APPROACHES TO CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

There are 3 approaches toclassroom management:

1.The Self-Discipline Approach

2.The Instructional Approach3.The Desist Approach


11/37

The Self-Discipline Approach

Built on the premise that students can be trusted to evaluate and

change their actions,so their behavior are beneficial andappropriate to self and to the class.

Teachers ability to build and establish working teacher-studentrelationships.

There are 4 democratic classrooms management models:

Reality therapy(William Glasser) Helps students take the responsibility for examining and solving

their own problems.

Teachers must guide their students to become more responsibleindividuals able to satisfy their needs in real world.

Responsibility on the students,not the teacher.

Classroom meetings are essential to identify the problems.


12/37

Teacher Effectivenss Training(TET)(Dr.Thomas Gordon)

Stresses on the establishment of positive working relationshipsbetween teachers and students.

Teachers can reduce disruptive student behavior by usingclearer,less provocative communication.

Teachers should identify who owns the problem when one

develops in the learning environment.(teacher or student) If teacher owns the problem:

I-message should be sent.(I-message tells the students how youfeel about a problem situation and invites the students tochange,to correct the situation.

If I-message does not correct the problem,use solution throughproblem solving.


13/37

6 steps of negotiation between teacher and student:

1. Conflict is clearly determined.2. Possible solution are generated.

3. Unacceptable are rejected.

4. Remaining ideas are ranked and the best solution is selected.

5. Determination of how to implement the selected solution so allparties are satisfied.

6. Entails an assesment of how well the solutions works.

Punishment is not recognized as viable option.

If the student own the problem:

Called active listening(or emphatic listening).Teacher shouldlisten carefully and become counselor and supporter.

Teacher should reflect back students point view to help themfind the solution.


14/37

Inner Discipline(Barbara Coloso)

Focus on helping children develop their own self-discipline by

owning their mistakes,thinking through solutions,and corretingtheir misdeeds while leaving their dignity intact.

Treats kids with their respects and help them develop innerdiscipline that will help them to develop their ability to handletheir own problems and learn their successes and mistakes.

Teachers need to guide them from making any mistakesdecision.

Teacher fall into 3 categories:

1. Brickwall teacher-are rigid,use power and coercion to controlothers.

2. Jellyfish teacher-little structure,consistency,or guidance andputdowns,threats,and bribery to control students.

3. Backbone teacher-provide the support and structure necessaryfor students to behave creatively coorperatively,andresponsibly which leads to inner discipline.


15/37

Beyond Discipline(Alfie Kohn)

Approaches based on reward and punishment are only short-term solutions to classroom problems.

He contends that punishment teaches students that they willsuffer when they caught misbehaving and rewards teach themhow to respond positively only in order to win a prize or praise.

Teacher should develops a sense of democratic classroomcommunity that recognizes the needs and interest of bothteachers and students.

Classroom community will develop student to invoved indecision-making process and continually brought into making

judgements,expressing opinion and working coorperatively.


16/37

The Instructional Approach

The basis of this approach is that well-planned and well-

implemented instruction will prevent most classroom problems. 2 models of classroom management:

The Kounin model(Jacob Kounin)

Better classroom managers because of skill in four areas:

1. Withitness-know what is going on in all parts of the classroom at

all times.

2. Overlapping-handling 2 or more activities or groups at the sametime.

3. Group focusing-involved all students in lesson

4. Movement management- an appropriate pace.


17/37

The Jonas Model(Frederick Jones)

Wasted instructional times can be reclaimed when teacherscorrectly implement 4 strategies:

1. Limit setting-establishment of classroom boundaries forappropriate behaviour.

2. Good body language-physical mannerisms that tend to get

students back to work,the most effectively of which are physicalproximity to students,direct eye contact,body position,facialexpression,and tone of voice.

3. Incentive system-to keep students on task and get them tocomplete their work.

4. Giving help efficiency-related to time on task.


18/37


19/37

vi. Establish rules along with consequences for proper behaviorand improper behavior.

Behavior modification(B.F. Skinner) It is an approach that evolves the assumption that students

will change their behavior to receive definite rewards.

There are 4 general categories of consequences:

1. Positive reinforcement-maintianing or increasing theoccurrence of a desired studentbehavior.rewards.(praise,grade)

2. Negative reinforcement-involves the removal of an undesiredstimulus.(weekend homework,no visiting)

3. Punishment I-involves the application of some undesirablestimulus.(private reprimand,isolation,or a trip to the principaloffice)

4. Punishment II-removal of a desired stimulus or the withholdingof an anticipated positive stimulus.(exclusion from a schoolfilm,or loss of computer timefor a week.
