Any manipulative attempt on the part of the teacher or professor to make the student get involved is likely to elicit a heightening of the student's defensive posture, covertly if not overtly. Coercive measures designed to insure that the student learns will be counter-productive in the long terms, even though the student's response may lead to success in passing objective tests. Manipulative and coercive procedures intended to assure that students will learn material about which they are defensive will only heighten the defensive posture toward the spirit, thought patterns, and paradigm of the class.
