A thought?
• “…teachers need to find a balance of nurturance and separateness in their relationships with their students, so that the students can carry that modelling into their own careers.”
(Plaut, 1993)
Teacher, Parent,Counsellor, Boss or Friend……
How is the role of a teacher,
similar or different to other
common roles?
•What issues does this raise for you as a trainee teacher?•Do the issues change as the role changes?
i.e. teacher to course tutor etc.
What are your boundaries?• Can you telephone the parents of a learner over 18?• Responsibilities for 14-16 year olds• Do you lend money to learners?• Who do you go to if the learner
appears suicidal?• What do you do if you suspect the
learner is being sexually abused?• Violence
You might need to find out about
• Counselling services
• Organisation charter (is there one?)
• Sending out of class (problems with 14-16 from school)
• Suspicions or allegations of child abuse
• Suspicions or allegations of substance misuse• Pregnant students
• Only work within your own competence, training and authorisation
Some images to make you thinkabout your roles, responsibilities
and boundaries.
Advice:• Request assistance
• Never get out of your depth
• Talk to your mentor
• Always ensure you treat all learners fairly (unconditional (?) acceptance and boundaries)
• Ensure you maintain confidentiality
• Follow your organisational requirements
Barriers to learning
“It has become clear that cultural barriers are the most difficult to deal with, that structural barriers are the most numerous but that personal barriers, particularly those involving motivation and learning styles, are the most
important.”Peter Maxted (1999) Barriers to Learning Campaign for Learning, London
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivations
What is the difference?“doing something for an internal reward or doing something because of an external reward.”
Can teachers influence intrinsic motivation?
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology, proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation and later refined in his1954 book Motivation and Personality
Some CriticismsThere have been many criticisms of the Maslow model when real-life working practice is considered, including:
- Individual behaviour seems to respond to several needs at the same time- The same need (e.g. the need to socialise) may cause quite different behaviour in different individuals- There is little empirical evidence to support the model.
Some critics suggest that Maslow's model is only really relevant to understanding the behaviour of middle-class workers in the UK and the USA (where Maslow undertook his research). Never the less it has been highly influential.
