a) Behaviour Management
Behaviour Management is the method through which behavioural modification can be
focused. This concept is considered to be severe than behaviour modification. The main focus
of this concept is on shaping and maintaining positive behaviours. This concept also helps in
discouraging negative behaviour. There are two types of’ interventions that have been
noticed in this concept. These interventions are preventative or proactive intervention and
remedial or corrective intervention. The main aim of proactive intervention is the creation of
an environment that includes teaching, learning and preventing from behavioural misconduct.
This intervention also helps in enhancing the positive behaviour. On the other hand,
Remedial or corrective intervention is to be used when students are involved in behavioural
misconduct. The implication of this concept can be observed in schools because there are
many ways through which teachers manage the behaviour of students and set rules,
regulations, and schedules according to them. Effective behavior management requires a set
of educational tools and strategies so that it can prevent from behavioural disorders. In
research, it is also been observed that teachers who can effectively manage their classrooms
use a proactive approach to intervention. Teachers need to maintain good relations with
students. So that it also helps in maintaining positive behavior in classrooms. It also the
responsibility of teachers to create an environment that is safe, predictable and positive.
Teachers must also regularly evaluate the behaviour and performance of students
(Bissonnette, 2020).
b) Importance of Behavioural Management
The concept of Behaviour management is important in classrooms. This concept is not just
about punishing the negative behaviour rather it is about implementing strategies that can
help students in enhancing their positive behaviour. According to Oxley, this concept helps in

MANAGEMENT 3
building positive relationships and it also supports and motivates students towards the
effectiveness and importance of behavioural management. This concept is been divided into
three categories namely, Child reactions, managing groups or classes, and identifying issues.
There is some importance of this concept and these are as follows:
1. Children’s Behaviour
Sometimes it is very difficult to manage and control the behaviour of students in the class.
Because behaviour of some children is negative and it can affect other students as well.
Students need to behave properly and teachers also must implement several policies and rules
that help students in behaving positively.
2. Managing class
This behaviour is also helpful in managing a group of students in the class. Teachers can
implement appropriate policies and plans that can help. Teachers can implement strategies
according to their understanding. They must apply those policies that will be helpful for
students in the future.
3. Identifying issues
There are times when students behave negative and this can also lead to some problems in
class. This concept will help identify and observe those issues so that corrective steps can be
taken by the teacher to resolve it and appropriate strategies can also be used (Shelton &
McKeogh, 2020).

c) Pedagogical Principles
Experimental Learning
Eths principle is the process by which the development of knowledge, skills, and values can
be initiated in students. This concept involves internships, learning, research and study from
online classes. Professional and work experience id have also been created in this principle
(The Regents of the University of Colorado, 2020).
Taxonomy of learning
In this principle, there are three domains, namely, cognitive, affective and psychomotor.
Skills are arranged in a hierarchical order. The main aim of this principle is to enhance the
thinking of the students and it also focuses on the results of learning rather than on tasks.
Multisensory models
This model is adopted by many schools because it engages multi involvement sense at the
same time. In this principle, there is the involvement of visual, audio and kinaesthetic tactile
pathways. This approach also helps in sharpening the memory of a student.
Mastery learning
In this principle, there is the involvement of a strategy that can give instructions and
philosophy that can provide educational support to the student. This principle can be sure
that a level of mastery in a particular area or subject is gained by the student. It can also help
and support students in learning.
Scaffolded learning
The word “scaffolded” means how the problem can be solved by teachers. This principle can
provide support to the students in solving their problems. This approach is highly used in
schools by teachers. It can also help students in getting the guidance of teachers.

d) Principles of behaviour management
Many principles are been used to control and manage the behaviour of students. These
principles may vary according to the up and individual aspect.
Group Behaviour
In a group, many students are been involved. All of these students have different skills and
knowledge. Their behaviors many also differs and there are high chances of clashes between
these students. So some principles should be implemented to control and manage the
behaviour of these students. “Cognitive control of behaviour” is the principle that suggests
teachers should teach every student to control their impulsive behaviour and react
accordingly. By this, they can also maintain dignity within the group. They will also learn to
respect and support each other. They can also show their abilities and skills by mixing up
their skills with the talent of another student in the group (Walker, 2020).
Individual Behaviour
Behaviour of every individual may vary from each other. There are different choices for
every individual. With effective management of implementing strategies’ teachers can
control the behaviour of students. The principle that can be used in managing behaviour
management is the “Systemic approach”. This can influence the behaviour of the student.
There are times when situations influence the behaviour of students. For example, students
who are facing domestic violence will not be able to stable their behaviour. So this approach
can help them to influence their behaviour to positive aspects (Welsh Government, 2012).

MANAGEMENT 6
e) Theories of behaviour management
Maslow’s Theory of Basic Needs
In this theory hierarchy of needs is shown. There are five basic needs of individuals that have
to be fulfilled. These needs are esteem, self-actualization, safety, love, and physiological
needs. If students or any individual is unsatisfied with these needs their behaviour many not
stable or they are involved in wrong behaviour. If a student is facing bullying in school t may
affect them in the future also and they will also not behave properly. This is because they
have a fear of people. They have also faced negative group dynamics in the future. Their
necessities are also not been fulfilled because every student was involved in bullying them.
This theory can stable their behaviour as it can provide them with necessities. It can also
enhance the positive behaviour of those students (PRATT, 2016).
Herzberg’s Motivational Theory
In this theory, importance is given to hygiene factors and motivational factors. These two
factors can majority influence the behaviour of students in schools. For example, some
introvert students in class are facing negative group dynamics and they have also bad
experiences in their past. As a result of that, they are unable to show their talent. Teachers
should motivate them so that they can also enhance their confidence. Girl’s faces many
problems regarding hygiene in schools and it can also cause many problems for students.
Schools should ensure proper hygiene (Atalıç et al., 2016).
f) Creative and innovative approaches
The four approaches of a creative and innovative approach that are used to highlight the
strength and areas of development are learner-centered, self-directed, flexible online earing
and independent study. The process of teaching has been changed over the years. Many new
concepts are been used by teachers. There are many websites and online classes that help

MANAGEMENT 7
students in learning and solving their problems. The main benefit of these websites is that
students can access them from anywhere and anytime (Naz & Murad, 2017). Students are
also transforming their interest in learning independently. This helps them in learning faster
and they can also be concentrated and focus more. They are also self-directed i.e. they will
choose their career path according to their interest. All these behavioural changes are been
observed in the behaviour of students. Students are also more focused on flexible learning
and schedules. They want teachers to be more flexible regarding schedules. Teachers can also
adapt all these approaches as it will help them in managing the behaviour of students (Sinay,
2018).
