Question 1: Classroom Disruptions and Management
1.1 Types of Disruptions and Examples
Classroom disruptions are common challenges that can significantly impact the learning
environment. As an Economics educator, you may encounter the following types of
disruptions:
Physical Disruptions: These occur when students engage in behavior that
disturbs the physical environment of the classroom. Examples include students
moving around unnecessarily, knocking over chairs or desks, or engaging in
physical altercations. For instance, a student may frequently leave their seat to
talk to peers, which disrupts both their own learning and that of others.
Verbal Disruptions: These disruptions involve inappropriate or excessive talking
during class, which can distract both the educator and other students. Examples
include students talking out of turn, making side comments during the lesson, or
using inappropriate language. For example, a student might interrupt the teacher
by asking unrelated questions or talking to friends during a lecture.
Technological Disruptions: With the increasing use of technology in
classrooms, technological disruptions have become more prevalent. These occur
when students misuse electronic devices during class, such as texting, browsing
social media, or playing games on their phones or laptops. For example,
students might be caught texting under their desks while the teacher is giving
instructions.
