1.1 Types of Disruptions in an Economics Classroom
As an Economics educator, you might have to face man y types of disruptions that
can sabotage learning. Following are the types of disruptions along with examples:
Verbal Disruptions:
These are any one of a number of spoken interjections that distract the class's
attention, for example talking out of turn, holding side conversations, or making
unnecessary comments.
Example: Students chatting amongst themselves while the teacher is lecturing on
supply and demand, or a student continually interrupting the teacher with questions
or comments relevant to a topic other than that being discussed .
Non-Verbal Disruptions:
These are behaviors that are silent in nature yet pose a distraction nonetheless.
Examples include inappropriate technology use, fidgeting, or off-task behavior.
Example: A student using a mobile phone to text or navigate on social media during
the lesson on market structures, or students passing notes or tossing things at
others.
Behavioral Disruptions:
These are severe behaviours directly impacting the class conditions such as
defiance, refusal to comply, physical contact that disrupts others.
Example: When a student refuses to cooperate with a group activity on economic
simulations or when he or she simply walks out from class before dismissal.
