Discussion

The discussion below focuses on the classroom management techniques that can help in improving the learning of students:

Group work and pair work    – Group work and pair work is one of the classroom management strategies that focuses on making the students learn lessons in pairs or in groups. This strategy is extremely beneficial in making students comfortable in learning the lessons with an increased interaction with the teachers and students. For example, if student learn in groups and pair, they learn from each other rather than just depending on the books. This method provides more time to students to ask the queries related to the lesson along with openly presenting their views on the lessons. This helps students in gaining a better understanding of lesson. As the speaking time is more in the group or pair work, the students also feel confident with a sense of achievement. (Chandra, 2015)
