Classroom management is crucial for creating a conducive learning environment, allowing teachers to control the learning style and direction, preventing disruptions and discomfort. The study aimed to develop an Activity-based learning (ABL) tool related classroom management for teachers in West Bengal, India. It also aimed to determine their views on classroom management scale.

The study used convenience sampling from larger populations to estimate the number of teachers in various cities. The study involved 100 teachers who were given a self-administered version of a 28-item Activity-based learning (ABL) scale.

After item analysis, the scale had 25 items remaining, covering six broad dimensions: Time Management, Content Complete, Student Interest, Class Control, Child Psychology, Preparation. Secondly The data analysis process included 306 teachers' responses in a second data set for Cronbach alpha. A high degree of statistically significant correlation was found in the scale's final iteration, with Cronbach alpha values of 0.724.

The comprehensive analysis revealed that the Activity-Based Learning (ABL) instrument serves as an effective tool for evaluating classroom management among teachers in the West Bengal region of India.
