      I think this site could be extremely useful to my project because whether or not interracial marriage is biblical could play a part in the age aspect of our study. For instance, a very religious and conservative woman may not feel the same way on the subject as a less religious teen.  I think points of view on interracial relationships could be linked to religious support.

These skills – in which a child learns visually, by thinking in pictures and images – are considered the “training wheels” for performance in science, technology, engineering and math.

      This page could be really useful because it speaks of the different factors that can CAUSE a child/teenager to be pressured by peers. It explains how the way of upbringing a child is a crucial aspect. The environment is also very important.
    • Daryl Bambic
      Daryl Bambic on 07 Oct 10
       
      You need to include some highlights of the most important ideas on the page.
  • First of all, a child need not get pressurized by their peers. If they are cool, if they are confident and if they are sure of themselves, they will not break and crack under pressure. This comes only from healthy upbringing. A child starts to think that their friends are better if they were constantly compared to others by their own parents. Also, children with older siblings, who are bullies, can fall under peer pressure.
    • Catherine Delisle
      Catherine Delisle on 07 Oct 10
       
      This section of the text is very interesting because it says that the upbringing of a child is a crucial aspect. Their parents behaviour is also very important to the way they will respond to peer pressures. Their relationships with their families are very important.
  • A child's low self confidence and low self esteem are the biggest reasons for coming under peer pressure. Another common reason is if the parent is extremely strict, then the child may find the constant urge to do something wrong. However, all roads lead to the parents' way of upbringing. The environment at home has a big impact on children. Though for a teenager their friends have a bigger impact on them than the parents, it is the parents who have set the foundation.
    • Catherine Delisle
      Catherine Delisle on 07 Oct 10
       
      This section explains the importance of a high self esteem in a child/teenager. Also, it speeks of the role parents play in the development of character in children/teens. There is an aspect of rivalry that teenagers have; the stricter the parent, the more the teen contradicts them.

Music Enhances Academic Excellence - 1 views

music enhances academic brain effects

shared by Frankie Ferreira on 25 Oct 10 - No Cached
  • Musicians achieve a higher grade point average (GPA) than non-musicians in the same school do. Music students achieve higher ACT scores and other college entrance exam scores. In a recent study, 66% of music majors who apply to medical school are accepted, the highest percentage of any group. Only 44% of biochemistry majors are admitted. Findings indicate that music study uniquely enhances higher brain functions required for reading, mathematics, chess, science and engineering.
  • Music training enhances reading skills.  A study done with 1st grade children shows significantly higher reading scores with children receiving piano/music instruction than did the control group. (Hurwitz, I., Wolff, P.H., Bortnick, B.D. & Kokas, K. 1975) Music training dramatically enhances children’s abstract reasoning skills necessary for math and science.  A study with 3 and 4 year-olds indicated that children who received piano/keyboard training performed 34% higher on tests measuring spatial-temporal ability than the non-musical group. These findings indicate that music uniquely enhances higher brain functions required for mathematics, chess, science and engineering. (Psychologist Dr. Frances Rauscher of the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh and physicist Dr. Gordon Shaw of the University of California at Irvine in 1994)
  • Music training increases intelligence.  Scores on a puzzle task, designed to measure spatial reasoning ability, increased significantly during the period they (three and four-year-olds) received the music lessons. In a research report, ‘Music Increases Intelligence Report,’ Dr Shaw said the piano was the instrument of choice because its keyboard gave the children both a linear and audible representation of the relationship between sounds. "What this means for parents is that they should consider giving their children piano lessons as early as age three or four," said Shaw. (College of Computing, Georgia Tech, August 24, 1994. UCI Journal, Spring 1997) Music enhances learning and creativity.  In another research test involving four and five-year olds, the effects of music on learning and creativity was measured. After twenty days of training, the music/dance group showed the greatest improvement in learning about body parts and creativity. (Mohanty, B. & Hejmadi, A. (1992). Effects Of Intervention Training on Some Cognitive Abilities of Preschool Children. Psychological Studies, 37, 31-37.)
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Music training enhances a brain function that dies away.  Studies show that early experiences of childhood determine which brain cells (neurons) will connect with other brain cells, and which ones will die away. Because neural connections are responsible for all types of intelligence, a child’s brain develops to its full potential only with exposure to the necessary music enriching experiences in early childhood. (Music Beats Computers at Enhancing Early Childhood Development, American Music Conference via PR NEWSWIRE: Neurological Research, February 1997)
  • Music achieves non-musical positive effects.  It has been shown that children develop faster socially, mentally, and even physically when exposed to music in their early childhood. "Thus, it appears that music studied for good and sufficient reasons for its own sake has beneficial ‘side effects’ on cognition." (Rausher, F.H.,Shaw G.I., Levine, L.J., Ky, K.N. & Wright, E.I. Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Society, Los Angeles, CA., August 13, 1994.)

    This article states a bunch of facts that they say are true, about how music really enhances academic excellence. It is than furthermore proven by showing multiple studies done in various years, all clearly proving how our academic success is greatly influenced by music.
