Blog Post 2: How To Pay Attention in Class

There are students want to participate actively during class hours and there are students who are active to have a better grade. But why do most of the students don't have any attentions in the class? Is this because their mentality or they are not interested to the subjects that's why they are doing something that is not related to the class which is definitely wrong.

According to the article "Paying Attention In Class" that I've read in boston.com. Maggie Jackson quoted that "Paying attention is more important skill than you might think - and new evidence suggests it can be taught."
The ability to pay careful attention isn't important just for students and air traffic controllers. Researchers findings tells us attention is crucial to a host of other, sometimes surprising, life skills: the ability to sort through conflicting evidence, to connect more deeply with other people, and even to develop a conscience.

The summary of the article that I read is about the surveys that students need attention in class. Those researchers found that the hierarchy of studying defines great contribution to corporate world. The important thing is about conflicting evidence, to connect more deeply with other people.

All of us need to learn something that's why we're studying. The important thing is every time we are going to school, we should always remember that all of these are steps required to be taken to have a better future. We need to study and strive more to achieve our goals. During classes, we must pay attention and be responsible. Do not let time to pass. Each minute is important. I made this because I want to encourage those students who are not sincere in studying. We need to value discipline, innovation and integrity to have a personality better than others.


According to another article called "Positive classroom interactions vital to pre-K Learning" by Jennifer Johnston in news.vanderbilt.edu she mentioned about self- regulation skills also called "executive functioning" are related to children's ability to control their effort, pay attention and stay on task. She also noted that children in classrooms infused with more positive behaviors made gains not just in classroom regulation but also academically. As she quoted "The research marks the first time empirical data have proved what many educators have believed to be true anecdotally." It means that Children must acquire better cognitive learning skills in a classroom infused with 'positive effective interactions'.

The article talks about how to interact positively through class, although it also tells about positive interactions in pre-kindergarten classroom may be equality or more important for the future academic development. It trains that the 4-years old development to improve knowledge and understand ability among lessons. It also helps that the students not to being lazy and encourage to pay attention during class hours.

 Some attention is perforce given to the origin and the line of derivation of the institution, as well as to features of social life that are not commonly classed as economic. All I can say are don't let the time passes by without studying hard. Pay attention in class. We must do well in class like being active and paying attention to learn more and also to have a better grades in our subjects. Do right in class: listen, participate and learn, to develop improvement how to interact to those lessons and how to cooperate with. The more behavior disapproval, the less gain children made in self- regulation.
