Classroom Management and Physical Education

Paper Summary:

The purposes and importance of a good education in the United States have moved far beyond the scope of public schools just a few years ago. Since discipline and effective classroom management are so vital to the education process, it is important for all teachers to have a good classroom management plan in place to help them meet the challenges represented by today's multicultural students with a wide range of learning abilities. To this end, this paper provides a classroom management plan than can be applied to a physical education (PE) setting, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.

From the Paper:

"According to C. M. Charles, in order for students to learn, there must be a learning environment that is conducive to the learning process to take place. Noting the paucity of relevant research in this area, Charles addresses new trends such as students and teachers working collaboratively and students taking more responsibility for their behavior. In his Chapter 15, "Finalizing a Personal System of Discipline," Charles suggests that it is reasonable to assume that most teachers want the same things from a system of discipline, including students who demonstrate positive attitudes, humane behavior, self-direction, initiative, strong effort to learn, and personal responsibility."
