"GOOD BEHAVIOR GAME" PROGRAM IN THE SECOND CLASSES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL IN SLOVAKIA. EXPECTATIONS AND EXPERIENCES OF TEACHERS IMPLEMENTING THE PROGRAM IN SECOND CLASSES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL IN SLOVAKIA.
Abstract
Authors describe the collaborative learning strategies and basic procedures before and during the realization of the Good Behavior Game program in the second classes of primary school in Slovakia. The article was funded by the project VEGA No. 1/0223/16 The discipline management in the classroom at primary school. The research team, in the first stage, was studying teachers opinions on unwanted pupil behaviour. Following the partial project results, the second stage of the project was focused on the selection of an optimal model of classroom management. The Good Behavior Game was chosen within the search for an optimal model of discipline management in the classroom at the primary school. It was developed at the University of Ohio and modified by the authors for Slovak school system conditions. The goal of the game is to reduce distraction in class and aggression of pupils. Its essence lies in competing of standing groups in classroom behaviour, getting the rewards and privileges that pupils gain for desirable behaviour. The authors also present the expectations and experiences of two teachers who implemented the program in secondary classes.
