Chapter 2: Literature Review

Introduction
Poor student development has been established to stem from the inability of teachers to effectively manage classroom behaviour, also stemming from ineffective instructional strategies. As teachers show a diminished capacity to support and respond to students’ needs, student rates of misbehaviour and poor academic performance will continue. The unproductive, unengaged environment of classrooms run by teachers without adequate classroom management skills results in a need to examine the efficacy of classroom management as a practice in addressing these problems. The following literature review examines the existing literature related to classroom management, providing a definition of classroom management, determining its effectiveness, and ...

Introduction

The achievement gap in formal schooling between African American children and other groups is stark. This has proven consistent over time (Coleman, et al, 1966), across jurisdictions (Clotfelter, Ladd & Vigdor, 2009; Bailey & Dziko, 2008), and throughout the K-12 system (The National Center for Education Statistics, 2014).

The curriculum is long been criticized for being de-contextualized to ...

Feinglos and Bethel (2008, p. 337) supported this view, indicating that behavioral and lifestyle changes should be included in the treatment program for diabetes mellitus, not only as a treatment approach but also as a preventive measure as well.
However, it is ...

Introduction

American education has been reported as average when compared to other leading countries. Finland has a top ranked education system. More than half a million 15-year-olds around the world took the Program for International Student Assessment in 2012. The test is administered every three years and focuses largely on math, but includes minor sections in science and reading. It is often used as a snapshot of the global state of education. The results, published today, ...
