Cognitive-behavioral correlates of pupil control ideology

Abstract

Teacher’s pupil control ideology is a central feature for the quality of the teacher-student relationship, which, in turn, impacts the teacher’s level of well-being. The pupil control ideology refers to a teacher’s belief system along a continuum from humanistic to custodial views. Teachers with humanistic orientation view students as responsible and, therefore, they exert a lower degree of control to manage students’ classroom behaviors. Teachers with a custodial orientation view students as untrustworthy and, therefore, they exert a higher degree of control to manage students’ classroom behaviors. The relationship between pupil control ideology and dysfunctional beliefs originated from the cognitive-behavioral therapy framework has not been investigated, despite existing evidence suggesting that the pupil control ideology is linked to stress and burnout. One hundred fifty-five teachers completed a set of self-report questionnaires measuring: (i) teacher’s pupil-control ideology; (ii) perfectionistic and hostile automatic thoughts; (iii) irrational beliefs; (iv) unconditional self-acceptance; (v) early maladaptive schemas; and (vi) dimensions of perfectionism. The result suggests that teachers who adopt a custodial view on pupil control ideology endorse more dysfunctional beliefs than teachers who adopt a humanistic view. They tend to present a higher level of perfectionism, unrelenting standards, and problematic relational beliefs, including schemas of mistrust and entitlement. They also present more often other-directed demands and derogation of other thoughts. Such results picture a dysfunctional view on pupils who misbehave, as adversaries who threaten their rigid and/or perfectionistic expectations.

Optimization of Ideological and Political Education Strategies in Colleges and Universities Based on Deep Learning

“…In addition to the mining object, data selection, and mining technology, the course also addressed specialized phases such as cluster and association analysis. This research is anticipated to result in the development of new routes for the selection of assessment procedures and the creation of relevant policies [ 29 ]. With the advent of the Internet, it is now possible to look into the efficacy of political and ideological education and the growth of the class state.…”

A Preliminary Investigation of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in Early Childhood Education and Care

“…Our findings imply that when preschool teachers use educational technology, they prefer to concentrate on their attitudes regarding it in ECEC and their desire or intention to use it. The idea of planned behavior, which states that a person's attitudes and intentions impact their actual actions, strongly supports this result (Iancu, et al, 2018;Samfira, & Sava, 2021).…”

Understanding teacher emotional exhaustion: exploring the role of teaching motivation, perceived autonomy, and teacher–student relationships

“…This ideology encapsulates the level of authority teachers perceive they should employ in managing student conduct, a belief system intricately intertwined with the degree of trust vested in students ( Hoy, 2001 ). This spectrum of belief frameworks ranges from a humanistic approach, characterized by a nurturing perspective acknowledging unmet student needs as the cause of misbehavior ( Samfira and Sava, 2021 ), to a custodial viewpoint, where maintaining order through punitive measures prevails ( Samfira and Sava, 2021 ). The pupil control ideology’s impact transcends mere classroom management, extending to the dynamics of the educational environment ( Samfira and Sava, 2021 ).…”
