Understanding Classroom Management
This lesson will guide you in understanding a very important concept in the teaching
and learning process--classroom management. Specifically, the objectives of this lesson
are the following:
Educational Theory
Teachers manage the class with the ultimate goal of avoiding disruption. There
are four theories on classroom management. These are behaviorism, choice theory,
learner-directed learning, and assertive discipline (Simpson 2015).
The Choice Theory or the Glasser Model values the importance of making
students understand the reasons behind their behavior so that they can make
responsible choices. Teachers who use this approach see themselves as facilitators in
guiding students make the right decisions. They ensure that the activities, curriculum,
and the learning environment will be able to address the needs of the students.
Classroom rules are still very essential to regulate behavior, however, teachers who use
this model encourage students to reflect and discuss their actions and improve their
behavior if rules have not been followed.
The learner-directed learning or Jones Model states that the role of the teachers
is to help students develop self-control. As a facilitator, teachers empower students to
be responsible for their own learning and actions. Through appropriate gestures, a
system of incentives and guidance, teachers help students manage their own behavior
(Simpson 2015).
