Each day, teachers in the classroom are becoming more familiar with students who are struggling to deal with a psychological phenomenon known as failure syndrome. For these educators, finding ways in which to connect and educate a child suffering from failure syndrome can be challenging. Because children with failure syndrome often are convinced they can not accomplish any goals given to them, teachers have found educating these students requires a unique and creative approach. As an educator, if you are struggling with students who seem to be afflicted with failure syndrome, consider these guidelines to improve the overall success of all of your students.
First, begin by focusing on the degree of complexity in the work given to the student. Often, students who feel they are a failure will commonly express confusion and disinterest when faced with overly complex tasks. The key to educating the children suffering from failure syndrome is to first raise their selfconfidence. Therefore, educators should use tasks and educational tools that are less complex.
Beyond analysis of complexity of the academic curriculum, educators must also look at ways in which to reward and recognize a student for simply making attempts to achieve and complete assignments. Even though tasks may be wrong or complex, the child who suffers from failure syndrome must be encouraged to simply complete any assignment without regard to correctness. In doing this, educators can provide praise and support for the simple completion of a task.
Students who experience failure syndrome commonly will give up easily feeling as if they can not complete any assignment fully or accurately. If a child gives up on a science fair project because the results did not turn out as planned, the student should be encouraged to identify where the error was made and then arrangements should be made to allow for the error to be corrected.
