Advice
on Wrong behaviours
Choose two of the ‘wrong’ behaviours (i.e.
1,4,5,7,8,10). What advice would you give to a teacher who persistently uses
those approaches for long periods of time?
Behaviour 5: Teachers
always stands at the front
Teachers
should only stand in the front when he/she wants to assess the level of participation
of learners when writing a test or when answering an open ended question. A
learner that is not participating can be spotted distracting other learners’
attention or doing something completely unrelated to lesson. The teacher can
take appropriate steps to correct this.
Behaviour 10: Teachers
always use closed questions with yes no right or wrong answer
A teacher that
wants to use closed questions should turn it into a debate where learners defend
their answers with evidence. This will help students to think critically before
answer any question and also help them to discuss freely without feeling afraid
to give wrong answers
