It is also called the "take-control" approach to teaching, as the teacher controls their classroom in a firm but positive manner. This theory requires teachers to be assertive rather than passive or hostile(teachercontrolled).
The teacher creates a set of behaviour rules for the class and a set of negative consequences that result if the rules are not followed. Example: Persistent use of first-language
establish a set of class rules and develop a penalty system for when they use their first-language
GOALS/OBJECTIVES
To allow teachers to engage students in the learning process uninterrupted by students misbehaviour(eg: overly dependent on teacher, does not show interest in learning English) To help teachers become the captains of their classrooms and positively influence their students' behaviour.
APPROACHES/STRATEGIES
Decide which rules (4 or 5 are best) you wish to implement in your classroom.
Raise up their hands when answering the question, do not disturb others, speak in English, be quiet when teacher is speaking
List the rules on the board along with the positive and negative consequences. Have the students write the rules and take them home to be signed by the parents and returned.
Strengths Foundation of mutual trust and positive relationships with students and earn their respect Develop good class control Student expectations are clearly stated Rules and limitations are also clearly stated
Weaknesses Theories will not work without positive relationships and respect from teacher and students. Teaching style may not fit the needs of all students Can be a bad way to start off the year Teachers can become over controlling
Strengths
No interruption from students during teaching & learning session. Simple and well-structured plan. Teachers are in power to control the students.
Weaknesses
Minimal students interaction. Limited to three types of teacher. This approach fails to promote self-direction in students. Students are not allowed to give ideas.
Strengths Punishment will make students avoid breaking rules and positive reinforcement will encourage good behaviour. Positive, caring, and productive classroom environment
Weaknesses
The practice of warning students by putting their names on the board may entice some students to misbehave who otherwise would not. Negative consequences or punishment stimulates rebellion and promotes the very behavior it is designed to eliminate.
DISCIPLINE
Start Being Consistent With Discipline and Classroom Routine - Set an example and start discipline from the beginning. - Be firm in classroom management. - E.g : Make Learn A Word A Day as a class routine.
ESTABLISH
Familiarise students with the plan - Explain why rules & consequences are needed, teach and review the rules frequently - E.g : Always remind and encourage students to use English.
CONSISTENT
Develop a consistent rules & procedures
BALANCE
Maintain a careful balance between penalties for misbehaviours/ errors and positive reinforcement
Establishing Rewards Social reinforces words, smiles, praises Positive notes Special awards/ privileges
Establishing Consequences
DONT BE BIASED!
Avoid showing favoritism towards particular students.
Maria is quite docile in class. She does little socializing with other students and rarely show interest in learning English. She is physically present but makes little effort or contribution in learning and using English.
