Literature Review: Classroom Management in Educational Psychology

This document presents a literature review proposal focusing on classroom management within the field of educational psychology. The review, prepared for EDU 630 at Fayetteville State University, addresses the challenges of managing student behavior and classroom discipline. It highlights the importance of understanding student behavioral patterns and implementing effective strategies to maintain a conducive learning environment. The proposal outlines the scope of the review, which includes an examination of the applied behavioral theory and psycho-educational approaches to classroom management, as well as the need for teachers to provide equal attention to all students. The review intends to explore various strategies for addressing behavioral issues, including providing clear instructions, managing disruptive behaviors, and utilizing resources to encourage student engagement. The proposal includes references to key literature on classroom management, such as works by Canter, Jones, Sieberer-Nagler, and Stough, to support the analysis and recommendations.

1EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY
Introduction
 Many problems have been detected in the course of the classroom management and some
solutions should also be made available so these problems can be curbed down.
 The main problems that have been found in this scenario are regarding the interactions
with the children in the classroom and identifying their behavioral practices and their
approach to the study practices.
 The educational psychology and its theories are to be implemented (Sieberer-Nagler,
2016).
Importance of proper classroom management
 The teachers should always follow a proper plan of action that would lead them to meet
up these challenges properly.
 The disciplinary actions within the classrooms must be implemented properly so the
issues could be resolved within a short span of time indeed.
 In order to curb down all these problems, one must take up the proper actions through
which the disciplines among the students can manage everything properly.
 The children become puzzled most of the times when they do not get the proper
opportunity to complete their lessons and also engage in behavioral problems with their
friends (Jones, Bailey & Jacob, 2014).
Problems for classroom management
 In case of the proper classroom management, it can be seen that the students are not able
to get the clear instructions at the beginning.
 Their behavioral actions also do not support their responsibilities properly.

2EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY
 Most of the times it has been noticed that instructions given by the teachers are very
much complicated (Sieberer-Nagler, 2016). This is why they lag behind and cannot
follow the instructions properly indeed.
Behavioral issues of children
 In the course of classroom management, students are provided with such tasks that are
very complicated as compared to the messages of the student.
 Apart from the ability of the students regarding their classroom appearance, one of the
biggest challenges that the teachers have to face is due to their behavioral approaches.
 Mostly, the behaviors of the students are not up to the mark regarding what it should be
(Stough et al., 2015). There are some techniques on how these behavioral issues could be
resolved within the classrooms.
Strategies for classroom management
 There are some situations where the student behaviors are extreme and teachers find it
very difficult to cope up with them.
 The implementation of the behavioral approach should be made by teachers to understand
the reasons for that kind of behavior by the student (Sieberer-Nagler, 2016).
 Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for the teachers to manage that kind of
disruptive behavior.
 If the teachers are able to identify the reasons, they could definitely find out some ways
through which they could make several choices to restrict the disruptive behaviors of the
student (Stough et al., 2015).

3EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY
 In order to maintain the class properly, teachers can reach out to their colleagues so they
can have some support also.
 The teachers must acknowledge the fact that they should stay calm in every situation and
handle everything seriously (Canter, 2014).
 The resources or various techniques should be implemented by the teachers so they can
convince the students to focus on their studies and not get deviated.
 The plans should be implemented properly so they can get the desired outcomes properly.
