Abstract:

Teachers everywhere are concerned about the increase in undesirable behaviors in schools that has occurred in recent years. In these types of undesirable behaviour Aggression is one of them. Teachers who are over worked and burned out by non-teaching duties, administrative work, and a lack of support in the school environment find it difficult to deal with challenging behaviors such as Aggression in their classrooms. When behavioral problems impact both the teachers and the students for an extended period of time, teachers who are trying to provide a successful education may get anxious. The negative effects of student behavior in the classroom include: interfering with the rights of students to learn and teachers to teach; wasting time; decreasing students’ motivation and energy; fostering a climate of stress and fear in both students and teachers; and eroding relationships and trust. Recognizing why students display aggressive behavior is vital because it allows for effective problem-solving. Teachers, who
interact with students daily, can easily identify these reasons, making it easier to address and resolve the issue. The current study included responses from 40 teachers of secondary level in Delhi State. The researchers collected the data through structured interviews and analyzed it using percentage analysis and graphical representation. A total of 10 questions were asked from the teachers. The researchers found that aggressive teacher behavior, negative family environment, peer influence, societal factors like social competition and crime, and excessive social media use contribute to heightened student Aggression. Moreover, researchers also found that counselling and school initiative programmed can be effective for solving student Aggression.
