Meiner Meinung nach wenn es immer wieder zu Störungen und Auseinandersetzungen kommt, kann ein Gespräch sinnvoll sein. Das sollte aber unbedingt unter vier Augen stattfinden, nicht «vor Publikum» unter den neugierigen Augen (und Ohren) der Gruppe. Offene Gespräche und echte Einsicht sind in der Regel nur dann möglich, wenn Sie sich ausserhalb des regulären Unterrichts und fernab vom Gruppendruck unterhalten.

Set clear expectations.Build time for the students to talk. Set a time limit to the conversation. Respect all your students and stay calm. Use non verbal cues and try a hand signal. Encourage active listening.

To regain control of my classroom when students keep talking over each other, I focus on: Set Clear Communication Rules: I establish a "one speaker at a time" rule, explaining the importance of respect and listening to others without interruptions. Use Non-Verbal Cues: I implement hand signals or a "talking stick" method, where only the person holding the object is allowed to speak, encouraging turn-taking. Reinforce Positive Behavior: I praise and reward students who follow the rules, reinforcing the behavior I want to see and creating positive peer pressure. These strategies help restore order, promote respectful communication, and encourage students to listen actively.

To regain control of your classroom, you need to first set clear rules. This is so that your students would know what they should and shouldn't do in class. You need to interupt or call out to the students who are talking over to each other. This is so that they would know that you're aware of what they are doing. You need to also initiate dialogues with them. This is to help you understand why they are doing so.

Teacher are pyschiatrist of the students, there is need to develop strong coordination with students and to understand the nature and behavior of all at particular levels. If there is disperse environment a teacher can involve them by giving a competitive task according to situation, or can change the seats pattern of the students. The best method to share any motivational story with them once they balanced their mood can switch for subject line.

Regaining control can be really tough. I've been there many times. Sometimes, we are exhausted, under pressure, feeling detached or just stressed, and this impacts how we are able to show up. I believe its important to set clear expectations from the very start and build trusting, strong and open relationships with your students. The more they trust you, the more invested they become and the easier to rein things in when they go awry. Give yourself grace, sometimes its just one of those days, try not to hold on to that situation, reflect and adapt going forward. Establish grounding techniques for yourself as educators, building in these practices allow you to be more patient and resilient. And breath.

Regaining control in a lively classroom can be addressed effectively through embodied education techniques. Start by incorporating structured movement activities that channel students' energy positively, such as quick stretch breaks or movement-based tasks linked to the lesson. Use non-verbal cues—like hand signals—to communicate the need for quiet without raising your voice. Establishing a rhythm or pattern that signals it's time to listen, like clapping sequences or a bell, can also help. These strategies respect the students' natural energy and need for expression while maintaining a focused, respectful learning environment.

Thumb rule: try to know why. Is it because there's a misalignment of expectations or is there a personal conflict that's causing the tension or it could also be because the topic in itself is very divisive? The strategies for setting the record straight can follow only if you know the reason behind the chaos.

Think-Pair-Share is a great activity. First, I ask a question and give students a minute to think quietly. Then, I ask them to discuss their ideas with a classmate. Finally, I ask a few pairs to share with the class. This keeps students focused, reduces talking over each other, and gives everyone a chance to speak.

When students won’t stop talking over each other, regaining control requires a clear set of expectations, consistent enforcement, and strategies that encourage respectful communication. Start by establishing and reinforcing ground rules for discussions, such as raising hands before speaking and listening actively to others. Use visual or verbal cues, like holding up a hand or using a calm tone, to signal when it’s time to quiet down. Reinforce these expectations consistently, ensuring students understand the importance of taking turns and being respectful during conversations. Additionally, consider incorporating structured activities that give all students a chance to speak in a controlled manner.
