  In Roundtable Session: Classroom Management in Terms of Well-Being, Engagement, Competence, and Culturally Responsive

Abstract

Teachers' classroom management competence is considered an important competence by many teacher educators and researchers. Little research has been done, however, on how classroom management competence is shaped during the internship part of teacher education. Therefore, this research focused on mapping the extent to which classroom management was part of the intended and implemented curriculum in the internship phase in the curriculum of one teacher education institute. Multiple data sources were used. We found little explicit attention for classroom management in the written curriculum. However, we did find major attention for classroom management in the implemented curriculum. The results suggest that it is important to create more coherence between the written and implemented curriculum with respect to classroom management.
