Classroom management in high school mathematics lessons: student and teacher perceptions
(2021-09) Sipahioğlu, Ayça
The aim of this study was to examine perceptions of high school mathematics teachers and high school students about classroom management strategies. Furthermore, the commonalities and the differences between the students‟ and the teachers‟ perceptions were explored. For this intention, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected. Firstly, mathematics lessons were observed in the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades. Then, Classroom Management Evaluation Questionnaire was applied to 123 high school students at the end of the observed lessons. Lastly, after the lessons, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six high school mathematics teachers. The perceptions were investigated in eight themes as starting the lesson, using eye contact, voice and body language, making transitions, maintaining group focus, managing the time, anticipating problem situations, giving praise and encouraging students and, applying classroom rules. The perceptions of teachers and students about the implementation of classroom management strategies were found mostly positive and parallel to each other. However, the differences of perceptions were explored in terms of maintaining group focus and giving praise. Even though most teachers indicated they couldn't keep all of their students active in the lesson, students claimed otherwise. Moreover, the perception of the students that the teachers use praise in the lesson was found to be lower in comparison with the other strategies. On the other hand, all the teachers thought that they used praise and encourage their students to the lessons.

Classroom management in higher education: a systematic literature review
(Routledge, 2022-02-17) Ateşkan, Armağan; Albayrak, Duygu
This paper presents the findings of a systematic literature review (performed from 2010 to 2020) about classroom management (CM) in higher education. The purpose of this article is to present the state of CM in higher education. Search terms identified 129 papers, from which 42 relevant articles met the inclusion criteria of the current review. Data extraction was initially conducted based on title, keywords, and abstract; it continued with a full-text analysis for the final set of 42 included studies. Based on the reviewed articles factors affecting CM are classified according to students, instructors, and the system. The results show that novice instructors need training about CM and instructors should integrate active learning strategies for better CM. The results also point to a need for researches in online CM. Finally, the findings provide suggestions for future research on CM in higher education.
