People are all different from each other. We have different positive and negative personality traits and behaviour patterns. We respond differently to the same circumstances. What pleases some does not necessarily please others. We perceive and process experiences differently.
In this paper, I present an example of good practice about how I deal with student diversity in the 7th grade and how I tackle the problem of motivation and discipline in different ways. Differences between students dictate the dynamics and way of working in a group that often strays in the wrong direction.
The question I am dealing with is how to ensure the motivation of students according to their abilities, personality traits and different interests. I begin to build the starting point on ways and methods of teaching that help me simplify matters and manage the situation. The essence of the educational process was to provide an optimal level of motivation based on the student's desires, personality traits, abilities and interests. The crucial fact of such an approach to teaching and learning is the creation of favourable conditions for the development of the student's strengths.
As a teacher, I have realized that diversity is present in all grades and that my success depends primarily on a positive approach to solving challenges. Positive energy is also felt by students, who consequently increase their interest in lessons as they begin to believe in themselves and their abilities. I share this kind of experience with colleagues and thus influence the professional development of the entire school staff.
