Managing Student’s Behavior
Aside from managing the physical
atmosphere of the classroom, a learning-
conscious teacher manages also the psycho-
social climate of the classroom. As such, a
teacher has to build three distinct
relationships with his/her students in so far as
managing the psycho-social dimension of the
classroom is concerned.
The 3 Classroom Management Styles
Authoritarian
Laissez-faire
democratic
Authoritarian
Itis characterized by centralized
control. The teacher directs the
actions of the students, plans for
them, sets the limits on their
behavior and considers them as a
passive receivers of instruction
and information.
Laissez-faire
Itis characterized by a teacher
who does not interfere with
students’ choices and actions.
The students are allowed to
decide what they want to do and
how they will do it.
Democratic
It is characterized by a teacher who
leads the students in the learning
process. It is usually characterized by
interchange of ideas between the
teacher and the students before
decision is reached. The learning
situation is arranged so that students
are encouraged to think.
Handling Disruptive Student
Behavior
It
is important to recognize the types
of disruptive behaviors students are
exhibiting early in the semester and
act quickly to reduce problems.
Start with the Syllabus
Establish ground rules and
communicate your expectations for
appropriate student behavior
including civility, attendance,
tardiness, participation, turning in
assignments, make up exams, re-
grades, and common distractors. For
instance, cellphones and laptops.
Incorporate Student Ideas
Have your students read
through your policies, point
out disruptive behaviors you
may have missed, and add
those suggestions to your list,
as is reasonable.
Serve as a Role Model
Exhibitthe behaviors you expect
from your students.
For example: if you expect your
students to be on time, make sure
you are on time.
Command Class Attention
Useeffective presentation techniques;
appropriate volume, body language, and
an eye contact; as well as rehearsing
your lectures in advance, lessen
nervousness, tangents, and distractive
behaviors such as searching through
notes.
