Question

Students are most likely to follow classroom rules if they understand the reasons behind the rules. below are four possible ways through which we might help students learn why we establish certain rules for classroom behavior. which one is most consistent with recommendations offered in the textbook?

a. let the class operate without rules for the first week or two.
b. describe what a classroom with no rules and procedures would be like.
c. if students are capable of abstract thought, explain how the classroom is in many respects a democracy.
d. have students discuss problems that arise in the classroom and develop possible ways of solving them.

Answer 1

The right answer is D. Have students discuss problems that arise in the classroom and develop possible ways of solving them. When students establish their own rules, they are more likely to commit to fulfilling them and see that their peers comply with them, unlike what would happen if they perceive that they are forced to obey rules established by others. That is why the student should be encouraged to discuss possible options for a good coexistence in the classroom.

I hope this information can help you.
