One in four secondary schools now leave only 35 minutes or less for lunch. Schools have been shortening breaks to create more time for learning. Funding cuts and a bid to tackle bad behavior may also have contributed. Academics argue that children do not have enough time to socialize or exercise, which is important for the mental and physical health of children. Comparing data from 1,133 primary and secondary schools in 2017 with data collected in 2006 and 1995, researchers looked at how school breaks and young people’s social lives have changed. Children ages 5 to 7 have 45 minutes less break time per week than children of the same age in 1995. Meanwhile, students ages 11 to 16 have 65 minutes less than two decades ago. The study also revealed that children are now only half as likely to meet up with friends and peers in person outside of school as in 2006. Three-fifths of the schools that responded to the survey reported withholding breaks from children when they or their classmates have misbehaved or failed to complete work. Primaryage children in Britain are also losing the freedom to play independently and typically are not are allowed to play outside on their own until two years older than their parents’ generation were. While their parents were allowed to play outside unsupervised by the age of 9, on average, today’s children are 11 by the time they reach the same milestone. Researchers say that not enough adventurous play could affect children’s long-term physical and mental health. Although this is a British study, school personnel are reporting similar reductions in breaks in U.S. schools and increased hesitancy to allow children to play outdoors without parents present. Compiled by Carol Westby Do you have any roles or identities that concern you as a physical creature? Do you have concerns about how your body looks or how it works? Some of our physical identities include things that are important to us. Are there any possessions or things that mean a lot to you and tell people who you are? 7. Future selves: The roles and positions I want to have in the future. Part of who you are now may be what you want in the future. We call these future roles and positions, “possible selves.” Are there any future possible selves that are important to how you think about yourself now? Please consider future educational, occupational, and family roles (some examples: future truck driver, married, game designer, future homeowner). List up to five roles and positions you would like to have in the future. 8. The less desirable side of me: Taking into consideration all aspects of your life (school, personal and family relationships, work, etc.), list up to five components of yourself that you are not happy with, not proud of, or would like to change.

Westby","doi":"10.1177/10483950211049638","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/10483950211049638","url":null,"abstract":"Critical thinking skills play an important role in the moral development of adolescents. They must analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information gathered from their interactions with others. They must effectively argue, justify, and reflect on their own personal opinions and motivations as they make decisions, impacting on their sense of decision-making responsibilities. Although there is recognition of the importance of critical thinking skills in moral development and learning (Paul, 1993), investigation into the language skills required to competently express one’s thinking and reasoning has received limited attention. The few studies that have focused on language and critical thinking have reported specifically on syntactic aspects (Nippold et al., 2014, 2015). To address this gap between language, thinking, and knowledge, the authors of this article investigate the language used in critical thinking through adolescents’ responses on a task of moral reasoning. Syntactic development in adolescence is characterized by longer and more grammatically complex sentences with greater use of dependent clauses (Heilmann & Malone, 2014; Nippold, 2016). Through the increased use of subordinate clauses, adolescents are able to express more complex ideas. There is an interplay between cognitive and language processes in the adolescent years that supports growth in critical thinking. Semantically, adolescent language growth involves literate language, including the use and understanding of mental state verbs, abstract nouns, and adverbial conjunctions (Nippold et al., 2017). The increasing command of mental state verbs or metacognitive verbs (such as believe, realize, and remember) allows the adolescent to describe and reflect on another’s thoughts and viewpoint.

This can significantly impact social interactions, daily activities, and academic progress. Although there is literature providing a rationale for targeting word learning in such children, there is little evidence for the effectiveness of specific interventions in this area for children with identified DLD and particularly for older children. The purpose of this study was to establish whether direct one-to-one intervention for children with DLD over 9 years of age leads to improved abilities to identify, comprehend, define, and use nouns and verbs targeted in intervention compared with non-targeted control items and whether the participants’ rating of their own knowledge of the words changes with intervention.","PeriodicalId":39491,"journal":{"name":"Word of Mouth","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46048592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
