An Assessment on Teachers' Practices in Managing Classroom Behavior and Teaching Techniques in Pansin Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

In managing classroom behavior, the most important rule is to be consistent in how you deal with your pupils. Praise and reward good behavior and refuse to tolerate troublemakers. If your class can see that you're firm in your discipline, they're less likely to challenge your rules inside the classroom. The purpose of this study is to find out the teacher's practices in managing classroom behavior as well as their teaching techniques in order to address the problems in school.

METHODS

The study used a descriptive research design because of the nature of the variables that were all at hand to produce data required for quantitative and qualitative analysis. This research design also allows for simultaneous description of views, perceptions, and beliefs at any single point of time.(Digma, 2015) Basic statistical treatment like getting the weighted mean and averaging were used to come up with the results.

RESULTS

The research analyzed and measured the teacher's practices in managing classroom behavior as well as their teaching strategies. A total of 30 teachers from Pansin Elementary School participated in the study. With varying Positions in the Institution, Highest Educational Attainment and Length of Employment, majority of the respondents had been working for over 2 years in theschools studied. This implies that teachers were already acquainted with their practices in managing classroom behavior as well as their teaching strategies. The researchers assessed if these factors are evident or not in the daily teaching routine of the teachers in Pansin Elementary School. In terms of managing classroom behavior, the results showed that teachers in the said institution were confident that they were managing the behavior of their pupils well with the weighted mean of 5.70. On the other hand, their specific teaching techniques in terms of dealing with their pupils show that they often coach positive social behavior by giving incentives and praising positive behavior based on the weighted mean of 4.91.

DISCUSSIONS

This study showed that though teachers are confident in managing the behavioral problems in classroom and that they have the ability to promote pupils with emotional, social and problem-solving skills they still commit lapses with the specific teaching techniques that will help them in managing their pupil's behavior like 1. Using problem solving strategy 2. Using anger management strategy for themselves and 3. Using emotional coaching.
