CHAPTER I

Introduction

Teachers vary in how they manage their classrooms, but little is known

regarding the relationship between elementary school classroom management styles

and student outcomes (Brannon, 2010). Teachers play various roles in a typical

classroom, but surely one of the most important is that of classroom manager. Effective

teaching and learning cannot take place in a poorly managed classroom. If students are

disorderly and disrespectful, and no apparent rules and procedures guide behavior,

chaos becomes the norm. In these situations, both teachers and students suffer. Teachers

struggle to teach, and students most likely learn much less than they should. In contrast,

well-managed classrooms provide an environment in which teaching and learning can

flourish. But a well-managed classroom doesn't just appear out of nowhere. It takes a

good deal of effort to create and the person who is most responsible for creating it is

the teacher. We live in an era when research tells us that the teacher is probably the

single most important factor affecting student achievement at least the single most

important factor that we can do much about.

A teacher’s most important activity in a typical class environment is the one

related to classroom management. Learning and teaching cannot take place in a

smismanaged classroom (Marzano, 2003). In limited terms, classroom management is

the management of the class by educational motives. Contemporary understanding of

classroom management approach calls for conceiving class as a system (Aydan, 2005).

Class in educational system is a subsystem of educational management and at the same

time a formal organization. Within this framework, classroom management could be


2

defined as the process of arranging the classroom environment and its physical structure

under the laws in order to satisfy the expectations of the educational system, the

curriculum (of the lesson), the school, the lesson, the teacher and of the students;

constituting the rules, relation patterns and administration of class order; planning,

presenting and evaluating educational activities; recognizing students’ assets; providing

student motivation; arranging classroom communication pattern; attaining classroom

discipline; and of effective and productive employment of time, human and material

resources in order to prevent students’ undesired behavior. The human resources

mentioned here do not only imply teachers and students but instead they address all the

people indirectly contributing to the learning and teaching process (administrators,

other teachers, janitors, officers, parents etc.

Statement of the Problem

The study was designed to identify the: “Impact of Classroom Management on

Students’ Learning Behavior in Tehsil Sharaqpur district “Sheikhupura”

Significance of the Study

The purpose of the study was to assess the Impact of Classroom Management

on Students’ Learning Behavior Tehsil Sharaqpur district Sheikhupura The purpose of

this study was to determine student’ achievement due to teacher’s classroom

management style. Wolfgang and Glickman (1980) Martin and Sass (2010), classify

teacher instruction management (IM) and behavior management (BM) styles as

interventionist, noninterventionist, and interaction list. In contrast interventionists, the

noninterventionist teacher may try to foster student outcomes with more proactive

rather than reactive strategies, planning ahead to extinguish classroom issues before
3

they occur. Interaction lists may try to foster student outcomes by promoting a shared

classroom environment for student and teacher (Glasser, 1997) or by adopting a

combination of interventionist and noninterventionist approach. The purpose of the

study was to assess the Impact of Classroom Management on Students’ Learning

Behavior.

Objective of the Study

The objective of this study were given below:

To identify the Impact of Classroom Management on Students’ Learning Behavior

at Tehsil Sharaqpur district Sheikhupura.

Assumption

Classroom Management has positive impact on Students Learning Behavior.

Delimitation

The study was delimited to:

1: Elementary teachers of only thirty Elementary Schools of Tehsil Sharaqpur.

Procedure of the Study

This study was quantitative and causal comparative in nature. It was survey

research which is based on an instrument which is on 5-point Likert scale. The

responses are in the form of numbers which is measurable statically so it is a

quantitative research. The population of the study was all public schools of Elementary

level at Tehsil Sharaqpur. Sample of the study was 30 Public Elementary schools from

Tehsil Sharaqpur were drawn through convenience sampling in which the 300 teachers
4

were selected for data collection. It was a causal comparative research in which the

participants of the study were provided with a questionnaire to give their opinion on the

scale. The data was collected once from each participant of the study. After review the

literature, articles, reports, document, prepared a questionnaire with the help of

supervisor. A scale was developed to get the necessary information about the Impact of

Classroom Management on Students’ Learning Behavior Tehsil Sharaqpur district

Sheikhupura. Data was collected from 30 Public Elementary Schools from Tehsil

Sharaqpur by self-approach and fellows help we collect data from the selected sample.

Data was collected through the above-mentioned research instruments, analyzed and

discussed with supervisor. To analyze the data students’ responses were converted in

numerical scale according to the following description: The data is entered into SPSS

version 15.00 for the analysis of questionnaire to check the Impact of Classroom

Management on Students Learning Behavior Tehsil Sharaqpur district Sheikhupura.

Key terms

Classroom management; Classroom management is defined as the methods

and strategies an educator uses to maintain a classroom environment that is conducive

to student success and learning.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

This chapter deals with the review of available literature on the Secondary

education in Pakistan. In the final section, a critical review of the related research has

been presented.

Classroom Management

The quality of teacher-student relationship is an essential determining factor in

the quality of classroom management. In order to obtain a good relation and

communication between the student and the teacher, it is required that the relationship

between the teacher and the student be open, transparent, direct and be based on trust

and mutual appreciation; the teacher and the student carry the feeling of dependency;

the particular assets, interests and skills of the students and their differences be taken

into account; and the needs of the teachers and students be satisfied reciprocally

(Gordon, 1974). In accordance with the personal development of the students,

classroom management alters; in the primary years the children are more in need of

rules and customs in the classroom. In the following years with commence of

adolescence, the problems of obeying the order increase. Students develop anger and

take a stand against adult authority.

Classroom Management and Teachers

Teachers should be sensitive especially in this period. Orientation towards

desiderative statements instead of imperative narratives, bargaining for touchiness and

diffidence of the students differentiate the verbal and silent reactions that the teacher

receives (Brophy, 1988). Another important aspect of classroom management is to


6

ensure the motivation of the students and keep their attention focused on educational

activities throughout the course. What students complain generally is not the difficulty

of the course, but the dullness of it. It is evident that the dullness of the course is related

to teachers’ skills regarding classroom management. We can state that dullness emerges

from the rupture between what is expected from us and what we apply in life (Occitan,

2006). Emphasizing not to be anxious about failing and encouraging may motivate

especially timid students. The fact that everyone can make mistakes and that the

important thing is to learn from our failures applies to the teachers as well. Students

should be freed from worries of being embarrassed, diffidence related to failure,

criticisms, being ridiculous, humiliation and punishment and an environment free of

these worries should be created in the classroom (Martin, 1983: 77). According to the

studies on classroom management, teacher’s undesired attitude may be the reason for

student’s undesired behaviour (Cummings, 2000). For example, a threatening and

frowning environment hinders effective learning process since hormone excretion as a

consequence of stress affects the learning process negatively (Cummings, 2000).

Teachers and administrators intermediate for disciplinary problems under these

conditions: a) forcing students to learn meaningless subjects; b) being insufficient in

managing the development of independent thinking patterns; c) applying strict control

over the students, failing to create an environment in which the students feel

autonomous and d) using discipline procedures that give prominence to wrong

behaviour (Edwards, 1997; Celep, 2002: 171). Every teacher confronts problematic

attitude during their tutorage.

In general, teachers without sufficient knowledge and skills regarding

classroom management and new starters find no way out and some teachers use their
7

authority obtained from their classroom status in order to employ the easiest and most

dangerous way, namely constraint, violence and even threatening. Such classroom

management strategies do not serve for solving problems; instead they cause the

classroom environment to corrupt and new profound problems to emerge. Focusing

excessively on undesired behaviour spoils the natural course of the class (Çelik, 2005).

There may be conditions under which the most undesired tool should be used in

classroom management. Punishment is one of these. Punishment here refers to teacher’s

making the student confront with an unwanted and unfavorable situation. Punishment

may be used in order to prevent adverse behavior and to establish order (Rich, 1991;

Baúar, 1999: 142). Physical punishment is against the law and human honor; its long-

term effects are destructive and make people aggressive (Cangelosi, 1988; Rich, 1991;

Baúar, 1999: 143). The behavior seen as the negative impacts of punishment can be

listed as: hindering learning, spoiling relations, alienating from school, enhancing

feelings of guilt and fear, rendering teacher as a negative model in the eyes of the

children, skipping school, excessive anxiety and vandalism (Brown, 1982; Hull, 1990;

Rich, 1991; Baúar, 1999). In brief, punishment resembles medicine; when not given on

time, to the right dimension and when necessary, punishment, just like medicine, has

side effects (damage), which are more than its benefits, and make classroom

management more difficult. For a teacher, who often gives punishment, the worst

consequence of punishment is (once more like consistently used medicines) that its

effect fade away in time. Most of the people regard the word ‘discipline’ as physical

punishment. Discipline is not punishment; instead it is the act of teaching students self-

control (Cummings, 2000). Other people view discipline as the strict control and

autocratic administration of rules and regulations. Individuals who are subject to


8

disciplinary procedures tend to overlook the process of establishment of these rules and

do not take their implication into account (Dreikurs, 1988; Babalola, 2008). Discipline

is regarded as solely control at schools (Wlodkowski, 1982; Teyfur ve Celikten, 2008).

Classroom Management and Schools

Classroom management is a major concern in schools today. According to

Martin and Sass (2010), classroom management entails an “umbrella of definitions that

include learning interactions, learning, and the behavior of students” (p. 1125). Walker

(2009) stated, “The best teachers don’t simply teach content, they teach people”

(p.122). According to Marzano, Pickering, and Pollack (2001), to effectively teach their

students, teachers need to employ effective behavior management strategies, implement

effective instructional strategies, and develop a strong curriculum. In addition to

managing the instruction in the classroom, a teacher’s most significant challenge is also

managing the behavior of students in the classroom because of how it can affect

instruction, learning, and achievement. Since the mandates associated with the federal

law NCLB (No Child Left Behind), the CCRPI (College and Career Ready Performance

Index), and achievement based programs, such as Race to the Top; teachers are

concerned about punishing students in ways that will remove them from the regular

classroom setting. Nevertheless, when they decide to address the discipline issue,

students are removed from their instructional area of expertise to a possibly weaker and

undertrained skill of classroom management, like ISS (Etheridge, 2001). Teachers must

continuously decide whether they should address disruptive behavior through

disciplinary actions or continue to attempt to teach those students (Etheridge, 2010).

Educators cannot meet the demands of these mandated plans without effective

classroom management strategies employed in their classrooms.


9

Classroom management decisions should be towards provision of quality and

continuity of the education, rather than control (Brophy, 1988). The evaluation of the

studies conducted with 11.000 statistical findings, 28 factors within a time period

covering 50 years shows that when cognitive processes are compared to home

environment, family support, school culture, programmers pattern and demographic

structure of the school, classroom management is considered as the most important

factor (Cummings, 2000). Brophy and Everston state that, whether students’ learning

level or their grades be taken as an indicator of success, in almost all studies classroom

management has seen to be of primary importance in determining teachers’ ability to

teach. In a study held between 1980 and 1982, Emmer, Evertson and Anderson showed

the necessity of consulting theoretical and implicational knowledge in order to attain

effective classroom management as soon as the school year starts. However, there is

strong evidence that teachers indicate the insufficiency of their training prior to

employment in terms of classroom management (Reed, 1989; Rickman,

Hollowell.1981; Vocke, 1992; Celep, 2002). Jere Brophy conducted valuable research

on classroom management strategies during the second half of the 1990s. In his research

he found out that effective class managers were the ones that employed different

strategies in accordance with different characteristics of students, whereas those

ineffective made use of same strategies without paying attention to the varying

characteristics of students. According to Brophy, teachers need to develop their

personal and professional skills in order to respond to the varying student needs. In a

study held by Margaret Wang, Geneva Haertel and Herbert Wallberg, it is observed

that among 228 factors “classroom management” factor is the most important one as a

determinant of student achievement (Marzano, 2003). Studies show that true beginners
10

tend to cooperate more with the students while, as teachers get experienced, they prefer

authoritarian relations that negatively affect students (Morzano, 2003). According to a

study held in England, the following are determined as the features of a successfully-

managed classroom: Classroom environment is appropriate for teacher’s activities.

Tools and equipment allocation is considered important. Different methods are used in

accordance with the learning needs of the students and the size of the group. The ones

with endowments are placed in groups where it is possible to demonstrate these skills.

Teaching method: Teaching manner is appropriately chosen in line with the subject and

the student needs. Evaluation, duty and identification formation: Most of the evaluation

is informal and is based on discussion and observation (Farell, 1999). It was requested

from the teachers not to award the students for a couple of weeks in a classroom with

students who demonstrate successful and desired behavior and after this period it was

observed that the students tended to perform unsuccessful and unwanted behavior

(Becker, Engelmann, and Thomas, 1975; Celep, 2002: 131). Another research has

proved that teachers giving punishment whenever it is obligatory are effective (Brophy,

1988). According to Okutan’s research (2006), teachers try to prevent undesirable

behavior mostly by “posing questions” and “eye-contact”. “Absolute obedience”

occupies an important position in teachers’ understanding of discipline. According to

Baúar’s study (1999) on classroom management, teachers ranked medium in building

up interest, praising and relocating the student when necessary; and ranked high in

listening to the students.

Behavior Management

Behavior and classroom management are the two variables that have the

Greatest impact on student learning (Marzano and Marzano, 2003). Teachers should
11

Classroom rules in order to communicate expectations. Stewart et al. argue: "Behavior

Management and classroom control are central to stimulating learning. Research has

Shown that teachers who are effective in managing classroom behavior are also

effective in improving achievement" (p. 55). Teachers should establish a limit of three

to five Rules for their classrooms. These rules should be clearly stated in the beginning

of the School year, posted, and reviewed frequently (Stewart et al., 1997).

Teachers should use multiple interventions that accommodate the needs of the

students. They should also "design and implement a number of incentive plans or

rewards for appropriate behavior, and offer individual, frequent, specific, and corrective

Feedback about performance" (Stewart et al., 1997 p. 55).

Teacher Effectiveness For over thirty years, the behaviors of teachers have been

studied to determine the relationship to learner achievement" (Cano, 2001). Marzano

and Marzano (2003) have found that "research has shown us that teachers' actions in

their classrooms have twice the impact on student achievement as do school policies

regarding curriculum, Assessment, staff collegiality, and community involvement" (p.

6). Furthermore, the Research on the effectiveness of teachers is on-going, but there are

already known factors Which are recognized as having affects on learner success as

related to teacher Effectiveness" (Cano, 2001).A large factor in teacher effectiveness is

being able to establish positive relationships with students. A teacher, who cannot

communicate with his or her students, Will not be effective. Research studies have

shown the effects of teacher interactions With learners and found that "the degree and

frequency of praise, use of classroom time, and the amount of attention given to groups

or individuals to have significant positive correlations to a learner's ability to learn"

(Cano, 2001, p. 6).


12

Classroom Management at Elementary Level

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of elementary school

teachers’ skills in different aspects of classroom management on students’ disciplinary

behavior. In this way, the scope is to increase the sensitiveness of the teachers regarding

their skills in various aspects of classroom management, to motivate the teachers and

encourage them to undergo training in classroom management and thus reduce the

discipline problems in classrooms and at schools. In line with this aim the following

questions are to be answered: Is there a significant relationship between teachers’ skills

in classroom management and students’ undesirable disciplinary behavior? Are the

dimensions of teachers’ skills in classroom management effective on students’

disciplinary behavior intended for “spoiling educational process”? Are the dimensions

of teachers’ skills in classroom management effective on students’ misbehaviors

towards “each other”? Are the dimensions of teachers’ skills in classroom management

effective on students’ unwanted disciplinary behavior towards “the teacher”?

A Brief History of Classroom Management Research

It is probably no exaggeration to say that classroom management has been

primary concerns of teachers ever since there have been teachers in classrooms.

However, the systematic study of effective classroom management is a relatively recent

phenomenon. Here we briefly consider the major studies on classroom management.

(For more detailed and comprehensive discussions, see Emmer, 1984; Brophy, 1996;

and Doyle, 1986, 1990.)Arguably, the first high-profile, large-scale, systematic study

of classroom management was done by Jacob Kounin (1970). He analyzed videotapes

of 49 first and second grade classrooms and coded the behavior of students and teachers.
13

Kounin's findings are discussed in more depth in Chapter 5, but it is worth noting here

that he identified several critical dimensions of effective classroom management. Those

dimensions (among others) are (1) “withitness,” (2) smoothness and momentum during

lesson presentations, (3) letting students know what behavior is expected of them at any

given point in time, and (4) variety and challenge in the seatwork assigned to students.

“Withitness” involves a keen awareness of disruptive behavior or potentially disruptive

behavior and immediate attention to that behavior; of the four dimensions, it is the one

that most consistently separates the excellent classroom managers from the average or

below-average classroom managers.

In 1976 Brophy and Evertson reported the results of one of the major studies in

classroom management, up to that point, in a book entitled Learning from Teaching: A

Developmental Perspective. Their sample included some 30 elementary teachers whose

students had exhibited consistently better than expected gains in academic

achievement. The comparison group consisted of 38 teachers whose performance was

more typical. Brophy and Evertson's study, then, might be considered a comparison of

exceptional teachers with average teachers. Although the study focused on a wide

variety of teaching behaviors, classroom management surfaced as one of the critical

aspects of effective teaching. Much of what they found relative to classroom

management supported the earlier findings of Kounin. Brophy and Everson (1976) say

this about their study:

Much has been said in the book about our findings concerning classroom

management. Probably the most important point to bear in mind is that almost all

surveys of teacher effectiveness report that classroom management skills are of primary

importance in determining teaching success, whether it is measured by student learning


14

or by ratings. Thus, management skills are crucial and fundamental. A teacher who is

grossly inadequate in classroom management skills is probably not going to accomplish

much. (p. 27)

A series of four studies conducted at the Research and Development Center for

Teacher Education in Austin, Texas, marked a milestone in the research on classroom

management. The first study involved 27 elementary school teachers. The second

involved 51 junior high school teachers. Results from the elementary school study were

reported in Emmer, Evertson, and Anderson (1980) and Anderson, Evertson, and

Emmer (1980). Results from the junior high study were reported in Evertson and

Emmer (1982) and in Sanford and Evertson (1981). Both studies were descriptive and

correlation in nature and identified those teacher actions associated with student on-

task behavior and disruptive behavior. Again, Kounin's earlier findings were strongly

supported. One of the more significant conclusions from these studies was that early

attention to classroom management at the beginning of the school year is a critical

ingredient of a well-run classroom.

The third and fourth studies, also conducted in the elementary and junior high

schools, respectively, examined the impact of training in classroom management

techniques based on findings from the first two studies. The findings from these studies

were reported by Emmer, Sanford, Clements, and Martin (1982); Emmer, Sanford,

Evertson, Clements, and Martin (1981); and Evertson, Emmer, Sanford, and Clements

(1983). As described by Emmer (1984). In the later two studies, the interventions

occurred at the beginning of the school year and resulted in improved teacher behavior

in many, but not all, management areas and also in more appropriate student behavior

in experimental group classes as compared to control group classes . (p. 17)


15

Classroom Management and Students Achievements

Together, these studies set the stage for research and practice in classroom

management for the late 1980s through the 1990s and resulted in two books on

classroom management: one for the elementary level (Evertson, Emmer, & Worsham,

2003) and one for the secondary level (Emmer, Evertson, & Worhsham, 2003); both

are now in their sixth edition. To date, these books have been considered the primary

resources for the application of the research on classroom management to K-12

education. The Classroom Strategy Study conducted by Jere Brophy (see Brophy, 1996;

Brophy & McCaslin, 1992) was the next major study addressing classroom

management. It involved in-depth interviews with and observations of 98 teachers,

some of whom were identified as effective managers and some of whom were not. The

study presented teachers with vignettes regarding specific types of students (e.g.,

hostile-aggressive students, passive-aggressive students, hyperactive students) in

specific situations. Among the many findings from the study was that effective

classroom managers tended to employ different types of strategies with different types

of students, whereas ineffective managers tended to use the same strategies regardless

of the type of student or the situation. One of the study's strong recommendations was

that teachers should develop a set of “helping skills” to employ with different types of

students. (Chapter 4 presents the implications of Brophy's study in more depth.)

In spite of the profound impact of these various studies, classroom management

received its strongest endorsement in a comprehensive study by Margaret Wang,

Geneva Haertel, and Herbert Walberg (1993). They combined the results of three

previous studies. One involved a content analysis of 86 chapters from annual research

reviews, 44 handbook chapters, 20 government and commissioned reports, and 11


16

journal articles. This analysis produced a list of 228 variables identified as having an

impact on student achievement. The second study involved a survey of 134 education

experts who were asked to rate each of the 228 variables in terms of the relative strength

of their impact on student achievement. The third study involved an analysis of 91

major research syntheses. The end result of this massive review was that classroom

management was rated first in terms of its impact on student achievement.

In summary, the research over the past 30 years indicates that classroom management

is one of the critical ingredients of effective teaching. Many studies and many books

have been published articulating the specifics of effective classroom management. So

what does this book have to offer that has not already been established? Certainly, this

book reinforces the findings and suggestions from many of the previous works.

However, the recommendations in this book are based on a new research methodology

not previously employed with the classroom management literature per se. That

methodology is meta-analysis.

Meta-Analysis and Classroom Management

Meta-analysis is an approach to research that was formally developed by

researcher Gene Glass and his colleagues (see Glass, 1976; Glass, McCaw, & Smith,

1981) in the early 1970s. In simple terms, it is a technique for quantitatively combining

the results from a number of studies. Since its inception, it has been used extensively in

the fields of education, psychology, and medicine. The powerful impact that meta-

analysis has made on these fields of study is chronicled in the book How Science Takes

Stock: The Story of Meta-Analysis by Morton Hunt (1997).

In effect, this research technique has allowed us to construct generalizations

about education, psychology, and medicine that were previously not available. A
17

logical question is, Why is the simple act of combining the findings from a number of

studies so powerful? The answer is that any single study, no matter how well

constructed, will have “uncontrolled error” influencing its outcomes. To illustrate, let's

consider a well-designed study that examines the impact of a specific classroom

management strategy on students' behavior. The study might randomly assign students

to two groups—one that uses the strategy (the experimental group) and one that does

not (the control group). The study might ensure that both groups do everything exactly

the same except for the classroom management strategy that is being studied. Even with

this level of tight control, the findings that come from the study might be influenced by

uncontrolled error. For example, the way student behavior is measured might not be

sensitive to behaviors that are important to the s
