One of the
biggest challenges that teachers face is managing a class full of students. It
is even worse when students misbehave and the teachers don't have a well-organized
plan or are not experienced enough to control the situation; consequently, some
difficulties in learning take place.
“Classroom
management is teachers’ strategies that create and maintain an orderly learning
environment and discipline means teachers’ responses to student’s misbehavior”.
We could say
that classroom management is the term educators use to describe methods of
preventing misbehavior and dealing with it if it arises. In other words, it is
the techniques teachers use to maintain control in the classroom. So, classroom
management is those techniques, positive behaviors and activities that the
teacher uses to facilitate the learning process and to create a good
environment in the classroom.
A well-established
classroom is one which contains all the elements and resources that the
students need and one in which they can make use of those resources in the best
way. Also, the actions that the teacher does should be focused on minimizing
disruptions and fostering the learning and a good environment.
The goals of
classroom management:
- To create a good classroom and learning environment
It does not mean
to create inert and passive students; it means to motivate students to learn and
to get them involved in the classroom activities.
- To support classroom community
It means that
students are allowed to make the connections needed for learning to take place.
Students need to feel comfortable to participate in classroom activities and to
share their knowledge.
