During college years, I have attended many English classes
and observed many teachers’ styles of teaching. One thing that I have noticed
is that there are different ranges in the general behavior of students. In some classrooms the students are well mannered,
cheerful, and hardworking while others are rude, gloomy, and lazy. There I
started thinking what causes this difference? And I concluded that a main cause
is the positive or negative interaction between the teacher and her students...
Some teachers typically interact with students in negative ways: criticizing a student's poor posture, pointing out mistakes, making sarcastic remarks about inappropriate social behavior, and so on, those teachers don’t teach students how to learn from their mistakes. Other teachers typically interact with students in positive ways: complimenting a student's good posture, pointing out successes, making flattering remarks about appropriate social behavior, smiling to show approval, and so on. These teachers take the view that “Success is the best teacher.”
I have found that these two classroom “management styles” consistently correlate with differences in student behavior.
