Abstract
This study is on Application of classroom management techniques in secondary schools in
Maiduguri and Jere Education Zones, Borno State, Nigeria. The study examined the
application of group participation as classroom management technique in secondary schools
in Maiduguri and Jere Education Zones, evaluated the application of rewards as classroom
management technique in secondary schools in Maiduguri and Jere Education Zones,
assessed the application of punishment as classroom management technique on teaching in
secondary schools in Maiduguri and Jere Education Zones, among others. Five
corresponding research questions were raised which include how do teachers apply group
participation technique on teaching in secondary schools in Maiduguri and Jere Education
Zones; How do teacher apply reward as a classroom management technique on teaching in
secondary schools in Maiduguri and Jere Education Zones among others and five null
hypotheses were tested for this study in line with the objectives. Relevant literatures were
reviewed in order to establish base for the study. Survey research design was used in the
study. The population of the study was 1063 teachers. A sample size of 319 teachers was
used in the study. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection in the study. The
validated instrument was pilot tested and a reliability coefficient of 0.79 was obtained which
indicated high level of reliability for the instrument. The information from the questionnaire
was collected and analysed using frequency counts and simple percentage, while chi-square
(2) was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings among others
revealed that there was difference in the opinions of teachers on the application of group
participation during teaching based on the technique used by teachers such as dividing
students into various groups and given them task to carry out certain activities. There was
difference in the opinions of teachers on the application of different types of management
techniques in the class. Recommendations were made which include that teachers should
encourage students‟ involvement in group participation having in mind their individual
differences. This will help the teacher carry his students along and ensure effective learning
in both small and large class. Teachers in secondary schools should apply forms of
punishment like kneeling in front of the classroom, scolding and warning of students.
However, when applying punishment technique, teacher should consider the student‟s
health. The study concluded that managing a class properly depends on the effective used of
various management techniques. Finally, suggestions were made for further research on the
application of classroom management techniques in primary schools.
