Pull the card from the stack to decide
which student will answer the question.

Teacher puts the names before a
question.
For example: Linda, what is a noun?

Disadvantages
Students do
not
necessarily
take
personal
responsibility
for their
behaviours.
Students in

secondary
school
might not
be affected
by Kounins

students in

does.
This model

address the
issue of
teaching
learners to
discipline
themselves.
this effective
instructional
management keep

learning.
This
theory is

be used
because
it challenges teachers
to develop specific
instructional skills to
prevent misbehaviour
