Introduction
Class management; providing and sustaining the conditions suitable for preparing a positive learning – teaching environment. For the teaching period to be successful, the teacher to be successful at the class is one of the basic rules. Class management must be oriented to proving the quality and sustainability of the education more than controlling the students. Being successful at the management of the class depends on the qualification of the learning and teaching period. An effective class management, is not the teacher to be authoritarian in the class, it is preparing a positive learning environment.
Teacher is the most effective item of the class management. Teacher is responsible for organization and carrying on of the periods that are necessary for management of the class. Opinion of the teacher candidates that will just start to this job about the reasons of the undesirable student behaviors and the methods that will be applied for preventing these are really very important for the success of the management of the class. The basic purpose of this research is determining the opinions of the teacher candidates about the reasons of the undesirable student behaviors and the methods that will be applied for preventing these.
Method
Imaginary scan method has been used at this research. Study group of the research consists of the students that participated to the Karatekin University pedagogical formation training certificate program at the year 2014. There are total 550 students at the study group. However, 350 students have answered to the data collection instrument. The data collection instrument that consists of two parts has been developed for the purpose of collecting the data of the research. At the first part, there have been questions about personal information such as sex, department and age, at the second part, there have been questions about the undesirable student behaviors, reasons of the undesirable behaviors, methods of the reactions that are shown against the undesirable behaviors and the strategies for preventing the undesirable student behaviors.
Reliability and validity study has been done for the second part of the data collection instrument. “Cronbach Alpha” has been done about reliability and explanatory (analyzing) factor analysis has been done for expressing the structure validity of the scales and it has been determined that each sub part has a single dimension structure. According to the alpha that has been found about the reliability and the variant values that have been explained, it has been understood that the scale has been a valid and reliable instrument. At the analysis of the data, descriptive statically methods (number, percentage, average, standard deviation) have been used. At the comparison of the quantity data, at the difference between two groups, man whitney – u, at the position of groups more than two, at the comparison of the parameters between the groups, the kruskall whallis test and at the determination of the group causing to the difference, whitney – u test has been used. The relation between the research variants has been tested with the spearman correlation analysis. The findings that have been obtained have been evaluated in 95% reliability and 5% meaningfulness levels.
Findings and Interpretation
According to the findings of the research, it has come out that undesirable behaviors are being seen in a very few level, the reasons for the undesirable behaviors and the reaction methods that are applied against these behaviors have been effective at the intermediate level and the strategies for prevention of the undesirable behaviors have been very effective. A meaningful difference has been found between the types of the undesirable behaviors of the teacher candidates and their opinions for their strategies for preventing the undesired behaviors as the sex variable, however, no meaningful difference has been found between their opinions about the reasons of the undesirable behaviors and the methods against the undesired behaviors as sex variable. Average of the opinions about reasons of the undesired behaviors and strategies about prevention of the undesired behaviors of the woman teacher candidates has been found higher than the average of the opinions of the man candidates.
Meaningful difference has been found between the opinions of the teacher candidates about the reactions against the undesired behaviors as department variable, however, meaningful difference has not been found between their opinions about the undesired behaviors, reasons of the undesired behaviors and their strategies for prevention of the undesired behaviors as department variable. Average of the opinions about reactions against the undesired behaviors of the teacher candidates on the social sciences field has been found higher than the average of the opinions of the candidates at the science field. Meaningful difference has not been found between the opinion of the teacher candidates about the reasons of the undesired behaviors and recommendations for solution as age variable.
There is meaningful relation at the positive direction at the fewer level between the opinions of the teacher candidates about the reasons of the undesired behaviors and the undesired behaviors, at the very fewer level between the opinions about methods of reaction against the undesired behaviors and the undesired behaviors. There is few level of positive direction meaningful relation between the opinions about the methods of reaction against the undesired behaviors and strategies for prevention of the undesired behaviors and reasons of the undesired behaviors. There is few level of positive direction meaningful relation between the opinions strategies for prevention of the undesired behaviors and methods of reaction against the undesired behaviors. The relations between the other variables are not statically meaningful.
Discussion and Result
At this research, findings have been obtained about the opinions of the teacher candidates about reasons of the undesired behaviors and prevention of them. According to the findings of the research, effective use of the strategies preventing the forming of the undesired behaviors causing the reasons of the undesired behaviors decrease and so that causing the problems to be seen in a very few quantity. In other words, undesired behaviors to be seen in a very few level is showing that the strategies for prevention of undesired behaviors have been applied very effective. Waiting for the students to show undesired behaviors in the class and thinking about the solution choices after these types of behaviors have appeared, is not an effective method. Instead of this, prevention of the undesired behaviors before they appear or decreasing its effect is a more effective method. Opinions of the teacher candidates are calling attention to the importance of the effective use of the strategies at the behavior management for the prevention of undesired behaviors.
We can say that different opinions have been dominant about types of the undesired student behaviors that are lived in the classroom, reasons of the undesired behaviors, reaction methods against the undesired behaviors and the strategies for prevention of undesired behaviors. Between the reasons of this difference because there can be personal variables of the teachers and teacher candidates, there can also be the students and different conditions. There are similarities and differences between the results of this research and results of many researches. This circumstance is showing that the problems and the solution offer about the undesired student behaviors can be different. So that, there is not only one method for all teachers for the reasons of the undesired behaviors and the prevention of them. It is impossible to find a solution choice that is valid at every circumstance. So that, it is important as the management of the class for the teachers to analyze very good to the conditions that they are in and producing solution choices based on these analyses.

Abstract (Original Language):
Sınıf yönetimi; olumlu bir öğrenme–öğretme ortamı hazırlamak için uygun koşulların sağlanması ve sürdürülmesidir. Mesleğe yeni başlayacak olan öğretmen adaylarının istenmeyen öğrenci davranışlarının nedenleri ve bunları önlemek için uygulanacak yöntemlerle ilgili görüşleri sınıf yönetimi başarısı açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı öğretmen adaylarının istenmeyen öğrenci davranışların nedenlerine ve önlenmesine yönelik görüşlerinin belirlenmesidir.
Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2014 yılında Karatekin Üniversitesi pedagojik formasyon eğitimi sertifika programına katılan öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verilerini toplamak amacıyla iki bölümden oluşan veri toplama aracı geliştirilmiştir. Birinci bölümünde kişisel bilgilerle ilgili, ikinci bölümde istenmeyen davranışlarla ilgili sorulara yer verilmiştir. Veri toplama aracının ikinci bölümü için güvenirlik ve geçerlik çalışması yapılmıştır. Güvenirliğine ilişkin bulunan alpha ve açıklanan varyans değerine göre aracın geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu anlaşılmıştır.
Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre istenmeyen davranışların çokaz düzeyde görüldüğü, istenmeyen davranışlarının nedenlerinin ve bu davranışlara karşı uygulanan tepki yöntemlerinin orta düzeyde etkili olduğu, istenmeyen davranışları önleme stratejilerinin ise oldukça etkili olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının istenmeyen davranışların türleri ile istenmeyen davranışları önleme stratejileriyle ilgili görüşleri arasında cinsiyet değişkeni yönünden anlamlı bir fark bulunmuş, ancak istenmeyen davranışın nedenleri ile istenmeyen davranışlara tepki yöntemleriyle ilgili görüşleri arasında cinsiyet değişkeni yönünden anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının istenmeyen davranışlara tepki yöntemleriyle ilgili görüşleri arasında bölümler değişkeni yönünden anlamlı bir fark bulunmuş, ancak istenmedik davranışlar, istenmedik davranışların nedenleri ve istenmedik davranışları önleyici stratejileriyle ilgili görüşleri arasında bölüm değişkeni yönünden anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının istenmeyen davranışların nedenleri ve çözüm önerileriyle ilgili görüşleri arasında yaş değişkeni yönünden anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır.
