Effects of Classroom Management Styles on Developing Pupil's Metacognitive Skills

This study aimed to investigate how the teacher classroom management styles may affect on student’s metacognitive skills. Three teacher’s classroom management styles(non-interventionist, interventionist and interactionalist) were being compared in their possible effects on the fifth grade students’ metacognitive skills. Data were collected from a total of 307 students via the self- report inventory (Sperling & etc, 2001) and from a total of 60 teachers via the classroom management styles inventory. The results showed that teachers with an interactionalist management style had students with more developed metacognitive skills than those with the non-interventionist, interventionist styles.
