Question

study, The need for students to act out to get attention is virtually eliminated when teachers: Immediately stop the inappropriate behavior. Have four positive interactions for every negative interaction. Provide reinforcement for appropriate behavior. State expectations at the beginning of class.

Answer 1

Answer:

Provide reinforcement for appropriate behavior.

Explanation:

The use of reinforcements by teachers have been effective in eliminating overt behaviors by students. Different types of “reinforcers” have been tried out and deemed successful in changing student behavior. Nodding of head, clapping and smiling (which express approvals of actions) are some of the social reinforcers, pre-planned by teachers to help instill acceptable deeds.

In some other cases, other powerfully motivating reinforcers have been for the student to select class activities they wish to participate in and the preferred classmate they hope to have in such activities.
