2. INTRODUCTION
The teacher can use time management in the classroom to optimize learning
opportunity for students. When we think of the concept ‘time’ with regard to learning we
often think of pace, in other words, moving quickly through the planned learning
activities. When considering effective time management in the classroom as a means of
making learning most effective for students, progression needs to be planned for as well
as pace.
Progression means that students are able to move through specific activities
making cognitive progress as they go. Cognitive progress could mean that students know
more, understand concepts better, can use what they know in different context, or move
from lower order thinking to higher order thinking.
Basic Principles of Classroom Time Management
1. Define your objectives for each class and try to remain focused on
2. Become comfortable early on with compromise. You will rarely accomplish
everything you idea would like to accomplish.
3. Recognize when you should step aside and let the responsive to the classroom
dynamic.
4. Be flexible. Be able to reshape our lesson plan on the fly, to respond to the demands of
different groups.
CONTENT
In our present education system allocated time is 45 minutes for one period. First 5
minutes is warm up the students. I usually starts the class with friendly talk. If the
students are engaged, that means teacher who has succeeded in class room disciple, class
3. room management & effective teaching. It does means that the students those who are
quite were engaged in the class that means their eye will be open it seems that they were
looking as or listening here but their mind may be wondering in some other world. What
I understand my teaching practice still now is that an active classroom is buzzing with
action asking questions, clarifying their doubts etc. When I give solo work the things
noticed is that the students those who are very cleaver and brilliant are in solo activity its
because they can shine well in such area. But other don’t like individual activity they
always prefer to choose group activation. To keep students involved and on their to, I
used to move from teacher-centered learning to student centered active learning.
I used to introduce and summaries the material in a way that gets response from
their students but it doesn’t work all time some time may fail. I will not stands in one
place when I provide activity, I used to wander around the room and in between the
students desks. Teacher engagement too I call students by name that have always paid
close attention to those levels of students who are weak in studies.
The thing I noticed is that it’s difficult to keep students focused when we get
deeper in to the topic. The concentration level of most of the students (75%) can be hold
maximum up to 20 minutes. Their after only 25% students pay attention in the classroom.
If we want to increase student engagement the we needs to increase students activity of
their involvement in the classroom is some other way.
4. CONCLUSION
The effective teacher uses both time and strategy productively. When the pacing in
a classroom gets out of balance, students quickly lose interest. Successful teacher are
fully aware of how they allocate time. They also understand that every class session has a
rhythm. It can be ponderous, lively disjointed, hyperactive etc. Even the most enjoyable
activity can become dull when it is dragged on too long or overused. Hence, careful
teacher planning involves thoughtful time management and sensitivity to the flow of
teacher activities.
