Cheating or Copying Friend’s Work
49 there was a group of three girls and one boy. During the discussion, the boy was
not involved. He was busy doing other things. He started to discuss with the group when the student teacher went to the group. Another finding was seen in
Marketing class. There was a student who joined three girls in group. However, the student was not interested in the discussion.
To summarize the findings of the first research problem, the researcher concluded that there were two major student
s‟ behaviours found in the classrooms.
Those were productive and disruptive behaviours. Maslow‟s 1943 hierarchy of needs explained
that generally students‟ behaviours were influenced by their family backgrounds. Korb 2012 claimed that students at the basic needs
level such as physical survival needs: water, food, sleep, warmth, and exercise often become defiant and disruptive. The students of SMK Putra Tama who
stayed at the dormitory came from different kinds of families. Their family backgrounds also influenced their behaviours. Some of the students were to be at
the basic needs. Relating to Maslow and Korb‟s ideas, the researcher concluded that disruptive behaviours which appeared frequently among the students were
influenced by those needs. There were only two aspects of gender differences which influenced the
students‟ behaviours. Those were the physical activity and interpersonal behaviour. The other aspects did not really influence the behaviours. The
researcher realized that to observe the students‟ behaviours based on the gender
differences needs more research.
