Study Notes
Symbolic Interactionism and Teaching
- Symbolic interactionism considers the symbols and details of everyday life, their meanings, and how people interact with each other.
- Teachers' strict behavior can be seen as an expression of care or limiting students' moves and desires.
- Meaning can change as individuals interact with one another, such as changing the perception of a hospital from a negative to a positive one.
Implications to Teaching
- Promote genuine interaction among students, teachers, and between students and teachers.
- Interaction includes reading, listening, viewing, and considering others' views and meanings.
- Use positive symbols, such as gestures, words, actions, and appearances, to express trust, belief in students' abilities, and affirmation of their being.
Banking Method
- The teacher claims authority, and students are seen as objects.
- Advantages of the banking method:
- Teacher control, especially for managing poorly behaved classes.
- Reproduction of traditional values and culture without room for questioning.
- Direct instruction is necessary for certain topics, such as fire and workplace safety.
- Some students appreciate structured learning.
Disadvantages of Banking Method
- Lack of critical thinking, as students are expected to accept teachers' words as unquestionable truth.
Teachers as Agents of Change
- Teachers should lead society rather than follow it, making important choices in economics, politics, and morality.
- Schools should provide equal learning opportunities to all students and work for social improvement rather than preserving the status quo.
- Problem-solving should be the dominant method for instruction.
- There is a cultural lag between material progress and social institutions and ethical values.
