DEFINITIONS PLEASE...

Searching for the definition is and easy job BUT to find the one which is compatible enough with our research is quite tough. This is the results of my outcome. Still crossing fingers in hoping that everything will go smoothly. ('',)

OPERATIONAL DEFINITION...

Throughout the years, various researchers and educators have defined the terms classroom management differently according to their research or ideas. Generally, classroom management refers to the actions and strategies that teachers or educators use to maintain order (Doyle, 1986). Martin, Yin and Baldwin (1998) define classroom management as a broader and comprehensive construct that describes all teacher efforts to oversee a multitude of activities in the classroom including learning, social interaction and students behaviours. Classroom management constitutes three broad dimensions; person, instruction and discipline. (Martin & Baldwin, 1992)

In my study, management refers to the process of designing and maintaining an environment in which individuals, working together in groups, efficiently accomplish selected goals. (Koontz & Weihrich, 2006).  There might be a lot of difference ways and meanings for terms of students’ satisfaction but for this study it refers to the statement made by the authors of an article entitled Achieving health & educational goals through schools—a study of the importance of the school climate and the students' satisfaction with school. The most important predictors of students' satisfaction with school are students' feeling that they are treated fairly, that they feel safe and that they believe that teachers are supportive. (Samdal, Nutbeam, Wold & Kannas, 1997).
