Laissez Faire teaching behaviour

1. LAISSEZ FAIRE – TEACHING BEHAVIOUR Laissez faire teaching behaviour and class management style is the direct opposite of autocratic teaching behaviour and class management style. Instead of a single person making all decisions for an educational organization, group or team of students, laissez faire educational authority or teacher makes few decisions and their students and subordinates to choose appropriate working solutions.

2. Laissez faire is also known as ‘ delegative teaching behaviour and class management style’. It is a method that assesses the unique talents of each students and assigns responsibility accordingly. In other words, as long as the actions of a student are not adversely affecting the institution, students are allowed to use their all skills and ideas to complete their tasks how they see fit.

3. The laissez faire teacher is not very involved in the classroom. This teacher places few demands, if any, on the students and appears generally uninterested. The laissez faire teacher just does not want to impose on the students. As such, he often feels that class preparation is not worth the effort.

4. Thus, we have seen that the laissez faire teaching style gives authority to students. A laissez faire teacher lacks direct supervision of his students and fails to provide regular feedback to those under his supervision. Highly experienced and trained students requiring little supervision fall under the laissez faire teaching style.

5. Characteristics of laissez faire teaching behaviour # The teacher accepts the students’ impulses and actions and is less likely to monitor their behaviour . # The teacher strives not to hurt the students’ feelings and has difficulty saying no or enforcing rules.

6. # If a student disrupts the class, the teacher may assume that the student is not getting enough attention. # When a student interrupts a lecture, the teacher accepts the interruption with the belief that the student must surely have something valuable to add.
