Perception Of Behavior And Misbehavior

Challenging inappropriate behaviour posed by children nowadays is one of the most daunting issued faced by teachers. Few matters affect teachers more directly and persistently than managing classroom behaviour (Jim Docking, 2000). Being able to manage a classroom I found is one of the most fundamental aspects in being able to teach today. Through this critique I will investigate the different studies relating to behaviour management within a classroom, looking pacifically at several behavioural issues within a classroom and where they stem from, as well as looking into studies based on the praise system and how it is used in schools. I want to look at fundamental theorists and give a brief insight into their studies through my own experience and research I have looked into.

Today violence has become an every day experience in life. Playing video games or turning on the television, and flipping through the channels at random, you will most likely stumble upon various forms of violence. Does it desensitize or help us tolerate violence? And the most controversial issue, does it cause violence?

As part of my HNC Social Care I have been asked to complete an extended reflective account about an incident/ pattern of behaviour at my placement for the subject understanding and supporting behaviour. This assessment has to be handed in on the 21st of May 2013. Due to the confidentiality of the young people at Rathbone and the Data Protection Act 1998 I will refer to the particular young person who is involved in the incident as Jack.

Challenging behaviour can be explained through the use of psychological theories, Maslow’s theory, and his hierarchy of needs is based on motivation and that every person is driven to grow into a self-actualised person (Bingham et.al. 2009:86). Maslow’s hierarchy of needs has six stages; Physiological Needs, Safety Needs, Love and Belonging Needs, Self-Esteem Needs, Fulfilment Needs and Self-actualisation. This theory relates to Client X because all her physiological needs are being met through the attention of her carers. Some of her safety needs are being met through safety of family and she has a home, however due to having to take medication every day and being unable to walk without the use of a walking aid is affecting her sufficiently meeting all of her safety needs. This would then cause Client X to display challenging behaviour because she wanted to be more independent and be able to walk without

Initially I define the two concepts of mistaken behavior and misbehavior, the first as error in judgment and action made in the process of learning life skills. Mistaken behaviors occur at three levels experimentation, socially influenced, and strong unmet needs. Teachers who use guidance see democratic life skills as difficult to learn, and they recognize that children are just at the beginning stages of a lifelong process of learning these skills. In the process of learning any difficult skill, children, like all of us, make mistakes. These teachers recognize that when children experiences conflicts it is because they have not yet developed the cognitive and emotional resources for more mature responses. The second Misbehavior. - The conventional term applied to conflicts that the child is involved in, resulting in consequences that often include punishment and the internalization of a negative label such a “naughty”. The complexity of teaching democratic life skills leads some adults to the misconception that young children know how to behave, they just choose to misbehave. When conflicts occur, teacher who focus on misbehavior tend to label the child’s character and attempt to shame the child into better behavior. Because of a lack of development and experience a child may internalize the negative message and act out even more. (Gartrell, 2014).

In this class we’ve learned that both Behavior Theory and Cognitive Behavior Theory both help explain human behavior through an A-B-C model or method. What are the A-B-Cs of Cognitive Behavior Theory?

Descriptions: I am taking the class ECE 226 Observation and Guidance of the Young Child. In this class I am learning to explore various observation techniques and guidance strategies in the early childhood setting. As an Early Childhood Educator, I need to identify child behavior and consider behavior in the context of development. Also, I have to explore environmental influences on behavior such as family, culture and community. In the class ECE 226, I developed a case study “Jack and Jill --and Sam? This case study is about Sam in the Jack and Jill Child Care Center. Sam exhibits some behavioral problems in the child care center. This case study involves dilemma, conflict, or problem that one or more of the characters in the case must negotiate.

At this wrong guidance teachers label children who misbehave calling names such as “naughty” “bad” “mean” “rowdy”, and also punish the child. Teachers who do this practice think that when the child get shame they will be behave good. These negative labels can affect with bad consequences to their behavior. The child will believe that they are the wrong label given.

The purpose of this essay is to outline and evaluate at least three psychological perspectives of human behaviour. The three approaches that will be summarised are humanistic, social learning theory and the Biological approach. They will also be criticised and compared to one another. A brief description on psychology will occur, and there will also be a short summarisation on some key early influences of psychology, from its origins in philosophy.

I also agree that management has to be able to change and grow and continue to listen to any upward communication from the staff. In order to accomplish better communication, management should provide an ‘open-door’ policy and also informal meetings where employees can either feel free to go to their supervisors first with any questions or concerns and also raise issues with resources or basically anything that interferes with their job performance (Newstrom, 2014, p. 70).

Authoritative teachers will often “try to catch their students being good” and will reinforce the good behavior, rather than focusing on the bad. (Iannelli, 2004). It is critical that teachers praise their students for their efforts. A teacher can teach the entire classroom by recognizing one child’s positive action. Children desire praise and they will learn appropriate behavior when their fellow students receive praise. When teachers focus on bad behavior and make an example of a particular student to the entire classroom, it only makes the child that is being reprimanded feel alienated, ashamed, embarrassed, or possibly revengeful.

There are many avenues to studying human interactions associated with deviant behavior through sociology, but what exactly defines “deviant behavior”? There is no one definition that truly solidifies what deviance is. Society plays a significant role in critiquing deviant behavior as it differs from each individual’s cultural beliefs. Sociologists continue to research human interaction/deviant behaviors by analyzing statistics, languages and ethnicity. There are different approaches in which sociologists observe society’s interactions either through a: positivist, relativist, and critical conception perspective. Although all three do have similarities, there perspectives on human behavior are diverse. Sociologists may analyze the same information,

Early childhood development meant may be defined as the critical years of education for toddlers. During these years they become increasingly aware of their surrounds and the behavior. Children will adapt to the behaviors which are visual to them. During these years child absorb more information than the average adult over a 4 year span. This is because their sole purpose is to learn and grow. As parents, we have to be very aware of the surrounds and things we present them with. Behavior learned now will carry out. The question of teaching them moral ethics at this point is a controversial issue.

This past school year, I’ve worked for a preschool program that had classrooms in twenty two schools in Columbia, South Carolina. I’ve provided behavior modification for children in the classrooms, I’ve facilitated parental education with parents, I’ve attended meetings, presented info, and I’ve done a lot of other miscellaneous things. I’ve encountered various problems at the field site; this paper will include an application of two theoretical models to a client’s problem that I’ve previously had. The client in this situation is the student, but the focus is on the mom because she is the primary caregiver of the child and his siblings; in order for the children to be functional, their caregiver has to be functional.
