Why study Promoting Positive Student Behaviour in School - Scholarship?
This module has been developed in response to a need that has been identified by teachers and educational personnel who are confronted with a variety of challenging behaviours from refusal to participate in school activities through to students who are very disruptive and aggressive towards other students and school personnel. Research clearly indicates that managing students' behaviours in school is complex as a number of factors such as the curriculum, teacher-student relationships, peer group interactions, and school routines need to be considered. Additionally, recent advances in educational neuroscience have identified that students capacities to regulate their behaviours often does not occur until their early to mid-twenties, contributing to bouts of impulsive and dis-regulated behaviour in some students. This SFC will provide teachers and educational personnel with the knowledge and skills needed to work constructively towards promoting positive behaviour in students. English proficiency is recommended for students undertaking this module.
Students will have up to 3 months to complete the module.
