QUESTION 1
1.1 What is classroom management, and what should its primary aim be? (2)
Classroom management refers to the strategies, methods, and techniques that
teachers use to establish and maintain a structured and productive learning
environment. It involves creating a classroom atmosphere that supports effective
teaching and meaningful learning through the promotion of order, engagement, and
respect among students. The primary aim of classroom management is to create a
positive and productive classroom atmosphere where students feel safe, respected, and
are actively engaged in meaningful learning experiences. This includes preventing
disruptive behaviors, encouraging student responsibility, and fostering mutual respect
between the teacher and learners (Evertson & Weinstein, 2006).
1.2 Why is classroom management critical to effective teaching and learning? (2)
Classroom management is crucial to effective teaching and learning because it
provides the foundation for a stable and orderly classroom where instruction can occur
without unnecessary interruptions. When learners understand expectations, follow
routines, and feel respected, they are more likely to participate and remain engaged.
Moreover, effective classroom management minimizes distractions and behavior
problems, allowing the teacher to focus on instruction and students to concentrate on
learning tasks. It also ensures that time is used efficiently and that all learners have
equal opportunities to succeed (Marzano & Marzano, 2003).
