OR

Permissiveness (Overt Classroom Management Approach)?

In intimidation the teacher is in threatening mode. And maintains disciplines by fearing and threatening students. But in permissiveness teacher is in very loose control in the classroom. His/her objective is to deliver lecture to the class and the teacher is not concerned about having discipline in the class. So, this can be very dangerous as per as teaching and learning conditioned are concerned.

In permissiveness teachers thinks that his/her sole purpose in is to deliver lecture and complete teaching targets and if there is any behavioral issue in the classroom, he/she is totally ignoring the issue.

Dangers associated with PERMISSIVENESS:

• Students can go out of hand and create severe classroom management issues if the condition to act responsibly is not constantly enforced in the classroom. Teachers may not be able to complete/ achieve his/her teaching targets.
• The teacher can lose authority in the class and can be considered a powerless figure. The students can take a ride on the teacher. Students can feel that this teacher can be safely dealt with.
• So, permissiveness is highly negative approach and should be highly avoided by the teacher
