This course surveys a variety of contemporary approaches to classroom
manaqement and discipline; considers legal, organizational and administra-
tive issues related to the maintenance of apvpriate classroom behaviory
and relates management practices to processes of instruction and learning.
The major goal of the course is to enable
students
to comprehend the basic
principles and tenets of a number of management
approaches,
and to translate
these principles into specific teaching actions and skills. While the course
considers classroom-management strategies drawn from Iger' s client-centered
counselling, Drieker' s teleo-analytic counselling theory, and Glasser' s
reality therapy.; a special emphasis will be placed upon behavioral,
social learning, and group management approaches applicable to the reality
of the classroom.
Texts for the course will be:
1)
Saul .Axelrod ?
- Behaviour Modification for the Classroom
Teacher.
2)
Jacob Kounin ?
- Discipline and Group Management in
Classrooms.'
3)
Laurel Tanner ?
- Classroom Discipline for Effective
Teaching and Learning.
Additional readings and references will be disseminated as the course
progresses.
Evaluation of student learning will be based upon two mini-papers (four
to
six
typewritten pages, each paper worth 30% of the course grade), and
a final written examination (for 40% of the course grade). Specific
topics and criteria for the mini-papers will be discussed at the first
class meeting on May 9th, 1978.
The Education 487 class will
meet
for two four-hour periods each week
during the Nay/June 1978 Intersession. The format for each four-hour
period will normally consist of a large-group lecture or presentation for
the first two hours, followed by another two hours of small-group discus-
sions, learning tasks, and application exercises. Tutorial groups will be
formed for these latter. activities.
A more specific topical schedule is attached.
