Task 1a
A. Define Behavior management
Behavior management also knows as the behavior modification as it modified the behavior of
individuals in certain things. It motivated the individuals to perform different action for their
better future (Newell and Jeffery, 2013). Different individuals can use behavior management for
different purposes, for example teacher can use behavior management at classroom for
implementing the various rules for students like coming late in the class and disturbing other
students. Parents, students, teachers and employees can use different management approaches.
Behavior management can be use top reduce the negative behavior and encourage the individuals
to build positive approaches towards their work. Behavior management includes planning,
collection of data, education and future aspects (Jackson, et. al., 2013). Behavior management
techniques led the individuals to make correct choices and it always works. Behavior
management plays an important role in student’s life; it is very beneficial for the students.
Students who adopted behavior management techniques can easily reduce all the negative
approaches and they start thinking positively about their career, about their education and about
their friends and family members. Behavior management not only motivates students towards
their education but also it develops lots of skills like leadership skills, personality development
and development in their behavior. It builds lots of discipline in individuals and makes them
capable of doing certain things in their life and it also helps them to build a relationship with
other students and with their respective teachers.
B. Explain the importance of behaviour management in the classroom
Importance of behaviour management in the classroom are as follows:
 Behaviour management can motivate the children to build a strong career and to reduce
various negative approaches in their life (Shea and Bauer 2014).
 Behaviour management can make the decorum of the class and create a learning
environment where students can feel positive vibes towards their studies.
5

 Behaviour management can saves lots of time for the teacher in class as if all the
students behave properly then teachers will not have to waste their time in managing the
class and it will help them to teach their student some extra things.
 Behaviour management helps the students to developed lots of skills like learning skills,
working skills, leadership skills and improvement in their attitude.
 Behaviour management helps the school to create a new environment of promoting
positive behaviour towards students and it will reduce the poor behaviour (Beghetto and
Kaufman, 2014)
 It helps the students to make a change in their behaviour and make them more
responsible towards their work which provides various opportunities to learn new things.
 It makes students more discipline and helps the students to quit bad habits like
consuming alcohol and smoking.
 Behaviour management helps the students to make them mentally fit and make them
challenging and energetic.
C. Analyse at least 4 pedagogical principles of behaviour management. Pedagogical
principles
Four pedagogical principles of behaviour management are as follows:
 Motivation- Teachers should motivate their students for their better future; they should
know how to motivate students so that they will able to bring the best outcome from every
student. Motivation is a key behind every successful person, motivation encourage the
individuals to perform their best work. Motivated individuals always look to put their best
efforts to their work and it helps them to develop their personality and the way of
approaching (Iacob and Musuroi, 2013).
 Criticism- Criticism can play an important role in development of students as criticism
will encourage the students to do hard work. Students will get to k now their weakness and
also the area they have to work more. This will provide lots of opportunities to the
students as they will do hard which will result in their better career. Criticism will allow
the students to work on their weakness and by which they will able to develop new talent
and new skills
6

 Activities- Activities must be there in teaching as it is a great step to make students learn
new things with the help of various activities. These are the physical activities which can
be introduced so that it will make the students to learn new things in a more appropriate
manner. As everyone knows practical knowledge always last more than theoretical
knowledge and with the help of activities students will be more focused towards the
studies and will able to gain lots of knowledge (Klug, et. al., 2015).
 Inviting Imitation- Students always keen to find their key models in the school and
admire them for their better future. It will play an important role in development of their
skills. It is also necessary for the teachers to support those students and also respect them
and their efforts. There are many sub-principles which promote imitation like to develop
good relationship with students, always maintain a good discipline and personalisation in
learning.
D. Analyse other principles of behaviour management for group and individual behaviour
management
Various principle of group behaviour managements are as follows:
 Student who works in a group will be able to respect each other, respect each other
efforts while working in a team and also respect each other perceptions and value each
other’s work.
 Students will get to know each other skills as they are working in a group and also they
will get to know the ability by which other students work and it will encourage them to
do more hard work (Harrison and Oakland, 2015).
 It will bring lots of opportunities for them as while working in a team, various challenges
will be there which will provide lots of opportunities.
 It will also improve their behaviour, as working in a group will bring more
responsibilities and greater the responsibility greater the person’s efforts which bring new
talent and new skills.
Various principles for individual behaviour management are as follows:
7

 Develop ownership skills- While working individually, it will develop your ownership
skills as you are the owner of your work and you have to take the responsibility and put
extra efforts towards your work.
 Involvement of individual- As you are the owner of your work then you have to be take
more involvement and personalise the things so that it will help you to make your work
complete on time.
 Developing new skills- It will help you to develop new skills as you are working
individually which means you have to put extra efforts in that. This will help you to
develop new skills (Kim, et. al., 2015).
 Motivation- You will remain motivated towards your work as you will be keen to finish
your work on time and also you will try to give your best performance which make you
remain motivated towards your work.
E. Analyse the theories of behaviour management.
Ensure to include the following:
 Include at least 3 of the following factors :(previous experience, individual needs,
threat, fear of change, conflict).
 Include at least 4 of the following Group behaviours:(group dynamics, hierarchies,
group size, control, shared ownership, Tuckman’s group formation, Belbin’s team
roles)
 Include the following theories: (Maslow’s Theory of Basic Needs, Herzberg’s
Motivational Theory).
Theories of behaviour management are as follows:
 Maslow’s Theory of Basic Needs- it is known to be one of the best theories of the world.
Maslow states that people always looking for something more in their life and the things
that they want more is totally depending on the thing they are having currently (Yusoff,
et. al., 2013). Maslow states that there are many needs of the people and one of the basic
needs for any person is Psychological needs. Students keen to focus on their needs and
8

try to fulfil their individual needs.
 Herzberg’s Motivational Theory- it is also known as the two-factor theory. Herzberg
started with the idea that job satisfaction is very much needed in every person's life. He
analyzes the fact that people like to listen their appreciation for their work and as a result
they remain motivated towards their work. Students who got appreciation for their work
helps them it boost their confidence and skills.
F. Evaluate the effectiveness of your use of creative and innovative approaches to manage
the learning environment. (First mention at least 4 approaches you used and highlight
the strengths and areas of development for each approach)
Four approaches to manage the learning environment are as follows:
 Build relationship with students- Teachers try to build a healthy relationship with their
students so that they will get to know them personally. It will help the teachers to
communicate with their students and by which they will able to know their weaknesses
and strengths.
 Address students needs- Students have various needs which have to be address by the
teacher and whenever teachers address their needs they will be happier. Due to which
they will be able to remain more focus towards their studies
 Always avoid judging- when students get to know that they are judging by their skills,
they started feeling de-motivated. As every student have different skills, and according
to that they do their work. Students get de-motivated very quickly which resulted in loss
of self-confidence.
 Bring new activities- Always try to bring new activities in the class, this will maintain
the healthy environment in the class. As a result, students will feel more comfortable
because of friendly environment and they will able to learn new things quickly.

Task 5:
B. Use your research and practical examples to provide a written analysis of the role and
use of initial and diagnostic assessment in agreeing individual learning goals with your
learners. Explain why it is important to identify and meet the individual needs of your
selected learners
Initial assessment is the process in which they identify the individuals learning and after that
support them by providing various learning programme. They analyze the learner’s need first and
according to that provide various functions like various skills, competence and knowledge which
is very helpful for a new learner. Another need which a learner wants is support so that they do
not have to face many barriers in their learning programme. Initial assessment always a critical
process because it is the first step of learning process and the future is depend on the initial
assessment (Fletcher, et. al., 2018). Motivation plays an important role in the initial assessment
as it is the initial stage in which students are not that motivated towards learning new
programmes and as a result motivation is needed. Motivation encourages them to remain focus
and learn new skills and new programmes. Learning goals cannot be achieved if the individual is
not fully motivated therefore motivation has a huge impact in achieving learning goals.
Diagnostic assessment is a process in which teacher get to know about the qualities of students
like their strengths, weaknesses, skills and their knowledge. According to that teacher can assign
work to the student and they will know which student needed support and which student will
work on their own (Freeman and Lewis, 2016). There are lots of benefits of Diagnostic
assessment which are as follows:
 First benefit is teachers have the knowledge about the strengths and weakness of the
students and according to that they can give support.
 Teacher can work on student’s weakness so that it will boost their confidence
 Teachers know the skills of the students and as a result they will help them to improve
their skills if someone has lacking in their skills.
Therefore, role of initial and diagnostic assessment is much needed in achieving learning
objectives of individuals.
10

It is important to identify and meet the individual needs because it will help the learners to gain
new knowledge and also improve their skills. As the learners are in their initial stage so it is very
necessary to improve their skills and provide them efficient knowledge which will help them in
their better future. Due to which they will remain motivated towards their goals and remain focus
on giving their best efforts. Individuals also looks to fulfil their specific needs as without
fulfilling their needs, they will not be able to remain motivated towards their work. If individuals
need get fulfilled then they will get more motivated towards their work. It will help the
individuals to achieve their learning objectives. Individuals in their initial stage gets distracted by
many things and they cannot fully concentrate on their learning objectives. At that point of time
motivation plays an important role, it motivates the individuals to remain motivated towards their
learning objectives. As a result, individual remain motivated and achieve the learning objectives.
It is important to identify and meet the individual’s needs because there are lots of benefits of
that and these are as follows:
 Improving and achieving quality- In the classroom, there are different types of children.
Some of them are quick learners who can learn things very quickly but some of them are
slow learners who take time to learn new things. Every student has different abilities and
different skills and their performance based on their skills. When the teacher identifies
the strength and weakness of those students it will help them to improve the quality. As
the teacher ensures that students who are slow learners will not left behind so they have
to teach in a way that every student will achieve their learning objectives.
 Developing new talents- In the classroom, students are very young and they are
developing their skills but they are not that experience to find out their actual talent. In
this scenario teacher identifies their skills and they are experience enough to guide those
students to develop their talents and wider their skills. Teachers give them a big support
so that those students can work on their skills and challenge them to so that they can
grow their skills more (Kornhauser, et. al., 2014). This helps the learners to develop their
talents and become a successful person in the future. Teachers always try to make their
students confident enough to face new challenges and this will bring new opportunities
and result in developing new talent.
 Creating Interest- Whenever teacher motivates some students it will boost their
confidence and encourage them to focus on their learning objectives. In some cases,
11

teacher will not able to direct every student and in that scenario some students need
instruction from teacher personally. But lacking of that result in demotivating the
students from their learning objectives. If teacher give instructions to every student
personally then it will encourage them to do hard work towards their goals. It will
motivate them to achieve their learning objectives and developing their new skills and
abilities.
 Planning activities in classroom- Once the teacher gets friendly with the students then
they will get to know the strength and weakness of every students. They also get to know
the likes and dislike of those students so according to that they can organize various
activities in the classroom. It will help the students to get familiar with every one with
the help of the activity. Also, it will help every student to learn new things with the help
of various activities as students get to learn new things quickly with the help of
activities. This is because students take more interest in the activities as compare to the
theories and this will help them to achieve new skills and learn new things quickly.
Activities will be based on students need, through activities teacher can work on
students’ skills and help the students to develop their skills
 Organizing the classroom and maintain a learning environment- When the teacher
identifies the characteristics of every student, they will get to know the fact that which
student is a slow learner or which is a quick learner. According to that teacher have to
organizing the seating management in such a way that students who are slow learners
can sit with quick learners (Darling-Hammond, et. al., 2014). This will help the students
to interact with each other and help the students to develop their learning skills. Teachers
can give instructions personally to those students who are slow earners. This will help
encourage those students and boost their confidence s that they can work on their skills
and enhance their skills.
As we all know that education plays an important role in everyone’s life, education is the base in
every student’s life and getting right and proper education help them to achieve success in their
life. It is an important task for every teacher to meet students need but this will help the students
in becoming more active and confident. Identifying student’s skills is very much needed because
now teacher can help the students to enhance their skills and support them in achieving their
objectives. Every student has different abilities, some are good at certain thins while some are
