CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN A MODERN SCHOOL

Abstract

Teachers frequently face a myriad of challenges in their classrooms, ranging from the complexities of managing student behavior to the imperative task of cultivating a modern and conducive educational environment, all while striving to employ effective teaching methodologies. Acknowledging the paramount significance of these multifaceted issues, the primary objective of this article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the pivotal problems encountered in classroom management and to explore various approaches aimed at addressing them adeptly. In our study, we used theoretical and empirical methods and identified a wide range of discipline violations by students of the 7th grades of one of the schools that took part in the survey. Such violations include the following: conversations in the classroom, nonattendance, walking around the classroom during the lesson. At the same time, such forms of violations were indicated, which are a characteristic phenomenon of our era. Among them: listening to music using the smartphone, messaging with other students in the classroom, verbal sparring with the teacher, ignoring teacher's questions, etc. Thus, the range of violations of discipline by schoolchildren is quite wide. It should be noted that all this happens in the school classroom. Effective classroom management means anticipating problems in advance, and creating conditions in which children will behave adequately and learn successfully. Simultaneously, it's imperative for teachers to grasp that the objective isn't solely to establish an ideal disciplinary regime or exercise complete control over students. Rather, it's about orchestrating an environment conducive to learning and knowledge acquisition, where children can thrive and flourish academically and personally.
