psychopathology of learners in classroom education Today, 12:32 PM describing challenges of inclusive classrooms and understanding psychopath learners in order to accomodate them in classroom education

1. COMMUNICATE CURATED
CONTENT
This presentation demostrates the ability to use curation to design learning using
communication tools

2. Curated content- expands and enhance
knowledge
 Curation definition-I selected, organized and presented online information to teach
and share my views of psychopathology in schools.
 This project allowed me to gather data together, assess authensity,analse
facts,apply reality facts,envistigate evidence and sources, discuss findings and draw
conclusion.
 I also commented on research work done by other academics and used
infographic,images,website links to roundup my curated contents

3. Psychopathology is linked with cognitive dysfunctioning which may cause deviant and distress to learners in such a manner that
they may attempts to respond in their unpleasant situation or feeling by becoming a danger to themselves or others (suicidal or
bully). That why we have theorist who evaluated this subject by giving 4 ds classes of abnormal behavior.According to my school
experience symptoms I observed in school visit includes less memory,forgetfulness,learning difficulty,low IQ than normal,ADHD
and epilepsy.
So,according to specialist in cognitive functioning explains the term of psychopathology as mental disorder. They put emphasis on
mental illness. I agree,however,looking at this definition it is limiting because psychopathology can be experienced in different
factors such as senses not brain only
Collected data
Psychopathology on learners in a classroom education

4. psychopathology
 It includes emotional state,thinking patterns and behavioral personality.
 This means that ‘how we feel=depression’
 How we think=chemical imbalance=delusions
 How we behave=aggressive
 That is why I'm not convinced that it is our abnormal mental state that contributes
to psychopathology.

5. My view of psychopathology definition
 It is found in the Greek history that the word psychopathology means suffering
soul. I highly agree, imagining a suffering soul has no normality's and peace it is
always questionable and have no answers. Theorists and philosophers like Plato
support this viewpoint as they have proven that the mind,spirit,bodyand soul work
together simaltenously. I BELIEVE THAT THE SOUL IS UNOBSERVABLE AND
UNTOUCHABLE BUT IT CONTROLS MOST SENSES.
 If the soul is suffering and unstable the abnormal behavior occurs and there is no
harmony.
 I find out that The old era people were more religious based and belief in evil spirit
possessing a soul.Im not sure how evil acts expain abnormal behavior, how about
crazy or insane people roaming around the streets and eating from dustbins like
animals without taking a bath. Is that a normal human behavior,ofcourse not it is
mental illness not evil spitrit.

6. Hippocrates theories
 Raised an important and powerful insight to observe the mind for answers.
 His views influenced mental illness research in a number of ways. It is now known
as a scientism study of cognitive behavior to move away from religious-based bias
that can not be proven to be true facts.
 Taking a look at the contribution of modern psychiatrist helped at developing
models,interventions,theories,manuals,and diagnosis criteria that fits individual’s
symptoms rather than forcing the theory to explain the illness.

7. Hippocrates work
 Focused mainly on internal causes of abnormal behavior which can be linked with
suffering of the soulto understand cognitive abnormalities.Furthermore,his work
also influenced the work of Maddux and Winstead (2005) as they argue the fact of
social impact ,gender, culture and environment as contributors to mental illness.
They stated that “most of us think of psychopathology as a behavior and
experience that are not just statistical abnormal but also maladaptive…It refers to
statistical norms and deviations but to the effectiveness or inefectivenessfor the
person.If the behavior helps the person deal with challenges and cope with stress
and accomplish their goals then we say the behavior is more or less adaptive. If the
behavior does not help in these ways or if the behavior makes the situation worse,
we say it is more or less maladaptive”.

contemporary-understanding

8. My comment
 This statement demonstrates that there’s no one with an explicit correct knowledge
to correct symptoms we just have to try appealing criteria.
 For example there are behaviors that are considered as mental illness by experts,
specialist and theorists, which I believe that they are inability to control involuntary
and internal behavioral personaliy.For instance,taken from teachers standpoint, a
learner suffering from ADHD known as disorder I don’t agree I think its of having
short-span to pay attention which has to do with personality. A psychologist in
Boston approves with me as he classifies ADHD as a medical disorder and learning
disability but not a mental illness

9. Treatment
 Many treatment were established to understand and cure mental illness as a
disorder.
 CBT (Cognitive and behavioral therapy)is one the treatment suggested by pioneer
and psychoanalysis Freud Sigmund
 Freud further investigated mental disorders and grew interest in treatment
approaches as he introduced psychotherapy (A first clinical method of treating a
patient through talking therapy).I recommend that this approach can be
implemented in schools as learners may be able to deal with many issues if they
open up about their experiences or something bothering them.

10. Beck A.T theory
 Preferably in school environment is Aaron T Beck’s theory because it assess all parts
involved in mental illness.
 Specialist and doctors that can make mental illness diagnosis include psychiatrist,
neurologist and psychologist.

11. Modern researched work
 In German the modern psychiatrist like Emil Kraepelin follow the DSM (Disorder
and statistical manual) to classify mental disorder and link the criterion.

12. How can we treat mental illness in schools
without isolating learners
 It was found that abnormal cognitive patterns are a cause factor of mental illness
by many reseachers.As a practicing teacher I can also suggest theory approach to
deal with learners with mental disorder as I observe,assess,follow uo,envistigate
and involve a suffering learner through communication to draw a hypothesis and
intervention programs.Alternatively,referral to special school,accommodation
diversity through the use of adaptive, modern and flexible resources. In addition,
offer psychological support services such as group support.Psychopathtic
learnersare not mentally ill because they don’t exhibit crazy person behaviors but
rather an inability to to use their mental schemas.They might be unable to solve
problems,think critical, but be creative.These learners are more of practical then
thinking personality. Mental pain may cause affect/mood disorder and
schizophrenia.

13. Statistics in SA
 characteristics of the children and their families are given in Table 1. The sample of
355 consisted of a majority of children from English-speaking families and only
13% from Xhosa-speaking families. Social class was determined by occupation
grading of the breadwinner. Thirty-three were from social class I families
(professional/managerial), 90 from social class II (intermediate), 110 from social
class III (skilled worker, both manual and non-manual), 55 from social class IV
(semiskilled labourer) and 65 from social class V families (unskilled
labourer/unemployed). One-third of the children were in the mild category of ID
and slightly more were in the moderate category. Cerebral palsy was an additional
complication in 120 (34%) of cases and epilepsy in 84 (24%). Sixty-two (18%)
children were non-ambulant and 89 (24%) had no speech

18. conclusion
 Well in conclusion, I think Psychopathology is part of personal development in
certain stages of human developmental and finding ways to respond to the current
environment to create harmony and understanding of their world. It is seen as
unacceptable behavior but the fact is it is free soul expressions. For instance just
because bushmen live on by hunting like animals and have no clothes doesn’t
mean they have mental disorder because it is seen as a barbaric behavior in the city
town.
