20. CHALLENGES: HOW COULD WE CREATE A POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WITH A NEGATIVE STUDENTS’ BEHAVIOR? (CLASSROOM DISTRACTION)

21. COMMON DISTRACTIONS Late Comings : Teachers want their students to come on time because latecomers affect the concentration of the entire class. Teacher often lose their flow of teaching and have to repeat the entire study material for the late comers, causing wastage of time. Chatting & Jabbering : Talking is probably the most common distraction happening in a class. The student who is talking is disturbing all other students around him. The students who are involved might lose vital information and instructions.

22. COMMON DISTRACTIONS Over-Use of Technology : Gadgets like mobile phones and undoubtedly facilitate interactive sessions in the classroom, but the over-dependence on these can prove distraction for students. With growing influence of social media, students are often found checking their notifications as they have a fear of missing out (FOMO). Lack of Preparation : If a few students do not bring the required material to class for example, pen, assignment, or any study material, they end up asking for or sharing it with others. This causes chaos and disturbance in the classroom.

23. COMMON DISTRACTIONS Eating During the Class : If students are hungry, they won’t be able to concentrate on what the teachers are teaching. They would eventually feel like eating during the class which would disturb the ambience of the entire room with the sound of wrappers and the smell of food. Absent Mindedness or Lack of Concentration : Many students often daydream while attending a class. While the teacher is teaching, the student is in another world of his owns. There are cases when the student ends up discussing his or her thoughts with another students, hence causing a distraction for the whole class.

24. COMMON DISTRACTIONS Negative discussions :  Classroom discussions are fun and are a great engagement tool as well. But a discussion should never happen between just two parties. The whole class needs to be involved, otherwise they would feel disengaged and start a discussion on their own causing massive distraction for everybody.
