Interview's Result: Classroom Management at SMK Muhammadiyah Gamping (Vocational High School)

Classroom management is very effective one to make a better learning environment, where teacher need to create conducive classroom in order that to generate something that interest the students. But there are some matters that make teacher feel difficult to handle the class situation. Through this short essay we will to convey the result of interview has been held in SMK Muhammadiyah Gamping, we have interviewed one of English teachers in there. The English teacher we have interviewed named Ms. Asarika Fajarini. This school still using KTSP Curriculum. We have also summarized the interview’s result into some paragraphs in this part of essay.

Overall, when the learning activity is underway the situation of classroom can be said as conducive enough. Teacher we had been interviewed said that using appropriate teaching and learning models in learning affect the atmosphere in classroom. Implementing the learning model correctively can give the learning process more effective and all the students participating actively the whole of learning process to attain the expected competency level. The kinds of model implemented depend on the lesson material will being teacher given. When student feel bore, sometimes teacher bring in the game into learning and watching some videos. It causes the learning activities can be followed by students without feel bored and under pressure. So they will be active and focus on learning.

Making a good atmosphere in classroom activities needs some steps either in creating a learning model or the way teacher handles their student. Then, from the interview there are two sides of obstacle within implementing the method into learning as well. The first one is coming from student; some students seem less of self-confidence. While the activity is about discussion out of classroom, these students feel awkward, shame or confuse when teacher implementing certain model. Thinking pattern between student mostly over monotone or spend added time as much just only to get the content of lesson, so that the time of model to be implemented become much longer. The other side is the facilities of school, sometimes when teacher brings the certain model; it is not worked as well because less of facilities must be included to implement these models.

Teacher who has been interviewed also answered our questions “How to motivating the students to attain their best achievement?”  Basically, teachers have to develop the method and model in learning and teaching process because the good method of teaching will affect on the interest of student to following the learning activities. Moreover, student is more aware about their needs and feeling excited when they have entered the classroom doors to abreast learning process.

At least, from the interview we have been held at SMK Muhammadiyah 6 Gamping we conclude that to manage the classroom works as well, teacher must has the capabilities to teach the student and avoid them from saturation and turns into exciting learning so teacher can handle them and make everyone feel comfort when they do the activities of learning.
