Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reconceptualize the homeroom management and classroom management for secondary school teachers. The result of the study is as follows: First, the homeroom management that has been usually miss-presented as `classroom management` in Korea is the concept comprizing the elements of homeroom management and those of teaching management together. Second is the re-conceptualization of classroom management. As the sub-concepts of classroom management, the homeroom (classroom) management and the teaching (classroom) management are also suggested. The classroom management is defined as `the conduct or ability to accomplish the educational activities successfully`. Meanwhile, the homeroom (classroom) management is defined as `the homeroom teacher`s conduct or ability to successfully accomplish the educational activities for class students` and the teaching (classroom) management as `the subject teacher`s conduct or ability to successfully accomplish the educational activities for the class`. Therefore, the teachers are asked to have the ability for classroom management - that is, both the homeroom (classroom) management ability as the homeroom teachers and the teaching (classroom) management ability as the subject teachers. Based on the results, this study suggests some school policies such as the sharing of effective classroom management strategies through the change of teachers` culture and the improving of working environment for better concentration to the classroom management.
