    Abstract:

    Given the effect of classroom management in creating a suitable and favorable learning atmosphere on the one hand, and the effect of self-regulated learning on academic life and academic progress and the promotion of education on the other hand, this research aims to investigate the relationship between classroom management style and self-regulated learning and academic progress among students of non-profit higher education institutions in Kerman. In this research, classroom management styles in the form of interventionist, interactionist and non-interventionist styles and self-regulated learning in students have been considered in general. The research method is descriptive and correlational. For this purpose, 324 people were selected by random sampling from among the students of two higher education institutions in Kerman (1900 people). Also, 70 people were selected from among the professors of these two institutions. The data collection tool of this research is a closed-answer questionnaire. In this research, two questionnaires have been used to collect information, one is a classroom management style questionnaire and the other is a self-regulated learning questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the classroom management style questionnaire has been estimated at 70% and 68%, respectively, and the validity and reliability of the self-regulated learning questionnaire has been estimated at 74% and 95%. To analyze the data, Pearson and Spearman correlation methods were used along with the scatter diagram, Kolmograph Smirnov test, T test, Anova and multivariate regression analysis. Based on the results obtained from the data analysis, the research hypothesis that there is a relationship between classroom management style and self-regulated learning and academic progress was confirmed. Also, the results show that the relationship between these variables is inverse, which means that as the scores of classroom management style decrease (i.e., it moves from an interventionist style to an interactive style), the scores of self-regulated learning and academic progress of students increase. In fact, the more interactive the management style is, the more students' self-regulation learning and academic progress will be. Also, according to the information obtained; No significant difference was observed between the classroom management style of male and female professors, as well as self-regulated learning and academic progress among male and female students.

    Key words: classroom management style, self-regulated learning, academic progress

    Introduction

    Since learners are at the center of the teaching-learning process, the set of variables related to the learner are among the most important variables (Miller [1] and Miller 2013). ) and because the process of learning and teaching takes place through interaction in the classroom, the factors affecting it should be examined scientifically.

    One of the effective factors is equipping teachers with efficient management skills. Comprehensive class management increases students' engagement in curriculum activities and prevents time wastage to solve behavioral problems (Aali, Amin Yazdi, 2017). On the other hand, self-regulated learning3 has valuable consequences in the process of learning-education and even success in life, and is one of the concepts raised in contemporary education and training, therefore, the use of self-regulated learning strategies is considered one of the determining factors in academic success, and by examining it, students' academic performance can be predicted.

    Choosing the correct classroom management method and organizing it is one of the signs of a teacher's success. The choice of any management method depends on the teaching style and the goals of the teacher. By using the appropriate classroom management method, teachers can play an important role in developing students' social skills, creativity and abilities and observe fewer disciplinary problems in their classrooms (Jamshidi Khosraqi, 2011).

    How the classroom is managed and the teacher's teaching method is an important source for judging his professional abilities and values ??(Imer4 and Staug5, 2001). The purpose of classroom management is to have a positive and productive environment. Having order in the classroom is not the goal in itself. Another important goal in classroom management is for students to learn how to manage their behavior. The transformation of the student's behavior from forcing them to follow the teacher's orders to achieving self-discipline and controlling their behavior is a basic learning in classroom management. Helping the formation of self-management and self-control in students is one of the important educational tasks of a teacher.. It is by acquiring such skills that the student will achieve academic success, establish correct relationships with others, and order his life (Lotfabadi, 2014).

    One of the concepts raised in contemporary educational and cognitive psychology is self-regulated learning. Self-regulation plays an important role in the processes and consequences of learning and education (Kharazi and Karsheki, 2018). Lemus [2] (2000) also believes that self-regulation strategies are strategies that students use to regulate their knowledge and also management strategies that they use to control their learning. Self-regulation means the capacity of a person to adjust behavior according to the conditions and changes of the external and internal environment. He explains that self-regulation includes a person's ability to organize and self-manage their behaviors to achieve various learning goals. In self-regulated learning, the student has skills to design, control and direct his learning, and while having the desire to learn, he is able to evaluate the entire learning process (Zimmerman [3] and Martinez-Pons [4], 1988-1986; Nota [5] et al., 2004).

    The theory of self-regulated learning is one of the theories that researchers and educational psychologists study in its form. The use of self-regulation learning strategies is considered as one of the determining factors in academic success, and by examining it, students' academic performance can be predicted. Predicting academic performance is one of the key topics of interest to educational researchers (Farnham[6], Chamorro-Primuzik[7] and McDougall[8], 2003; Bossato[9] et al., 2000).

    In this research, an attempt is made to measure the relationship between classroom management style and self-regulated learning on the academic progress of students in higher education institutions in Kerman. It is hoped that this research can play an effective role in improving the educational and learning situation of students and ultimately their academic progress.

    1-2. Statement of the problem

    One of the factors that today's teachers, administrators, and education policy makers pay attention to as an important and fundamental issue is classroom management, which is known as the most complex issue in improving the quality of education. Management means directing the activities of people towards certain goals, in other words, management refers to an activity that is carried out by one or more people to manage and direct the activities of one or more people in order to meet one or more specific and predetermined goals. The practice of management requires the manager's skill in three aspects: human, technical and perceptive. None of these skills can be acquired through personal experiences, and even if it is, it will require a lot of insight and a long period of time. In addition, no one can have the above skills by birth, as a result, in addition to management itself as a scientific field, the practice of management also requires skills that must be acquired scientifically. But at the same time, individual experience can help it and the use of artistic means - like performing any other act artistically, not just management - can add to its elegance and accuracy and increase its effect (Seyd Abbaszadeh, 2016). In general, classroom management consists of leading students through the design and organization of resources, activities and the classroom environment, monitoring the progress of affairs and predicting potential issues in order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of classroom performance (Rangber, 2013).

    In many classes, teachers try to give instructions to students as a way of managing the class and expect students to follow those demands and expectations. In some classes, we also see that the teacher acts as a guide and facilitator of learning. Also, in some classes, we see the shared efforts and collective cooperation of the teacher and the students. Research shows that in the first type of classes (teacher-directed classes), students learn the knowledge found in books, but in the second type of classes (i.e., classes based on mutual relationships and collective respect), students are able to create knowledge in their minds (Ivertson [10] and Randolph [11], 1995).
