RISMITA KHAUND, DR. ZACHARIAS TIRKEY

Abstract

Classroom management is an important component of the teaching-learning process that helps teachers create an organized, disciplined, and supportive learning environment. The present study aims to examine the attitude of secondary school teachers towards classroom management with respect to gender and type of school. It focuses on comparing the mean scores of male and female teachers, government and private school teachers, and different combinations of these groups. The study follows a quantitative and qualitative approach that adopts a descriptive survey research design. Data were collected using a self-constructed attitude scale developed by the researchers. The reliability of the tool was established using the Spearman-Brown Coefficient. The collected data were analysed using appropriate statistical techniques, such as mean, standard deviation, degree of freedom, standard error of difference, and t-test, to determine the significance of differences among different groups of secondary school teachers. The study provides insights into teachers’ attitudes towards classroom management and the influence of gender and type of school on their classroom management aspects. The findings of the study may be useful for teachers, school administrators, teacher educators, and policymakers in developing effective classroom management strategies and planning professional development programmes. The study also contributes to creating a positive atmosphere in secondary schools teacher mind.
