Teaching psychology week 5 | Online Homework Aiders

I’m trying to study for my Psychology course and I need some help to understand this question.

Section A

Meredith corrects other students’ comments in class and Sondra does not participate in group activities, while Deshawn attempts to co-facilitate and Ivan is very defensive and offends others. It is the instructor’s responsibility to resolve these behavioral issues. These behaviors not only affect the student involved in these behaviors but they also impact the other students and the atmosphere of the class. What strategies might you use to correct these behavioral issues?

For this Discussion, review and study this week’s Learning Resources. Then consider any behavioral issues that have occurred in classes that you have taken either in-person or online (see the Learning Resources for possible issues). Select one of those behavioral issues and think about the dynamics involved. Finally, reflect on how the instructor handled it, and consider at least two other strategies that you could use to deal with the issue if it occurred in a class that you were teaching.

With these thoughts in mind:

a brief explanation of the behavioral issue you selected. Describe how the instructor resolved the issue, and explain why you feel the instructor’s approach was or was not effective. Finally, explain at least two other strategies that you could use to deal with the issue if it occurred in a class that you were teaching.

Be sure to support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full, APA-formatted citations for your references.

Section B

Not every student will like the material in your class, and some students may not like you! Somehow, you need to redirect their focus to the learning. You need to help them understand that it is not necessary to like the material or the instructor in order to understand the relevancy of the material to their current and future professional life. In this week’s Assignment, you consider this issue in relation to the learning theories covered in the course.

For this Discussion, review and study this week’s Learning Resources. Then read the message posted by Brittney, a student in your online introductory psychology class (you have not heard from her previously on this issue). Consider how you might respond to Brittney in terms of the teaching theories you have explored in the course to this point. Finally, select your response strategies and think about how the theories in the Learning Resources support their use.

Brittney: I absolutely hate the discussion this week on Freud! Why do we need to study this antiquated man? This course has been nothing like I thought it would be, I am so angry I feel like dropping the course. I totally disagree with the instructor’s statement that Freud’s ideas have influenced modern therapy! I have been in therapy for years, and NEVER did we talk about anything I have seen in his theories. I refuse to discuss his misogynistic ideas.

With these thoughts in mind:

a response to Brittney’s post that demonstrates your application of the theories that have been covered in the course to this point. Be sure to address Brittney’s anger, the appropriateness of her post, her refusal to participate, and her rejection of course topics.
