When ‘Models of Teaching’ was introduced in the BEd Curriculum of Calicut University Teacher Educators were on the look out for illustrative examples, particularly for explaining ‘Nurturant’ effect.
One of the best examples I came across was given by a Clinical Psychologist- cum- Teacher Educator. He narrated the following ‘very short’ story that appeared in a Malayalam daily:
The car screeched to a halt near the gate. The glass lowered and the mistress of the house spoke to the servant:
‘Has sonny woken up?...Give him the medicine kept on the table .. Put him to sleep…’
Years later… from the US, a telegram arrives:
“Let Mum’s funeral ceremony be as grand as grand can be . Don’t forget to send me the video”!
The son’s success in getting a job in the US and his conduct on the occasion of the funeral is an example of ‘Nurturant effect’!
Don’t you think this is a typical example….?
