Learner Profiles“The Three Types of Students”Mr. JohnstonSaigon South International School
Are there only three types of student?Are there not many different
students in the classroom?Why is it important to talk about
this?
The Truly self-motivated studentLoves to learnEnjoys coming to
schoolGoes above and
beyond what is expected.
Has highly refined thinking skills
ParticipatesIs well organizedConsiderate of others
The Truly self-motivated student will..Enjoy the process of learning, and good
grade follows.Think critically about a range of problemsApply what they’ve learned to many
situations. Take an active interest in changing the world
for the better with leadership and example
The “Go through the Motion” StudentThink their future
is solely dependent on grades.
Think success is about passing tests memorizing facts.
See knowledge as a loose body of facts with no connectivity.
The “Go through the Motion” student will..Doesn’t mind hurting others if it’s
justified.As an adult, will probably believe
that “money can buy happiness”.Is often depressed, and feels
“overworked”
The “Tune out” students…Think school is
less interesting than their phone or IPOD
See school as irrelevant to their lives and waste of time
Don’t care and don’t put much effort into learning.
The “Tune Out” students…Need to IM, chat, live on their cell
phones, and buy things to rectify feelings of low self esteem and self worth.
Are more susceptible to dropping out, delinquency, drug abuse.
Cannot make informed choices in the future leading to a successful life of merit.
Many adults are becoming this way too….http://www.storyofstuff.com/
The choice is yours! But think when:Parents
Teachers
Friends
Want to “reward” you with money for grades. (What message are you learning?)
That put too much emphasis on the grade and not learning
Are these the people you want to be like?
DON’T BE LIKE THE DONKEY WHO FOLLOWS THE CARROT FOR REWARD!
•Grades for money•New technological fads•New brand names•Cannot see the “system” or the wire that is holding up the carrot.
Final Survey: How many people in this class do you think:Are “Truly
Motivated” students?
Are “Go through the Motions” students?
Are “Tune Out” students?
Where are you?Are you happy
with where you are?
If you are not happy, what is your plan to get to the group where you want to be? (Set a goal)
