Case Study

 

The problem to be studied:

Tamim is a very stubborn student, he plays a lot with tools that distract him from studying, he destroys the tools and property of the class, he speaks in a language that is not completely correct, he is quick to get frustrated and angry, he responds to reinforcement a little and then goes back to his abusive action again, while punishment is completely useless and he does not respond to it.

The teacher contacted the student's mother and told her about the problems she was facing with Tamim in the classroom. The mother only responded by agreeing that her son was stubborn and difficult to deal with. The teacher also found that the mother's language was not sound, and it turned out that she was bilingual.

Usually in public schools, students with offensive and immoral behavior are not accepted, but the student Tamim is a Qatari citizen, so his admission to the school is inevitable because he is Qatari[صبحيه1] . Whether or not admission to the school is based on nationality regardless of the behavioral aspect of the student is an unfair decision for teachers and unfair for students.

The teacher referred the student to the department supervisor, so he behaved well at first, then returned worse than it was. The psychologist came and took action with him to deter him from the abuse he was doing and destroying class tools and property. He did not respond either. He soiled the classroom wall and tore down the paper board attached to the students' work. The teacher had no choice but to refer him to the social worker.

 

 

The guardian (the father) was contacted, and it turned out that the student loved his kindergarten in which he was studying, and he did not accept his transfer from kindergarten to school. Accordingly, he took the opposite reaction, which included stubbornness, anger, and refraining from dissolving the book and destroying the school's property. The father added that he sat with his son and tried to support, strengthen and praise him for being a good boy and not doing wrong, but the student still continues with his reprehensible behavior.

Whether or not admission to the school is based on nationality, regardless of the behavioral aspect of the student, is a decision that revolves around the Anchoring Trap.

Daily Action

Day 1 Make use of what you learned today I will  consult others about the problems I face, in order for this to help me in expanding the range of my solutions and seeing the problem from different angles and different points of view. This may also help me in increasing the probability of the correctness of the decisions I make. Day 2 Taking advantage of what I learned today, I will focus on the hidden traps that we often fall into unconsciously while making decisions, and to avoid every hidden trap I will take advantage of the instructions I have learned to avoid falling into it, such as asking myself if I had an alternative to the status quo, would I have already taken it or would I replace it ? Day3  The thing I learned today and will start working on is to organize tasks from most urgent to least important and least urgent. I will organize my to-do list based on this from now on. Day4 What I learned today and will apply is the method of analyzing the problem with the five (...

Daily Reflection

  Day 1      I enjoyed the first sessions of this course, and I learned how discussion and sharing help us frame the problem and thus help us solve it. Sharing also helps us broaden the point of view and helps us see the problem in a more comprehensive manner. For me, I can arrange the six points related to areas for leadership in descending order as follows  (from strongest to least powerfu l): 1- Setting strategic direction.  2- Building relationships.  3- Leading for learning.  4- Ensuring accountabilities.  5- Developing People. 6- leading the organization.   Day 2      As we learned today: There are hidden traps that unconsciously influence our decision making regarding the problems we face. Sometimes relying on it is correct, according to the merits of the problem, and sometimes it is a major obstacle to making the right decision without our knowing... These traps are: The Anchoring Trap.  The Sta...
