Teacher Classroom Management Behaviors and Student Time-on-Task: Implications for Teacher Education

摘要

An investigation of 17 second-grade and 17 fourth-grade classrooms was completed to determine the types of management behaviors teachers exhibited and the impact that these behaviors had on the teaching-learning environment for both teachers and students. Four hours of observational data were collected in each classroom. Data analyses indicated that the teaching-learning environment was greatly affected by the amount and quality of several teacher management behaviors. Teacher retreating, which is defined and discussed, was found to be a significant predictor of student off-task behavior. A detailed discussion of how the research findings can be used in teacher preparation programs is provided.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01626620.2010.549714
