Abstract

The behavioral problems of pupils which teachers deal with in the classroom vary in form and intensity. The prevention, addressing and resolving these problems is part of the context of their work. This work is hard and highly demanding. These demands have various forms related to the classroom and its immediate social environment.

This article lists the reasons of undesired behavior in the classroom, examines the behavior problems in the classroom, teachers' attitudes towards pupils with behavioral problems and finally makes recommendations as to how to address them. In particular, the characteristics of children with behavioral problems and the way these children function in the classroom are presented. Finally, reference is made to the basic principles of classroom management of the classroom and ways of handling problems are suggested.
