2. What was the biggest classroom management problem that you
experienced during the School Practice Program? How did you cope with that problem?
Participant 1
I had problem in dealing with noisy students. They usually did not want to listen to my explanation when I taught. But then at that time I
tried to encourage my students to follow my teaching by giving the
90 rewards such as extra points that can be used to increase their quiz
score.
Participant 2
The biggest problem was that there were some students who liked to sleep in my class, especially in the
jam pelajaran ke 7 dan 8
. To solve that problem, I usually include games in my teaching so that my
students were not bored and sleepy.
Participant 3
It was maybe about late students. Sometimes there was a group of students who just came in after 15 or 20 minutes teaching so that it
troubled the other students. I usually just reminded those late students not to come late again.
Participant 4
I did not have big problems in managing my students, in my opinion. That is because they were nice. Maybe the problem was about the
classroom. The size of the classroom was not big enough for more or less 40 students in each class, in my opinion. So, it was quite
uncomfortable. Classroom facilities were not complete too. I think it was problem that came from school, so as
praktikan
I did not do much to solve that problem.
Participant 5
It was maybe about students‟ motivation to learn English. It looked like they did not understand the importance of learning English yet.
What I did was usually just providing interesting activities so that my students were willing to enjoy my teaching. I also always emphasized
the importance of learning English.

Participant 6
Dealing with disrespectful students was my biggest problem, I think. Maybe they thought that I was not their real teacher, so it was okay not
to follow my instructions and not to listen to my explanation. I had problems in handling those students. I usually consulted my problem
immediately to my guru pamong to gain suggestion from him.
