Education QUESTION #6895
Question 1
According to Thomas Gordon's conceptualization in Teacher Effectiveness Training, what is the fundamental long-term goal of effective classroom management?
  • To maintain teacher authority so that instructional time is maximized throughout the school year
  • To gradually shift management responsibility from the teacher to the students through modeling and problem-solving✔️
  • To ensure compliance with a pre-established discipline hierarchy through consistent enforcement
  • To build a strong reward and penalty framework that automatically regulates student behavior
Correct Answer Explanation
Gordon's TET model is fundamentally about student empowerment. The ultimate aim is not for the teacher to perpetually manage behavior from a position of authority, but to develop students' capacity for self-regulation — teaching them to manage their own behavior through intrinsic motivators, problem-solving skills, and I-message communication.
