1. The Students’ Misbehaviors
To answer the first research question which i s, “what are misbehaviors found
in the SMP Maria Immaculata’s English class?”, the researcher did the observation
and the questionnaire. From the questionnaire, the researcher gathered that there were
three most common misbehaviors according to the students’ responses. Those misbehaviors were clowning, playing, and having disruptive conversation. The
teachers also agreed that those were the most common misbehaviors. Triangulated with the observations, the researcher found the same common misbehaviors in the
teaching and learning processes. Even though those kinds of misbehavior seemed insignificant, those misbehaviors were actually very contagious. The noise from
those misbehaviors would ruin the concentration in the teaching and learning processes. When the teacher neglected those misbehaviors, it would escalate
quickly and become uncontrollable Sun Shek, 2012. This finding was used in the interview with the teacher to find out ways to deal with those kind of
misbehaviors. Furthermore, from the analysis of the questionnaire, it could be seen that the
level of students’ misbehavior was quite normal. It meant that they did not misbehave a lot. This validated t
hat the teachers’ classroom management strategies were fairly successful. It could also be seen that rudeness or talking back to the
teacher was on the last rank. The researcher also experienced this when the

researcher taught the classes in the teaching practice in this school. Although the students that the researcher taught misbehaved quite a lot, they were pretty obedient.
The researcher felt respected when teaching in the classes, even though the researcher was just a pre-service teacher. This was actually the reason for the
researcher to choose this school instead of other schools.
