Definition of Misbehavior:
Seeking Attention
Being the center of attention is a
common desire for students, some
more than others. Acting out by
making fun of others, swearing,
talking out of turn or simply being
uncooperative are a few ways
students looking for more of the
spotlight may misbehave.

Lack of Self-Confidence
A general fear of failure occurs when a student feels he
cannot possibly live up to any expectations. These students
misbehave as a way to avoid participating in anything that
may lead to failure. Although the child may seem
completely confident with school-related activities outside
of the classroom, he acts incapable of functioning in a
learning environment.

Physiological Factors
Students who are misbehaving may have some kind of
temporary malady contributing to their attitude. For
instance, a child who is overly tired, sick, hungry or
simply the victim of a sudden change in routine may
demonstrate troubling classroom behavior. Students who
are misbehaving may have some kind of temporary
malady contributing to their attitude.

Classroom Environment
A classroom not designed for optimal learning may
contribute to a student who refuses to behave. Poor seating
arrangements, extreme temperatures or a high noise level
are all distracting elements in a classroom that ultimately
hinder the learning experience. The atmosphere in
classrooms like these will result in behavior issues. Poor
seating arrangements may result in behavior issues.

Stay Calm
When a student misbehaves, it might seem natural to react
negatively or show your frustration. Instead of giving in to your
agitation, take a deep breath and try to handle the situation as
calmly as possible. If you attempt to put a stop to misbehavior in
an angry state, your decision-making will suffer, and you will only
pass your negative feelings to other students who will easily sense
your lack of control.

Withitness
Withitness (being 'with it') is an awareness of what occurring in all
parts of the classroom at all times - often referred to as having the
proverbial 'eyes in the back of your head'. To be effective, the
students must perceive that the teacher really knows what is going
on in the classroom.
Timing is another aspect of Withitness . Teacher should intervene
early and quickly in dealing with misbehavior.

Overlapping
Overlapping is when the teacher can attend 2 or more events within the
classroom at the same time. For example, the teacher can give a
student individual feedback in one area of the classroom and
simultaneously offer a quick word of encouragement to students who
are working at another learning Centre. Or, a teacher can deal
effectively with an interruption while keeping an eye on what else is
happenings across the room

Transitions
This is when the teacher maintains smoothness and momentum
between and within lessons. Student behavior is influenced by the
smoothness and effectiveness of transitions between tasks in a
lesson. Failure to gain the students attention, unclear and
confusing directions, using lengthy explanations, dwelling too
much on the details rather than focusing on key points, and
allowing students to take too much time moving from one task to
the next contribute to student misbehavior.

Satiation
Satiation is when the teacher knows when students have had
enough and notices signs of boredom. Satiation, which means
being satisfied or having enough, is used by Kounin to describe
students' progressive loss of interest in the task. When students
experience satiation or boredom, other behaviors emerge. Students
may introduce variations into the task, work mechanically on the
task without giving it much thought, or try to create some
excitement through fooling around with a classmate or engaging in
other forms of misbehavior.
