Observation:
-In my class there are two students who have big different behave. Abduall is
very intelligent and quit boy. However, Karim is intelligent but has bad
behavior than Abduall. In the last day I saw my teacher deal with him without
telling him you are bad boy. She just say I like the way of Abduall siting so
Karim want to be like his friend. Moreover, in the group, Abduall share the
puzzles with his friends but Karim was not . He just say this is main I do not
want to share it with you. I believe that can affect other students to have bad
behavior. From my perspective, those students are similar but Karim should
have time to can manage his behavior. MST praised Abduall to make Karim
have attention of his behave.

-here Abduall is very quit and

respect his teacher.

-Karim hit students.

Answer the following questions.

-why is it important to be proactive when trying to manage the behavior in
the class?
-What is the effect on the students if there is a lot of misbehavior in the
classroom?
-which of the behavior management strategies do you think are the most
important ones? Why?
-which classroom management strategy do you think you will do particularly
well? Why?
-Which one do you think will be difficult for you to do?
-Which one does your MST do really well?

-Usually, teachers in the classroom being proactive when they trying to

manage the behavior because that make it easier for them .As we know if
there are some students being misbehavior they will be like others so teacher
copy the behavior and try to do it. There are many of the behavior
management strategies I think it most important to have it in the classroom,
such as respect others, listen to the teachers, and being responsible. Because
it is very important to let others to have god impression about us. I think the
best strategy I will do it well that being on time, because that shows am
respect my job and I will be a model so I should shows other am respect my
work. However, there is one of the difficult thing to me is how I can all of
student. MST can deal with students who have bad behavior very well.

deal with students who have bad
behavior.
