Classroom Size and Frequency of Challenging Behaviours in Relation to the Support that Teachers Need in Managing those Behaviours

A sample of 706 teachers across Croatia were surveyed on the support needed to address four types of problem behaviours (i.e., distractibility, disobedience, aggression, delinquency) observed in their classrooms. Results indicated that class size was not predictive of teachers’ need for support. Instead, the number of boys and of girls whose challenging behaviour required management effort was predictive of the support that teachers needed for managing problem behaviours. Moreover, the specific pattern of behaviours that require support differs by the gender of the students displaying the problem behaviour. Implications for future research are recommended.
