A Study Of Middle School Classroom Management Strategies Based On The Positive Discipline Theory

Positive Discipline is an educational philosophy created 40 years ago by two American educators and psychologists,Nelson and Lott.It is based on Adler’s individual psychology and made an important contribution to the development of Dreikurs’ new individual psychology.Initially designed as a parent training program for home education,it has gradually been applied to school education and classroom management.Positive Discipline advocates for a kind yet firm approach to education,helping children build self-esteem and self-confidence,develop social skills and problem-solving abilities,and grow up to be healthy,proactive,confident,and independent individuals.This article aims to conduct a systematic study and analysis of the application of Positive Discipline and its educational philosophy in classroom management practices in China.With a focus on the current state of classroom management and the practical situation in China,this study aims to provide useful references and suggestions to promote the development of education in the country.The article first traces the social and historical background of Positive Discipline and explains its relevant conceptual framework.Secondly,it provides an in-depth description of the core concepts,goals,and methods of Positive Discipline,and evaluates the practical effects of Positive Discipline through empirical research conducted both domestically and internationally.Through the analysis of the application of Positive Discipline in classroom management practices in China,this study aims to provide strong support and assistance for the reform and development of education in the country.Then,based on this,the author analyzed the current situation of classroom management of students in HA Middle School through field research,collected data and cases to analyze the problems faced by current junior middle school classroom management,and then put forward the application measures of positive classroom management of middle school students in combination with the concept of positive teaching.Based on this research,it can be found that the current middle school students’ classroom management is faced with such problems as the unequal dialogue between the classroom subjects,the need to enhance the understanding and respect between teachers and students,the lack of students’ self-management ability in middle school,and the lack of teachers’ emotional strategies in classroom management.Combined with the theory of positive discipline and the current situation of domestic middle school students’ classroom management,in the concept of positive discipline,we should build an equal and independent teacher-student relationship based on positive discipline,and respect and cooperative management based on positive discipline.In addition to positive management,we should also pay attention to the transition from traditional classroom management measures to positive management measures,such as focusing on the transition measures of students’ independence,paying attention to the use of incentive measures,cautious use of punishment methods and diversified application of evaluation methods.
