The purpose of this investigation was to explore the Patterson and Reid (1970) reciprocal/coercive interaction hypothesis as related to the classroom social interactions between teachers and students identified with severe behavior disorders. Additionally, four classroom behavior management strategies are identified as potential setting events for either coercive or positive reciprocal interactions between teachers and students. The literature reviewed indicates that teachers are more likely to attend to student inappropriate behavior (an indicator of coercive interactions) than they are to use positive verbal attention for appropriate behavior (an indicator of positive reciprocal interactions). From this perspective, the authors speculate that the management strategies of posting classroom rules, classroom arrangement, teacher movement in the classroom, and external reinforcement systems (e.g., token economies) may more likely be used as setting events to enhance the effects of teacher coercion rather than potential setting events to enhance positive reciprocal interactions. Recommendations are made for research concerning this hypothesis and for teachers' use of these strategies as setting events for positive reciprocal interactions.

An increasing number of students with emotional and behavioral disorders are being served in general education environments. This article provides general and special education teachers with step-by-step instructions in three classroom management strategies that, when implemented well, can increase academic engagement and reduce challenging behavior for all students in inclusive classrooms, including those with emotional and behavioral disorders. The strategies involve providing behavior-specific praise, directing play of the Good Behavior Game, and providing students with frequent opportunities to respond to academic requests.

The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of instruction differentiation in preventive classroom management strategies on preservice teachers’ selected behaviors. Results indicated no significant main effect for treatment condition, and significant main effects for lesson type and microteaching session. Findings indicated that preservice teachers benefited from extended practice in preventive classroom management strategies; however, longer microteaching sessions might be needed to provide more occasions to implement such strategies. With opportunities to practically apply classroom management skills within a university course, preservice teachers might enter their careers with more of a focus on proactive behavior management.

Purposeful Sampling

The aim of this study is to identify classroom management strategies used to deal with unwanted behaviors encountered in the classes of pre-school teacher. Phenomenology patterns, one of the methods of qualitative research, were benefited in the research. The study group consists of 18 pre-school teachers all working in kindergartens in the city center of Igdir. To determine the study group, easy accessible case sampling, which is one of purposeful sampling methods, was benefited. The data, consisting of 3 questions asked to teachers, was obtained via semi-structured interview forms. Analysis of the results indicated not following classroom rules, misbehavior, complaining of friends and violence in classroom behavior as the mostly expressed complaints by teachers. This behavior was found to occur mostly during free time period and during when schools are just opened. It was found that teachers benefited from rewarding and consolidating, identifying the class rules and ignoring to cope with this unwanted behavior. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.  ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin sınıf içerisinde karşılaştıkları istenmeyen öğrenci davranışlarıyla baş etmede kullandıkları sınıf yönetimi stratejilerini tespit etmektir. Araştırmada yöntem olarak nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden olgubilim (fenomenoloji) deseninden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, tamamı Iğdır il merkezindeki bağımsız anaokullarında çalışan 18 okul öncesi öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma grubunun belirlenmesi için amaçlı örneklem seçimi yöntemlerinden kolay ulaşılabilir durum örneklemesinden yararlanılmıştır. Veriler, öğretmenlere sorulan 3 sorudan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile elde edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda öğretmenlerin en çok belirttiği istenmeyen davranışların sınıf kurallarına uymama, arkadaşlarını şikâyet etme ve şiddet türü davranışlar olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu davranışların en çok serbest zaman etkinliklerinde ve okulun yeni açıldığı dönemlerde ortaya çıktığı görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin de bu istenmeyen davranışlara baş etmek için en çok ödül ve pekiştirme, sınıf kurallarını belirleme ve görmezden gelme stratejilerini kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir.

This descriptive, mixed methods study of one interim certification program explores first year urban teachers’ classroom management actions. This study investigates what strategies teachers implement to manage the classroom from programmatic surveys of 87 first-year teachers and interviews, field visits, video recordings, and journals of five case participants. Results indicate that teachers used behavioral, academic, and relational strategies to manage the classroom and they tend to refine several of these actions over time. Findings suggest that teacher preparation should promote beginning teachers to implement a range of classroom management strategies and support teachers in how to refine their actions.

The Us

The term "classroom management." Appears in Jossos Kounin's book, "Discipline and Group Management in Classroom." Jaasbs Kunin is an educational theoretician who focuses on the ability of the teacher to influence student behavior and instruction / management instructions. So he tries to integrate learning with classroom management. Prior to this, the US focused on the role of the teacher as a translator of knowledge and skills. Different studies have developed classroom management theories, which are based on the teacher's ability to organize and plan their activity and students, using the activity and high levels of student participation in learning. Classroom management is a collection of skills and techniques that teachers use to keep students organized, systematically methodical and tidy, focused, attentive, and academically productive during class. When classroom management strategies are implemented effectively, teachers can minimize disruptive behavior that impedes learning and other activities while increasing their effectiveness. Generally speaking, effective teachers tend to show strong skills in classroom management, while the hallmark of inexperienced or less effective teachers is the chaotic classroom.

Classroom Management Strategies

Students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience school-related difficulties. Although evidence-based classroom management strategies (CMS) are known to alleviate such problems, they are rarely implemented. The current study examined whether a path model including variables influencing the use of effective CMS developed by top-down methods can be replicated utilizing an open science method. An extended model including class size and experience with children with ADHD was also calculated. We further explored prominent implementation barriers. N = 336 in-service teachers completed an online survey. Perceived effectiveness, training on ADHD, perceived disruption, and affiliation with primary/special educational needs schools were important variables associated with the use of CMS. While class size was not correlated with the use of CMS, experience mediated by training revealed an indirect association with it. Class size, lack of time, and many students with disabilities were the most frequently reported implementation barriers. The implementation of effective CMS could thus be mainly enhanced by improving how effectiveness is perceived and by engaging teachers in ADHD-specialized training. Preparing teachers in how to cope with potential barriers should also be considered.
