I learned several lessons during this activity, some of which are listed below.
- Learners should always be provided with a clear description of the behaviours that are expected of them and the results or consequences of following these behaviours.
- Teachers will have to implement strategies to effectively manage learner behaviour in the classroom.
- Teachers must offer praise and encouragement regularly.
- Teachers will need to monitor learners' progress in order to determine the effectiveness of reinforcement on learners' behaviour.
- Teachers should model the behaviours that they expect children to display.
- However, I think that the quote below best summarizes the most powerful lesson that I learned during this activity which is, that children learn what they live.
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy. If a child lives with jealously, he learns to feel guilty. If a child lives with impropriety, he learns to feel shame. If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient. If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence. If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate. If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice. If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith. If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself. If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world. With what is your child living? Author: Dorothy Law Neite
