Correct Answer - Option 2 : Praising a child before other children
Creating situations and opportunities for encouraging learning by each and every student in the class is one of the basic things that you as a teacher would expect to do. A class constitutes a group of students, in most cases of the same age, and a teacher to teach and facilitate students’ learning. The teacher of a class knows his/her students very well.
Creating a Learner Friendly Environment in the classroom:
The classroom environment should be such that each and every child feels comfortable, joyful and feel encouraged to use his/ her potentials optimally for learning.
- A good classroom is like a home away from home for both the teacher and the students. It should thus be safe, secured, attractive and functional, keeping in mind the grade, age appropriateness, the type of classroom activities the teacher and students will perform etc. A classroom environment communicates a bit good about what the classroom is like. The physical atmosphere of a classroom speaks about the nature of students and teacher of the class.
- To create a learning-friendly humane environment, you have to keep the following things in mind:
- Be understanding and sensitive to the emotional and academic needs of the students.
- Be always proactive to students’ cause.
- To avoid giving the impression of partiality.
- A teacher should not encourage any discriminatory words or practices in the class. He should behave equally with all students.
- Be patient and sympathetic while dealing with problem children in the classroom.
- A teacher should carefully monitor behaviour and interactions with all students.
- A teacher should not encourage unhealthy comparisons and competitions among students.
- Give maximum opportunities to the students to participate in all the activities of the school. Give them maximum scope to achieve their ability.
- By working together, the bonds between the teacher and students and among students get strengthened.
- Use pleasant words with firmness while handling indiscipline activities.
- Encourage co-operation and collaboration among students.
- Encourage healthy interaction among students through group activities.
- Ensure the whole-hearted engagement of students in group activities.
- Conduct various kinds of projects and co-curricular activities so that every student would find enough scope to channelize his/her inner talent and desires.
Hence, we conclude that 'Praising a child before other children should not be promoted.
