CHAPTER I

Introduction

Traditionally teachers encouraged that the learning environment must

be orderly and quiet. For some principles, a quiet classroom means effective

teaching with the growing movement towards co-operative learning; however,

more teachers are using activities in which students take an active role. Sharing

ideas and information with various activities occurring at the same time can make

for noisy classrooms. But it would be a mistake to conclude that in such

classrooms students are not learning.

The classroom management and mastering order inside the classroom

are the most important factors in educational process and basic requirements.

Which face the teacher since teacher complain about mastering the order inside the

classroom and it consumes much effort and time and they are considered as

sensitive important and critical factors. For the teachers success or failure in his

tasks.

The concept ‘Classroom order’ point to the learners behavour

discipline according to the followed systems and rules which facilitate the process

of classroom interaction towards achieving the planned goals.

Need and significance

They play the role in the classroom problems when they do not make

their objectives clear and when they don’t plan their teaching methods earlier.

When teachers follow traditional methods in teaching, this leads to students getting

bored and stressed. This triggers the probability of classroom management

problems. A teacher who insist on a classroom full of activity and quietness. By

keeping the students busy, working all the time without any break or any changes

in the activities lead to humiliation working and activity for the student will make

the probability of classroom problems due to class room discipline.

The social studies teacher needs to choose carefully those objectives

that pupils are to achieve. The learning opportunities are to be alighed with the

stated objectives leaving way for pupils questions and commence about course

content. The social studies teachers needs to start in planning the social studies

curriculum with a statement of carefully selected objectives the social studies

teacher should emphasis knowledge, skill and attitudinal objectives. Social studies

teacher play an important role changing in our society the study of social science

teacher is needed.

vandalism, theft, destruction of property, failure in the school, poor study

accomplishment, lack of educational facilities such as equipment and violence

against teachers and student. All these issues could threaten the whole educational

achieve vital objectives

Teacher develop deeper knowledge of the elements of culture and life

orientation diverse groups they teach so that they can serve a role model for the

student.

They can promote more accepting attitude among the diverse cultures

represented in the school and communities.

People should have ample opportunities to perceive the relationship of

the school curriculum and community.

To increase cooperation between school teachers, administrators and

the departments of education to reduce the academic problem that face teachers in

the class room.

To train teachers on have to deal with students behavioural problem,

especially in adolescence and cooperation between school administrator and

teachers to develop a number of school rules to disciplines students behavior in the

class room. And in the school in order to find a comfortable physical environment

for teaching and learning and developing to positive relationship between teachers
