Classroom
management and student identification
Classroom management is an approach to ensuring that the
classroom is run smoothly and that students’ unwanted behaviors are controlled by
teachers using a wide range of skills and techniques.
The classroom should be a place where a well-structured
learning environment is created, misbehavior is controlled, and learning is
encouraged.
Classroom management is a continuous process by which members
of a school coordinate their activities and utilize the school’s resources to
the maximum extent possible and effectively to accomplish the various tasks of
the school.
-Tony Bush 1991
Things to consider in improving
classrooms:
1.
Physical
condition of classrooms:
The class teacher should take note of the following physical resources:
• Furniture:
The class teacher should make arrangements to replace these by paying
attention to whether they are broken or inadequate for the number of students
or inappropriate for the age and height of the students.
• Adequate lighting, ventilation facilities, water leakage or drizzle
during rainy seasons, and interference from external sounds that pollute the
classroom environment, if any, should be observed and discussions should be
held with the principal and parents in this regard and steps should be taken to
find solutions for them.
• Displaying and beautifying the walls with paintings made by students will
be a way to recognize and encourage each student. Through these, the quality of
a class can be monitored.
2. Paying
attention to student behavior:
The
behavior of each student should be observed when they are working individually
or alone.
• Identifying
the group:
When
students are working in groups, their behavior, the way they interact with
others, and the language they use should be observed. At the same time,
teachers should also be aware of each student's friends and provide appropriate
guidance accordingly.
• Conversation
with parents:
A
good relationship should be maintained between the class teacher and the
parents of the children in the classroom. Discussions regarding the progress of
the children, their behavior, habits, and spoken language should be held with
the parents. Furthermore, if a good relationship is to be developed, the class
teacher should visit the homes of his students and hold discussions with the
parents,
1)
Children will have more love
and respect for the teacher
2)
Due to the extreme attachment
towards the teacher, they will also
develop a desire for the subject
he teaches, and therefore they will achieve a better level of achievement in
the subject.
3)
By knowing the family
environment, the teacher will identify the needs of each child, and there will
be opportunities to meet the needs of those students and show special interest
in them
4)
With such approaches, the
peace of the classroom, a rich atmosphere, and the discipline of the students
will be maintained better.
• Discussion with other teachers teaching in the class:
Since such discussion is child-centered, assessments of the
children's shortcomings, strengths, and needs will be made. This will focus the
attention of the teachers on all the students in the class. As a result, all
the students will acquire high values and achieve a high level of academic
achievement. Since this is a class standard like the standard circle in
practice in schools, the quality of that class will also increase.
• Obtaining expert teacher assistance:
Where necessary, teachers with some subject-specific
expertise or resource persons from outside the school can be organized and
special workshops can be held in the class with the help of the principal. This
will also be a way of change.

Learning Improvement
The main goal of the classroom is to improve the learning of
the students. In that regard, every teacher should pay attention to improving
learning along with the above-mentioned issues.
The teaching process should be planned and organized, easy to
understand by students, contain new content, and allow students to engage in
the learning process with joy. At the same time, classroom management can be
found in a happy environment if it is appropriate for the age and class of the
students.
The following practices should be followed by teachers to
raise the level of learning achievement of each student:
Creating Learning Groups:
To create a learning environment in the classroom, it is
necessary to create similarity among the student groups. In order to create
harmony among the children who come from different thinking, goals, and
different family backgrounds, they should be divided into groups and a group
unity should be established for learning. Each group should be provided with a
different type of learning activity. These should then be promoted as a group.
Every two or three days, the group members should be changed and a new learning
group should be formed. When learning groups are formed in this way
continuously, the motivation to learn on their own will be created in each one.
Focus on developing reading
skills to enhance learning:
Implement the following action plans at the classroom level
to develop reading skills among students:
• Introduce classroom libraries or bookcase library systems
and display reading aids in them. This can create familiarity with books and a
love for these books among students.
• Organize reading skill competitions, writing skill
competitions and handwriting journal creations among students.
• Organize exhibitions of books suitable for students at the
classroom level.
• Give prizes to every student who finishes reading at least
twenty-five books.
• Organize reading camps. Prepare simple reading aids,
activities and assessment questions in a way that allows students to learn many
types of activities at the same time and organize reading camps. Students will
be very willing to participate in such activities.
Encouraging student activities:
The class teacher should start his teaching process with the
assumption that all students studying in the same class are at the same level.
The opportunity should be provided for student-centered education from the
traditional teacher-centered education. This will promote equal opportunities
for students, motivation, effective activities, development of self-confidence,
and interest in group activities.
Providing
exercises for writing answers to sample questions:
Providing exercises for students
after completing the specific unit or competency in each subject. This also
serves as a re-emphasis. The teacher can use the following simple methods in
this.
• Setting a sample question paper
that includes topics related to the specific unit or competency. This includes
questions ranging from simple to complex or difficult questions.
• Divide the students into groups of five and provide each group with the
textbook and other books related to the skills in it or information sheets
obtained from the Internet. Have the students select questions from them and
write the answers to them with their own hands. The teacher should make
arrangements for each group to engage in this task. After that, each group
should be given an opportunity to present the questions they have prepared and
the answers to them through a multimedia projector. Or they should be asked to
write and display them on a demy sheet and present them.
Evaluation:
Conducting assessments based on the
level of knowledge of students to help improve learning and teaching.
Assessments conducted in a classroom can be quantitative or qualitative. Such
assessments help to raise the level of achievement of a student and create
clarity and confidence regarding subject mastery. Assessment should encourage
students to improve and improve, not weaken or discourage them.
Self-Assessment
Self-assessment is when each student
assesses his or her own learning ability and where he or she stands. The class
teacher should provide guidelines and suggestions for conducting such
self-assessments. Such self-assessments also help in making the right decision
about what to do next.
Immediate Feedback:
Feedback is an important process that can help improve
learning and teaching. Feedback should always be given immediately. Delayed
feedback is useless. By providing feedback in this way, it will help students
correct their mistakes and do the right things correctly and at the right time.
At the same time, it can also raise the level of achievement. Asking students
very simple questions can also be a very simple feedback.
Therefore, classroom development or classroom management is
not only about maintaining the classroom in a good and attractive atmosphere,
but also a teacher should pay attention to personality development and improve
classroom management with various techniques so that the knowledge, skills and
attitudes of the children can be fully achieved. Only then, effective classroom
development will be evident. This is how children's productive personality
development will emerge.
