Logical Consequences (Dreikurs)

Logical consequences are designed to remove power struggles from dealing with misbehavior by creating situations connected to the wrongdoing. The consequences logically fit the offense. For example, if a student spills water by jiggling the table, they may be asked to clean it up. Logical consequences give students choices to change their misbehavior rather than being punished. This allows students to take responsibility. For instance, a student pushing others may choose to not push again or wait their turn on the stairs. The approach aims to build a democratic classroom where students feel a sense of belonging.

Logical Consequences

What is logical consequences?


An approach that is designed to take the power struggle and resentment out of dealing with misbehavior.

Logical consequences are situations engineered/created by the person in authority. The situations are logically connected to the wrong. It is logical because it "fits" the offense (misbehavior) .

Consequences are outcomes (negative or positive) of a person's action.

You break it, you fix it (Chong jiggles the table, the water spills. Teacher asks her to clean it up) Loss of Privilege (Hilmi is responsible to lead his friend to walk in line to the canteen for a week, but he disobeys. Teacher take out the privilege) Positive Time-Out (Mark disrupts a math lesson by making noises. The teacher sends him to the time-out place)

Assumption: All misbehavior is the result of a student's assumption how to find a place and gain status in the classroom.

Main focus: To create a democratic classroom environment where students feel the sense of belonging.

Punishment is not suitable as it may show the way the teacher to seek for revenge, to show their power and to embarrass the students.

How to apply logical consequences in classroom?


Logical consequences uphold the principle of students should be given choices in changing their misbehavior and should be forced to behave according to what they were told to do.

Thus, students become more responsible.

E.g. 1: Ezron pushes Vexter when they are walking down the stairs. Teachers Action: Give Ezron choices (A) not to push his friends again (B) wait for his turn to go down after his friends E.g. 2: Laurence disturbs his friends during class.

Teachers Action: Give Laurence choices (A) not to disturb his friends again (B) being isolated by his friends
