New Milestone in Education

In the clip we watched last week, there were a lot of students, many of whom had some problems. For example, Henritte seemed to be too silent and shy. Angellica was protesting to homework which she had to do. Suleyman was a troublemaker who created lots of problems in all teachers` classes. Esmeralda was too confident. Knoumba was too protesting because she had problems related to growing up. One of the students created his own style by wearing black and feeling different from the other people. Teacher had problems related to students in the cassroom, time management, authority and discipline. Then what the problem was and exactly what went wrong with the students.
Actually there is a lot of items of information to discuss and several reasons to talk about according to Thomas Ziehe. Nowadays we have seen that in fact we are moving from a norm-regulated form of society to prefarence-oriented society. It is seperated from high culture. In other words, u don`t have to read about Shakesphere since he is important for society. Now,in other words, the young people have more chance to opt out. They are free and liberal. They have the choice of focusing on high culture or not. It depends on them. As being a part of popular culture, they have the opportunity of avoiding the content which is not pleasent for them and pose a question of why do this, which is not so strange. For example, Angellica doesn`t want to write an autobiography like Annie Frankie did, which seems to be an unstrange body of knowledge for her and therefore she called the diary Annie Frankie wrote as `before my time` because the effect of high culture decreases. In addition to this, they create their own style. That`s to say, they become a part of detraditionalisation. They do something if it rings a bell in their mind.This also explains why one of the students want to wear black and become different from the society as an individual. As a teacher, u should in fact create self distance to everyday life, otherwise they will find `the important thing `for u to become as `out of their time` . You should provoke something strange to them so that they can deal with it and u shouldn`t agree on everything they want. If you do so, students like Suleyman will create problems in your class by being troblemakers since it seems for them u are not an authorative teacher. In this case, you should have a certain styles to get their self-world. It is important to avoid being friendly to students, not get closer to everyday life, have some structures rather than be informal. This also explains why Khoumba doesn`t do anything her teacher wants her to do. She gets angrier when her teacher talks about girls` period, which is important for her.In addition in a part of movie, a black student told that he didn`t eat with his friend`s mother since it seemed to be a kind of disobedience and immorality, which also shows that a teacher should be aware of different backgrounds in the class. It is also important for a teacher to provide motivation among students. It seems important for them how they have an image in their friends` eyes, which is called self-valuation. As a teacher, u should create an environment in which students are voluntary to demonstrate a will. Otherwise, they are going to be more reserved, shy, silent and response to questions with short answers like in Henritte`s case.

To sum up, as a teacher who will not want to have problems related to classroom management you should:

• be aware of your time schedule and plan your exercises in the class in advance,
• do some warm-up activities before passsing the topic so that they can be ready and find the content interesting for themselves,
• have an authority so that students respect you,
• create an environment in terms of motivation.
• be like a coach and guide who helps and shows how to catch a fish and teach with the aid which is called ZPD (zone of proximal development) ,
• be aware of their pschological and physical developments, levels, interests, and different backgrounds,
• teach them how to be respectful and kind to eachothers` rights,and
• be tolerant and patient enough to deal with your students` problems.
