A teacher often draws a shy student's attention to things she has done well, such as her neat project work and her help to classmates, so that she develops a positive identity. Which of the following is the direct effect of this approach?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → It increases her confidence in self.
Option (1) It sets up a trustful communication with the teacher. — Incorrect. Trustful communication is another approach of its own. It comes from open, honest talk between teacher and student.
Option (2) It builds her physical, social and vocational skills. — Incorrect. Skills grow when the student is given opportunities to develop them. That is a separate approach, and praising past work does not build new skills.
Option (3) It increases her confidence in self. — Correct. The teacher is accentuating positive life experiences. This builds a positive identity, and that increases confidence in self.
Option (4) It makes her goals specific and measurable. — Incorrect. Making goals specific and measurable is the goal-setting approach. Recalling good experiences says nothing about how her goals are framed.
