Education QUESTION #6896
Question 1
A student disrupts others during a group activity and the teacher states: 'If you continue to disrupt the group, you will work alone for the rest of the session.' This consequence is applied after a prior agreement with the student. According to Dreikurs' model, this is BEST described as which type of consequence?
  • Punitive consequence applied to reinforce teacher authority
  • Negative reinforcement designed to extinguish disruptive behavior
  • A logical consequence with a direct, meaningful connection to the misbehavior✔️
  • An assertive discipline intervention based on Canter's model
Correct Answer Explanation
A logical consequence, as defined by Dreikurs, has a clear, rational connection to the misbehavior — if you disrupt the group, you lose the privilege of being in the group. It is not arbitrary punishment; it must be pre-discussed and agreed upon, and it must directly relate to what the student did. This makes it educationally meaningful rather than merely punitive.
