Personal Reflective Diary Analysis

366 Words2 Pages

Reflective Diary: Appendix 1 is taken from my personal reflective diary which I wrote at the start of the PGCE course. At this stage of writing, I had not started my teaching placement so my understanding of behaviour management was still novice. My knowledge had broadened on many other topics that are pivotal to teaching, however, behaviour management had not yet been discussed. This reflection followed from a group discussion with friends and a one on one chat with my AT on my anxieties on manging behaviour in class. This reflection marks a fundamental moment in my thinking as I was becoming mindful that the process of developing as a practitioner would entail me to critically analyse my own previous experiences and beliefs. I had come to believe that one teachers anxieties would be relevant to everyone, I was informed this was not true. However, after this discussion with …show more content…

Reflecting on the discussion, I had learnt to use negatives in a situation and examine why it was negative and how I can use my past experiences to develop my pedagogy. This entry highlights that I had realised the importance of talking with a more knowledgeable and reflecting through the discussion and after. Documenting this in a reflective diary shows how I went through the procedure of letting my formerly held values and assumptions to be questioned by another professional. I was open-minded on other views, particularly as they were from people who I valued and knew were knowledgeable and my discussions allowed me to reflect further on the topic of behaviour management. I had time to reflect independently and I started to develop my own opinion. This reflective diary illustrates that I have begun to develop my reflections by critically analysing my beliefs and thinking about what is best for students in my class. I became aware that my beliefs were biased due to my previous experiences. This is a practice I sustained throughout the year as I continued examining my own

    One of the most prevalent ethical issue associated with reflective practice is that of confidentiality, although no names are revealed when reflection takes place, it can be questioned as to whether the interactions we have with patients should be used to help further our professional development (Hargreaves J. 1997). Reflection and reflective practice also have professional implications as it increases the student’s vulnerability as they are recounting events which could have caused them distress in the past as reflection itself is a process which requires the individual to reveal the minute details of how an event made them feel, therefore it is vital that people who are undergoing this process have the support that they require (Cleary M. et. al. 2013). Knight K. et. al (2010) argue that not only do students need this supervision, reflective practice groups should be favoured as they give the students more support, not only from their supervisor but also their peers who could be going through the same

    Kohn argues that using ‘lures for learning’ can result in students experiencing anxiety (1993, p.8). Also in special education settings students are possibly subjected to ‘Skinnerian manipulation’ (1993, p. 8). This highlights the role of criticality in classroom management and the importance of teasing out underlying assumptions through reflection (Brookfield, 1995). It raises ethical awareness to the behaviourist choices we make as teachers as we ought to recognise that we are not looking to alter the personality of young students through behaviourist techniques, but rather reduce anti-social behaviours. Contrary to this, in Kohn’s view, behaviourist teaching is seen as a ‘controlling’ technique and as a way to increase learning performance.

  • The Disadvantages Of The Behaviourist Approach In Education

    1025 Words  | 5 Pages

    While the behaviourist approach can be used to explain simple tasks, it becomes much more problematic in the learning process when tasks and objectives become more complex, such as with higher education. Even though behaviourism has had a major impact on the education in the western world, some critics highlighted the theory’s limitations by stating it was merely a scientific model that has been tested in a laboratory under specific test conditions, and how humans have a higher cognitive process than animals. They also found the theory to be dehumanising and unethical, not to mention that there was no consideration to the humans’ thought complexity compared to animals. A possible problem in relation to teachers utilising behavioural strategies in the classroom, such as praise or time-out, is the potential for haphazard, inconsistent and incorrect implementation (Angela M O’Donnell 2012, p
