First-Year Primary Teachers' Classroom Management Strategies: Perceptions of Use, Confidence, and Effectiveness
Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, v50 n1 p90-106 2024
As newly qualified teachers begin their teaching career, the first year can be a challenging one where they need to learn new skills and handle many stresses, including classroom management. Managing the class in order to teach is a challenging skill for newly qualified teachers. This study investigated 156 primary school teachers who are based in New South Wales, Australia, in their first year of teaching and their classroom management strategies. The results showed that newly qualified teachers frequently employ rewards, preventative strategies, differentiated strategies, and low-level corrective approaches. They were most confident using rewards and preventative strategies. Furthermore, they found that low-level correction strategies were not as effective as other strategies, such as rewards, prevention, and differentiated approaches. As new teachers transition from pre-service into in-service teachers, it is important to support them and provide appropriate professional development opportunities.
