C
an you
teach by reflecting on
a
students’
behavior and inviting a discussion.
?
Well, you can in areas where you want the student to understand themselves and take charge of
their learning.Slide3
Think of these situations:
A student is not confident in some area.
A student is careless communicating with others.
A student feels constrained and doesn’t reach out to innovate.
Slide4
These are examples of situations where you cannot solve the student’s problem through instruction– the student has to gain some self-knowledge and then inch out into new psychological territory.Slide5
Actually, you
can
teach entire courses non-
directively
, but it is seriously unusual.
Always being direct and assertive, however, has serious liabilities.
A balance of models makes awfully
good sense.
