By analysing both negative and positive behaviours using my own experiences and observations, I will describe the effects and impact it had on students and their learning outcomes. Reflecting on this process will help me to analyse their response to different environmental and behavioural situations within the classroom. By developing strategies based around the three main theories of learning, I will explain how to use these methods to manage learner's behaviour and influence the learning environment.

By identifying the main features of the current legislation and implementing my own organisational policies for managing learner behaviour, I will give a brief description on how this impacts on students and the learning environment by outlining the strengths and weaknesses and giving suggestions for improvement.

When considering different strategies to improve and help the learning environment within the classroom, Geoff Petty argued that 'order in the classroom was created by a combination of four factors: effective lessons on a well-conceived curriculum, good organisational skills, good teacher-student relationship and effective discipline (Perry 2009:110)’. I will analyse how to create positive behaviour by using effective class room management techniques to develop positive peer group pressure and healthy group dynamics reducing disruptive behaviours. Using my experience I will analyse behaviour and describe the effects and impact it has on learning and the learner’s outcome.

This Act aims to minimise the chances of accidents and injury, and where accidents do occur, provide quick and effective response to minimise further injury and death. For instance, multi-storey buildings must provide a means of effective evacuation for people with disabilities in event of fire.

    Classroom management is a necessary component for teachers to appreciate and apply to positively manage and adjust behavior within the learning environment. It is important that teachers develop a sound perceptive of significant theories that will result in enhanced teaching and practice within the class (Lyons, Ford & Slee, 2014). Goal Centred Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Theory and Assertive Discipline Theory are three prominent management theories that will endure analysis. Therefore, consolidating the main elements that underpin the theories will assist in developing positive practices in classroom management.

  • Essay On Lifelong Learning Sector

    1524 Words  | 4 Pages

    The lifelong learning sector, I have read extensive papers regarding this. The learning sectors developments provided an introduction to key policies and legislation that has shaped the sector as we know it today. The following reports show the ever changing face of this sector. In 1998 the Green Paper was produced, it was the first policy paper that showed the need for educational skills from post school to post-retirement. Only one year later 1999 the White paper was produced by the Learning and skills Councils (LSCs) this was looking to provide funding for learners within this ever expanding sector. The Adult Learning Inspectorate (ALI) was introduced for learners 19 and over, and work based learning. Ofsted took over the functions of ALI in 2007 for the 16 to 19 sector. This gave learner more choice and introduced connexions to support the learners.

    In the past, assessments were popularly conducted for the purpose of accreditation, but with the growing change in the quality of education, it has become evident that assessments aren’t just products to qualification but as Sieborger (1998) identifies, is that assessment is the process of gathering and interpreting knowledge to make valid and justifiable judgements about the learners performance and the assessors ability to transfer and establish knowledge to the learners.

    Assessment, in the context of education, was defined by Lambert, D (2000, pag 4) as the processs of gathering, recording and using information about pupils' responses to educational tasks. Despite some can consider that assessment is separated from the learning process, assessment is, in fact, an essential part of the learning proccess. Maguire, M. and Dillon, J. (2007, pag 213) pointed out that assessment is intrincately bound-up in the teaching-learning cycle.

  • What Is the Purpose of Lifelong Learning Today?

    2348 Words  | 5 Pages

    Lifelong learning is the concept that learning and opportunities can go beyond that of compulsory education, as well as traditional routes both academic and vocational. With ever expanding economic growth and globalization the need for new skills is more prominent and lifelong learning and adult education is seen to have become a governmental response to socio-economic inequality, the financial crisis as well as the growing competition within industry both nationally and internationally. The notion of lifelong learning also presents itself as a “trinity… of Lifelong learning, the learning organization and the learning of society as a whole” (Hughes and Tight 1995 as cited by Tight 2010 pg. 254) suggesting that lifelong learning does not just present benefits for an individual, but is itself is part of a much bigger picture in the development of society. This being said, with a youth unemployment rate of 21% and a national unemployment rate of 7.7% (Parliament statistics, 2013). It is worth questioning whether or not the measures in place for lifelong learning are significant enough to deal with the growing issues in Britain. With these principles in mind, the body of this essay will look at, and discuss lifelong learning in regards to the 14-19 demographic and explore the opportunities and barriers generated within contemporary lifelong learning provision and practice.

    For teachers to be effective their classrooms should be open, encouraging and safe environments, where a strong student-teacher relationship can be achieved (Marsh, 2008).

The layout of the room and resources need to be well considered allowing different areas for different activities (Bennett &Smilanich, P. 1994) keeping in mind space for easy movement and creative work. Seating arrangements, noise level and room temperature all need to be taken into account when planning the classroom to maximise productive lea...

  • Effective Classroom Management

    1289 Words  | 3 Pages

    Classroom management is a key element to establish a successful learning environment in any classroom. An effective classroom management plan creates a positive learning environment. Classroom management is affected by the characteristics of the students and their behavior. Students’ behavior is influenced by their age, academic abilities, goals, interests, and home backgrounds (Evertson, Emmer, and Worsham, 2006). Teachers need a diverse array of classroom management skills to facilitate learning. A classroom with a proper management plan will spend less time in disciplining and more time in learning. Students in effectively managed classrooms know and follow clearly defined rules and routines. A classroom management plan should provide for several important factors that influence proper discipline in the classroom (Edwards, 2004).

  • Teaching in the 21st Century

    982 Words  | 2 Pages

    Teaching in the 21st Century has come about due to the realisation that the current education system has fallen behind the modern world, become outdated and ineffectual. We are over a decade into a Century which has brought forth an information age with limitless resources and instant access to information. Collaboration has turned global, with people all over the world communicating, sharing ideas and solving common issues through and with technology. The issue has become more so how to teach rather than what. Education in the 21st Century calls for personalising learning so that every learner, regardless of learning style, race, culture, creed or gender, may develop to their full potential and promote “life-long learning” (Collins, 2009, p. 104) for both teacher and learner alike. It also brings to light the importance of redefining the roles of both teacher and learner.
