Abstract:
This study investigates classroom management practices of mathematics teachers in Tagudin District’s public secondary schools. It identifies and evaluates strategies for creating organized and inclusive learning environments. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines survey data with qualitative insights from interviews and classroom observations involving mathematics teachers and administrators. Findings reveal common strategies like clear rules, accountability, positive reinforcement, and interactive activities. Challenges include managing misbehavior, diverse learning needs, and motivation. The study underscores the significance of teacher-student relationships, effective communication, and proactive discipline. Recommendations include continuous professional development, peer mentoring, and evidence-based strategies tailored for mathematics instruction. These aim to enhance teacher effectiveness, promote positive student behavior, and improve academic outcomes. This research contributes to understanding classroom management in mathematics education and informs future studies and policy in secondary education.
