Abstract :
این مطالعه کیفی با هدف بررسی ادراک معلمان زبان انگلیسی از مدیریت کلاس درس انجام شد. 30 مدرس زبان انگلیسی ایرانی که در موسسات و دانشگاه‌های خصوصی مختلف ایران تدریس می‌کنند، از طریق نمونه‌گیری در دسترس از گروه‌های مجازی مختلف از طریق واتس‌اپ یا تلگرام در این پژوهش شرکت کردند. داده های مورد نیاز از طریق مصاحبه نیمه ساختاریافته و پرسشنامه باز گردآوری شد. داده های جمع آوری شده با استفاده از تحلیل موضوعی با استفاده از MAXQDA مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که معلمان زبان انگلیسی دانش خود را از مدیریت کلاس درس به منابع زیر نسبت می‌دهند: دانش آکادمیک، نظرات شخصی، تجربیات گذشته، رویدادهای حرفه‌ای، تفاسیر زمینه‌ای و بازخورد. نتایج همچنین نشان داد که ادراک معلمان زبان انگلیسی از مدیریت کلاس در ابعاد مختلفی از جمله پاسخ به رفتار نادرست دانش‌آموزان، ارتباطات کلاسی، برآورده کردن انتظارات یادگیرنده، مدیریت زمان، مراقبت و توجه به فراگیران، ارائه و دریافت بازخورد، گروه‌بندی شده است. تعامل با خانواده دانش آموزان، انعطاف پذیری، مسئولیت پذیری و تعهد، برنامه ریزی درسی، برنامه ریزی کار گروهی و اخلاق حرفه ای. این یافته ها برای معلمان زبان انگلیسی، مربیان معلم، سرپرستان و برنامه ریزان برنامه درسی آموزش معلمان پیامدهایی دارد.
