Did you know that fear of failure and embarrassment could be one of the main reasons why some of your students aren’t taking part in lessons? Some students are scared to take part because they don’t want to look foolish if they get an answer wrong in front of their peers.
Here is a quick and easy method to address a student’s lack of knowledge and encourage them to participate…
1. Ask the student a question at the start of the lesson related to the lesson content. (They will probably refuse to answer but that’s ok. It may be because they’re afraid of making a fool of themselves).
2. Take the pressure off them by offering them to nominate a friend who can help them answer the question or even answer it on their behalf. (This is much easy for them to do than answering the question – but the key is that they will still see themselves as being INVOLVED in the answering process).
3. Ask the student to paraphrase what their friend said so that they fully answer the question themselves.
4. Later in the lesson when other students are involved in independent study ask the student to answer the question for you again on a 1:1 basis.
Encourage them to break the answer down into clear steps so that they are totally sure of the process. Offer a little extra ‘in-depth’ information to add to their answer and ask them once more to show off their new knowledge and tell you ‘all they know’ about the subject. Congratulate them and tell them you will be asking them at the end of the lesson to repeat their answer to help the other students remember. (The extra ‘in-depth’ knowledge you’ve given them will give them the opportunity to shine if they wish).
5. At the end of the lesson let them leave on a high by answering the question in front of everyone as part of your plenary session.
6. At the start of NEXT LESSON ask them to answer the question as part of your starter.
Remember that you don’t need to limit this strategy to just one student during a lesson. You can feasibly have four or five students all leaving class feeling that they’ve actually learned something.
Giving your fearful, failing students a taste of success like this lets them to see the value in learning and enjoy a sense of achievement – essential factors for internal motivation.
