Without effective behaviour management, a positive and productive classroom environment is impossible to achieve. Finding the most effective techniques for producing behaviour change and preventing the development of classroom discipline problems is a moderately stressful part of the professional lives of many teachers, and a major reason for job dissatisfaction. The need for confidence regarding the impact of particular strategies is important to teachers given that the ability to manage students effectively is a critical component of their sense of professional identity.
This presentation focuses on the results of attempts to introduce the Developmental Management approach into all schools in the Northern Metropolitan Region of Victoria, Australia, as part of the 'train the trainer', AiZ project. The rationale underlying the 15 recommendations for teacher behaviour implicit in the DMA are highlighted and examples of schools' attempts to introduce elements of the DMA into primary and secondary classrooms are discussed.

The Effect of Using Ipad on the Achievement of Children in Layla Kindergarten...iosrjce
This study investigated the effect of using the iPad on children’s achievement of Layla kindergarten
in Saudi Arabia, in Aflaj district, compared to the traditional method. The study sample was formed of (42)
male and female children during the second semester of the scholastic year 2013/2014. The sample population
were randomly selected using the simple sample selection and then distributed into two groups: the control
group (22children) were taught using the traditional method, and the experimental group (20children) were
taught using the iPad. An achievement multiple choice test was given to the population of the two study groups,
and the test credibility and reliability were confirmed (reliability coefficient was 0.85). The study results
showed the existence of differences with statistical indication (α = 0.05) between the achievement of the
experimental group children and those of the control group. The implications of the results are that the iPad
can benefit children in improving their language skills in a motivating learning environment. The results were
in favor of the experimental group children, which were attributed to iPad teaching method. They showed that
there were no statistically differences attributed to the gender variable or to the interaction between the gender
variable and teaching method variable. The study was concluded by giving some recommendations and
suggestions pertaining to this study.

This study investigated the use of problems-solving and its effect on student achievement in the mole
concept. Ninety six (96) senior secondary II students were randomly selected form Demonstration Secondary
School, College of Education Azare. The instrument for data collection was 30-item chemistry achievement test
(CAT). The instrument was validated and its reliability determined to be 0.81. Two research questions and two
hypotheses guided the study. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the
research questions, while t-test statistics was used to answer the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The
results revealed that student taught using problem-solving performed significantly better than those taught
through lecture method. From the findings chemistry teachers are encouraged to attend seminars/workshops on
problem -solving in order to facilitate the teaching and learning of chemistry in schools.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A. Topic
The topic in the presentation whose presented by group 1 is Classroom
Management. The background of taking this theme to present in this meeting is
because of young learners characteristics. Below will be explain some characteristics
of young learners that should be know by the teacher.

B. Sub Topic
Related with the characteristics of young learners above, it is appropriated to
make classroom management as the teaching methods to teach young learners.
Classroom management is defined as the methods and strategies an educator uses to
maintain a classroom environment that is conductive to student success and
learning. Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process
of ensuring that classroom lesson run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by
students.
Classroom management consists of classrooms atmosphere and seating
arrangements. They will be explain below:
1. Classroom Athmosphere
A good classroom atmosphere is one that creates a feeling of positivity and it
motivates the students to become successful in everything they do. It should be
able to build a psychological framework for every activity that takes place in the
classroom. The good classroom is characterized by a relaxed atmosphere, by
evidences of wholesome and purposeful activities, by displays of children’s work
and the best use of available facilities. The type of classroom environment that a
teacher creates and encourages can either increase or decrease a student’s ability
to learn and feel comfortable as a member of the class. The classroom
environment should do as much to faster cooperation and acceptance as the
teaching methods that the teacher uses. A classroom should be as welcoming as
possible, the teacher should begin the lesson by greeting wth smiles and eye
contact. The teacher also has to encourage the students with positive feedback
whenever possible. It can be rewards, praise, or punishment. Unfortunately the
feedback isn’t always good for the students, it is common to assume that rewards,
praise, or punishment have a positive effect on children. It seems natural that if
we give prizes or colorful picture or praise or punishment, children will be
encouraged to try hard and behave better, but in other side those can have
serious negative long term effects.
1. Problems with rewards
a. Rewards weaken interest
If we stop giving rewards for an activity or for good behavior, the children
often lose interest or stop the good behavior, and when we are not there the
4. children may be less likely to be motivated to do the activity by themselves
or behave well.
b. Rewads weaken activity learning
When children are given rewards for doing some work, their focus is
narrower. They are less likely to remember peripheral things that are not
directly connected with the rewards.
c. Rewards are shallow
Sometimes we reward a child who gets the right answer without trying, but
give no reward to a child who tries very hard but gets the wrong answer.
Anyway if a child performs badly or does not try, it may have nothing to do
eith what is going on in our class. The cause could be something very
different such as a problem at home, tiredness, the children’s relationship
with other’s teacher, or their self esteem. Failing to get reward can easily
increase the children’s anxiety and exaggerate these problems.
d. Rewards are divisive
If some children get rewards or high grades and others do not, the
“successful” student may become more successful and the student who fail,
may fail even more.
2. Problems with praise
a. Praise leads to less risk taking
Children who are praised a lot tend to avoid situation that lead to failure,
they often want to continue to be praised, and dislike being criticized.
b. Praise increases dependency
Whenever we praise, we may increase the children’s desire to please us.
They may focus on our reaction to how they perform on a task, rather than
on the task itself. Instead of developing confidence in themselves, they may
become dpeendent on our reaction.
c. Praise increase insecurity
Telling a child how good she is can increase pressure on her to live up to our
assessment of her. Her fear of not being able to do this can easily make her
insecure.
d. Praise can weaken children’s ability to communicate
Praising a child a lot, like correcting her a lot, can make her very self
concious. Instead of just performing, she may be watching what she is doing
to see whether it is correct or not.
e. Praise divides the class
As with rewards, there are some children who get more praise than others
and it makes who do not get much praise may come to see themselves as
failing when compared to those who gets much praise.
3. Problem with punishment
5. a. Punishment is counterproductive
Children who are punished are more likely tobe disruptive, and are more
likely to behave badly when adults are not there.
b. Punishment undermines self-esteem
Punishment can make children develop a negative image of themselves. If
they are punished, they must be bad, so they see themselves as bad, and then
really do become bad.
c. Punishment only appears to work
Punishment lead to an increase in bad behavior, leading to an apparent need
for more punishment, they may become heroes to some of the other children,
and so get even more attention.
d. Punishment focuses attention on a minority of children
Most children need attention, and some need a lot of attention. Behaving
badly is one of the best way to get our attention
e. Physical punishment teaches violence is acceptable
All punishment sends a message to the children that “might is right”, but
physical punishment goes even further. It teaches children that violence is
an acceptable way of showing anger.
2. Seating arrangements
Classroom arrangement is one of the key decisions that teachers need to
make when they begin a new teaching year. A few of the items that need to be
decided include where to place the teacher desk, how to place the student desks,
and whether or not to use seating charts. The physical environment of a
classroom plays a part in the ownership students feel about their school and
more specifically their class. The classroom environment should do as much to
foster cooperation and acceptance as the instructional method the teacher uses.
Children are sensitive to the atmosphere created in the classroom.
Sometimes you may not be able to change how the desks are arranged in
your classroom, and sometimes you may have to make one arrangement which
you can’t change. These are three ways of arranging the desks in an ordinary
classroom:
6. With arrangement A, you can teach the whole class easily, and you can have group
work for some of the time, with the class working in groups of four. It is good for
pupils to sit in groups, even they are doing individual or class work.
Arrangements B works for individual and whole class work and you can easily do
pairwork if half turn their backs to the teacher, or it half the pupils move their chairs
over to their naighbour’s desk.
Arrangement C works in the same way as arrangement B, but is more
flexible and leaves you with space in the middle of the classroom. If your pupils are
sitting in groups as in arrangement A, you will find that although they are working
7. as four individuals, they often develop a group identity. This type of arrangement
makes it easier to see when pupils are ready to cooperate with other pupils, and we
sould recommend some sort of regular grouping.
If cooperation and communication are to be part of the process of learning a
language as well as part of the process of growing up, then the sooner the pupils
learn simple, meaningful expression in English, the easier it will be. For example,
few children of five will admit that they don’t know the answer to a question. So,
teaching them phrases like, “I’m sorry”, I don’t know, or I don’t understand” helps
their development, their language, and their ability to communicate meaningfully in
the classroom and elsewhere.
B. Questions and Answers
Questions 1 :
Based on what reason to set the seating arrangement?
Response:
The seating arrangement apply based on the situation on the classroom, it is
necessary to apply if the students’ start feel bored with the classroom atmosphere.
The seating arrangement can help students’ in doing activities individually or in
group.
Question 2:
What is positive effect from rewards?
Response:
Question 3:
What is positive way of group working?
Response:
C. Interesting Points during the Presentation
During the presentation I fond numbers of interesting points concerning about the
topic, classroom management and how it is important for the student in teaching
and learning process. The following are the points I doscovered during the
presentation:
1. I find out that the classroom atmosphere is very important to stimulate the
students mood, if the teacher is friendly they will be relax and happy, and it can
make them easier to receive the lesson. Others interesting points is such kind of
reward, praise and punishment not just give positive effect but also give negative
effect, so we must consider those things when we teach the students.
2. I find out that the seating arrangement is also important in the teaching and
learning process, because when the teacher can implement the most suitable
8. seating arrangement for the students, they will be enjoy the lesson, and the good
atmosphere will be created then.
D. Self Reflection
• The presentation of group 1 is running well enough, they can presented the
material in good way but I hope the presenter will be slower in explaining the
materials. I mean slower in speed of speaking, many of students can’t
understand what was the speaker said.
• I’ve learnt some knowledge today, I able to understand that classroom
atmosphere is really important to build good condition in classroom, and it can
makes the students relax and happy. When the students relax and happy, the
teaching and learning process will be run well. The seating arrangement is also
important to apply because it is influence the teaching and learning process, but
I think it is need to make rolling desk. For example, if student A on Desk 1 for
the first week, then the second week he should move to the desk 2. Something
like that, so all of the students can enjoy the different situation in different desk
or different desk mate.
E. Summary
Classroom management covers classroom atmosphere and seating
arrangement. They are closed related to the students’ achievement in teaching and
learning process. Good atmosphere will make the students relax and happy, it will
make them easier in achieving the lesson from the teacher. A classroom should be as
welcoming as possible, the teacher should begin the lesson by greeting wth smiles
and eye contact. The teacher also has to encourage the students with positive
feedback whenever possible. It can be rewards, praise, or punishment. Unfortunately
the feedback isn’t always good for the students, it is common to assume that
rewards, praise, or punishment have a positive effect on children. It seems natural
that if we give prizes or colorful picture or praise or punishment, children will be
encouraged to try hard and behave better, but in other side those can have serious
negative long term effects. Seating arrangement also can help the students in doing
activities, the suitable seating arrangement will make the students comfort, they will
not be bored in the classroom condition and they will be easier accepting what the
teacher taught.
