https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh Add 3 new things you learned, 2 ways you can use these theories in your future classroom, and 1 question you still have. en-us 2020-10-08 22:33:11 UTC 2020-10-20 17:54:03 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3eb.png morganbideau1210 https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/823235947 The first new insight that I learned was that maintaining eye contact with the students can help them self- control. Another new insight that I learned was that when appraising reality, students learn why the behavior affects both them and the people around them. My third new insight is that understanding a groups dynamic can help the teacher keep groups engaged. 
My first practical application would be to go over my classroom expectations daily. I want my students to know all of our expectations and be pros at explaining what they look and sound like. Another practical application I have is to make sure I explain to my student when I see an unwanted behavior why that behavior is unwanted. I want them to know that you are not just telling them to stop because you feel like it, but there is a good reason behind it. 
A question I still have would be how to make sure you are utilizing all three theories in the classroom? ]]> 2020-10-13 00:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/823235947 https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/825634946 My first insight is that pleasure-pain theory could bring a desired behavior out or be used to keep a undesired behavior away. My second insight is that just by looking at a student in a certain way would help them, with the self control theory, get back on task. My third insight is that appraise reality theory is just like having tough conversations you would like to avoid but shouldn't. 
My first application is to try to gain those "evil eyes" and more self control theory methods. I can see that one being an area I lack inside my classroom so I will start working on that now. My second application is to use appraise reality theory inside my classroom a lot. I feel like students will really benefit from a one on one conversation to really talk about the behavior.
My final question would be, how would you recommend handling and avoid students from falling into those group dynamic roles?]]> 2020-10-13 16:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/825634946 https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/833324393 One new insight that I have learned from this theorist presentation is the pleasure-pain principle. We often hear about rewarding students for desired behaviors and punishing them for undesired behaviors, but this was my first time hearing about the actual principle of it. My second insight that I have learned is the self-control theory. Again, we often hear about giving students self-control, but this was my first time hearing about the actual theory of it. My third insight that I have learned is the idea that understanding group dynamics can help the teacher better prepare for and engage students in group work.

My first practical application would involve the appraise reality theory. If a student is being distracting or performing an unwanted behavior, I will explain to them that their actions are inappropriate/unwanted and that they are having a negative effect on the other students as well. My second practical application would involve the self-control theory. When applicable, before verbally telling the student what I want them to do, I will make eye contact or tap their desk. This will hopefully get them back on track and doing what they are supposed to be doing. 

One burning question that I still have is what if none of these theories work with a certain class? Then what?]]> 2020-10-15 17:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/833324393 https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/836992534 The three insights I gained from this presentation was the pleasure-pain principle, the self-control theory. and the appraising reality theory. The pleasure-pain principle is when you reward the students who are behaving correctly, and punish the ones who are not. The self-control theory is when you remind students of the rules and expectations in the classroom when they are misbehaving. The appraising reality theory is when you remind students of the consequences of their actions and how they affect others. I would use these in my classroom by taking off recess or taking time from desired activities when students misbehave by using the pleasure-pain principle and I would let students know how their misbehaviors effect the rest of their classmates and their learning by using the appraising reality theory. The burning question I have is which of these theories is the best to use in the classroom?]]> 2020-10-16 21:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/836992534 https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/837298019 One insight I got from this presentation is that Redl & Wattenberg's Pleasure/Pain Principle is very similar to B.F. Skinner's Reinforcement Theory. I can most definitely see myself implementing this theory in my future classroom to create desired behavior from my students. I think it this is an amazing and simple way to manage the classroom and the students' behaviors. Another thing I learned from this presentation was that there are a lot of ways to get students to behave, particularly nonverbal ways. Another thing I can do in my future classroom is implement the self-control theory with nonverbal actions. One more thing I learned is that students will be more inclined to stop bad behavior if they are told why it is viewed as 'bad behavior" in the first place. One burning question I have is, what do we do if students continue their disruptive behavior even after implementing Redl & Wattenberg's Theories?]]> 2020-10-17 02:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/837298019 https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/837717984 My first insight was the pleasure pain theory. This theory often is effective for the younger students because the older kids seem to care less about getting privilege's taken away. The second insight I learned was the appraising reality theory which is where the students are reminded how to act and how they act effects others around them. My third insight is the self-control theory which is where you reinforce the rules in the classroom when a student is misbehaving. I could use the self control theory in the classroom by giving a student who is misbehaving "the look" and hope they stop. I could use the pleasure pain in the classroom during reading time. If a student is not focused during independent reading I could take some of their recess time away so that they stay focused. One question I still have is what happens when all else fails and none of these theories work?]]> 2020-10-17 15:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/aew80495/eqe2ov36b2zohonh/wish/837717984
