This chapter is going to focus on the topic of gamification in classroom management. In this context, firstly, the definition, characteristics, theories of class management, and the strategies used in classroom management are going to be defined, and then gamification as the next generation strategy is going to be discussed. Although there are many studies on classroom management strategies that have been designed to make the education environment more effective in the literature, the use of these strategies in classroom applications may vary according to the practitioner and the classroom climate. However, it is seen that gamification has become increasingly important with the change in the perspectives and expectations of people and the advancement of the methods and techniques used in education.

A comfortable classroom environment cannot be separated from the role of the teacher in managing the learning environment. Heterogeneous classroom conditions are a challenge for teachers to create a conducive and meaningful learning atmosphere. This is because each student has different characters, needs, and potentials that need to be developed. On the other hand, the heterogeneity of students if not managed properly can be a source of various problems in the classroom. Starting from bullying, the learning atmosphere is uncontrollable, even the attitude of antipathy to diversity triggers other negative attitudes, such as discrimination and injustice. Therefore, to overcome this problem, it requires the ability of teachers to create a classroom environment that respects diversity (multicultural). Based on this view, multicultural class management is needed. This is because multicultural classroom management is believed to be able to foster student diversity while still adhering to universal human values that are just and in favor of equality. Multicultural classroom management is also able to provide educational services that are by human needs, and respect differences with the human approach. On this basis, this study discusses teacher strategies in managing the diversity of students using a multicultural classroom management approach. Multicultural classroom management needs to be developed to create a more humanist and democratic learning atmosphere which is needed to foster the diversity of students in the classroom. Among the multicultural class management strategies that can be carried out are managing gender diversity, social status, ethnicity, including intelligence

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 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.
