چکیده (انگلیسی):

There are so many characteristics and traits of personality and all the characteristics, qualities
and competencies need training, grooming, improvement and development. The best classroom
environment is one that results in efficient learning. Discipline involves employing guidance and
teaching techniques to encourage students to become self -directive and therefore to create an
atmosphere conducive to learning. Teachers are decision-makers as they manage the daily
routines of their classrooms. Some teachers squeeze out every minute of learning possible. They
are highly organized and well prepared, and they constantly think and plan ahead. This doesn’t
mean that they create a cold classroom atmosphere where students feel unwelcome. Rather, they
are warm and enthusiastic teachers who are simply well organized and equally well versed in
teaching. The major objective of this study was as to investigate the problems of classroom
management of the secondary school teachers in Punjab. The population of the study consisted of
the heads of the teacher training institutions, teacher educators, heads of seco ndary schools,
secondary school teachers, and students. The sample included randomly selected ten heads of
teacher training institutions, 50 teacher trainers, 800 hundred heads of secondary schools, 4,000
secondary school teachers and 4,000 students. Four questionnaires (one each for heads, teacher
trainers, teachers and students) were developed for collection of data. Data were collected,
analyzed and interpreted in the light of objective by using the Chi- Square. It was concluded from
the study that the majority of respondents agreed that secondary school teachers were aware of
time management skills, kept the classroom environment conducive for learning, and improved the
learning skills of the students by using different behavior modification techniques . The majority of
respondents agreed that secondary school teachers were dealing with the students in a nonpsychological way; it was the common areas in which secondary school teachers had weak
competencies. For improving the classroom management skills, in-service short courses should be
planned and attendance of secondary school teachers in such courses should be made obligatory.
For maintaining the discipline in the class, teacher should be trained in such a way that they
properly understand each and every method with its proper use in particular situations. Short
courses, seminars and symposia should be organized on a regular basis to refresh the knowledge
of working secondary teachers. Teachers should understand human, as well as educational,
psychology and apply it in their teaching process in the classroom.
