A comprehensive review of classroom management and its impact on education

Abstract

This research paper provides a comprehensive review of the concept of classroom management and its critical impact on the educational process. Utilizing a meta-synthesis methodology, the researcher analyzed and synthesized findings from previous studies to develop a deeper understanding of the topic. The paper defines classroom management as the teacher's deliberate efforts to establish and sustain an optimal, positive, and productive learning environment, encompassing content, conduct, covenant, and time management. The review concludes that effective classroom management is not merely about behavioral control but is a pivotal factor in promoting academic achievement, minimizing disruptions, and fostering a positive learning culture built on respect, inclusion, and a sense of belonging. Furthermore, it enables teachers to execute lessons more efficiently and creates a warm, supportive social learning environment.
