Task4

Questioning Awareness of Effect

When a student engages in disruptive in the classroom, it negatively impacts both the teacher’s ability to teach and other student’s ability to learn. One way a teacher can correct disruptive behavior is by questioning awareness of effect. With this technique, when a student disrupts the class, the teacher asks the student a question that draws attention to the negative effect of the student’s behavior. The teacher then does not wait for an answer, but immediately continues teaching. By thus simply drawing attention to the effect of the student’s behavior, the teacher can often lead the student to discontinue the behavior.

Explain how example from the lecture illustrates the technique of questioning awareness of effect.
