bad behaviour in the clasroom

to begin with, I am sure that always we are going to find these complicated children that have bad behaviour during the class, these students who create uncomfortable situation in a clasroom, where always it is going to be a big controversial issues.

Dysfunctional families are more prevalent than they should be and often teachers and trainers provide the one safe context for learners in these situations. Deprivation of love, excessive control, family restructuring, abuses of various kinds, damage to self-concept and violence are features of dysfunctional family situations that are often ‘acted out’ in a classroom or workplace setting. The problems that originate in society that can impact on classroom management include the impact of a technologically saturated life, peer pressure, racial and class conflicts, unemployment and poverty. The problems that occur within the classroom that may account for unsociable or difficult to manage behaviours include instruction without context, failure to teach problem solving skills, non acceptance of the students’ situations, competitive grading, excessive coercion and systems of punishment and reward.

Is the teacher going to adopt a view of the learner that assumes that they can be conditioned to better behaviour and therefore learning? Or is the teacher going to base his or her practices on a view that learners are self regulating and that self regulation needs to be taught? Or something in between? The questions posed for the teacher then become which standpoint about learning and consequent behaviour management will:

Encourage my learners to become independent and self reliant
Be consistent with what I know about my learners
Be the easiest to implement and manage
Demonstrate consistency to my learners
Be most effective
Help to promote a strong self concept in my learners
Prevent further discipline problems (p28-29)

The type of teacher that I want to be

to think in the type of teacher I want to be, hundreds of concept come to my mind such as gennineries, acceptance, understanding etc.. They are important in a teacher or in a English Teacher as well as. Also I can say that especial teacher is someone who loves her / his job, someone who has her/ his own personality, style and expectations about what happen in the classroom.
I think all the things that I said before are characteristc about a good teacher or the ideal teacher that every teacher want to be.

The type of teacher that I want to be, is a open questions that I have not the answer yet, a cross of my life I relly realize what teacher would be, for now I am sure that I am model for my students and a students for my teacher.

How important is Student Motivation

through the time I realized that the motivation is ver important in the students because the students need to learn this secong language in order to be able to communicate and the desere to learn.

I thinnk that the desere to learn of theses students come from many causes, for examples students can love the English because of music, they want to learn English for watching american TV or because of the internet. However all this fact that I said help today that these children are connected with the technology and can be part of the system education as well. ( I said it because It is a poor school and the students always told me that they do not need English for picking up vegetables and fruit).

the important here is the teacher may be able to turn a class around because highly motived students do better than ones without any motivation at all.

Class Oservation. April 22nd

First of all, I’d like to say that everytime that I am in front of a classroom giving some instruction and helping the teacher with her clasroom, I feel is very important for me for me how to controlin many different ways and how the students are in the moment of learning. I am nutricing myself everyday and I am thinking how a teacher think because of these 3 years of practicing and helping the teacher with her daily work.

Maybe when we are students we think like students obviously, we don’t have the empathy to think how teacher feel in that moment or if they have problem. We just think in they are teacher and that’s all.

But now I realized in the point of view of a teacher that we have to know how to control our emotion and ourself, if we are tired and depressed. To be a good teacher we need to leave our problem out because the students notice all our feelings and we can not transmite them directicly to the students.

How to give students opportunity to participe equally

Going to school and participating in a class together with the teacher in this case Miss Edita, is an exciting and practical experience, it is helpeful in the way that now I am clean about students needs.

Students are demanding while I am in the classroom because not all the student respond to entries of knoledge equal, it means that is imposible to get all on and inrested in the activity, but to make them take part in the class does that they keep on interested in learning even if inside the classroom there are two teacher, in this case Miss edita and I.

Nowadays I think to learn English is not difficult as to learn math. They both are important to be taught in any Chilan school, private or public, even thought still English is being undervalued. But the students interested towards learning English stand out a lot today, even in a special classroom like 5 grade, these students have a big potencial, they are very enthusiastic and learn quickly.

In conclusion, I realized that Miss Editha provide active activities where she gives them a chance to re-energize and motivated themselves in improve, giving the opportunity to participe the equal form.

Reflection about: Good Relationship between Collegues

think that is time to start to think as a real teacher, it means to have high view about what to expect to your students and collegues as well, how to relationship between each other, and how important they are going to be because we are going to share time, ideas, esperiences, events etc.

Nowadays, in a teacher classroom, we can find teacher from different ages and subject, as I used to see and in the Cosmito school there are young and old teacher, but it is not problem to form good relatinship between them, on contrary, they spend a good time together in the extra activities that they create to form a good working atmosphere. In fact, I think that it is real important to create a good atmosphere of work.

Going to school 1 am knowing and having relationship with differernt teacher who are giving special moment, experiences and frienship because of time togother and love for teaching so I can ‘t be indiferent to this, however, today they are seeing me as a future collegues that in everytime of life we will find again.

Real English practice v/s English practice

thinking about future is something that I always do in every moment of my life, today I see my future more clear than 5 years ago with respect that I really want to be an Enlgish teacher. But just in this last year I have learnt more new interesting and practical thing than during all of the other years together. It means that practical experience make me more strong in my teacher position. In addition I really aware of that it help me to grow up more like person and English teacher. Thus, I know that I am going to be a teacher soon and I have to apply for a job and start my profetional major. Where I am going to make practice in real life all the knowlegde.


in other word, I am clear that if I want to be a good teacher I need to practice my english with direct experience from USA or England so it means that is really important to stay abroad for a time to realize the aspects of the language that here I cannot. It helps me to be in more real situation with respect to this second language

Finally, taking into consideration that to teach english is a big challenge today for all the people who want to be a teacher because of the educational problems that Chile has had. It is not going to change, however I would like to feel well-prepare for practicing the pegagogy and help the country
