Handling Some Second-Grade Students Who Do Not Obey The School Rules While Being an Assistant English Teacher at Palm Kids Primary School.
ABSTRACT
Dalam Tugas Akhir ini saya membahas masalah yang saya temui selama
masa magang di Palm Kids Primary School. Ketika saya bekerja sebagai
asisten guru bahasa Inggris di kelas 2 SD, beberapa dari para siswa tidak
mematuhi peraturan sekolah ketika belajar di kelas. Selama bekerja di Palm
Kids, saya melihat adanya sebuah masalah yaitu beberapa murid kelas 2 SD
tidak bisa mematuhi peraturan sekolah. Oleh sebab itu dalam Tugas Akhir ini
saya membahas penyebab, dampak masalah, dan beberapa solusi untuk
mengatasi masalah tersebut.
Ketidakpatuhan murid dalam mematuhi peraturan tersebut disebabkan oleh
tiga hal. Pertama, guru yang tidak tegas pada murid yang tidak mematuhi
peraturan. Kedua, ada gangguan pada lingkungan belajar. Ketiga, para murid
merasa bosan dengan mata pelajaran. Masalah ini pun memiliki beberapa
dampak. Pertama, waktu mengajar menjadi terbuang. Kedua, anak yang tidak
patuh mendapatkan pengetahuan yang lebih sedikit. Ketiga, anak yang tidak
patuh mengganggu anak yang ingin belajar.
Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, solusi yang pertama adalah guru harus
lebih tegas supaya para murid lebih mematuhi peraturan. Solusi yang kedua
adalah memberi hadiah kepada murid untuk kelakuan baik mereka. Solusi yang
ketiga adalah mengajarkan para murid rutinitas menjalankan peraturan sekolah.
Sebagai solusi terbaik, saya memutuskan untuk menggunakan solusi yang
kedua dan yang ketiga, karena dengan menggunakan solusi tersebut selain
para siswa bisa mematuhi peraturan sekolah, saya bisa lebih mengenal dan
dekat dengan para murid.

Syena : Selamat pagi miss? Maaf saya mengganggu waktunya. Saya sedikit ingin bertanya
beberapa pertanyaan mengenai Palm Kids Primary School.
Ms. Endah : Selamat pagi miss Syena, iya tidak apa-apa. Saya punya banyak waktu hari
ini..
Syena : Level yang ada di Palm Kids apa saja miss?
Ms. Endah : Levelnya mulai dari Primary 1 Fantastic dan Primary 1 Great, lalu ada Primary 2
sampay Primary 5. Semuanya 1 kelas kecuali Primary 1.
Syena : Miss, bagaimana hubungan antar departemen?
Ms. Endah : Kami saling kerjasama antar departemen sesama Palm Kids. Kalau anak yang
dulu sekolah di Palm Kids Kindergarten biasanya di akhir ajaran akan diadakan kunjungan
ke sini bersama para orangtua. Kemudian kami melakukan pengenalan terhadap orangtua
murid tentang sekolah ini.
Syena : Palm Kids ini ada banyak cabang, apa materi yang diberikan antar Palm Kids itu
sama atau beda miss?
Ms. Endah : Iya benar sekali, pusatnya itu ada di Palembang. Biasanya kita mengadakan
study banding untuk menyocokan materi-materi yang akan diberikan, tetapi pada dasarnya
semua Palm Kids itu sama, tetapi yayasannya sendiri berada di Palembang.
Syena : Terus, unsur utama yang sekolah beri untuk murid itu apa? Character building atau
pendidikan?
Ms. Endah : Unsur yang utama Palm Kids beri untuk murid-murid disini itu keduanya, bukan
cuma character building tetapi pendidikan itu juga, karena pada sekitar kelas 1 sampai 5 itu
karakter dan kepribadian anak mulai tumbuh, dan kami sebagai guru membantu mereka
mengarahkan ke arah yang benar sehingga mereka mempunyai kepribadian dan perilaku
yang baik tidak hanya kepada guru atau teman-teman, tetapi kepada orang tua atau
masyarakat.
Syena : Ok, kedua unsur itu sama pentingnya. Kemudian bagaimana dengan bahasa yang
mereka gunakan sehari-hari? Bahasa Inggris atau Mandarin?
Maranatha Christian University
Ms. Endah : Kita disini mengajarkan dua bahasa internasional, bahasa Inggris dan
Mandarin. Untuk bahasa sehari-hari, biasanya anak-anak lebih menggunakan bahasa
Inggris. Tetapi, mereka tetap berbicara bahasa Mandarin selama pelajaran tersebut
berlangsung.
Syena : Kalau begitu, anak-anak lebih suka menggunakan bahasa Inggris dari pada
Mandarin miss?
Ms. Endah : Iya, dimulai dengan mengucapkan selamat pagi, mereka harus mengucapkan
dengan “good morning” sampai pulang sekolah mereka mengucapkan “goodbye”.
Syena : Ok, sekarang saya akan bertanya mengenai guru-gurunya. Untuk staf dan gurunya
sendiri ada berapa miss?
Ms. Endah : Semua berjumlah sekitar 20 orang. Kalau gurunya sendiri ada sekitar 13orang
sisanya front office dan security
Syena : Kemudian bagaimana cara metode mengajar guru-guru disini?
Ms. Endah : Kami disini mempunyai metode mengajar yang berbeda-beda, tetapi kami
punya satu point yang mengharuskan mengajar dengan metode yang menyenangkan tetapi
tetap serius dan terorganisir.
Syena : okey, jadi cara mengajarnya yang berbeda tetapi maksudnya sama, yaitu mengajar
dengan menyenangkan tetapi tetap serius dan terorganisir.
Ms. Endah : Iya, benar sekali.
Syena : Bagaimana dengan classroom management nya miss? Gimana guru-guru disini
mengatur anak-anak dalam kelas?
Ms. Endah : Kami mempunyai cara yang berbeda-beda dalam menangani anak-anak disini,
dimulai dari cara menangani anak primary 1 sampai primary 5, kami harus lebih memahami
anak tersebut terlebih dahulu, sehingga kami mempunyai dasar untuk mengatur kelas,
karena sifat anak berbeda-beda sehingga kami juga menangani anak-anak dengan cara
yang berbeda pula.
Syena : Miss, kriteria guru yang seperti apa yang Palm Kids butuhkan untuk mengajar
murid-murid disini?
Ms. Endah : Sudah pasti harus pintar dalam membina anak-anak, pintar dan cekatan serta
peka terhadap kebutuhan anak-anak. Kita mengadakan test dulu, setelah nilainya
memenuhi syarat, saya menginterview calon guru yang akan mengajar. Setelah banyak
pertimbangan, baru menentukan bisa ditrima atau tidak. Setelah ditrima, tidak langsung
mengajar. Selama 3 bulan menjadi assistant dulu, mengamati anak-anak dan cara
belajarnya, setelah 3 bulan, baru diperbolehkan mengajar.
Syena : miss, kalau ada murid yang bertanya diluar mata pelajaran, dan miss sendiri tidak
bisa jawab, apa yang miss lakuin?
Ms. Endah : kalau saya tidak bisa menjawab, biasanya saya minta waktu sehari untuk
mencari jawabannya dan besok saya menghampiri anak tersebut dan menjawabnya.
Maranatha Christian University
Syena : Ok miss, pertanyaan terakhir. Kalau ada anak yang nangis karena mungkin
berkelahi dengan teman sendiri, bagaimana cara menyelesaikannya??
Ms. Endah : Biasanya saya panggil anak yang berantem itu, saya bawa ke ruang guru,
disana saya bertanya kenapa bisa terjadi perkelahian, kemudian saya biasanya kasih
nasihat buat mereka. Setelah itu saya suruh mereka untuk bersalaman atau berpelukan.
Syena : Jadi miss kasih nasihat kemudan menyuruh mereka untuk bersalaman?
Ms. Endah : Ya.
Syena : Miss, terima kasih sudah kasih saya waktu untuk tanya-tanya sedikit tentang
sekolah ini. Maaf kalau mengganggu waktu miss.
Ms. Endah : iya miss, sama-sama. Ini sama sekali tidak mengganggu waktu saya.
Syena : Thank you miss.
Ms endah : You’re welcome miss.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
It is important to build good behavior of young students. One of the
ways is through applying discipline at school. Students are expected to
have discipline by obeying the school rules in order to study harmoniously
with other students and to reach goals more effectively. As stated in
“Student Discipline In Government Schools” article that, a “statement of
purpose” should outline the aims of discipline in the school and the key
believe of principles upon wich the school’s policy is based” (par.3).
Thereby, in order to build good attitude of the young students, it is crucial
to instill discipline at school.
Discipline has a very important role for students, particularly in terms of
learning. Students who have discipline will demonstrate obedience to
school rules and have directed and organized learning. Moreover,
disciplined students will also be able to direct and control their behavior in
class. As stated in “On Obedience and Discipline” that, “discipline is used
to elicit obedience to a rule. It doesn't matter if it's you telling yourself to do
something, or someone else ordering you , it's through discipline that
1
Maranatha Christian University
you're able to carry the order out effectively” (par.2). When I had an
internship as a teacher assistant at Palm Kids Primary School, I found that
some students [10 students] in the second grade did not obey the rules.
The number of the students is about 20 students, 15 boys and 5 girls and
most of them are boys. They often demonstrated their disobedience to the
rules, especially during class activities, which disrupted the teaching and
learning process. Some examples of their disobeying the school rules are
namely, some students stood up and ran around the class, moved their
chairs back and forth and played toys during study time. Because of my
lack knowledge and experiences in making the young learners have
discipline, they still showed disobedience to the rules when my internship
was over. Therefore, through this term paper, I would like to find out the
solutions to solve the problem.
B. Identification of the Problem
I would like to analyze the problem through the following questions :
1.
Why did some second-grade students at Palm Kids Primary School
disobey the school rules?
2.
How did the problem influence the teaching and learning process?
3.
How is it to solve the problem?
C. Objectives and Benefits of the Study
2
Maranatha Christian University
In this paper I would like to find the causes, effects and solutions to the
problem I encountered when I had my apprenticeship, which is the
some students not obeying the school rules.
The benefits of this paper for the institution is whenever the institution
faces the same problem, this paper can be used as one of the sources to
solve the problem. For the readers, I hope this paper can give beneficial
ideas when they encounter similar problem. For me, when one day I face
similar problem, I hope I can know better ways to help the students obey
the rules.
D. Description of the Institution
This info Palm Kids Primary School is located at Jl.Sarwoendah IV
Pancurawis – Purwokerto. Palm Kids is an international school and it
facilitates three languages which are English as the first language,
Mandarin and Bahasa Indonesia. They also have six classes, ranging from
the first grade to the fifth grade. The current principal is Endah Sulistiowati,
S. Si and the vice principal is Kristina Widaninggar, S. Pd. The school’s
vision is to help students develop a strong personality so they may grow
into valuable, productive members of society. Their mission is to make
students learn more easily, more fun but still serious and organized.
E. Method of the Study
3
Maranatha Christian University
To support my data, I did an observation during my apprenticeship. I
did an interview with the principal, also obtained some data from the
Internet and library to support my analysis.
F. Limitation of the Study
My term paper is focused on the problem I encountered when I
became an assistant of English teacher in Palm Kids Primary School,
Bandung. This term paper focused on some of the teachers, me as a
teacher English assistant, and some second-grade students who did not
obey the school rules in class during my internship from 11January until 7
February 2013.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
In this chapter I would like to present the chosen solutions to solve the
problem. Before that, I would like to present the summary of the previous
chapters. The problem I found during my internship is the students did not
obey the school rules in the classroom. There are three causes of the
problem, the first is the teachers were not strict, the second is there were
external distractions, and the last is the students felt bored with the
subject. There are three effects of the problem, including, the study time
was wasted, disobedient students gained less knowledge from the
teacher, and the disobedient students bothered other students who were
willing to learn.
To solve this problem, I presented three potential solutions. The first
potential solution is the teachers should be strict to about the school rules.
The second potential solution is the teachers give a reward to the students
who obey the school rules. The third potential solution is the teachers
teach the students routines to obey the rules.
16
Maranatha Christian University
Based on the analysis of the potential solutions, as first solution can
make the students not to close with the teacher, because the teacher is
strict, I think the best solutions to the problem is the second and the third.
The second solution brings advantages of making the students happy
when their effort of obeying the rules is appreciated with the reward, and
they will be more enthusiastic in learning the subjects. The third solution
can also give benefits, including causing the students to obey the rules as
a habit and making the sudents be independent in doing assignments or
tasks. Therefore, the teaching and learning time will run smoothly and the
class will be more organized. By combining the solutions, it is hoped that
the students can obey the school rules in the classroom and will not find
the class boring anymore.
In conclusion, I think the problem of handling the students who do
not obey the school rules is really important. Thus, I would like to suggest
those who want to do an internship like I did, to improve their teaching
skills and their knowledge about how to teach and discipline the secondgrade students first and to apply the solutions presented in this term
paper.

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
In this chapter I would like to present the chosen solutions to solve the
problem. Before that, I would like to present the summary of the previous
chapters. The problem I found during my internship is the students did not
obey the school rules in the classroom. There are three causes of the
problem, the first is the teachers were not strict, the second is there were
external distractions, and the last is the students felt bored with the
subject. There are three effects of the problem, including, the study time
was wasted, disobedient students gained less knowledge from the
teacher, and the disobedient students bothered other students who were
willing to learn.
To solve this problem, I presented three potential solutions. The first
potential solution is the teachers should be strict to about the school rules.
The second potential solution is the teachers give a reward to the students
who obey the school rules. The third potential solution is the teachers
teach the students routines to obey the rules.

Based on the analysis of the potential solutions, as first solution can
make the students not to close with the teacher, because the teacher is
strict, I think the best solutions to the problem is the second and the third.
The second solution brings advantages of making the students happy
when their effort of obeying the rules is appreciated with the reward, and
they will be more enthusiastic in learning the subjects. The third solution
can also give benefits, including causing the students to obey the rules as
a habit and making the sudents be independent in doing assignments or
tasks. Therefore, the teaching and learning time will run smoothly and the
class will be more organized. By combining the solutions, it is hoped that
the students can obey the school rules in the classroom and will not find
the class boring anymore.
In conclusion, I think the problem of handling the students who do
not obey the school rules is really important. Thus, I would like to suggest
those who want to do an internship like I did, to improve their teaching
skills and their knowledge about how to teach and discipline the secondgrade students first and to apply the solutions presented in this term
paper.
