Task 2.2 Educational Technology Risks
I'll focus on: no evidence of
improved in student achievement from low attendance rates and how it hinders socialization.
Research the benefits of educational
technology and the effect that they have on our society and students.
School should be a calming and relaxing haven for the young
to grow and learn. However, not all
students have the same interest in education and some of them see attending school
as a punishment. When school becomes a
place of dread and stagnate grow we begin to see detached uncaring students
with poor attendance and/or truancy will increase in the younger elementary
years. The relationship between student's attendance
and achievement in public schools continues to show a positive correlation.
This study has evaluated that the number of days students attended school
improved their learning. Research has determine, lack of attendance not only
affected individual students academically, but also affected the learning
environment of the entire school. (
Reducing the rates of student truancy and chronic
absenteeism continues to be a leading goal within school’s policies. Hard and more firm standards are placed in
school handbooks to explain where the district places maximum absenteeism. Some students and parents will continue to
abuse the tolerance level. The school
has to accept the students or parent is aware of the policy, but may continue
to ignore. The district has to consider
the choice of retaining a student for another year or worse dropping them from
the registration. The tolerance is
almost accepted as a normal standard in the community. Despite the long history
of concern over student attendance, the issue has received relatively little
attention from educational researchers. If
schools can improve the truancy of students, then education will begin to gain
academically. It is deem, the more
students are between the four walls of the classroom, the better prepared they
will become and achievement levels will begin to show improvement.
