Management

Cecilia C. Manago Advance Administration and Supervision Date

What is instructional management?

• Instructional management is essentially equated with classroom management.

• It deals with both procedural and curricular components.

• Classroom management means you have the expertise to organize teaching and learning situations in order to enhance maximum learning experiences for the students.

What are procedural components?

• Procedural components are non-content but are processes that are determined to enhance learning, such as classroom order and discipline, and the like.

What are curricular components?

Curricular components refer to content or the topics to be learned.

Factors Influencing Classroom Management

Behavior Modification Technique.

• The most fundamental assumptionbehind behavior modification amongstudents is that student behavior isdirectly influenced by teacherbehavior. Your job as teacher is toidentify desirable undesirable studentbehavior, and reward thosedemonstrating desirable behaviorwhile ignoring if not punishing thosedemonstrating undesirable behavior.Over time, this would lead to effectivemanagement of instruction.

Student Responsibility

• Us teachers feel that students should beresponsible for their behavior, a logical expectationbut has to be enhanced. To do so, we must makethe students aware that they have to respondpositively to expectations of others and that theymust be responsible for their shortcomings. Thistechnique advocates self-discipline amongstudents, which implies that as teachers weunderstand their problems and concerns and thatwe can provide help whenever this becomesnecessary. Another concern of ours is to provideopportunities for open lines of communication withthe students. Students respond more positively toteachers who demonstrate willingness to givestudents opportunities to assume moreresponsibility toward improving their performance.

Group Activities• Group performance is influenced by

peers, and students working togetherwould demonstrate better cooperationin order to gain recognition for theirgroup rather than for an individual.Your responsibility as a teacher underthis condition is to provide groupactivities that would enhance a more

friendly and competitive learningenvironment for groups of students.

Skill in Maintaining Students’ Attention.

• As teachers, you always monitor the classroom actuations of your students. The main reason for this is to show that you’re sensitive to your students’ needs. How do you monitor such activities? Some traditional techniques include seating arrangements, variation of voice, movements in the classroom, refocusing attention during teaching, and a host of other practices. Always guard against creating monotonous environment. When a monotonous situation happens, inject humour to break the monotonycreate a lively environment. Humour is much more desirable if it is related to the lesson being learned.

1. An effective teacher describes rules more completely and implement them more systematically. Therefore, be more explicit about the desirable behaviour that you expect. You can do this by giving specific do’s and don’ts.

2. Monitor student compliance with rules consistently. When needed, intervene and correct inappropriate behaviour by providing appropriate feedback.

• 3. Present information clearly,give directions, state objectives,and break down complex tasksinto smaller and more easilymanageable parts. Give preciseand clear instructions as towhat the students should do.

4. Waste little time in organizing and transition to the next activity. An activity should be appropriately related to the next lesson.

Ways to Promote Positive Classroom Management

• 1. Provide stimulating and appropriate learning environment taking into account students’ personal interests and learning styles.

2. Use a variety of instructional strategies in the classroom and use novelty to break the monotony.

3. Allow students to generate needed guidelines for proper classroom conduct. This should build self-confidence among students and would also increase their ability to learn autonomously. The guidelines that students come up with normally would enable them to become more responsible for their work.

• Treat students with respect and kindness. Express concern for students’ welfare, and provide opportunities for them to succeed in class activities.
