From Discipline to Dynamic Pedagogy: A Re-Conceptualization of Classroom Management
Davis, Jonathan Ryan
Berkeley Review of Education, v6 n2 p129-153 Jan 2017
The purpose of this article is to re-conceptualize the definition of classroom management, moving away from its traditional definition rooted in discipline and control toward a definition that focuses on the creation of a positive learning environment. Integrating innovative, culturally responsive classroom management theories, frameworks, and strategies from contemporary educators, this article examines a new theoretical and conceptual foundation for classroom management--the Dynamic Classroom Management Approach (DCMA)--which consolidates these ideas into one cohesive framework. Four major components of DCMA are examined in detail: (a) flexibility and adaptability in one's management style, (b) understanding the context of students' diverse backgrounds, (c) effective pedagogy, and (d) creating a positive classroom culture and community. Each component focuses on why and how educators can meet the needs of all students to create a positive learning environment that proactively engages them while mitigating behavioral issues.
