Classroom Management

Submitted by Robbie Christin... on Sat, 02/08/2014 - 11:31

In teaching every educator encounter different issues or difficulties of students and how to deal with them takes a lot of effort, learning and experiences.

What can we do if one or some of our students are discouraging the authority, leaving the class repeatedly for some reasons, appearing not to pay attention during class, smell strongly of body odor, verbally or physically threatening to you, practice annoying and/or disruptive behaviors, monopolizing the conversation, fall asleep in class, repeatedly tardy, refuse to participate in class discussions or group work, sharing or copying work, submit a plagiarized paper, sit in the back and chat with a classmate, or just plain disrespectful and others? Aside from the issues of student’s behavior, how to achieve a good classroom environment?

The answer is classroom management. Classroom management implies an ability to deliver all the items that the teacher has planned effectively and systematically, without any deviation from the goal, but at the same time, leaving some scope for flexibility. (by Dr Sujata Rana, Associate Professor, Department of English, CRM Jat College,Hisar). Classroom management could be different from different educators. But the establishment of this classroom management have these goals for most of the instructors; first, to develop the best learning environment that possible to every student; second, to expand the student responsibility and self – directive.

It is important that from the first meeting you have set your rules and requirements, syllabus is the best tool to provide the visibility of these and have to be given to every student for a particular course. Following the real time schedule, keeping the discussions and the activities aligned with the learning objectives. For effective classroom management it must be aligned with instructional goals and activities.  The class can be manage in a better and rewarding way through careful preparation and selection of the tasks, clear transmission of guidelines and instructions and adequate monitoring.

Yes, it is true that every educator is experiencing difficulties while at their class and it needs time to deal with these issues. It’s true that we cannot please all our audience to be with us in the entire period of time due to some matters. But as the author said in the article, classroom management can be a solution. Through this management, all will be settle since it implies rules/regulations/policies that will probably solve all the issues within the class and therefore will have a smooth and good interaction in the class. Thank You Mam Robbie for this article. For sure, students can relate to this especially to those who are problem in the class. God Bless!

How sad... Feeling guilty because I know I'm one of those problem student for "sometimes", not paying attention or chatting with seatmates. With classroom management as a solution, I think rules and regulations set during the first meeting should be consistently implemented all throughout the semester.

Classroom Management is a lot harder than it sounds! As part of the management and lecturing force of a Review and Tutorial Center, I understand the need for this. Thank you, Engr. Robbie for this article. I'd have to admit that I could really use more knowledge on Classroom Management, and reading this has definitely done me some good. In fact, all educators should read this in order to establish a better learning environment through better learning relations with the students! Congratulations on your article! :)

Classroom Management is one of the most important aspects of teaching. Without good classroom management there is really no way that content can be taught effectively.

I agree with the comments above. It is true that classroom management is really important to have a smooth and sound learning environment. Even in a kindergarten or day care center, classroom management is being observed. Young kids are properly trained to be initiative and be responsible with the help of classroom management. So with this, proper implementation of rules and regulations, and consistency, and also with the initiative and responsible students, classroom management is maintained.

Being a student for more than 15years, school, more specifically, the classroom, has been my second home. And I admit that this is where I got most of my habits and traits (I'm afraid not all of them are good). It is, indeed, really important to maintain proper classroom management to inspire students and learn to respect their professors and treat them accordingly.

classroom management is indeed a very challenging task, imagine dealing with different kinds of students all at the same time confined in a four-cornered room? it is true that educators should set rules and see to it that we students are well informed of what to do and what to expect through out the course.

As an undergrad college student, I am really expecting an effective classroom management in every course that I take. This will help me learn lessons in a more efficient way. An effective classroom management will lead to a systematic flow of lessons, helping students to learn in an organized scheme even if the lessons are complex in nature. Also, a professor/instructor with an effective classroom management makes him/her more credible as a professional.
