Question

A teacher makes a request of a student. The student emits aggressive behavior immediately following the request. The teacher removes the request in order to avoid getting hit. The teacher's request:

Answer 1

Answer:

Is a motivating operation for the problem behavior

Explanation:

The teacher should have kept the request and authority in the face of the student's aggressive behavior. Within the classroom there is a hierarchy where the teacher becomes an authority in front of his students, students must respect this authority, while teachers must impose respect and demotivate contrary behaviors. When the teacher removed the request he made to the student who was aggressive because he did not want to comply with the teacher's loneliness, the teacher, besides weakening his post, motivated the student's bad behavior, who will now want to use aggression to escape situations that are unpleasant to him/her.
