EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR TEACHERS IN THE ERA OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education is reshaping classroom 
management, presenting both opportunities and challenges for teachers. This 
chapter explores effective strategies for managing AI-enhanced learning 
environments, drawing on classical and contemporary theories, including 
behaviourist, social–constructivist, and humanistic perspectives. It examines AI
driven tools such as adaptive learning systems, intelligent tutoring platforms, and 
learning analytics dashboards for lesson organization, behaviour monitoring, and 
personalized learning. Key teacher competencies are highlighted, including digital 
pedagogical skills, classroom leadership, student engagement and behaviour 
management in blended or virtual settings, and effective use of AI for time and 
resource management. Ethical, equity, and data privacy considerations are 
emphasized, alongside challenges such as infrastructural limitations, professional 
capacity gaps, and resistance to change. The chapter provides practical strategies 
for establishing digital norms, structuring lessons, promoting positive interactions, 
and using AI-supported assessment to enhance classroom management. It 
concludes by stressing the need to balance human agency with AI intelligence, 
ensuring that technology supports equitable, engaging, and effective learning.
