PRODUCTION OF CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
ROUTINE AND MATERIALS TO BE USED DURING

COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRUCTURE
Classroom Management to Richard Kellough(2003) is the process of
organizing and conducting a classroom to maximize learning. It involves the
teachers action to create a learning environment that encourages positive social
interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation (Burden &Byrd,
2003). Likewise it involves the establishment and maintenance of the classroom
environment so that educational goals can be accomplished (Moore, 2005).
Perspective on Classroom Management

Arends(2004) presents below the ideas that can provide additional
perspective on classroom management.
1. Classroom management is possibly the most challenge facing teachers. A

teachers reputation among colleagues, schools authorities and students will
be strongly influenced by his or her ability to perform the managerial
functions of teaching, particularly creating and orderly learning environment
and dealing with student behavior.
Classroom challenges are one of the adequate problems faced by teachers

and a good teacher has the courage to overcome all these challenges bravely.
2. Classroom management and instruction are highly interrelated. Classroom

management is not and end in itself. It is merely one part of a teachers overall
leadership role. In this regard, classroom management cannot be separated
from the other aspects of teaching. This refers to preventive management, the
perspective that many classroom problems can be solved through good
planning, interesting and relevant lessons, and effective teaching.
Elements of Effective Classroom Management

Effective classroom management is the touchstone of effective
instruction. Daniel Mujis and David Reynolds (2005) identified the elements that
have bearing in the conduct of managing the classroom such as the following:
1. Starting the lesson. The start of the lesson can involbe several classroom
management difficulties that the teachers need to take into account like
prime lessons running late, playtime going on too long, or ineffective
management of students going out of the classroom.
2. Appropriate seating arrangement. Students need to have sufficient space to
comfortably. If movement in the class is desired or necessary, students should
be able to do this easily and without them pushing or shoving one another for
space.
3. Dealing with external disruptions. The teacher needs to make sure that
interruptions cause minimum disruption to the lesson by having clear rules for
students behavior such disruption and by dealing with them quickly.
4. Establishing class rules and procedures. One of the main factors in ensuring
that lessons run smoothly is the establishment of clear rules and procedures
from the start. Rules and procedures need to be actively taught to students in
order to work.
5. Smooth transition between lesson segments. One of the main was to ensure
that maximum time is given to each task is to avoid wasting too much time
during transition from one part of the lesson to the next. Transition should be
as short and smooth as possible. Teachers should establish clear procedures
for lesson transition.
6. Student talk. Inappropriate student talk can disrupt lessons. Students talking
during the lesson are off tasks themselves and can distract other pupils. Clear
rules on when student talk or is not allowed are important.
7. Giving homework/assignments. Effective teachers give assignments
immediately following related in-class activities. It is important that teachers
make I clear that homework is essential and not just an obligatory time – filler.
Homework should not be used or presented as punishment.
8. Maintaining momentum during the lesson. One of the most fruitful ways of
preventing student misbehavior during lesons is to ensure the smooth flow of
the lesson.
9. Downtime. This refers to those parts of the lesson during which one or more
students have time to fill because they have finished seatwork early. This
situation easily leads to disruptions if clear procedures are not addressed by
teachers at all.
10.Ending the lesson. Problems that can occur at the end of the lesson include
not leaving enough time for finishing the planned activities, lesson running
over time, and instructions for homework getting lost as student rush to
collect their belongings and go off for lunch or playtime.
Benefits in the Classroom

strategies. Here are benefits you might notice after implementing cooperative
learning tasks in your classroom:

2. Cooperative learning is interactive, so students are engaged, active

participants in the learning.
3. Cooperative learning allows discussion and critical thinking, so students

Learning helps students be able to communicate effectively with others, work
well with others, and have some responsibilities in your classroom. Using

1. Groups of 4
 Groups of 4 is the best way for students to be able to work with others, but it’s not too
much for a group discussion. I think 4 is a wonderful group size, perfect to pair off or
work as a whole group.
2. Numbering Students
