Approach to discipline, what happens when
students are not getting the recognition they
desire, continually seek help, and refuse to work
unless the teacher hovers over them?
A. Attention getting
B.Withdrawal
C.Revenge seeking
D.Power seeking
Acceptance Approach
when students are given such acceptance by the teacher and peers, behavior and achievement improve. This
approach is rooted in humanistic psychology and maintains that every person has a prime need for
acceptance. It is also based on the democratic model of teaching in which the teacher provides
leadership by establishing rules and consequences, but at the same time allows students to participate in
decisions and to make choices.
The main representative of this approach is Rudolph Dreikurs. He maintains that acceptance by peers and
teachers is the prerequisite foe appropriate behavior and achievement in school. People try all kinds of
behavior to get status and recognition. If they are not successful in receiving recognition through socially
acceptable methods, they will turn to mistaken goals that result in antisocial behavior.
Dreikurs identifies 4 mistaken goals:
Attention getting: they want other students or the teacher to pay attention to them.
Power seeking: their defiance is expresses in arguing, contradicting, teasing, temper tantrums, and low – level
hostile behavior.
Revenge seeking: their mistaken goal is to hurt others to make up for being hurt or feeling rejected and loved.
Withdrawal: if students feel helpless and rejected, the goal of their behavior may become withdrawal from the
social situation, rather that confrontation.
