The Classroom as a Learning Environment CLE: the Contribution of
structure of lesson at the day lesson, in this case: 1 explaining the procedural text, 2 making group, 3 doing observation, 4 and discussing
time. Then, teacher presents the learning objective, in this case, explaining the aim of studying procedural text which is understanding how to make
something by observing the sellers at canteen. This activity is expected that by doing so, the activities will be useful for students both to help them
aware about the competences that they will do during the day lesson and make the classroom learning more meaningful to students. Finally the
teacher moves to modeling stage the use of strategies to solve the
problem, in this case the teacher encourages students to find out themselves about the general idea of procedural text. The students respond that the idea
of procedural text are: goal, material ingredients, and step. The teacher then elaborates the idea that students elaborate on whiteboard by asking
questions and clarifying the idea again. After finishing an explanation, the teacher is making group of work, and explaining what the students should
do when they are observing the sellers.
Teacher moves to application by making students to work in group
and preparing the task to practice strategies presented during modeling. In this case, students are doing observation to the sellers at canteen about how
to make food or drink. Then the teacher monitors the students’ activities on
their task. This activity is to make the application stage meaningful for students because they can ask for the information directly to the sellers.
Teacher prepares questions named questioning activity in the first
time of teaching-learning, when the teacher wants to review the previous material, teacher then gives question to develop the idea of procedural text.
The teacher tries to give the process question to students, for instance ”What
does the goal material the step mean and give example relate to our activity”. The effective teachers attempt to provide relevant questions to
students, when the questions are difficult, the teacher tries to rephrase the question into easier word. In the last session, the teacher also provides
question to test the students whether they understand the material or not.
This activity is able to create good classroom as a learning environment.
The teacher also attempts to engage different students to be on task, it can be seen when they must interview the different sellers in canteen, then they
must discuss the project together in the class after finishing the observation.
Teacher moves to application task by asking students to discuss the
project to arrange the goal, material, and instruction for further project, they must make the project presented into power point presentation based on the
students’ creation. This activity is expected that effective teachers help their students to develop their own strategies to solve the problem in this case
their project, and it can also develop the students’ self-regulated learning.
Teacher ’s management of time can be seen on when the teacher can
ma ximize the students’ time on learning and on task. The last activity is
assessment which is a part of activity that it should seen as integral part of
teaching. The questions given by teacher at any time during the lesson can be a part of assessment. Moreover, the kinds of assessments are formative,
and summative, if the result of students on those assessments was good, it was assumed that their method of teaching related to the kind of subject was
success. Meanwhile, the characteristics of effective teacher and the concrete
activities will be described as follows:
