The document discusses the challenges of classroom management and effective teaching. It notes that classroom management is difficult due to noisy or off-task students. Maintaining an ideal learning environment requires managing student behavior. Engaging students and eliciting their understanding is also challenging, as students may say they don't understand or find the material complicated. Effective teaching requires adapting to student needs using a variety of skills. The success of teaching and learning depends on both processes being interlinked.
Classroom Management and the Teaching Learning Process
- 1. Were your students noisy or doing unnecessary things when you taught? – that was the question of our PT moderator to us during our feedbacking. Immediately, I told myself YES, some were. I said that I did expect for that because I know the nature of high school students for the reason that I was once too. But I was stunned when he followed up his sentence by saying “Now you know how I feel?”. I shrugged my shoulders and I realized that he’s right and I feel sorry for myself. Classroom management is another thing that makes the teaching job harder. More than the academic preparations that you must have, the ability to manage your class to maintain the ideal climate suitable for learning is very crucial. I have a class that when I first met them, I appreciated their noise because it was academic in nature. However, when the second meeting came and they were really lousy and all over the place, I felt irritated and I can’t help but to tell them that they are not suppose to act that way. Consequently, they shut up instantly. But the noise comes over and over and I have to “sshhhh” them again. If I can add something in the list of daily routines of teachers aside from praying before the class and the like, it would be the “sshhhh” thing. Another factor that makes classroom management challenging is how can you solicit answers from your students. If not hesitant, they really don’t know the answer. I mean that they would say- “I don’t have an idea Sir”. That is the most scary answer that I could ever receive. That is like an indirect response to conclude that I am not effective but luckily, I haven’t received one yet. That’s where the teaching and learning process comes in. I remember asking my students “Is chemistry a boring subject?”. “No sir, it’s just complicated that we can’t get it at ease.”-they replied. Suddenly a lightbulb appeared again on top of my head. Teaching is indeed the hardest career one could ever have, as hard as making the concepts that explain how the universe works simple. Teachers need to exercise all their skills, from linguistic to knowledge and even kinetics to cater to the needs of the learners. We can never take away teaching from learning and learning from teaching because they are mutually related with each other. The success of one relies on the other. The teaching and learning process that follows a sequence that once there is a missing link, it could never proceed to the next.
