The teacher makes classroom effective by keeping in view its different aspects (E.
Worsham, 2000)
The intellectually effective classroom refers to a classroom where teacher give all the
students, the opportunity, to process and act on information, clarify their values and
beliefs and exercise their decision-making capacity. Teachers need to high expectations
for students and to provide the appropriate lessons to help achieve them. Teachers as the
managed of the classroom has to create classroom environment as discussed above in
which students physical, social, spiritual and emotional wellness is developed
( Nakamura, remond 2000).
Classroom Management
According to Wool folk, Anita (2004). classroom management is to maintain a
positive, productive learning environment.
According to Cooper (1983), a board set of teaching behaviors through which the
teacher shapes and maintain learning conditions that facilitate effective and efficient
instruction resulting in a learning community. Effective classroom management is an
ongoing maintenance-oriented process. It involves motivating students to learn providing
appropriate instruction and feedback and managing students work. efforts of an effective
classroom teachers are proactive, responsive and supportive.
According to David (1990), classroom management establishing and maintaining a
productive teaching and learning environment is essential if precious time for learning is
to be protected.
Jerry defined (1992), classroom is as the provisions and procedures necessary to
create and maintain an environment in which teaching and learning can occur.
According to Smith (2003), management refers to skill in the organization and
presentation of lesson in such a way that all peoples are actively engaged in learning this
requires an ability to analyze the different elements and phases of a lesson to select and
deliver appropriate material and reduce source of friction.
In addition to all, successful classroom management involves not only responding
effectively when problem occur, but preventing the frequent occurrence of problem
communication, motivation and discipline are considered as the foundation of effective
classroom management. The problem related to these component means there is
ineffective classroom management ( Anderson, 1991).
In the light of above definition I can say that classroom management means how to
manage the enviornment of classroom for teaching and how to use available resources
and make teaching effective.
Importance of Classroom Management
The importance of classroom management in the larger context of teacher
effectiveness is most clearly seen by examining the evidence that beginning or novice
teacher spends his time on classroom management. This increased amount of time on
classroom management apparently is detrimental to student learning ( Anderson,1991).
Thus, one may reasonably assume that until novice teachers are able to properly
organize their classrooms and manage their students they are unable to focus their
attention and efforts on the teaching learning process:
A teacher could work to increase those behaviors, which he wants his pupils to show
improvement in their academic performance, and good behavior in class. Many teachers
may feel that they use a mixture of the positive and corrective approaches in their
management, depending on how well they expect the children to succeed at what is asked
of them, for example ay use then positive approach when educational tasks or classroom
routine are new to the children but use a corrective one once the judge that pupils have
sufficient experience or have shown the correct behavior on some occasion and therefore
can for management in a classroom a teacher could work to increase those behaviors
which he wants his pupils to show; improvement in their academic performance and good
behavior in class he could work to decrease these behaviors which are not wanted
correcting the childrens mistakes and discouraging troublesome behavior. Many teachers
may feel they use mixture of the positive and corrective approaches in their management
( Shirley Bull, Jonathan Solity 1987 )
In the light of above statements I can say in classroom management teacher perform
a primary role. He use bitterly the sources those are available and show good result. He
maintain the class in every time.
Management Process
The four basic management function or activities that make up the management
process
1 Planning
2 Organizing
3 Influencing
4 Controlling
1 Planning
planning involves choosing tasks that must be performed to attain institutional goals,
outlining how tasks must be performed, and indicating when the tasks should be
performed.
Planning activity focuses on attaining goals through their plans outline exactly what
institute must do to successful. They are concerned with institutional success in the near
future or short more distant future or long run.
2 Organizing
Organizing can be thought of as assigning the tasks developed during planning to
various individual and/or group with an institute. Organizing creates a mechanism to put
plans into action. Teachers with in the institution are given work assignment that
contributes to goal attainment. Task is organized so that the output of individuals
contributes to the success of department, which contributes to the success of division,
which in turn contributes to the overall success of institution.
3 Influencing
influencing is another of the basic function within management process. This
function is also commonly referred to as motivated leading, directing, or actuating and is
primary concerned with people with in organization.
Influencing can be defined as the process of guiding the activities of organization
members in appropriate direction. Appropriate direction is helping the organization to
move toward good attainment. The ultimate purpose of influencing is to increase
productivity human oriented works situations usually generate higher level of production
over the long run them work situation that people fined distasteful.
4 Controlling
controlling is the management function for which management (a) gather
information that measures recent performance within the organization (b) compare
present performance pre-establish performance standard, and (c) from this determine if
predict how long it will take students to complete assignments will be able to implement
the management with greater ease.
4 Schedule Instructional
Effective classroom management to a great extent on using teaching time wisely a
schedule need not be so rigid that it creates problems, but it should offer a structure that
will enable a teacher to do his/her best teaching. It is desirable for a teacher who is
learning to manage instructional time to write out schedules with enough detail to make
useful for the teaching situation ( Colin, Smith 2003).
Above steps are very helpful in classroom management and teachers use them bitterly.
It is very important for every teacher that he know teaching goals, how to plan them? And
how many much he has time? Timing scheduling and prediction are very helpful for
teacher in classroom management.
Classroom Arrangement and Effective Management.
The effective use of space will lead to more effective classroom management for
reading instruction and a more efficient utilization of materials and resources. The way a
room is arranged will cither encourage or discourage student involvement if each student
has access to a complete set of materials rather than having to wait for or share mutual
materials.
A seating arrangement can remain flexible according to the teaching/learning
situation that is occurring or according to the objectives set by the teacher. Teachers must
also be concerned about the students fitting the disk. A disk that is too large or too small
for a student will be uncomfortable and inhibiting.
The arrangement of furniture in the classroom plays as an important role in effective
management of in effective ones reading class. Poor pre-planning for space utilization
can lead to failure of the best teaching ( Drcikurs, 1998).
