1. Managing Various Aspects in Teaching
After conducting the interview, the researcher found that the first belief of the participants was managing several aspects in teaching. The participants argued
that in classroom management they did not only manage one or two aspects but there were various aspects which should be managed. This statement was in line
with what some experts noted. Garrett 2014 mentioned five aspects of classroom management which were physical design, rules and routines, relationship,
engaging and motivating instruction, and discipline p. 3. Meanwhile, Wright 2005 proposed three aspects of classroom management, which were time and
space, engagement, and participation pp. 16-18. Marzano, et al., 2005 stated five aspects which were rules and procedures, discipline, teacher-student
relationship, mental set, and student responsibility p. 1. As shown in Excerpt 1, Participant A stated that managing the class was
the way the teacher managed the duration of the lesson, and time allocation for each activity. She stated that there should be pre-activity, main-activity, and post-
activity. In my opinion, managing classroom includes how we manage the duration
of the lesson, the activities, and of course there should be pre-activity, main activity, post-activity. Excerpt 1
She also mentioned another aspect which was related to classroom management. This aspect was related to the students as could be seen in Excerpt
2. Besides managing the material and time, it also manages the students, so
that they can obey the rule, be quiet, and follow the lesson well. Excerpt 2
32 Participant B mentioned several aspects of classroom management. She
argued it was not only how the teacher handled the students but also managed the classroom situation as shown in Excerpt 3.
Classroom management, in my opinion, is the way to handle the students in the class. It is not only about handling the students, but also managing
the classroom situation. Excerpt 3 In Excerpt 4 and Excerpt 5, she gave an additional explanation about what
she had mentioned previously. She explained in detail about what classroom management was.
For example, classroom management is students’ seating arrangement, and
time allocation. How many times for explanation, exercise, and games. It is how to manage the class. Excerpt 4
Classroom management is about time allocation, how to deal with noisy students, and managing the learning situation. Excerpt 5
In Excerpt 6, Participant C stated that classroom management was how
teacher managed students so that the classroom situation became conducive. If I am the teacher, it is how the teacher manages the students so that the
situation becomes conducive. Excerpt 6
Participant D defined classroom management as how teacher organized the classroom in order to prepare the learning activity in the class as shown in Excerpt
7. Classroom management is how to manage time and the students in the
classroom. The point is how you prepare the learning activity in that class. Excerpt 7
She added two other aspects in classroom management namely material
and lesson delivery as mentioned in Excerpt 8. The first is managing time, the second is materials, the third is lesson
delivery, and the fourth is how to deal with students. Excerpt 8
