Abstract

Chapter 7 Classroom management is a prerequisite of the process, content, and student cogni- tive capabilities and student motivation components treated in Chaps. 4-6. It can be distinguished from teaching because it does not deal directly with the process and content of teaching. As Johnson and Brooks (1979) put it, [T]he function of classroom management can be distinguished conceptually from the teacher’s primary function, instruction, however intimately the two may be related in prac- tice....[E]ach of the two functions can occur without the other, since instruction does not always involve a group of learners in a classroom, and classrooms need to be managed whether or not instruction is taking place. (p. 1) The distinction between teaching and classroom management w as also identi- fied by Brophy and Good (1986) when they noted that [S]o man y findings [of process-product research] were derived from naturalistic situations where teachers varied drastically in their allocation of time to academic activities and in their classroom organization and management skills. The differences in student opportu- nity to learn created by these differences in time allocation and classroom management probably overwhelmed, and thus masked, the effect of whatever differences occurred in quality of instruction.
