Authoritarian
The authoritarian teacher places firm limits and controls on thestudents. Students will often have
assigned seats for the entireterm. The desks are usually in straight rows and there are nodeviations.
Students must be in their seats at the beginning of classand they frequently remain there throughout the
period. Thisteacher rarely gives hall passes or recognizes excused absences.Often, it is quiet. Students
know they should not interrupt the teacher. Since verbalexchange and discussion are discouraged, the
authoritarian's students do not have theopportunity to learn and/or practice communication skills.This
teacher prefers vigorous discipline and expects swift obedience. Failure to obeythe teacher usually results
in detention or a trip to the principal's office. In thisclassroom, students need to follow directions and
not ask why.At the extreme, the authoritarian teacher gives no indication that he\she cares for thestudents.
Mr. Doe is a good example of an authoritarian teacher. His students receive praise and encouragement
infrequently, if at all. Also, he makes no effort to organizeactivities such as field trips. He feels that these
special events only distract thestudents from learning. After all, Mr. Doe believes that students need only
listen to hislecture to gain the necessary knowledge.Students in this class are likely to be reluctant to
initiate activity, since they may feel powerless. Mr. Doe tells the students what to do and when to do it.
He makes allclassroom decisions. Therefore, his style does little to increase achievementmotivation or
encourage the setting of personal goals.One Middle-school pupil reacts to this teaching style:I don't really
care for this teacher. He is really strict and doesn't seem to want to givehis students a fair chance. He
seems unfair, although that's just his way of getting his point acroos.

According to Baumrind (1971), the authoritative style encourages independence, is

warm and nurturing, control occurs along with explanation, and adolescents are
permitted to express their views. The authoritative approach is the best form of
classroom management style because it is the one most closely associated with
appropriate student behaviors.

 The authoritative style is characterized by behavioral principles, high

expectations of appropriate behavior, clear statements about why certain
behaviors are acceptable and others not acceptable, and warm student-teacher
relationships.
 The authoritarian style tends to be characterized by numerous behavioral
regulations, is often seen as punitive and restrictive, and students have neither a
say in their management, nor are they seen to need explanations; the teacher's
character is sometimes perceived as being cold, even punishing.
 The permissive style is characterized by a lack of involvement, the environment
is non-punitive, there are few demands on students, and there is a lot of
freedom.
 The indulgent style presents an environment where there are no demands on
the student of any sort, and the students are actively supported in their efforts to
seek their own ends using any reasonable means.

These four styles represent extremes, and most teachers demonstrate a certain degree
of inconsistency in their use of styles.
Research has shown that the type of management style used results in characteristic
behaviors.

 The authoritative style helps to produce students who are socially competent
and responsible.
 The authoritarian style helps to produce students who are ineffective at social
interaction, and somewhat inactive.
 Both indulgent and permissive styles help to produce students that are
immature, show poor self-restraint, and who exhibit poor leadership skills.
