Case: Purposefully Being Disobedient In a class I was an intern for, there was a young boy who would purposefully not follow directions given. For example, when told to create a poem with a drawing, the student wrote a poem and turned it in with no drawing. The teacher asked the boy to create a drawing, and about one minute later, the boy came back with pencil scribbles all over the paper. Mind you, this student has plenty of his artwork on the wall (along with his other classmates) and seemed to be in a hurry throughout this behavior. The teacher let him know the drawing must be done with the supplied crayons and must represent his poem. Finally, he turned in a beautiful assignment. What do you think could be causing this behavior and why? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would discourage that behavior by encouraging the student's strengths like if the teacher knows that student is artistic or can draw good pictures tell them that they should take their time, re-read the directions, and encourage them that you know they can produce a better drawing and they didn't give their full effort. Once the student turned in that completed properly you must praise and say, see look how good! It just might be the best you've ever drawn or really emphasize how proud you are. I think the behavior could be caused by not receiving enough encouragement or positive praise. I know I am more productive and happy to work for a teacher who notices my efforts and makes me feel good about my work, otherwise, a teacher that never thanks or praises I do not want to do the assignment and find them annoying. |
