Well-Managed Classroom is very
important for a teacher. As teachers
we
have to pay attention the entire situations that happen in the classroom. Besides, classroom need to be
managed effectively in order to create positive classroom environment (safe,
comfortable, and enhance concentration) that may contribute to the success of
effective teaching and learning activity.It also
contributes
to feelings of emotional and physical safety for students. It
means that the student can feel the sense of belonging of the classroom,
because they obey the rules together. They take care toward each other and
therefore, they can feel safe (physically and emotionally) during the learning
process.
Then, the
goals of classroom management itself are createing a community of trust. Here,
by building and obeying the classroom rules, both teacher and students will have a good trust between them. Next is developingstudents responsibilitythat is very important for the students, to be responsible towards their learning process. By learning to develop their personal responsibility in the classroom (from the classroom rules) students will feel that their attitude will affect/have consequences their life in the future. The last is Maximize time and opportunity for learning means by conducting a good classroom management, teachers can effectively spend time according to the lesson plan and can provide students’ engagement in the class if there is a spare time.

In managing the classroom,we
have to observe and understand the characteristic of the students, so that we know the way to communicate and giving
the material or leasson to
them. Then, it
influencesus
to give the roles and subjected our
students in the classroom without making
them difficult
because of our
activity. For the classroom, we
also have to make sure that the classroom is suitable and comfort to learn. Besides, not only managing but wealso have
to maintain our
classroom management to make our
lesson always success.
As
teachers,
we have to maintain our classroom management to get successful
lesson in every class that weteach. After understanding the situation
in the classroom and finding the way to manage the classroom, the teacher will
know how to manage or handle the class. The teacher should accustom his/her self in the classroom; do approaching and
getting closer with our
students. It will make the teacher automatically able to maintain theWell-classroom management because we already understood the situation in the
classroom.However, teachershave
to have many plans
when teaching in the classroom because unexpected plan will be easily happen in
every teaching. So,
the teacher will be still able to maintain the classroom. The teacher also has to be
consistent in manage his classroom, the changes may be happen, but make sure
that the students will receive his way in manage the classroom.
Another issue is about the important of classroom
management and teacher’s knowledge and teaching techniques. There is no more
important between classroom management and teacher’s knowledge or teaching
techniques, both of them are just same. They have important role to make successful lesson in the
classroom.Classroom management needs
to handle and control the students and situation in the classroom. It can build
the circumstances in the class. It will be good or bad circumstanses is depending on the classroom
management of the teacher. Then, the teacher also needs good knowledge and
technique in explaining the material to smoothen the successful lesson after
getting success in manages the class. So, classroom management and teacher’s
knowledge are important and related each other.
Here, there are 5 styles
of arrangement of classroom management that can be choice for you (teachers) to
manage your classroom well. The first is Auditorium, all the students
sit and facing the teacher. Next is clusterwhere the student works in small group, closely
bunched of groups of 4 to 8. Seminaris student sits in circular, square,
or U shaped arrangements. Then, Off-set means mall numbers of students sit at
tables but are not directly across from each other. The last is face to face style, here the students
sit facing each other. So, for you teacher(s).. Let’s prepare your self to manage your classroom
well!
