The Influence Of Teachers' Classroom Management Style Of Private University Teachers On Students' Learning Attitude

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of classroom management styles of private university teachers on students' learning attitudes. This study applied a quantitative correlational design. Two sets of questionnaires were administered to the research participants. A stratified random sampling with 508 students (aged 18-20) from a private university in Sichuan Province across different grades, genders, and ages was selected as the study sample. The analysis results indicated that teachers' classroom management styles also significantly influence learning attitudes: the laissez-faire style is the most popular among students, followed by the democratic style, while the authoritarian style has the least positive impact on learning attitudes. This study emphasizes the importance of effective classroom management strategies in cultivating positive learning attitudes, recommending that educators adjust their management styles according to students' diverse needs to create a favorable learning environment and enhance students' learning motivation and academic performance. It calls for a deeper understanding of the interaction between teachers' management styles and students' demographic characteristics to inform the development of educational policies in private universities.
