cultural differences, classroom management , culturally responsiveAbstract
In today's world where student demographics are rapidly diversifying day by day, it is an important issue for teachers to have the skills to manage classes with students with different cultural characteristics. Unlike traditional classroom management approaches, it is important for the academic, social and emotional development of students that teachers adopt a classroom management approach that can respond to student differences. Fair classroom management and learning opportunities for all are possible when teachers have the knowledge, skills, dispositions and beliefs necessary to meet the needs of their students and be sensitive to them, or have the opportunities to acquire them. Teachers who want to be culturally responsive classroom managers need to have the skills and mindset to manage cultural differences. A strong culturally responsive classroom management system is needed to help culturally diverse classrooms reach their academic and social potential. A culturally responsive classroom management system is based on academic achievement, cultural competence and sociopolitical awareness. The aim of culturally responsive classroom management is to enable students to act in a responsible and acceptable manner with a sense of personal responsibility rather than a desire for reward or fear of punishment. Culturally responsive classroom management is based on cultural norms created by the teacher that can help or hinder students' progress. In this context, in the present study, "culturally responsive classroom management" as an alternative approach that can be used in multicultural education environments will be explained in different aspects and suggestions will be tried to be offered to teacher.
