Kelvin's Behaviour Case Study

Decent Essays
Kelvin’s behaviour Throughout the year, the class team has tried its best to help Kelvin modify his challenging behaviour. He has his good days but he often doesn’t seem to listen to what the class team says to him and thus no improvement was shown.

Like for example, he stands up and goes around the class when the children are supposed to stay seated, he hands over the copy books directly to the teacher when he is supposed to wait for a peer to collect them, he interrupts his teacher when she is delivering a lesson explanation and there were instances when he also says rude words.

Instead of sending him to the counselor's office to atleast try to figure out why he/ she is misbehaving the way they are in class to see what can be done to prevent future problems teachers come up with silly disciplines that only makes behaviour worse. Then they come back to school the next day and continue the same behavior they had the previous…

    In other words, I feel like his behaviors is more covered with of emptiness and inappropriate behaviors, so learning with reinforcements seems better to eliminate those unwanted behaviors. For instance, to increase his appropriate behavior with positive reinforcement, we can give him candies or desserts whenever he speaks and participates in class (not only to the teacher but also when they are doing group work with his friends), or even providing pizza parties when he obtains more than 20 candies or shows more effort on participating. For another example, we can give an “A” or an award on any of the classes he’s doing good at. Let’s say he is still smart in math, giving him an “A” or an award will bring at least one positive behavior towards him when he walks into his math…

    4.1.a. Non-progressive interventions/consequences In the article, Tips for Function Based Discipline in the Classroom, Gavoni (2016) characterizes non-progressive consequences by, “being the ‘same’ every time and are appropriate and function based that are related to the magnitude of the misbehavior” (para. 11). If a consequence is going to be affective in the classroom, it needs to be consistent; for this I believe the consequences need to be simple and are reflective of the behavior. Our classroom rules (listed in CMP 2.2.a.) are as follows; Respect your classmates in your words and your actions, listen when someone else is talking, come to class prepared with all required materials, and follow the teacher’s directions.…

As JW started learning about controlling Ethernet drives and input / output control systems, he started struggling with the concept of the many different things that were going on inside one communications cable.

    Theorists That which follows are brief descriptions of eleven theorists whose works have influence classroom discipline practices. The kinds of thinking they represent was a departure from earlier, less thoughtful approaches. Each theorist offers a unique perspective on human behavior and the role of punishment in a classroom.

Fritz Redl and William Wattenberg: Discipline through influencing group behavior “Redl and Wattenberg argue that students behave differently in groups than individually.…

    The following Antecedent-Behavior-Consequences (ABC) Chart has been prepared for Jackson K. Direct observation was done during his Integrated Algebra 1A class to complete the ABC chart. The purpose was to identify “environmental and contextual variables that support challenging behavior” (Chandler and Dahlquist, 70). There are some consequences that are often related to appropriate and challenging behaviors, some desirable and others not. Unfortunately, oftentimes students that engage in challenging behaviors are removed from the learning environment. This is not helpful because the function of this behavior is avoidance and so the behavior is successful from the student’s perspective.…
