aggression cases from parents to teachers because of classroom management are still happening in Indonesia.
D. Definition of Terms
Three terms from some experts are used in this research. Those terms are misbehaviors, classroom management, and grade eight students.
1. Misbehaviors
According to Sun and Shek 2012, misbehaviors are behaviors from the students that hinders the teaching and learning processes in a classroom. The
examples of student misbehaviors that they mention are disruptive talking, chronic avoidance of work, clowning, interfering with teaching activities, harassing
classmates, verbal insults, rudeness to teacher, defiance, and hostility. These misbehaviors distract teaching and learning processes. If they are neglected, the
teaching and learning processes would not be effective and therefore the students would get nothing.
In this research, misbehaviors theories become the foundation as classroom management theories arose from misbehaviors. To be able to pinpoint the effective
classroom management, the teachers first must know about what they are dealing with. Therefore, identifying students’ misbehaviors is a must to make this research
valid.
2. Classroom Management
According Richards and Nunan 1990, classroom management is the way the teacher organize
and control students’ behavior, movement, and interaction

during a lesson. Cothran, Kulinna, and Garrahy 2003 state that classroom management is very important in keeping a class effective. They believe that it is
the foundation for other successful effective teaching behaviors. In this research, classroom management is the way for the teachers to teach effectively and
efficiently while maintaining the class environment and also the relationship between the teachers, the students, and the parents. Classroom management must
be effective and efficient. In the same time, it needs to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the students and the parents.
3. Grade Eight Students
The students in the grade eight are around 13 years old. In this age, the students undergo the period of transition between childhood and adulthood.
Students around this age change rapidly in terms of physical and emotional states as they are trying to be more independent and to know more about themselves
Santrock, 2011. As their emotion is unstable, the students will likely to do misbehaviors. Also, compared with the grade seven, grade eight students are more
extrovert because they are already comfortable in the class. They will more likely to misbehave than grade seven. Compared with the grade nine, grade eight is the
play time as in the grade nine, the students will face the national exam. Therefore, grade eight is the best grade to do this research as they are most likely to do
misbehaviors in this grade.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, the researcher presents the literature related to the research. As mentioned before, there are three research questions which mainly focus on the
misbehavior and the classroom management. Therefore, the theories about misbehavior and classroom management that will be discussed here are needed as
foundations of this research. There are two parts in this chapter, namely theoretical description and
theoretical framework. Theoretical description describes the theories that are taken from literature written by experts. In the theoretical framework, those theories that
are explained before will be synthesized and associated to how the researcher answers the questions.
A. Theoretical Description
As already stated before, there are two theories that will be discussed here. Those theories are the misbehavior and the classroom management theories.
1. Misbehavior
The aim of this research is to find out the classroom management that the teachers do. Nevertheless, knowing the misbehavior is important as it is the basic
of classroom management. By knowing the misbehaviors that the students do, the teachers can apply the most effective classroom management. Therefore, the
