“…98% of the teaching staff consider relevantly the use of teaching strategies to carry out PE class with less problems of Coexistence, something coinciding with the approach of Moreno and Torrego (1999). They state that educational research shows that the variables of what we call classroom management and organization are the ones that most influence and determine not only the frequency of appearance of antisocial behaviors, but also student learning, academic performance and "health" of interpersonal relationships, as well as other authors such as Fernández-Balboa, (1991), Downing (1996) and Jares (2006).…”

“…In this regard, indicate that the results of the reviewed studies show, in general, that discipline problems in the educational field are common to each and every one of the areas that make up the Education curriculum. However, Downing (1996) considers that "the gym" poses unique management problems, such as time lost in commuting, entry and exit routines, attendance control, skill demonstrations, delivery of "feedback", higher student-teacher ratio. These arguments come to justify some characteristics of the area that must be taken into account in its management.…”

The learning environment influences the teaching-learning process as well as the welfare of the educational community members. The problems of discipline and coexistence in class are a general concern in mandatory secondary education. The purpose of this research is to identify some methodological strategies that could be applied by teachers when students in compulsory secondary education engage in disruptive behaviors in order to improve classroom management. The participants are 147 instructors of Physical Education (PE) who are teaching actively in institutions of compulsory secondary education. Participants completed two questionnaires which created "ad hoc" to evaluate the students' problematic behaviors regarding coexistence in these classes. A description was made of the characteristics of the teaching staff and their center, for which the absolute and relative frequencies were described in the qualitative variables and the mean values and standard deviation were calculated for the quantitative variables. The results of this research provide guidance for the use of different classroom management techniques and schools organization considering such problem behaviors. In fact, most of the teaching staff consider important the use of teaching strategies to carry out PE class with less problems of Coexistence.

“…The common format of good behavior games shown in a few previous studies (Downing, 1996;Patrick, Ward, & Crouch, 1998;Siedentop, 1983;Siedentop, Rife, & Boehm, 1974) may be summarized as follows.…”

“…Specifically, teachers waiting for inappropriate behaviors to occur and then reacting to such behaviors with various non-specific forms of negative reinforcement, such as scolding or punishment, are deemed to have reduced academic learning time in PE. Active behavior management programs such as positive reinforcement have greater potential for alleviating these types of problem (Downing, 1996).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a group contingency strategy on student behaviors in elementary physical education classes. The study was conducted in an elementary school within metropolitan Korea. Eighty 6th-grade students (2 classes) and one teacher participated in this study. To investigate the effects of group contingency (intervention), two classes were separately designated as the experimental group (n=40) and control group (n=40). A multiple-baseline design across student target behaviors was used to determine the effects of exposure to behavioral intervention on student behaviors. Comparison was also made with the absence of the intervention. Data collected through each class observation and videotaping of 17 lessons of ball game and gymnastics showed that a group contingency strategy was effective in increasing the percentage of on-task behavior (motor activity) and reducing student waiting time and off-task in the experimental group. Compared to the experimental group, the control group showed no significant behavioral changes. Results also showed that the strategy was effective in decreasing inappropriate behavior and increasing appropriate behavior, which consequently builds on new forms of behavior by applying these contingencies consistently with effective consequences.

Conflict and violence in Spanish schools

The aim of this work is to obtain a description of different research about classroom misbehaviour and evaluate to what extent the beliefs guide the decisions in the educational context, and a description of the main results of research on discipline and school violence. Spain was chosen for this purpose since diverse professionals were interested in discipline in schools.The studies proposed by different researchers will help us to approach this phenomenon. There are several interesting issues that are to be addressed: school life, neglect of parents in their duties, the relationship between two concepts as conflict and violence, the circumstances and personal characteristics and guidelines for developing a disciplinary education programme.
