Australian teachers also reported feeling less prepared for, or capable of, managing disruptive classroom behaviour than their OECD peers.<\/p>\n<p>Findings from the survey suggest Australian students perceive their classrooms to be more disruptive than they have in the past. It also suggests one of the reasons teachers are choosing to leave the profession is disruptive behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>In separate studies,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/australasian-journal-of-special-education\/article\/abs\/one-year-on-firstyear-primary-teachers-perceptions-of-preparedness-to-manage-misbehaviour-and-their-confidence-in-the-strategies-they-use\/5ECEC2CBAF2C94F3A6C9641CEA18A1B9\">researchers have found<\/a>\u00a0new teachers find it particularly hard to manage disruptive student behaviour.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do we have a behaviour crisis?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These are important challenges that must be addressed. Post-COVID, teachers have reported student behaviour appears to be getting worse, with students more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s13384-022-00572-x\">distracted and less engaged<\/a>\u00a0than before the pandemic began.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is currently little data showing how often disruptive behaviour occurs in Australian classrooms, what these behaviours look like, and how teachers currently work to prevent and respond to these behaviours.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible that behaviour issues are happening more in some areas or in some schools, rather than across the board.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why do we see poor behaviour?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The development of disruptive behaviour can be influenced by a range of biological, social, environmental, and educational factors. Here are three key reasons why students might engage in disruptive behaviour at school:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Students find the school work too difficult<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Students with delayed academic skills\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/pdf\/42900209.pdf?casa_token=V935QJLKMyMAAAAA:tUspo1uV7LHmHzVjKxou_USmDRXgGCLIaML6WzdgEPkv4vfJABXUXm5Jmu2tojrHUyvsZ7wr9_Gj2q9-KBjBYbAQijMZ7EkmSBUGJPxVRi8GZUks2c4h\">are more likely<\/a>\u00a0to exhibit disruptive and challenging behaviour, and students who display disruptive behaviour may be more likely to fall behind academically.<\/p>\n<p>This connection has been shown to be strongest between a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4422059\/\">student\u2019s reading skills<\/a>\u00a0and disruptive behaviour. This makes sense, because as students\u2019 progress through primary school, they need to demonstrate increasingly advanced language and literacy skills to participate and succeed academically in all subjects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Students are trying to impress their peers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Students are more likely to display disruptive behaviour in schools and classrooms where this is accepted. Researchers talk about the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd-ilibrary.org\/sites\/f05bb3ee-en\/index.html?itemId=\/content\/component\/f05bb3ee-en\">classroom climate<\/a>\u201d. These are the values, beliefs and norms that set the behaviour within a classroom setting.<\/p>\n<p>At school (particularly in high school),\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fbul0000329\">peer approval<\/a>\u00a0is one of the most important variables that can influence student behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Being disruptive may seem \u201ccool\u201d in some peer groups, and researchers have found that this can promote a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/idp.springer.com\/authorize\/casa?redirect_uri=https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s12144-021-02181-w&amp;casa_token=7wrweX5Pk0IAAAAA:iAkY43pBrmrNAHa1CGtL7wyBkzUwa9X7BHFSo17ZgVkHY2QYcETig1QDnRVfDRVR6c5r3rGpw8cjs6nAsA\">culture of student disruption<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Students are copying their parents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Students model and learn the behaviours they see. Telling students how to behave well won\u2019t work when the adults in the room are overwhelmed, stressed, and not in control of their emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Recent research suggest teachers and school leaders are facing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theage.com.au\/national\/victoria\/they-forget-we-are-human-beings-teachers-pushed-to-brink-by-angry-parents-20230328-p5cvwd.html\">increasing threats and hostility from parents<\/a>. Students may witness these parent-teacher conflicts and behave in similar ways when managing conflict at school.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What can we do about it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While behavioural issues are complex, there are practical things teachers and school leaders can do to reduce disruption.<\/p>\n<p>This begins with looking at what can be done to support positive student behaviour, rather than focusing on what you can do to reduce disruption.<\/p>\n<p>The means approaches for supporting improved student behaviour are educative, not punitive. They also promote a sense of predictability and safety in classrooms. This can include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Limiting distractions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Teachers can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uvm.edu\/~cdci\/best\/pbswebsite\/Resources\/ChangingBehaviors.pdf\">change their classrooms<\/a>\u00a0to limit distractions and promote positive behaviour. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>rearranging seating to make it easier for students to see the teacher and pay attention<\/li>\n<li>putting felt pads under furniture to reduce noise levels<\/li>\n<li>turning off sounds on mobile devices to limit distractions<\/li>\n<li>adding environmental cues (such as written instructions and checklists) to remind students about what they should be doing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Teaching behavioural skills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t assume students know how to behave well at school. School is a complex environment and may have different expectations to home.<\/p>\n<p>So teachers can teach behavioural skills the same way they teach academic skills (and teach them early and often). This means giving students instruction, practice, feedback, and encouragement. Specific behavioural skills to teach might include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>responding to your name when called<\/li>\n<li>requesting help with difficult tasks<\/li>\n<li>entering the classroom quietly and beginning a \u201cgetting started\u201d task<\/li>\n<li>showing kindness and respect to peers and staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Teachers should also respond to disruptive behaviour or behavioural errors as if they were learning errors and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.itac.edu.au\/blog\/behaviour-management\/error-correction\">provide an immediate correction<\/a>. This includes giving the student a chance to practise (or show you) the appropriate behaviour and the providing positive feedback if warranted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allowing time for lots of practice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Researchers have found that for a child to learn something new,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbis.org\/resource\/teaching-expectations-and-reinforcement-systems\">it needs to be repeated<\/a>\u00a0eight times on average.<\/p>\n<p>For a child to unlearn an old behaviour and replace it with a new behaviour, the new behaviour must be practised on average 28 times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Providing plenty of praise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Research\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/327532387_Behavior-Specific_Praise_An_Effective_Efficient_Low-Intensity_Strategy_to_Support_Student_Success#fullTextFileContent\">shows<\/a>\u00a0praising students for positive behaviours has a high-impact. It is important to make the praise genuine and attached to a specific behaviour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting students involved<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.learnwithlee.net\/how-to-create-a-positive-classroom-culture\/\">classroom climate<\/a>\u00a0can be improved when students play an active role in setting classroom expectations and holding one another to high standards.<\/p>\n<p>This includes asking students what their classroom norms and expectations should be. It could also include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>encouraging students to acknowledge each other for doing the right thing \u2013 a practice known as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hdc.lsuhsc.edu\/docs\/tiers\/pdf\/classroombehaviorinterventions\/tootling.pdf\">tootling<\/a>\u201d<\/li>\n<li>making it safe for students to both make mistakes and succeed.
