One of the important components of management of student behavior in the classroom is managing their emotions. The easiest way to manage emotions is removing teacher behaviors that cause students’ negative emotions. Although it is known that some important part of the undesirable student behaviors in the classroom are students’ reactions to the method of teaching, some undesirable behaviors are reactions for teachers’ personality. In that situation, students can behave undesirably to put teachers in a difficult position.These behaviors are called as undesirable student behaviors arising from teachers. They can not be managed as the other undesirable student behaviors can. Because they comprised of conscious and intended behaviors.
That is the reason why this study examined intended and conscious behaviors of students which aim to put teachers in a difficult position in the classroom. Descriptive method is used in this study and qualitative interview form which includes open-ended questions is also used to identify methods that primary school students use to put teachers in a difficult position or the others’. According to the results of this research, students do not always put their teachers in difficult position based on reasonable grounds and they also admit thisfact. In some cases they expressed that they use different ways to make fun of their teachers or to leave them in an embarrassing situation just for fun without any reasons. The most commonly ways can be listed as interrupting teacher, asking non-related questions, asking modified trick questions, consuming time by saying that they don’t understand the subject, distracting the attention and demotivation of their teacher by making some kind of weird voices in which they show that they are bored.
