A NALYZE
Analyze the different elements of personal/ physical classroom management and
answer the following questions.
1. How does the voice of the teacher affect classroom instruction?
The teacher’s tone of voice is a powerful instrument. It sets the tone and environment for
the entire classroom in terms of engagement, behavior, and rapport with students.
Modulating one’s voice is very useful depending on desired student outcomes. Often a
teacher can change voice form lower to higher to encourage student interest,
participation and involvement. In addition, changing teacher voice from higher to lower,
encourages students to listen to and understand directions and allows a teacher to
speak from authority and guidance. The voice is a very important asset for the teacher. If
used well the voice can capture the student’s attention and initiate involvement with the
teacher and subject matter. A moderate loud and a clear/good voice of a teacher is one
of the most important elements of personal classroom management. In terms of
classroom instructions, the voice of the teacher should be clear and loud enough to be

heard in the entire classroom so that all the learners must pay attention and listen
attentively during class discussion. Also, a teacher must speak an authoritative way in
order for him/her to be respected by the learners.

2. How does the punctuality of the teacher affect the classroom discipline?
The teacher sets the tone of organizing oneself well. The punctuality of the teacher thus
becomes a leading light for the students to emulate. As an elder, the teacher naturally
induces such a response. The punctuality and the behavior of the teacher reflects to the
learners because if the learners could see that their teacher is punctual then they will
also try their best to follow the behavior of the teacher. But if the teachers is always late
and shows laziness in the classroom, then it will negatively affect the classroom
discipline and management. 
3. Why do we need to check on the physical aspects of classroom management?
We need to check on the physical aspects of the classroom management in order for
both the teacher and the learners to have a smooth flow of discussion and learning
activities. Having the best of these physical classroom elements in the learning
environment would ensure the safety and order in the class.

R EFLECT

Reflect on the aspects of personal and classroom management.

1. What does this statement mean to you as a future teacher? Explain. “ No amount of
good instruction will come out without effective classroom management.”
In order for us to ensure the effective classroom management first, we should
possess all the qualities of being a good teacher and have attained all the personal
classroom management elements such as personal grooming, punctuality, etc.. And
also ensure the physical classroom management such as good ventilation, lighting,
learning stations and so on. If a teacher in a certain classroom doesn't know how to
effectively manage a classroom, then he/she will also not be able to formulate and
give any good instruction that sometimes leads to the failure of the students to learn.
