Modelling Appropriate Behaviors: Cell Phone Etiquette Cell phones are an everyday part of life. We all have one and even some of our children have cell phones. With this increase availability of cell phones it is important that we model appropriate behavior in order for our children to pick up on appropriate behavior. There are many different approaches to cell phone etiquette, especially when it comes to dealing with preteens and teenagers. • Communication: If you believe that your child is responsible enough for a cell phone then you also believe they are responsible enough to communicate with you.…
Unfortunately both of these can be found in most classrooms. It is typical for young children to experience conflict over toys, friends, space, and not comprehending the material which was taught. The classroom observed had its fair share of conflicts and a few challenging behaviors. Challenging Behavior This particular class has morning work to complete as the educator does what she needs to do before the day really begins.…

The purpose of “The Quiet Classroom Game: A Class-Wide Intervention to Increase Academic Engagement and Reduce Disruptive Behavior” by Keith Radley, Evan Dart, and Roderick O’Handley is to promote the idea that a quiet classroom is more likely to encourage high levels of academic engagement and reduce children’s disruptive behaviors within the classroom. This article addresses a study of three elementary school classrooms in the southeastern United States with three different teachers who implemented the “Quiet Classroom Game” (Radley, Dart, O’Handley, 2016) into their own classrooms. The first teacher, “a 24-year old African American woman in her second year of teaching the first grade” (Radley, Dart, & O’Handley, 2016), taught in a classroom…
The “good behavior game” is a long term behavioral change used in classrooms. The basis of the game is to create a competition. Each class is broken into teams and given specific rules. If these rules are broken contingencies would be placed onto the team. This behavioral activity has had a long-term effect on behavior since the early 1990’s…
Other students can see and recognize and learn from each other's behaviors and learn what the consequences are. A good example used in the chapter was if students are placed in time out due to misbehaving with each other. Students are placed very close to each other and given a goal of working out their differences. What I liked about this is that the timeout was for both parties and both parties had to figure out a plan to behave better and have a discussion about their actions. Use of operant conditioning and behavioral analysis in the classroom can help manage different behaviors in the classroom when used…
Change consists of two characteristics: environmental and instilled behaviors, or beliefs. I feel confident in saying that people can successfully change who they are if they are changing environmental factors, assuming all variables are met. Environmental change is possible, through strong will, desire, and possibly the help of a counselor or therapist. However, instilled behaviors including beliefs, morals, and ethics are by far more challenging to achieve. Success in change of instilled behaviors may or may not be accomplished, I want to say more often not, and it takes a long time to achieve.…

They refuse to follow class rules, to complete assignments, to be seated, and fight.. When he or she receives warned about their behavior.…
In addition to the trait aspect of personality, the external environment also influences our personality whether we realize it or not. External environment like parenting style, culture, or school influences and shapes our behavior and perception. The longer one lives in the same environment, one may be influenced by the culture of the surrounding. This, external environment, then influences our traits. No matter how much one’s personality may change according to the environment, a person’s core personality will remain unchangeable.…
Results Yasumuro and Ikeda (2011) discovered statistically significant differences between the poor and enriched environments through exploratory behavior, various body patterns, and reactions to stimulus. The duration of exploratory behavior witnessed in the octopuses in the poor environment were notably less frequent than the standard or enriched environments, while the enriched environments displayed the most exploration of all three environments. Variations of exploratory behavior were seen on different days within the environments. For example, the second and third days of the experiment showed gradual increase exploratory behavior in the poor and standard environments while decreasing in the enriched environment on the second day. However,…
Externalizing behavior problems refers to a grouping of behavior problems that are manifested in children’s outward behavior and reflect the child negatively acting on the external environment(1)(2) (Campbell, Shaw, & Gilliom, 2000; Eisenberg et al., 2001)3. In the research literature, these externalizing disorders consist of disruptive, hyperactive, and aggressive behaviors(3) (Hinshaw, 1987)4 Conduct problem in children is a form of exteriorized behaviour and may be expressed in the form of any of a range of diverse behavioural patterns- from the frequent and intense temper tantrums and persistent disobedience of the difficult child to the delinquent's serious acts of aggression, such as theft, violence and rape. The major characteristic of conduct disorder is the violation of the rights of others and social norms…
Social stratification is “a system by which society [categorizes] people in a hierarchy”(2). This hierarchy is based on people’s perception of their prestige and power, and they base that off of people’s race, ethnicity, social class, sex, gender and sexuality. There are three elements on the phenomenological cycle, and they work together to create social stratification and they are Externalization, Objectivation, and Internalization. Social construction theory proposes that everything people believe to be true is based on our interactions with the world (5) and this is shown to be true in Externalization, Objectivation and Internalization.…
Taking the time to get to know a disruptive child, will allow the teacher to get a feel for why the behavior was occurring (Curwin, R., & Mendler, A., 2008). It may be that the child doesn’t know how to express their feelings, emotions, needs and desires and act out to get what they feel they are missing. If a teacher can meet a child’s basic needs, there will be no need for misbehavior. It is important to make sure that all children feel loved, cared for, and like they belong (Aven,…
Exposure to violence can affect children in multiple ways. It can interfere with the child's learning, and the child's mental health causing problems such as depression and anxiety. The children who suffer the most from violence exposure in their communities are children of African American or Latino descent living in urban communities. An urban community is described as being a neighborhood that does not have a very pleasing appeal to it, it is very loud and crowded (Bradshaw et al. 2009). There are many different ways that a child can be exposed to violence.…
As I mentioned in my chapter seven reflection, there are nearly an infinite number of reasons why children may act out during the school day. Some more examples include, the amount of free space in the classroom, the lack of down time, too much stimulation, pent up energy, and incompetence when completing assignments, just to name a few. Believe it or not, but all of these can be prevented with just some extra thought and effort from the teacher. For example, he or she needs to consider what the floor plan of their room is going to be like, where will the desks be? how will they be arranged?…
