During this SBA our theme was “Mental Illness” and we all had our topics. To
gather this information we worked cooperatively together as a group and we
enjoyed doing
so. We researched on the internet together. We created an online group to draft
our ideas,
brainstorm, and communicate, this was effective for us, and while doing so we
helped each other
edit and revise. Also, we are happy with the pieces we have done.
Our artifacts encapsulate our theme because they were about: eating
disorders, anxiety (
which are both symptoms of mental Illness/ Depression), suicide, and what
factors contribute
to depression among teenagers. We also mainly focused on teenagers whilst
doing this
SBA.
The 3 artifacts that we have chosen to focus on during this group report are 2
articles and a
picture. We chose these artifacts because they each provided unique insights
and
perspectives on the theme and individual topics that we were exploring. The
first article by
Caitlin Geng focuses on the factors of depression including biological,
psychological, and
social factors. The second article investigates the interplay between anxiety,
student
achievement, self-concept, and self-efficacy in both students with and without
disabilities.
Anxiety’s detrimental impact on academic performance, self-efficacy, and self-
concept is
evident, particularly in students grappling with anxiety issues. Lastly, the
picture from online,
tells how having mental challenges coping with the outcome of their future and
without the help
of others, youngsters tend to turn to suicide as a way of escaping the pain they
feel from
carrying the burden of not being a failure.
