  2. Four Levels of Development Typical Behavior • Primary Grades (ages 5-8) • Ready to learn--Preoperational stage ( Jean Piaget) Reason on impressions they obtain, not logic • At age 7, children begin to mature • 2nd grade-- students readily raise hands, stand in line, and wait patiently • Intermediate Grades (ages 9-11) • Become more independent--still want attention/affection from teachers • Highly argumentative, loud ( same attitude toward teacher) • Group play • Recognize rules and rule enforcement • Understanding of right/wrong (still developing concept)

  3. Middle School Grades (ages 12-14) • Behavior is more diverse • Bodily changes • Crave adult support, yet want independence--causes many conflicts with adults • Rebellious • Respect/affection for teachers (Teachers who show understanding/helpfulness) • Thinking about thought • High School Grades (ages 15-18) • Greater ability for deeper thinking • Rules/laws seem unfair or irrelevant • See various points of view • Toward end of high school--emotionally more stable

  4. Basic Needs • Abraham Maslow--Psychologist (1954) • Certain basic needs of children • “lower-order” needs--survival • “higher-order” needs--creativity • Must reach “lower-order” needs first* • Educators can help with basic needs by removing all threat in the classroom, promoting student involvement, and assign meaningful tasks * Discuss desired behavior and certain needs that are the same for everyone in the class to your students*

  5. Students Do Better When… • A friendly, interesting, helpful, supportive teacher • Enjoyable classmate interaction • Learning interesting, worthwhile topics • Opportunity for success and accomplishment • Attention to student’s accomplishments and improvements

  6. Try to Avoid… • Students sitting still for long periods of time • Keeping quiet for long periods of time • Solitary work • Confusion why a topic is being taught • Students memorizing random facts for tests • Doing repetitive work • Students having little or no choice in activitiesor assignments • Students not knowing how to improve

  7. Teaching Beliefs • Stem from Judeo-Christian ethics; capitalistic view • Focus on: • Time orientation • Relations with others • Personal achievement and competition • Opportunity/success • Personal behavior • Personal beliefs/beliefs of students may conflict with expectations from school • Different cultures/traditions

  8. Knowing Your Students • “Economically disadvantaged”--living in poverty Hidden rules Poverty impedes student success in school Informal speech contrasts formal style of school and business • Knowing student’s background Teachers should be called on to reflect on their own beliefs--may have hidden prejudices Keep family members informed about child’s performance

  9. Personal/Environmental FactorsPromoting Misbehavior • Unmet needs • Thwarted desires • Expediency • Urge to transgress • Temptation • Inappropriate habits • Poor behavior choices • Avoidance • Egocentric personality • Neurological-based behavior (NBB) * Chapter gives suggestions with each factor promoting misbehavior*

  10. Causing Misbehavior Within Student Population • Provocation- students creating misbehavior through teasing, petty annoyance, put-downs, and sarcastic remarks to other students • Contagious group behavior-Peer pressure, resulting misbehavior in ways that are out of character if by themselves

  11. Causing Misbehavior in Learning Environments • Physical discomfort--restlessness caused by inappropriate temperature, lack of lighting, nonconducive workspaces or seating situations • Tedium--fidgeting during direct instruction; especially if topic lacks interest • Meaninglessness--working on topics students do not comprehend or in which they see no purpose • Lack of stimulation--Topic/learning environment seems unattractive and is not stimulating

  12. Teacher Misbehavior • Poor habits • Unfamiliarity with better techniques • Presenting poor models of behavior • Showing little interest in or appreciation for students • Succumbing to personal frustration • Reacting badly to provocation • Providing ineffective guidance and feedback • Using ineffective personal communication • Failure to plan proactively • Using coercion, threat, and punishment

  13. Overall Feelings • Chapter outlines key problems to look at and changes that affect classroom learning and teaching • Gives suggestions how to solve certain problems
