God klasseledelse -med fokus på ferdigheter som har betydning for egen klasseledelse.

Abstract

The main purpose with this thesis was to develop classroom management. I wanted to find out how to become a better classroom manager and I was interested in what kinds of skills that are required to achieve this. My main issue with this thesis is therefore: What kinds of skills are essential to practise good classroom management? My next issue is: What kinds of skills do I need to develop to improve my classroom management in the future? Trough this thesis I desired to find a way of classroom management that was adapted to me. To find results I used several methods. First of all observed the teachers way of classroom management and I also made a qualitative interview with her about her views of classroom management. The main results however, are from my own assessments and reflections about my own experiences of classroom management. The results that I got indicate that classroom management is a complex area that requires several different skills. It is however possible to improve these skills, but it depends on ability to practice and reflect about classroom management. Skills that can have an influence on classroom management are ability to be an authoritative teacher, build relationships, proactive management and structured teaching. There are several reasons behind my choice of this particular topic. Classroom management is an important, but difficult part of being a teacher. Classroom management has influence on many aspects of school life. It has inflection on the classroom environment, it can prevent disruptive behaviour and it can help making lessons more effective.
