Abstract
This research investigates the impact of interactive activities on the control and development of students' behaviors in Early Childhood Education (ECE) classrooms in a primary school in the United Arab Emirates. This study included a literature review on the focus area of the research. Four different qualitative and quantitative data collection tools, checklists, anecdotal notes, interviews, and a survey were used to gather information related to students’ behavior. Four teaching strategies (interactive activities) were implemented: student-teacher interactions, student-peer interactions, student-group interactions, and student-technology interactions. Five Emirati students were chosen to participate in this research after detecting behaviors that need to be addressed. The results collected suggest that there is a significant positive impact of interactive activities on the general behaviors of students.
