Class Management-Chapter 4

Which of the following terms reflects effective language to use with students?

• sarcasm.

• why questions.

• appreciative praise.

• evaluative praise.

In a democratic classroom, teachers would focus on all but which of the following?

• involving students in decision making.

• developing an understanding of personal responsibility.

• disregarding students’ misbehavior as long as they are not being unkind.

• replacing mistaken attempts to meet needs with productive behaviors.

The first organized theory-based approach to classroom discipline was set forth by:

• Haim Ginott.

• B.F. Skinner.

• Fritz Redl and William Wattenberg.

• Lee Canter.

Teachers in a PBIS school would likely do all of the following except:

• Gather data about how well behavioral interventions are working.

• Use positive reinforcement to recognize appropriate behavior.

• Develop individual classroom management models that vary from those of their colleagues.

• Directly teach behavioral expectations to students.

The goal of universal supports in the PBIS model is to:

• Address on-going, low-level disruptions.

• Prevent new cases of misbehavior.

• Provide data about when, where, and how misbehavior is occurring.

• Intervene with those students who frequently behave inappropriately.

Which person gave the most attention to specific student needs?

• Kounin.

• Skinner.

• Dreikurs.

• Ginott.

Which of the following statements reflects a student self-perception of personal power?

• I am needed.

• I am flexible and responsible.

• I understand my emotions.

• I can control my behavior.

One of the reasons teachers eventually objected to the continued use of behavior modification was that:

• they felt they were bribing students to behave appropriately.

• further research revealed that skinner’s assumptions were incorrect.

• it is effective in shaping individual behavior, but does not work with classroom groups.

• it relied on students’ abilities to make reasonable choices before they were developmentally ready to do so.

In general, teachers in the 21^st century rely on which of the following to manage the classroom?

• friendly persuasion and influence tactics.

• student self-interest and individual behavioral plans.

• coercion and threat to facilitate compliance.

• positive reinforcement and negative consequences.

An analysis of the historical development of classroom management reveals:

• increasing attention to ways to identify student deficits and their effects on behavior.

• an emphasis on establishing mutually respectful, supportive relationships among class members.

• a growing focus on autocratic teacher roles.

• an almost universally agreed-upon need for classroom meetings.
