I’ve always been brought up with the assumption that if you do something wrong, it is up to me as a teacher, as a parent, as a community member to point it out so you realize what you did wrong and thus correct your actions. However, in talking w/ my curriculum and instructions professor, I realize that system relies heavily upon an external moderator always telling you if something is done wrong. What happens if there is a situation w/ no external moderator? The importance of an internal moderator was definitely highlighted. So then I challenged the practice of not acting as a negative external moderator upon my students. After a brief discussion, I’m now chewing over the idea of dancing around the negative point and leading the student to the inevitable conclusion themselves, and thus allowing them to develop their own internal moderator. It sure doesn’t seem as easy as just pointing out the student’s mistake… but really what done well is done easily in life?
