In accordance with the first draft I have written about my observation, I would suggest the teacher to minimize her explanation of the lessons and plan and engage the children to learn to think critically and creatively in order to understand the content through different hand on tasks. As I believe, we teachers need to give the chance to the children to think and answer the questions as well. If the teacher plays the vital role in the class, student would find boring to stay still and passively listen to some one. This may create behavioural issues as well. This can be minimized if the teacher plans the lessons and focus more on student centered learning in accordance with the theory “constructivism”.

His behaviour was disruptive for the other children in the same group. The teacher has handled the kid in a way that he has completed his tasks as the teacher has assigned him a task to act as a leader. He was asked to complete his work and collect the working sheets from the other groups. After that he was given a paper to read on magnet and magnetic force which make the student complete his work and fulfills what he wished to find out. This is the reason the involvement of the children are important in teaching and learning.
In this observation I have found out that children were reminded of their regular routines or the classroom rules. So they need to follow them. By reminding children to follow certain rules create less chances of causing or arising behavioural issues.
As they follow their classroom rules, as I have observed that the prayer time fell during their snack time and most of the students rushed to do their ablution and do their prayer as soon as they had their snack. This showed that they are been reminded to follow the rules and those rules are been followed by the children. This behaviour might be copied or imitated as the teacher also prays with the
For example if the teacher asks the children to create a cat from play dough, she should also create her a cat from the play dough and show the class her attempt at making a cat out of the play dough and she will enhance and encourage the learners to create their own because hers is just a mere guideline another example would be if at the beginning of the lesson the teacher says children put on your aprons as we going to do art today, at the same time she is busy putting on her apron. Teacher as a participator The teacher as a participator helps guide the children but not by physically doing their work for them. Children enjoys having an adult’s participation, especially when they feel they stuck or not certain if what they doing is right.
Lastly this part allows the children to learn the correct behaviours in the correct spaces e.g. being respectful and quiet to members of the public during a school trip. The child should also learn to be confident within their
The teacher should make sure that each student is involved in the lesson, ask process questions, open-ended questions, be patient when waiting for answers to these questions, and ultimately never say anything a kid can say. This method is something that I would like to implement in my future classroom. I know that it will take practice and perseverance, but it is something that I know I can
Similar to society’s code of behavior, schools administer to instruct students to engage in proper behavior. In theory rules create a sense order for society to advance and continue to improve on prior generation 's achievements.
If the teacher speaks every time, students won’t learn anything because we are telling them how to solve and work on the word problem. If the students work and we assist them through question, they will understand how to solve the problem. In my first year of teaching, I was talking and giving students everything they needed to know. In this new school year, I will take my students and use the real world activities. For example: Let the students walk around and use the materials to measure the things they see in their campus.
Children are often thought of as loud, disobedient, and rowdy. This causes many parents to want their children to be obedient and disciplined. The developing brains of children are very easily influenced by the opinions of those around them. Ravi Jain’s “What Role Do Discipline and Obedience Play in a Kid’s Life” is an article written for parents in which Jain describes why he believes that discipline is important in a kid’s life. Jain discusses how it is important for youths to be disciplined and taught to obey elders and authorities.
These students will just rely on their inadequacy of knowledge to conform to mediocrity and get sidetracked in their path. This is why the creativity in lesson plans is an essential requirement for any teachers. Textbooks will only bring one perspective to a matter, formulas and definitions will become less exciting if they are only understood in one way. Still, there are teachers that devote their time to excite their students brains on these seemingly boring knowledge, one example of them are the author’s senior English teacher, Mr Jack McFarland. The author
question she would ask her students was to recall the steps to dividing. Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners were provided with YouTube videos displaying the steps of how to divide, counting songs, and worksheets to use during the lesson. In order to have the students fully engaged in the learning the teacher allowed each student to participate in the lesson and allowed them to help each other out when struggling with a question. She also engaged each child to participate on the smart board. Periodically, she did have to remind her students about the rules and the consequences that arise from not following them.
Ghuman captures her way of teaching by describing the teacher being the ““academic” instructor who stood or sat at a distance from” the students, and the students are “asked to refer to instructions written on the board or to listen carefully to what they said” (2009). From being a student myself, I personally do not find learning beneficial when it is simply told to me. Instead of reinforcing the traditional teaching methods, I believe that students need to be active learners. Most people learn best when they are part of the learning process, have a voice in the discussion and can evaluate and reflect on their own learning. Furthermore, I also found it difficult to prepare and lead a lesson that was appropriate for the age group, yet not too difficult.
4.0 An Explanation of Realism, Liberalism, Constructivism and Post-Structuralism. 4.1 Realism Realism or political realism prioritizes national interests and security concerns in addition to moral ideology and social reconstruction. The term is often associated with political power. The term is often associated with political power. Realism believes that the state is the main actor of the most important in determining the direction of a country.
There should only be a minimal amount of rules, they should have easy, positive wording, and should be specific observable behavior (Marchant, 2012). The following literature reviews will show the importance of proactive classroom management through praise and consistent consequences through punishments. It will attempt to show the link between each behavior management technique and a decrease in disruptive
Teachers come into complicated terms trying to distinguish which disruptive behaviors should face consequences and which disruptive behaviors are let loose. However, being biased to one’s own rules and consequences is an ineffective way to manage student behavior. Inadequately managing a student’s behavior through grossly enforcing classroom rules and consequences will not accomplish any consistency with
B. Have pre-established consequences for misbehavior that are well known to the individual. C. Enforce rules in the classroom on a consistent basis. D. Provide encouragement by rewarding more than punishing to build self-esteem. E. Praise immediately after any and all good behavior and performance. F. Change rewards if not effective in motivating behavioral change.
The teacher is also open to listen when the student is questioning his or her idea. All these happening, the students are still able to obey and follow the class rules with appropriate punishments if one breaks it. This type of discipline is the ideal one because it isn’t too strict that the student gets scared
According to Lewis (2009) in his book “Understanding Pupil Behaviour: Classroom Management Techniques For Teachers” mentioned that there are some effects if the teachers don’t know about the students’ characteristics such as stress and Post-Guru Syndrom. Stress happens when they feel unable to maintain an classroom in which students can get on with their work and teachers can teach without unnecessary interruption, it is usually part of failure teacher in managing the classroom misbehavior of students and Post-Guru Syndrom happens when the teachers become inconsistent to implement the appropriate technique in teaching for students and finally
