The purpose of this study is to identify student teachers' perceptions of classroom management and methods for dealing with misbehaviour. In-depth interviews with nine student teachers at Ç ukurova University (Ç Ü ) in Turkey have been conducted twice, prior to and at the end of their teaching practice. Instructional management, behaviour management, communication, and physical organization of classrooms are the main components of classroom management for student teachers. Student teachers usually tend to use preventive, positive and less intrusive methods, such as non-verbal messages, warnings, and positive reinforcement involving students' instructional activities, to manage student behaviour. The results of the study reveal that although student teachers feel confident about starting a teaching career, they need improvement in understanding child psychology, in experiencing different teaching situations, and in becoming competent in contemporary teaching methods. Nonetheless, student teachers reported that their sense of efficacy increased from the beginning to the end of the course.
Orthodontic treatment may trigger the formation of dental pulp stones. However, further studies are required to determine the relationship between the pulp stone formation and orthodontic treatment.
This article opens with a general discussion of misbehaviour in classrooms. This is part of the theoretical framework for the research, which was a study of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ in primary classrooms in Turkey and Britain. The study used systematic observation and studied six classrooms in England and six in Turkey. The findings show the cultural differences in expectations of pupils and how this impacts on perceptions of misbehaviour. There were also gender differences in both countries. Teachers’ attributions regarding the reasons for misbehaviour are also discussed.
