This week we have read the
article “Rethinking Classroom Management”
written by Natàlia Maldonado and Pilar Olivares. This reading has given to
me the opportunity to know more about classroom management and the main aspects
that I should have into account as a future teacher.
In one hand the article talks
about the importance of the managing teaching and learning that is not a task
for an isolated teacher. Teachers have groups of pupils but they shouldn’t do
their task on their own, as the article says to be effective this task must be
a shared responsibility.
On the other hand, Maldonado and
Olivares talk about the three interrelated areas of the teaching and learning
management:
v Organisational issues:
Rights and duties. It is important to setting rules as a result of a process of
negotiation.
v Curriculum issues:
What to teach? (curriculum) and How to teach? (methodology)
Engage children: practical activities/meaningful tasks.
Cooperation and participation.
v Social issues: take
into account the affective side of learning.
Ethos or climate in the classroom is crucial.
Respect and recognition.
