CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter is include the introduction, background of the student, theoretical

framework, conceptual framework, statement of the problem, Hypothesis, scope and

delimitation, significant of the student and definition of terms.

Classroom management, behavior, and strategies for elementary teachers have been a

long-standing focus in the field of education. The ability of a teacher to effectively manage

a classroom has a significant impact on the learning outcomes of the students. This is

especially true for elementary teachers who are tasked with laying the foundation for the

students' future learning experiences (Jones, 2019.

Elementary teachers are often faced with the challenge of managing a diverse group of

students, each with their unique learning styles, behaviors, and needs. This makes

classroom management a complex task that requires a deep understanding of child behavior

and effective teaching strategies (Everson & Worsham, 2018).

In recent years, there has been a shift in focus from traditional behavior management

strategies, such as rewards and punishments, to more holistic approaches that promote

positive behavior and foster a conducive learning environment. These strategies include

modeling ideal behavior, creating a structured yet flexible learning environment, and

building positive relationships with students (Bailey, 2018).


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 2

However, the effectiveness of these strategies is often influenced by various external

factors, such as the socio-cultural context, the availability of resources, and the teachers'

beliefs and attitudes towards teaching and learning (Wong, 2019).

As we navigate the "new normal" brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a

need to revisit and reevaluate these strategies in the context of online learning. The shift to

online learning has posed new challenges for elementary teachers in terms of classroom

management and student behavior. It has also highlighted the need for adaptive strategies

that cater to the changing learning environment (Gautam,2020).

This study aims to explore the adaptive methods and adaptability level of elementary

teachers during online classes. Drawing from McLoughlin and Priyadarshini's (2021) eight

dimensions of adaptive performance, the study will examine how elementary teachers deal

with uncertain or unpredictable work situations, handle emergencies or crisis situations,

solve problems creatively, handle work stress, demonstrate training and learning effort,

cultural adaptability, interpersonal adaptability, and physical adaptability.

The findings of this study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on classroom

management, behavior, and strategies for elementary teachers. It will also provide insights

into the adaptive strategies that are effective in the context of online learning, thereby

informing policy and practice in the field of education.

1.1. Introduction

In any educational system, the classroom serves as a critical environment where

learning, interaction and personal growth occur. Central to this setting is the teacher, whose
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 3

role is to give knowledge as well as managing the student's behavior. The classroom

management techniques that educators use have an important impact on how well their

students behave, participate and eventually succeed academically. According to Nosey

2012, it is observed that students’ behavioral problems are constant threats to their learning

environment. Maintaining classroom management structures to be one of the universal

problems faced by teachers. Making the classroom a welcoming, pleasant and enjoyable

place to learn is the teacher's responsibilities.

During the course of any school day, teachers make many rapid decisions based on the

behavior of their students. Good and Brophy (2018) spent decades observing teachers in

their classrooms. They found that teachers are more accurate observers when they have a

method for labeling and analyzing classroom behavior. Applying conceptual labels brings

teachers' reactions to a conscious level and facilitates their accuracy in reporting their

students' behaviors. Exploring the assessment of classroom teachers in student behavior and

classroom management strategies invites reflection on the timeless wisdom of renowned

philosophers who have pondered the essence of education and human behavior. As Plato

famously stated, "The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future

life" (Plato, The Republic). This profound insight underscores the critical role of educators

in shaping the character and destiny of their students.


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 4

This research aims to contribute to this body of knowledge by assessing the role of

classroom teachers in student behavior and the effectiveness of various classroom

management strategies.

Improvement of meaningful understanding of scientific concepts has long

been a central goal of science education. In realizing this goal, learners must be

actively engaged in meaningful learning, must seek to relate new concepts to prior

knowledge, and must use their new conceptual understanding to explain experiences

they encounter. They should be able to explicitly put the information they grasp and

translate this to meaningful learning. Thus, science educators need to come up with

multifaceted strategies and approaches in order to meet this goal.

Parallel to the global call of improving the quality of performance of the

Filipino learners and graduates, the Department of Education redesigned a curriculum

that builds up the concepts in a holistic way. The 2010 Secondary Education

Curriculum has the objective to empower the Filipino learners with lifelong learning

and helps them attain functional literacy through manifestation of the 21 st Century

skills such as problem solving and communication skills.

1.2. Theoretical Framework


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 5

The famous researcher William Glasser has broadly treated the concept of

individual behavior. The theory elaborated by him is known

otherwise as Reality Theory.

According to him, acting and behaving in a particular manner in a given situation,

assessing the positive and negative sides of that attitude is fundamental and

considerably influences the behaviour of each of us.” (Glasser, W. “Reality Therapy,

n.d.) Connecting this theory with the assessment of teachers in students behaviour,

more precisely with the classroom management, it is to be mentioned that teachers

need to encourage pupils to assess and judge their behavioural reflections in order to

be able to distinguish

acceptable behaviours from unacceptable ones.

For example, those pupils, who reflect aggressive reactions in the classroom, they

often damage classroom materials, cause conflicts among their peers, etc. Motivation

and encouragement of this group of pupils in judging and reflecting over the negative

and positive aspects of their attitudes offers them the possibility of making the right

choices. Therefore, encouraging pupils to think in this way, by criticizing their wrong

actions and stimulating or rewarding their proper behaviors whenever they occur, can

undoubtedly help in minimizing problems or troubles in the classroom triggered by

pupils themselves. Besides William Glasser’s research on the topic, it is to be

emphasized that studies conducted by Abraham Maslow too on individual’s needs

have significantly contributed upon the teaching process as well as the classroom

management too.
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 6

Individual’s Needs Hierarchy consisting of needs ranked according to their

importance (starting from biological or physical needs up to self-actualization), and

the fulfilment of these needs highly influences pupils’ behaviours. The more fulfilled

or completed these needs are, the lower will problems be for the teachers and pupils

during the teaching process; the easier will the prevention and elimination of

improper behaviours be; and the easier will the achievement of a well-managed

classroom during the teaching process in the classroom.

The first category of the above needs’ hierarchy diagram, biological and

physiological needs which constitute the bottom of the pyramid, are crucial since

their fulfilment is fundamental not only inside the school environment but even

outside it. The fulfilment of pupils’ biological needs can be explained through pupils’

feeding need during the 20-minute break after the third hour finishes. When the

fulfilment of this need fails, which biologically guarantees the well-functioning of

their physical body, pupils are not likely to be concentrated during the teaching
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 7

process, consequently there is a higher probability that they cause improper behaviors

for the teachers and their peers.

The second category of the needs’ hierarchy consists of safety and security needs.

Inside the classroom pupils need to feel secure, and not frightened or threatened.

Teachers by realizing a well-managed classroom, they can offer pupils security and

safety. The more fulfilled these two basic needs are, the fewer will disciplinary

problems for both teachers and pupils.

People are human species, consequently they require warmth, closeness, and

love in order to feel good in a particular environment. When pupils feel their

teacher’s care and attention, it means they have fulfilled the next hierarchical need of

the pyramid, that of love and belonging. When the first three hierarchical needs of the

pyramid are realized, the fourth one that of self-esteem may become dominant or

obvious in pupils’ character. Pupils will believe in themselves, they will believe in

their skills and abilities, serving as an encouragement for further achievements in

their life. The opposite is likely to happen when their self-esteem is low, they are

going to experience an inferiority feeling, they are going to feel weak, worthless, etc.,

influencing negatively in their attitudes versus their peers.

Finally, at the top of Maslow’s pyramid stands self-actualization need, which

naturally comes as a result of the realisation of the other needs of this hierarchy.

Hence, Maslow reinforces the necessity of fulfilling these individual’s needs, since

they directly and undoubtedly influence the individual behaviour of each of


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 8

us.Strategies used by the teachers in reducing pupils’ problematic behaviours in the

classroom

As mentioned above, the factors that lead to the occurrence of pupils’ problematic

behaviours are numerous. What needs to be highlighted is that teachers need to take

into consideration a variety of elements before deciding upon the application of a

specific strategy that would encourage the reduction of undesirable behaviors. It is

essential that they consider pupils’ age, their background, their family, financial

situation of their families, parents and friends’ educational background, pupil’s

individual temperament, etc. All these elements together seem to frame what is

known in Applied Linguistics as “the context”, whose role is essential when it comes

to the selection of the appropriate strategy in tackling improper behaviors.But what

kind of strategies do teachers apply in order to reduce the problematic reactions of the

pupils?

How effective are these strategies in avoiding them and creating a favorable climate?

in the classroom?

Does the same strategy work in the same way with the same age groups?

Is there an immediate positive reaction after the implementation of a particular

strategy?

These and many other questions come naturally when it comes to the selection and

application of various techniques which can be used aiming at reducing problematic

reactions of the pupils. Teachers/ educators have the power to change the situation in

the classroom in their favour, avoiding the use of physical or verbal punishment,
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 9

considered to be one of the most traditional behavioral control techniques. It is to be

emphasised that, verbally or physically punished pupils do have the tendency to

respond rudely / impolitely not only versus their peers but also versus their parents

and teachers. Instead of punishments teachers may encourage discussions and

cooperation as a positive manner in increasing teacher-pupil partnership.

Observations have shown that when educators use this strategy with the most

problematic group ages, such as the 7th, 8th , and 9th grade, the results have been

promising.

The above-mentioned list of factors influencing the frequency of improper

behaviors, also includes the school factor, which incorporates the establishment of

clear instructions and rules that pupils need to follow. Sometimes, not compiling and

presenting clear instructions to the pupils by the teachers or the school leadership can

trigger various behavioral problems in the school or classroom environment. The

clearer the school or classroom regulation is for the pupils, the lower will the

frequency of improper behaviors reflected during the teaching process be Teachers’

interviews have shown that an efficient way concerning this element is also setting

and using Classroom Contracts/ Regulations, besides overall school ones which

consist of general basic rules pupils have to obey or respect inside the

educational institution.

Managing pupils’ failures by helping them increase their self-confidence

constitutes a positive way in avoiding undesirable behaviors too. Classroom diversity

implies not only diverse pupils’ backgrounds but also diversity in their learning
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 10

skills/abilities. In cases when teachers apply differentiated instruction, they take into

consideration the abilities and skills of each pupil, encouraging each of them.

Otherwise pupils’ failures, as well as the non-appropriate selection of techniques by

the teachers might become a reason for encouraging instead of reducing these types

of attitudes in the classroom.

In spite of the above-mentioned strategies, there exist other techniques which can

be implemented by teachers in order to avoid or reduce undesirable attitudes inside

the school environment such as: continuous participation and motivation of pupils,

assessment of pupils’ achievements even when they are not frequent, increasing

cooperation between teachers and parents, encouraging positive social behaviors

inside the classroom environment, etc.

In the broad range of such strategies, teachers can select the most appropriate ones

for their pupils, considering different elements such as the ones mentioned above.

What is essential is the selection of a particular strategy whose result would be

positive and effective during the teaching process.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter indicates local literature, foreign literature, local studies and

foreign studies that the ideas relevant to the present subject relating to the other

studies and is briefly discussed to provide the foundation of the proposed system.

Foreign Studies
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 20

According to Averill F. Obee (2022) Professional Development Targeting

Classroom Management and Behavioral Support Skills in Early Childhood

Settings. Early childhood educators are expected to provide the children in

their centers high-quality care and preparation for later school success. At the

same time, nearly a third of children enter early care and education settings

displaying challenging behaviors, which in turn impacts educators’ stress

levels and wellbeing. It is then unsurprising that classroom management and

providing behavioral supports are consistently identified as areas where

educators require further training upon entering the workforce. The purpose of

this study is to conduct a systematic review of the empirical literature on

professional development (PD) approaches targeting these areas for early

childhood professionals. Forty-two studies were identified as meeting

inclusion criteria and were coded for strategies targeted, the context and

characteristics of the PD series, and the research design and outcomes

utilized. Findings revealed that studies were highly variable in terms of

targeted strategies, format of administration, training dose, research design,

educator and child samples, and reporting practices. The majority of studies

were conducted with educators from Head Start and public preschools and

utilized research staff in the administration of the PD approaches. This

indicates a need for more high-quality empirical evidence on PD approaches

that cater to the larger early childhood workforce and centers’ needs.
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 21

Implications for researchers and early childhood mental health professionals

and administrators are discussed. Early childhood educators are balancing a

range of challenging responsibilities throughout the workday: providing

learning experiences to children, responding to and comforting children,

taking care of children’s health and hygiene, curriculum planning, preforming

administrative tasks, communicating with caregivers, and more. These

educators are not only expected to keep 3–5-year-old children safe, but also

to be inclusive and prepare all children t o be successful when they enter

kindergarten. Additionally, they are expected to accomplish these goals when

the overall workforce is less well-paid, has fewer years of formal education,

and fewer opportunities for professional development (PD) compared to

educators working in elementary grades. In the face of all of these factors and

demands, early educators’ well-being is negatively affected, which then

impacts the quality of the education and care they provide. Data from a

nationally representative sample of Head Start teachers indicated that one in

three teachers experience some depression over the course of the school

year, with up to 70% of some samples experiencing subclinical levels of

depression Educators who are not happy are more likely to leave their jobs,

which partially explains why about a third of early childhood educators quit

within a year. Unfortunately, work-related stress has only increased since the

beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Educators’ well-being has major

implications for the children in their care. Educators experiencing high levels
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 22

of stress are more likely to have classrooms with lower emotional climates

and higher levels of exclusionary discipline practices, such as expulsion and

suspension. Overall, preschool children experience expulsion at higher rates

than children in any K-12 grade, and Black boys receive far more

suspensions than their female and White peers. The concerning and

disproportionate rates of exclusionary discipline practices may be attributed to

educators' levels of stress when they do not have the tools to manage

challenging behaviors in their program and implicit bias, where educators are

more likely to expect Black children and particularly Black boys to display

challenging behaviors. Early childhood educators’ stress levels have been

consistently connected to the level of challenging behaviors present in their

classroom. Behavior challenges are common for children enrolled in early

care and education programs, who are new to the classroom environment

and need to learn how to function in this setting, such as sharing toys or

supplies with other children and following instructions from adults. These

children are also going through a period of social–emotional development

where they are learning how to identify and manage their emotions and

interact with their peers. On top of this, 14–30% of children entering early

care and education programs are exhibiting problematic, challenging

behaviors, many of which are disruptive in the classroom. Because of this,

classroom management and implementing positive behavioral supports are

consistently identified as areas in which early childhood educators need


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 23

additional training after they have begun working in a classroom setting.

However, many early childhoods educators report that they do not have

access to high-quality PD opportunities that meet their and their classroom’s

needs.

According to Alexander Wettstein (2021) Class- and subject teachers’ self-

efficacy and emotional stability and students’ perceptions of the teacher–

student relationship, classroom management, and classroom disruptions.

Teacher self-efficacy and emotional stability are considered crucial resources

for coping with classroom demands. They examined how class and subject

teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and emotional stability are related to teachers'

and students' perceptions of the teacher–student relationship, classroom

management, and classroom disruptions. In a sample of eighty-two swiss

German 5th and 6th grade classes, 1290 students, their class teacher (N =

82), and a selected subject teacher (N = 82) filled out a questionnaire

assessing classroom disruptions, teacher–student relationships, and

classroom management. In a first step, we conducted t-tests on whether class

teachers and subject teachers differ in their self-efficacy beliefs and emotional

stability. In a second step, we explored by correlation analyses the relations

between teacher self-efficacy in classroom management and emotional

stability and the teachers’ and students’ perceptions of classroom disruptions,

teacher–student relationships, and classroom management. In a third step,

we examined by stepwise multiple regression analyses to what extent


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 24

psychological variables predict teacher perceptions after controlling for

students’ ratings, representing rather “objective” classroom features. In class

teachers, high self-rated emotional stability and self-efficacy are associated

with a more positive appraisal of teachers–student relationships and

classroom management skills (compared with student ratings). By contrast, in

subject teachers, high self-efficacy beliefs are associated with a more

favorable perception of classroom disruptions, teacher–student relationships,

and classroom management, from both the teachers' and students'

perspectives. The results of the present study show a distinctive pattern for

class teachers and subject teachers. In class teachers, high self-rated

emotional stability and self-efficacy are associated with a more positive

evaluation (compared to student ratings) of the teacher–student relationship

and classroom management skills but not teacher perceptions of student

misbehavior. On the contrary, subject teachers' firm self-efficacy beliefs are

associated with more favorable perceptions of classroom characteristics, both

from the teachers' and students' perspectives.

According to Nathan A. Stevenson (2020) A Commentary on the

Misalignment of Teacher Education and the Need for Classroom Behavior

Management Skills. Teachers’ skill in fostering students’ engagement and

limiting disruptive behavior is important for maintaining a safe, productive, and

effective learning environment. Yet, teachers lacking specific training in

classroom and behavior management continue to report high levels of stress


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 25

and are more likely to leave the profession (Ingersoll, Merrill, et al., Seven

trends: Despite wide agreement from experts about the importance of

developing classroom and behavior management skills, many teacher training

programs do not require specified coursework or experiences to develop this

skill set for teacher licensure or degree completion. In this article, we describe

what we observe to be a disconnect between current requirements of teacher

preparation programs, and the nature of adequate teacher training to

appropriately manage and support student behavior. We argue that this

disconnect currently contributes to a host of problematic outcomes

observable in schools, including teacher attrition, racial disproportionality in

discipline actions, and an overreliance on punitive and ineffective behavior

support practices. We end our discussion with additional recommendations

for improving teacher training and ensuring systems alignment. The term

classroom management conjures a range of meanings. Here, we define

classroom management as the set of skills, practices, and strategies teachers

use to maintain productive and prosocial behaviors that enable effective

instruction in whole-class or small group settings. As simply state, “Skillful

classroom management makes good intellectual work possible” (p. 327). This

definition is generally consistent with the way classroom management has

been conceptualized in contemporary education research. More specifically,

key components of classroom management include establishing behavioral

expectations (e.g., positively stated rules), explicit teaching, practice, and


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 26

reinforcement of classroom routines and procedures, and instructive

responses to behavioral problems that reduce the likelihood of future behavior

problems have outlined five critical features of evidence-based classroom

management practices: (a) maximize structure in your classroom, (b) post,

teach, monitor, review, and reinforce a small number of positively stated

expectations, (c) actively engage students in observable ways, (d) establish a

continuum of strategies to acknowledge appropriate behavior, and (e)

establish a continuum of strategies to respond to inappropriate behavior.

More than a decade ago, Oliver and Reschly conducted an analysis of

teacher preparation programs to determine the extent to which universities

require classroom management coursework as a degree requirement. Of the

participating institutions only 27% offered a course focused on classroom

management skills. The remaining institutions included classroom

management content, “dispersed within various courses or had courses

specific to individual behavior management interventions”. Among the full

sample, less than half included content on establishing a structured

classroom environment, providing active supervision, increasing student

engagement, establishing school-wide behavioral expectations, and or

developing classroom routines. Reviewed course offerings in classroom

management, and voluntarily submitted course materials from teacher

preparation programs. Only 65% of these materials demonstrated evidence of

teaching evidence-based content. Though the majority of teacher education


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 27

programs responding to a survey reported that they did offer instruction in

classroom management strategies, such as establishing rules and creating

positive climates, fewer programs reported inclusion of evidence-based

classroom management strategies, such as specific strategies to increase

appropriate behavior and decrease inappropriate behavior. Freeman et al.’s

findings, as well as those from a similar study by Flower indicate that many

pre-service teachers do not receive important content necessary for the

success of students and teachers. It is important here to note that

descriptions of evidence-based practices may differ widely across

researchers and agencies. We use the term ‘evidence-based’ here to refer to

those practices that have been shown to be effective by credible research

that classroom management strategies that are taught in pre-service educator

preparation programs should exhibit the traits of evidence-based, or credibly

researched and vetted practices.

According to Barbara Larrivee (2018) Strategies for Effective Classroom

Management. To be effective, the classroom teacher needs to conceptualize

classroom management from a perspective that integrates managerial

concerns with concern for student personal growth and development. This

broadened concept of classroom management puts the teacher in the role of

providing a learning environment in which students are assisted in expanding

both their cognitive awareness and their behavioral response repertoire by


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 28

developing problem solving strategies, adaptive skills, and student autonomy.

This concept of classroom management goes beyond organizational tasks

and behavior control to include consideration of individual student

characteristics, curriculum appropriateness, and performance expectations. In

order to provide the necessary framework for effective classroom

management, several conditions are integral: A stimulating and supportive

learning environment. An atmosphere in which teacher expectations are

reasonable. A class structure which provides opportunities for all students to

experience success. This section includes setting reasonable and ethical

expectations, establishing procedures and task structures which facilitate

meaningful learning, and key principles for effective classroom management

that support a productive teaching and learning environment. Alternatives for

Handling Behavior- There are four options available to the teacher for

handling behavior in the classroom. The alternatives are permitting, tolerating,

interfering, and preventive planning. Permitting: Bchavior which the teacher

chooses to allow. Tolerating: Behavior the teacher decides to tolerate though

not necessarily approve Interfering: Behavior which the teacher needs to

curtail. Preventive Planning: Proactive process involving developing

classroom procedures which prevent problems from occurring. Managing

Surface Behavior- Some overt student behavior needs to be curtailed

immediately, without regard to underlying causes or motives. Intervention

techniques for use as on-the-spot, immediate reactions to student behavior


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 29

are referred to as surface management techniques. They are meant to be

short-term, surface-level strategies appropriate for student behavior which

warrants immediate intervention. They are used spontaneously as problems

or disruptions arise. Twelve surface management intervention techniques to

be used as specific situations occurring in the classroom are described.

According to Dr Barry S. Parsonson (2018) Evidence-based Classroom

Behaviour Management Strategies. This was a range of evidence-based

strategies for application by teachers to reduce disruptive and challenging

behaviors in their classrooms. These include a number of antecedent

strategies intended to help minimize the emergence of problematic

behaviors and a range of those which provide positive consequences for

appropriate student behaviors. Also included is information on teacher

feedback and a review of strategies for enhancing teacher-student

relationships. The approaches covered by the paper are consistent with

those of the Ministry of Education’s Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L)

initiatives. Behavior problems in a classroom increase the stress levels for

both the teacher and pupils, disrupt the flow of lessons and conflict with

both learning objectives and the processes of learning. They also change

the classroom dynamic as the focus of attention shifts from the academic

tasks at hand to the distractions provided by disruptive behaviors.

Typically, one or two pupils are identifiable as ‘problems’, sometimes they


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 30

act in ways that compound management difficulties by inciting each other

and, possibly, others in the class into disruptive activities. The usual

response to problematic behavior is to identify the child(ren) involved as

‘the problem’, to focus on them as a source of ‘trouble’ and to devise

strategies specifically to deal with their inappropriate behavior. Strategies

to manage or change behavior in schools can involve school-wide,

classroom based or individual child-focused interventions: the focus of this

paper is on classroom-based interventions derived from Applied Behaviour

Analysis, Over the past 44 years the application of ABA to classroom

management has demonstrated the efficacy of a wide variety of

interventions which involve the use of both antecedent and contingency

management strategies which can be used by classroom teachers to

create positive and functional learning environments which minimize

disruptive behaviors and reward engagement and achievement. Several of

these effective strategies are outlined below.

According to Regina M. Oliver (2018) Effective Classroom Management:

Teacher Preparation and Professional Development. The ability of teachers to

organize classrooms and manage the behavior of their students is critical to

achieving positive educational outcomes. Although sound behavior

management does not guarantee effective instruction, it establishes the


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 31

environmental context that makes good instruction possible. Reciprocally,

highly effective instruction reduces, but does not eliminate, classroom

behavior problems. Disruptive behavior is a particular problem in classrooms

of economically disadvantaged students. Thus, the ability of teachers to

prevent or address disruptive behavior becomes especially important in the

context of the No Child Left 2001 and the Individuals with Disabilities

Education Improvement Act. These federal laws place a high priority on

improving results for students with historically low achievement (e.g.,

economically disadvantaged students) and students with disabilities. In

addition, these laws embrace the following: teacher quality as a critical factor

affecting student achievement; the amelioration of learning and behavioral

disorders; and broad educational outcomes for students, such as high school

completion and participation in postsecondary education and careers. The

inability of teachers to effectively manage classroom behavior often

contributes to the low achievement of at-risk students and to their excessive

referrals for special education. These effects are exacerbated by the current

pattern of teacher distribution, which reveals a disproportionate assignment of

less qualified and less experienced teachers to classrooms with economically

disadvantaged children. Thus, many of the least capable teachers begin their

careers teaching the most challenging students-with the predictable result

being low student achievement.


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 32

According to Julia Combest (2021) Classroom Management and its

Effects on Student Behavior. The purpose of this study was to bring

awareness to the use of highly effective classroom management strategies

amongst Early Childhood Education classrooms. In this study, qualitative

research was conducted by interviewing a variety of teachers in grades Pre-

Kindergarten-3rd at one elementary school in Northeast Tennessee. More

specifically, the study asked for their personal opinions and experiences on

specific classroom management approaches they use to manage student

behavior. The sample consisted of five Early Childhood Teacher; three first

grade teachers and two Kindergarten teachers. Data was analyzed using a

thematic content analysis method. Results revealed that the implementation

of classroom management strategies and procedures present a number of

thematic similarities within the range of teachers that were interviewed. Those

being, on/off task behavior, reinforcements and rewards, rules and

expectations, and a unified set of school-wide expectations. Overall, results

suggest that the implementation and use of classroom management

strategies in Early Childhood Education classrooms do have a positive and

lasting impact on student’s behavior. Classroom management is one of the

most critical components of teaching young children. Oftentimes, with the use

and implementation of evidence-based practices and strategies, it can make

the classroom run smooth and more efficiently starting on the first day of

school. In an article highlighting Social-Emotional Learning, the author states,


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 33

“Classroom management is not about controlling students or demanding

perfect behavior. Instead, effective management is about supporting students

to manage themselves throughout daily learning and activities.”. Of the

students that are defiant to such procedures, a teacher who has implemented

an evidence-based practice or strategy may have the means to be more

responsive in the situations and manage the behavior more effectively with

the use of said methods. In an article supporting the notion of Research-

Based Practices for Managing Students During Instruction, it states, “Rules

and expectations are designed to teach behaviors that will prevent predictable

errors and provide students with guidelines for managing their own behavior.”.

That being said, teachers will argue different approaches to classroom

management depending on what works best for their classroom, their

students, and their years of experience. The overarching purpose of creating

a learning environment that is conducive to following a classroom

management routine and procedure is to maximize student success, which in

turn, teaches young children self-regulation skills and expectations that

prepare them for future grades and life as a whole. According to the article,

Get Them Back on Track: Use of the Good Behavior Game Improve Student

Behavior, teachers and administrators can spend up to 50% of their time

addressing issues related to problem behavior, which can adversely affect

teaching and learning. In an article highlighting teacher vision and the

perspective between experienced and novice teachers and how they perceive
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 34

problematic classroom behavior, research shows, “The key issue behind

managing problematic classroom management may not be a strict question of

whether or not a teacher sees an event and has access to the requisite

relevant information, but more a matter of how they notice what they are

observing and recognizing what it means for teaching practice.”. When

looking at the range of teachers, it has been said that novice teachers tend to

feel overwhelmed by the complexity of a defiant situation quicker than a

teacher who has experienced far more scenarios. As the data continues to

progress, it’s evident that these types of interventions and strategies are only

enhancing students’ success and academic outcomes. Furthermore, “Daily

practice in education has changed rapidly. It is increasingly characterized by

student-centered approaches to learning as opposed to teacher-centered,

with a large emphasis on students' metacognitive skills and cooperative

learning.”. Consequently, given the rapid change in focus, when it comes to

choosing an effective classroom management strategy, novice teachers will

be quicker to try the “new” and “improved” method in hopes of overcoming

that overwhelming feeling as opposed to experienced teachers who are set in

their ways (H., Harms, T., De Boer, H., Van Kuijk, M., & Doolard, S. 2016).

Whether novice or experienced, who can determine which approach is best?

How can teachers determine which approaches are truly effective for

appropriately managing student behavior?


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 35

According to Muhammad Nisar (2020) Relationship between Classroom

Management and Students Academic Achievement. It is evident that teachers

who organize and manage the classroom properly will assist students’

learning. This study focuses on the association and connection between the

classes managing practices and activities used by secondary school teachers

and the students’ academic achievement. Correlational research design was

used for this study. A sample of 550 secondary school teachers was selected

conveniently from 50 government schools of district Kohat. A self-constructed

questionnaire based on a five-point rating scale was used for collection of

data. Mean, standard deviation and coefficient of correlation was used to

analyze the data. It was found that secondary school teachers used moderate

to high levels of classroom management practices. Managing physical

resources had the highest mean score while managing students’ behavior

and teaching methodology had the lowest mean score. Good relationship

between teacher’s practices and learner’s achievement was found as a vital

and basic element for the school's high academic scores. It was

recommended that secondary school teachers must be trained in classroom

management strategies to increase their capacities which may lead to ensure

students’ learning. It is observed that students’ behavioral problems are

constant threats to their learning environment. Numerous studies have

focused on the role of teachers in shaping effective education. It is generally

considered that the results of the learners at school level is mainly related to
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 36

the class practices of the related teachers with their students. Research

results showed that teaching could be only effective if the entire environment

for teaching would be made healthy and upgraded. Those schools where the

practices were superb but the management was weak were not producing

good academic results.

According to Chandra Ritu (2018) Classroom Management for Effective

Teaching. Teachers play a major role for effective class conduction. It is the

responsibility of the teacher to make his /her class interesting so that students

are keen to attend and participate in the class. Some of the teachers keep

complaining about the class which they teach. The problem is normally

related to student’s behavior and discipline. Such students miss out on

learning. They usually bunk or are irregular to class. They don’t even bother

to be present for the class. So many students today just don’t value their

education. If we suspend such students for bunking class they don’t seem to

care at all. Sitting at home doesn’t change their attitude. Maybe a fresh look

at the approach to Classroom management is required. But why we as a

teacher are losing our grip with the classes? This paper focuses on the

problems, reasons and suggestions for effective class management.

According to Lenida Lekli (2020) Pupil’s Individual Behavior and Its

Impact on Classroom Management. Lack of respect, disagreements, bullying,

use of indecent vocabulary, lesson abandonment, lack of motivation, etc.


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 37

constitute some of the most typical forms of undesirable behaviors reflected

by pupils which considerably influence not only the process of classroom

management but also the efficacy in the achievement of high results during

the teaching process. Problematic behaviors inside the school environment

are not a new, unprecedented phenomenon. However, it is to be highlighted

that the frequency of the occurrence of such behaviors, and their complexity

has been increasingly requiring attention over the last years by the

educational institutions. A great variety of social changes reflected in our

schools and families have dramatically decreased the efficacy of the

managing strategies implemented by the teachers during the teaching

process. In most of the cases, educators try to address and solve undesirable

instantaneous behaviors of the pupils, without reflecting over the reasons that

lead to such pupils’ reaction. Various social changes have influenced family

and school, these two important institutions, reducing in this way the efficacy

of the strategies implemented by teachers in achieving a successful

management of the classroom. This is the reason why conducting research

on individual’s behavior is being paid more attention recently, as a key

element but also as a possible strategy which would guarantee efficacy

during the lesson. The purpose of this research is pointing out and

highlighting some of the factors that cause problematic behaviors, the

theoretical approaches that treat person’s behavior and its influence, as well

as the discussion of strategies implemented by teachers in reducing


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 38

disruptive behaviors of the pupils. Considering pupils as unique individuals,

characterized by unique behavioral patterns requiring featured classroom

strategies could lead to classroom management success as well as higher

pupils’ school progress.

Local Studies

According to Jun Evangeline C. Miguel (2019) Influence of Teacher's work

conditions on classroom management practices. The study was conducted to

investigate teachers working conditions and classroom management

practices and determine how specific working conditions identified influence

classroom management practices. Leadership efforts to improve working

conditions were also explored. To address the research questions which

required the use of both quantitative and qualitative data, the mixed method

research design was utilized. The results of the study revealed that teachers

perceive their working conditions as poor in terms of workload, student

behavior, facilities and resources and class size. Majority of the teachers'

classroom management practices are characterized by aggression towards

students which is an indication of their poor perceptions. This has an

implication for school leaders to address working conditions that have the

most profound influence on teachers' classroom management practices.

Improving the status of these working conditions may enable principals to


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 39

effectively improve teachers' classroom management practices. The influence

of working conditions on different school outcomes such as teachers' internal

states, effectiveness, retention, and student achievement has been

extensively studied. However, less attention has been paid to the influence of

different aspects of teachers' working conditions on classroom management

practices. Therefore, the study investigated teachers' working conditions and

classroom management practices and determined how working conditions

identified influence their classroom management. Moreover, leadership efforts

to improve working conditions were explored. Specifically, the study

addressed the following questions: 1 What are the working conditions of

teachers in terms of the following domains 1.1 Workload; 1.2 Student

behavior, 1.3 School-wide management of student behavior, 1.4 Facilities and

resources; and 1.5 Leadership? 2. What are the classroom management

practices of teachers? 3. How do working conditions influence classroom

management practices? 4.What are leadership efforts to improve working

conditions? Majority of the teachers still use aggressive classroom

management strategies which is an indication of their poor perceptions of

working conditions in terms of student behavior problems, heavy workload,

poor facilities, and large class sizes. These working conditions were identified

by teachers as major factors influencing them to use aggressive discipline

strategies to deal with student misbehavior. Nevertheless, teachers are

cautious not to use corporal punishment in the form of inflicting physical pain
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 40

or discomfort on students mainly because of the DepEd Child Protection

Policy which prohibits teachers from using such kind of punishment. Due to

this policy, corporal punishment is almost non-existent in the public schools

which participated in this study. The study also reveals that teachers are

knowledgeable and creative when it comes to their classroom management

practices. Through supportive working conditions, teachers will reach their

highest potential and will achieve greater success for their students. There

are efforts made by the school heads to address teachers' concerns with

student behavior, workload, facilities and class size. However, leadership

efforts to improve these working conditions are hindered by factors such as

government policies and limited funds that are most of the time beyond the

control of the school head. As a result of these limitations, teachers perceive

their working conditions as poor which in turn influence them to use

aggression in classroom management.

According to Callang (2022), Teacher's competence can only be gauged

by using student achievement as seen on the performance. Considering how

important a teacher's competence is, he also warned that it is also alarming

that sometimes in any event, the least competent among applicants are given

reigns in the classroom particularly when the clientele is young. - He said that

this is dangerous practice, for it is a requirement that experienced teachers

should give chances to young children. Furthermore, he emphasized that for


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 41

a teacher to become competent, he must continually upgrade himself in terms

of knowledge, skills, values, and motivation to excel in one's area of

discipline. Capizzi suggested that a well-organized plan for classroom

management at the beginning of the year was critical for creating a serene

environment that is conducive to instruction and learning for all learners. It

was also stated that structured plans reduce the stress and anxiety that

teachers undergo during an uncontrolled environment. In turn, the structured

plans would support novice teachers in their attempts to keep a well-managed

classroom, as well as veteran teachers with underdeveloped management

strategies. The student-teacher's relationships are the most significant

component of classroom management and are crucial in creating an effective

community of learners. These relationships are manifested in all aspects of

classroom management from the choice of teaching methods to behavioral

management. teacher's relationship, For some children, the student- created

with managing behavioral issues which provides emotional security and a

model for future social interactions. The study of Ydia (2018) on the

classroom management practices and performance of pupils in the

Elementary schools in the Division of Cavite, has these findings, she found

out that almost all the variables used in classroom management practices are

being used teachers themselves to enhance the performance of the pupils.

She recommended and suggested that teachers should expose for more

seminars and workshops on different teaching strategies and techniques,


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 42

school administrators should motivate/ encourages teachers to be enrolled

and attend graduate studies to enhance their administration and supervisory

capabilities; principals consistently/constantly monitor and observe teachers

so that they can suggest the best techniques and strategies to meet the

needs of the learners in order to attain classroom management goals and

priorities; review the performance evaluation criteria giving more weight to

pupils/learners achievement level; the proposed action plan should be

submitted to the Division of Cavite for implementation in order to strengthen

their management capabilities, disseminated and discussed all concerned

information/purpose and to elicit feedbacks. Furthermore, he emphasized that

for a teacher to become competent, he must continually upgrade himself in

terms of knowledge, skills, values, and motivation to excel in one's area of

discipline. The study addressed the following questions: 1. The classroom

management practices of teachers were highly competent. 2. The

assessment of the respondent with regards to classroom management

practices has no significant difference. 3. The performance of the learners

for the school 2015-2016 with a mean performance score (MPS) of 63.42

which was interpreted as average. 4. There was a significant relationship

between the classroom management practices of teachers and performance

of the learners. 5.The problem has been identified and pinpointed that it could

be resolved if it is properly addressed by the school administrators. 6. The


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 43

improve the academic performance of the learners.

According to RICARTE M. CANDIA (2020) MANAGEMENT

aims to assess the classroom management practices of the teachers and the

academic performance of the learners toward the development of the

problems:

1.How do the school heads, teachers, and PTA officers assessed the

Effective classroom management must be aligned with instructional goals and

activities. Brophy noted that when teachers identify what a good student's

behavior looks like, they can work backwards from desired outcomes to

determine which management systems will be most effective. Arriving in class

and being in one's seat on time, being prepared for a lesson, paying attention,

volunteering information and responding to questions lead to effective class

control. Accepted behaviors may vary for different classrooms and unique

strategies may be adopted for different contexts and environments that

emerge in. classrooms.

According to Dennis G. Caballes, Beverly O. Palma (2018)

“STUDENTS’ MISBEHAVIOR AND BEHAVIORAL CLASSROOM

MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AS PERCEIVED BY STUDENTS AND

TEACHERS: BASIS FOR INTERVENTION PROGRAM”. The study

investigates the perceptions of grade seven students and teachers regarding

classroom misbehaviors and the corresponding management practices.

Utilizing a descriptive survey design, data was collected from 30 grade seven

students and 7 teachers at the Maranatha Christian Academy of Manila.

Analysis involved percentages, mean, and standard deviation. The identified

frequent misbehaviors included failure to submit assignments on time, verbal

aggression, foul language, inattentiveness, physical aggression, and bullying.


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 46

Among the classroom management practices, low-profile intervention and

assertive I-message exhibited lower dispersion. The study recommends the

implementation and evaluation of a proposed behavioral intervention program

for managing students' misbehavior. Based on the findings, it is concluded

that addressing misbehaviors, especially related to assignment submission

and verbal aggression, requires assertive classroom management. The

proposed intervention program is recommended for implementation, with a

call for further studies involving a larger respondent pool in diverse research

environments.

According to Ashton J. Kirkpatrick (2019) The Impact Student Behavior the

Impact Student Behavior has on Learning. This action research project was

conducted to determine if a child’s behavior can affect their learning,

especially in the area of early literacy. Information from FAST Bridge and the

documentation from the “Check In/Check Out” process was used to

determine if certain students using this process struggled in the area of

literacy. After analyzing the data, it was determined that this certain student

that was followed did struggle in the area of literacy and showed signs of

emotional and social concerns alongside their behaviors. After the “Check

In/Check Out process was implemented, the student showed academic

growth according to the FAST literacy screener. The Impact Student Behavior

has on Learning. It seems as if the expectations of what is expected of a


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 47

student in all grades have become way higher than ever before. Teachers

have noticed a shift in what they are expected to teach, and the standards of

each grade level reflect that. Kindergarten is often compared to the new first

grade by teachers and even parents. With the higher expectations,

conversations have been heightened on the subject of whether we are

pushing our students too much and possibly behaviors are occurring due to

those higher expectations. The researcher is curious about how a child’s

behavior may impact their learning, which seems to be just a loop of the

behaviors stemming from the student workload. A child’s behavior can be

completely different than the next child’s, so the researcher was wondering

how the screener and assessment scores look. The researcher has hada

different experience in a kindergarten classroom this year in the area of

behaviors. She wondered if a student’s behavior does affect how they test. If

a child’s test scores are low in a certain academic area, that could indicate

that their behavior during core instruction time is interfering with their learning.

There are many different ways that a teacher can manage the behaviors in

their classrooms. Students also react to these implementations differently,

and changes may need to be made. Each year a teacher’s classroom has

different behaviors from the previous years which means that their routines

and the way they teach different strategies may be changed. The overall goal

of any teacher and any school is to support a student academically and

socially and emotionally. A school or district usually has some type of positive
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 48

behavior implementation in place for their students and this system is the

support that teachers rely on. The wonderful thing about a specific support

system is that all staff and all students are aware of this system and everyone

knows the expectations. Most students, even in elementary school, are

expected to rotate or travel between different teachers and when students

know that all teachers expect the same thing, the success is higher. Teachers

use many different methods to manage their classrooms, including the

Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS). The consideration of

classroom management components and possible outside reasons for the

child’s behavior will be explored as well. Assessments and screeners are

typically the same from year to year, so they would be a great indicator of

how and if behaviors affect the child’s learning. Districts across the country

use different indicators and screeners on their students to analyze student

achievement. These screeners are simply a screener and give teachers the

opportunity to look at each student's successes and the growth they have

made. Data is a substantial part of a teacher's instruction and guides the way

a teacher's core instruction time may look. Teachers, administration,

instructional coaches, and many more take times to analyze each child’s data

to determine areas of need and areas of success. Formative Assessment

System for Teachers (FAST) Bridge is a screener that some may use to

collect literacy, math and social and emotional data on their students. This

screener is proven to save time for teachers, enable data-based decisions,


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 49

improve student outcomes, and best of all, it is easy to use. This screener will

determine if a child is below, on track or above benchmark in any given area

of literacy, math and social and emotional behaviors. This information is

analyzed by professionals and instruction decisions are usually made

because of this data. This screener does not tell a teacher if a child is being

bad or showing behaviors because of a certain something, but it can help

determine if a child is suffering in a certain area.

According to Ballena, John Allen (2019) A Synthesis of Studies Pertaining

to Building Conditions, Student Achievement, Student Behavior, and Student

Attitude. The relationships between building condition and student

achievement, student behavior, and student attitude were investigated by

reviewing research. A synthesis of research studies was completed. A matrix

was replicated from Remasters’ study that identified the researchers used in

each study. The matrix presented each author and the areas each author

researched. The first task was to determine if a substantial amount of

research was available from the time period. Current research through

journals, research reports, briefs, and theses and dissertations supported this.

The main research question examined if current relationships existed

between building conditions and student achievement, student behavior, and

student attitude by synthesizing several studies. The results of the studies

within this time period presented many new phenomena and also either
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 50

substantiated or refuted findings in the previous syntheses conducted by

Weinstein, McGuffey, and Remasters. Over one hundred pieces of literature

were reviewed that supported a preponderance of evidence, which

broadened the field of focus to include certain variables that affect student

achievement, student behavior, and student attitude. There were 54 studies

to be synthesized and included some independent variables presented in

Lemasters’ study, as well as the variables of lighting, acoustics, school age,

density, climate conditions, design features, teachers, attendance, attitudes,

miscellaneous studies, and building conditions.There were 35 dissertations

reviewed that involved the dependent and independent variables mentioned

above. Student academics, student perceptions and attitudes, and behavioral

statistics were analyzed within each study. Each analysis of studies included

the author of the study, the title of the document, the purpose of the study, the

sample population used in the study, the statistical methodology used, the

independent and dependent variables identified, and the findings and

conclusions. The studies were formatted in a matrix and identified the number

of studies in which the dependent variables of student achievement, student

attitude, and student behavior. The majority of all 54 studies involving building

conditions and independent variables, had a direct influence on student

achievement, student behavior, and student attitude. Newer, well maintained,

schools had a positive influence on the dependent variables, while older, less

cared for, and non-modernized schools had an adverse relationship to


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 51

student achievement, student behavior, and student attitude. The results of

the previous three syntheses, along with the results of the findings in this

study supported and indicated that building condition was directly related to

student achievement, student behavior, and student attitude.

According to Torio, Von Anthony G. (2018) Brain teaching in the

Philippines: Teaching strategy for addressing motivation and academic

performance. Whole Brain Teaching (WBT) is a brain-based teaching strategy

rooted on the concepts developed by Biffle and Hermann. This strategy treats

every child to have four brain areas that require close attention. The four brain

areas correspond to four learning activities to address the holistic need of an

individual. The four learning activities are: (1) lecture; (2) individual work; (3)

group work; and (4) practical display. The study aims to determine the effect

of the use of whole brain teaching on students’ learning gains and motivation.

Quasi-experimental research method was used in the study. The pretest-

posttest design without control group was specifically used to determine

learning gains. A set of six lessons were planned and delivered to two groups

of grades 10 Physics classes. Learning gain was measured by getting the

difference of pre- and posttests using a validated 40-item taken from released

international test items. Motivation results were gauged using a Physics

Motivation Questionnaire (Koballa & Glynn, ). The results revealed that the

two sections of Grade 10 science students had an average learning gain of


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 52

20%. It was further found that the students had average to high motivation

with intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the top two of the six components of

motivation. The results revealed positive effects to academic performance

and motivation can be derived from the use of WBT as teaching strategy.

According to English Teachers (2021) Teaching Styles and Methods and

Students' Learning Styles and Strategies in Selected Secondary Schools In

The Division Of Puerto Princesa City, Philippines. The study determined the

correlation between teachers' teaching styles of the Junior High School

students' learning styles, strategies in English in the Division of Puerto

Princesa City. Data were obtained through the use of survey questionnaires.

Frequency, percentage, mean, Analysis of Variance and t-test were applied in

the treatment of data. Results of the study showed that directing was evident

and was the dominant teaching style among the English teachers while the

students considered delegating as the dominant teaching style evident among

their English teachers. As to the teaching method, both the teachers and the

students considered the student-centered method as the dominant teaching

method often utilized by the teachers in teaching English. The dominant area

was the psychological style in language learning while along learning

strategy, the students moderately agreed on affective strategy. The students

moderately agreed on the metacognitive, cognitive and social strategies in

language learning. Significant correlation existed between teachers' teaching


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 53

methods and students' learning strategies and their academic performance in

English. Significant differences existed on the students' assessments on their

environmental physiological and psychological styles in language learning

when they are grouped according to gender. When grouped according to

grade level, students' environmental, physiological styles in language learning

significantly differed. Significant differences also existed in the students' and

teachers' assessments of the teachers' teaching methods.

According to Katharina Sieberer-Nagler (2018) Effective Classroom-

Management & Positive Teaching. This article offers practical information for

primary teachers to become more knowledgeable, skilled and effective in their

work. Aspects of positive teaching and learning are explored. Innovative

methods for transforming common classroom management struggles into

opportunities for positive change and for changing negative behaviors into

positive interactions are explained. Classroom climate, expectations,

motivation, and methods for constructive reflection on mistakes are

investigated to support teachers in developing a positive learning

environment. It is possible that the most difficult aspect of teaching for many

beginning teachers is managing students’ behavior. The time a teacher has to

take to correct misbehavior caused by poor classroom management skills


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 54

results in a lower rate of academic engagement in the classroom. Effective

classroom management involves clear communication of behavioral and

academic expectations as well as a classroom environment conducive to

learning.

According to Howard P. Wills, PhD (2019) Improving Student Behavior in

Middle Schools: Results of a Classroom Management Intervention.

Transitioning from elementary to middle school is a time of particular

vulnerability for students with behavior problems. This study examined the

effects of class-wide function-related intervention teams (CW-FIT) in three

middle school classrooms to determine whether this multitiered intervention

could help teachers proactively manage student behavior. With a focus on

teaching classroom expectations, delivering behavior-specific praise, and

providing differential reinforcement within an interdependent group

contingency, CW-FIT is designed to teach functional replacement behaviors

that support students’ academic engagement. Intervention effects were

assessed with seventh- and eighth grade students from diverse backgrounds.

Results, evaluated using a single-subject withdrawal (ABAB) design,

indicated improved rates of on-task behavior at both class-wide and individual

student levels, with corresponding increases in teacher praise and decreases

in teacher reprimands. The positive way in which participants viewed CW-FIT

implementation and its accompanying effects on student behaviors was


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 55

consistent with earlier findings in elementary schools. Study limitations and

areas for future research are discussed. Middle school is a time of particular

vulnerability for students with problem behavior. Transition from elementary to

middle school brings the change from having one teacher to having six or

seven, with the related challenges of adapting to differential expectations.

Also, many students experience decreases in academic motivation and

achievement studied 99 students moving from elementary to middle school

and found increased psychological distress along with decreased academic

achievement. Furthermore, Harrison and colleagues found the most common

adolescent behavior problems reported by teachers included distractibility,

hyperactivity, and immature behaviors, which can lead to off-task behavior in

the classroom. With limited resources and training, many teachers rely on

reactive, punitive responses to classroom problem behaviors, resulting in 3.8

million school suspensions annually, dramatically higher in middle schools

(Owen, Wettach, & Hoffman,). School suspensions and expulsions

disproportionately. Clear classroom expectations are a cornerstone to

effective classroom management (Kehle, Bray, Theodore, Jenson, & Clark,

Sailor, Dunlap, Sugai, & Horner,). To design clear expectations for classroom

behaviors, teachers must identify both desired and undesired behaviors; as

they reinforce expectations, student engagement in desired behaviors will

increase (Epstein, Atkins, Cullinan, Kutash, & Weaver,). School-wide positive

behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS) applies a multitiered system


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 56

school wide to efficiently address the needs of all students. SWPBIS begins

by organizing the school environment for effective, efficient, and relevant use

of research-based behavioral interventions (Sugai & Horner,). Teaching clear

expectations is a first tier of support for all students, with behavior-specific

praise recommended for students who meet expectations (Teerlink,

Caldarella, Anderson, Richardson, & Guzman).

According to Paul R. Burden (2019) Classroom Management Creating a

Successful K-12 Learning Community. Classroom management highlights the

importance of having positive teacher-student relationships in promoting appropriate

student behavior (Elias & Schwab,); Hoy & Weinstein, R. J. Marzano, B. B. Gaddy,

M. C. Foseid, M. P. Foseid, & J. S.Marzano,). Building caring relationships between

teachers and students is necessary for several rea-sons. First, when students sense

that a teacher cares for them, they see the teacher as more cred-able and as an ally

rather than a foe. This increases motivation to follow directions, adhere to rules, and

put effort into classroom activities and academics (Elias & Schwab,). To address the

issue of teacher-student relationships, this section begins with a discussion about

how to communicate caring and support in the classroom. Then, adjusting based on

your students is addressed. Next, the issue of selecting appropriate levels of

dominance and cooperation is explored when developing teacher-student

relationships and maintaining appropriate student behavior. Communicating Caring

and support in the classroom. Then, adjusting based on your students is addressed.

Next, the issue of selecting appropriate levels of dominance and cooperation is


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 57

explored when developing teacher-student relationships and maintaining appropriate

student behavior. Vary the type of involvement when considering the students'

learning and cognitive styles. Information about multiple intelligences and brain hemi

sphericity can be used to plan various types of student involvement. Gardner (1985)

believes that all people have multiple intelligences. He identified seven independent

intelligences-linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic,

interpersonal, and intrapersonal. To address the various intelligences of your

students, plan for some activities that involve movement, student discussion,

outlining, charting, organizing, and so on. A number of good sources are available

offering suggestions for ways to incorporate the multiple intelligences into your

teaching (e.g., Campbell, Campbell, & Dickinson,; Chapman, Fogarty,Lazear,).

Sandee Graham McClowry Temperament -based elementary classroom

management. Classrooms are fast-paced environments with multiple interactions

occurring simul- taneously among the students, and between teachers and their

students. During the course of any school day, teachers make many rapid decisions

based on the behavior of their students. Good and Brophy spent decades observing

teachers in their classrooms. They found that teachers are more accurate observers

when they have a method for labeling and analyzing classroom behavior. Applying

conceptual labels brings teachers' reactions to a conscious level and facilitates their

accuracy in report- ing their students' behaviors. When observations are unified into

an organized system with conceptual labels, it is called a theory. One advantage to

using a theory to explain a behavioral phenomenon is that it predicts patterns that


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 58

are likely to occur. For example, a well-developed classroom management theory

will explain and predict student behavior and, thereby, assist teachers in responding

more effectively to their students and prevent disruptive behavior from occurring.

Temperament theory lends itself to supporting classroom management. Many

teachers and practitioners in other fields, as well as parents, find understanding child

temperament appealing because it systematically formalizes the behavioral

response patterns they observe among children. A number of temperament

frameworks have been elucidated that inform teachers how to use temperament-

based strategies that are insightful, responsive, and effective. The most frequently

discussed theoretical framework for temperament-based intervention is the

Goodness of Fit Model that was first introduced by Chess and Thomas, who are

credited with being pioneers in the temperament field. Chess and Thomas

maintained that a child's adjustment depends on whether there is goodness of fit,

which is the match of the child's temperament to the demands, expectations, and

opportunities of the environment. When goodness of fit occurs, positive development

is anticipated. On the other hand, when there is a mismatch or "poor- ness of fit"

between the child's temperament and the environment, behavior problems are likely

to develop. To achieve goodness of fit, teachers and parents are encouraged to

adjust the environment to the temperament of a child.

According to Mehmet Emın Kortak (2019) CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

AS ENVISIONED BY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS OF THE POST-

INDEPENDENCE GEORGIAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. In this article, the

experiences of elementary school teachers about classroom management

and the meaning they ascribe to the concept of classroom management were

examined through a phenomenological research study. The opinions of

teachers working at the elementary school level were investigated through the

dimensions of strengths and weaknesses of the teachers, problems

encountered in classroom management, and the teachers’ suggestions for

how to become an ideal teacher. This sample consisted of a total of 48

teachers who served in elementary schools in the cities of Tbilisi, Kutaisi,

Batumi, Rustavi and Marneuli of Georgia in the 2018–2019 academic year. In

the study, a semi-structured interview form consisting of 8 open-ended

questions was used as a data collection instrument. The categories were

created by the researchers comparing the statements of the participants by

using the debriefing method. The results of the study were finalized after they

were revised by the researchers and the participants working together.

Various data were shared in the findings section indicating that the teachers

had strong competence in ensuring a safe learning environment within a

friendly environment with students; nevertheless, they experienced problems

in terms of behavioral rules and communication. In the results section, it was


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 61

discussed how the teachers’ experiences in classroom management were

related to the topics of social culture and friendly atmosphere.

According to Hayley Franklin (2019) A Review into Effective Classroom

Management and Strategies for Student Engagement: Teacher and Student Roles in

Today’s Classrooms. A teacher’s role encompasses far more than just imparting

curricula outcomes to their students: they need to equip students with the necessary

tools to experience social and academic success both inside the classroom and

beyond it. Teachers need to empower students with the means to critically analyze

the world around them in order to develop into critical independent thinkers.

Students need to be proficient in utilizing skills associated with higher levels of

thinking, that will empower them with the ability to identify, analyze and evaluate the

infinite volume of information available through our rapidly changing digital world.

Just as teachers need to take responsibility for the various methods of teaching and

instruction in the classroom, it is essential for students to take ownership of the

learning process, to ensure future success in university environments, where

sustained personal effort and metacognitive skills are fundamental to academic

success. The object of the review of the literature surrounding the roles of teacher

and student, effective classroom management strategies, and successful evidence-

based teaching and learning pedagogies, is to assist new and experienced teachers

in the promotion of a positive classroom experience for all.

According to Sri Wulan (2021) Teaching Strategy in Early Childhood

Education: Child-Friendly Classroom Management to Anticipate Bullying

Behaviors.Bullying behavior can have a negative impact on a child's physical

and psychological health. Bullying in the classroom is a challenge for early-

childhood educators. Preschool is the first place outside the home where

children face social challenges when interacting with their classmates. Child-

Friendly Class is the first step and part of the Children Friendly School (CSF)

as a UNICEF program and an important Indonesian government policy to

prevent the emergence of child bullying behavior. This study aims to identify

needs in the process of developing a Child-Friendly Classroom Management

model to anticipate bullying behavior. This research and development method

uses an adaptation of the Rowntree model which includes three stages of the

process and data collection techniques using interviews, questionnaires, and

observation. The results of this study indicate that the preparation of an

effective classroom management guidebook to create child-friendly classes

needs to be followed up immediately. Several findings related to teachers'

perceptions of classroom management, and child-friendly classes prove that

child-friendly classes have not been implemented properly in PAUD

institutions, with bullying behavior still appearing in early childhood in PAUD

institutions. PAUD teachers understand that it is important to implement

classroom management but so far there has been no manual on how to

manage effective classrooms as well as training related to the implementation


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 63

of effective classroom management. The creation of child-friendly classes is

believed to be able to help teachers suppress the emergence of bullying

behavior in early childhood.

According to Beverly Palma (2022) “STUDENTS’ MISBEHAVIOR AND

BEHAVIORAL CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AS PERCEIVED

BY STUDENTS AND TEACHERS: BASIS FOR INTERVENTION PROGRAM.

This journal’s purpose is to assess grade seven students and teachers’

perception on classroom misbehaviors and on the management of classroom

misbehaviors practices as coping strategies to prevent, reduce and react

towards misbehaviors. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The

sample consisted of 30 grade seven students and 7 teachers selected

purposely from the Maranatha Christian Academy of Manila. Data collected

were analyzed and interpreted using percentages, mean and standard

deviation. The study revealed that the frequently observed behavior problems

are failure in submitting assignments/projects on time, verbal aggression,

speaking foul languages, inattentiveness, physical aggression and bullying

other students. Among these behavioral classroom management practices,

low-profile intervention and assertive I-message were the least dispersed in

terms of practice. It is highly recommended that the proposed behavioral

intervention program in managing students’ misbehavior be utilized and be


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 64

evaluated properly. Furthermore, a similar study involving more respondents

in another research environment.

According to James Cooper (2018) Classroom Teaching Skills.Students

should be given the message that they are responsible for their own behavior,

and teachers should provide students with strategies and training to realize

that control. Research on the impact of teaching strategies geared toward

personal responsibility is strong (R. J. Marzano, J. S. Marzano, & D. J.

Pickering,). Positive benefits for using self-regulatory techniques include

reducing behavioral problems. Several approaches for helping students

assume responsibility for their behavior are presented here. Use general

classroom procedures that enhance student responsibility. Without providing

students with special training, teachers can enhance student responsibility

with classroom meetings, the use of a language of responsibility, written

statements of beliefs, and self-analyses.

LOCAL LITERATURE

According to Jordan Llego (2019) Management Approach of STE Science

Teachers in Region 1 Philippines. Current research indicates that what a

teacher does in the classroom significantly influences learning and one of


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 65

which is classroom management. This study aimed to determine the

classroom management approach of STE science teachers in Region 1,

Philippines. Further, this study will also look at the influence of demographic

profile on the classroom management approach; this includes sex, age,

position and length of service. This will help in providing an environment that

is more conducive for learning. The findings of this study will also be a

baseline data for future studies and may contribute to the scarcity of

demographic studies on classroom management. This study used descriptive

quantitative design. This study used total enumeration with 113 respondents.

Analysis of data includes: frequency, percentage, Pearson chi-square, point-

biserial and Kendall tau-b. It revealed that most 70.8% STE science teachers

employ student-centered classroom management approach; Pearson chi-

square yielded (X (1), is 0.049 p= 0.824) in terms of sex, in terms of age

Corpus and Salandanan mentioned that classroom management plays a vital

role in the teaching-learning process. Effective teaching and learning cannot

take place in a poorly managed classroom. There are principles that are

centered several guiding research-based. These principles are consistent,

balanced, proactive, reasonable, and holistic classroom management.

Vigilant, Furthermore, the teachers are responsible for managing their own

classrooms, in the context, to manage would mean, to direct, guide, control

and cope with. Managing a classroom is a part of a teacher's instructional

task, just like preparing lesson objectives or choosing materials for an

experiment. Her own management style is dependent on the student's

reaction and active involvement in class activities. Her ability to sense any

passive reaction due to feeling of insecurity and lack of confidence is

important in order to avert similar reactions among members.

According to Mastur Mastur (2023) Multicultural Classroom Management of

Students in Elementary Schools In South Cagayan Philippines.This research aims to

determine how teachers manage classes in elementary schools in multicultural

educational settings. Elementary school teachers must design a learning process

that integrates multicultural education so that teachers contribute positively to

fostering students' nationalism and multicultural attitudes from an early age. The

introduction of multiculturalism aims to shape the character of a country's children

who can accept, understand, and respect all people of different races, personalities,

social, ethnic, customs, and religions. Efforts to learn multicultural education in

elementary schools must be carried out as a means of training and awareness for

the younger generation so that they can accept and appreciate all multicultural

differences. The research approach used is qualitative by conducting a literature

review. The data analysis technique of this research is descriptive qualitative using

the content analysis method. The results of this study are that multicultural education
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 74

in elementary schools is systemic and holistic and needs to be developed based on

national culture and character. The strategies teachers use in managing multicultural

classrooms are an important part of realizing the lofty ideals of building the next

generation who have the traits and characteristics of respecting, tolerating, and

being fair to others regardless of their social background, ethnicity, religion, race,

and class.

According to Teacher Meycauayan National High (2019) TEACHING

EFFECTIVELY AND CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT. The Philippine

Education System has focused much of its protection and education work on

physical and psychological punishment in and around schools. Singling out

punishment issues from its context of effective teaching and classroom

management may have resulted in less impact than expected. The

Department of Education and teachers have struggled with the "imposed

“adds on such as "positive discipline", inclusive education, child friendly

school, peace and human rights education and others, to their already

overloaded programs. Though all are important, these have seldom been

based on existing pre-service and in-service teacher education and have

most of the time been developed and delivered through stand-alone manuals,

toolkits and workshops. Knowledge about how children learn, and

understanding about what constitutes effective teaching and classroom

management has increased considerably over the past decades. Schools and
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 75

teachers can dramatically influence the extent and quality of learning for all

students, and we know how! The emphasis must be on success, rather than

of failings and shortcomings. To make this possible, a learning environment

needs to be created in which all children feel safe and understood, and can

reach their potential. To develop such a learning environment education

official, school administrators, teachers, students, parents as well as Parent

Teacher Associations (PTA) may need to reflect on the following and similar

quality issues by asking themselves: Do all students and teachers seem

happy? Do teachers know their students and where they come from? Is there

a sense of enthusiasm and joy in learning and teaching? Are differences in

children's learning styles, developmental levels, and interests recognized and

celebrated? Is there evidence - in both verbal and nonverbal interaction that

children and adults have mutual respect and regard for each other? Is there

evidence that the processes of learning, as well as the outcomes, are valued?

Is there time in the students' schedules for relaxation and using their

imagination in arts, music, dance, games and sports, and for just pondering

about problems to be solved? Effective teachers have learned and

experienced that behavior problems are relatively rare in classrooms where

children are actively involved and interested, and in which they are

appreciated for who they are, where they come from and what they are able

to contribute. Effective teachers have also learned that they need to know

their student's background to be able to understand non-academic factors


GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 76

that may impact their behavior, participation and learning. It is obvious that

not all children learn at the same pace or in the same way. Schools and

teachers may have to consider the extent to which education policies and

practices lead to the labeling of children or to promote the view that learning

capacities are either limited or fixed. Educating the whole person is an

important goal of education in itself and teachers play their part in this

process, by considering and responding to individual differences in

development and learning needs in each classroom. To be able to manage

problems of students requires insight into where these difficulties may come

from and why and when they arise. A teacher has to care for many different

students, including those from poor, disadvantaged families, students who

may have to work before or after school, children from different ethnic,

religious or language minority groups and those with a variety of learning

difficulties or disabilities. Children may come to school hungry or tired, they

may not have been able to do homework because of lack of electricity or

parents who are illiterate and not able to help them with their school

assignments. It is important for a teacher to know a child's socio-economic

and family background to be able to understand these nonacademic or social

factors that influence learning and behavior. These factors cannot directly be

altered, but understanding them will enable a teacher to place a student's

"learning failure" or "misbehavior" in perspective and create learning

environments that reduce rather than increase the effects of such. Children
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 77

may be at risk of negative and meaningless school experiences if a teacher

does not understand the whole child and his/her background, and is not ready

with responsive, effective instruction and classroom strategies. When seeking

explanations for lack of achievement or for behavior problems, a teacher

needs to be prepared to consider inadequacies in the learning content,

process and environment rather than inadequacies in the child. He needs to

reflect on what he teaches and how he teaches.

2.5 synthesis and Relevance of the Related Literature and Studies

According to Alexander Wettstein (2021) Class- and subject teachers’ self-

efficacy and emotional stability and students’ perceptions of the teacher–student

relationship, classroom management, and classroom disruptions. Teacher self-

efficacy and emotional stability are considered crucial resources for coping with

classroom demands. They examined how class and subject teachers’ self-efficacy

beliefs and emotional stability are related to teachers' and students' perceptions of

the teacher–student relationship, classroom management, and classroom

disruptions. In a sample of eighty-two swiss German 5th and 6th grade classes,

1290 students, their class teacher (N = 82), and a selected subject teacher (N = 82)

filled out a questionnaire assessing classroom disruptions, teacher–student

relationships, and classroom management. In a first step, we conducted t-tests on

whether class teachers and subject teachers differ in their self-efficacy beliefs and
GOD-FEARING RECIPROCATING COMMITTING TO EXCELLENCE 78

emotional stability. In a second step, we explored by correlation analyses the

relations between teacher self-efficacy in classroom management and emotional

stability and the teachers’ and students’ perceptions of classroom disruptions,

teacher–student relationships, and classroom management. In a third step, we

examined by stepwise multiple regression analyses to what extent psychological

variables predict teacher perceptions after controlling for students’ ratings,

representing “objective” classroom features. In class teachers, high self-rated

emotional stability and self-efficacy are associated with a more positive appraisal of

teachers–student relationships and classroom management skills (compared with

student ratings). By contrast, in subject teachers, high self-efficacy beliefs are

associated with a more favorable perception of classroom disruptions, teacher–

student relationships, and classroom management, from both the teachers' and

students' perspectives. The results of the present study show a distinctive pattern for

class teachers and subject teachers. In class teachers, high self-rated emotional
