1- Activity 3- Social Cognitive Theory


Our students are our mirrors on the wall. They observe every move we make and as a result we have to be very careful as to the types of messages we send to them based on our actions.Students come from diverse backgrounds and teachers must cater to their needs. Students are quick to identify when teachers are supportive or not. Some students have very little positive support at home and it is important for teachers to provide some form of positive reinforcement.  We should not become weary in teaching our children how to learn.

We need to remember that we are powerful role models for our learners, and we have an important role to play, perhaps showing them better ways to communicate than they learn at home, and modelling good work habits like punctuality, persistence, organizing of material and meeting deadlines.
