3.1 Analyse theories of behaviour management It is essential in the learning environment that teachers promote appropriate behaviour and conduct and also encourage respect between and amongst learners (Petty, 2009). It is also vital that behaviour is managed effectively, if behaviour is not managed adequately, the learning environment may be compromised and as such would not be conducive for learners to learn, develop and progress. As a trainee teacher I must proactively manage the behaviour of learners, to ensure that learners’ needs are adequately met and their motivations maintained. It is important to establish ground rules early on with learners as this makes learners aware of expected behaviour and can also help avoid problems arising …show more content…
This, in turn, has positively impacted students' behaviour, engagement, and overall well-being, facilitating a conducive atmosphere for learning and personal growth. Learners themselves are empowered to take an active role in the management of their behaviour through their engagement in the formulation of the ground rules to which they abide, as advocated by Fontana (1994). I utilise this technique when working with learners and during my initial contact with a group, collectively devise ground rules with them. It is hoped that subsequently, the learners will take responsibility for upholding them and in doing so generate a self-managing behavioural climate. Students should be made aware that poor behaviour will not be tolerated and will be reported which may result in the learners parents attending if poor behaviour continues. This keeps the learners disciplined and ensures learners are able to learn, avoiding any distractions. Sometimes when students misbehave it disrupts the class which results in learners losing motivation to learn. It is also important that the tutor keeps a record of behaviour to identify whether the behaviour is continuous. It may be an idea to arrange a seating plan to separate learners who have poor behaviour to avoid being influenced by each other. Sometimes learners become bored, this may be a reason for poor behaviour and lack of motivation. It is important the lessons are varied and interesting as this will also help reduce incidents of low level disruption in the classroom. As a trainee teacher I can promote appropriate behaviour and respect by being a good role model and setting a good example in order to help create the best environment for teaching and learning to take place. Students are to reflect and evaluate on their own practice how you create and maintain a safe, inclusive teaching
