How should teachers communicate well with their students?
Emphasizing that the teacher should give equal right of answer to each student in order to encourage the whole class to success, Asst. Prof. Dr. Derya Kavgaoğlu said, “For this, if necessary, it should change the style of addressing, the way of asking questions, and express the student in a way that he/she understands.”
Asst. Prof. Dr. Derya Kavgaoğlu from Istanbul Gelisim University made statements about how teachers should communicate with their students in a healthy way. Asst. Prof. Dr. Derya Kavgaoğlu said: “If the teacher has a habit of both asking and answering the question, it leaves a very depressing effect on the students. The student of a teacher who has this habit does not dare to express it even if he knows the answer to the question. Because he is sure that he will not be given the right to speak. It is also difficult to encourage the student in this situation to express what he knows. As long as the teacher continues to behave in this way, the student's negative behaviors such as not being able to express himself - not being able to express himself, silence, staying passive also reinforce.” “REINFORCES CARELESS STUDENT BEHAVIOR” Kavgaoğlu said: “Teachers should not ask them over and over again, assuming that students do not understand the question they ask, or thinking that the question will become clearer. This habit reinforces careless student behavior. The student is conditioned to catch the answer either cognitively or intuitively, instead of listening to the question when the question is asked. It should also be kept in mind that this habit causes a waste of time and will not be an option to assist the teacher in effective classroom management. Question repetition should be avoided except in exceptional cases, such as inadequate sound system, questions that are too complex to be understood at the first time, or if the questions are written to the student.”
