What is Educator Behavior

This chapter analyzes how teachers' conduct affects students' self-directed learning. Positive, supportive educator conduct is crucial for students' self-direction because it influences how students or children learn. Educators' assumptions about students may damage their self-concept and intrinsic drive to study, while educators' attitudes and instructional approaches may foster self-directed learning. Students' conduct relies not only on how they classify themselves in class but also on the educator's support, a feeling of belonging, and self-concept. All these characteristics are started and maintained by the educator's conduct throughout teaching and learning. Complementary educator conduct may uncover new dimensions of self-directed learning. However, it is disputed with several important routes to explore. If teachers could learn to improve their teaching and learning, the world's perception of learning might shift radically. This chapter aimed to provide a better understanding of how educators' conduct affects students' self-directed learning.
