The Importance of Balanced Teaching: Recognising Positive and Negative Behaviours in Students

Different teaching methods have been used for a long time to help students learn better, and these strategies are continually evolving and often play a huge role in determining their impact on learners. Some people believe that the best approach is to focus on positive actions and ignore negative ones, but I mostly disagree with this viewpoint for two main reasons. Although I concede that praising the right actions can have positive consequences, there are important nuances to consider.. Firstly, receiving praise from a teacher or authority figure usually makes students feel successful, which can motivate them to repeat those actions. However, determining what constitutes a positive action is highly subjective and depends on the teacher’s personal opinions and perspectives. For example, in the 1800s, when slavery and racism were at their peaks, a slave owner would have been proud of their children for continuing to assert dominance over the slaves. Acknowledging this behaviour might have encouraged the kids to commit even more inhumane acts towards the workers. It is important to acknowledge biases and prejudices and recognise how easy it is to project our own ideologies onto children’s behaviour.. Additionally, it is essential to address problematic behaviours in children because ignoring them would deprive them of learning the right lessons at the right time. While ignoring disruptive behaviour during a lecture might be acceptable, indifference to bullying or physical assault is dangerous. In such cases, the teacher should intervene and take the necessary steps to halt the behaviour and reinforce corrective measures in the students involved. Studies have shown that learning from mistakes through accountability is more effective than merely having a theoretical understanding of something. It is necessary to acknowledge and address problematic factors in a child’s personality before they transition into adulthood.. Although praising positive actions can be useful, it is essential to avoid an “all or nothing” approach that ignores negative behaviour. Students want validation from adults, and positive reinforcement can motivate them to repeat good behaviour. However, ignoring violent or destructive acts by children is not a suitable approach.. In conclusion, it is important to adopt a more balanced approach when determining the best way to teach. This approach should consider both positive and negative aspects equally to bring out the best in students..

How Technology has impacted our Attention Span

The year 2023 is the peak of the digital age in human history. We have access to a huge amount of information at our fingertips. This has in turn created a reality where there are too many things to learn, watch, and absorb but not enough time to do all of them. This has made us, as a species, increasingly impatient. Along with information, entertainment is also in abundance. The means of providing this entertainment and information may vary technologically, but their impact is the same. As a society, it’s becoming incredibly difficult to focus on things that don’t give you a temporary high. This temporary high is not only devastating to the individual but also to humanity in general. An average high school student during a global pandemic would rather play a video game on their smartphone device than attend their online lectures.. A pattern emerges where every time an attempt is made to invest time into something productive, the brain keeps wanting the dopamine kick from watching a comedy clip from the internet. It is incredibly easy to get hooked on an electronic device and become addicted to it without even realizing it. The more we try to suppress this desire, the more we end up going back to it. This vicious cycle ends up changing the neurological patterns in the brain and affects the ability of an individual to stay focused on one particular thing. The inability to stay focused makes the person incompetent and ends up affecting the mental health of the individual. This causes our attention span to decrease. Decision-making and cognitive abilities also suffer greatly.. It is very common for perfectly healthy individuals with a good sleeping schedule to feel sleepy and take a nap at their workplace. Their brain feels “foggy”. The struggle with paying attention starts right away as a result of the conditioning that technology provides to feel excited in just a few seconds, which makes all the other tasks seem incredibly boring. Watching short videos that immediately make us excited or laugh has wired our brain into expecting things to always be of that duration in order to be interesting. Even the domain of education has to come up with intuitive and interesting animations to keep the students engaged in their curriculum. Although this may sound good for education in general, there are several red flags about the focusing ability of students that should not be ignored.. When a new technology is made public, years are spent on research on how to engage more and more people in it to make the product a grand success. This makes the user so dependent on the technology that its absence makes them act in a self-destructive way. It's not unusual for someone to physically hurt themselves because a game is temporarily banned. This tendency to chase short bursts of happiness only leads to a path of tragedy, and a decline in our attention span is among the first few symptoms. Besides our attention span shortening, staying alert has also become a major challenge. More often than not, because we’re too focused on a device, we tend to miss out on someone calling us or a vehicle coming towards us at full speed. It is important to make more conscious decisions and use our willpower to do things that take us down a path of stability and not doom..
