What do we want to achieve regarding primary skill development (student understanding and/or behaviour)?

  1. Understanding level: By using the technique regularly and consciously, we want to achieve that:
  • they consider their classmates’ thoughts valuable.
  • children think and act in a way that learn that approach different from their own should not be rejected but rather viewed as a source of inspiration.
  • understand to react constructively to others’ thoughts and actions without causing hurt.
  • understand that there can be several correct answers, feelings, or thoughts regarding a problem (or the topic of a poster)
  • they understand that a difference of opinion is a natural thing.
  1. Behaviour level:
  • they learn to listen patiently to another person without interrupting.
  • they dare to stand up for their own opinion, even if it differs from the majority.
  • they are able to react to their peers’ work in a constructive, encouraging, and respectful way.
