Behaviour Management

What is positive reinforcement?

• 
  Punishing negative behaviour to discourage it

• 
  Rewarding positive behaviour to encourage it

• Ignoring negative behaviour

• Giving feedback only when mistakes are made

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of having clear classroom rules?

• Reducing misunderstandings between students and teachers

• Creating a safe learning environment

• 
  Increasing the time spent on disciplinary actions

• Helping students understand expectations

Operant Conditioning relies on the principle that behaviour is influenced by:

• Peer pressure

• Innate desires

• External rewards only

• Consequences

Working with others to manage behaviour in the classroom is important because:

• It makes the classroom environment more competitive

• It ensures that students never misbehave

• 
  It provides a support network for both students and teachers

• It allows the teacher to delegate all disciplinary responsibilities

Positive reinforcement can be:

• Only verbal praise

• Both verbal praise and tangible rewards

• Neither verbal praise nor tangible rewards

• Only tangible rewards

In Operant Conditioning, reinforcement is to increasing a behaviour as punishment is to:

• Decreasing a behaviour

• Increasing behaviour

• Observing behaviour

• Ignoring behaviour

When establishing classroom rules, it is important to:

• Have as many rules as possible to cover all scenarios

• 
  Change the rules frequently to keep students alert

• Involve students in the rule-making process

• 
  Only enforce the rules when there is a serious problem

In the context of working with others on behaviour management, peer mediation is:

• A strategy where students help resolve conflicts among their peers

• A process where teachers discuss a student's behaviour without involving the student

• A method where parents mediate conflicts between students and teachers

• An approach where students are taught to mediate their own internal conflicts

Effective behaviour management strategies in the classroom:

• Balance between reinforcing positive behaviours and addressing negative ones

• Encourage competition among students for rewards

• Focus solely on punishing negative behaviours

• Ignore minor misbehaviours to focus on major issues

Logical consequences in the classroom:

• Are unrelated to the student's behaviour

• Are designed to shame or embarrass the student

• 
  Do not require explanation or understanding from the student

• Are directly related to the student's behaviour
