Distractions/Disruptive Behavior:
A recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education (8-8-03) cited current
research that indicated that distracting and disruptive behavior is considered
insulting and a barrier to a productive classroom environment. Students from the
University of Arizona, the State University of New York, and the University of
Oklahoma, among others, held stronger attitudes toward classroom respect and
civility than even the professors! Disruptive behavior is defined as repeated,
continuous and/or multiple student behaviors that hamper the ability of instructors
to teach and students to learn. Common examples of disruptive behaviors
include, but are not limited to: Eating in class, constant questions or interruptions
that interfere with the instructor or others presentation, entering class loudly or
late, loud gum chewing and popping, audible yawning, pen and pencil tapping,
packing up while the professor is still speaking, body odor, skimpily clad
individuals, off-topic discussions, overt inattentiveness (sleeping or reading
papers in class), use of pagers or cell phones in the classroom and inappropriate
demands for time and attention. To insure an overall positive environment, any
such disruptive behavior will be dealt with appropriately as per university policy.
