SINIF KURALLARININ OLUŞTURULMASINDA ÖĞRETMEN VE ÖĞRENCİ ROLLERİ

Rules are necessary to maintain the social order. Rules are also required to carry out efficient training and education within schools and classrooms. Classroom rules have to be adopted and followed. Thus, an increase in the quality of the education will also be ensured. At the same time, rules bring along objectivity. Teachers interact with each student in an objective manner within the class, in accordance with these rules. Awards granted and penalties imposed on the students, allow them to extricate themselves from individuality. Students, who know what is expected of them, exhibit behavior, which comply with these expectations. Some roles are attributed to teachers and students for the establishment of classroom rules. In order to bring up a democratic society, students should also participate in the rule setting processes. Rules determined along with students, allocate more responsibilities on students. Students, which determine the rules under the guidance of the teachers, find it easier to embrace these rules. In addition to these, students comply with the classroom rules established in accordance with the demands of the students, automatically on their own. Particular emphasis has to be put on the students’ thoughts in order for the students to embrace concepts such as classroom, rule and discipline. This study highlights the tasks assigned to teachers during the establishment of classroom rules within the classroom. Currently, increasing negative cases are particularly encountered at schools due to the challenges faced in relation to disciplining the students, increasing violent tendencies at schools and students’ reluctances to take on responsibilities. For this reason, this study, which also underlines the roles that the students will take up during the establishment of classroom rules, uses literature review as its methodology, and puts forth a number of recommendations within the framework of the information that has been obtained.
