Özet:

Class management, which is the area where teachers experience the most problems in their professional lives, is also an important problem area for religious teaching. The aim of this study is to deepen the teachers of religious lessons in primary, secondary and secondary schools, class management approaches and practices and class life in a qualified way and to identify the topics that teachers need in relation to class management. This research is designed according to an ethnometodological approach from the quality research methods. The work group consists of 43 religious lessons teachers who are working in Ankara, Antalya, Istanbul and Muş. In the selection of participants in the study group, critical status sampling and maximum diversity sampling were used together from the target sampling methods. The study found five main topics related to class management: physical environment, first days in the class, class rules, unwanted student behaviors, and parent relationships. It has also been determined that the majority of religious teachers prefer traditional class management approaches, that they mostly try to manage the class in a reactive and preventive model, and that they again use reactive and preventive dealing strategies. Unwanted behaviors, lack of interest in the course, behaviors that disturb the course and serious behavioral problems are among the class management problems that are often faced. Religious courses generally attract the interest of students, but in some cases teachers experience problems in the point of increasing the student's interest in the lesson.
