How to Make Classroom Management Effective?
As hammer notes, classroom management contributes directly to the efficiency of teaching and learning as the most effective activities can be made almost useless if the teacher does not organize them efficiently. Thus, the teacher plays an important role in classroom management. According to what we have learned, the teacher’s roles as a controller, an assessor, an organizer, a prompter, a participant and a resource-provider, are all of great importance. Apart from those, teachers are expected to put on new roles including facilitators, guides and researchers.
In my opinion, each role is absolutely necessary in the implementation of efficient classroom management, and each one has its own function. Take a controller for example, he should control the pace so that activities run smoothly and efficiently. Almost everyone has such experience that the teacher controls the time when students do some skimming tasks or controls the whole class to be well-ordered. So it also has a degree of accuracy. However, not every degree of control is good. If the teacher gives over-control in class, the students will lose their self-study abilities gradually. Hence, teachers should use different degree of control based on different activities. Only in this way, can the classroom
management be more communicative and more effective. That is to say, teachers should stick to appropriate way when playing roles in the classroom management.
In addition to teachers’ roles, classroom instructions are very important as well. Teachers often use instructions to organize or guide learning, so students will have a better understanding. But there is a vital point that teachers should make their classroom instructions suit the level of their students. If their instructions are too long and rather complicated for students, which won’t greatly affect the effectiveness of teaching and learning.
Teachers also need skills and judgment to choose whichever grouping method. Generally, the most common groupings are whole class work, pair work, group work and individual study. Each form of grouping has its advantages and disadvantages. What teachers should do is to adopt the most proper way and vary it from to time. And the effectiveness of group work depends on careful preparation and careful management.
Here is another important issue to be mentioned. It’s important to be disciplined in the classroom. To some extent, the teacher and students are cooperating smoothly or the class is under the te acher’s control, or the lesson is proceeding according to a plan, and all of those are possible characteristics of a disciplined classroom.
Teachers should know the ultimate goal of discipline is to make more effective learning, not practical skills, and mange to create a best learning environment.
Regarding questioning and error correction, we have to say that they are also important. As far as questioning is concerned, it has different criteria for teachers to examine what students have learned and challenge students. Besides, different question types depend on different levels of thinking. Through this, students can get the way of their own learning. Regarding error correction, a distinction is made between an error and a mistake. Whatever it is, as long as teachers adopt proper attitude towards errors and solve them in reasonable ways, students will learn effectively. At last, the cooperation between teachers and students will make classroom management more effective and efficient.
From the above views, we can see clearly that teachers need lots of things and apply for them appropriately, which will ultimately contribute to more effective and efficient classroom management.。
