چکیده

Classroom management is an important teaching skill that can influence the pedagogical success of teachers because, in a disciplined class, teachers can better put their lesson plans into practice. Too strict management, however, can negatively influence learners' views about their teachers' teaching skills. To study the relationships between teachers’ beliefs about appropriate classroom management and their learners' views about their teaching success, 322 Iranian teachers of English and their learners (n=1932)  were surveyed using related questionnaires. The results of the regression analysis and Pearson correlations showed that three components of classroom management can significantly predict learners' views. There were negative relationships between instructional and people management components and students’ views about their teachers’ pedagogical success, but behavior management was positively correlated with students’ views. The findings imply that too strict classroom management strategies can have negative consequences, and teachers need to implement effective classroom management strategies. Teacher education courses also need to include such strategies in their curriculums.
