However, Villar (2011) highlighted Owen Villar understanding about hyperactivity, he quoted that “hyperactivity is defined as an inability to sit for long periods of time, especially when the task requires the child to sit down. Roaming around without purpose, restlessness, fidgeting, climbing or running inappropriately, talking excessively, and shifting their attention from one activity to another within a few minutes are common signs of hyperactivity.”
Fine (2012) quoted Cruikshank’s comments, states that: Hyperactive children by reason of their concomitant learning and management problems constitute one of the most perplexing issues to teachers and administrators and indeed to emotionally normal children within the school (Cruikshank, 1967).

Diedrich (2010) cited in her study that the area of behavior interventions in classrooms receives more attention than many other aspects of schooling (Witzel and Mercer, 2003). Witzel and Mercer (2003) pointed out that classroom management is one of the most common problems facing teachers because troublesome students take up valuable learning time (Dierich, 2010).
Orpilla (2013) points out also in her study that teachers are behavioral models for their pupils, consequently, much of their own personalities. Their relationships with pupils can be helped or hindered by characteristics of their personalities. This in turn will affect the kind of behavior children engage in. These situations imply that there are possible behavioral problems that exist and which are to be guarded while learning inside the classroom is in process.
Without intervention, these negative behaviors can persist and appear to be fairly stable over time which can hinder their proper growth and

A teacher’s teaching style plays a part in student success. This study may serve as a stimulus for educators to create and to make novel innovations on instructional methods and materials for appropriate teaching strategies specifically for the hyperactivity of pupils. School Administrators. Classroom management based on awareness of children’s hyperactivity leads to improved classroom environments for all children. The findings in the study can serve as an additional guide to principals and school heads in their management and supervision. The result of this study could serve to improve programs for school advancement. The study can help promote a thorough consideration of the relationships of the variables in this research in enhancing a positive learning atmosphere. Teacher Education Institutions. Teacher education institutions can use the result of the study to consider the relevance of education students’ hyperactivity in their professional education subjects like in the principles of teaching. It may serve also as a consideration for a more thorough inclusion of the topics on hyperactivity of pupils, teaching styles, and learning styles in the
Additionally, the researcher reviewed the progress of the instructional strategies, as well as provided additional modeling when deemed necessary. Finally, the researcher compiled and analyzed all data points to determine if there was enough evidence to support the belief that employing elementary practices at the high school level had a positive impact of student engagement and achievement. It is important to the researcher that students are engaged and excelling academically on a daily basis. If the latter activities are occurring, teaching and learning are most assuredly taking place, and if teaching and learning are taking place, student success and achievement will be
Before exploring ways of managing behaviours and supporting children positively within the classroom/school environment I will be looking at the characteristics that influence particular behaviours. Which can be or become disruptive to a child’s social and emotional wellbeing, their learning and consequently negatively impact both themselves and those around
I model appropriate behaviors, establish routines and simple rules in the classroom, speak positively with the children, understand that children may not be ready to share, and they need to explore and experiment with control and saying ‘no’. I realize that all children may show challenging behaviors – they are learning to control their bodies, and to control their emotions. I feel the most important aspect of positive guidance for challenging behavior is to build strong relationships with the children. These relationships allow me to know exactly what each child needs in terms of developing their social, emotional, and problem-solving skills, their self-regulation, and their
After establishing the positive classroom environment, the next section is based on analyzing student behavior. From this section, two things that were stressed was that multiple theories must be incorporated in a classroom management strategy, and that the students’ needs should be a priority in the classroom. This chapter also poses two main questions which are “why is this student behaving this way” and “what will make a difference with this student?” Two ways in which educators can track and analyze a student’s behavior are behavior analysis flowcharts and an ABC analysis forms. Each focus on observations, analyzations, and choosing which consequences are the most appropriate for the student’s behavior.
Through implement activities in this classroom, I observed that children have capacity to use materials in variety of ways to learn and explore base on their experiences and interests. Even though I have planned my activity and image how children might approach to the materials, I restrain instructions and let children express how they play and learn. I stay beside to observe and assist when children needed. It is treasure to see how children excited to learn and be creative. In the classroom, I’m sensitive to individual differences and abilities.
Today's classroom within the Southington school district has many levels on which a teacher must instruct. There may be a child struggling, another student understanding but having difficulties, another student completing the work, and yet another who has mastered the skill and looking for more challenging lessons. That is 4 levels of instruction, 4 different lesson plans, and a teacher needing to help all of these students at the same time! Now, incorporate behavioral issues into this situation. The disruptions to lessons due to student behaviors is constant.
Since we will be teaching groups of 25-30 there must be regulations, and in order to provide a safe and fun envirornment all of the volunteer staff agreed the importance of structure in the sessions. One key topic that we discussed was how to react to children who misbehave. Though we each have different backrounds we all agreed that the best tactic would be to remove the child and leave disciplinary action up to the schooling staff. It is also important that we do not chastize one student during the course of the student, being as though this may cause other children to believe that they have to act out in order to recieve special treatment, and that is not the kind of environment we want to create in such a positive space. Moreover, we discussed the previous years of this program and its progress.
Throughout this essay I will be explaining how a behaviour policy supports teachers and how it can also create an effective learning environment. I will also be highlighting any issues which could potentially arise from the use of a behaviour policy. A behaviour policy is guidance for members of staff within a school on how to deal with different behaviours, and sets out the expectations of behaviour for all children at the school. If a behaviour policy is written well it will support the formation of an effective learning environment. An effective learning environment for young children is an environment in which all children feel able to express themselves freely, allowing them to learn effectively.
As an educator, I am committed to providing students with a safe and comfortable yet challenging environment to maximize opportunities for interaction and learning. As a group of adolescents, students have a natural disposition to behave in disruptive manners. What I believe is the key to tackling these behavior is creating a classroom management plan that is developmentally responsive. For a classroom to be developmentally appropriate it must be governed with particular elements that do not control children, but rather lead them through the learning process. Managing a classroom as a dictator makes students feel uncomfortable and unsafe.
While the behaviourist approach can be used to explain simple tasks, it becomes much more problematic in the learning process when tasks and objectives become more complex, such as with higher education. Even though behaviourism has had a major impact on the education in the western world, some critics highlighted the theory’s limitations by stating it was merely a scientific model that has been tested in a laboratory under specific test conditions, and how humans have a higher cognitive process than animals. They also found the theory to be dehumanising and unethical, not to mention that there was no consideration to the humans’ thought complexity compared to animals. A possible problem in relation to teachers utilising behavioural strategies in the classroom, such as praise or time-out, is the potential for haphazard, inconsistent and incorrect implementation (Angela M O’Donnell 2012, p
Classroom discipline model developed by Lee Canter in 1987 (Newman, 2013). The main focus was to allow teachers to teach children in an environment where they "have a right to learn and a right to have a classroom free from behavior disruption to their learning" (Tuckman & Monetti, 2011, p.464). Canter also puts a lot of emphasis on positive reinforcement. Canter states: Example 2: Recognizing positive behavior.
According to Lewis (2009) in his book “Understanding Pupil Behaviour: Classroom Management Techniques For Teachers” mentioned that there are some effects if the teachers don’t know about the students’ characteristics such as stress and Post-Guru Syndrom. Stress happens when they feel unable to maintain an classroom in which students can get on with their work and teachers can teach without unnecessary interruption, it is usually part of failure teacher in managing the classroom misbehavior of students and Post-Guru Syndrom happens when the teachers become inconsistent to implement the appropriate technique in teaching for students and finally
Redl and Wattenberg believe that students behave differently when they are in a group than they would individually. Behavior is influenced through group dynamics and peer pressure. Because of this, teachers need to manipulate the whole group of students, not just individuals. Redl and Wattenberg believe that in order for teachers to be effective in disciplining students, they must use encouragement and use punishment sparingly.
Differentiated instruction is a support or concept for effective teaching that involves showing students with different ways to learning. According to Bearne (1996). “ differentiated instruction corresponds to an innovative approach through which educators whatever their subject area, are able to bring modification to curricula, teaching methods, usage of educational sources and resources, learning events or activities as well as assessment and evaluation methods.” Differentiation in simple words means tailoring instruction to meet individuals needs that is student needs in the school context. Differentiated instruction is the way a teacher anticipates and responds to a variey of students need in class.
DISTRACTIONS IN THE CLASSROOM We are in the classroom everyday focusing in our education in order to get better grade but at the same time we face lot of classroom distractions .We students have different brain capacities, we think differently ,we work differently and we have contrasting opinion .Because we are diverse in many things there will be a lot of classroom discussion .We can even imagine how it will be in a classroom of all diverse students. Even in the best controlled classrooms, distractions will definitely enter the classroom.
