Managing and
controlling a whole class was not easy. Every student has their own
characteristic and different needs. Teachers are expected to be able to handle
the diversity and lead the students to achieve the learning goals together without leaving somebody behind. I applied
several treatments to manage my classes. I always told them the golden rules of
my class; after the prayer conducted I told them everything that must be
followed by my students, it made them understand what should be done during the
learning process. For the punishment, some punishments were made by only me and
some were made by agreement with the students. Giving students a chance to
participate deciding the punishment will make them take more their
responsibility. In my class speaking tagalong was forbidden, all communication
was totally in English, when somebody break it they have to show their talent
in front of the class on the last minutes before the meeting ended. That was
the unique rules that we have been made.
Teacher also known as facilitator, I was facilitating
students with some information and guidance needed. When the individual and
group activity was conducted I was giving guidance and information to help the
activity.
Miss behavior, students sometimes did not pay attention on
teacher explanation, but they were having their own conversation or did not
respect the teacher. Things that I offered during this situation, I was
strictly told the rules during and before activity. Second thing that I offered
was by speaking communicative; I persuaded and motivated them with
inspirational story in order to make them realize the responsibility as a
student.
Giving reinforcement and feedback also were conducted; it
was not only for appreciation for the students. But it was more than that,
teacher helped students to learn from giving reinforcement what kind of
behavior that will be rewarded and what kind of communication considered as the
polite one. Reinforcement that I conducted was verbal and non-verbal
reinforcement. For the verbal one I gave cheer yell (clapping jargon) while
non-verbal one I gave sticker that I brought from Indonesia. Feedback also was
given at the end of the activity.
