Locus of Control

In this exercise my score was a 11 stating that I have both external and internal  locus of control. I feel that some of the questions I could have answered one way or the other and been fine because I tend to try to see both sides of a situation. I feel that my personal life is like a balance. I have been know to be the peace maker or Switzerland, because of the fact that I tend to understand every point of view before making a decision or giving advice. This survey was pretty dead on in the fact that I normally lie in the middle when it comes to certain issues. However this is not always the case. I have taken many self diagnostic tests before and not all of them have been accurate. I feel that there are grey areas in these tests because how can one accurately answer a question if they have never been in a certain situation. To further prove my point it in the results that "It is important to understand that all of us will feel less empowered in some circumstances and at particular points of time. Consequently, your survey results are a "snapshot" of this point in time."

Locus of Control is a person's belief about what causes the good or bad results in his life. It can impact students and teachers. Students can feel like they are not any good and begin looking for the negative aspects of their life which leads to an emotional roller coaster. Thus, leading to the unwillingness to try and possible drop out. This is when it really helps to have a teacher that understands will help bring confidence to the students. Likewise it can also happen to a teacher to where the teacher becomes focused on the bad that happens in their life that they become lazy in their teaching techniques, which in turn hurts the students and their education. Either way it impacts more than just the person who is dealing with the emotional/physiological issues. If these issues are known actions can take place to refer the student to a counselor and a teacher to a physiologist or a help group of some kind.   I feel that most people do not want to think that life is bad, but they are accustom to certain ways to look in life by those who influences them. Teachers and students can effectively influence each other in and outside of the classroom which will improve the performance in a learning environment.
