Download or read book Student Stress written by Neal Whitman and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1984 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stresses experienced by college students at different educational levels are considered, along with ways that colleges can help reduce destructive forms of stress. After discussing how stress and coping are related, problems in defining stress and coping are considered, and models are proposed for understanding stress. Following an overview on the way that stress and coping relate to the role of student, descriptions are provided of environmental settings, sources of stress are given, and solutions are presented for undergraduate students, graduate students, law students, medical students, and medical residents. Solutions suggested for reducing distress in students include: stress inoculation (e.g., informing students in advance of what difficulties they might face); improving campus mental health services; organizing peer counseling and self-help groups; improved orientation for new graduate students; greater flexibility in core requirements; expanding the role of faculty advisors; giving earlier and more frequent exams for law students; deemphasizing grades in law school; basing appointment to the law review on writing skills rather than class rank; improving orientation for first-year medical students and residents; and better counseling and support groups for medical students and residents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From two leading child and adolescent mental health experts comes a guide for the parents of every college and college-bound student who want to know what’s normal mental health and behavior, what’s not, and how to intervene before it’s too late. “The title says it all...Chock full of practical tools, resources and the wisdom that comes with years of experience, The Stressed Years of their Lives is destined to become a well-thumbed handbook to help families cope with this modern age of anxiety.” — Brigid Schulte, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author of Overwhelmed and director of the Better Life Lab at New America All parenting is in preparation for letting go. However, the paradox of parenting is that the more we learn about late adolescent development and risk, the more frightened we become for our children, and the more we want to stay involved in their lives. This becomes particularly necessary, and also particularly challenging, in mid- to late adolescence, the years just before and after students head off to college. These years coincide with the emergence of many mood disorders and other mental health issues. When family psychologist Dr. B. Janet Hibbs's own son came home from college mired in a dangerous depressive spiral, she turned to Dr. Anthony Rostain. Dr. Rostain has a secret superpower: he understands the arcane rules governing privacy and parental involvement in students’ mental health care on college campuses, the same rules that sometimes hold parents back from getting good care for their kids. Now, these two doctors have combined their expertise to corral the crucial emotional skills and lessons that every parent and student can learn for a successful launch from home to college.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Overloaded and Underprepared “Parents, teachers, and administrators are all concerned that America’s kids are stressed out, checked out, or both—but many have no idea where to begin when it comes to solving the problem. That’s why the work of Challenge Success is so urgent. It has created a model for creating change in our schools that is based on research and solid foundational principles like communication, creativity, and compassion. If your community wants to build better schools and a brighter future, this book is the place to start.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind “Challenge Success synthesizes the research on effective school practices and offers concrete tools and strategies that educators and parents can use immediately to make a difference in their communities. By focusing on the day-to-day necessities of a healthy schedule; an engaging, personalized, and rigorous curriculum; and a caring climate, this book is an invaluable resource for school leaders, teachers, parents, and students to help them design learning communities where every student feels a sense of belonging, purpose, and motivation to learn the skills necessary to succeed now and in the future.” —Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, Stanford University “Finally, a book about education and student well-being that is both research-based and eminently readable. With all the worry about student stress and academic engagement, Pope, Brown and Miles gently remind us that there is much we already know about how to create better schools and healthier kids. Citing evidence-based ‘best practices’ gleaned from years of work with schools across the country, they show us what is not working, but more importantly, what we need to do to fix things. Filled with practical suggestions and exercises that can be implemented easily, as well as advice on how to approach long-term change, Overloaded and Underprepared is a clear and compelling roadmap for teachers, school administrators and parents who believe that we owe our children a better education.” —Madeline Levine, co-founder Challenge Success; author of The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well “This new book from the leaders behind Challenge Success provides a thorough and balanced exploration of the structural challenges facing students, parents, educators, and administrators in our primary and secondary schools today. The authors’ unique approach of sharing proven strategies that enable students to thrive, while recognizing that the most effective solutions are tailored on a school-by-school basis, makes for a valuable handbook for anyone seeking to better understand the many complex dimensions at work in a successful learning environment.” —John J. DeGioia, President of Georgetown University

Download or read book Active Learning in College Science written by Joel J. Mintzes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-23 with total page 989 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores evidence-based practice in college science teaching. It is grounded in disciplinary education research by practicing scientists who have chosen to take Wieman’s (2014) challenge seriously, and to investigate claims about the efficacy of alternative strategies in college science teaching. In editing this book, we have chosen to showcase outstanding cases of exemplary practice supported by solid evidence, and to include practitioners who offer models of teaching and learning that meet the high standards of the scientific disciplines. Our intention is to let these distinguished scientists speak for themselves and to offer authentic guidance to those who seek models of excellence. Our primary audience consists of the thousands of dedicated faculty and graduate students who teach undergraduate science at community and technical colleges, 4-year liberal arts institutions, comprehensive regional campuses, and flagship research universities. In keeping with Wieman’s challenge, our primary focus has been on identifying classroom practices that encourage and support meaningful learning and conceptual understanding in the natural sciences. The content is structured as follows: after an Introduction based on Constructivist Learning Theory (Section I), the practices we explore are Eliciting Ideas and Encouraging Reflection (Section II); Using Clickers to Engage Students (Section III); Supporting Peer Interaction through Small Group Activities (Section IV); Restructuring Curriculum and Instruction (Section V); Rethinking the Physical Environment (Section VI); Enhancing Understanding with Technology (Section VII), and Assessing Understanding (Section VIII). The book’s final section (IX) is devoted to Professional Issues facing college and university faculty who choose to adopt active learning in their courses. The common feature underlying all of the strategies described in this book is their emphasis on actively engaging students who seek to make sense of natural objects and events. Many of the strategies we highlight emerge from a constructivist view of learning that has gained widespread acceptance in recent years. In this view, learners make sense of the world by forging connections between new ideas and those that are part of their existing knowledge base. For most students, that knowledge base is riddled with a host of naïve notions, misconceptions and alternative conceptions they have acquired throughout their lives. To a considerable extent, the job of the teacher is to coax out these ideas; to help students understand how their ideas differ from the scientifically accepted view; to assist as students restructure and reconcile their newly acquired knowledge; and to provide opportunities for students to evaluate what they have learned and apply it in novel circumstances. Clearly, this prescription demands far more than most college and university scientists have been prepared for.

Download or read book The Stress Solution written by Zayden Alex and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science of StressIn today's fast-paced and demanding world, stress has become an inevitable part of our lives. As students, we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities, such as academics, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, and maintaining social relationships. The pressure to excel in all areas can quickly become overwhelming, leading to immense stress. However, what many of us may not realize is just how harmful stress can be to our mental and physical well-being. Stress triggers a complex series of physiological responses in our bodies. When we encounter a stressful situation, our brain releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones prepare our body for a fight-or-flight response, increasing our heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. While this response is essential for our survival in dangerous situations, chronic stress can take a toll on our health. Research has shown that prolonged exposure to stress can weaken our immune system, making us more susceptible to illnesses. It can also disrupt our sleep patterns, leading to chronic fatigue and a decreased ability to concentrate. Moreover, stress affects our cognitive functions, impairing our memory, decision-making abilities, and overall academic performance. It can also contribute to the development of mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. Understanding the science behind stress is crucial for managing it effectively. By recognizing the signs of stress, we can take proactive steps to mitigate its harmful effects. Techniques such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness meditation, regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy diet can help lower stress levels. Additionally, seeking social support from friends, family, or professional counselors can provide a valuable outlet for stress relief. Talking about our concerns and emotions can alleviate the feeling of being overwhelmed and provide us with a fresh perspective on our challenges. It's important to prioritize self-care and establish healthy boundaries in our lives. Learning to say "no" when our plate is already full and setting realistic goals can help reduce unnecessary stress. Time management techniques, such as creating to-do lists and breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps, can also prevent us from getting overwhelmed. Understanding the science of stress empowers us to take control of our mental health and academic excellence. By implementing effective stress management strategies and seeking support when needed, we can navigate the challenges of student life with resilience and achieve our full potential. Remember, stress may be a part of life, but it doesn't have to define it.

Download or read book The Stress Solution written by Rangan Chatterjee and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The very existence of stress generates more stress. The more of it that piles up, the less we're able to cope. It's time to take back control. For Dr Chatterjee, the key to solving the problem of stress is about addressing the underlying causes of our anxieties in four main areas: Body, Mind, Relationships, and Life. Pairing the science of what happens in our brains and our bodies when we become stressed, with personal accounts and patient cases, Dr Chatterjee provides easy to implement solutions for the whole spectrum of stressors we face on a daily basis. From identifying our 'Micro Stress Doses' - those individual portions of stress we encounter moment to moment, and our 'Macro Stress Doses' - those big adverse life events that can have long-lasting impact; Dr Chatterjee will take you on a journey to regain control over your stress, rather than it having control over you. Introducing a new way of thinking about health, The Stress Solution will help you to live a happier, more fulfilling and stress-free life.
