classroom behavior

How pupils act

Classroom behavior refers to how students conduct themselves in educational settings—following rules, participating appropriately, and interacting with teachers and peers.

The phrase typically appears in discussions of discipline or expectations: The teacher sent a note home about his classroom behavior.

Good classroom behavior usually means attentiveness and cooperation; poor classroom behavior suggests disruption or defiance.
