How should a teacher deal with students who are distracted in her class ?

  • A.Offer material rewards for every class that they are attentive in
  • B.Give them severe punishment
  • C.Call the parents and threaten to give severe punishment to the children
  • D.Divide the class into manageable groups and let them learn cooperatively

Answer: D

The teacher should divide the class into manageable groups and let them learn cooperatively.

Distraction usually means the task is not engaging the student. Small-group cooperative learning gives each child an active role, more chances to talk and do, and peers who keep the group on task, so attention improves without coercion.

The other options are poor practice. Material rewards for every attentive class make attention depend on an external reward and fade when the reward stops. Severe punishment, or threatening it through parents, creates fear and resentment; corporal punishment and mental harassment are prohibited under the Right to Education Act 2009.
