Hi Linda,
How Teachers Can Decrease Classroom Management Problems by
Increasing Class Participation
Copyright © Adam Waxler
One of the major factors contributing to classroom
management problems is the fact that the students simply
are not involved in the lesson.  Therefore, it is easy to
conclude that if a teacher can effectively increase class
participation then classroom management problems will
decrease.
Unfortunately, increasing class participation can be easier
said than done.
Well, here's tip that can actually help you get 100%
participation from your next class.
It's actually quite easy...
Instead of the teacher asking a question and waiting for
the usual hands to rise, the teacher should have ALL of her
students WRITE the answer to a question.
Simply say, "I have a question that I'd like you all to
write answer to..."
Now, instead of having the same few students respond, the
teacher has gotten ALL of her students to respond.  By
using this simple strategy the teacher went from roughly 5%
class participation to 100% class participation.
And, as stated earlier if students are actively
participating in the class then there is naturally going to
be less classroom management problems
To further increase class participation the teacher can
give the students a couple of minutes to share their
written answers with a partner.
The "pair & share" allows students to teach and learn from
each other and allows the students to reinforce their
learning without the anxiety of responding in front of the
entire class.
One of the bonuses of using this strategy is that the
students who usually respond first, the ones who always put
their hand up right after any question has been asked, will
actually develop better answers now that they have had more
time to process the question and their answer.
While this strategy may take a little more time than the
traditional approach, the end result of increasing class
participation and decreasing classroom management problems
is well worth it.
