Abstract

Extensive study on classroom management has been conducted through descriptive research method which focused on classroom management behaviors and practices. Nevertheless, the empirically-based studies on a classroom management in relation to other variables have not been investigated extensively.  Thus, this study was designed to investigate teachers’ classroom management and its influence in preventing students’ learning misbehavior. The level of students’ learning misbehavior based on gender was also examined. The self-developed classroom management scale based on Kounin’s (1970) model of classroom management and students’ learning misbehavior scale were used to obtain data from 228 students of an upper secondary grade level of Islamic Private Schools in Thailand. Principal component analysis provided evidence for the six dimensional natures of teachers’ classroom management, namely, withitness, momentum, overlapping, variety, challenge and smoothness. The regression results revealed that the overlapping aspect of classroom management was only a significant predictor that can prevent the occurrence of learning misbehavior. The results of two independent samples test indicated that there was a significant difference on the occurrence of learning misbehavior base on gender and the further results of descriptive analysis showed that male students displayed higher learning misbehavior than female students. The theoretical and practical contribution of the study were discussed.
