacy development and their academic performance. This impact is stronger during the childhood but continues throughout their academic life. Home is the basic place for emotional learning where a child learns how to feel and how to give reaction of feelings, how to read and express hopes and fears and how to express own feelings.

Book Description
Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book Description
Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Book Description
Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.
