Teach Technocrats

Dr. Suneetha Yedla

Abstract

Classroom management is the process of ensuring the lessons to run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students. Without a set of rules, standards and expectations, teachers risk the intrusion of many distractions that can interfere with the students’ learning experience. Classroom management is one of the most overlooked aspects of teaching English for engineering students, but it is one of the most important factors to determine how effective a teacher is in the subject. Usually engineering students’ come with their own challenges and they have their own opinions of appropriate classroom behavior due to their previous experiences under different instructors at +2 level. But frankly speaking, engineering students seem to be mainly involved in issues like shoving each other or refusing to sit still for one hour in a classroom. Such being the case, a teacher should be in a position to navigate smoothly with just the skills needed for classroom management, which means a teacher must develop a classroom management style that is appropriate for the class. This paper presents some Classroom Management Techniques to motivate young students to involve themselves in the lessons in the classroom.

Introduction

Classroom management is the process of ensuring the lessons run smoothly despite any disruptive behavior by students. Without a set of rules, standards and expectations, teachers risk the intrusion of many distractions that may disrupt the students’ learning experience. Classroom management is one of the most overlooked aspects of teaching English for engineering students, but it is one of the most important factors to determine how effective a teacher is in the subject.

Usually, Engineering students’ come with their own challenges and they have their own opinions of appropriate classroom behavior due to their previous experiences under different instructors at +2 level. But frankly speaking, engineering students seem to be mainly involved in issues like shoving each other or refusing to sit still for one hour in a classroom. Such being the case, a teacher should be in a position to navigate smoothly just with the skills needed for classroom management, which means a teacher must develop a classroom management style that is appropriate for the class.

Proper classroom management techniques will encourage students to become involved in the lesson. Students could end up being fed up with the lesson and get diverted by irrelevant activities. However, with the right classroom management techniques, a teacher has a chance to motivate his/her young students and prevent disruptions in the classroom. Finding the right classroom management strategies and merging them with a teacher’s own personal style will help make him/her an effective teacher.
