Scolding and punishing students is indeed the least considered approach in the teaching-learning process.
Research has consistently shown that punitive measures, such as scolding and punishing, can have negative effects on students' motivation, self-esteem, and academic performance. Instead, educators focus on creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment that fosters:
1. Positive relationships
2. Emotional safety
3. Active engagement
4. Constructive feedback
5. Student-centered learning
By adopting a more holistic and student-centered approach, educators can promote a love of learning, encourage social-emotional growth, and help students develop into capable and confident individuals.
