ASSESSMENT:

1. What are the effects of an insufficient diet on children in school.

Nutrition also indirectly impacts school performance. Poor nutrition can leave
students’ susceptible to illness or lead to headaches and stomachaches,
resulting in school absences (Brown, Beardslee, & Prothrow-Stith, 2008).
Access to nutrition that incorporates protein, carbohydrates, and glucose has
been shown to improve students’ cognition, concentration, and energy levels
(Bellisle, 2004; Sorhaindo & Feinstein, 2006)

Nutrition affects students’ thinking skills, behavior, and health, all factors that
impact academic performance. Research suggests that diets high in trans and
saturated fats can negatively impact learning and memory, nutritional
deficiencies early in life can affect the cognitive development of school-aged
children, and access to nutrition improves students’ cognition, concentration,
and energy levels.

2. How economics status affects the children education?

Families with higher social economic status can make use of their advantages
to gain access to better education opportunities for their children, to enhance
their possibilities of obtaining higher education (Li 2006; Liu 2008; Zhao and
Hong 2012). Research shows that the parental social economic status can
affect their children’s schooling quality significantly. The higher the social
economic status of a family, the better schools their children attend (Wen 2006;
Chen and Fang 2007; Li 2008; Wu 2013b).

3. What programs negate some of the effects of poverty?

The government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are working

hard to lift the population out of poverty in the Philippines. And one of it’s
program is the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) that was
established in 2008 under former President Arroyo to provide the nation’s
most impoverished families with education and health care assistance.
These conditional cash transfer program helped lift millions out of poverty,
reduced child labour and boosted school attendance rates.
4. Can religion be taught in school? Support your answer.

For a variety of reasons, many educators are understandably reluctant to raise

the topic of religion in the classroom. They may worry about offending a
student, misrepresenting a tradition, or favoring one belief system over
another.But if students are to function as globally competent citizens, they
need to understand religion's profound impact on history, politics, society, and
culture. They should know basic religious facts and principles and recognize
the diversity that exists within each belief system across time and place.

5. How does gender affects social development?

Masculine and feminine cultures and individuals generally differ in how they
communicate with others. For example, feminine people tend to self-disclose
more often than masculine people, and in more intimate details. Likewise,
feminine people tend to communicate more affection, and with
greater intimacy and confidence than masculine people. Generally speaking,
feminine people communicate more and prioritize communication more than
masculine people.

Traditionally, masculine people and feminine people communicate with people

of their own gender in different ways. Masculine people form friendships with
other masculine people based on common interests, while feminine people
build friendships with other feminine people based on mutual support.
However, both genders initiate opposite-gender friendships based on the
same factors. These factors include proximity, acceptance, effort,
communication, common interests, affection and novelty.

6. Are ethnicity and culture the same thing? Explain your answer.

No, they are not the same. Culture is not about superficial group differences
or just a way to label a group of people. It is the shared system of learned and
shared values, beliefs, and rules of conduct that make people behave in a
certain way. While ethnicity is a sense of people-hood when people feel close
because of sharing a similarity. It is when you share the same things, for
example, physical characteristics such as skin color or bloodline, linguistic
characteristics such as language or dialect, and environmental characteristics
such as living in the same area or sharing the same place of origin.

7. Is subject centered curriculum advantages to learners?

In some way, it has also its advantages, and among this is: that learners like it,
they're used to it and it fits their idea of what school should be. It also allows
the learner to get the content and motivates the learner to work hard.

But it has also its disadvantages such as it is more quantitative than qualitative,
it does not give the learner time to gain the content.
