Classroom behaviours 3
PRIMARY CAUSES OF BEHAVIOUR:
REVENGE
- There are some learners who find their places by being disliked, feared, or hated.
- Failure has made them give up trying to gain attention or power via socially acceptable methods.
- Unfortunately, they find personal satisfaction in being mean, vicious, and violent. The purpose of their misbehaviour is revenge. They are also the learners who write on desks, assault classmates, threaten younger learners, cause constant controversy, write on toilet walls, and damage others' personal property.
- If you have learners who fall into misbehaviour because they are seeking revenge, realize that only appropriate success will change them.
NEEDS BEING REVEALED:
Feeling a lot of personal pain or anguish. - To have control over one's own and/or other people's lives.
- To gain authority, responsibility.
- To have certain rights and privileges.
Students who have these needs are easy to identify: they fight decisions, want a title, authority and/or responsibility, as well as the rewards that accompany these positions. They speak out during class, like to have the final say, often think they ‘know it all’.
