Why behavior of a learner contribute exclusion

A learners behaviour also contribute partly to being excluded or included in learning process because frequent negative behaviour from a learner will make  the teacher feel bad and make an unwanted comment about the learner which also is opposite to qualities of a good teacher,  and make a learner feel discouraged and not ready to be among.

Learners in my experience have actually been disengaged and felt excluded given the content material if it's kind of complicated to grasp and that's where I have tried to use additional tutoring and coaching as interventions to help.

The issue of learners behavior contributing to exclusion could partly do with some psychological issues, a child or student who is not happy or is having some families problems may feel out of place in school or may hardly concentrate in his studies, the preparedness of the mind is key when it comes to learning.

You raise a very interesting point. Is poor behaviour a result of feeling excluded in some way? or is it poor behaviour that causes people to be excluded?

I feel poor behavior can lead to exclusion and at the same time exclusion can lead to poor behavior. The teacher should work on both to ensure that no learner is excluded.

As a teacher I certainly believe poor behaviour allow students to be excluded. If this child is constantly disturbing and distracting other during instructional time he or she will be placed on time out and is not able to engage in other extra curricular activities. 

Adults can also be excluded base on their behaviour. Who wants to be in the company of others who constantly misbehaves in public or has a disrespectful mouth?

Behavior and exclusion

Children come from different environment and this can influence their behavior positively or negatively in class.It is upon the teacher to study all the children very closely to identify children who are behaving like they are excluded be friend them and work closely with the parents to know why the child behaves like that,from there the teacher should work closely with the child so that the child gets the feeling of belonging in the school.

I agree with you Cathrine. I think teachers need to be sensitized to be able to identify and understand why a learner is exhibiting a certain behaviour. This will allow for the available resources and resources persons to be used to support the learner e.g. referring them to the guidance and counselling teacher, working with parents or it could be due to lack of certain basic needs which the school could be able to provide/support with.
