Misbehaning in classroom

Every student will misbehave in one point or another in her time of education. Sometimes misbehaving is not intentional; students just do not know the right way of behaving. In my description, misbehaving is an action in the school that disturbs others from learning and makes the classroom environment tense. However, how to address this issue, makes a huge difference. First, teachers should know why this occurs, then how to control it. Why children misbehave may vary. It can be simple; for example, they do not know what to do; or it can be more complicated such as family problems or society problems. Unfortunately, sometimes teachers are too busy with teaching the subject that they forget to identify the root causes of misbehaving. Also, as described in Classroom Management, teachers need to know what student will achieve by miss behaving: “attention, power revenge or assumed disability”.

As Barrie and Smilanich state in Classroom Management, “winning over” which “refers to what teachers say and do to maintain and enhance their social relationship with students so that students are more inclined to work with teachers rather than against them” (p.63). I remember when I was in grade eight, in my chemistry class I had a teacher who really knew how to establish “winning over” with her students. Not only we did not misbehave in her class but also we would feel ashamed if we did not do well in our studies.
