"I would be ashamed to belong to a society in which there were only teachers and no pupils. There would be one loud voice teacher, and nothing was impossible to learn" (R. Tagore).
"Are rare creatures affected by the virus of jealousy is stronger than the teacher. The students grow up and float away like water in the river, and the teachers are in place, as lumps on the bottom of the river. In others, they evoke dreams, but they themselves dream about. They feel abandoned as unnecessary items and condemn himself to solitude, or become a hypocrite. They are far too long for complete freedom of action and therefore do not allow others to exercise it "(Kobo Abe's" Woman in the Dunes. "
You liked these statements? I think that if you have any relation to this profession, do not be offended. Need to distinguish between the problem student, problem teachers and problem institution. It is important to improve in certain roles, to feel the need for self-development, but it is also important to be pleased with himself ... Many teachers in their daily work they think that they are waiting for omnipotence, and not feeling it in themselves, become irritated and unsatisfied.
But it may be different. The teacher may be interested in, to awaken in students the desire for knowledge, and so contribute to this, that both parties are satisfied. Challenges faced by a teacher or an adult child can be satisfied, dissatisfied, wishing to learn, not willing, indifferent. We have already talked about this in the context of the analysis of the training group, but important and the role of mentor these students.
What has the teacher? Of course - a means of punishment and encouragement, which he must use clearly, decisively, in accordance with established rules selves.But the penalties are taught how to avoid them (with the help of lies and cowardice ...).
But a good teacher-artist has, and other reinforcements. Let's talk about it.
"I will mobilize the contract between me and the teacher. The requirements are clear, because I'm involved in their definition. An excellent "tool of labor" teacher is consistently maintained contact with the student, then there is an agreement which arose in the process of their interaction, the terms of this agreement must be respected by both parties.
A good teacher will be able to say something positive about even the pathological groups and individuals with behavioral problems, for example, that "these are people who unconsciously try to find values of life. These are people who have experienced a lot of resentment and trouble, people who deny the falsity, abnormal conditions of life, unnatural world. They do it by feel. The problem of them is to understand the direction of movement and to choose constructive ways of gaining values.
Well formulated, is not it? "Anyone who achieved the success of the teacher believes that you can only teach those things which he live" (Lerner). Think about it, even if you think that the process of learning you have no relationship.
Exercise 7. My favorite teacher
Share your memories about who was your favorite teacher. Try to bring as many features of his behavior. However, keep in mind that your opinion is subjective and may not coincide with that of other people.
I suggest you talk-best with companion. In turn tell all what you think is important and characteristic for the behavior of his favorite teacher. Then try to exchange views and discuss. Whether the personality of your teachers provided by your interlocutor, and if so, what? Are similar or different descriptions given by each of you at the first stage of the exercise?
Try to answer the question, what you have learned from their favorite teachers. Were they people happy, sad, angry? What goals do you think they put in front of you?
Following the issue before us is of considerable importance to the way the perception of the teacher. Have you ever role played by the preliminary assessment of the class teacher for their future interaction?
Description of experiments devoted to this problem may cause headaches.
Suffice it to establish itself in the teacher thought that these children - "a flock of sheep" or, conversely, that the class of beautiful, and learning outcomes will be quite different.
This phenomenon is called "self fulfilling prophecies," and is essentially a unit. A lot of materials on this subject can be found in social psychology
perception, but we are talking about the role of pupil and therefore we shall only mention this aspect.
And you can find examples of this phenomenon from personal experience or observations?
