  1. Goals of Misbehaviour

  2. The Four Goals Misbehaviour – Rudolf Dreikurs • ATTENTION • POWER • REVENGE • DISPLAY OF INADEQUACY

  3. ATTENTION • Occurs when a student feels that the recognition that they deserve is not being given • The student’s sense of belonging and acceptance is derived from the attention of others • The student is not attempting to hurt or control • The student attains attention through annoying or disruptive behaviour

  4. Teacher Reaction to Attention • Teacher is frustrated, irritated and annoyed • Usually the teacher gives the student the required attention and the behaviour stops for the moment, but then continues again • The teacher here is being trained by the student, i.e. short-term gratification for short-term stoppage of misbehaviour

  5. Power • The student believes that importance is derived when in control of a situation or others • Student displays temper tantrums, crying, arrogant voice and body language when talking back, contradicts, or challenges the teacher or other students • The students when asked to stop will continue to misbehave giving the teacher the message that the teacher will have to engage in a power struggle to eliminate the behaviour

  6. Teacher Reaction to Power • Teacher feels it is an attack on the teacher’s position of authority • Teacher is threatened or embarrassed • Anger is often a method the teacher uses to overpower the student i.e. If you don’t stop, I will send you to the office.

  7. Revenge • The student feels that by hurting others emotionally or physically that they are important • This type of behaviour is cyclical since the student sets up to be punished and the hurt of the punishment renews the motivation to seek revenge

  8. Teacher Reaction to Revenge • The teacher feels hurt and humiliated • When the student’s behaviour is severe enough the teacher feels repulse • Students are often suspended, given more dire punishments and denied privileges for extended periods of time

  9. Display of Inadequacy • The student feels helpless and without academic, physical or emotions skills or abilities • There is usually minimal or no effort in all aspects of school work • The student does not stop the teacher from teaching or other students from learning

  10. Teacher Reaction to Display of Inadequacy • The teacher gives up on the student by decreasing expectations • The student is usually ignored, forgotten or treated with indifference • Teacher often states, “When you are ready to work, let me know.” or “If you don’t try, why should I?’
