Features: The content of this book explores how teachers can successfully manage classroom dynamics and create a conducive learning environment. It reviews relevant works by authors such as Johnstone and Munn (1987), Docking (1987), and Wheldall (1992), and summarizes key insights from The Elton Report (DES, 1989). The book focuses on effective classroom control and the associated psychological knowledge, which helps us understand why students often challenge teachers' authority. Additionally, it emphasizes how unintentional mistakes by schools and teachers can trigger or perpetuate harmful behaviors. The book also highlights methods to guide students toward more beneficial and productive actions. Furthermore, the author draws on personal experiences teaching in primary and secondary schools, years of collaborative research with educators on educational psychology, and insights from teaching new educational psychology courses to practicing teachers, principals, and assistant principals. As an external researcher, the author has conducted nationwide investigations into educational principles and practices, all of which are valuable to share with the public.
