Extract

Recent research and theory in the area of classroom management indicates that there is a relationship between the task organisation of the classroom and teacher management behaviours. That is, classroom settings such as seatwork and recitation are related to different kinds of pupil behaviour and different kinds of teacher response. A review of related literature and a study of music student teachers in secondary classrooms indicates that music teachers spend considerably more time in recitation-type settings than do teachers of other subjects and are thus required to be more constantly alert and more authoritarian in their behaviour. The implications of these data for teachers, teacher educators and administrations are discussed.
