Disruptiveness In Classroom

Findings from a recent Ofsted report have shown that low-level disruption in the classroom is causing pupils to potentially lose up to one hour of learning each day, and that this may have a detrimental impact on their life chances (Ofsted, 2014). Difficulties managing behavior is a commonly reported source of stress and burnout among teachers, and is resulting in a substantial number leaving the profession within 5 years (Ford et al, 2012). Disruptive behaviour is not only stressful for teachers, but it can be unsettling for pupils, can hinder pupils enjoyment of school and can prevent pupils from fulfilling their potential (Gorard, 2010). Although there has never been a time when all pupils behaved well, all of the time (Viser, 2005), it is important that teachers have a good understanding of the challenges they may face in the classroom, and are equipped with effective strategies to help them manage classroom behaviour. After all, effective behaviour management and discipline in schools is a crucial to ensuring academic success and a positive and safe learning environment (Luisellia et al, 2005).

Numerous studies have been conducted that look at using praise in order to decrease disruptive behaviors in the classroom. With my study I will look at the effects of using praise to reduce the disruptive behaviors of a 2nd grade student during class time. The three studies I have chosen to look at that use praise to decrease unwanted behaviors are a classroom teacher consultation model for increasing praise and decreasing disruptive behavior, positive attending to improve student behavior, and direct behavioral consultation. My first article looks at a classroom checkup that addresses the need for classroom-level support while minimizing treatment integrity problems which are common to school-based consultation (Reinke, Lewis-Palmer, & Merrell, 2008). My second article focuses on the teachers to improve student behavior in the classroom and this is

It is important for a teacher to challenge disruptive behaviour immediately and consistently. I feel by trying to make lessons enjoyable and providing work that helps students to achieve minimizes disruptive behaviour. The use of good communication by the teacher can also be a useful tool. This includes the use of the voice, phrasing, eye contact and body language. For example, using an assertive tone when making a request or physically positioning yourself near disruptive students.

Students all have their own personalities, which affects their actions within the classroom. Many times, a students’ behavior is caused by outside factors causing them to act out with disruptive behaviors and disciplinary issues. During these times, a teacher must have a behavior management approach to deter similar behaviors in the future. Many first time teachers are unable to handle dealing with the behaviors and leave their jobs making it all the more important to come up with an effective behavior management approach to curtail those worrisome behaviors before it gets to that point (Sugai, 2009). In an effort to thoroughly discuss an efficient behavior management approach, a common disciplinary problem within classroom and the foundation of the issue will be considered. A combination of approaches may be to needed to stop behavioral issues, such as providing motivation and establishing rules and procedures in a clear way will deter behavioral issues. Finally, an in-depth look at the steps needed in order to implement the approach into the classroom.

There are both general and special education teachers who have reported that they “aren't adequately trained to deal with the aggression, defiance, and sometimes even violence that they witness daily which seems to be increasing in children at younger ages (Ruef, Higgins, Glaeser, & Patnode, 2009). Teachers' lack of time planning, there being a high number of students in the room and only one or two teachers, and lack of administrative support to apply behavior changes in general have all been noted as problems related to

Teachers complain constantly about children misbehaving in their classrooms. Some blame it on a lack of home training and others blame it on laziness or a lack of work ethic. However, that is not always the case. Say for instance, a young man is “always misbehaving and showing a lack of

minimize disruptive behavior such as disrupting group time, running and shouting in the classroom by using different strategies. To minimize disrupting froip time is to make changes in the activities where it can be interesting and enjoyable for the kids to participate in a length of time. Let each child know what behavior is appropriate and not appropriate,  praise the child for appropriate behavior. If a child continue to show inappropriate behavior during group time, I will gave a child a warning if the behavior continue remove to child from the group. To stop kids from running in the classroom I have to  rearranging the classroom by eliminating  any straight  and empty stretches. Creating activities to replace  running  and praise the child

The conclusion that was reached was that the behavior intervention program, Conscious Discipline, did reduce classroom misbehavior and insubordination. When teachers implemented the strategies and routines used in the program it showed that behavior started to reduce the more the program was used within the classrooms. This study lasted for four weeks and to determine the conclusion of the program we took the data from the referrals written based on student misbehavior in the three Kindergarten classes each week. Each week the referral numbers decreased. Additionally, the conclusion that the program was successful was also supported through observations and teacher feedback. Everyday, each of the classes were observed, looking for off

Furthermore, behavior issue is a problem in every classroom. I do not feel that any educator can state that they never had to deal with misbehavior. Nevertheless, knowing how to distinguish the behavior and have the correct strategies or techniques to decrease them is essential. The article have given some insight into the behaviors that are low level disruptive but cause the most problems constantly, those are called disengaged behaviors. Disengaged behaviors are the behaviors that teachers are constantly talking to students about, which are talking out of turn, getting out of seats as stated prior.

All children need to feel safe and respected, so they can learn and develop socially and emotionally however, behavioural disruptions can negatively affect the learning environment causing interruptions in the classroom. To manage behavioural disruptions effectively, it is important to consider the individual’s needs in relation to their situation and which behavioural strategy can best support the student. The main goal of behaviour intervention is to guide students to learn and manage their own behaviour (Meyer & Evans, 2012).

Chapter 1 discusses how the media tends to put emphasis on weapons and assault within the school systems but the behaviors viewed as less severe are the ones that teachers and parents struggle to find explanations for are bullying and defiance. These sorts of behaviors cut academic learning time when it becomes a problem. The causes of misbehavior can be for various reasons. Poverty and academic success are the well-known complications in students’ lives. However, practice management has been set in to place to stop discipline

Disruptive behavior can be defined as excessive noise, disrespect, disobedience, disorderly conduct, and fighting (Debra Mayes Pane, 2014). Disruptive behaviors may also include irritability, anxiety, fear, aggression; therefore, students have an increased difficulty to with obeying instructions from teachers. Most of the time it takes for the teacher to understand that disruptive children, who stress for attention, do need attention. That is not a terrible thing at all. Honor their feelings, and help them find ways of getting what they want without disruptive behavior. Being punished more is not the solution for disruptive behavior, the teacher may adjust their skill to learn to create a relationship with students (Carla R. Monroe, 2017).

It is a fact that classroom management and discipline has always been a challenge to pre-service teachers as they do not know and have not acquired the necessary skills to deal with unruly learners effectively. Often so, teachers in service use strategies that are incorrect or rather unacceptable; whether this is done intentionally or under certain desperation to gain control and respect of the learners. It is prevalent across the globe. Although the South African system has used corporal punishment for many years to maintain discipline and management in the classroom; there have always been other alternative ways which are effective and better as opposed to the harsh way of discipline. The Constitution of South Africa specifically banned the use of this harsh treatment because of the awareness that children are vulnerable and defenceless; therefore they are the ones who are at risk of being victims of crime, beatings and psychological trauma that are an ultimate result of being bullied by adults. My claim is that strategies used to maintain classrooms in public schools are not acceptable if they cause a negative effect to the development of our children. And I will argue that there are other alternatives that could be used to make sure that the classes run smooth and without causing any intimidation to either the learners or teachers in this industry, as the South African Journal of Education mentions that

Disruptive behaviors are conditions that can have a great influence in the teaching environment. Disruptive behaviors unswervingly hinder the ability of the teacher or the capability of a learner to benefit from their classroom experiences. Students attend schools with hopes of being productive citizens of society. I like to think of students as future leaders of tomorrow! For the most part, students attend school because it is the law. A learning environment should have actively engaged students, who are eager to participate and show knowledge is being acquired on a daily basis. However, some students are bored and disengaged with academic struggles, due to non-active lessons. Certain life factors such as family problems, financial difficulties are all factors that distract and contribute to students disruptive behaviors. One of the most detrimental settings for a teacher in a class is classroom management. Classroom management is defined as being "the methods and strategies an educator uses to maintain a classroom environment that is conducive to student success and learning" (McCreary, 2011). Disorderly student conduct is unfavorable to the entire academic process because they impede with the learning process of other classmates and cause teachers not to be able to instruct teachers most effectively.

It is critical to note that teachers remain wholly responsible for the developing and modeling of aggressive behaviors among students that occurs either positively or negatively (Dailey, et.al). Aggressive students are
