Essay 1 (5000 words)

Critically evaluate two of the behaviour theories we have explored on the course. Consider how these theories might support staff in understanding behaviour and explore practical strategies to supporting behaviour related to these theories.

Learning outcomes assessed:

Understand a range of theories on behaviour
Demonstrate awareness of a range of approaches to managing behaviour in schools and consider their use
Engage critically with research and literature on behaviour
Analyse, evaluate and reflect on current strategies, approaches and practices concerning behaviour within an educational context
Demonstrate professional skills in addressing behaviour in schools
Systematically gather evidence and use data for analysis, identification of key issues and development of professional practice

Suggested outline

Please note that this outline is given as a suggestion only, you may want to structure your work in a different way.

Introduction

150 words

A good introduction will show you understand the issues around the question – e.g. competing ideas and values about behaviour, different perspectives on the nature of children – and how this means there are a range of overlapping and competing theories about behaviour.

Wider theoretical context

750 words

In this section you could discuss:

Definitions of inclusion;
Definitions of challenging behaviour and how these are socially constructed;
Models of disability;
Socially constructed ideas about children, childhood, relationships with adults etc

You need to ensure that you critically evaluate these ideas, and that you support your writing with references to relevant literature.

Theories of behaviour

1850 words

Remember that you are looking at two theories. You may choose contrasting or complementary theories. For each theory:

Key theorists and research that helped to develop the theory;
Key points of the theories;
How the theory might support staff in understanding behaviour;
Whether the theory is supported by any policies (e.g. Behaviour in Schools, 2018)
A critical evaluation of the theory

In this section, you need to offer some comparison of the two theories. You could do this as you go, or you might present each theory individually and then have a comparison section.

Approaches to supporting behaviour

2000 words

Using ideas from the theories outlined above:

Explore practices that might support behaviour (this could be specific strategies, or general principles);
Give a critical evaluation of the practices;
Use current literature to support your ideas in this section; what does research tell us about the strategies you are suggesting?

Remember that you need to give some level of analysis in this section, and the previous section. This could mean using one of the ideas outlined in your first section (definitions of inclusion, models of disability etc) to help you discuss the theories and strategies you are presenting.

Conclusion

250 words

Draw together your key ideas and summarise your main argument. Do not introduce anything new.
