According
to Moskowitz & Hayman (1976), once a teacher loses control of their
classroom, it becomes increasingly more difficult for them to regain that
control. As Moskowitz and in my teaching experience class management is one of
the main problems a teacher could have during a class. Also, is something
Universities or Institutes do not emphasize on. Here is when I ask myself, what
kind of strategies a teacher could use in order to, not only, give a class with
all the knowledge a teacher must transmit but also, knowing how to control and
deal with a class correctly? That’s why I decided to investigate on class
management and progressive education attached whit it.
Regarding
to support these topics theoretically, I started with the meaning of class management.
Regards to the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run
smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. The term also implies the
prevention of disruptive behavior. It is possibly the most difficult aspect of
teaching for many teachers; indeed experiencing problems in this area causes
some to leave teaching altogether. Solving Discipline Problems
Charles H Wolfgang and Carl D Glickman 1986 (Allyn and Bacon). On the
other hand, I want to link the term class management with Progressive Education
(PE), John Dewey embraces the idea that we should teach children how to
think and that a test cannot measure whether or not a child is an educated
person. According to this, I can explore some alternatives because this
method could add to the improvement in managing and controlling a whole class behavior.
