INTRODUCTION
Education and training is the part of basic development of the learners which supports them
in enhancing their skills as well as knowledge. Education is basically related to the development
of learner with the help of theoretical knowledge whereas training provides an opportunity to the
same individual through practical knowledge (Henry, Hill and Leitch, 2017). Also, training is
highly supportive in fulfilling basic skill gap of the individual that further contributes in
attainment of success in quicker manner. The present report provides detailed discussion on
pedagogical principles and theories of behaviour management that supports teachers in
evaluating the effectiveness of creative and innovative approaches used by them in their career.
It further analysis the role and use of initial and diagnostic assessment in agreeing individual
learning goals with the learners. Additionally, detailed discussion on different theories of
communications and the impact on learning would be provided.
MAIN BODY
Task 1a Analyse the pedagogical principles and theories of behaviour management that help you
to evaluate the effectiveness of your use of creative and innovative approaches.
a) Behaviour management
Behaviour management is basically seen an effective method that brings behavioural
modification in an individual so that its order could be maintained by them in appropriate
manner. It mainly focuses on shaping up the positive behaviour in the individual by simply
eliminating traits of negative behaviour among them (Carraccio and et. al., 2017). The main
purpose of behaviour management is to teach individuals especially students regarding how
they must behave properly within the class room and other places. Also, behavioural
management seeks to provide assistance in dealing with students having Emotional and
Behavioural Disorders (EBD). With the help of this concept, healthy relations can be
developed and maintained with individuals. This allows the students to remove their
hesitation and apprehensions in relation to any doubt that they possess in their minds with
respect to the class room learning.
b) Explain the importance of behaviour management in the classroom
Behavioural management can be said to be the process through which a teacher is able to instil a
sense of ideal behavioural conduct within the students so that they can carry out the learning
3

procedure in an effective as well as efficient manner (Surr and et. al., 2017). In this relation, the
points signifying the importance of behavioural management in a class room are discussed as
follows:-
Setting discipline
Behavioural management is extremely helpful in equipping the students with
comprehensibility of the ways through which they can modify their behavioural conduct so that
the positive outcomes out of the classroom learning can be enhanced. Behavioural management
consists of certain rules, routines and frameworks in accordance with which the individuals have
to behave within the premise of class room (Gaudin and Chaliès, 2015). This process is quite
essential to be executed by a teacher in order to create an atmosphere of discipline that can bind
the behaviour of students. It leads to creation of a set of expectations from the individuals within
a class room environment. Effective behavioural management tends to pave way for teachers to
indulge the students in learning process in a comprehensive manner so that they can get elevated
in terms of career progression.
Effectual teaching
Behavioural management tends to enable the development of an organized class room. It
can be said that a disorganized class room devoid of any expectations, routine, rule or learning
system makes it tough for the tutor to carry out their role in an effective manner. In such
conditions, students do not have knowledge of what is expected out of them or how they need to
behave to maximise the positive outcomes as a result of the learning procedure (Patterson
Zibarras and Ashworth, 2016). This may result in individuals getting off their class room tasks or
causing severe disruptions. Whereby the teacher constantly redirects the individuals or tackles
their behavioural issues, it leads to wastage of their crucial teaching time. Thus, with the
stipulation of effective frameworks and systems of discipline, behavioural management allows
the teachers to develop an organized class room environment whereby individuals have
knowledge of the way in which they have to behave. As a result of this, students derive
knowledge of the way of operating within diverse kinds of learning instances. Thus, behavioural
management allows the teachers to concentrate their time on teaching while the assurance of
discipline management is done on the part of behavioural management itself.
Efficient utilisation of time

Behavioural management provides assistance to teachers in setting rules, regulations, systems
and frameworks of discipline along with learning before even the class starts. This saves the time
of teachers in the long run. This implies that as and when the individuals gain access into the
learning or class room environment, they have knowledge of the behavioural pattern that they are
expected to maintain. This makes them operate in accordance with the set guidelines as well as
rules for the classroom environment (Azeiteiro and Caeiro, 2015). As a result of this, personnel
are able to carry out the learning and development procedure in a comprehensive manner as per
the expectations of their teacher. In this way, behavioural management allows the teacher to save
their time which would otherwise have been wasted in setting discipline and creating an
atmosphere of learning within the confines of the class room. Thus, the teacher can utilise such
time in imparting knowledge to the students with the help of which the individuals can get
elevated in their life in terms of career.
c) Analyse at least 4 pedagogicalprinciples of behaviour management.
Pedagogy is determined as the effective method or practice associated with
teaching. It is mainly related to an academic subject area which deals in theoretical
subjects (Han and Yin, 2016). The main pedagogical principles of behaviour
management emphasises on delivering best knowledge to learner which would support
them out in living their future life in more better manner. Some of the main pedagogical
principles of behaviour management are specified as below:
Concepts of specialist knowledge: This is the first and foremost principle which
simply emphasizes on teaching students in their own expertise area. This simply means
that if teacher belongs to the field of science then he/she will teach student that particular
subject area only.
Experiential learning: This simply depicts that how a teacher makes their
students learn with the help of some experiences experienced by them in the past
(McKenney and Reeves, 2018). Incorporation of this principle helps teachers in
developing learning capability of their student according to their past life only.
Multisensory models: Teachers often makes use of several models and theories in
order to execute their teaching associated work with the children so that they can succeed
5

effectively by making children learn in better manner. Inclusion of multisensory models
makes their practices simpler and efficient.
d) Analyse other principles of behaviour management for group and individual behaviour
management
Behavioural management helps to set routines to be followed by the students in order to
complete all the class room tasks as per the institutional requirements. This facilitates them to
become better learners who have knowledge of the way in which they need to behave in order to
derive the maximum positive results out of classroom studies. The principles of behaviour
management can be studied by categorising them into group and individual behavioural
principles. The discussion over the same is given beneath:-
 Group behaviour: Behavioural management seeks to organise the learning and other
related procedures within the confines of class room environment in a manner that the
individuals respect and value each other (Escobar-Castillejos and et. al., 2016). This
provides assistance to them in collaboratively working with each other to capitalise on
each others’ skills and abilities. Also, it facilitates peer teaching thereby enabling
individuals within the group to carry out personal as well as professional development
simultaneously through working with others.
 Individual behaviour: Behavioural management principle in context of individual
behaviour mainly focuses on shaping up the positive behaviour within the individuals by
simply eliminating traits of negative behaviour among them. It provides assistance in
instilling within them a sense of discipline through which they can indulge in carrying out
the learning and development in an effective manner (Jackson, 2015). It implies the
attainment of their individual goals and objectives as being a learner by gaining
knowledge of the right way to behave at places such as the class room. It develops a
sense of ownership within individuals which motivates them to conduct learning in an
effective manner.
e) Analyse the theories of behaviour management
Behavioural management provides assistance in instilling within learners a sense of discipline
through which they can carry out learning and development in an effective manner. It implies the
attainment of their goals and objectives as being a learner by gaining knowledge of the right way
to behave at places such as the class room.
