Study Habits By Gender At The Library

She had the perception that all boys were unorganized and not neat. She complained to me, and I told her to give the boy a chance and to erase her false perception. In addition, the female student agreed and they were able to work together and create an excellent project. Moreover, as a Queen Elizabeth Secondary student, I have a seen a different view of the way both boys and girls interact in the classroom. In particular, from my own school experience, I have observed that girls and boys communicate well with each other. For instance, in my drama class, boys and girls are not afraid or hesitant to work together on creating plays and other group related projects. This observation has prompted me to believe that gender differences are for the most part non-existent at Queen Elizabeth Secondary School. From my school experiences and my peer tutoring observations, I can say that gender equality is existent at QE, however, different genders behave differently in the classroom, as boys are more engaged to learn than girls in math and science related

During my field experience class this past Fall semester, as I observed a class of 4th graders at George Washington Carver Elementary, I had the opportunity to sit in as the students spent some time in the library with the school librarian, Mrs. Williams. Although I was technically there to observe the regular classroom teacher, the brief amount of time I spent in the library was inspiring to say the least. I watched as the students excitedly told Mrs. Williams and their peers about the books they were reading and how much they were enjoying them. They were so excited about reading, in fact, that they were appalled when I regrettably admitted that I wasn’t currently reading a book. For these students, reading was something that everybody should be doing, and they weren’t accepting any excuses (Believe me, I tried in vain to explain why I wasn’t reading a book). In no time at all, it

The Germantown Public Library is a quiet building in a small, rural town of Germantown, which is thirty miles outside of Oxford. The building is fairly new, remodeled in 2007, housing two levels. The upstairs is devoted to adult books, adult movies, cd’s, bathrooms, a history room, a circulation desk, three quiet study areas, and a quiet computer room. The downstairs is the children 's area. It contains all the children and teen books, a slightly less quiet computer area, a craft room, a meeting room, a study room, two offices, and an information desk. All these appealing aspects make the space that draws in people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, different ages, and different education levels.

One aspect of the library that stuck out to me instantly was the distribution of seating. The first floor of the library has a large collection of relatively comfortable bright red chairs and several tables with dividers to give people privacy. What’s interesting about this arrangement is that the first

Most students are unaware of the fact that librarians are academic experts just as a student’s professor would be. Their perception of librarian’s role is skewed. They have forms of information literacy and can assist students as well, making the student’s research more easy. The ERIAL project also found that librarians overestimate student’s research abilities and this reflects in the responses of the librarians which can make student intimidated. Also, professors fail to require student to visit a librarian before furthering in their research project. A humanities librarian at Northeastern Illinois says that she often has trouble deciding whether she should give a student answers for something or show them how to get there, which can seem like pressure. If she has had this struggle, then I am certain that other librarians have

My second year as the Library Assistant in a middle school as only proven to reinforce my love for reading and books. As I begin this journey into discovering how libraries identify the reader, choose books, and effectively display collections, I am excited to learn all there is about the complicated life of a librarian.

Utilizing their resources and helping patrons are just a couple of the many task faced in the library profession. With a fully committed services to academia, the Binghamton University library has been instrumental to both students and the community. An interview with assistant reader service coordinator Sean Bustard allowed to have an in-depth look at what the job and task entitles as hundreds of students and faculty seek help and advice. In looking at what is available in terms of funding and resources as well as how the library and structured and organized to fit the needs of all fellow patrons.

The library, in my life, has evolved from simply a place where literate people go to read and do their research about specific topics. After my experiences writing my research paper, I had evaluated its utility. It began with a trip to

In order to achieve a stronger society, democracy, and educated population this must be done. Source B shows many different activities in a library. There are activities for babies, toddlers, and children. This shows how libraries are communal places. They provide for the poor and the uneducated of the community the ability to teach their children.

In this case, public school teachers are taught to regard girl's behavior as the standard way of acting in class. Boys will “instinctively” differ from this feminized standard behavior, and so will often find themselves in trouble more than girls. Educational psychologists found that girls hold a greater need in pleasing the teachers, and therefore aim to get high grades. Boys, on the other hand, will motivate themselves to study if the subject material triggers an interest in them.

A major part of the information, such as the genders’ use of different approaches to discuss a problem, the chances of miscommunication that causes, and the genders’ use of space, was entirely new concepts to me and surprised me with their simple complexity. The concepts and ideas that we went over in class were simple to comprehend but the complexity laid in how we are subconsciously nurtured in a society where these concepts are normal

There is also a big library in the university. The library section is divided into 5 parts.

Libraries are facing a struggle of identity brought about by technology. Once the internet became a household feature the library was no longer the most convenient information center for most patrons. So while dealing with new problems, library staff are also re-creating the library. But what of the old libraries endures into today’s libraries? More than most would assume, “Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves.” (Library Bill of Rights). The library remains a place for all people to have equal access to information and services. The face has changed, but the heart remains

A library is said to be the heart and soul of a college, also a refuge and a place of discovery, says author Alan Gibbons. The quality of education given in college can be roughly judged from the type of books in its library and its use by students(Gibbons). Since the renovation of the J.C. Oliver Library, I hadn’t been there. So, I decided to complete my filed observation there. I think the library is a more appropriate for this exercise since taking notes would be unusual. For the first five minutes, I looked around the whole environment in general to get a feel. I spot an empty table between the entry and the reference desk. From here I could observe who is coming in and where they go first: the reference desk or the periodical stand, or the computer station. While I was walking, I was spotted by the librarian who reminded me “M. Kamgue, your students print a lot, you need to stop sending them here to print” this make me realized that maybe the Library may not be a good spot for me to observe.

Libraries customarily serve as providers of vast arrays of knowledge, provoking introspection and musing enabling the creation of original notions serving as a haven for independent thought, but also as an area to exchange knowledge. In the case of the J. Murrey Atkins Library—explicitly the ground floor—the underlying message provided by the facilitators is considerably complex. The Atkins Library, is committed to being academically resourceful and reliable, striving to preserve a tranquil and safe environment for students; ensuring comfort, socialization, and multitasking in a diverse setting. This message is insinuated in posters and signs exhibited throughout the ground floor, the technologically advanced appliances, the wide variety of seating arrangements, and the alarm systems, scattered across the ceiling.
