Rogerian Theory EDUC 408 Manhattan College School of Education An Interactive Adventure in Learning
Key Components • Based on the work of Thomas Gordon • Interpreted by Carl Rogers • Relationship-Listening face of Discipline • All students are inherently good • Teacher supports student • Student solves his/her own problem
Rogerians Believe: • All students are inherently good. • If a student acts “bad” it is because they have an inner conflict or are “flooded”. • Student solving their own problems will build self-image. • By using these techniques teachers are supporting students to grow in a secure environment as whole people.
Rogerian’s Therapeutic Concepts • Relationship-Listening Face • Focuses on Self-Concept • Emotional Development
The Teacher’s Role • Teacher is supposed to act as only a guide for the student when solving a problem. • They are there to support the student through emotional development. • They are the supportive, non-critical facilitator.
Key Components • Who owns the problem? • T.B.C. using T.E.T. • Three Spheres of Relationships
Who Owns the Problem?The Student • Behaviors indicate a conflict (internal or external) • i.e.- picked last for teams • Teacher should use: critical listening door openers active listening
Who Owns the Problem?The Teacher • Students behavior has a direct impact on the teacher • i.e. student interrupts • Teacher should use: -”I” messages - critical listening - active listening - door openers
Incorporating Teacher Effectiveness Training into the TBC • Looking on • Non directive statements • Directive Statements • Reinforcement
Looking On • Critical Listening • Acknowledgement-type responses (gestures)
Non-directive Statements • Active listening (mirroring feelings) • I- messages
Questions • Door Openers ~ (are you angry about something?)
Directive Statements • Influencing • *** these can be seen as road-blocks and are only used in dangerous situations
Modeling • ‘No-lose’ problem solving • Six Steps to Problem Solving • Daily actions
Reinforcement • Reinforcements, both positive and negative, are seen as a manipulation and misuse of power
Physical Intervention/Isolation • Use of physical intervention such as removing a disruptive child from class is not dealt with within T.E.T. • The only time either should be used is when students are endangering themselves or others. • Using isolation or intervention to coerce students would be an extreme form of “roadblock” communication which would be rejected by T.E.T.
