IMPROVING DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOUR IN A MATHEMATICS CLASS OF COMPULSORY SECONDARY EDUCATION

Disruptive behaviours that complicate and sometimes prevent the process of teaching and learning entail a current problem in an important part of CSE (Compulsory Secondary Education) classes. A way to improve the students’ behaviour in the classroom is to implement strategies or methods which differ from master lessons in order to boost motivation in our students, make them get involved in the lessons and, as a result, be able to accomplish a significant learning that allows them to acquire the key competences of the subject.

Our aim is to improve disruptive behaviour so as to reach a good environment in the classroom and, thus, develop an adequate process of teaching and learning. For this reason, we have elaborated different strategies that are going to be put into practice in the classroom while implementing the didactic unit of Functions in the subject of mathematics during the 2nd Year of CSE. These didactic approaches are based on the production of activities which employ games, the use of ICT, cooperative work, and exercises that relate to our students’ daily life. At the same time, it is also important for teachers to foster the abilities to strengthen their teaching skills, which will let them solve the conflicts in the classroom. For this purpose, several methods are applied to control disruptive dynamics in the classroom.
