Behaviourism
Structure in classrooms is required so that the students understand what is needed of them. If the students are aware of what they should and shouldn’t be doing they have a better perceptive on what the consequences would be. If there is no behavior management in the classroom learning cannot take place. Allowing the students to have an understanding of what the teacher’s expectations are will help them to choose their actions more carefully.
Managing inappropriate behaviour will enhanced the students learning ability. This will teach the child self control as well helping them understand the way they need to interact with others. When they have misbehaved the child will get an opportunity to reflex on their behavior. This allows the child to begin to see that inappropriate behavior has consequences.
The use of 'Mobile Phones'
I believe this is the opportunity for teachers to relate to pupils using knowledge of the tool in various classroom activities. To sustain 21st century learning as a future learning manager I think embedding technology into classroom activities will motivate the students to remain engaged. Yes, there a down sides to face with using mobile phones. There will always be the few students who take advantage of the tool; with correct disciple procedures in place this should prove to be a usual classroom practice for the few students who always find joy out of disruption. Lets face the facts majority of children under the age of five know how to use a phone and surprisingly enough by the time they reach primary school a high percentage have their own number. This is a connected generation and I think we need to stay one step ahead of them and be connected ourselves.
