Мanaging as a necessary need of modern time focused on the management of activities aimed at achieving goals is present in all areas of social life, has special importance in education. Education as the basis for the future development of individuals and from the initial levels of education should reflect in students proper management of their own behavior and their own efforts towards achieving school success. This management process starts at the micro level at the classroom level, where the teacher through the ways of managing in the classroom solves problems, focuses on learning, correct behavior and achieving sets of goals. This is the basis in which students build values for life, and will be the basis for their own management of their lives. The management of the classroom actually represents the coordination of the activities of the students of the classes and their overall behavior in order to make learning as productive and of course to build knowledge and behaviors that are set as desired goals. Classroom management is particularly specific because each student is different from everyone else, the school is not voluntary, only compulsory by society and because students are unpredictable and respond to teacher activities in different ways. There are two main characteristics of classroom management: preventing problems before they occur and reacting to problems once they occur. Many management issues can be prevented by following students' activities by analyzing how classroom enviroment is used by establishing daily procedures, routines and rules by appropriately monitoring and structuring activities by communicating the importance of learning , providing timely feedback and timely collaboration of teachers and parents. Classroom management is more than repairing the foul reactions of individual students, more than a strict discipline. Classroom management refers to the co-ordination of multiple goals, both cognitive as well as affective and psychomotoric, and from here the series of task assignments and learning activities, so that learning is done as simple and productive as possible. Therefore, educators sometimes describe good managing as creating a positive learning environment, because the term refers to the overall activities of all subjects in the classroom, directed towards goals and learning expectations. In general, classroom management involves the behavior of learners and learning process and when talking about the learning environment, is means in the whole "feeling" in the classroom. There are many ways to deal with classroom issues when they occur, and the choice depends on the nature of the problem. Including strategies for conflict resolution is of great importance. Regardless of the startegies that the teacher uses depending on his experience, it is important to have in mind their ultimate goal: to enable achievement of goals, and to make learning as effective as possible.

This paper illustrates the information literacy (IL) strategy in an undergraduate Management program at U.S. Coast Guard Academy. The paper exemplifies a sequential approach that improves students’ capabilities to evaluate and apply information in a specifically designed learning environment while generating new knowledge in undergraduate business coursework. The paper also emphasizes how IL can be developed within management coursework through a six-step process, including defining, locating, selecting, organizing, presenting, and assessing.  This specially designed framework of IL learning can be applied across all relevant courses using specially designed assignments in the Management major.

Classroom management is commonly understood as the structures and procedures that establish and reinforce a productive learning environment. However, traditional conceptualizations of classroom management are rife with culturally embedded norms, assumptions, power structures, and other roadblocks to a healthy classroom environment for all students. While certain routines can help set the stage for learning, teachers must critically examine such routines and expectations to establish a classroom environment that supports learners’ varying needs and backgrounds. This article unpacks several challenges with classroom management and offers offer a culturally responsive approach that supports community over compliance, moving toward democracy, mutual regard, and safe spaces.

To teach the net generation in today’s classrooms, it calls for innovativeteaching and learning strategies that are engaging so as to sustain learners’interest in learning. This paper describes how Singapore has successfullylaunched ICT initiatives in schools and expounds the use of the MixedMode Delivery (MMD) pedagogical model in ICT-Rich classroomsin Singapore educational context. This paper discusses how ICT isharnessed so as to support the MMD model where student teachersare empowered with a wide repertoire of strategies and tools to createa more positive learning environment. The paper concluded with theremark on the importance of the MMD as a viable pedagogical modelfor sustaining interest of learners in a high-tech world.

As our world becomes more technologically advanced, research suggests that technology-rich learning environments support students as well. Mobile Virtual Laboratories can be used to replicate physical laboratories and augment the incorporation of technology inside science classrooms in an attempt to provide students with laboratory experiences that would not otherwise be available in high school settings. This study measured the effectiveness of mobile virtual laboratory as innovative strategy to improve learners’ achievement, attitudes, and learning  environment in teaching chemistry. The study utilized one-group pretest–posttest design. The innovative strategy is calculated using this design by measuring the difference between the pretest and posttest scores, attitudes and learning  environment in teaching chemistry. The study revealed that the utilization of the innovative strategy mobile virtual laboratory in teaching chemistry showed that learners have a strong positive attitude. More so, the learners have a strong positive learning environment when exposed to the innovative strategy mobile virtual laboratory based on the six domain of learning environment in teaching chemistry. As shown by the significantly higher mean in the posttest than in the pretest, the innovative strategy mobile virtual laboratory had a positive impact on the learners' achievement. Consequently, the learners exposed to the mobile virtual laboratory in teaching chemistry are significantly differ in pretest and posttest results. The findings of this study have the potential to reassure educational professionals, contribute to the body of research within the field of chemistry achievement, attitudes, and learning  environment, and encourage further research into the efficacy of mobile virtual laboratories as a teaching tool.
