CHCFC507A I am having trouble understanding assessment 2 question 9 What does modelling appropriate attitudes mean? I have read the appropriate section but am finding it difficult to put it in terms that are easy to understand. Can anyone please help? Thanks

Lou different study providers have different questions for the same units so you need to give us the complete question for which you are asking assistance.

hi sorry i am new to this. the question is - in your own words describe what is meant by "modelling appropriate attitudes". thanks heaps

Hi Pinkfox
Is this unit about music? You said you found the appropriate section, so what does it say the appropriate attitudes are? I didn't have a question like this in the unit I did but "Modelling" just means to behave in the way you would like others to behave,i.e instead of telling children to behave in a certain way you show them the behaviour you want by behaving that way yourself. In terms of music the best example I can think of would be Aboriginal music. I sometimes find this difficult to listen to but if I pulled a face and rolled my eyes, or even worse made fun of it, I wouldn't be modelling appropriate attitudes because we want the children to develop a broad appreciation of music from many cultures.

Hope that helps

Good example Debzo, however you can apply this example to non music settings as well

Thanks Debzo looking at it with that example in mind is helpful!
