Abstract
The aim of this research is to determine the classroom management skills of primary school teachers from the perspective of their students. In this study, case science pattern was used. The study group consisted of 20 students from 4 classes, 5 from each different class level selected by multi-stage sampling method, and 4 teachers who teach in these classes. A semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher was used as the data collection tool. The data obtained from the research was analyzed using content analysis method. The study concluded that the students experienced various problems in the classroom often trying to solve problems among themselves, but these solutions were not effective. It was concluded that teachers did not pay adequate attention to the problems students experienced and teachers were not effective enough in solving the problems, and the teachers generally preferred to give physical punishment to the students. The study also concluded that students will offer solutions to the problems which are similar to the solutions their teachers offer when they become teachers in the future.
