This research applies a survey investigation method and uses students from case schools as samples. The research background variables are ¡§a teacher¡¦s leadership skill,¡¨ ¡§students¡¦ notion of class management efficiency,¡¨ and ¡§the difference among administrations¡¦ evaluation of class management efficiency.¡¨ The association between a teacher¡¦s leadership skill and a class¡¦s management efficiency is studied. This research applies a survey investigation method and uses a vocational school from the southern part of Taiwan as the research subject. The participants are 1,569 students from a vocational school and a stratified sampling method is applied. The usage of research tools includes the following: In terms of a teacher¡¦s leading skill, Mu Jin, Chen¡¦s (1999) ¡§the self testing table of evaluating a teacher¡¦s leading skill in a classroom¡¨ is adapted. In terms of the evaluation of students¡¦ notion of class management efficiency, Chen Zong, Shen¡¦s (2006) ¡§the scale table of a class¡¦s management efficiency survey¡¨ and Jin Tang, Qiu¡¦s (2002) ¡§the scale table of a junior high school student¡¦s opinion response¡¨ are adapted. In terms of the evaluation of an administration¡¦s class management efficiency evaluation, the evaluation outcome of a related class¡¦s management efficiency announced by the studied school is used. The research showed that to male, married, long working experience, and natural science teachers, students have the notion of better leading skills. Second-year male senior high school students have a notion that teachers have better leading skills. Both male, married, professional subjects, and teachers from the National Normal University and first year and senior high school classes have better classes¡¦ management efficiency evaluated by administrations. As far as students¡¦ notion of classes¡¦ management efficiency is concerned, male, married, long working experience, and social science teachers have better conditions. Male and second-year senior high school students have better notion of classes¡¦ management efficiency. There is a significant relationship between students¡¦ notion of teachers¡¦ leading skills and classes¡¦ management efficiency and the explanation power is 44.1%. But, the explanation power of students¡¦ notion of teachers¡¦ leading skills to administrations¡¦ evaluation of class characteristics is only 2.6%. Therefore, it is inferred that under the same research subjects, there is an association between teachers¡¦ leading skills and classes¡¦ management efficiency, but it might be over-evaluated.

The teacher of the emotionally disturbed student must provide an educational setting for pupils unable, or unwilling, to appropriately interact within the regular educational setting. The teacher, ultimately, decides classroom scheduling, academic experiences, social interactions and order of the room. In short, teaching style and the teaching personality shape the learning environment. Style of teaching is evidenced by the management techniques utilized within the classroom. The purpose of this study is to determine if differences exist in the classroom management techniques employed by educators of emotionally disturbed children and youth assigned to (a) resource rooms in the public school setting, (b) self-contained classrooms in the public school setting, and (c) residential treatment centers as determined by the Classroom Management Profile (Bullock & Zagar, 1980).

The diploma thesis dealt with the topic of pupils' lack of discipline at a junior school. The theoretical part contains the basic terms' characteristics, information on teachers' strategies to solve the lack of discipline, and it summarises findings from available literature dealing with pedagogy. In the practical part, opinions, attitudes and experience of teachers and thein pupils concerning the lack of disciple in classes are surveyed using the method of a survey questionnaire. Some answers of teachers and pupils were compared. As a supplementary survey, an interview with junior school teachers was conducted. Some strategies used by teachers to prevent and solve the lack of discipline in their classes were compared with those used by me in my own class. It was found out that majority of teachers' and pupils' answers were similar. Teachers use strategies that not only represent solutions to pupils' lack of discipline but they also prevent indiscipline.

The objective of the diploma thesis is to ascertain the causalities between the junior school pupils'lack of discipline and teachers'strategies for finding out solutions to indiscipline. In the focus of attention, it is to find out if pupils'discipline depends on a teacher's strategies, and if minimisation of pupils'indiscipline during lessons occurs as a result of them.

One of my concerns has been how children behave in a crowded classroom with few available opportunities to interact and rehearse the lesson with their peers and teacher. This research paper allows me to explore how teacher`s directives/ manners  (verbal & non-verbal communication) during the English lesson,  impact and fix children`s behaviours temporarily.  I have conducted this emprirical case study in a religious catholic, monolingual, Spanish school conformed only by girls aged 7-9, who are in the third level of its primary level.  As my interest was to analyze the talk of my purpose sampling (teacher-student) and the interactive behaviour in the natural occurring situation in this social setting, the method I chose was the analysis of social interaction, on Conversation Analysis. This allows me to unfold the talk-in-interaction and concentrate on micro-analytic situations using the standard convention to transcribe my selected analysis. Therefore, the contribution of this paper is to explore and demonstrate how disciplinary acts were deilvered by the teacher affecting the child`s subjectivity and performance in a crowded classroom.

La gestion des situations difficiles par les enseignants en classe est l'un des grands défis de l'enseignement. Les situations de conflit peuvent mobiliser des émotions fortes chez eux. Par conséquent, ils sont susceptibles de développer des maladies physiques ou mentales (Carlotto, 2010; Lineback, McCarthy et Reiser, 2015). Certains en viennent à abandonner la profession. En raison du manque d’expérience des enseignants débutants, ils sont plus facilement sujets à l’épuisement professionnel, car leurs premières années d’expériences sont marquées par une phase de choc de la réalité, d’insécurité et de surcharges émotionnelles (Huberman, 1989; Pelletier, 2015). Certains chercheurs ont étudié cette situation en quête de solutions pour aider les enseignants à gérer leurs émotions : les compétences socioémotionnelles (Collaborative for academic social and emotional learning, 2003; Yoder, 2014). Néanmoins, la majorité de ces recherches concernent les enseignants en salle de classe (Corcoran et Tormey, 2012; Zinsser, Deham, Curby et Shewark, 2015) et très peu présentent la situation des enseignants d'éducation physique débutants. Cette étude s’est penchée sur les émotions et les compétences socioémotionnelles d’un enseignant d’éducation physique débutant lors de la gestion de classe où il était interpellé par une situation difficile. Dans le cadre de notre recherche, nous avons choisi l'étude de cas. Cette recherche vise à cerner et décrire les émotions et identifier et comprendre les compétences socioémotionnelles mobilisées par le participant. Notre recherche est donc basée sur le paradigme interprétatif, car elle nous incite à comprendre la perspective du participant (Godoy, 1995). Nous avons constaté qu’il est possible d’acquérir ces compétences, malgré le manque de connaissances théoriques de l’enseignant à ce sujet. En fait, le participant a mobilisé toutes les cinq compétences socioémotionnelles à l’aide de cinq différentes ressources, qui sont : des expériences précédentes, des disciplines universitaires, des formations continues, des échanges avec les collègues de profession et, surtout de la psychothérapie personnelle. / The management of difficult situations by teachers in the classroom is one of the greatest challenges in teaching. Conflict situations can mobilize strong emotions for teachers. As a result, they are likely to develop physical or mental illnesses (Carlotto, 2010; Lineback, McCarthy and Reiser, 2015). Some of them may eventually leave the profession. Due to the lack of experience of beginning teachers, they are more easily subject to professional burnout, as their first years of experience are marked by a phase of reality shock, insecurity and emotional overloads (Huberman, 1989; Pelletier, 2015). Some researchers have studied it in search of solutions to help teachers manage their emotions: socioemotional skills (Collaborative for academic social and emotional learning, 2003; Yoder, 2014). However, the majority of this research concerns classroom teachers (Corcoran and Tormey, 2012; Zinsser, Deham, Curby and Shewark, 2015) and very little of this research has focused on beginning teachers in physical education. This study looked at the emotions and socio-emotional skills of a beginning teacher in physical education when managing a classroom in which he was confronted with a difficult situation. For the purposes of our research, we chose the case study. This research aimed to identify and describe the emotions and understand the participant’s mobilized socio-emotional skills. Our research is therefore based on the interpretive paradigm, as it encourages us to understand the participant's perspective (Godoy, 1995). We found that it is possible to acquire these skills, despite the teacher's lack of theoretical knowledge on this subject. In fact, the participant mobilized all five socio-emotional skills using five different resources, which are: previous experiences, academic disciplines, continuing education, exchanges with professional colleagues and, above all, personal psychotherapy.

Thesis (MEd)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / Bibliography / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As a grade R teacher in South Africa, the researcher was disturbed by the extent of aggressive behaviour amongst children (aged 4 years to 6 years). Other teachers involved with the same class were of the opinion that the aggressive behaviour had a detrimental effect on their instructional time and motivation. Schools, teachers and other support personnel of staff have developed many cognitive and social support programmes to encourage positive behaviour, including reducing aggressiveness. Some programmes are in individual format and others in group format. However, the problem with these types of support programmes is that they are hard to come by due to cost and lack of knowledge among personnel. A child's full development is influenced negatively when in a negative atmosphere or situation (which includes abuse, aggression or discouragement). During 2011, the researcher took her dog to visit her class informally. It started when the class was having a discussion on pets and the researcher wanted to show the class how to groom and take care of a pet dog. The school’s staff and the researcher noticed a calmer and friendlier atmosphere amongst the children after the visits. This positive experience led to reading related literature and the researcher found substantial recent literature that increased her interest in the subject. The literature review suggested that the positive effects of animals in classrooms and on children should be explored and shared with teachers and schools, hence this study. The question arose whether this method could possibly provide the type of support South African children need to become caring, empathic and understanding of the world around them and each other. This research study was undertaken to explore the influence of the visits of a dog on the learners’ aggressive behaviour and teachers' opinions, which were of great value. This qualitative study took place within an interpretive paradigm. A case study design was used, as the focus was on an in-depth explanation of how a dog influenced the aggressive behaviour in the grade R class as a single bounded system. The study took place over a period of eight successive weeks. The data collection methods employed were questionnaires to gather biographical data, individual semi-structured interviews and observation during free play. Data were analysed by means of content analysis. Research findings indicated a positive influence on the learners' aggressive behaviour after eight weeks of the P.A.T. (Pet Assisted Therapy) dog visits. Positive behaviour in general was also witnessed and, most importantly, the participating teachers were of the opinion that the class was easier to manage and more time could be spent on instruction. The participating teachers provided different perspectives as they were involved in the class in different ways. However, the conclusion was that the positive influence of PAA on the learners' aggressive behaviour was mainly due to how some individual learners were influenced, which changed the interaction among all the learners. It is recommended that further studies be done on the time available to teachers to address aggressive behaviour to achieve a long-term result compared to just solving the problem at the occurrence of aggressive behaviour, and how PAA influences the learners in their other microsystems as well. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorser, 'n graad R opvoeder, vind die intensiteit en die hoeveelheid van aggressiewe gedrag onder graad R leerders kommerwekkend. Ander onderwysers betrokke by dieselfde klas se opinie was dat die aggressiewe gedrag onder die leerders 'n uiters negatiewe impak op die opvoeding van die leerders het. Verskeie kognitiewe en sosiale ondersteunings- programme vir die aanmoediging van positiewe gedrag in die klaskamer is reeds deur opvoeders, skole en ondersteunende personeel ontwikkel. Die navorser is egter van mening dat die finansiële omstandighede van verskeie skole en die kennis van die onderwysers wat moontlik die strategieë moet implementeer, die gebruik van sulke programme beperk . Leerders wat in negatiewe opvoedingsomstandighede (wat misbruik, aggressiwiteit of ontmoediging insluit) geplaas is, word negatief beïnvloed. Die navorser het gedurende 2011 haar eie hond skool toe geneem om by die weeklikse tema oor 'diere' aan te sluit. Die doel was om aspekte van hoe 'n mens na jou hond omsien met die leerders te bespreek. Die skoolpersoneel en die navorser (as opvoeder) het opgelet dat 'n kalmer atmosfeer onder die leerders geheers het nadat die navorser se troeteldier die klas besoek het. Dit het daartoe gelei dat die navorser leeswerk oor die onderwerp onderneem het. Vele onlangse bevindinge wat die onderwerp nog meer interessant gemaak het, is opgespoor. Een van die klasse in die betrokke skool het aggressiewe gedrag onder die leerders ervaar wat die onderwyser se motivering om te onderrig negatief beïnvloed het. Dit het gelei tot die gevallestudie wat die gebruik van 'n hond in die klaskamer as 'n moontlike metode om Suid-Afrikaanse kinders te motiveer om ‘n gevoel van omgee, empatie en begrip van die wêreld om hulle en ander te ontwikkel. Die navorsing het die moontlike invloed van gestruktureerde besoeke deur 'n hond op die gevallestudieklas ondersoek. Omdat die aggressiewe gedrag ook deur die onderwysers ondervind word en dit hul opvoedingstaak affekteer, was hulle opinies van groot belang. Die kwalitatiewe studie is onder die interpretatiewe paradigma onderneem. 'n Gevallestudieformaat is gebruik en was daarop gerig om die invloed van die hond op die leerders se aggressiewe gedrag grondig te verstaan. Die studie het oor 'n tydperk van agt opeenvolgende weke plaasgevind. Kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetodologie is gebruik. Dit het ’n doelbewuste streekproef van deelnemers, vraelyste vir biografiese data, individuele semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude, observasies om die informasie wat uit die onderhoude verkry is, te ondersteun en inhoudsanalise vir die ontleding van die data (veldwerknotas) omvat. Die navorsingsbevindinge het ‘n afname in aggressiewe gedrag onder die leerders na die agt weke van die intervensie (hond se besoeke) getoon. Algemene positiewe gedrag is waargeneem en die belangrikste bevinding was dat die deelnemende onderwysers van mening was dat die klas meer hanteerbaar was en meer tyd tot hul beskikking vir die opvoeding van leerders toegelaat het. Die onderwysers kon verskeie perspektiewe uitlig aangesien elk op 'n ander manier by die klas betrokke was. Daar was 'n duidelike kommentaar dat PAA 'n invloed op individuele leerders uitgeoefen het en dit het die interaksie onder die leerders in die klas beïnvloed. Die navorser stel voor dat verdere studies onderneem word om te bepaal hoeveel tyd onderwysers benodig om 'n langdurige positiewe effek op leerders se aggressiewe gedrag te bewerkstellig, eerder as om telkens wanneer ‘n probleem opduik ‘n oplossing te vind wat moontlik nie op die lang duur effektief sal wees nie. Verder kan ondersoek ingestel word na hoe PAA die leerders se gedrag buite die klas beïnvloed.
