Do Task Guiding Behaviors Work?

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

Behaviour for learning refers to the pressure on schools to constantly attempt to raise attainments (Department for Children, Schools and Families 2009). This has come about because of schools trying to raise standards for their students that can be identified in the teaching standards which promotes the raising of standard for students. Adams (2009) says 97 percent of new qualified teachers believe managing student behaviour is one of the most important issues for them in the teaching field. Behaviour cannot be separated from learning as they are intrinsically linked together (Ellis and Tod, 2009). Behaviour for learning therefore becomes one of the most important issue for newly qualified teachers and trainee teachers. This reflective writing will look at how the trainee teacher will building relationships in the classrooms as a means of promoting behaviour for learning.

This is why I also employ the constructivism technique of collaborative groups in my classroom to give students the opportunity to discuss ideas with their peers and make reasonable conclusions about what they are learning. My classroom is arranged with student desks placed in small groups, which allows students to direct their attention to the front of the room when needed, yet they can turn and collaborate with their peers during group work.

- Help develop a sense of success and accomplishment for the group (put non-confrontational topics in front of topic that could cause a struggle on the agenda)

Stop Talking, let them speak: Be sure to let your listener talk, and share their Ideas with you as well.

I would have to say that the time management activity was the most helpful for me. I was not very good at managing

At the beginning of the year I was focused solely on saying whatever I wanted to say as quickly as possible, and I payed little attention to what others we're wanted to contribute. This wasn’t beneficial to me or the other participants, as it created a stressful environment where everyone was clamouring to speak, but no one was really listening to each other. That has changed considerably for me, as I currently have a completely different outlook. I now understand that for a forum such as a Socratic Seminar to be work, each participant must respectfully fulfill the role of both speaker and listener. I allow others to speak instead of constantly worrying about when I can next interject, and I pay close attention to what others are trying to say. I also make an effort to notice when someone hasn’t spoken much or really wants to speak, and include them in the conversation. In the future I hope to improve even more by further building upon these new skills, and allowing myself to become a better participant in the discussion as a

The Group work skills my Co- facilitator and myself used was trying to establish a since of involvement from the group when asking the members of the group about what rules they would like to add to the rules. Wisline’s character suggested that group should be fifteen minutes and began to disagree with Anna about the group being held for one hour. I utilized responding skills when Anna asked what I thought about what Wisline’s character was saying. One of the observers stated that I did well with instructing and setting precedence without being bossy and not cowering when challenged, which she believes brought about respect from the client. According to Toseland & Rivas (2012) skillful responses help the group as whole and individual

Today schools are faced with an overwhelming amount of behavior problems as a result they have incorporated programs to help create a positive culture within each school system. Several behavior management programs have been implemented in schools all over the United States therefore the school environment can run more smoothly. Here are some approaches that aid in creating a positive and safe environment in schools.

Candidate Zdeb barely met the minimum requirements of a five paragraph order by stating all paragraphs but breifing little to no detail within each one. SNC had no concept of tasking statements and his team had no idea what the plan to accomplish the mission was when he had completed his brief. Once his brief was complete, SNC finally looked at the obstacle for the first time and took an extended pauseevaluate it and try to develop a plan. When the equipment he was provided with became out of play twice, SNC counted down from sixty seconds himself both times, wasting two minutes of time he could have used to formulate a different plan and failing effectively utilize his team members by not delegating tasks accordingly. After his first course

Teachers encourage students to learn more to slove problem on their own if they can because they have skills. Teachers find out some students work together when they were in the group. The students got pare up or put in the group to see how their behavior affect others, to create learning social interaction and be a engage learner. Self- motivation play a big role in people's lives especially kids because they lost interest or patient real quick.

Task Role Behavior- Behaviors that involve the initiation of ideas related to group problem solving activities

When doing so the other group members were active listener, by using their whole body verbally and nonverbal. Like facing the speaker and giving eye contact and try to avoided interruption. The group also acknowledges the thoughts of the speaker by giving constructive feed back. Due to the effectiveness of the group communication, we were able to build trust, respect and understand the issues and make decision for effective change. We illustrate this by coming together as a group one again to accomplish the goal we initially wanted to accomplish. Since the first organization that we had chosen was incorrect, so we had to make the necessary changes to accomplish our goals. The other effective feature is the purpose of the group. Kozier et al (2010) stated that the effective group purpose is when “goal, task, and outcomes are clarified. Understanding and modified so that members of the group can commit themselves to purposes through cooperation” (p.401). For instance, each individual was assign a task and knew what was to be accomplished. As group we all decided to meet at suitable day and time which was beneficial to all team members, because we could commit to the group and focus on what needed to be achieved.

The things I will have done differently in the group was to use my time wisely. I believe because we were on a time frame, I tended to rush things just to say okay where done. Also, more support and trust at a point of time I was kind of second guessing another idea. I feel that you have to have trust in your group member to make it effective.

I used to believe that I did not perform very well in groups. I am an observer who likes to learn alone. I thought I learned best when I worked on my own. Even though I always knew group work had many positive values, I was more comfortable with the lecture-based approach and resisted group work merely because it involved change, not because it had a collaborative learning approach. However, during the learning community project, I came to realize that I learn more effectively when I work in groups. Working in a group was like an adventure for me; there were both exciting and challenging times while preparing for the learning community project.
