Summary Classroom collapse is said to be on the rise.
This survey will discuss the phenomenon of classroom collapse by detailing the following 3 stages:
1) Classroom collapse is a situation in which classes and classroom management are going poorly.
2) Classroom disorganization is a situation in which students and their homeroom teacher have lost touch with each other.
3) Classroom disruption is when a student disrupts the class by failing to listen to the teacher.
Teachers were surveyed to clarify the actual situation pertaining to classroom collapse and to identify approaches for addressing this issue.
