Sustaining Academic Success Through Effective Classroom Management

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study ascertained the classroom management practices of teachers and their relationship to the academic performance of college students of a state university in the Philippines.
 Methodology: As a correlational study, 317 randomly selected senior college students served as respondents. A survey questionnaire was used to determine the level of teachers’ classroom management practices. The Grade Point Averages (GPAs) of the students constitute their academic performance. Frequency, percentage, mean, and Pearson r were used to analyse gathered data statistically.
 Main Findings: When the teachers give priority to the physical classroom condition, the students tend to feel relaxed and comfortable, thereby displaying a higher level of academic performance. Further, students performed better when the teachers positively reinforced their responses. Furthermore, the students’ better performance in their educational undertakings is linked with teachers’ adeptness in time management.
 Applications of this study: To further improve the academic performance of students, teachers may strengthen the teaching-learning process through the following provisions: inspiring classroom setups, classroom enhancement programs (peer teaching, remedial and tutorial programs), appropriate educative measures and proper allocation of time.
 Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides verifications that some aspects of classroom management such as physical condition, discipline, and time management are significantly linked to students’ academic success.

Teaching Practice during the Pandemic Outbreak: Perceptions of Pre-Service English Teachers

“…In fact, as the beginner, pre-service teachers needed to have positive thoughts towards teaching and to feel secure when teaching. That is why complete guidance and feedback from senior teachers in order to be able to conduct their own teaching professionally were always becoming necessities (Afalla & Fabelico, 2020; IJEE (Indonesian Journal of English Education), 8 (1), 2021 et al, 2017;Heeralal & Bayaga, 2011;Moon et al, 2016).…”

“…In short, it can be understood that whatever the form is, teaching practice is always indeed useful for pre-service teachers. Its powers to equip preservice teachers with teaching knowledge and skills, to provide broader insights about professional teachers, and to shape positive mindset and attitudes towards teaching are actually what make teaching practice important (Abas, 2016;Afalla & Fabelico, 2020;Fajriah et al, 2019;Heeralal & Bayaga, 2011;Marais & Meier, 2004;Quick & Siebörger, 2005).…”

“…Researchers have discussed this matter thoroughly emphasized its benefits and effectiveness as an initial or prior stage to shape mindset about teaching, as well as to provide broad teaching experiences (Afalla & Fabelico, 2020;Heeralal & Bayaga, 2011;Marais & Meier, 2004;Moon et al, 2012;Quick & Siebörger, 2005). Then, as a part of experiential learning, teaching practice program for education faculties helps the pre-service teachers to demonstrate their teaching knowledge and ability to real-context of teaching; to choose a specialization; and to establish identities as teachers (Afalla & Fabelico, 2020;Fajriah et al, 2019;Moon et ). Furthermore, studies also reported that once pre-service teachers have formed positive beliefs and perceptions towards teaching, it rarely changes and is relatively stable (Moon et al, 2016).…”
