Sam 16 years old, he is a 10th grade student. As a teenage boy who love all about cars and video games. Sam is always thinking about when he will have a driver license. Sam never thinks about his education or even his greed. Sam always wastes his time playing video and watching race cars more than studying his homework. I will try to persuade the teenage boy to spend less time playing video games and focus more on school and work without incurring lasting resentment by four different ways. First of all, I will use positive reinforcement to change his behavior. I start to talk to Sam about how education is important. Education helps us build opinions and has points of view on things in life. Also, how education is the process of gaining …show more content…
Sam starts to spend more time studying to avoid cutting the grass. Now every time Sam wants to escape cutting the grass; he will spend more time studying.
positive punishment, Sam forget to study for the math test, so the day of the math test he can 't answers any math problem,and he has failed in the math test. I give him a double worksheet to improve his math grade. Sam has learned every time he 's not studying for the test I will double his work. Negative punishment, Sam always waste his time playing video games, and forget to finish his school work, so he get bad grades. Because Sam had a bad grade on the most of his assignment, I took away his video games and he is not allowed to use my car for two weeks. I prefer that positive reinforcement style to manage and change Sam 's behavior. Because teenager needs someone who can explain to them what is good and bad for their life. A teenager needs parents who are strict and warm; parents demand mature behavior, but use reason rather than force in disciplining. I believe that once teenager feels how their parents do care about them, they will change their behavior automatically from bad to good
Whether it was in school, the classroom or the home environment students with disabilities may exhibit various behavioral problems. Occasionally, these behaviors are hostile, aggressive, and disruptive and may impede learning for the ones who display such behaviors as well as others. It often a challenge to deliver a lesson or maintain control of the class due to the fact that teacher may not have sufficient knowledge on how to manage these types of behaviors. In “When the Chips are Down” Richard Lavoie give helpful advice that emphasizes on dealing with behavioral issues in a successful manner and also how these problems can be anticipated before they start.
After completing the “Cooperative Discipline” course through the Regional Training Center, I am planning on revising my behavioral management techniques to follow the cooperative discipline model in my eighth grade English classroom. The cooperative discipline, or the hands-joined style, is a more appropriate approach to managing behaviors in my classroom than the hands-off or hands-on styles. With the hands-off style, there is too much freedom and not enough structure in the classroom, and with the hands-on style, defiant students are likely to rebel against the teacher’s strict rules. However, with the hands-joined style, “students are included in the decision-making process and therefore are strongly influenced to develop responsibility and choose cooperative behavior” (Albert, 2012). When students are provided with clear expectations but are still part of the decision-making process, they are more likely to behave appropriately in the classroom.
I am tired of living in total fear that my school, town, or any other public place will be the new breaking news of a shooting. No person right in the head will go around shooting up a school or anywhere else because they were angry at the people there. If we want to actually do something other than cry we need to know the first step in how these things happen. 1)person makes plan 2)person buys gun 3)peruses plan. We may no be able to stop a person thought process but we can sure as heck change how someone messed up enough to kill people to buy a gun. There is no reason for those type of people to be aloud to. How am I supposed to go to school and leave my house without thinking "wow, this could be it". Today I walked out of school to see police
This was a very informative article. I was unaware of all the deaths in result of gun violence. I didn’t realize that people who worked for the government or who was in congress were often targets. In order to fully get rid of gun violence in schools, each and every school should have metal detectors that can detect weapons and always have security guards on duty. By doing this, parents are more comfortable with sending their students off to school. Taking this step in every school around the world would definitely cost lots of money but it will honestly be worth it. After all the school shooting we’ve heard about, we’d definitely be saving plenty of lives just in case an incident does happen. I went to highschool in a rough neighborhood and
When discipline is used correctly it can help guide somebody develop socially acceptable patterns of behavior. Discipline also teaches people about their mistakes, how to problem solve, and deal with their emotions in a correct way. Punishment is when the person who gives out the discipline, feels like the one being discipline has given a negative response to the discipline. Punishment c...
The teaching technique used in intervention is behavior modification, it is known that people learn because they are rewarded by others or their environment Albert Bandura (1977). People’s actions are shaped by input from others, including feedback and reinforcement. Behavior modification takes place through three step process, antecedent (task explanation, model, cue) is provided, response is then elicited and a consequence (feedback, reinforcement) occurs immediately.
But life is not a fairytale. Standing there lonely, having no job is our Sammy. This is when Sam realizes his path, the true way to become mature. The moment when “Lengel sighs and begins to look very patient:” Sammy, you don’t want to do this to your mom and dad” (Updike) hold him back a little bit, we can feel the regret in his heart. But he cannot go back anymore, decision has been made. He gives up his last chance; from now on, he’s on his own. Sammy finally understands that it is responsible behavior but not playing “adult-like” game that will make him a true
Both students were close to repeating the third grade and have serious behavior problem displayed in the classroom and at home. A PBS plan was created as an intervention to get these students back on track in the classroom. The goals were to prevent aggressive and distracting behaviors in the classroom that was impeding their education. The methods used in their PBS plan were self-monitoring, teacher and peer mediated support, and positive reinforcement (Lynnette, Young, & Marchant, 2004). The positive reinforcement used most often was praise for appropriate behaviors and a token economy system administrated by teachers and paraprofessionals that interacted with the students (Lynnette, Young, & Marchant, 2004). The result of the plan was an immediate improvement in their socially appropriate classroom behavior. This was measured by comparing their behavior in a sample of same-aged student evaluated by their teachers (Lynnette, Young, & Marchant, 2004). All in all, the researcher found a major difference in the two student’s behavior in the classroom that lead to them improving
In general, a consequence is called a reinforce if it strengthens the behavior that led to it, and it is a punisher if it weakens that behavior. The use of punishment has several negative side effects including the risk of causing serious physical harm, inducing fear or hostility (the child might develop a fear of all dogs after being bitten), and the failure to learn the correct response in the particular situation (Carlson & Buskist, 1997). A form of punishment to consider is removal of an important stimulus such as the removal of social media. Removing a teen from interactive activity is considered the punishment.
There are different ways that a teacher can deal with a student’s undesirable behavior. Some of these strategies are: positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment or extinction. The type of r...
... behaviors. It is important not focus on the past so I will encourage the student to bring their homework with them in the future. I will instead focus on the positive goals that I have set with the student. This will encourage future positive behavior.
My fundamental beliefs are that adults and children should have respect for one another treating people as individuals. I believe that we should model a sense of understanding, encouragement, trust, teamwork, and perseverance in all who we come in contact with. I believe that everyone has should have the opportunity to learn in a environment that is positive and encouraging. Recognizing my fundamental beliefs I know that in the Skinner-Rogers’ dichotomy that I fall on the Rogerian side of the scale. My beliefs are consistent with that of Rogers. I am also in favor of referent power and I would like to work with the students as an interactionalist. With all of these frameworks in mind I looked at a program that most fit my beliefs and frameworks. I believe that I can initiate the program of Glasser and use it effectively in my teaching situation. Many schools and programs regularly go through a process whereby they attempt to develop a new philosophical base and a different practical approach to working with students. Jones (1987) estimated that 80% of disruptive behavior is talking to each other, 15% out of seat, the remaining 5% is spent on note passing, playing with pencils or objects. The cost of student failure is absorbed. If we are losing 30 to 50% of our time keeping on task as a result of small disruptions, I would say to you that no other problem costs you 30 to 50% of your entire school budget. In keeping this in mind, I would propose that our middle school take a look at a program developed by Dr. William Glasser, M.D. His model is consistent with my own beliefs and would fulfill the vision that our school has developed. Integrated in Dr. Glasser’s model are Choice Theory (previously termed Control Theory), Reality Therapy, and the Quality School. Choice Therapy is an explanation of behavior, Reality Therapy is a process allowing Choice Therapy principles to be operationalized, and the Quality Schools represent the application of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy ideas in Education. William Glasser’s model involves the initiation of what he calls quality schools. Glasser (1992) contends that we must offer students an education that they can see will satisfy both their immediate and future needs. Students can only learn if they view their schools as a place that is at least potentially need satisfying. If students do not perceive what we are offer...
too little or too much physical punishment that may increase the probability of aggressive behaviour in
The definition of punishment is “a penalty inflicted for an offense, fault, etc.”. However, there are many forms of punishment. One type of punishment is “logical consequences, this technique is similar to natural consequences but involves describing to your child what the consequences will be for unacceptable behavior. The consequence is directly linked to the behavior. For example, you tell your child that if he doesn't pick up his toys, then those toys will be removed for a week” (Benaroch), taking away privileges, time outs, and corporal punishment or spanking.
However, this is incorrect. Natural and logical consequences can be more effective than lectures and other kinds of punishment[5]. A natural consequence would be this; if a child plays with their toys roughly, and smashes one, then they no longer have that toy. Provided the child is not too young to understand what happened and can use logic, they will understand that playing roughly with toys will result in not having the toy anymore. Logical consequences are when a parent creates a punishment to an action which attempts to mimic a natural consequence[5]. If a child is playing with their parent’s phone roughly, letting them smash it is not a good way to teach them a lesson. In this case, a logical consequence would be to take the phone, and explain that if they continue to act this way, they might break the phone. This acts the same way as a natural consequence[1], the child learns that playing roughly with an item results in them not being able to use the phone anymore. An authoritarian parent would have a different response to the above situations, they would give the child a lecture. In both cases, the child would likely cease to play roughly, but the child of the authoritarian parent would only stop because they fear another lecture. The child of the permissive parent would stop because they understand the consequences of their
