Case Study In the class of Mr. Smith, Jane is a very nice and quiet student. She does not bother the class. However, Jane spends her time during the course on her cellphone, which is not banned in class. She does not make any effort and never finishes the work requested, she is content to be present and have fun on her phone in the course. Her classmates, who have known her for a few months, and are unable to collaborate with her, simply do the work required in the activities without her. Jane does not make any progress in school.
Questions 1. What should the teacher do with: Jane, her colleagues and the class? 2. What are the most important classroom management actions for you?
Classroom Management Classroom management is a term teachers use to describe the process that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. of ensuring The term also implies the prevention of disruptive behavior.
Classroom Management Evolution of Classroom Management • Metacognition and Critical Thinking • Management of the use of TM • Team Management (Active Learning Classroom) Active Classroom Management Techniques • Old models (from the 1970s) • In the presence of mobile technologies • New teaching methods centered on the student
Classroom Management Theories “Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their mind, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.” Plato
Classroom Management Theories • Behavior Management Theory: B.F. Skinner (1960) • Lesson Management: Jacob Kounin (1970) • Assertive Discipline: Lee Canter (1976) • Choice Theory: William Glasser (1998) • Student Directed Learning: Alfie Kohn (2006) • Orchestration: Pierre Dillenbourg (2010)
Classroom Management Theories • Author of “The Science of Learning and the Art of Teaching”(1954). • Father of behavior modification in the classroom • He believed that a student’s behavior could be reshaped through the use of reinforcements.
Classroom Management Theories Behavior Management Theory: Skinner (1960) • His work is based upon the idea that learning is a function of change in overt behavior. • According to Skinner, changes in behavior are a result of individuals’ responses to events, or stimuli, that occur in their environment. • When a stimulus-response (S-R) pattern is rewarded, the individual is conditioned to respond similarly in the future. • The key to Skinner’s theory is reinforcement, or anything that strengthens the desired response.
Classroom Management Theories Behavior Management Theory: Skinner (1960) • Skinner’s work in operant conditioning has been integrated into both classroom management and instructional development. When applied to programmed instruction, the following should occur: • Practice should occur in a question-answer format that exposes students to information gradually through a series of steps. • The learner should respond each time and receive immediate feedback. • Good performance should be paired with secondary reinforcers like praise, prizes and good grades. • Instructors should try to arrange questions by difficulty so the response is always correct, creating positive enforcement.
Classroom Management Theories Behavior Management In the Classroom Instant Reward Teacher Praises Teacher Approval Providing Compliments, approval and encouragement. Ratio of five compliments for every one criticism is seen as the most effective in altering behavior in a desired manner.
Classroom Management Theories Lesson Management: Jacob Kounin (1970) First detailed scientific analysis of the relationship between teacher and student behavior. Three major dimensions: • withitness or "having eyes behind the head" • overlapping or "teacher's ability to participate in two events at the same time" • smoothness or "the absence of sudden change that may cause students to stop an activity and initiate another in a timely manner or to hinder their thought"
Classroom Management Theories Lesson Management: Jacob Kounin (1970) It is necessary : • continue the momentum or "the rhythm of the activity". learning-related variety or "diversity of activities proposed to students to prevent students from reaching a state ofsaturation where boredom leads them to disengage •
Classroom Management Theories Case Study According to Kounin 1. Observe Jane and show her that her deviant behavior is perceived. 2. Approach her physically in the classroom and ask her questions to involve her. 3. Provide interesting, varied and challenging learning activities that lead the entire group to participate to engage it. 4. Suggest Jane help with the designated tasks and ask her what else how to help.
Classroom Management Theories Case Study According to Kounin 5. Speak to Jane during group discussions to get her involved in the activities. 6. Start by asking her simple questions that require yes or no answers and encourage her little by little. 6. Recognize the progress that Jane makes even if they are minimal and challenge her to do even more. 7. Assign Jane's responsibilities within the group and not leave her aside because she refuses to work, do not allow her time to be distracted.
Classroom Management Theories Assertive Discipline: Canter (1976) Teachers implement a clear structure and organization to their classroom Every facet of the class environment is controlled by the teacher Rules are carefully chosen and are clearly understood by students Teacher expectations are known and explicitly stated There are positive and negative consequences dependent on student behavior Acknowledgement and praise to reinforce positive behavior in students • • • • •
Classroom Management Theories Assertive Discipline: Canter (1976) Environment Modifications: • Classroom rules and expectations are posted and easily accessible for students to refer to.
Classroom Management Theories Choice Theory: William Glasser (1998) William Glasser, who developed Choice Theory, believed motivated by four basic needs: that students are belonging, power, freedom and fun If teachers can create an environment that satisfies these needs, Choice Theory states that students will be able to exercise self-control, thereby eliminating the need for teacher-imposed discipline to manage the classroom.
Classroom Management Theories Choice Theory: Glasser (1998) In a Choice Theory classroom Teachers: • create a “kind” environment • expose students to different ideas and guide students in exploring areas of interest • follow through on rules and regulations agreed upon by teacher and students together • provide differentiation options, thereby benefiting exceptional learners, since each student is allowed to pursue his or her own interests.
Classroom Management Theories Choice Theory: Glasser (1998) In a Choice Theory classroom Students: • actively participate in setting up rules and regulations for the classroom • explore concepts that motivate them and are intrinsically interesting to them • accept teacher guidance in understanding the choices they make The Classroom: Reflects student interests
