Disruptive Student Behavior

Paper Summary:

In today's mega technological world, children at all grade levels are constantly being bombarded by stimuli that is often disruptive to their learning process. This paper focuses on the initial problem of disruptive (negative) classroom behavior and how a student can learn to manage said behavior in order to maximize learning.

From the Paper:

"Off task behavior is not a new phenomenon in a learning situation, albeit in an educational environment or one of business. The task of an effective teacher is to be able to counteract the problem with instructional methods and control procedures that minimize off task occurrences - thus maximizing learning. The results of the preliminary observational study clearly indicated that off task behavior consumes a significant portion of the total instructional time in a classroom environment over a period of one week. Therefore, the charge place before all educators is to adopt instructional and behavior methods that will reduce the likelihood of off task behavior becoming an instructional interference."
