Abstract

Classroom management is one of the main difficulties faced by teachers. If not managed effectively, disruptive student behavior can compromise student learning. Implementing effective behavior management practices therefore represents a societal challenge. This study aims to answer two research questions: 1) what are the classroom management strategies reported by novice teachers in French-speaking Belgium? 2) Are the classroom management strategies reported related to the results of scientific research on classroom management ? 42 semi-structured interviews were conducted and a thematic content analysis was conducted on the 42 transcripts. The results indicate that certain practices reported by teachers are considered effective in scientific literature, but that other reported strategies are less effective. These results offer suggestions for improving teacher training.
