The American Psychological Association (APA) conducted the online 2005-2006 Teacher Needs Survey wherein 52% of first year teachers, 28% of teachers with two to five years of experience, and 26% of teachers with 6 to 10 years experience ranked classroom management as their greatest need. Difficulty managing student behaviors leads to higher stress and burnout for teachers (Smith & Smith, 2006) as well as less instructional time, lower grades, and poorer performance on standardized tests for students (Shinn, Ramsey, Walker, Stieber, & O'Neill, 1987). When teachers are charged with managing their own classrooms in the field, they are often inadequately prepared (Bergeny & Martens, 2006) and professional development workshops and inservices on classroom management are often ineffective (Allen & Forman, 1984, Fixsen, Naoom, Blasé, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005). The focus of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a checklist of evidence-based classroom management strategies both by itself and coupled with feedback and an action plan. Effectiveness was measured by the percentage of strategies from the checklist that were implemented by the teacher as well as the percentage of disruptive behavior by students in the classroom. The checklist consisted of 17 evidence-based classroom management strategies that were divided into three areas: Beginning of Class; During Instruction; and Responding to Student Behavior. The study consisted of four conditions: Baseline; Checklist; Checklist, Feedback, and Action Plan; and Maintenance. During the Checklist condition, the investigator and teacher read through evidence-based classroom management strategies on the checklist and reviewed examples and non-examples of the strategies. During the Checklist, Feedback, and Action Plan condition, the investigator and teacher reviewed the graphed data on the teacher's use of the strategies during Baseline and Checklist conditions. After reviewing the data, the teacher and investigator identified a maximum of three strategies from the checklist to implement and an action plan for how to implement those strategies was created. Then, after each observation, a checklist scored by the investigator was given to the teacher. During Maintenance, the teacher no longer received a scored checklist following the observations. Three elementary, self-contained classroom teachers of students with emotional and behavioral disorders participated in the study. During Baseline, the teachers used an average of 20% to 30% of the evidence-based classroom management strategies and the percentages of disruptive behavior ranged from an average of 60% to 90%. During the Checklist condition, the level of the data immediately increased for percentage of strategies used and the level of the data for disruptive behavior decreased, for two of the teachers. The changes in level for both percentage of strategies used and percentage of disruptive behavior, however, did not remain. One teacher returned to baseline levels for both percentage of strategies used and percentage of disruptive behavior. The other teacher showed a slight increase from baseline levels for percentage of strategies used, but the percentage of disruptive behavior returned to baseline levels. For the third teacher, no significant change in level was observed for percentage of strategies used and percentage of disruptive behavior. All three teachers, however, demonstrated increased use of the strategies and decreased percentages of disruptive behavior, when the checklist was coupled with feedback and an action plan. From Baseline to the Checklist, Feedback, Action Plan condition, the average percentages of strategies used were: Teacher A, 24% to 93%; Teacher B, 23% to 93%; and Teacher C, 33% to 88%. During Maintenance, Teacher A used an average of 92% of evidence-based classroom management strategies and Teachers B and C used 94% of evidence-based classroom management strategies. From Baseline to Maintenance, the average percentages of disruptive behavior were: Teacher A, 76% to 17%; Teacher B, 91% to 13%; and Teacher C, 64% to 12%. All three teachers found the intervention to be acceptable. Specifically, the teachers reported that: this intervention would be beneficial and appropriate for a variety of students; they were likely to use this intervention in the future; they liked the procedures used; and they were more likely to stay in their current teaching position after using this intervention.

Full textThis applied dissertation presented a mixed method design to gain a broader perspective of the perceptions of classroom management practitioners within a particular school district. Many teachers, or practitioners, experience issues with classroom management because of their understanding of strategies they use. Because of the researcher’s position within the education system, it was recognized practitioners are mandated to utilize specific classroom management strategies. As such, the study was designed to glean the perceptions of these practitioners in relation to the misunderstandings and mandates related to the strategies dealt with on a daily basis.
The perspectives gleaned afforded opportunities to generate statistical data. The last question presented to the study participants allowed each participant to express his or her ideas, related to the questionnaire or otherwise, in any way they saw fit. The analysis of the study took into consideration the open response comments as they pertained to the statistical data generated.
Findings revealed the most favorable, as well as most effective, strategies as perceived by actual practitioners. Practitioners also expressed their opinions indicating their displeasure regarding mandated classroom management strategies commonly referred to as Office Referrals. Practitioners indicated they perceived revoking student privileges, placing students in time-out areas, and utilizing counseling services as more effective when choosing strategies relative to managing their classrooms.

Full textLiterature and research studies have widely identified and documented the need for teachers to acquire classroom management skills and strategies in order to handle classroom behaviour problems. Teachers perceive classroom management as one of the major problems of concern in their teaching. The lack of South African literature and research on classroom management to assist teachers renders the problem of dealing with classroom behaviour problems more serious. This research investigation rests on the premise that teachers experience classroom behaviour problems which they have difficulty in managing. Teacher education institutions fail to cover the subject and subsequently teachers lack adequate skills, knowledge and taming in classroom management. This affects the teaching-learning process and places a challenge on the teachers to establish an effective teaching and learning environment. The study revolves around the following research problem: How do secondary school teachers manage classroom behaviour problems? In order to place this study in its proper perspective relevant literature on classroom management was analysed. The review of literature provided a focus on principles of managing classroom behaviour problems as the framework on which this study is based. The study adopted the qualitative approach. Classroom behaviour problems are readily observable under their natural settings and how teachers handle classroom behaviour problems rests on the circumstances from which they emanate. Observations and interviews were conducted in two secondary schools which are situated at KwaDlangezwa and eSikhawini in KwaZulu-Natal to observe how teachers handled classroom behaviour problems as they naturally occured and how they perceive their management of classroom behaviours. The findings of the study revealed that there were classroom behaviour problems that were common to most teachers and there were those classroom behaviour problems that were unique to individual teachers. The findings also revealed that most teachers were inadequately, if not at all, trained in handling classroom behaviour problems. This eventually made them to rely more on their intuition than on strategies and techniques that may have been identified as being helpful in minimising classroom disruptions. The teachers were aware of their inadequacies but lacked proper guidance. The researcher concluded the study by making recommendations such as introducing classroom management in teacher education curricular, inservice training for teachers, further research on managing classroom behaviour problems in the South African context, workshops to be organised for teachers by experts, and the department of education to formulate a working document that will form a framework on how teachers can deal with classroom management problems. Lastly, it is highly recommended that teachers approach their duties professionally and respectfully so as to eliminate some if not all classroom behaviour problems.

Abstract This research uses questionnaire and a small scale interview to explore experienced kindergarten teachers’ views on classroom management, including what rules and procedures they set in classrooms, the strategies they use to support children in learning these rules and procedures, and how effective these strategies were. A self-designed questionnaire were distributed to 223 teachers who worked in Public and Private kindergartens in Hsinchu and Taichung that were accredited as Practicum Kindergarten with National Hsinchu University of Education. Valid responses were 168 (about 75%), excluding void answers and teachers who has less than three years teaching experiences. Six teachers were interviewed after they completed the questionnaire. Research findings were as follows: 1. Before semester begins, almost all teachers emphasized a “ready environment” is necessary for young children, both new and old, to learn classroom rules and procedures. 2. The most frequently applied classroom procedures are “going to toilet” “washing hands” to improve children’s personal hygiene; “morning chores” “meals” “using teaching materials” to assist children’s self-care, responsibility, and respecting self and others rights. 3. The main classroom rules and essential classroom rules are mostly applied according to characteristics of classroom activities. 4. Teachers would use different strategies, including “People”, “Event” and “Object” strategies, to support children following classroom rules and procedures in different time slot to promote learning. 5. To be effective, “People” strategies should be built on shared-views, explicit goals, exact execution, keep track of children’s progress, and gentle but firm attitude. 6. To be effective, “Event” and “Object” strategies need to be close to children’s learning characteristics and experiences, to provide meaningful clues and manipulations. 7. Teachers tend to use “People” strategies more than “Event” and “Object” strategies. However, they also rate ‘People’ strategies less effective than “Event” and “Object” strategies. Suggestions for kindergartens teachers and further studies are provided. Keywords: Experienced Teachers, Classroom Management, Rules, Procedures, Environmental Support, Effective Strategies

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi principalmente, ajudar os professores a compreender quais seriam as melhores estratégias para trabalhar com alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais, mais precisamente, crianças com transtorno do espectro do autismo, e, ao mesmo tempo, ajudar a manter um ambiente de sala de aula amigável, mantendo essas crianças interessadas e focadas durante todas as atividades propostas pelo professor. Os participantes foram 13 alunos do 4º ano com idades entre os 9 e 10 anos. A metodologia aplicada ao longo desta pesquisa foi a de uma investigação de ação em pequena escala, que incluiu recolha de dados quantitativos e qualitativos com o auxílio de uma tabela de sentimentos, três questionários distintos, diários de ensino pessoal, bem como semanalmente reflexões que faziam parte integrante do Seminário de Orientação da Prática Supervisionada 2. Os resultados foram baseados em ferramentas de pesquisa utilizados. Em relação aos questionários, estes foram preenchidos em sala de aula por cada aluno para que ninguém se sentisse deixado de fora e, posteriormente, analisados mais tarde no mesmo dia, uma vez que também há outros alunos com necessidades educativas especiais na sala de aula. Até certo ponto, o estudo autenticou que os jovens aprendizes com síndrome de Asperger são capazes de ser incluídos em uma sala de aula de língua estrangeira, e que as estratégias que melhor se encaixam nas características destas crianças são as estratégias preventivas e de apoio, que efetivamente ajudam a manter uma sala de aula bem gerida no que diz respeito ao comportamento da criança. Também permitiu que a criança participasse em diversas atividades relacionadas com cada estratégia, refletisse e analisasse o seu próprio comportamento na sala de aula. Mais ainda, isto levou às conclusões desta investigação, e, simultaneamente, levou a que a criança compreendesse o seu próprio desenvolvimento, pontos fortes e fracos na sala de aula de aprendizagem Inglês.

The classroom management is important future issues for elementary education. It is closely related to environmental change. The purpose of this study is to know how the elementary school teachers make adjustment about the future strategy of classroom management with trend of low birth rate.Through literature review and discussion with expert teachers, we made an empirical study with an elementary school in I-Lan County. With classroom management strategies analyzed by (Analytivc Hieraachy Process, AHP), we also made some suggestions for elementary school teachers. The main findings are as following: 1. The conceptual framework of classroom management strategy consists of three layers, the first layer is the ultimate goal of classroom management. The second layer consists of the five dimensions of classroom management, including "teaching activity","enhancing relatives’ awareness and daily-life norms","increasing careness with others and improving human relationship","promoting positive personality and self-growth","protecting the right of teachers". Under each dimension of the second layer, we make a third layer with twenty-seven classroom management strategies. We also downsize of strategy numbers to seven and make new ranking with seven strategies. 2. The top seven strategies selected by AHP are "an active careness about student learning","impartial handling student’s disputes and to give an opportunity education"," to review student’s mistakes and misconduct with students together","prudent management of student mistakes","to discuss the behavior norm and implement with students together", " to downsize the class students with low birthrate trend ", "to review classroom management strategies from time to time". 3. The conceptual framework had been proved to be pratical The top seven strategies change their original priority after new pairwise comparision. Therefore, different methods have different decision-making results in this study. of the case. 4. The low birthrate issue for junior high school or high school is worthy to study their future strategies. In addition, if there are more case studies for elementary school, it will be able to expand the application of this conceptual framework. Fuzzy AHP has its positive value for this future issue.

The main goal of this dissertation is to investigate classroom management strategies, which primary school step-teachers use nowadays (this research only aims at Taipei schools), and to analyze the differences between these classes, which may affect by different backgrounds. Furthermore, discussing the difficult positions these teachers face when they manage the stepmother classes and what kinds of assistance they need. Finally, sum up a conclusion according to the investigation and offer suggestions to the primary school step-teachers, primary school administration staffs, and teacher education institutions. The objects of this research were step-teachers, who taught a stepmother class during Academic Year 2008, in Taipei public primary schools. The data collection is through questionnaires, and the statistics would be analyzed by frequency distribution, percentage, average, standard deviation, T-test, and one-way ANOVA….etc. Four interviewees and the interview guidelines were determined by the questionnaires they filled in to proceed to the semi-structured interview. The conclusions of the investigation are as follows: Firstly, these step-teachers all performed well in classroom management strategies, especially in the “discipline and counseling management strategies”. Secondly, the variables includes using a substitute teacher or a full-time teacher, the gender, the experience of being a homeroom teacher, the grade they taught and have they taught the same grade before…etc. All of these variables will affect the outcome of stepmother class management. From the data, the result shows that if the step-teacher is a full-time teacher, the using of “relationship management strategies” would be better than a substitute teacher. And a female teacher does much better in “classroom environment management strategies” than a male teacher. The “classroom environment management strategies” will be carried out outstandingly if the step-teacher works more than 10 years compares with who works less than 5 years. Moreover, “classroom environment management strategies” and “curriculum and instruction” execute well in lower grade classes than in higher grade classes. Last but not the least, step-teachers who have taught the same grade before will be better in practicing “classroom management strategies” than those who have no experience. Thirdly, exceptional students are the most difficult position that step-teachers will face when they manage their classes. The biggest problem is the aspect of the “relationship”. Therefore, the assistance step-teachers need is based on providing help to exceptional students, the administrator offices also have to think what kind of resources they can support, however, the aspect of relationship demands immediate attention.
