Ways To Overcome Possible Behaviours

General

A good teacher should understand each and every student in a classroom, as it is one of the important ingredient in a classroom management. A good teacher should not only play a role as a teacher, but also as a counselor, mother, father and as good friend too. Moreover, if a teacher plans to conduct an activity, the teacher has to make sure that each and every student is participating in the activity, and no one is being neglected. If the human race wishes to have a prolonged and indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another. Quoted from Winston Churhill. It says that race is an important weapon. A good teacher should make sure that he/she respect equally students from all walks of religious. A teacher should not allow the students to mingle around only with their same races, but to mix them with different religions too.

Logical Model by Dreikurs

1) Emphasizing the importance of the teacher in providing believing and responsibility to students to consistently maintain discipline in the classroom. 2) Emphasizes teachers should identify the cause behavioral problems 3) Pupils should be taught to understand the rules of discipline in the classroom

Example of situation happened to John : 1) John took the opportunity with the absence of the supervisor. John gave the dominance to the students during the P&P lesson. 2) John gives freedom to the students to choose the members of each group during the quiz activity.

Assertive Model by Canter 1) A teacher reacts with the development and the attitude of the student 2) If the students plays a good attitude as the student follows the rules of the teacher in a classroom, then the teacher gives a positive feedbacks to the student. However, if the student reacts in a negative way, then the teacher reacts in a negative actions on the student.

Example of situation happened to John : John does classes for Richard as he disobeys his rules.
