A Qualitative Study on Classroom Management of Undergraduate Students: A Case of Information Technologies Class

Abstract

    The purpose of the current study was to explore the classroom management problems faced by teachers of ICT. The study revealed the underlying problems and highlighted the reasons behind the issues. Moreover, the study suggested a possible solution for effective classroom management. A questionnaire comprising 10 open-ended questions was prepared to collect data from 3 teachers who were teaching at universities to undergraduate students. Interviews were conducted with the participants to know their responses. The responses were analyzed using thematic analysis/content analysis. The study concluded that students' disruptive behavior is a common classroom issue that teachers face in their instruction process. Teachers can deal with classroom management issues by developing a positive relationship, student-centred approaches and supportive attitude for learning. The study recommends that the administration must ensure the availability of all the essential ICT resources to assist teachers in effective classroom management.
