los educadores, figuras paternas sustitutas, pueden servir de auxilio como modelos de identificación, comprender o poner límites necesarios, cosa que no siempre ocurre, puesto que estos muchas veces se sienten amedrentados y arrasados por la violencia del joven, que a su vez ha sido víctima de la deprivación afectiva o ambiental.

Hace unos años, bastaba que en el parte de amonestaciones dijera, por ejemplo, que el hijo había faltado al respeto para que el padre tomara cartas en el asunto. Hoy debemos comunicar en detalle lo ocurrido, fundamentar por qué esa conducta no es correcta, explicar los pros y los contras de ese comportamiento y cómo podrá afectar negativamente el futuro del hijo”.

Motivation and teacher's attitude

Kathie Nunley reports:

It probably comes as no surprise to most educators that students’ motivation in a class is highly influenced by their previous

emotional experiences with that subject.  Unfortunately, until recently, little research has been conducted on the importance of teacher’s enthusiasm  for teaching and teacher’s personal enjoyment of teaching.  An interesting  international research co-operative is focusing on the importance of teacher enjoyment among math teachers.  When teachers enjoy teaching math and their students perceive that they are enthused about their subject, the students also enjoy the subject more, form more positive emotions about math, and are more apt to pursue additional course work. Frenzel, A., et al.  (2009). Journal of Educational Psychology, 101, (3), 705-716

Not surprising, but nice to see some research confirming what we teachers have always wanted to believe in! ;-)
