Observing Real Class Situation

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter consists of two parts. Those parts are research results and discussion. In the research results, the researcher provides the data from the questionnaire and the interview. Those data will later be combined and described in the discussion part.

A. Research Results

This part is divided into three sections. The first section presents the real world interaction data from the observation in descriptive form. The second part identifies the students’ misbehaviors based on the questionnaire which was cross- checked with the data from the observation. The third part discusses the classroom management strategies by the teachers and their opinion about the cases that were gathered from the interview that were triangulated with the observation and the questionnaire.

1. Observing Real Class Situation

To know about the real class situation between the teacher and the students, the researcher did three times of observation. Each observation was done in the classes that were subjected to the questionnaire. In doing the observation, the researcher also used the mentioned misbehavior categories to help the researcher in identifying the students’ misbehavior. 23 The first observation was done on Saturday, 25 February 2017 starting at 7 o’clock in the morning until 8 o’clock. When the researcher and the teacher went into the class, some of the students were busy talking. Some were standing and walking around the classroom. However, when they noticed that the teacher entered the classroom, they went back to their seats and greeted the teacher accordingly. Before they began the teaching and learning activities, they sang Indonesia Raya, the national anthem of Indonesia. After that, they did the opening prayer to start the day. Immediately after the prayer, the teacher started the day by asking the students about the last teaching material. It was about countable and uncountable which focused on quantifier. The teacher tried to recall the stud ents’ memory which was pretty successful. Some of the students involved actively and answered the teacher’s question correctly. Most of the students were passive and apathetic. When the teacher asked the students to open their notebook, thirteen students did not bring the textbook. The teacher sighed and noted the students who did not bring, most of them said that they forgot to bring it. Then the teacher asked the other students who brought the notebook to share. After the teacher finished discussing the material, the teacher asked the students to work on some exercises. When they worked on the exercise, most of the students were talking to each other. Some of the students asked the teacher about the material. Sometimes, because of one’s question, the others started to laugh and they joked with each other. The teacher needed to calm and scold the students several times. Two students were observed hitting the table which were scolded mildly by the teacher. Overall, the students were obedient enough when the teacher gave instruction. 24 The second observation was done on Saturday, 25 February 2017 starting at 9 o’clock for 45 minutes. The class was crowded in the beginning, just like in the first observation. Some students were still outside. However, they directly went in after seeing the teacher. Again, after the teacher entered the class, it became conducive. The teacher taught the same material which was about quantifier. When the teacher asked about the homework, some said that they did not do it. Therefore, the teacher gave some times for the students to do their homework. In doing the homework, they were noisy. The teacher scolded them and they became quiet. After several times, they became noisy again and the cycle continued. Some did not follow the teacher’s instruction and they chatted with each other. A tiny bit was apathetic with the lesson. The third observation was done on Monday, 27 February 2017 from 10.30 to 11.15. In this class, the situation was different. The students were quiet enough even though sometimes they went a little bit noisy. It was mainly when they were asked to discuss their homework, they debated about the answer. They were also easier to be controlled as long as there was an interaction from the teacher. Sometimes they joked but the jokes were still proper. From the observer’s perspective, this class was the easiest class for the teacher to manage. The students were well aware that they were in the class to study. From those observations, the researcher concluded that the frequent misbehaviors were talking to each other, playing, and making joke. The teacher also managed the class fairly well. Sometimes the teacher used jokes to lighten up the classes’ atmosphere. However, the teacher was a bit strict to the students. That level 25 of strictness was needed to control the students. Relaxed but serious atmosphere was built by the teacher in order to manage the classes well.
