Management of Undesirable Student Behaviors in The Classroom in The Context of Classroom Management

Abstract All behaviors, attitudes, strategies and many other characteristics of the teacher in the classroom can be effective in maintaining discipline in the classroom. Teachers who have the knowledge and skills of effective classroom management can also use teaching methods and classroom materials effectively, and can recognize and apply the curriculum in a way that can change student behaviors. However, the teacher may encounter some difficulties while fulfilling this basic task. These difficulties include controlling students' classroom activities and homework, improving working conditions in the classroom, and eliminating factors that hinder teaching. The concept of classroom management includes the strategies that teachers use to accomplish all these in the classroom (Shechtman & Leichtentritt 2004). Classroom management is a multifaceted concept that includes organizing the physical environment of the classroom, establishing classroom rules, determining routine tasks, developing effective relationships, preventing negative behaviors and how to intervene in negative behaviors (Garrett, 2008) Effective classroom management is not only a set of rules and procedures, but also requires the teacher to have sensitivity and a caring attitude (Taylor, 2009).
