The unexpected

"The gods we reserve many surprises: the expected
often not achieved, while the unexpected
that paves the way for a god."

10 seconds of Russell Barkley

Russel Barkley is an American psychiatrist of international renown who is the study of Attention Deficit Disorder and Hyperactivity Disorder, otherwise known as ADHD. During a conference on the theme, held in Vicenza on 25 and February 26, Barkley has presented three very detailed reports, from which emerged very interesting food for thought. In particular, Barkley has touched on some recent scientific evidence, which reveal a significant correlation between ADHD and deficits in executive functioning and emotional nell'autoregolazione. Were given many suggestions on how to tackle the operational at school these issues, but now I will touch on some considerations useful for routine daily reports We adults with children / young people, especially with regard to the awards-punishment system .

I was very impressed when the prof. Barkley explained that the time that must elapse between a failure and reproach, so this is really effective in terms of behavior, must not exceed 10 seconds ...!

In fact, children of my generation learned in a short time and at their expense that whenever he found something that combined the full approval of the mother, the fatal consequence would be a slap direct and immediate: the signal and physically disapproval fell within the parental education program. The character of such a coherent and consistent punishment was that of immediacy. Then, later, he would have spoken, and after the indictment detailed and the necessary defense, there was imposed the appropriate sanction (in bed before Carousel!).

Beyond the abrupt way linked to the historical context, the two different times, the reproach and the "punishment", we were very clear: the punishment related to the immediate rebuke fell like a bolt from the blue to emphasize the disapproval of the impropriety of our action, while the punishment was something that came later, still bowling.

The question then arises naturally: what will be, in our schools, the punishment truly effective if the sentence actually passed the boy reached only after days and even weeks or months from the time when the said event occurred? Of course I'm not talking about corporal punishment, God forbid, but the fact remains that we must ask ourselves about the most effective ways to help children to recognize and change behavior is not acceptable. Our action must play it first character education. Even the same notes in the booklet or on the register does not express a punishment in itself, but rather the memory of an event that will be waiting for a penalty. And the penalty will be, after called the class council, well over 10 seconds.

The challenge then becomes to be able to effectively balance the educational purpose rebuke of the remedial order and copy of the sanction as a result of antisocial behavior.

Reaffirming that the immediacy of feedback is the key to the discipline, Professor. Barkley gives us some guidance in this regard: for example, direct calls and private, or to perform a task on a bench in the back where the student tells what he did wrong and give an assessment, or writes a number of reasons in under which should not make that type of conduct. In severe cases, the student is suspended on the spot by the activities of the class and taken to a place of "cool" to be defined in advance.

But, added the professor. Barkley, all this must happen within the education system based on incentives, where the relationship between awards and punishments imposed is at least 2:1. Barkley suggested to increase the awards in the event of correct behavior, show appreciation in moments of good work in class or in respect of those who behave well and adopt a system of tokens or points to be increased in case of performances positive o da decrementare in caso di negative; introdurre lavori di gruppo con le relative premiazioni; organizzare le attività della classe in modo da consentire un frequente accumulo di premi; usare una tabella di rilevazione quotidiana dove registrare i punteggi per esempio sulla partecipazione in classe, l’esecuzione dei compiti in classe, il rispetto delle regole della classe, l’accordo e la collaborazione con i compagni, l’esecuzione dei compiti a casa.

Sono indicazioni di cui far tesoro, sicuramente da adattare alle singole realtà anche rispetto all’età dei ragazzi e al tipo di responsabilità loro richiesta, ma preziose in quanto ci aiutano a tener conto e ad approfondire alcuni meccanismi di risposta che non sempre ci sono noti. Una riflessione al riguardo sarà indispensabile anche a livello di Consiglio di Istituto nel momento della elaborazione del nuovo Regolamento di Disciplina.

45 YEARS AGO: RECOMMENDATIONS TO TEACHERS COLLEGE

Collegio dei Professori, Camposampiero, 11 novembre 1966.  

Preside prof.  Antonio Dalla Zuanna


"Il Preside ha messo in rilievo l'importanza e la delicatezza della funzione svolta dall'Insegnante, therefore hoped that the teaching should not be left to the improvisation of the moment, but is instead the result of ongoing preparation and updating, are always sought the most appropriate means for interested students to adapt to their mentality, to understand their attitudes. The teacher is responsible for preparing a lesson well done always wins and the boredom of the indiscipline and master students of the class who is master of the subject they teach.

So focused on rules regarding school performance and discipline. In particular, the Dean asked the teachers to respect for punctuality and so to avoid unnecessary absences, do not ask for substitutions to colleagues, and for not causing harm to students. The Dean continued praying all teachers work together for the good name of the school, each within its commitment not to betray the trust of the families. Although it is true that the Dean of protection and spread the good reputation of the School, however, are the teachers who must make efficient.

At this point it should be remembered as the talents of each teacher, including: equanimity and respect for the students, knowing how to enliven the lesson, stimulating the interest of boys and keep the discipline . Each teacher will have to especially worry about disciplina dei propri alunni, controllando il comportamento collettivo e vigilando sugli atteggiamenti dei singoli. Durante l’intervallo, i professori di turno devono fare un’oculata sorveglianza in modo che gli alunni non facciano giochi pericolosi. La puntualità, il senso d’equilibrio, la serenità dimostrata dai professori costituiranno i presupposti migliori  per creare un’atmosfera di fiducia reciproca tra docenti e discenti. La disciplina sarà facilitata dalla costante presenza dei Professori nella classe, che sarà raggiunta il più celermente possibile al cambio dell'ora, evitando così che gli alunni rimangano a lungo soli. Si farà in modo di evitare di far uscire gli alunni nei corridoi prima of 10:45 for any reason.

Professors are asked not to exceed the punishment, and in any case it is recommended that these do not affect the rate of profit, but rather in the conduct, the professors are also asked to be considerate and respectful of the conscience of the pupils and avoid anything that might be cause for anxiety.

Concluding Dean has strongly called on teachers to be concerned in correcting homework, preparing for each lesson, keeping up to date by the use of journals and other teaching aids, not just for a better set of classroom work but also for a deeper personal preparation.


It's all too easy and obvious connection between the latter post. Today, as fifty years ago, has felt the urgent and pressing need for training and upgrading of teachers in . Only teachers trained and continuously updated will calmly and effectively deal with one of the most beautiful and exciting work but also among the most difficult and risky: the hand to accompany the child becomes a man.
