Abstract
The self-perception of pre-service teachers regarding classroom management, and their aspirations for their future selves, can impact their behavior. This qualitative case study examined how pre-service teachers envision themselves in relation to classroom management. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers aspire to be authoritative teachers while maintaining good relationships with their students. Moreover, situational and contextual factors, as well as perceived teacher identity shape their classroom management behavior.
