Why do children copy in classes and how to act in that situation?

When children start attending classes, they do not go with the mentality of copying assignments or exams, since they do not have any information about what is copied. Children at an early age are very innocent and are only capable of transmitting good deeds and the example they observe from their parents or representatives, that is why it is very important that adults are very aware of all the actions they carry out.

At school, children learn the meaning of copying, and often they do it with fear, stress, or ignorance. It is essential to inform them that this type of action is wrong but in a good way, not with reprimands or strong words, which end up confusing it.

Ways to copy.

• Copy the task of another.
• See the exam of a classmate.

In addition, there are different factors, the attitude of those who copy, who lets themselves be copied and the teachers.

Reasons why a child copies.

• Pressure on the part of parents that they should only have excellent grades or should be the best in everything. It is good to want your child to be good at something, but you should not pressure them to create stress, but create an atmosphere of harmony and instill values.
• Some teachers overload children with homework and, therefore, some get tired. A fun education should be implemented in which children feel motivated and curious to learn more.
• They want to have good grades, instead of wanting to learn. I think it is time to change certain educational criteria, that instead of uniting, what they achieve is to divide. No child is smarter than another, they only have different characteristics, and a person who takes a purely excellent grade can not be more successful than a student with a regular grade.
• Insecurity is also a factor in children copying, as they do not feel confident about what they studied, end up seeing the task others.

It is important to promote values ​​in children, in addition to safety. So that you do not have doubts when carrying out any type of activities. You can not punish without consideration a child who has been copied for the first time without first knowing the cause that led him to have that attitude.

• When a teacher gives confidence to his students, it is difficult for them to want to copy themselves out of respect. It is also important to listen to students about the implemented learning method, to know how teachers can be failing to convey the message.
• Parents should be informed of the situation so they can talk with the child and find ways to support their child in their studies.
