The Effect of Higher Education Classroom Management Behavior Strategies on LearningHenderson, Kalebra Henderson 01 January 2016 (has links)
Higher education instructors experience many uncivil behavior challenges among students in the classroom that affect learning. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the effect of higher education classroom management behavior strategies on learning. Guided by Bandura's social learning theory and Piaget's cognitive theory, the research questions were designed to explore the perceptions of instructors and students about classroom management behavior strategies used in college settings and how student classroom incivility affects learning. The study included a panel of experts to aid in determining the feasibility of the project study protocol, testing the adequacy of research instruments, and identifying weaknesses in a study. There were 19 prewritten open-ended interview questions used to gather in-depth feelings, attitudes, and perceptions of 5 instructors' and 5 students' experiences toward classroom incivility from a 2-year college in Texas. Participant interviews were transcribed using open, axial, and selective coding to identify common themes. Discipline referral reports and researcher observation notes were gathered to triangulate the data. The findings indicated the instructors needed training on how to better manage uncivil classroom behaviors among students. The findings were used to develop a professional development training called "Classroom Incivility: Address it Now, Later, or Never." This project resulting from the study could have a direct effect on positive social change by equipping instructors with better tools to effectively manage uncivil behavior among students in their classrooms.
