Dreikurs Theory is based on a genuine human need to belong to a social group. Children have distinct peer groups such as sporty, musical and the popular kids clique. If they naturally don’t fall into one of these groups then they may misbehave to get recognition and a sense of status. Misbehaviour can start with attention seeking behaviour but if students are not successful in getting attention they may get progressively worse through power seeking or revenge behaviour and ultimately withdraw. In our role play we’re demonstrating an autocratic teaching style which can discourage students and a democratic teaching style which encourages students and promotes equality and inclusiveness in the group. **# 1 – Pen Clicking** //Alison// – Michelle stop clicking, it’s really irritating and it’s putting off the other students. You’re driving me up the wall. //Richard// – WALK OVER AND TAKE PEN. **# 2 – Talking – not paying attention** //Michelle// – Did you see that amazing goal I scored. //Svetlana// – Leave me alone, I am doing my work. //Alison// – Michelle if you don’t pay attention you’ll never learn and you’ll end up pushing a pram at 15 just like your sister. //Richard// – The only person that should be talking is me now, as agreed keep individual talk for later. **# 3 – Telling on** //Michelle// – Svetlana has done it wrong. //Alison// – Michelle no one likes dibber dobbers how can you expect to have any friends if you’re always dobbing on people. //Richard// – Svetlana if you need any help ask me later on. **# 4 – Calling out answer** //Alison// – Time tables quiz – put your hand up if you know the answer. 2 X 2 (4), 7 X 8 (56), 9 X 4 (36), 5 X 7 (35), 6 x 10 (60) //Michelle// – calling out answer to all //Alison// – Michelle, next time you call out, I’ll move you to the front of the class so everyone can see how silly you’re being. //Richard// – Michelle it’s terrific that you know the answers, but your friends will enjoy it more if everyone puts their hands up. **# 5 – Moving around** //Alison// – Michelle, sit down. //Michelle// – Have to go sharpen my pencil. //Alison// – Its always excuses with you I’ll keep you in sitting down for 5 mins during recess. //Richard// – While your on your feet, I’ll like you to hand out these work sheets. **# 6 – Throwing paper around the room** //Alison// – Who threw that? //Michelle// – I did. //Alison// – ffffffffffffffff //Richard// – Ok class, keep throwing for your PE class after lunch. You have just thrown paper across the room – what are the classroom responsibilities about safety in the classroom? **# 7 – Hair pulling** //Svetlana// – awwwwww //Alison// – Michelle stop it. //Michelle// – Why? //Alison// – Because it hurts – do you want me to show you how much it hurts? //Richard// – Michelle you’ll need to move over there because as you know you can’t hurt people. POINT TO BOARD. **# 8 – SO, Boring!** //Michelle// – This is sooooooo boring. //Alison// – Well of course it’s boring you keep interrupting – time tables are boring but you have to learn them. //Michelle// – Its not boring in Mr Gays class. //Alison// – Well you’re not in his class now so sit still and be quiet. //Richard// – Once you have learnt your times tables, we will go outside and play a game. **# 9 – Throwing paper at the teacher/board** //Michelle// – THROW PAPER AT THE TEACHER. //Alison// – Michelle stop that. //Michelle// – It wasn’t me. //Alison// – Of course it was you, it’s always you. //Michelle// – Your always picking on me. //Alison// – I knew you were trouble before you came into this class. Just like your sister. THROW PAPER BACK AT MICHELLE. //Richard// – Throwing paper at me makes for an unsafe classroom, please sit here were you won’t be tempted to throw anymore. **# 10 – Ruler Snapping** //Michelle// – HEY… [snaps Svetlana’s ruler]. //Svetlana// – She snapped my ruler. //Richard// – Hope you get pocket money Michelle, because you will replacing Svetlana’s ruler. While the others are working, lets have a chat about why you are choosing to behave like this. //Alison// – That’s it! You snapped the rules and snapped my patience. OUT! //Michelle// – As you can see, one teacher had an autocratic teaching style and focused on me as a person by continually putting me down which lowered my self esteem and isolated me from my peers, whereas the other teacher encouraged me as a student which was more effective in discouraging my antisocial behaviour and made me feel a valued member of the class. //Svetlana// – · Any questions or comments? · What is the key difference between the different teaching styles and what effect does this have on the students?
