Rudolf Dreikurs theory "THE SOCIAL DISCIPLINE MODEL"

1. How this theory applies to our daily nursing practice? minimum 100

Answer 1

Dreikurs believed all behavior is :

• Orderly

• Purposeful

• Directed toward achieving social approval

Dreikurs’ Social Discipline model uses the four basic premises of Adler’s theories, concluding:

• human are social beings and belonging is the most basic motivator

• all behaviors have a purpose

• human beings are decision-makers

• we only perceive reality and our perception may be either mistaken or biased.

Dreykuls famously insisted that child misconduct has a specific purpose and promotes logical consequences in reward or punishment. Dreykuls believes that children are seeking their place in the group, and some children have concluded that the only way to play a role in the group is to misbehave in order to maintain their position. Then, Dreikurs developed some techniques to redirect and resolve inappropriate behavior.

*He suggests that :

• Requires a dedicated democratic teaching and classroom style

• May be difficult to implement with students who display the most difficult behavioral tendencies

*Four main causes of misbehavior were identified by Dreikurs

• Attention-seeking

• Student wants to be noticed

• Power-seeking

• Student wants to impose their will

• Revenge-seeking

• The student is looking for retribution

• Failure-avoidance

• The student will feel inadequate

The theory states that all actions of the child are linked to the need for belonging to the group

*Dreikurs identified two types of consequences

• Logical: Typically require students to make right what they have done wrong

• Natural: Results that naturally follow the behavior

Causes of Misbehavior

• Avoid power struggles with students

• Allow the student to participate in making decisions

• Take positive steps to prevent undesired behavior

• Setup instances in the class where students can display their talents and strengths

• This will aid in helping students experience acceptance

• The ideas presented in the book were based upon the work of Dreikurs' mentor, Alfred Adler

Dreikurs did not believe it to be an effective method of discipline

• Viewed it as an act of revenge taken by the teacher

• Believed it was humiliating to students

As a nurse, we must understand the child’s misbehavior at an early stage, and plan to achieve the wrong goal or understand the wrong goal as a useful goal.

Through the application of this model, we can understand children’s motives and help them understand their own motives and help them understand the consequences of each action

We can apply this theory to nursing to form good behavioral habits for children, and prevent misbehavior and discipline problems by using effective and good communication methods, thereby promoting good discipline and prevention in future life Observe discipline and avoid children's revenge.

This way we can establish and promote good behaviors among children and prevent misbehaviour
