AUTHORITARIAN CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

Presented by: Kay and Atikah

Authoritarian Teacher

Has well-defined ideas of what constitutes unacceptable classroom behavior and is quick to point them out, often with shouting. When children do not follow her directions, the authoritarian teacher will react with shock and anger. Students rarely receive positive reinforcement and support in her classroom. Although this style of management secures immediate compliance by students, it creates anxiety and doesn't improve behavior over the long term.

Authoritarian Management Style

Teacher places firm limits on the students. Students often have assigned seats. Desks are usually in straight rows. Students must be in their seats at the beginning of class. Students are not encouraged to move freely around the classroom.

Authoritarian Management Style

Teacher rarely gives hall passes or recognizes excused absences. It is often quiet. Students know they should not interrupt the teacher. Since verbal exchange and discussion are discouraged, students do not have an opportunity to learn or practice communication skills.

Authoritarian Management Style

Teacher often gives no indication that he\she cares about the students. Students receive praise and encouragement infrequently if at all. Teacher makes no effort to organize activities such as field trips. Students are expected to listen to the lecture to gain the necessary knowledge.

Authoritarian Management Style

Teacher tells his/her students what to do and when to do it. Students feel powerless and may not want to initiate any activities. Students often dont care for the teacher and say that he/she is too strict. Teachers management style does little to increase achievement or motivation. Students are not encouraged to set personal goals.
