Document Summary
Bases of behaviour: why students do the things they do. The ecological perspective/theory, bronfenbrenner: micro, meso, exo, macro, chronosystem. Limited experience with friendships, life experience, ability to solve and think through problems, deference to authority, egocentrism. Low ability pupils act inappropriate to mask a problem. Gifted may be inappropriate due to low challenge, felling out of place, oversensitivity, to gain popularity. Off task behaviour (boredom), should be an alarm bell not an annoyance. Kohlberg: individuals progress through stages of development. Development from egocentrism-punishment avoidance to consideration of others- universal principles. Gilligan: individuals progress through stages of development. Development from egocentrism- care of self to interdependence/connectedness-care and compassion for all human beings. Robert selman developed a stage model of perspective taking. It has been empirically tested and allows teachers to identify where students are at in terms of their social development. Undifferentiated / ego-centric; children cannot differentiate between their own perspective and that of others.
