If they don t know the consequences and must choose the punishment, students are more likely to think about the consequences of their actions before they proceed. According to Marshall, the key to changing behavior is reflection. Students who are asked to think about why they acted a certain way, and what happened because of their actions, learn from their behavior. Asking students to talk through why they did the deed gives them an opportunity to rethink their actions and reactions. You cannot learn and be perfect at the same time, he said.
Responsibility gives students the internal motivation behind someone s actions.
It bases the decision on someone else s response or reaction. Young people need to internalize the motivation in order to own their actions.
