“Children have more need of models than
of critics”
In school setting, teachers are
considered as model. When children are in home their elders are considered as a
paradigm. As we can see they imitate what the older individuals do. Be it good
or bad. We need to show our student the right conduct and proper behavior so
they would adopt desirable behavior. In case of classroom setting, teachers
should employ rules and regulation that favored the student’s nature and should
be prepared in a way students’ rights wouldn’t be hurt. We should avoid
authoritative atmosphere in classroom because it might ruin the interest of the
student to learn. Teachers should avoid criticizing his/her student’s
shortcomings to avoid committing anxieties on the part of the learner. Feeling
of such apprehensions would only make them feel failure which may result prevention
of learning process.
Based on my own experience, during
my childhood days or even up to this time I am more motivated to learn if the
one teaching me is a role model. Meaning he walk his talk. It is very hard for me to obey someone if I
know the one saying it is not applying it himself. This thought for the day
reminds me to become conscious of my actions. I must admit that at the first
quarter of this semester I became very irresponsible due to lack direction, I didn’t
set my priority first so I end up trying to do everything at a time without
having a good output at all. The realization came that if I really wanted to
become a teacher I should be a model. so I set myself to be one – little by
little. I am now on the process of changing ‘me’ into a more accepted one
because I want to teach children. I would love to be with them. And I like to
become their teacher for me to be able to help them mold their future as early
as possible and to be part of their training in becoming a good citizen of
their generation.
