Understanding Classroom Management

This lesson will guide you in understanding a very important concept in the teaching
and learning process--classroom management. Specifically, the objectives of this lesson
are the following:

 Discuss the concept of classroom management and

 Analyze the classroom management models used by teachers in the classroom.

Educational Theory

Classroom management refers to the strategies used by the teachers in order to

make sure that students will be able to learn well. This includes the techniques and
skills used by teachers to ensure that students exhibit behaviors that help promote
learning ("What is Classroom Management?" 2018)

Teachers manage the class with the ultimate goal of avoiding disruption. There
are four theories on classroom management. These are behaviorism, choice theory,
learner-directed learning, and assertive discipline (Simpson 2015).

Behaviorism or Skinner's Model focuses on ensuring that students are guided by

rules. Teachers who adopt this model make sure that students follow rules.
Reinforcement is used to ensure that the students will follow the classroom rules. If the
students follow, good behavior is recognized through praise or other forms of reward. If
the students misbehave or do not follow rules, the behavior is either ignored or
punished.

The Choice Theory or the Glasser Model values the importance of making
students understand the reasons behind their behavior so that they can make
responsible choices. Teachers who use this approach see themselves as facilitators in
guiding students make the right decisions. They ensure that the activities, curriculum,
and the learning environment will be able to address the needs of the students.
Classroom rules are still very essential to regulate behavior, however, teachers who use
this model encourage students to reflect and discuss their actions and improve their
behavior if rules have not been followed.

The learner-directed learning or Jones Model states that the role of the teachers
is to help students develop self-control. As a facilitator, teachers empower students to
be responsible for their own learning and actions. Through appropriate gestures, a
system of incentives and guidance, teachers help students manage their own behavior
(Simpson 2015).
