If a student is struggling to answer a question, help them out. Never embarrass a student. Even if the answer isn't quite right, find a positive in their contribution to the discussion.
To make sure I'm prepared and to explain things clearly and always be supportive. Also look for signs that the Student may be disconnected to the class.

It's crucial to recognize that students' sense of security stems from their belief in their ability to tackle assigned tasks competently. Autonomy plays a vital role in student engagement. Striving to cultivate both security and autonomy in the classroom can contribute to a more positive and empowering learning experience for students.
If a students answer is incorrect always try to relate their response to what it correlates to in order to help the student feel a sense of security when answering questions
I make it a rule to allow students multiple opportunities to demonstrate competence in the class and lab. I can see a big difference in motivation when I allow students a choice to practice what they feel will be most valuable to them while meeting course objectives. I did find it helpful to learn how to tailor my response to incorrect answers during questioning. I do see how this could create insecurity and fear of getting something wrong, especially in front of peers.
Security and Autonomy will keep my students coming back to learn more.
It is important to actively engage adult learners in classroom activities.
There are two issues: security and autonomy.
It is important to address the student perception of security for them to achieve success. Also by empowering the student, they will be more perceptive and learn more..
Adult students require the respect that adulthood commands. As an instructor, it is our job to balance the structure of the course with the liberty of the adult students.
