Managing Classroom Behaviour: Can Psychology help?

Anthea Gulliford, Andy Miller

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In this chapter we explore a number of psychological perspectives upon classroom behaviour – including behavioural, cognitive and psychodynamic – and how they can help EPs understand behaviour that is perceived to be difficult, informing interventions aimed at achieving calm, well-regulated, and positive learning environments. Ecological systems theories are noted to help in guiding individual, group, and whole school approaches, and a distinction is drawn between reactive and preventive approaches.
